Chapter 25: The Lightsaber Becomes Complete
Due to the thorough preparation and the fact that he was also the first person to set off, Lu Chengfeng's final harvest was not bad.
The Heavenly Apocalypse Sect was buying at a price roughly thirty percent higher than the market price, and when he finally handed over the herbs he had collected, Lu Chengfeng once again earned enough gold coins to last for two months. In addition, the materials that can be used to make antidotes are also available, and Lu Chengfeng has gained a lot from this trip.
What made him look forward to it even more was that his first lightsaber after being reborn was about to arrive.
After a few days of careful preparation, Sinda, an old man with extraordinary vision, did not disappoint him. When Lu Chengfeng arrived on time, Xinda, who had already completed the preliminary preparations, was about to forge the lightsaber at this moment. At this moment, Sinda was taking the final step, inlaying the re-energized Thunderbeast Demon Core into the center of the hilt, and then connecting the slender sword core that had been engraved with the excitation circuit to the hilt!
This forging process is very different from ordinary weapon forging.
Conventional greatswords like those often require craftsmen to temper for many days, hammer repeatedly, and then go through a certain amount of magic treatment before they can finally take shape. The whole process technology accounts for three points, and it is more of a hard work. Lightsaber is different, there are very few parts that need to be tempered and hammered, at least eighty percent of them are technical work.
Xinda, who was engrossed in the inlay, didn't pay attention to Lu Chengfeng at all. He just waved his hand and went about himself. Lu Chengfeng didn't bother him, but watched patiently and quietly on the side.
At this moment, in Sinda's hand, the azure blue semi-permeable Yin Demon Core had been slowly inlaid into the hilt of the titanium silver sword. After fixed adjustment, the energy output point corresponds to the excitation circuit of the lightsaber. And the sword core, which was as slender as a stabbing sword and engraved with the lightsaber trigger circuit, was also docked with the hilt and the sword butt in Xinda's skillful grasp. After a long afternoon of debugging, the inconspicuous-looking, slender lightsaber that seemed to break at the touch of a touch was finally formed.
If you don't know about lightsabers, you will definitely scoff at the first sight of such a sword.
Before being reborn, Lu Chengfeng, who was a child of the Lu family, saw the lightsaber for the first time, and his expression was almost the same. Because the lightsaber that has not been officially activated yet, it looks so embarrassing. Only after the step of [Initial Opening], the lightsaber that is truly activated is those dazzling and gorgeous weapons in Lu Chengfeng's memory.
The first opening is the last and most important ritual for a lightsaber.
Unlike ordinary weapons that are shaped at the moment they are successfully forged, after the lightsaber is finalized, there is still a chance for minor modifications, that is, the first opening. The first time the lightsaber is activated, it can determine the quality, stability, and specific size and shape of the lightsaber. If the initial opening is reasonable, it can maximize the potential of a lightsaber. Conversely, it may even drop the power of the lightsaber by one step. Perhaps ordinary swordsmen can't feel the gap, but for masters, maybe a little detail can have a huge impact on them.
It is precisely because of this that when the Tianfeng Lu family forged the lightsaber back then, most of them were strong people who were more than two orders higher than the forging lightsaber level, and they personally helped to open it.
As a blacksmith master who can break through the Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword in one bite, of course, Sinda also knows the story of the first opening. However, he was curious that Lu Chengfeng could actually get a lightsaber, and he had the intention to test him, so he didn't speak immediately. It wasn't until Lu Chengfeng picked up the lightsaber directly that he hurriedly stopped.
Lu Chengfeng smiled at him, with a bit of mystery, and said, "No need, I'll just open it myself." ”
"You know the beginning?"
Hearing Lu Chengfeng say the word Chukai smoothly, and it seemed to be very confident, Xinda was quite surprised.
Now, he was sure that Lu Chengfeng's previous statement was false. It's not impossible to accidentally get a circuit blueprint of a lightsaber from the ruins. But even the word "first opening" can be called, and if you have the courage to open your own lightssaber in person, you can only do it if you have a deep understanding of the lightsaber.
With Xinda's understanding, even among those thousand-year-old families, royal families, and top sects in Kaiyang City, there would not be more than one-tenth of those who knew the word Chukai. As for those who dare to open the lightsaber alone, they don't even need to think about it. Because, even the top families and sects that have been recorded no longer use lightsabers. Only the inheritance of a blacksmith grandmaster like him can have a certain degree of certainty.
What is the origin of this young man in front of him?
Noticing that Xinda's eyes were a little more curious and inquisitive when he looked at him, Lu Chengfeng smiled faintly and reached out to hold the hilt of the lightsaber. The lightsaber, which has not yet been opened, looks no different from ordinary iron weapons. The sword body was dull and restrained, and there was no momentum or vision of any magic weapon at all. But only Lu Chengfeng knew how dazzling this lightsaber would be once activated.
After carefully closing his eyes and feeling the weapon that had not yet been opened, Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly entered the fighting qi into it, and began the official activation!
At this moment, even Sinda was silent, watching his movements intently.
The first opening is extremely demanding for the inspirer.
