Chapter 45: Blown Up
For five consecutive days, Zhang Chao almost never left the Siyang Ding Furnace.
Even he basically didn't sleep much, and he really felt that he couldn't bear it, that is, he took a little rest for two pillars of incense, and then continued to work.
Qiao Heng and the others were also exhausted, after all, it was indeed a chore to continuously convey Yuan Force to the Four Sheep Incineration Furnace and control the temperature of the fire.
However, everyone's efforts have also been quite fruitful, the axe handle of the Nether May Cry Axe has been refined, and now what we need to start is to fuse the remaining materials together, and then hammer it repeatedly to become an axe, and connect the axe and the axe handle together to complete the refining of this magic weapon!
Although Zhang Chao encountered a lot of problems in the refining process, after all, these materials were very different from those recorded in the original Styx Codex, and he wanted to try to combine the refining methods in the "Records of Heaven and Earth" and the "Ten Thousand Things Refining Method" to process and integrate these materials.
But so far, his idea is in the right direction, and there have been no major mistakes.
At the same time, his experience in refining weapons is also improving rapidly, whether it is the technique or the degree of mastery of Yuan Li, it can be said that it is not the same as five days ago.
Qiao Heng and the others have always looked at it, and they also admired Zhang Chaofa.
Sure enough, people are not talking big, but there are real materials, don't you see that the axe is already half formed?
Not to mention anything else, the handle of the axe alone exuded bursts of aura, and the runes on it were dense, as if a very huge amount of energy was hidden.
"Next, it's the axe!" Zhang Chao carefully took out the metal material that had been completely stripped of impurities from the furnace, and then pressed it into a mold.
With each hammer fall, sparks burst out, and waves of Yuan Force rippled from above the axe.
At the same time as dropping the hammer, Zhang Chao also continued to dip the yuan force into the axe, forcibly dissolving the textures.
He didn't understand it before, but now he understands that these textures are the formations carved in the axe!
The magic weapon is precisely because of the formation within it, which reacts and is activated when driven by the user's Yuan Force, so that it can release powerful power.
But this thing is not as simple as it says, after all, it is not easy to make these texture formations and materials completely merge together.
The difficulty of it is known only to the refiner.
"Click!" Suddenly, a crack appeared in the axe!
"This ......" Zhang Chao hurriedly stopped, his brows locked together.
"Click!" Immediately after, cracks spread in all directions, and the entire red-colored axe looked as if it was about to crack at any moment.
"Oh no, could it be that the texture formation doesn't match the material?" he gasped, although it was recorded in the "Ten Thousand Things Refining Weapon Method" that there was such a possibility, he didn't expect him to encounter it so soon.
Compatibility is the most critical issue between materials and formations.
"Click!" cracks became more and more, and there was a cracking sound.
"What's going on, little master, this ......" The faces of the Qiao family also changed.
"It's not good, everyone retreat!" Zhang Chao felt that the blood on his body was cold, and he hurriedly shouted and jumped out.
"Run!" Qiao Heng also had a numb scalp and jumped backwards.
When everyone was out of the way, suddenly an explosion sounded.
A pitch-black mushroom cloud rolled into the sky, and the aftermath of the powerful explosion swept in all directions, smashing all the surrounding houses and trees!
This explosion shocked the entire Qiao family, and they all focused their eyes on the area in the backyard.
"What's the matter? Did the Wang family come to attack him?" Qiao Dong, who was drinking tea in the study, stood up suddenly, pushed the door with an ugly face and ran out.
Everyone in the Qiao family immediately ran towards the backyard.
Not only the Qiao family, but even the people next to the Qiao family were extremely shocked, and they were shocked by this sudden explosion.
In the backyard of Qiao's house, the smoke cleared, and Zhang Chao got up from the ground with a dark face, patted the dust on his body, and spit out a few mouthfuls of sand.
The others also got up, unharmed by the fact that they had been running fast just now.
But everyone was dusty, as if they had come out of a coal heap.
"This ...... What's going on?" At this moment, Qiao Dong and the others also rushed over, and saw the mess all over the ground, and the corners of their eyes kept beating.
The anvils were blown to the roofs of the houses in the distance, and the four sheep incinerators fell to the side, and molten iron continued to flow out of them.
A large crater had been blown out of the ground, and black smoke was constantly emitting from the ground.
"Ha, are they all here?" Zhang Chao scratched his head in embarrassment: "This ...... Isn't it obvious that people miss their hands and horses stumble?
"Huh?" Qiao Dong and the others were confused.
"Ahem, in the process of refining, it is normal to have failures, even if it is his own forger, he doesn't dare to say that he is 100% successful in refining anything!" Zhang Chao coughed pretendedly, then put his hands behind his back, and said with an old god: "However, this explosion is indeed because of some of my mistakes, but I already know the problem, you guys don't worry, there should be no problem next time!"
Everyone nodded when they heard this, Zhang Chao was not wrong at all, and they all knew that since they saw that the little master was so confident, they were not good at saying anything, and they all expressed their expectations.
Zhang Chao first picked up the Siyang incineration furnace, checked the molten iron inside, and then looked for clues everywhere, repeating the refining process just now in his mind.
What went wrong?
To be honest, he doesn't have a score in his mind at all now, and he can only search for the reason little by little.
Sighing, he felt that he had just been too proud, and as a result, he got carried away before this happened.
Although the Qiao family has prepared three refining materials for themselves, they can't all be harmed!
Before restarting the refining process, he first combed through it, looking for all the bad clues in the refining process just now.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise not far away.
"Your Excellency, you can't go in!"
"Fuck off, is there any place in this city that I can't enter?"
Several members of the Qiao family were pushed to the ground.
Immediately after, a neatly dressed middle-aged man, with a high-spirited appearance, walked over.
This person pouted his mouth and walked in all directions, full of style, which made many Qiao family members frown.
"Where did this guy come from, dare to trespass into my Qiao family without permission, and be so rampant?" A junior of the Qiao family couldn't help it, and wanted to roll up his arms and sleeves to teach him a lesson.
"It's rude!" Qiao Dong hurriedly waved his sleeves, then stepped forward, saluted respectfully to the comer, and clasped his hands into fists: "What kind of wind is blowing you, Master Zhao, here?"
"Hmph, Qiao Dong, I just passed by here, and I saw a violent explosion, others don't know why, but I understand that someone is refining weapons in your Qiao family, and it is still refining magic weapons above the prefecture level, otherwise it would be impossible for such a violent explosion!"
"Well, Master Zhao's discernment, it is true that the little girl invited a friend a few days ago, who claims to be a forger, and said that she can help our Qiao family refine some gadgets, you should have heard that the contradiction between my Qiao family and the Wang family today has reached the point of war, so ......" Qiao Dong broke out in a cold sweat and explained in a squeak.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in any of this!" The visitor waved his hand and said leisurely: "I'm only interested in Qi refiners, I don't know where the master came from?
But when he saw Zhang Chao, who was meditating in a piece of waste, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Needless to say, Zhang Chao's age can be seen at a glance, his face is immature, and it is impossible to exceed twenty, on the other hand, he is more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy head.
"The ...... Could it be him?" the visitor was a little surprised.
"Don't hide it from Master Zhao, it's this son!" Qiao Dong didn't dare to hide it.
"Oh, interesting, it's the first time I've seen such a young forger!" the visitor suddenly became interested, ignored others, and walked towards Zhang Chao......
