Chapter 168 ~ Chapter 169 The Casting of the Heirloom Artifact
Three days later, the junction of the four regions of Tianyu Valley, Cuijue Slope, Luhua Pond and Dunyuling.
The huge Flame Cave, inside the cave has gathered an elite Millelith army, and outside the cave, a large number of capable men are constantly patrolling, not daring to let go of any corner.
In the cavern, where the giant fire tree monster used to grow, now there is a huge furnace.
Beneath the furnace, red flame elementals were drawn from the leylines, forming a flame that was extremely hot but firmly suppressed by the seal.
Next to the flames, there were mountains of Mora, which were the catalyst for the later molten ore.
And next to the furnace, a large number of rare ores on the market, high-level elemental materials that ordinary people can't see, and rare treasures that ordinary people can't find, are piled up together, like those ordinary iron ingots in the blacksmith shop.
Outside the core casting area, dozens of people in different costumes were already waiting.
Some of them were from the Liyue Chamber of Commerce, some were from the Liyue Rubik's Cube family, and even more were from the Secret Treasury of the General Affairs Secretary and the Millelith Army.
Don't look at the fact that they usually have some status in their respective forces, but this time they are waiting here early.
Because once the flames under the furnace are released and the casting begins, the place will be completely sealed off, and no one will want to come in unless an immortal comes.
In the crowd, Xingqiu and Chongyun, who followed their respective elders, glanced at each other from a distance, and then looked at Keqing, who was in the camp of the Millelith Army with a serious face.
The friends who played happily together at the banquet three days ago did not expect to meet here.
Chongyun obediently followed the elders,
And Xingqiu suddenly had a premonition, and it was estimated that there would be acquaintances for a while.
Keqing was much more direct, she had no hunch, she already knew that the heirloom weapon cast this time was cast for Wang Daoyi.
Little by little, time passed.
The people of Hanfeng Ironware arrived first, and Master Zhang brought dozens of senior blacksmiths into the core area, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Are you going to start?" Xingqiu looked at the core furnace curiously.
Beside Xingqiu, the young man who was three points similar to him shook his head: "Not yet, these Hanfeng blacksmiths will deal with those minerals first, and then the people from the General Affairs Department will take over the processing of those elemental materials, these two links, it is estimated that it will take two days." ”
Xingqiu raised his head: "Why does my brother know, and since it will take two days, why did we come so early." ”
The young man smiled: "Because of this kind of scene, it's not the first time I've seen it." ”
Reminiscing about the scene of Hanfeng's blacksmith scattering blood in the furnace a few years ago, the young man sighed with some emotion: "In order to forge heirlooms, these people are no different from madmen. ”
"As for why you came so early? Haha, look at it, you'll know in a moment. ”
Xingqiu was a little confused, but he didn't continue to ask, but waited quietly like everyone else.
Soon, another wave of people arrived, and a group of old men, under the protection of the Millelith Regiment, entered the core of the Yan Cave.
Without waiting for Xingqiu to ask a question, the young man introduced Xingqiu: "The people in the secretary of the General Affairs Department, don't look at them all as old men, in fact, each of them is a master-level figure. ”
Xingqiu's eyes shrank, a little shocked: "Master!?" ”
Hanfeng Iron came first, a master, dozens of senior blacksmiths, and they were already very profound, and the General Affairs Department came directly to a group of masters, Xingqiu looked at it, to say that there were more than two dozen of them.
This kind of background can only be said to be worthy of the organization that has helped the Seven Stars rule Liyue for more than a thousand years.
It was the Great Grandmaster who took the lead in the vault, he glanced at Master Zhang on the edge of the furnace, nodded, didn't say anything, and led the vault masters to the side to wait.
This situation made the young man around Xingqiu a little surprised: "Actually, is Master Zhang the master?" It's funny that the old guy from the vault actually gave in. ”
Not only was this young man surprised, but there were also some discussions in other forces.
However, these chatters soon ceased, because the Lord had arrived.
A huge cyan wind eagle hovered above the cavern, and a figure fell from above.
It was Wang Daoyi who rushed in.
Accurately landed on the territory of the Millelith Army, looked around, and actually saw Xingqiu and Chongyun, nodded at them slightly, and then looked at Keqing: "Is it time?" ”
Ke Qing took out a pocket watch from his sleeve and looked at it: "There is still half an hour, when the sun rises in the sky, you can open the furnace." ”
Wang Dao nodded: "Okay, I'll go talk to the Great Grandmaster." ”
Then walk in the direction of the General Affairs Division's territory.