As far as the Tianfeng Lu family is concerned, the initial opening process requires that the light energy must be slowly excited, and the middle should be as stable as possible, without the slightest fluctuation. When the length of the lightsaber reaches the desired requirements, the excitation immediately ceases at that moment. The blade of the lightsaber will automatically remember the length of the first time, and then completely finalize it.
In the past, Lu Chengfeng's first few lightsabers were all opened with the help of the seniors in the family.
After being reborn, it was different, firstly, he was the only one left in the entire Lu family, and secondly, Lu Chengfeng already had the experience of being a quasi-ninth-order. With his control over the fighting spirit, it was completely fine to give a third- or fourth-order lightsaber to the first place.
Just listen to a soft buzz.
Under the infusion of Dou Qi, the Thunder Demon Core, which was already full of energy, began to overflow energy continuously. Through a steady excitation circuit, a clear blue light began to light up from the sword holder of the lightsaber. The gloomy hilt of the sword, which originally looked like a dead thing, gradually began to become dazzling as the light of the lightsaber body lit up. Because it uses the magic core of the thunder-type demonic beast as an energy storage gem, the sword body of the lightsaber is also wrapped with a breathtaking thunder and lightning light.
That's additional Thunder Energy damage!
The whole process of opening took about 20 seconds.
Under Lu Chengfeng's stable control, the sword body was excited from zero to a little bit, and finally expanded to a length of almost one meter. Due to the superb control, the lightsaber was almost five centimeters per second, and the initial opening was completed without the slightest fluctuation. When Lu Chengfeng terminated the activation and the length of the lightsaber was finalized, the crystal clear sword body of the lightsaber shook, and it made a soft buzzing sound again. Then, a dazzling azure light quickly lit up from the sword body and disappeared in a flash!
The Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword is done!
At this moment, Xinda suddenly had the illusion that the Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword was actually a living thing!
Lu Chengfeng, who had completed the initial opening, breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to wield the weapon, which weighed only one-third of an ordinary one-handed sword, and felt the terrifying sharpness and lightness, and couldn't help but be greatly satisfied. At this time, leaves fell from the sycamore trees next to the yard. When landing on the sharp blade of light, the fallen leaves were barely affected, silently slicing in half.
Next, the ordinary short sword used to test the sword was also directly cut off by the lightsaber like cutting gold and jade!
Seeing the smooth facet at the fracture, and then looking at Lu Chengfeng's effortless posture and the unaffected Blue Shadow Thunder Light Sword, Xinda, who had fought countless weapons, couldn't help but bow slightly, and praised: "It is worthy of being the famous sword of the Heavenly Wind Empire back then, and this sharpness is probably enough to rival its ordinary sixth-order weapon." ”
Lu Chengfeng nodded, held the lightsaber, looked at it for a moment, and finally put it away with satisfaction.
With the weapon at hand, the fighting spirit is also a thousand miles a day, and he is brave and diligent in the third order, Lu Chengfeng is quite satisfied with his current situation. However, before he could pass from his joy, Sinda had already begun to urge him: "Now that the sword is in hand, why are you still stopping at me? ”
All right......
Lu Chengfeng finally made such an evaluation of the Northern Barbarians, as far as Xinda's character was concerned, it was indeed unlikable. However, in the Heavenly Wind Empire back then, he had seen a lot of strange people, and he had also seen those he hated even more than Sinda. Lu Chengfeng didn't show any dissatisfaction, nodded in agreement, and turned to leave.
Since he promised others, he would try to do it.
Besides, after getting the new lightsaber, Lu Chengfeng also wanted to find an opponent to practice.
After running to Xu Yinjie and entrusting him to help refine the antidote, Lu Chengfeng made a little preparation and set off for the ruins of the fierce poison the next day.
The poisonous ruins, before this, were actually the same as Thundering Town, they were all villages and towns outside Kaiyang City. It's just that a hundred and ten years ago, because a ninth-order peak quasi-poison king was ambushed by the enemy near there, the sky fell apart. In the end, the ninth-order master who was covered in poison died along with the two great enemies. But all kinds of poison escaping from his body also unfortunately dispersed, turning that village and town into a dead city completely.
A hundred years later, to the present, the original poison has dissipated a lot, and its power has been greatly reduced. However, the vicinity of the town has long since been in ruins, and it is connected to the nearby forest. The demonic beasts that still live in it have also adapted to the highly poisonous environment, and almost all of them have more or less poison attacks.
The bloodthirsty and poisonous wolf of the fourth order is one of the monsters.
Since the residual poison is still enough to kill, the radius of the poisonous ruins has always been a forbidden place for mercenaries within a radius of dozens of miles. Without adequate preparation, it is easy for no one to dare to go deeper. Lu Chengfeng was also taking the medicine given to him by Xu Yinjie, so that he could ignore the lilac poisonous mist that filled the air, and he went deep into the ruins of the fierce poison alone.
Since more than 100 years have passed, the traces of the great battle of the ninth-order masters of that year have long been gone. However, there are still some ruins of the abandoned town buildings. It's just that, due to the erosion of the poison, everything here has become something that is stained with poison. There are mottled purple spots on the ground, water sources are polluted, and all plants and animals are highly toxic. Except for the occasional flash of mutated monsters, the entire ruined town became lifeless.
A breeze blew, smelling the dizzying sweet smell in the air, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help frowning.
