Chapter 8: The Horse Chopping Knife
As for giving it to the White Tiger, Liu Qianyi was to thank the White Tiger for protecting him. The second is that he has a systematic cultivation method, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted. And the white tiger is growing up by relying on talent and chance, which is very difficult and difficult. In this way, the white tiger picked up a big bargain.
In addition to Zhu Guo, he also got a good benefit in the Red Wolf Valley. Unexpectedly, a small vein of dark iron ore was discovered. According to the introduction of the basic knowledge of alchemy, although Xuantie is only a very ordinary, even low-grade refining material in the entire cultivation realm. However, it is very versatile, and it is used in almost many places. Besides, the grade of Xuantie is more than one step higher than that of ordinary mortal iron, and after refining it with real fire again, the quality of the weapons produced is also good.
The white tiger ate the vermilion fruit, and it can't be allowed to eat it in vain. Under Liu Qian's coercion, he took on the responsibility of being a porter. After picking up all the tons of dark iron ore, he let the white tiger carry it back to the cave several times. The white tiger refused to put down his arrogant shelf, but his mouth was soft. After Liu Qian strongly demanded that he return the Zhu Guo and had no way out, he could only reluctantly agree to Liu Qian's unscrupulous request.
There is an unexpected surprise, that is, in the center of the iron mine. A piece of crystal jade the size of a pigeon's egg was found. This stone is extraordinary at first glance. After Liu Qian carefully checked and compared in the jade slips, he finally determined that this stone was actually an unavoidable immortal stone in the cultivation realm. Suddenly he was overjoyed, you must know that this kind of immortal stone formed by inheriting the aura of heaven and earth is extremely rare, and it usually does not grow alone, but is often born with various mineral veins, which is the essence of the entire mineral vein. From the information, Liu Qian's luck this time was extremely good. The rarer and more precious the vein, the higher the chance of containing fairy stones. But this kind of ordinary dark iron vein can contain a medium-grade immortal stone, which cannot but be said to be Liu Qian's great shit luck.
The range of effects of fairy stones is very wide, and there are four main uses. First, all kinds of magic weapons need to be driven by fairy stones, and their power is doubled. The second is that when cultivating, you can use the high-purity aura in the immortal stone to speed up the progress of cultivation. Third, it is used as the hard currency of the entire cultivation realm. To measure the value of something, it is usually compared with fairy stones. Fourth, it is still used to refine magic weapons, not inlays. Instead, after crushing the fairy stone, it is mixed and smelted with other materials, which greatly improves the quality of the materials, so as to refine a better magic weapon. Of course, there are some other miscellaneous uses of fairy stones, which will not be explained here.
In short, a medium-grade immortal stone is also a very good thing in the cultivation realm. Far more than the value of that piece of iron ore hundreds of times, thousands of times. In any case, Liu Qian still stuck this treasure on his chest and hid it first. A clear and cool feeling spreads out in the chest and spreads throughout the body, invigorating the mind and feeling clear.
After the white tiger finished his work, he hurriedly got into his hole. The benefits of digesting the vermilion fruit went. And Liu Qian, the most important job at this time is to refine the dark iron from the ore first.
Originally, according to alchemy, to refine this ore, it was usually only necessary to throw it into the refining furnace. However, now that Liu Qian is poor and white, how can there be any refining furnace? Ordinary furnaces made of ordinary iron are simply unusable. At the very least, you need something like dark iron to make a stove. In desperation, Liu Qian could only rely on his own hands. First, I made some block molds out of stones. Then, the ore is refined piece by piece by real fire.
After all, Xuantie is not the same as ordinary iron, Liu Qian's first taste is really fire, and it takes more than half an hour to smelt a piece of Xuaniron ore the size of a head. And the dark iron refined in more than half an hour is only as small as the size of a fist.
Half an hour of continuous use of real fire is already the limit of Liu Qian's now. Only after resuming meditation and regaining true qi can we start work again. Fortunately, this is also a method of exercise, otherwise Liu Qian would have been unable to stand this kind of boring work.
A month later, several tons of dark iron ore were finally preliminarily refined, and finally more than 200 catties of dark iron were formed. At this time, Liu Qian has also grown from supporting half an hour to supporting about fifty minutes. Grandma's, alchemy is really a good way to practice, being able to see his progress every day, Liu Qianxin couldn't help but start to be proud. But the white tiger didn't come out for a month as soon as it entered the hole. I guess it will come out again, and it will have an extraordinary effect.
After cleaning up the debris, the next step is to refine the dark iron again, remove its impurities, and compress the volume to increase its density. It took more than two months to comb through all the blackiron nine times. The weight of the black iron has not decreased much, but the volume is half smaller. An inconspicuous piece of black iron the size of a brick is staggeringly heavy in your hand.
The dark iron, which is less than two hundred catties, is not much in size together, and it must be useless to make a refining furnace. You can only make a hammer and a long knife, the hammer is easy to make, make a mold and melt and pour, and add a wooden handle.
But the knife was different, and it took more than a month to melt it three times. It was made to Liu Qian's satisfactory appearance, a horse chopping knife with a thick back and a wide blade, freshly baked. In the following days, it was a non-stop heating and thrashing, this method. Not only can you make a satisfying knife, but it is also good for cultivation. Every time the innate true qi is exhausted, and then meditate, the effect is even more obvious, especially with the effect of the immortal stone. In just half a year, Liu Qian was almost promoted from the early stage of congenital to the middle stage of congenital.
The cultivation time of the innate realm is unbearable for a long time. Many innate masters with extraordinary qualifications, with a lifespan of five hundred years, may not be able to break through the realm and form a golden pill.
The blade shone in the bright sun, revealing a faint cold light. It took a total of half a year, and the Xuantie Chopping Knife was finally completed. Liu Qian held this wide, thick but murderous horse chopping knife, condensed his energy, and stood majestically against a huge rock.
After a long time, he drank in a deep voice. The horse chopping knife slashed away with a killing aura in the void, and the extremely good true qi penetration passed through the knife. A faint half-moon arc-shaped sword qi was formed, and the sword qi came out of the body. With a bang, the rock cracked through it and split in half.
