Section 37 Sword Forging

In the preparation of the sword, Ye Chao used the function of the "virtual room" to repeat, repeat and repeat. Use the purified materials for smelting, forging, plasticity, quenching, refurnace, casting, shaping, cutting and other steps, and strive to achieve every link, every step is like a peer, if not enough time, Ye Chao is ready to form muscle memory before starting the formal casting. After all, the material is only enough to squander it once.

The day before the official forging, Ye Chao gave himself a vacation, just practiced the first form of the "Body Strengthening Technique", and after this period of practice, it can barely be regarded as completed. After eating something well, and even bathing and changing clothes, Ye Chao remembered that in the past, the ancients even had to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth to bless the success of sword casting, and finally even cast a peerless sword with his body. Ye Chao doesn't have such ambitions, but it is still necessary to make himself refreshed and rest well to adjust his mentality.

After the first practice of the "Strengthening Technique", Ye Chao returned to the futon on the ground of the "Void" room and sat down cross-legged, looking at the ten white scratches on the side of the futon. Ye Chao silently closed his eyes and began to practice the useless "Dragon and Tiger Mountain" exercises.

At the top of the white jade steps, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and I didn't know where. The nine-colored deer and the stunning woman in red stood in front of a mountain wall, which was as smooth as a bronze mirror.

"Do you really let him forge his own sword?" The nine-colored deer tapped the ground with some helplessness.

"Look!" The woman's voice was still so cold.

"We have a lot of swords in our treasure house, wouldn't it be better to give him a random one?" The nine-colored deer turned slightly around the woman. Seeing that the woman did not answer.

"I'm going to send him out in ten days, won't I tell him anything?" The nine-colored deer blinked with wide eyes.

"Look again!" The woman replied.

Early in the morning, Ye Chao stood up from the futon on the ground of the "virtual creation" room, although there was no sunlight outside, but Ye Chao felt that there was a sun rising in his body, today must be a successful day, everything is full of vitality.

Hammer after hammer, Ye Chao was bare, and he was engrossed in beating the sword embryo, ensuring that the power of each hammer could be evenly distributed to the sword, clanging, clanging, and the sound of percussion echoed in the "forging" room.

Ye Chao wiped the sweat on his face with a cloth, raised the sword embryo with both hands, looked at it carefully in the light of the fire, and then used a tool to send the sword embryo into the fire again, which should be the last beating. Ye Chao moved his sore shoulders, and the weight of the "big sword" gave Ye Chao a little headache. At the same time, the increase in the difficulty of beating brought about by the mixing of meteorite into iron also made Ye Chao a little unexpected, and it took one day more than planned to create the sword embryo.

The subsequent quenching and the reheating that softened the surface of the sword embryo, Ye Chao mastered it just right. Now comes the most crucial step, to carve the runes in the predetermined positions on the sword. For this step alone, Ye Chao spent two days designing and simulating in the "virtual room". The hard work paid off, when the carving knife slightly drew the first knife at the junction of the hilt and the sword body, Ye Chao entered the realm of forgetting things and me, only the lines of the talisman in his brain, and only felt the touch of the carving knife and the sword body in his hands, and only the patterns that kept appearing on the sword body in his eyes. A line, a turn, a curve, a pause....... Ye Chao is like this, people follow their hands, their hands follow the knife, and the knife follows the distance of the sword body. The side of the sword body was carved with Ye Chao's last sword, and the knife was lifted away from the sword. But Ye Chao did not rest and leave, but used the carving knife in his hand to pick up the sword body, and used a skill to make the sword body flip over. Ye Chao repeated the action depicted earlier, this is the problem that Ye Chao found and came up with when he simulated the "virtual fabrication" room this time, because the original design was to depict the talisman on one side of the sword body, but if it is used normally, the input force will cause the weight of the sword to be unbalanced, and a slight imbalance will often cause fatal problems in formal battles, so Ye Chao decided to depict both sides of the sword body at the same time.

After this step was completed, Ye Chao didn't feel breathless, for fear that once he relaxed his spirit, he would lose all his efforts. Surrounded by the material of the talisman that has been ground into powder, this is added so that you don't have to consume too much mana stored by yourself when you infuse mana later. Ye Chao wanted to take advantage of the low surface temperature of the sword body and the residual temperature inside the sword body, so that the powder could adhere to the carved lines without being melted by the temperature transmitted by the sword body. When the last stroke was completed, Ye Chao carried the exercises, and walked twice along the lines of the talisman on the sword body, Ye Chao wanted to ensure that there were no dark injuries and breakpoints in the process of mana walking. At this time, there are some flaws, which can be remedied.

Ye Chao threw the last remaining materials into the furnace one by one, and the raging furnace fire melted the materials Ye Chao put in into a metal slurry and shook it in the container he was riding. Ye Chao's hands changed, and he began to run a method "water diversion technique" that he learned here, and the magic trick attracted not ordinary water, but the red molten iron, and saw that the molten iron in the furnace was pulled by Ye Chao's force, and a hot metal slurry jumped out of the furnace.

As soon as it was exposed to the air, it made a crackling sound, like the first thunder between heaven and earth, and the metal slurry began to solidify into a red iron wire when it encountered the air, and began to slowly transform to black, what Ye Chao had to do was to cover this layer of iron wire with the lines of the talisman engraved on the sword body, so as to ensure that the powder in the lines would not fall off with time or collision, and more importantly, it would be impossible for the opponent to guess the additional functions of this weapon.

If the previous beating is to split Huashan, open and close. Then now the beating is girlish embroidery, carefully. Ye Chao felt that his vision was a little blurry, and his arms and fingers seemed to have no feeling, and he began to become numb. At this time, he can only rely on himself, relying on his own willpower and the feeling brought by the countless simulations in the "imaginary" room, to support it.