On the other side, Chongyun looked at Wang Daoyi in surprise, he didn't have the premonition of Xingqiu, he really didn't expect to see Wang Daoyi here.
And Xingqiu is really like this, he had a premonition just now, and he will definitely see some acquaintances.
This acquaintance is Wang Daoyi.
And this feeling is not justified by any reason, to make up one, that is, Wang Daoyi's posture when he was in Qingce Zhuang left too deep an impression on Xingqiu, so this kind of big scene, Xingqiu naturally felt that Wang Daoyi would appear.
Not knowing what Xingqiu and Chongyun were thinking, Wang Daoyi walked to the side of the Great Grandmaster: "Great Grandmaster, how are the preparations, there are some omissions." ”
The Great Grandmaster shook his head: "The Han Feng Zhang family has accumulated a lot of experience in the pursuit of casting the heirloom magic weapons for generations, plus the drawings of Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Monarch are very perfect, the people of Han Feng Iron Ware and the Secret Treasury have no problem, and the Fang Shi family has also practiced the smelting array countless times, we have no problem, only you, you need to control such a large amount of rock elements, it will be fine, right?" ”
In the drawings drawn by Liuyun borrowing wind Zhenjun, a large number of precious materials are needed to create the body of the magic weapon, that is, the shape of the magic weapon.
Then use the scroll of the Rootless as the pages of the ritual instrument.
Finally, when the magic weapon is formed, it needs to be filled with a large number of rock elements, laying the foundation for the promotion of the magic weapon to the world.
The first step was completed by the combined efforts of the Hanfeng Iron Tools, the Secret Vault, and the Fang Shi family, and the last step, filling in the massive rock elements, was Wang Daoyi's work.
Nodding: "Don't worry, I won't have a problem." ”
The Grand Master nodded, he believed that the other party would not brag in such a critical place.
Time passed little by little, and finally, Keqing looked at his pocket watch, and then looked up at the sky, the blazing sun was just above the cave, and through the hole above the cave, the sun's rays shone directly into this blazing cave.
"When the time comes, everyone prepares, the Millelith Army, block the cave, and the Fangshi will rise into battle."
With Keqing's order, a large number of Millelith troops surrounded the cave, and in the air around the cave, some airships with the insignia of the Seven Stars were swimming rapidly.
Outside of the Millelith Army, a large number of elite forces from Liyue's major forces have gathered, and the junction that leads to this place will be surrounded by layers of hillsides.
In the cave, dozens of white-haired and child-faced old men wore cloth robes and sandals, tied yellow silk and double tassels around their waists, and held ink-black long swords, listing formations.
"Edict, array."
These are the patriarchs of the Fangshi family, they don't need those cumbersome mantras, just an edict, a huge light curtain rises, enveloping the entire cave, and now, even a mosquito doesn't want to fly in.
Xingqiu knew why he came so early, because if he was late, he would definitely not be able to enter when this light curtain rose.
The other side
At the core of the cave, Master Zhang slapped the furnace and shouted, "Fangshi, light the fire." ”
As soon as the formation of the Fang Shi changed, a mysterious small formation was formed at the top of the huge light curtain, and the surrounding sunlight was attracted, and in an instant, the entire area felt dim.
In the next second, a point of light that was extremely bright appeared on the flame seal under the furnace, burning through the seal, and then detonating the fire of the leylines sealed in it.
Feeling the rapidly rising temperature around him, Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction and continued to shout: "Han Feng, add ingredients." ”
Dozens of blacksmiths were naked, half of their hands were divided, and the precious ores placed on the side were continuously thrown into the huge furnace.
Upon closer inspection, the surrounding people saw that the blacksmiths seemed to be working as coolies, but in fact there seemed to be a set of rules on the type and amount of ore that was thrown into the furnace each time.
Wang Daoyi nodded secretly, these Hanfeng blacksmiths are really elites, and every move is very in line with the casting rules required by Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Monarch in the drawings.
The addition did not last long, or rather, there was too much ore material prepared on the side, and only a tenth of the ore was enough to fill the furnace.
"Fang Shi closed the furnace!" Master Zhang continued to order: "Han Feng, shake the furnace." ”
The Fangshi formation swung their swords in unison, the huge furnace was closed, and the more than a dozen cold blade blacksmiths who had originally stayed next to the furnace stared at each other, making a classic impact action, and in the shocked eyes of some onlookers, they slammed into the furnace in the center.
