Chapter 7: The Swordsmith
The swordsmith, as the name suggests, is the one who forges the spirit sword.
Spirit sword, what is that? It is an indispensable auxiliary thing for cultivators on the continent, it can increase the power of the cultivator's sword technique several times, and the degree of cherishing is naturally self-evident, and the swordsmith is a group of people who forge spirit swords, so you can imagine how noble the status of the swordsmith is in this Ten Thousand Swords Continent.
If the swordsmith could forge the spirit sword by beating the fine iron like a blacksmith, perhaps the spirit sword on the continent would not be so valuable. The absolute dignity of being a swordsmith depends not only on their ability to forge a variety of spirit swords, but also on the extremely demanding conditions for becoming a swordsmith.
First of all, to become a swordsmith, you must be an excellent fire-attribute swordsman, because the flame used to cast the spirit sword is not ordinary fire, but the aura flame catalyzed by the aura of the fire attribute, and the aura flame calcines the material before the next step of refining;
Secondly, to become a swordsmith, you must also be an excellent thunder attribute swordsman, that's right, to become a swordsmith you must have two attributes, as we all know, the attributes of a cultivator's aura are determined according to their souls, and there is only one human soul, so it is difficult to give birth to two attributes.
Even if someone's soul occasionally has some mutations and has two attributes, it is not necessarily the fire and thunder attribute, in addition, having the fire and thunder attribute does not necessarily mean that it can meet the standard, because the requirement to become a sword caster is that the fire and thunder attribute must be evenly matched, that is to say, the fire attribute and the thunder attribute must be equally strong, and those who are lucky enough to have the fire and thunder attribute, but the attribute is strong and weak, will not be able to complete the casting of the spirit sword because the strong attribute overwhelms the weak attribute in the casting process.
Finally, to become an excellent swordsmith, you must also have quite outstanding soul power, because the casting of the spirit sword is a rather complicated thing, different from the blacksmiths casting ordinary utensils, when casting the spirit sword, different materials should be burned with different flame temperatures, sometimes high and sometimes low, in addition, the strength required by different materials when being forged by the lightning attribute is also different, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, so this requires the swordsmith to use its powerful soul power to subtly control the temperature of the flame and the strength of the forging, only in this way can it be possible to forge the spirit swordγ
Between the above conditions, it is quite difficult to become a swordsmith on the Ten Thousand Swords Continent, and there may not be a swordsmith among 10,000 or 100,000 people, after all, the achievements of a swordsmith are different from those that can be cultivated in the later stages of cultivation, and it almost completely depends on the innate conditions of the cultivator, so it also makes many people on the continent who have the dream of becoming a swordsmith helpless.
Coming back from his trance, Shao Wei glanced at the four-pattern spirit sword again, and then a sneer of disdain appeared on his face again, I don't know if it was aimed at the spirit sword or the human ......
After shaking his head slightly, shaking off all the irritability in his mind, Shao Wei turned his head to look at the girl who fell silent beside him.
At this moment, she doesn't have the spicy appearance of the past, she doesn't quarrel with herself, she doesn't fight with herself, she doesn't chase and kill herself with a sword all day long, she is exactly what she has been praying in her heart, but the unruly girl who has calmed down like this is in front of her eyes, but he doesn't know why, but he feels that something is not a taste.
"Hi..."
Shao Wei sighed lightly and frowned, looking a little anxious and upset in his heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, after inadvertently patting his forehead, Shao Wei finally stopped frowning, as if he had made up some kind of determination, so the gloom on his resolute face was swept away, and then his cynical evil smile was revealed again.
Shao Wei lightly pestled Nangong Qinyin beside him with his elbow, looked directly at Nangong Qinyin's bleak little face turned around, and said:
"Hey, wicked girl, do you want to go with him?"
After speaking, Shao Wei showed an intriguing smile on his face, and then continued:
"Excuse me, you don't want to..."
Nangong Qinyin just looked at Shao Wei who was close at hand, although he still had a cynical look on his face, but she saw something different from the past in his deep eyes, and the firm and deep gaze was like a ray of sunshine, which made her feel the warmth and safety that she had not seen for a long time in the dark.
