Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Flying Sword
Early in the morning, Chu Yan came to Qifeng as usual and followed the disciples of Qifeng to learn refining weapons.
"Senior Brother Chu Yan, it's early!" The bamboo pole greeted him warmly.
"Senior Brother Bamboo Pole!"
The two greeted each other, and then sat down to listen to the lecture with peace of mind, and Qifeng's class was the same as that of the formation peak, which was to first explain the key points of the technique, and then the elder would personally demonstrate it.
Chu Yan carefully observed, lecturing on the elder's every step of the refining technique, and simulating it in his mind.
"Senior Brother Chu Yan, have you succeeded in calling the fire?" Bamboo pole seems to have no interest in today's lesson, and has been deserting.
"It's done!" Chu Yan replied casually.
"It's finished?" The bamboo pole blinked, stared at Chu Yan carefully, and then said uncertainly: "Senior brother, you succeeded in calling the fire at once?" ”
"Hmm!"
"......" Chu Yan's flat tone made the bamboo pole set off a storm in his heart, calling fire seems to be extremely simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, although calling fire is only the first step to become a refiner, but there are thousands of disciples in the entire Yunyan Sect, and there are only a few dozen people in Qifeng, this first step is not so easy to take, how many disciples can't summon the spiritual fire in their lifetime.
Time passed slowly, the main class was over, and the disciples of Qifeng walked out of the classroom one after another, and Chu Yan also walked out, but his direction was not to leave the main hall.
"Senior brother, where are you going?" The bamboo pole followed up and asked curiously.
"Go to the refining room."
"Huh?" The bamboo pole was shocked: "Senior brother, you are not mistaken, you are going to the refining room to refine the weapon?" ”
"Or else?" Chu Yan didn't quite understand: "Didn't the elder just talk about the forging method of the Spiritual Qi Flying Sword?" I'll go to the refining room to try my hand. ”
"Senior brother, I have to remind you, the elder in the refining room has a bad temper, if you break the refining furnace, you will inevitably be scolded!"
"Thank you, senior brother, I'm just going to take a look, and I won't mess around."
The bamboo pole naturally didn't believe Chu Yan's words, so he followed together.
At the door of the refining room, an unkempt old man was leaning on a stool on the side, holding a wine gourd in his hand, full of wine, and he was like a drunkard.
The bamboo pole took a step forward with bated breath and said, "Elder Wine, we want to enter the refining room to practice, and we hope that the elder will agree." ”
Elder Wine didn't raise his eyelids, and said casually: "Go ahead, don't damage the refining furnace in the room, if you break the furnace, Elder and I also know my temper, I like to move my mouth after drinking." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, Elder, we will never mess around." With a sneer, the bamboo pole took Chu Yan into the training room.
The refining room was very spacious, with several refining furnaces placed in it, and there were already a few Chu Yan on the side who looked at the familiar disciples who were refining.
He didn't rush to make a move, but also observed the techniques of those disciples for a while before he summoned his spiritual fire and prepared to do it.
"Senior brother, you can take it easy! Don't blow up the stove. Bamboo pole looked scared, it seemed that he had done this.
"Senior brother, don't worry." Chu Yan comforted him gently, and then introduced the spiritual fire into the refining furnace to raise the furnace.
The temperature required for the refining furnace is extremely high, so the user should preheat the refining furnace with spiritual fire in advance, that is, the furnace is raised, which can make the refining furnace heat up faster and make the temperature in the furnace more uniform.
There was a refining furnace over there, and Chu Yan began to prepare spiritual materials here, and there were no spiritual materials in the refining room, so they had to bring their own, so the general disciples were not sure that they would not open the furnace refining to avoid wasting materials.
However, Chu Yan has no such concerns, he has a long heritage, although there are not many materials, but he can still use one for one.
"Black iron stone, flowing golden sand, and moire steel are all excellent spiritual materials, junior brother, your family seems to be in a good situation!" The bamboo pole looked at the few spiritual materials that Chu Yan put out, and there was a little envy in his eyes, he had been mixing in Qifeng for half a year, and he had never gathered these three things.