After all, this is the first sword he cast, and it is also the product of his countless painstaking efforts, and it is the starting point of his swordsmanship. There is nothing in front of him, no one behind him. Persistence is the only reliance that can be grasped now. In the countless forging and percussions, Ye Chao vaguely felt that he and the sword in front of him seemed to be breathing together and sharing the same fate. From forging to beating, from beating to blowing, the arms and fingers, which had lost sensation, began to slowly regain sensation again. At first, it was sore, then it was a sharp pain, all he could do now was grit his teeth and carry it, and finally Ye Chao could feel his blood flowing in his arm, strong and warm, and with his own blow, the power of the blood extended into the sword.

When the final blow was completed, Ye Chao had a feeling of detachment, in fact, what was more tiring than his body was his mental strength, and the feeling of not being able to make a little mistake was like a sharp weapon hanging above his head. But at this time, he couldn't lie down, there was still one last step, he used his own hands to send the sword body into the refining furnace again, and burned all the sword body with flames, this last step even blocked his luck, and uneven heating in one place may cause the previous work to be wasted.

When the sword was taken out of the furnace, Ye Chao input a trace of evil force, and the evil force naturally flowed along with the runes hidden in the sword body, and penetrated together, and the sword was completed at this moment! Ye Chao's hands trembled, but he was careful as if he was holding his beloved child, and after the sword was placed on the anvil, he sat on the ground. At this time, there is no red glow filling the room, there is no lightning and thunder, and there is no wonder of dragons and tigers roaring and falling fairy flowers in the sky. There was only a "big sword" with a different shape, a large size, and a long sword body, which stayed there quietly and a man with a haggard face but a smirk, looking at it.

The follow-up matter of building the sword is relatively simple, the only thing that Ye Chao didn't expect is that due to the incorporation of meteorite gold, the sturdiness of the cast sword exceeds expectations, so the work of polishing the blade becomes very time-consuming, and finally Ye Chao only opens one side of the sword body under the condition that time permits, and the other side can only wait to leave here and return to his own society, and then slowly polish it. He was not so particular about the hilt of the sword, and used the wood he brought to clamp two small pieces of iron to make a sword and a hilt, and after winding and fixing, he would make do with it first.

In the next fifteen days and nights, Ye Chao shifted his position and came from the "instrument room" to the "martial arts field". Ye Chao has long been familiar with that "Imperial Sword Technique". The first half of "Imperial Sword Fighting" is the basic swordsmanship moves, which are divided into nine movements: stabbing, splitting, pointing, teasing, slashing, collapsing, racking, hanging, and pulling. It seems simple, but the exercises of the immortal family are not simple, these nine moves require the cultivator to be able to use the functions of the body to fully master the sword technique first, and then wrap the sword with mana, so that the sword can be controlled. The sword is out of the control of the human body, but because the body has been very proficient in handling the sword before, although the sword leaves the body, the mana that controls the sword is still controlled remotely according to the memory of the body, so the sword cultivator's attacks are faster, more ruthless, and more accurate. According to the final elaboration of "Imperial Sword Technique", "the sword is a hundred steps away from the body, vertical and horizontal, free to retract and release, point stabbing into a line, cracking gold and opening the mountain, Fang is a masterpiece of swordsmanship!" ”

But for Ye Chao's forged "Great Sword", these nine moves are not impossible to practice, but unfortunately the rest of the time is there now, and it is impossible to make his body fully familiar with these nine moves. Especially like pulling, hanging, stabbing, and pointing, the special shape of the "big sword" is relatively difficult to perform. Therefore, Ye Chao did not do two things endlessly, and only practiced the moves suitable for his sword: splitting, slashing, teasing, driving, and collapsing. Especially the three styles of splitting, chopping, and teasing.

After the sword move is selected, you have to practice the mana in your body, that is, the evil qi to wrap the sword and control it slowly. Ye Chao first entered the evil qi into the sword body's introduction circle, and then came to the Yuan Accumulation Rune through the magic circle, after gathering here, there were two options, one was to start the follow-up rune array, and the other was to directly bypass the rune array and wrap the entire sword body along the sword body rune. Because the sword body was too large, fortunately, with the help of the Yuan Talisman, he found that on the premise of not damaging the evil pill in his body, the evil qi in his body could barely wrap the sword body for about ten minutes, and if he added the operation and control of the sword, Ye Chao estimated that it would only take about five minutes. If you are using the rune circle on the sword, then the time will be calculated in seconds. In other words, now the evil qi stored in Ye Chao's body is only enough for one blow under the premise that the magic circle is all lit, if he does not hesitate to burst the evil pill in his body, it will be the last desperate means.

Ye Chao of the "Martial Arts Arena" estimated that it should be the most open room in the entire "Chuan Gong Academy", which is a flat floor. Half of the area is like a modern playground, and there are a lot of equipment that you can't see of any material. Ye Chao looked at it for a while, it should be helpful to practice various equipment or attack moves or enhance some aspect of the body. The other half is divided into three areas, sheltered by three gates. Each hangs three wooden signs and simple instructions for "Shu", "Escape", and "Instrument", similar to the use of other room functions, here as long as you provide enough "magic elements", you can choose to enter one of the gates, and practice your own cultivation spells, body methods and weapons in them according to the classification of "Shu", "Escape" and "Instrument". It is said that there are also puppets in it to provide battles.

Ye Chao didn't choose to go in and see what was going on at the moment, after all, time and mana were limited. Coming to the corner of the playground, Ye Chao concentrated on practicing the three styles of chopping, chopping, and teasing.
