009 In the blacksmith's shop
readx;
Balu was not much better off than his son, and his face was deformed by the burning, and he was choked like a pig's liver. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Fang Ruitao picked up a piece of beast meat, took a bite and chewed it carefully, although it was not as good as those professional productions in later generations, but it was barely able to eat. As for the bread, after grinding the flour a lot, the texture is also very good.
The guests and hosts enjoyed this meal, and Balu immediately decided that the cooking work would be handed over to Fang Ruitao in the future, while their father and son were responsible for the preparation of ingredients and firewood. There were no electric lights, no oil lamps, not even candles, and it was pitch black at night, except for the faint flickering flame in the hearth. After dinner, Fang Ruitao said goodbye to Balu father and son, and returned to his room, usually everyone is ready to go to bed at this time, but Fang Ruitao is transmitted from the modern society with a rich nightlife, he is not used to sleeping so early, after returning to the house everywhere, he sat cross-legged on the bed again and re-entered the cultivation state.
Starting to cultivate again, in just a few minutes, Fang Ruitao settled down again, and saw the energy lines floating around in the space. As soon as the cultivation state was opened, the surrounding energy threads seemed to be summoned, slowly surging towards Fang Ruitao, although the speed at which it entered the body was not as fast as the first cultivation, it was also quite impressive.
The muscles of his whole body were hungry and thirsty to absorb the power of the free elements in the air, like a shriveled sponge absorbing water, and soon Fang Ruitao noticed the difference. The energy that entered this time was not like the first cultivation that was like a line wandering in the muscles, but was quickly devoured by those hybrid spirals that had turned into eight colors, or ignored the colorless space energy, which could only be regarded as seven colors.
Constantly absorbing the energy of various attributes in the air, those colorful spirals gradually began to thicken, and at the same time as the spirals became thicker, the lines themselves were gradually becoming shorter, and by the time Fang Ruitao finished his work, the energy lines had become a full percent thicker, and of course, they had also become a full percent shorter. Coming out of the state of concentration, Fang Ruitao let out a long breath, no wonder Balu especially emphasized that the length of time for the first cultivation was very important, it turned out that the first cultivation basically determined the future development potential.
If he hadn't condensed the battle qi of various attributes together and stored a large amount of it in the meridians and dantians, the benefits he could obtain would be much worse than now. The energy absorbed for the first time has already set the capacity of each cultivation, and in the future, cultivation will be the result of strengthening the first cultivation, if the energy absorbed for the first time is too small, it will naturally affect the cultivation effect, and Fang Ruitao, who has the meridians and dantian to share, already has forty-eight thousand spiral energy bodies in his body at this time, which may not be the largest number in the entire continent, but considering that each of its energy bodies contains eight battle qi of various attributes, its total amount can definitely be crowned.
After cultivating the battle qi for two hours, Fang Ruitao's body could no longer contain it, which was already very remarkable for him who had just started to contact the battle qi cultivation, not to mention that he didn't exercise after the first absorption, and the battle qi didn't have time to transform his body. Although in the future, with the cultivation of battle qi, the absorption capacity of each energy spiral will become larger and larger, if the total amount of the spiral body is insufficient, there will always be a time when it can no longer increase its capacity, and this is the bottleneck of cultivation.
Fang Ruitao wanted to cultivate his true qi again, but there were too many colorful spirals in his body now, and in addition to the muscles, most of the meridians and dantian were also filled with battle qi, which made Fang Ruitao dare not try. After all, true qi is a thing in that world, mixing it with battle qi, who can predict what will happen, in case of any explosion, Fang Ruitao will lose more than he gains, so he had to stop cultivating his true qi, and collect all the true qi in his body into a corner of the dantian, isolating it from the battle qi.
The cultivation of battle qi is gradual, and if you cultivate too quickly, it is easy to have problems. Fang Ruitao, who had nothing to do, could only lie on the bed, close his eyes and sleep.
The next morning, Fang Ruitao was woken up by Bart very early. After eating some breakfast, Bart walked out of the house with Fang Ruitao. This is the first time Fang Ruitao has seen the whole picture of Lutan Village, where the roads are all compacted dirt roads, and the roads are lined with half-brick and half-earth thatched houses, which look extremely simple, while on the edge of the village, there is a thick brick fence more than two meters high.
Walking on the road, someone greeted Bart from time to time, looking at their pure and knowing smiles, Fang Ruitao could feel the rustic taste of the isolated mountain village. The blacksmith's shop was not far from Baru's house, and they rounded the two alleys and soon heard the clanging of iron.
"Uncle Zhang, I've been busy so early. Bart smiled and walked into the blacksmith shop and greeted an old man with gray hair. Standing beside the fire, wearing a leather apron, the shirtless old man raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, he wiped a handful of sweat, handed the hammer in his hand to the young man next to him, and said: "What kind of wind blew you here, it's not that the iron sword doesn't fit and you plan to come to me to get a good one, or your hands are too heavy, and the iron sword last time was broken." ā
Bart smiled: "I didn't have anything to do, it's just that this brother Fang I newly met was more curious about the blacksmith shop, so I took him to familiarize himself with the environment in the village and came over to have a look." ā
"Oh, this little brother is from outside, but there are very few outsiders in Rutan Village, it's really a rarity. Blacksmith Zhang looked at Fang Ruitao, who walked into the blacksmith shop behind Barth, in surprise, and greeted him.
Fang Ruitao also hurriedly said hello, and then asked, "Uncle Zhang is the blacksmith in the village?" He casually glanced at the blacksmith shop and found that in a stone fire, a large pile of charcoal was burning. Several pieces of iron ore were placed directly in the flames, burning by the blazing flames, which had been burned red, but not yet melted, and on the other side there were two other pieces of iron, apparently forged for some time, also burned red.
Seeing this, Fang Ruitao shook his head secretly, no wonder their smelting skills were so poor, it turned out to be because of fuel. Although the flame produced by charcoal is higher than that of direct incineration of wood, barely reaching the temperature required for iron smelting, after all, the temperature is still a little low, and the natural quality of such furnace temperature forging iron will be poor, and impurities are difficult to remove.
Charcoal is simply burned, and the temperature will not exceed 1,000 degrees, while iron needs 1,500 degrees to melt, so Fang Ruitao was very strange, how they refined iron from iron ore, and the two apprentices of Blacksmith Zhang quickly gave him the answer.
