"Well, interesting. After the impurities are quenched, the density increases, and the weight is a little heavier than before the quenching, and the hardness seems to be higher. However, this amount is barely enough to forge a dagger, and if you want to forge a long sword, it is estimated that you need three equal parts of mineral materials to fuse together. ”

"Hmm. Since this is the case, let's refine a few more pieces, and try forging a long sword first. ”

Holding it in his hand and feeling it slightly, Yang Ning could roughly judge the basic situation.

"Eh, Sun Jiang, this piece of mineral material has been refined, there is no need to continue, let's prepare the next piece."

According to Yang Ning's own judgment, the piece of mineral material in his hand has been refined, and there is no need to continue to purify, and he instructed Sun Jiang to prepare to refine the second piece of mineral material.

"Master Yang, you are so powerful, you are really able to refine this strange mineral material."

He was a full-time fire-burning guy called by the City Lord's Mansion, and during this time, he witnessed the fact that many blacksmiths in Nanyuan Town tried their best to refine this mineral material and failed, and none of them succeeded. Now seeing that Yang Ning had successfully refined the furnace for the first time, he looked at Yang Ning's eyes full of admiration, and after hearing Yang Ning's instructions, he excitedly picked up the second piece of mineral material and threw it into the furnace, and vigorously encouraged the bellows next to him.

"Whew, whew, whew......"

The furnace rose with a scorching orange flame, and the strange mineral with a dreamlike starlight gradually turned red. Inside the mineral, there seems to be an agate-like lustrous flow.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

A very rhythmic beating sound sounded in this part of the City Lord's Mansion, and the reddish ore material continued to change shape with the hammer beating, and its volume gradually decreased.

In one morning, Yang Ning refined four of these ores.

After lunch, Yang Ning and Sun Jiang began to get busy again. However, this time instead of refining new ores, Yang Ning planned to smelt these four pieces of minerals first and try to forge a weapon.

Having mastered the knack of refining this strange mineral, he smelted these four pieces of ore together without encountering any obstacles, and gradually formed the shape of a long sword after repeated beatings.

The embryo was rough, and after four or five times of heating and tempering, and after quenching the water, a silver sword appeared in front of him. The sword was thin, smooth, with a cold silver light oozing out, the sword was only a finger and a half wide, and there was no sword spine; The hilt of the sword is slightly curved, just enough to be grasped in one hand; It is two feet nine inches long.

Raising his hand and picking up the sword in front of him, the blade was even sharper, inadvertently slashing across the forging platform made of fine iron, drawing a clear sword mark, Yang Ning's pupils contracted suddenly, this sword can also cut gold and break jade!

Holding the sword in his hand, Yang Ning felt that there was only one word: light!

The long sword was very light, only one pound and two taels, and with a slight wave, the space in front of him crossed a cold rainbow light, and the long sword shook and was accompanied by a slight dragon roar.

The news of forging weapons with strange minerals soon reached the ears of the city lord. After getting this news, Yang Ning was immediately brought to the city lord.

"Good! Good! Good! Hahaha...... Master Yang really didn't disappoint me, and really forged a divine blade. Good! Good! Good! As I said, as long as you, Master Yang, can refine and forge this strange mineral, you will definitely be rewarded. Come! Go to the treasury and take 10,000 gold coins and give it to Master Yang as a reward. ”

"By the way, Master Yang, look at the minerals in my warehouse, if all of them are made into weapons, how many can be made?"

Finally able to use these strange minerals to create weapons, the city lord narrowed his eyes happily, and opened his mouth to give Yang Ning a heavy reward of 10,000 gold coins.

"Thank you, Lord of the City! I don't know what kind of weapon you want to build? In the case of such swords, it is estimated that 250 to 280 can be crafted. If you want to make it like a normal saber, you will need a little more materials, and you should be able to make about 100 to 120 swords. ”

10,000 gold coins, in Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop, it is estimated that he will not dare to guarantee whether he can earn it in his lifetime, and Yang Ning's face suddenly turned red with excitement. As for how many weapons could be made from the stock of mineral materials in the warehouse, he groaned for a while before cautiously telling the city lord his judgment.

