Chapter 60: Beginner Smithing
"Hmm;"
Leng Yi gritted his teeth, straightened his waist, stretched out his hand to probe the air in front of him, with a wave of water ripples slowly rippling, a scorching wave of air rushed out, the burning portal opened again, Leng Yi jumped into the space;
Today's space is full of pig iron blocks bought by Leng Yi, according to Lao Long's requirements, Leng Yi has to make this 10,000 catties of pig iron into various weapons before he can complete the first step of basic training;
Entering the space, Leng Yi took off his shirt, revealing his slightly thin but extremely lean body, and then picked up a few pieces of pig iron weighing more than ten catties with iron tongs and put them into the oven;
As Leng Yi expected, these pieces of pig iron turned extremely red in just a few breaths after being placed on the ashes, and Leng Yi hurriedly clamped them piece by piece with iron tongs onto the forging table, however, the last piece of iron was completely vaporized before he could take it out;
The temperature of the ashes is so high......
What about the flame that ignited?
What level of weapon does it need to be forged with this fire?
A trace of doubt flashed in Leng Yi's heart, and then he fixed the iron with pliers with his left hand, and picked up the 5,000-pound hammer with his right hand;
Qi sends out the heart, which means to condense the element, and gathers and disperses it to reach the reason......
Leng Yi once again silently recited the forging technique granted by the old dragon in his heart, and began to slowly mobilize the vitality in his body according to his method;
Due to the slow speed at which the forger's bloodline communicates attribute energy, this also makes the method of forging for the body's vitality very different from martial arts, or even diametrically opposite;
In today's cultivation world, except for the low-level cultivators who are unable to communicate attribute energy, or who need to be close to each other at special moments, the vast majority of battles are to use Yuan Qi long-range attacks, so in most cases, the amount of body is irrelevant;
Therefore, forging is to seal the vitality in the body, and then use a special method to break it up, so that it can penetrate between the muscles, bones, and tendons, so as to nourish and protect the body tissues, so as to obtain greater strength and endurance;
Although there is a hint of physical cultivation in the forging technique, there is a fundamental difference between the two;
After all, the strength and endurance generated by the forging technique are not the explosive power required for combat, so, unless it is compared to wrestling, the brute force of the forging master is even more useless than the brute force of Leng Yi;
Call!
Leng Yi exhaled deeply, then slowly raised the hammer and smashed it down according to a piece of red iron that had been laid out—
Burst!
The hammer fell, and the wide space echoed with a suffocating knocking sound, and in the sparks that splashed like fireworks, the piece of pig iron was smashed into a tattered discus by Leng Yi's hammer;
"It's not a fight, tap;" the old dragon's helpless voice sounded;
Leng Yi nodded, grabbed a piece of iron again, took a deep breath, and struck the hammer again with solemn eyes;
Bang!
"Stupid! when you drop the hammer, you should relax your muscles and accumulate your strength like when you punch it, and exert your strength at the moment you hit the iron!"
Leng Yi bit his lip, grabbed a piece of iron again, and raised the hammer again......
Boom!
"Idiot! Constant velocity, do you know what uniform velocity is!"
Boom!
"Waste, rhythm, rhythm, are there muscles in your head!"
The small space echoed with the sound of striking iron of different tones, and at the same time it was filled with the old dragon's increasingly ugly scolding, but the young man never retorted or complained, but revised his methods again and again;
Night walks, day after day, and then it gets dark, when the desolate Gobi Desert is once again shrouded in darkness......
Boom!
A completely different sound of striking iron echoed in the space, like a crisp gong full of pleasant echoes!
It's done!
That's how it feels!
When the aftersound lingered, Leng Yi was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows, although he hadn't heard what the correct sound of striking iron looked like, but this feeling was really different!
"What are you smirking at! One day and one night, it took more than a hundred corrections to master, and there is a smile!" the old dragon split his head and covered his face and scolded again;
"I've never seen striking iron, how do I know what's right!" Leng Yi finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted at the roof: "You sue me, how long did it take you to master this technique!"
"What so much nonsense! Keep fighting!" The old dragon didn't pay attention to Leng Yi at all, and with another scolding, he was silent;
Seeing that the old dragon was silent, Leng Yi pursed his lips, and then returned the iron pieces to the furnace again, starting a new round of construction, and a pleasant "clanging" sound echoed in the space where the heat wave was rolling......
The cold wind is bitter, and another night passes;
When the sky was dark, Leng Yi, who was sweating profusely, finally stopped the hammer, rubbed his sore arm and picked up the water bladder and poured it violently!
"Happy!"
