Chapter 18: Made a Fruit Knife?
Xiao Yao didn't know anything about what was happening in the outside world. At this time, he had already entered the realm of self-forgetfulness, and he didn't notice at all that his soul power was rapidly increasing at an unimaginable speed.
It didn't take long for Xiao Yao to swing a full thousand hammers. When he retracted the hammer and stood up, his face was not red or panting, and some were just beads of sweat on his body, as if the stormy blow before was not done by him.
Placing the iron ingot in the center of the furnace again, he pulled the bellows with a "whirl", quickly raising the temperature of the flame and calcining.
"Purify again?"
Seeing this scene, everyone frowned slightly, and their surprised eyes glanced at the iron ingot, which was nearly half smaller in the center of the flame, and whispered in twos and threes.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Qingwu doesn't know how to forge, but this doesn't mean that he can't understand, tilting his head, he whispered to Xiao Qingfeng: "This is not our Xiao family's forging method?"
"I know the way!"
Xiao Qingfeng nodded with a serious expression, his eyes stared at Xiao Yao, although there was not the slightest wave in it, but his heart was like the waves of the sea, undulating back and forth.
"What a beautiful hammer technique!"
Seeing Xiao Yao pull up the bellows again, Xiao Qingya, who was sitting still in the east stand, couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Coordination, naturalness, without Lang spending the slightest effort, and even with the help of the power of rebound, a hammer is greater than the force of a hammer, this hammer method looks much more clever than our family's refining method!"
In her opinion, Xiao Yao is not tempering, but dancing, or practicing an unfathomable kung fu.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yao once again put the red and somewhat transparent iron on the forging table, and struck it again with the forging hammer in his hand, and the action was no different from before.
This time, everyone held their breath, like a beast ready to forage, quietly watching his extremely beautiful hammer technique.
It only took a short time for a thousand hammers to swing out again, and Xiao Yao's right hand drove the hammer to rotate in the air several times in succession, before the force on the hammer was dissipated, and the hammer stood up.
An iron ingot the size of a watermelon is only a quarter of its size at this time, and it is almost impossible to see the impurities in it with the naked eye.
But Xiao Yao didn't seem to be satisfied, shook his head slightly, threw the iron block to the center of the furnace again, opened the bellows, and a new round of forging began.
"Do you want to purify?" Seeing Xiao Yao calcining again, Xiao Hua couldn't help frowning, and exclaimed in his heart.
He is extremely talented in forging, so he can naturally see the extraordinaryness of Xiao Yao's beating method. But the next moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, smiled contemptuously, and muttered rather proudly:
"The current material is just enough to make a long sword, and if you refine it, it won't be enough to make a weapon. Xiao Yao, I think you are poor in donkey skills, right? I won this competition. ”
"Giggles!"
Seeing Xiao Yao refining again, Leng Hanshuang couldn't help but laugh a few times, and a little smugness flashed in his narrow triangular eyes, as if he had seen the scene of Xiao Yao's defeat and Xiao Qingfeng's disgrace.
However, Xiao Qinghe next to her frowned, staring at Xiao Yao without blinking his slightly gloomy eyes, and fell into deep thought.
"Boss!"
Suddenly, Leng Chen, who had never spoken, couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, his brows tightened, and he asked in great doubts: "Can that iron pimple still make a sword?"
"Can't!" Xiao Qingwu didn't think about it, and gave him an accurate answer very happily.
Leng Chen didn't say anything more on this issue, but a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he said categorically: "Boss, I want to learn forging from him, and I also want to become a respected spirit master!"
"Then tell him yourself!"
Xiao Qingwu pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and made a grimace, before he said stupidly: "Your boss and I don't have such a big face!"
"Your soul power is not enough!"
At this time, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly interjected and said, "You can only become a forger, not a spirit master!"
A seat of words was like a jar of cold water, instantly extinguishing Leng Chen's burning passion, but he seemed to know that his conditions were not enough, so he nodded his chin lightly and didn't say anything more.
Blacksmiths are a nice term for blacksmiths, and they can make ordinary metal weapons.
But in the Xuanling Continent, there is a profession that is above the martial arts: the spirit weaponist!
Spiritual Weapon Masters, as the name suggests, are able to create spiritual weapons that can make martial artists stronger in an instant. As long as he is a spiritual artifact master, no matter where he is at the first level, he is the object of the efforts of all parties at any cost, and his status is very prominent.
Just imagine, if a warrior in the warrior realm holds a spiritual weapon in his hand that is much higher than his own level, then his combat power will increase exponentially. Of course, he will definitely become the target of everyone's hunting.
