Chapter 44: The Four Sheep Burning Furnace
"Earth...... Ground level?" everyone in the Qiao family felt that they couldn't breathe.
Is it the prefecture level at every turn?
It seems that there are not many prefecture-level magic weapons in this Kan City, right?
"Little master, how sure are you?" Qiao Dong asked after calming down his excitement.
"I don't know, after all, I haven't practiced any magic weapons, oh, no, I haven't practiced this magic weapon......" Zhang Chao almost said that he was out of his mouth, and hurriedly corrected it, and said with the appearance of an old god: "As long as you can supply the materials, it seems that now there is still more than fifty percent certainty!"
After all, when any forger creates a magic weapon that has never been accepted, no one dares to say it to the fullest, and it is still accompanied by a chance of failure.
Zhang Chao even boasted directly about Haikou in order to show his ability.
"Uh, the material...... What do you need? Our Qiao family will try our best to get it!" Qiao Dong nodded as if he didn't understand, for Zhang Chao, he had no way to distrust him now, after all, the forging master was hard to find, although the Iron Union had masters, but the Qiao family didn't seem to be able to afford that money, so they could only pin their hopes on Zhang Chao.
"Well, you need ivy, dead wood tires, dragon bones, ten thousand years of heavenly ointment, metallurgical essence, Taiyi divine iron, ice pith, ......" Zhang Chao said the names of hundreds of materials in one breath.
Most of these materials he can't remember for a while, but they are recorded in the "Records of Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures", as long as you think about them carefully, you can find out the relevant things.
But whether these materials are rare or something, he does not know.
An old man in the Qiao family had already prepared a pen and paper, and quickly recorded all the materials that Zhang Chao had read.
Then a few people looked around the paper for a long time, and everyone kept shaking their heads.
"What's the difficulty?" Zhang Chao couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"No, it's very difficult!" Qiao Heng's face was ugly, and he spread his hands and said: "Brother Zhang Chao, most of these materials we haven't even heard of, and Sancheng has heard of them, but they are expensive and scarce, even if you go to the auction hall to make up them, I'm afraid you can't make up half of them!"
"As for the remaining 20%, it's not difficult, you can buy it casually!"
"Huh, so much worse?" Zhang Chao was also a little surprised, if he was so bad, he was afraid that it would be difficult to create a complete axe.
Even if this axe is just a fake!
"This ...... Could it be that it can't be refined?" Qiao Dong felt a little big.
"No, you can still give it a try!" Zhang Chao waved his hand, he didn't want to waste such a good opportunity to give himself practice: "I can make some substitutions, but I can't guarantee what the quality of the axe will be in the end!"
"Instead?" the Qiao family looked at each other, this was a method that ordinary forgers did not dare to try.
After all, in refining magic weapons, each material has its own unique properties, and all the characteristics are fused with each other and complement each other in order to exert the power of magic weapons.
But once a certain material in it is replaced, it will cause the properties of the materials to clash with each other, and it is likely to fall short!
"Well, let's do it, I'll go to the shops in Cannes City first, and then take a look at the place where your Qiao family stores the materials, and count in my heart, early tomorrow morning, I will list the new materials, and we can start work as soon as we are ready!" Zhang Chao clapped his hands, he didn't need the Styx Codex anymore, because how to refine that magic weapon, every step and process, had been imprinted in his mind.
A good memory is, first of all, the minimum thing to be a blacksmith.
At least Zhang Chao has a good memory and never forgets it.
"That's good, I'll let Lao Pang follow you, get enough crystal coins, see what is needed, buy it directly, and save trouble!" Qiao Heng directly gave Zhang Chao special treatment, which was also telling Zhang Chao, let it go, the Qiao family believes in you!
Zhang Chao was slightly moved in his heart, he could mix with this kind of treatment, but he had never thought of it before.
Immediately after, he began to wander among the shops in Cannes, accompanied by Lao Pang.
After shopping all day, Zhang Chao already knew what kind of materials he could buy.
To be honest, the situation is not very rosy.
It was still very different from what he expected.