Looking at the wood-splitting knife on the forging table, Leng Yi wiped his chin fiercely, a pair of delicate eyes were shining, and he seemed to be full of joy for his first work;
"Get carried away! What kind of system! A scrap iron can't even cut down withered grass!" The old dragon's voice always appeared just right, "Hurry up and go to bed! Go buy a few different steel knives in the afternoon, and come back at night to fight them!"
As if he had long been accustomed to the old dragon, Leng Yi still happily picked up the black firewood knife, looked left and right for a while, and then got dressed and walked out of the scorching space with the futon to sleep;
In the afternoon, Leng Yi still carried the second-order manpower hammer and ran to the Western Wilderness City again, and then rushed straight to the workshop concentration on the outskirts of the city;
Since the purpose of this trip was to buy a few simplest steel knives for mortal use, Leng Yi did not go to a place like the Sword Weapon Pavilion, but went directly to the barbarian blacksmith shop in the workshop area, and then picked a slightly larger shop and walked in;
"This little brother, which shop are you from?" Seeing Leng Yi walk in, the guy was originally enthusiastic about greeting, but after seeing the hammer in Leng Yi's hand, his attitude became indifferent, and Leng Yi blocked the door;
Which shop?
Seeing the guy's attitude, Leng Yi frowned at first, but then he was relieved, and he carried the hammer into the blacksmith shop, didn't he know if he was here to smash the field?
"Hehe, this brother misunderstood, I came with the caravan, I didn't mean anything else;" Leng Yi smiled, and then put the hammer by the door to show his attitude;
"Oh, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what does the little brother want?" the man then smiled and greeted warmly, and let Leng Yi into the tinkling shop;
"What kind of steel knives do you have here?" Leng Yi said, glancing at the walls and iron shelves covered with knives, guns, and clubs;
While the guys were picking up the goods, Leng Yi casually looked into the depths of the hot shop, and saw that in front of the two steaming ovens, more than a dozen shirtless men were sweating and beating the iron blocks in front of them;
This should be the blacksmith's apprentice;
Looking at those monks, the corners of Leng Yi's eyebrows raised, he knew that in order to become a blacksmith, in addition to the hard standard of cultivation, the second thing was to become a qualified blacksmith, and to become a blacksmith, he must start with an apprentice;
"This little brother, it seems that you are also a blacksmith apprentice, right?" the man brought a large bundle of various steel knives and placed them in front of Leng Yi, then looked at the hammer at the door and smiled;
"Yes, I haven't been learning for a long time;" Leng Yi said with a smile, and then looked at the steel knife in front of him one by one;
Sure enough!
Looking at the exquisitely crafted and solid steel knife in his hand, Leng Yi couldn't help but nod slightly; the barbarians are fierce, so their feelings for weapons are by no means understandable to the Daqi people, which also makes the sword soldiers fought by the barbarians much stronger than those produced by the Daqi people;
It's just that there are too few forgers among the barbarians, so in terms of the weapons used by the monks, Daqi is still superior;
"Are you a great prayer?" Leng Yi paid the silver to tie up the goods, and looked at the guy before leaving;
"Yes, I came a few years ago as a blacksmith's apprentice here;" said the fellow, smiling as he collected the money;
"Hmph! Da Qi people, all of them are pampered, and they can't even swing a hundred-pound hammer for long;" At this moment, a stiff shout came from the depths of the shop, and then a big man with a horizontal face came over with a hammer;
Leng Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and then looked at the big man, the faint fluctuation of vitality on this person's body indicated that this was a blacksmith with cultivation, but he was definitely not a forger, once he became a forger, he would inevitably be recruited by major forces, and the same was true among the barbarians;
"Are you Daqi's blacksmith apprentice?" the big man glanced at the hammer in Leng Yi's hand and snorted coldly, then looked at the sword soldier on Leng Yi's shoulder, and then grinned:
"Go back and let your master see how the craftsmanship of the Sprinkle family is!
"Definitely;" Leng Yi glanced at the big man, then nodded, and then walked out of the blacksmith shop with the sword on his shoulder;
In fact, Leng Yi was a little unhappy when he heard the big man's cold snort just now, but he knew that his catties and taels could not be compared with the big man who had fought all his life;
But......
When the master finishes beating the 10,000 catties of pig iron, he will definitely ask for advice in person!
Leng Yi looked back at the shop, and then strode towards the city gate, and at this moment, he saw a team of men and horses walking in from the city gate from a distance; looking at the posture, it was clearly a certain big family in Xichuan, Leng Yi looked at it, and it could be seen from the sign on the horse that this was the caravan of the Cheng family;
Looking at the sign, Leng Yi gritted his teeth and wanted to bypass it, after all, he had no entanglement with the caravan, but at this moment, Leng Yi's brows couldn't help frowning, he clearly saw two familiar figures in this team;
Cheng Rui!
I didn't expect you to make it out of that place alive!