Flesh collides with the blazing furnace, making a "bang" sound.
On the other side, Master Zhang and some of the monks who maintained the formation turned pale violently, and then quickly recovered under the effect of a certain aura.
Chongyun's eyes lit up: "This is, the method of breath collusion?" ”
Chongyun's words made the old Fang Shi beside him nod with satisfaction, this generation of young people still has some vision, this pure yang body can become a great weapon in the future.
Through the formation that envelops the flame cave, the breath of the blacksmiths is hooked and all non-fatal damage is evenly distributed.
It seems that it is very dangerous for the blacksmiths to hit the furnace with their bodies, but in fact, it is the formation that bears the feedback of the furnace, then Master Zhang, who is the core of the formation, and finally the blacksmiths who are slightly burned.
On the other side, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but nod. He had seen the Millelith Army and the Millelith Regiment use similar aura to hook up battle formations.
And this is the first time that the aura is colluded through the Fang Shi formation.
"No wonder the Great Grandmaster is so confident, under this kind of aura collusion formation, as long as Master Zhang, who is the center of the formation, can hold on, then these blacksmiths can keep crashing."
As for how strong Master Zhang's body is as a master blacksmith, Wang Daoyi does not make an evaluation.
Moreover, looking at the recovery speed of Fang Shi and Master Zhang just now, this formation obviously has the function of recovering injuries and stabilizing breath.
In the shocked eyes of some who did not know the truth, the blacksmiths of the cold blade slammed into the huge furnace again and again.
Ten times, a hundred times, until there was no more smoke coming out of the great furnace.
Master Zhang's eyes lit up: "Han Feng, stop, Fangshi, open the furnace and take the materials, the secret warehouse, and prepare the silk thread." ”
Under Master Zhang's order, the Hanfeng blacksmith stopped suddenly, and then quickly retreated, and suddenly stayed more than ten meters away from the furnace.
In the formation of the alchemists, four alchemists walked out, holding inky black swords, and the four of them surrounded the huge furnace.
"Edict, open!"
The formation was running, and the inexplicable force acted on the huge furnace, and the originally closed furnace mouth vibrated slightly, and the furnace mouth was opened.
The incandescent light gushed out of the furnace with high temperature, stinging everyone's eyes.
In the camp of the Chamber of Commerce, the young man reminded: "It's coming, pay attention." ”
Xingqiu's spirit was shocked, and he looked at the furnace with wide eyes.
Under the control of the alchemist, a solution the size of an egg was removed, and esoteric fluctuations emanated from it, and faintly indistinguishable runes continued to appear and disappear.
Before Xingqiu could see it clearly, the solution was controlled and sent to a master who had come out of the secret vault camp.
The master's dry hand grasped the red-hot solution, as if he could not feel the temperature at all.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, the master stretched out his other hand, kissed a little bit of the solution, and then gently tugged.
A strand of silk thread so tiny that it is invisible is pulled out of the solution by the master.
Xingqiu's eyes widened, he couldn't even imagine this kind of scene.
Looking at his brother beside him, he needed an answer.
The young man was equally amazed: "This skill, no matter how many times you see it, makes people unbelievable." ”
Then he looked at Xingqiu and answered for him: "I haven't seen this master either, but he uses a technique called wire drawing, which is generally used in glazed products, and some gold and silver jewelry will also be used, using glazed solutions or metal solutions to pull out fine silk threads for handmade products." ”
"This kind of craft is generally learned by jewelry craftsmen, and this master is estimated to be a master-level jewelry craftsman."
There are two types of jewellers in the youth's mouth, the one in the front, which refers to the jewelers in the Liyue Market, and the one in the back, who is a true master craftsman with the ability to make legendary equipment.
Then with a slight sigh: "Another master jewelry craftsman I have never seen, heh, the secret vault is the secret vault, it can really be hidden." ”
Finally, looking at Xingqiu's eyes that seemed to understand whether he understood or not, the young man shook his head helplessly: "If you look less at Zhiwei and more at the report of the Chamber of Commerce, you will know how rare craftsmen of this level are." Anyway, did you see anything just now? ”
After being taught a lesson by his brother, Xingqiu shook his head a little embarrassedly: "I feel that I saw some runes, but I didn't remember anything." ”
The young man nodded, with some regret in his eyes: "Those are not ordinary runes, they are the laws that belong to the heirloom magic weapon, if you write it down just now, then it will be of great benefit to enter a higher level in the future, which is why we have paid such a big price and have to participate in obtaining the seat." ”
Don't look at them, there are only two people from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and the price they paid, there are many materials on the ground in the center that are from them.