"I don't want to..."
Nangong Qinyin stared straight at Shao Wei in front of him, a pair of Danfeng eyes gradually covered with crystal, and finally said with a hint of trill.
After getting the answer, Shao Wei smiled at the pear blossom raining Nangong Qinyin again, gently helped her wipe the crystal on her cheek, and then stood up and walked towards the center of the hall.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nangong, Miss Nangong may not leave with you today. β
......
The sound spread, and the hall was suddenly silent, and then everyone followed the sound to focus on the young man.
Shao Wei stood straight in the center of the hall, his eyes looking directly at Gao Tang, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Shao Wei, step down, there's no place for you to talk here. β
It seemed that Shao Wei's words and deeds at the moment were a little out of order, and the Great Elder, who had always been strict, hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
Shao Wei turned his head to look at the Great Elder sitting in the second seat of the main seat, smiled slightly, did not flinch, but took a step forward and said:
"Great Elder, I am not standing here as a disciple of the Flower Sect, but as a friend of the evil and Nangong Qinyin, I came to talk to Mr. Nangong for a few words."
Shao Wei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he said the word friend, then smiled helplessly, shook his head, and continued: "So everything I do now has nothing to do with Huazong." β
After Shao Wei finished speaking, he set his eyes on Nangong Shuo on the main seat, as if he wanted Nangong Shuo to give an exact answer.
Feeling Shao Wei's eager gaze, Nangong Shuo couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, low and inaudible, and then saw him smile slightly, and looked at His Royal Highness Shao Wei, and then a powerful momentum suddenly emanated from his body, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
"Eight Patterns Great Sword Master!"
The momentum hit, and the three elders above the high hall suddenly exclaimed, and then they were about to get up to stop it, but as soon as she stood up, she was waved by Shao Xueqing, who was sitting opposite, and sat back.
After that, I saw Shao Xueqing's right hand wave slightly, and an equally powerful Great Sword Master's momentum also emanated from her body, and then completely surrounded the mentor disciples sitting on both sides of the main hall in an instant, so Nangong Shuo's momentum oppression was also isolated in the center of the main hall.
Without the momentum oppression of the great swordsman, everyone in the hall suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on their seats weakly, as if they were fighting with others, draining all the strength of their bodies, which shows how unfathomable the strength of the great swordsman is, just a momentum oppression, it is to make the people of His Highness so embarrassed.
However, not long after everyone was relieved, they found Shao Wei in the center of the main hall, only to see that his expression was solemn, his legs were slightly bent, showing a trend of one after the other, and that appearance was obviously still oppressed by Nangong Shuo's momentum, so he couldn't help but immediately pinch a cold sweat for him: "He doesn't have any aura." β
At this moment, Shao Wei is in the center of the main hall, completely bearing the momentum oppression of Nangong Shuo, although the momentum oppression is invisible and shadowless, but when it falls on the person, it is like a boulder pressing on the top, making the person's whole body paralyzed, and it is difficult to move an inch. Shao Wei just stood there quietly, motionless, as if the momentum of a thousand catties of momentum oppressed him so that he could be crushed to the ground if he moved a little.
"Is this the strength of the Great Sword Master? β
Shao Wei muttered in his heart, enduring Nangong Shuo's momentum like a thousand catties of boulder, his brows were furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead from time to time.
But despite this, Shao Wei still did not give up, with a resolute face: although the momentum oppression of this great sword master made him physically and mentally exhausted, but looking back on the past ten years, the meridians were broken, the seven years of merciless ridicule by others, the deep mountains alone, three years of non-stop tempering, all of this, he gritted his teeth and persevered, today, how could he succumb to this small momentum oppression!
So, I saw Shao Wei's clenched fists trembling slightly, and then the strength of his whole body burst out, and then, in the surprised eyes of everyone in the hall, he slowly straightened his body, his head rose slightly, and Nangong Shuo's eyes were opposite to that of the main seat, and his domineering spirit was abnormal.
