Chapter 157: Don't cry, I'll compensate you
"It's a long story. What is this brother's name?" Mu Heng asked.
"In Xia Yucheng, I have seen the shepherd!" The Demon Sect disciple replied.
"I'm glad I will. In fact, the loss of this extraterrestrial meteorite was not caused by Yuqing Xingzhai." Mu Heng didn't want them to continue to misunderstand, so he planned to tell the truth.
"Oh? How does the shepherd know? Does Childe know the whereabouts of this meteorite?"
"I'm ashamed to say that this meteorite was refined into aura and used to improve my cultivation." Mu Heng bowed his hand and made a full gesture.
"What? Did you use this piece of meteoric iron?" I can't believe that you are poor, a huge piece of meteorite iron was consumed by Mu Heng like this. If you look closely at Mu Heng's realm, it will also be ten orders in the Ten Directions Realm. Those who have already accepted the crying are afraid that you are poor, and there is a tendency to shed tears.
"Brother Xian, such a big piece of meteorite will help you break through to the tenth order of the Ten Directions Realm?" I can't believe that such a precious meteorite has not even broken through a big realm here in Mu Heng, it is simply a tyrannical thing.
"The junior brother's qualifications are too poor, and the use of golden aura is pitiful, and after consuming this whole piece of meteoric iron, he can only reach the tenth order of the Ten Directions Realm." Mu Heng explained weakly.
"Brother Xian, how can you be like this, even if you want to improve your realm, you don't have to use this meteoric iron!" I think you're poor and a little angry and replied.
"I made him use it." Liu Qingshu's voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Mu Heng looked at the sky with everyone's eyes, and Liu Qingshu, dressed in a dark robe, fell from the sky against the backdrop of the night, like an elf.
"My subordinates have seen the sect master!" Everyone noticed Liu Qingshu's arrival and hurriedly saluted.
"Sect Master, how can you use up the meteorite iron so lightly, what can I do with my sect's immortal sword refining in the future?" I think you are poor at this time and really understand what it means to prevent day and night, and it is difficult to prevent thieves.
This thief is still his own sect master, I really can't imagine it.
"Are you blaming me?" Liu Qingshu, as the head of a sect, how can he ask you like this, and everyone is silent when his voice is fierce.
Mu Heng looked at Liu Qingshu in a daze, he didn't expect her to be like this as the sect master.
And for a while, I thought you were poor and broke out in a cold sweat, regretted talking nonsense, and hurriedly replied, "My subordinates don't dare. It's just that without this Celestial Meteorite, my Demon Cloud Sect will no longer be able to refine high-quality immortal swords during this time."
"It's just a blank period, and I'll have to look for it later." Liu Qingshu replied indifferently.
"Extraterrestrial meteorites can be encountered but not sought, where is it so easy to find." I don't seem to notice that you are talking to the sect master at this time, and the resentment in your words is still coming out.
Mu Heng was also surprised by your poor accountability, and he was even more ashamed in his heart. Looking at his state of being unable to care about his identity, he knew that the status of meteorite in his heart was not light.
"Brother Xian, even if you leave a little meteorite iron for me, why is it all used up! It's time to find the next piece of extraterrestrial meteorite, and I don't know when it will take. Hey!" At this time, I also noticed that my attitude towards the sect master was a little too casual, and I could only sprinkle the resentment in my heart on the culprit Mu Heng.
Mu Heng, who knew that he was at a loss, didn't know what to say, after all, he used up other people's treasures.
"Poor big brother, or I'll pay you some meteorite?" Mu Heng replied with a little hesitation.
"Compensation me?" I don't care about Mu Heng's persuasion because you are poor, just as he is expressing his apologies. Then he turned his worries into joy, and the color of surprise jumped on his face, and he hurriedly grabbed Mu Heng's arm and asked, "Does Brother Xian know where there is an undiscovered extraterrestrial meteorite?"
"Not really!" Mu Heng denied.
Hearing Mu Heng's answer, he thought you were poor and disappointed, so he glanced at Liu Qingshu and expressed his dissatisfaction deeply.
Looking at the person who directly scolded his own leader for being poor, Mu Heng also found it interesting, although you are a little embarrassed by your poor character, you should not be a person who likes to make trouble behind your back. couldn't bear to let him continue to be sad, Mu Heng thought about it and said, "Although the Extraterrestrial Meteorite is rare, it doesn't have to be obtained from the Extraterrestrial Meteorite!"
Mu Heng saw through the essence of this extraterrestrial meteorite that was actually iron
Elemental matter is a substance produced by the reduction of iron oxides by the high temperature generated by the friction of meteorites containing iron ore against the atmosphere, and it is not difficult to replicate this operation in reality.
"Oh? What do you think?" I thought you were poor and saw Mu Heng so solemn, so he was a little concerned and asked.
"This kind of meteorite can also be artificially refined, if the poor big brother wants it, the younger brother can help the poor big brother refine a little." Mu Heng replied as a matter of course.
"Ironmaking?" I think you are poor and Liu Qingshu asked in unison.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Mu Heng's words seemed to suddenly cause a commotion among the disciples.
"Don't laugh at the shepherd, this extraterrestrial meteorite is a treasure created by the heavens, especially what can be made by man!" Yu Cheng's small eyes stared at Mu Heng, looking at his appearance, but he didn't expect that he was also a vain person, and he dared to say such a big thing.