On the other side, the old Fang Shi beside Chongyun also looked at Chongyun and asked the same question as the young man: "Have you ever written down anything?" ”
Chongyun frowned, stretched out his hand, and a strange rune appeared, and then collapsed instantly: "Sun Er is stupid, he only wrote down a few shapes, and he didn't understand it." ”
Facing Chongyun's guilt, the old man's eyes were full of joy: "Good, good, good, keep looking, if you can improve this pattern of legal principles, then there will be great benefits in the future." ”
Like the young and old alchemists, there are also many elders in other camps who ask the juniors if they have gained something.
It's just that most of them have seen it, but they can't remember it, like a heavy cloud, and there are very few who can write down some 'shapes'.
On the other side, the jeweler of the secret vault moved more and more quickly, a trace of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, the solution in his hand became smaller and smaller, and the filaments around him were suspended in the air, getting longer and longer.
At the core, the furnace was filled again, and the Blacksmith began to ramble again.
It's just that the blacksmith who hit just now went to load the ore, and the blacksmith who loaded the ore just now came to strike, and they were in shifts.
Only Master Zhang had been standing by the furnace, enduring the extreme heat, staring at the furnace tightly, for fear of missing the time.
The Blacksmith of the Frost Blade kept hitting the furnace according to certain rhythms, making a crashing sound.
Not far away, a monk was suspended in the air controlling a wire of metal that had been pulled by the master jeweler so that it was imperceptible to the naked eye.
Master Zhang glanced at it and gestured towards the vault camp.
In the vault camp, the Grand Master nodded to a female craftsman.
The female master got up, walked out of the camp, and came to the field, and the Fang Shi who controlled the wire thread also immediately controlled the silk thread to float in front of the opponent.
This kind of action immediately attracted everyone in the observation seat.
"Oh, this is a master of weaving, remember the gold silk armor at home, it is the work of this master." The young man introduced Xingqiu.
"The golden silk armor that cost millions of Mora to buy?" Xingqiu was shocked that such a precious golden silk armor was actually made by this ordinary old woman.
With a smile in his eyes, the master weaver stretched out his hand and gently pinched the end of the wire, for her, this level of weaving thread had never been experienced before, and it was worth her full effort.
In the camp of the Chamber of Commerce, the young man's eyes were cold: "It's empty-handed again, you don't need any props, heh, is it a warning to us, or is it showing off your technical reserves?" ”
Not only the young people, but also some of the older people in the other observation seats all let out a cold snort, which made the young people on the side inexplicable.
The female weaver's hands kept flipping, and the tiny silk threads that were invisible to the naked eye were easily grasped by her, and then a thin cloth woven from metal threads appeared little by little.
Wang Daoyi looked at it with interest, he naturally knew what the other party was doing, this is the skin of the magic book, which is what everyone usually calls the book cover.
It is a component of his future 'specialization'.
On this component, thousands of inscriptions exist, which can be combined with each other to form different runes or even immortal seals.
And now, Wang Daoyi saw this female weaving master, under the terrifying operation of her hands, while the silk threads were woven into a thin cloth, one by one inscriptions were also formed on it.
"I can't even understand this skill!!" Wang Daoyi was shocked, although the previous master of drawing wire was also magical, but Wang Daoyi could still do it, he himself had extremely powerful control.
However, what this master weaver did, Wang Daoyi couldn't even understand why the corresponding inscription appeared on the wire cloth after the other party did the weaving.
It was not only Wang Daoyi who was shocked, but also looked at the weaving master with a little eyesight, and it was not only Wang Daoyi who couldn't understand it, basically no one could see how the weaving master did it.
Only the Great Grandmaster, watching the movements of the weaving master, nodded secretly with satisfaction.
He can read the other person's movements, and even, he can do this kind of thing.
"Liuyun borrowed the weaving technique taught by Feng Zhenjun, how can you understand it."
This is the technique that the Great Grandmaster obtained by seeking immortals when he was young.
This technique comes from immortals, so there is a situation where even Wang Daoyi can't understand it.
Of course, if Wang Daoyi studies the Five Manifest Methods more deeply, you will find that this means of creating inscriptions out of nothing, is one of the Five Manifest Methods, and is an extension of a way of use.
Received feedback, so the Martial Arts Casting chapter was merged