"At least a hundred swords, that means that I can arm a hundred powerful soldiers in the realm of strength and mortal realm, and with this power, even my superior lord is not as strong as my strength, haha......

Hearing Yang Ning's estimation, tired of thinking of the power of soldiers and horses that he could control in his hands, the city lord's heart was hot.

"Good! From today on, you, Master Yang Ning Yang, will be the chief forging master of my City Lord's Mansion, and you will make all those strange minerals into war knives for me, and receive a salary of ten gold coins every month. In the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, I will have someone arrange a separate courtyard for you to live in, and you can bring all the relatives in the family to settle in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Also, in recognition of your merits and contributions to the City Lord's Mansion, I can ask you to make a request from me. Say, what reward do you want? ”

Holding the long sword forged by Yang Ning in his hand, his palm gently stroked the cold sword body, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a sword, but a treasure. The city lord was in an unusually good mood, and promised several heavy rewards at once.

"Thank you, Lord Castle, for the reward! In the past two days, I went home and cleaned up and moved in. Regarding the request that the lord of the castle said I could make, the villain dared to mention one, can I take a look at the castle lord's collection of books, I want to learn more about forging, do you think it's okay? ”

For the city lord's rich reward, Yang Ning felt a burst of excitement. When he heard that he could still make a request, his eyes sparkled even more.

"Ahaha...... You really impress me, others get a request from me, they all want to break their heads and want to get more wealth, but you are the first to ask for knowledge, good! I have agreed to your request, and the collection of books in the City Lord's Mansion is free for you to view at will, and there is no time limit. ”

Because he was in a happy mood, the city lord agreed to Yang Ning's request in one bite.

In the evening of the same day, Yang Ning returned home. With his family's business, he doesn't have to clean up at all, just two packages to pack up all the valuable things in the house.

Early the next morning, Yang Ning nagged Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop, said goodbye to him, thanked him for his care over the years, and the two inevitably exchanged pleasantries.

Yang Ning's departure had the most impact on Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop. However, as soon as this was the decision of the city lord, Zhang Zheng did not dare to object; Second, I am also pleased that Yang Ning has a better development.

In this way, Yang Ning's father and son moved into the City Lord's Mansion. During the day, Yang Ning forged weapons, and when he went home at night, he secretly taught Yang An to cultivate the Mixed Yuan Swallowing Spirit Technique. Although this set of exercises is not as easy to absorb the aura contained in the mineral materials as the soil lumps in his dantian as a medium, it can also be cultivated normally.

In this way, unconsciously, Yang Ning and his son have been living in the City Lord's Mansion for half a year. During these days, the meridians of his two arms were all connected so inadvertently. Yang An didn't have the help of strange things like soil lumps, and he hadn't produced a trace of spiritual power, but his body had become a lot stronger, and his arms also had fifty or sixty catties of strength.

After becoming the chief forging master of the City Lord's Mansion, he was able to forge a treasure knife almost every two or three days, and these treasure knives were successively rewarded by the city lord to the most loyal personal guards.

The sword was gorgeous and sharp, and the guards who were rewarded with the sword did not hesitate to use it, making those who did not receive the sword envious. More and more guards get these treasure knives, these guards have become Yang Ning's living signboard, and they boast to people when they meet people, and in just half a year, Yang Ning has become a famous forger known to almost everyone in Nanyuan Town.

The warriors in Nanyuan Town, who had a way, tried their best to get acquainted with Yang Ning and asked him to help forge a divine weapon. Even those young girls who are not married are looking for matchmakers everywhere, looking for opportunities to go to matchmakers, so that they can be married to Yang Ning.