"That's it, the shepherd boy just used meteoric iron, and he doesn't need such jokes to deceive us." Everyone looked at this low-level messy Mu Heng, and seriously doubted whether he was bragging.
This extraterrestrial meteorite that is sought after by various sects, what kind of thing can be refined by people? Hey, don't say it, it's a question of whether anyone believes it, and whether anyone dares to think about it.
"yes, isn't there a way to make iron in this era?" Mu Heng listened to the gossip and didn't care, and then asked rhetorically. In his understanding, since the development of copper smelting to a certain extent, human beings should have the ability to smelt iron if they can master higher temperatures of fire.
"Ironmaking?" Liu Qingshu and you looked at Mu Heng in unison, the two of them who had never heard of this word, as if they had discovered a new world, their eyes contained expectation.
"Haven't you heard?" Mu Heng looked at the reactions of the two of them, and guessed that this era had indeed not yet reached the Iron Age.
"Nope." Liu Qingshu shook his head at the same time as he thought you were poor.
When the many Demon Sect disciples next to them heard Mu Heng's words, they all felt that the other party was boasting about Haikou, and they didn't think so.
"You should know about copper smelting, right?" The metal utensils in Mu Heng's belongings are also made of copper, and they should be no strangers to copper smelting.
"Copper smelting is not unusual, my human ancestors discovered the art of alchemy thousands of years ago, and now even the mortal world can easily refine copper from minerals." Yu Cheng saw that Mu Heng didn't seem to be talking exaggeratedly, and cooperated with Mu Heng's question.
"What is the connection between the iron smelting that the virtuous brother spoke of and the smelting of copper?" I thought you were poor as if you had captured the meaning of Mu Heng's words, and asked.
"In fact, it is similar to copper smelting, this kind of iron meteorite is a metallic iron element, and it can also be artificially smelted." Mu Heng did not hide it, and told them bluntly that iron can also be refined.
"Really?" Liu Qingshu seemed to be looking at a treasure, and his hot eyes were like the summer sun. "How can there be a fake?" Mu Heng replied categorically, this iron-making involves his old profession as a science student, and he does not allow others to doubt it.
Liu Qingshu received Mu Heng's affirmative answer, and a happy smile faintly flashed on his face. Thinking about Mu Heng in front of him, but he can summon heavenly thunder, can refine Taiyin true water, and has more ability to smelt iron, it doesn't seem to be an accident.
"If the virtuous brother can really refine iron, there will be no shortage of materials for the future immortal sword refining of my Demon Cloud Sect." All of a sudden, the peak turned around, and you took a step forward, holding Mu Heng's hands tightly, as enthusiastic as a reception leader.
"Well said, well said." Mu Heng noticed Liu Qingshu's smile out of the corner of his eyes, and he was also very happy in his heart. has always benefited from her, and now it is rare to find a way to repay her, so naturally spare no effort.
"Whatever the virtuous brother wants, even if he says it, he must help the virtuous brother prepare even if he is risking his life." The enthusiasm for thinking that you are poor is far more than that of Liu Qingshu, and I think this is also the reason why I feel that I am angry that you are poor.
The middle-aged man in front of him must also be a "science student" who is obsessed with refining weapons, in addition to liking to cry and cry, he has a bit of a taste of being able to sympathize with himself.
"No, no, the poor brother is serious." Mu Heng looked at his posture and vowed not to give up if he didn't smelt the iron.
"The best raw material for iron making is hematite." Mu Heng followed up and said that hematite is actually rich in iron oxide
Because iron oxide is red, the ore is also red.
"Hematite?" I think you are puzzled when you hear this, these three words sound very easy to understand, but you don't know what Mu Heng said when you connect them.
But Liu Qingshu was very calm. In terms of cultivation, Mu Heng really has no talent, and he is all driven forward, and when it comes to learning about things, Mu Heng has never disappointed her.
Along the way, she has seen Mu Heng's attempts in Gewu, and she has not tasted failure, so she is full of confidence in Mu Heng's ability to smelt iron.
"Hematite is not hard to find, just look for the red soil." Mu Heng introduced that most of the iron-rich oxides suddenly appear reddish, which is not uncommon on land.
"Crimson soil?" He has seen a lot of yellow and black soil, but he has never heard of red soil.
"I know, I know." An exclamation was heard from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.
"Who knows? Come to the front!" I thought you were poor, and there was really red soil, so I hurriedly beckoned someone who knew to come forward.
"Disciple Ningwa, I have seen the sect master, the helmsman, and the shepherd!" A young disciple with an unassuming appearance walked through the crowd and walked forward dancing.
"Well, where is the red earth?" Disgusted that you were poor, he immediately pulled Ningwa's collar and asked.
"I once saw a red mountain six hundred miles north of Taizhou, and the whole mountain was red, presumably it was the hematite in the mouth of the shepherd." Nimma described the red mountain in detail and made the surroundings clear.
"You can't be wrong." When Mu Heng saw his description, he thought that it should be the same.
"Great, Ningwa, you and Yu Cheng take ten of your children here and get more hematite back. Forget it, I'll go by myself, and you will follow Ningwa." I thought you couldn't wait, as if you couldn't wait, and personally beckoned Ningwa to fetch iron ore.
Mu Heng was frightened by his eager speed, and said in a low voice, "Poor big brother doesn't have to be like this, this iron smelting is not a very difficult thing, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
