Chapter 16: The Iron Boy
As soon as he reached the gate, he heard a rhythmic sound of striking iron reaching his ears.
The whole shop is made of a black mountain stone, and the three words Wanlian Fang are hung on the door, and a sharp aura comes to the face, and Ye Bai walks in with a smile on his face.
A tall man in his twenties with a slightly chubby figure stood at the front desk and immediately stepped forward to greet someone when he saw him come in.
"Hello, my name is Ye Bai, I'm looking for Teacher Zhao Cheng, is he there?" Ye Bai saw the man step forward and asked directly before he could speak.
"Yes, yes! You are the little junior brother Ye Bai that the master said! Yesterday, I heard the master talk about you, I am your third senior brother Feng Ying, you will find me if there is anything in the future. ”
Feng Ying's enthusiasm and honesty made him trance, after all, this was the first time he had met the friendliness of his peers, but he liked it a lot.
"Hello, Third Senior Brother."
Ye Bai's response made him even happier, and he walked to the back hall and took him to the teacher.
"I am the youngest of the brothers, the master used to call me the junior, and I will be the third when you come."
Feng Ying talked to him about some interesting anecdotes, and Ye Bai listened quietly, occasionally replying.
The two chatted casually on the road, and as the sound of striking iron got closer and closer, they also came to the backyard.
The whole backyard is unexpectedly wide, covering an area of several hundred square meters, the ground is paved with white mountain stones, there are refining furnaces on the left and right, and there is a large red refining furnace in the central area, which is burning with red fire at this time, even if the distance is relatively far away, Ye Bai can still feel the burning feeling.
At this time, Zhao Cheng and a tall and thin young man were watching a big man build weapons, constantly tempering the dragon pattern steel that had just been taken out of the furnace, and after the fire in the furnace, the dragon pattern steel gradually became malleable.
Dahan kept adding accessories in the middle. The dragon pattern steel is exposed to the air, and the high temperature makes the surrounding air hot, and a traditional dragon pattern sword slowly takes shape, and finally quenched with extremely cold ice spirit water, this operation has to be carried out back and forth nine times, and the last time it is tempered, and the weapon is finally formed. It is known as the Nine Spirit Forging Method.
Of course, if there is a crack in the process, the weapon is useless.
Laugh at~
With the contact between the two heavens of ice and fire, bursts of smoke rose, this was already his ninth quenching, and Dahan picked up the dragon pattern sword that had been formed and handed it to Zhao Cheng.
The tall and thin young man on the left took the weapon in advance and watched it with Zhao Cheng.
After watching it for a while, Zhao Cheng didn't rush to comment. He beckoned to the two behind him, motioning for him to come over. Then introduce it to everyone.
"This is the fourth child, your junior brother, this kid has no relatives here, you should take care of him more in the future." Zhao Cheng pointed to Ye Bai and introduced
"Little third Feng Ying, you should also know each other, the one on the left is your senior brother Wan Kong, and the one on the right is your second senior brother Wan Ming, the two of them are brothers."
"Senior brother is good, second senior brother is good."
Ye Bai immediately greeted respectfully, and then observed the two senior brothers.
The second senior brother is the tall and thin young man, and the senior brother is indeed a strong and serious man, who feels very similar to his teacher. But I feel like I'm more honest than the teacher. Ye Bai thought secretly.
"Hello, junior brother." The second senior brother responded to Ye Bai in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Hello." The senior brother also nodded indifferently in response.
A few people knew each other simply, Zhao Cheng took his wine gourd and handed it to Ye Bai with a smile.
"Come, take a sip first, this is a formal introduction, my master also asked me to take a sip like this, and I will stay this vice.
Ye Bai smiled bitterly at the few people who were laughing recklessly on the side, even the corners of the senior brother's mouth rose, and he took a sip of the wine gourd, the spicy taste stimulated his senses.
"Cool! It's the first time I've felt this way. ”
Ye Bai looked at the wine gourd happily, and then actually took another sip, so that the few people next to him laughed even more happily.
"Looks like we're going to have more drunkards among us." Zhao Cheng said with a smile.
"Looks like I'm going to have more drinking buddies." Wan Ming said happily.
Zhao Cheng called a few people together and prepared to explain to them the dragon pattern sword that had just been forged. He held the weapon horizontally on his chest and looked at it, with a ripple-like texture on the surface, which had been formed by a lot of hammering and folding methods.
