"That's good! Master Yang, we will go back now and tell the city lord the good news, if it is really successful, I believe that Master Yang will definitely be able to win the favor of the city lord. At that time, I hope that Master Yang can help him more in the future. ”

This sergeant can be regarded as having read countless people, from Yang Ning's demeanor, he saw a confident expression, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and pulled Yang Ning to report the good news to the city lord.

"By the way, my name is Wang Yangming, I am the captain of the city lord's personal guard, and I still have some connections in Nanyuan Town. In addition to the city lord, the three commanders of Nanyuan Town will give me some face, if Master Yang needs his brother's help in the future, just ask, brother should do his best to help you solve it. ”

Approaching the door of the warehouse, Wang Yangming seemed to remember something, and did not forget to establish a good relationship with Yang Ning in advance.

"Lord Wang's words made Yang Ning panic, I'm just a little blacksmith, how dare I say that I am carrying you. However, if you can gain the trust of the castle lord, the villain will definitely not forget the adult. In the future, if you really need to go to the place where Lord Wang helps, please ask Lord Wang to help. ”

Taken aback by the words of the city lord's personal guard commander, Yang Ning hurriedly bowed to him with his fists, and responded with some trepidation.

"Hahaha...... What Lord Wang, Master Yang's name is too rusty, you can just change your name to Brother Wang in the future. ”

Wang Yangming laughed, intercepted Yang Ning's words, and began to call him a brother.

"Don't dare! Lord Wang...... Uh, Brother Wang. ”

Before he fell, his father who followed him also came into contact with some generals who were soldiers, and knew that some of the words of these people were just words, and they could not be taken seriously. Just wanted to be euphemistic, but seeing Wang Yangming's serious face, Yang Ning didn't dare to continue, and hurriedly changed his name.

"Haha..... That's right, you will call me Brother Wang in the future. Now let's hurry up and reply to the city lord, it's a matter of getting down to business. ”

Seeing Yang Ning change his name to Brother Wang, Wang Yangming showed a bright smile on his face, locked the door with a bang, and pulled Yang Ning to run towards the city lord's office hall.

"Report! Lord of the Castle! According to Master Yang's appraisal, he was able to forge these minerals. ”

When he walked to the door of the office hall, Wang Yangming loudly reported to the office as if he was inviting merit.

"Master Yang, are you sure you can forge these ores?"

Hearing Wang Yangming's report, the city lord put down the brush that was reviewing the documents, looked up at Yang Ning, and asked Yang Ning with some surprise and some surprised questions.

He can't be blamed for this, almost all the famous blacksmiths in Nanyuan Town have been invited by him, but none of them can refine these ores. Originally, I thought that these minerals that cost a lot of manpower and material resources would be idle and useless. Unexpectedly, Yang Ning brought him hope again.

"Well, my lord, I don't dare to say that I will be able to successfully forge them, these minerals are too special, but I still have some confidence that they can be refined."

In front of the city lord, Yang Ning didn't dare to say that the guarantee was successful.

"Good! Just be sure. As long as you can refine these ores, I will definitely not treat you badly! Starting tomorrow, you will come to my City Lord's Mansion to refine. I'll send someone else to inform you of the blacksmith's shop, so you don't have to pay attention to it. ”

In just two sentences, Yang Ning's place of work has changed.

Early the next morning, Yang Ning came to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord had already arranged for personnel to lead him to the City Lord's Mansion's forging site, which was not far from the treasury.

There was only one furnace there, a forging table, everything was brand new, and the whole place seemed to be built improvised, not like it had been used all the time, Yang Ning hurriedly looked at it, and found that the heated charcoal was a high-grade charcoal fire.

"Master Yang, you are here, my name is Sun Jiang, I am the guy who lit the fire for you, is it possible to open the furnace now?"

The forging field was very open, and behind the forging platform, a young man with a handful of charcoal in his hand popped out of his head, and greeted Yang Ning a little nervously and asked.

"Uh, yes. Hehe...... Looks like you're ready, and it seems like you're eager to forge these strange ores. Then we'll open the furnace! ”

Yang Ning smiled, without hypocrisy, and ordered this guy named Sun Jiang to open the stove and light the fire.

"Okay, hehe......"

The fist-sized strange mineral material is very resistant to burning, and it takes half an hour for the fire to slowly turn red. After another quarter of an hour, the whole block of ore turned red. The heat of the stove made Yang Ning's face a little red.

At this time, Yang Ning picked up the ore and put it on the forging table, and lifted the hammer in his hand and swung it vigorously at this piece of reddish strange metal.

"Bang!"

"Huh? What's going on here? ”

With a hammer, the reddish ore was broken into four or five pieces, which Yang Ning had never encountered in his years of iron-making career: high-temperature resistant and fragile.

In fact, the power of this hammer has been controlled, and according to his usual experience, it is about 150 catties at most, even if the ordinary iron block is only slightly deformed at most. However, this piece of ore was directly shattered, which looked a little abnormal and very strange.

However, the situation aroused his keen interest. In the second hammer, he controlled the reduction of the force to about 100 catties, and hammered it again on a large piece of mineral material about the size of a walnut.

"Bang"

This piece also cracked to form two pieces. However, this time the rain was slightly different, and there was obviously a shallow circular hammer mark on the two small pieces of ore that were cracked.

"Why did it crack again? Is it the power or is it too much? Hey, there's an imprint. It seems that this mineral material requires less strength to temper, and it also needs to be forged with soft strength. Okay, try again! ”

It seems that he has seen some methods, and Yang Ning constantly adjusts the power of the thrashing to try. After more than 10 experiments, it gradually seemed to have found a feeling. When the hammering force is less than 50 catties, and the soft forging is used, the mineral material is no longer broken, and the shape can gradually change.

"No, this kind of beating can only slightly deform the mineral material that burns red, and it can't effectively change its shape. After using the right force, you have to find a way to use the soft vibration of the mineral material, in order to change the shape of the mineral according to the intention of the mind, how to match it perfectly? ”

While Yang Ning was refining the ore, he was constantly thinking about the appropriate method in his mind. Unconsciously, his mind was fully integrated into the tempering. In his eyes, there was only the reddish mineral material in front of him, and this mineral material gradually enlarged, like a grinding disc, and the texture in the mineral material was clearly reflected in his eyes. Everything else was blocked out by him, and he inadvertently entered a realm of unity between heaven and man.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The hammer in his hand kept falling, and all of them struck between the two textures. The fragmented ore was re-hammered into a piece, gradually decreasing in size, and the impurities in the ore were tempered out little by little, and the fist-sized ore was finally beaten to the size of a duck's egg, emitting a psychedelic silver light.

It was in this wonderful state that the lump in the dantian had a hair-thick earthy yellow air flow emanating from it, wandering among the meridians of Yang Ning's hands, and inadvertently, penetrating the meridians of Yang Ning's hands.

"Master Yang! Master Yang! The ore has become smaller and cooled, so it needs to be reheated! ”

The rapid call of Sun Jiang, the guy in charge of the fire, woke up the drunken Yang Ning and interrupted his wonderful connection.

"Uh, uh, let me see it first."

Yang Ning, who woke up, had his eyes wandering, and he hadn't woken up from the wonderful state just now. He calmed down a little and replied casually.

Reaching out and gently picking up the silvery-white metal that had been cooled and tempered by him. Although the volume has shrunk, the moment you start it, you feel that the weight is more than one-third heavier than before the tempering, about four taels.