Turning around, he checked the warehouse where Qiao's family stored materials, and then combined with the things he swept from Black Cliff Village, after a night of thinking, combined with the "Records of Heaven and Earth", he re-listed a list of materials.
As for the materials used to replace them, whether they can restore the Nether Devil May Cry Axe to the greatest extent, he has no confidence in his heart, but it is man-made, and only when he really starts refining can he know the shortcomings.
But the more this happened, the more he looked forward to it.
After another three days, the Qiao family barely gathered all the materials needed for Zhang Chao's refiner, and prepared a large empty space for Zhang Chao in the backyard, and asked the previous blacksmiths to stay and work as small workers for Zhang Chao.
In the past few days, Qiao Ruixue has been resting in the room because she has been frightened, and she is reluctant to go out.
And Qiao Ruiyun is still putting pressure on the Wang family with some elites of the Qiao family.
Of course, if Zhang Chao wants to refine this axe, it is completely impossible to use an ordinary furnace, even if he uses a lot of materials instead, but many of these materials are very high-grade, and the temperature of the ordinary furnace cannot reach it, so it is impossible to smelt and purify those materials well.
Therefore, the Qiao family specially invited a very old refining furnace out.
This furnace is said to have been left by the ancestors of the Qiao family, and it used to be the refining furnace of the Siding caster, but it is a pity that the Qiao family has declined from generation to generation, and no one knows how to refine the furnace now, this furnace has been placed in the cellar, and it has not seen the light of day for hundreds of years.
When Zhang Chao saw this refining furnace for the first time, he immediately liked it.
It was old, dusty, more than half a man tall, made of extremely heat-resistant materials, covered in countless patterns that looked like some kind of totem or rune.
At the top of the furnace, there are carvings of four sheep's heads, sticking outward, pointing in four directions, and the sheep's mouth is hollow, which should be designed to vent the pressure and water vapor in the furnace.
I have to say that this refining furnace itself is also a magic weapon, and the quality should be at the level of the prefecture-level middle grade.
It is said that the magic weapon used in refining is very rare, and his own nine-pattern heavenly hammer is one, and now there is another one for him to use, how can he not be excited for a caster?
"Little master, this is the refining furnace used by the ancestors, called the Four Sheep Burning Ding Furnace, and the quality is not bad, it should be able to meet your function of refining this magic weapon!" Qiao Dong said, in order to successfully refine the Netherworld Devil Weeping Axe, he also let it go.
The next problem is that Zhang Chao's cultivation is too low to make this refining furnace run at full capacity, so the Qiao family must also send a master to assist him.
Qiao Heng gritted his teeth, counting himself, and found a total of sixteen Qiao family masters who had cultivated above the fifth layer of the Kaiyuan Realm, and they were arranged behind Zhang Chao, and they were at any time to obey the dispatch.
Zhang Chao took a deep breath, and without delay, he took out the Nine-Pattern Heavenly Hammer and used the Hundred Flowers Hammer Method to carry out preliminary processing of those materials one by one.
This is a complicated process, he has to take different strengths and beating methods according to the nature of each material, and then ignite the Siyang incineration furnace, put the materials with similar texture into it first, and let the sixteen Qiao family masters use Yuan Force to urge the furnace fire, and he controls the fire temperature, so that the impurities in those materials are peeled off little by little.
Qiao Dong watched on the side for a long time, and saw that Zhang Chao's movements were numb and clever, so he slightly let go of half of his heart, turned around and left, and went to do something else.
After all, the Wang family and the Qiao family are still at war, and as the head of the family, he can't take it lightly at any time.
Not long after, Qiao Ruixue came again.
When she heard that Zhang Chao was going to refine the Qiao family, she was surprised, and she didn't know if this thief was fooling the Qiao family.
But when he saw Zhang Chao sweating and concentrating on the refining steps, he was slightly surprised in his heart.
"This little thief is really good at refining weapons!" she muttered to herself, "and it seems that only when he is refining weapons does he look slightly more pleasing to the eye......"
Although she said so, she was very strange, why did she feel that Zhang Chao at this time was not so annoying, but on the contrary, there were some attractive flashes?
It is said that men are the most attractive when they are serious, is this really the case?