Then a sword swung out of the aura, and the stone pier a few meters away cracked in response to the sound, and after a few taps, a crisp sound like a dragon's groan came.
"That's right, this is a top-grade magic weapon created by your senior brother Wankong himself, both the conductivity and sharpness of the aura have reached the peak of the best magic weapon..."
He explained the advantages and disadvantages of this dragon pattern sword to everyone, and then asked a few people to leave, leaving Ye Bai who was ignorant on the side. Naturally, a few people knew that the teacher was going to talk about some basic things separately next.
"Xiaobai, you don't have any foundation at the moment, I'll tell you some basic knowledge of refining weapons first."
"Okay, teacher." Ye Bai nodded in response and immediately listened carefully.
Later, after the step-by-step explanation of Zhao Chengkou Ruohanghe, he also understood quickly, which made Zhao Cheng a lot easier.
"From the selection of materials to the use of real fire or earth fire to purify the material, then the main material is condensed embryo, and auxiliary materials are added in the middle, the order must not be mistaken, and then forged into soldiers, then quenched and finally tempered."
"Doesn't that sound difficult?" Zhao Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Bai, who was thinking seriously, wanting to hear his understanding.
After thinking for a while, Ye Bai said: "The control of the heat temperature, as well as the strength during forging, and the proportion of ingredients when added, etc., are not a day's work. ”
Zhao Cheng nodded happily, Ye Bai's intelligence made him very pleased, and praised: "Although it is not comprehensive, it is not bad." This is just a basic magic weapon, and when you refine the spirit weapon, you will also have to engrave the spirit ban on the weapon. ”
"Forbidden spirits? What is that? Ye Bai asked.
"Spiritual prohibition is a prohibition that strengthens the power of a weapon. There are three kinds of spiritual prohibitions, such as the ordinary forbidden spiritual fire prohibition, and the flying sword has this prohibition, which can release spiritual fire to disturb the enemy when facing the enemy. There are also stronger Earth Evil Prohibition and Tiangang Prohibition in the back. Each prohibition has a different effect. ”
With Zhao Cheng's step-by-step explanation, he also had a simple understanding.
"Of course, there is no way to engrave the spirit forbidden with magic weapons, and only spiritual weapons containing spirituality are qualified to engrave them."
"When each spirit weapon is successfully refined, one or more spirit prohibitions will be inscribed." After speaking, Zhao Cheng took out two jade slips from the ring and handed them to him.
"This one records the Divine Forging Hundred Forms, and the other one records the Spirit Forbidden, of which there are more than 200 ordinary Spirit Forbiddens and three Earth Demon Bans."
"You will learn the spirit forbidden much faster, after all, this thing is also a way to use the inscription, so I said before that the formation and the refining weapon have something in common."
Ye Bai suddenly realized and nodded, and then Zhao Cheng led him to the refining furnace in the middle, and several senior brothers next to him were also practicing separately.
Zhao Cheng picked up a piece of the most common black iron steel, which was a common material for forging lower-grade magic weapons.
The black iron steel melted at a speed visible to the naked eye under the burning of the earth fire, and the entire body softened into crimson, Zhao Cheng took it out and picked up his Spiritual Qi Wanjun Hammer and began to beat it.
The Divine Forging Hundred Styles were danced by him, from the first style to the thirty-sixth style, each stroke crushed the impurities of the black iron and steel, and the rhythmic percussion also hammered into Ye Bai's heart.
In the end, Zhao Cheng drank loudly, the black iron steel was completely tempered, the outer layer had a black and bright luster, and the whole was also shrunk, and the black iron steel at this time could already be called iron essence.
Several senior brothers next to him also ran over to watch.
"He is worthy of being a master, just thirty-six styles will beat him perfectly into iron essence, I don't know when I can have this mastery." Wan Ming shook his head and sighed.
Wankong also felt the same way, their road was still long, and Feng Ying also nodded with a smile.
"Okay, less sycophancy. Second, I have told you more than once, don't fall at will without purpose when you put down the hammer, every hammer must know why it fell here, but if you practice with more heart, you will not be at this half-level until now. ”
Zhao Cheng took a sip of liquor and scolded Wan Ming with a smile, usually this guy likes to steal and play tricks.
Wan Ming saw that the master had turned on the sage mode again and began to nag, so he immediately excused himself to go to the furnace refining to practice, and the other two also quickly slipped away.
Zhao Cheng carried the gourd and took Ye Bai to the furnace and began to guide him how to strike iron.