"Ha, senior brother said with a smile, I've been preparing these things for a long time." Wealth is not exposed, Chu Yan still understands.
"Ah, that junior brother is courageous." The bamboo pole can only stretch out his thumb, if he puts it on him, he must be reluctant to come up with good materials, and he really tries it for the first time, after all, it is wasted and it is given for nothing.
Chu Yan smiled and didn't speak, but stared at the heating refining furnace, and then threw the three spiritual materials into the furnace in turn for smelting at the right time, and he didn't notice that the wine elder, who was still drunk just now, was staring at him at the moment, with a glint in his eyes.
"This kid is a little different." Elder Wine took a sip of wine and muttered to himself.
As the temperature of the furnace fire continued to rise, the three spiritual materials had begun to gradually melt and intertwine together, and finally turned into a scorching liquid.
"Senior brother, the smelting has been completed, you can shape it quickly!" The general bamboo pole kindly reminded.
Chu Yan smiled slightly, he didn't shape it immediately, but waited for a few breaths before taking out the molten iron with aura and shaping it in the air, and he had just learned it, so he didn't choose something too difficult to condense a common flying sword.
"Not bad!" Elder Jiu secretly praised again.
The following is tempering, through continuous beating, the molten iron becomes solidified, and at the same time the impurities in the molten iron are removed, so that all aspects of the flying sword conditions become better.
After ping pong for a while, Chu Yan felt that it was almost over, so he began to gather spirits, the most important step in the refining process.
Because the spiritual material is in the process of smelting, the spiritual energy will overflow and be emitted in the furnace, helping the furnace fire to become pure, and the refiner needs to gather these spiritual qi through the spiritual pattern and re-inject it into the forged sword blank.
This step is very important, and it is also a difficult problem for the refiner, once the spirit gathering fails, the entire sword blank will crack, and the previous efforts will be in vain.
Chu Yan didn't dare to be careless, held his breath and concentrated, manipulated a trace of spiritual energy, carefully gathered a spiritual pattern in the sword blank, and then slowly introduced the spiritual energy in the furnace into the sword body.
The process of gathering the spirit is extremely slow, but you have to be very careful, once the spiritual energy is injected too quickly or too slowly, it will break the sword blank, and the bamboo pole on the side is standing firmly on the side, staring at the movements of Chu Yan's hand, and he doesn't even dare to breathe.
Finally, the spirit pattern that had just been drawn emitted a bright light, which meant that the spirit gathering had been successful, and the flying sword had reached the next grade.
Chu Yan didn't continue to draw the spirit pattern, he felt that the spiritual energy that the sword blank in his hand could hold had reached the limit, and if he forcibly tried to raise it to the middle grade, it would only break it.
Put the flying sword into the water that had been prepared on the side, only to hear a puff of white smoke rise, and the last step of the quenching process is completed.
"Awesome!" Seeing the success of the refining weapon, Zhu Jian hurriedly clapped his hands and congratulated: "Senior Brother Chu Yan, you are really amazing, you have successfully refined a low-grade spiritual weapon for the first time." ”
"Senior brother said with a smile, it's just a low-grade pseudo-spirit weapon, what's there to be happy about." Chu Yan wasn't too happy, and the white light from the flying sword spirit pattern in his hand indicated that this was a first-order low-grade pseudo-spirit weapon, the most inferior pseudo-spirit weapon.
"You!" The bamboo pole was stunned and looked at Chu Yan's slightly disappointed expression, he didn't understand for a while, he succeeded in refining the weapon at one time, and he also reached the first order lower grade, this has to be put on him, no, it is also a matter of being proud enough to put it on the disciples of the Instrument Peak.
"Thank you for accompanying me, junior brother, I have said goodbye in advance." Chu Yan was frustrated for a while and had no intention of staying, so he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Alas, junior brother, why are you leaving? Don't want a flying sword? ”
"I've sent you, senior brother."
"Hey, thank you very much, the inferior flying sword is a good thing." The bamboo pole looked happy.