On the mainland, those ores that can forge spiritual weapons are called spirit stones, and this kind of ore cannot be calcined by ordinary charcoal fire, and it must be a flame generated by a martial artist with a fire attribute with spiritual energy, so that they can be calcined, so as to forge a variety of spiritual weapons.
In addition to the fire attribute, becoming an excellent spirit master also requires strong soul power.
On the one hand, soul power is used to drive the aura in the body to maintain the temperature of the flame, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to control the heat during forging.
And the highest-level spiritual weapons are completely controlled by soul power, and the liquid that is turned into those spirit stones is made into the spirit weapons they need with their minds, so under such harsh conditions, people who are qualified and capable of becoming spirit weapons masters are naturally rare......
Soon, Xiao Yao completed a new round of calcination, and the hammer in his hand flew again.
This time, he didn't hit it a thousand times, and if he struck it any more, he would probably break the piece of iron in front of him, which was only half the size of a fist.
"It's so small, I'm afraid it's not enough to even dagger capital, right?"
The corners of Leng Chen's mouth twitched a few times, and his eyes were still staring at Xiao Yao, wondering what kind of weapon he would make.
Almost everyone had the same thoughts as him, and everyone held their breath and quietly watched the arrival of the last moment.
Xiao Yao stared at the iron block for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, and then put it in the center of the stove again and calcined it.
Until, when the iron turned red again, he turned off the fire and let it sit at the residual temperature for a while, before he took it out with a clamp and placed it on the forging table.
At this time, with a vague smile on his face, he picked up a small hammer in his hand and beat it indifferently and confidently.
"Bell, bell!"
The sound of percussion floated over the square again, into everyone's ears, and into everyone's hearts, all of them stood there quietly, not even daring to breathe, for fear of missing every detail of Xiao Yao!
"What can such a small piece of iron be made?" is a question that haunts everyone's hearts and minds.
As the minutes ticked by, and the furnace-like sun hung high overhead, the sound of the "bells" finally stopped.
Putting down the hammer, Xiao Yao looked at the first weapon he had created in the real world with the method of thousands of tempers, and his face couldn't help but smile confidently.
Nodding in satisfaction, Fang used his clips to toss the weapon he had carefully crafted into a steaming sink next to the forge table.
This kind of water is taken from the Xiao family's mysterious place spirit pool, even if it leaves there, it is still very cold, and it happens to be a natural coolant, which is used for the most refined purposes.
With a "snort", white smoke rose in a curling air, and the surrounding area instantly turned into a white world.
Xiao Yao's eyes stared at the pool without blinking, always observing the changes in the knife lying inside, in case the cooldown time was too long and the weapon was cracked, then he would definitely become the biggest laughing stock of the Xiao family!
Gradually, the white smoke cleared, and a dark, flickering knife lay quietly at the bottom of the sink. Compared to the knife created in the Wandering Dream, it is almost identical:
The blade exudes a deep luster, and the cold air is pressing, and at a glance, you feel like your soul is being swallowed.
Finding that Xiao Yao's weapon had been tempered in the last step, Xiao Hua walked over with a long sword he had just forged.
His eyes lowered, and after seeing the knife in the sink that was only half a hand, he couldn't help but laugh and ridicule Xiao Yao and said:
"Old Five, after tinkering for so long, you will make a 'fruit knife'?"
"Fruit knives?"
With a burst of amusement in his heart, Xiao Yao directly put his hand into the sink, and the cold and biting feeling made his hairs stand on end in an instant, his pores widened, and the heat in his body disappeared without a trace in an instant!
Not only that, but he also clearly felt the slightest aura entering his body, and there was an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body, and he couldn't help but blurt out:
"It's so cool!"
If you soak your body in it and cultivate, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Xiao Yao thought in his heart, and secretly swore that he must get the opportunity to go to the spirit pool to cultivate, so that he can improve his strength as soon as possible.
"Good knives!"
Seeing Xiao Yao take out the knife, it was cold and breathtaking under the sun, Xiao Qingwu couldn't help blurting out, but immediately, he showed a crying and laughing expression, turned his head to Leng Chen beside him and asked:
"Can this thing really kill?"
"He can!"
Leng Chen had seen the power of Xiao Yao's flying knife, and after listening to Xiao Qingwu's words, he didn't think about it, and said in a very affirmative tone.
He knew that in the first encounter last night, he had the advantage in weapons, and if he replaced the knife in front of him, it was really a question whether he would be able to escape with his whole body.
"As long as it can kill, it's a good weapon!"
Xiao Qingfeng interjected meaningfully and walked up. Xiao Haotian can be despicable and shameless in the materials, so he is also very likely to play some small tricks in the last step of identification.
Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng had to keep an eye on it, once the Great Elder cheated him, then he decided to give him some color to take a look......
