Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Temper of the Volcano

Stepping over the iron monument, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The space inside the Earth Volcano Village was far larger than what Yang Ji saw outside, and in the empty square, the sword furnaces were as dense as a forest, pointing straight to the sky.

In front of almost every sword furnace, there was a sword furnace disciple with his arms bare and his chest partial, sweating profusely. The sword furnace was full of firepower, the flames were wavering, the smoke was billowing out, and the ground next to it was full of various metal ingots.

The square came and went, the crowd was dense, there were observants, there were casting, there were people who delivered materials, and there were also people who behaved merrily, and customers who came to buy.

However, among these things, what attracted Yang Ji's attention the most was the dense crowd of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of weapons around the sword furnace and the square.

These weapons were mutilated or broken, broken or cracked, and one handle was stuck diagonally on the ground, radiating to all the open areas of the volcanic village in the interior of the forest.

There are halberds, swords and armor in these weapons, but more than ninety percent of them are all kinds of long swords, densely packed with extremely - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - the most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - degree of visual impact.

"This is the Sword Shrine!"

Seeing Yang Ji's puzzled gaze, the disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way smiled slightly, and introduced:

"All the defective products would be thrown here and cast on the ground with molten steel. ”

"Won't so many defective products be recycled?"

Yang Ji was a little surprised. Swords are forged in Sword Forge Villa, and materials are everywhere here. If the broken and scrap swords in these ** sword mounds are collected and re-smelted, the metal ingots produced are probably astronomical.

For Sword Forge Villa, which makes a living from sword forging and refining, this is obviously a huge waste.

"Hehe, you don't understand that. ”

The disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way waved his hand, with a proud face:

"No master refining is born to refine weapons, and more than ninety percent of the weapons that a new sword-forging disciple builds for the first time will fail. In our Volcano Village, weapons that fail to be forged by new disciples are never recycled. Instead, it will be cast in this sword mound. As a memorial. It is also a wake-up call to oneself and a reminder to improve every day. ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you, it's not just ordinary disciples. Even the elders and heads of our mountain village, and even the flying sword that the first generation of the founding patriarch of our Earth Volcano Village failed to forge for the first time, are all here. ”

If the swords in the sword mound are all your own, then of course it is a bit dishonorable to say it. But if even the elders, the owner. Even the first patriarchs are inside, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

On the contrary, it is also an honor.

Yang Ji could understand this feeling, but no matter what, this Sword Casting Villa in the Zhou Mansion still shocked Yang Ji. And Yang Ji also thought of a little.

"In fact, the remnant weapons in these sword mounds are still a kind of follow-up reserve. Once a dangerous situation arises, it is necessary to use the follow-up reserves, and these remnants of weapons can be quickly transformed into countless flying swords and armor. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

Reserve resources are extremely important for any power. Because of their own survival, and reserve resources are generally not needed. Therefore, the reserve resources of most of the forces are extremely hidden, and the less outsiders know about it, the better.

However, the Earth Volcano Village did the opposite, putting its reserve resources in the light. Such a huge resource. It's far beyond normal needs, but no one thinks it's inappropriate.

There is no doubt that this is a strategy, and it is a very clever one.

At this moment, Yang Ji suddenly had an intuitive understanding of this earth volcano village.

And for the first generation of the ancestor of the Earth Volcano Village who created this strategy, Yang Ji also felt sincere admiration. This is the real master, not only physically, but also mentally.

The Earth Volcano Village was able to enjoy this transcendent status and privilege in the Taiyuan Continent Mansion. Even the face of the military and the imperial court is sold, which obviously has its own special and extraordinary.

The volcano is full of people. A busy scene. The first time he went to this kind of place to cast flying swords, Yang Ji was also very curious.

Looking closely, Yang Ji found that those sword furnaces were all spire-shaped, and there was red-hot juice surging inside. The disciples of the Sword Furnace put those metal ingots into them with black pliers, and they melted in a moment. Then take the hammer and keep beating it.

Yang Jing found that the Sword Furnace disciples were beating very rhythmically, and when they were tempering and beating. Obviously, blood gas is used, which makes the metal ingots more uniform and dense after tempering.

This is also the most obvious difference between a sword furnace disciple and an ordinary blacksmith.

Forge these metal ingots as a warrior to forge magic weapons. The disciples of the sword furnace were obviously much more skilled in casting than the local blacksmiths.

This repeated and vigorous tempering can quench out the impurities in the metal ingots to the greatest extent, making their materials harder.

In addition, there are some special tempering techniques and techniques of Sword Casting Villa. The flying sword that is refined is very suitable for martial artists.

Since these Sword Furnace disciples are martial artists themselves, they can correct and detect errors in the casting process in a timely manner, and cast suitable martial artists according to the requirements of the martial artists.

However, Yang Ji observed for a week and also found some problems. The flames in the sword furnace didn't seem to be as high as he thought.

"That kind of flame...... Is it earth fire?"

Yang Ji looked at the molten things in the sword furnace and hesitated.

"Hey, Childe is smart. That's the fire. This is also the origin of the name of our mountain resort. ”

The disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way smiled when he heard this:

"Do you know how difficult it is to draw these earthfire magma deep underground to forge a sword? The earth fire is too deep, and too manic, and it is not easy to control. It took a lot of energy and effort to subdue a steady tributary of the earth fire in our Volcanic Village, which was used for the daily sword refining of the Mountain Village. ”

As he spoke, the disciple of the Earth Volcano Villa who led the way was obviously extremely proud of this achievement of the Mountain Villa. In fact, it is also true that the Earth Volcano Village can be valued by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, and the assessment of it as a "famous place for sword casting" is also inseparable from this.

It's just that this kind of strong pride feels even more strange in Yang Ji's eyes.

Earthfire is indeed good, but in fact, the temperature of earthfire is not too high. It may be possible to smelt some metal ingots, but in terms of the requirements of higher skill and level of refining, the temperature of this earth fire is obviously not enough.

Yang Ji even condensed the Yin Fire Yang Talisman at the level of a military general, which was a little higher than this temperature.

"Don't you all use flint?"

Yang Jidao looked a little hesitant. In fact, the best way to refine the weapon is to add flint to it, with the ground fire, there is no need for too much, add a little flint to each sword furnace, you can ensure a stable high temperature, and improve the quality and success rate of the refiner.

Such a simple question, Yang Ji believed that the famous place of sword forging such as Di Volcano Village should not be incomprehensible. Moreover, the consumption rate of flint itself is very low, so if you are worried about consumption, it is completely unnecessary.

But in fact, it seems that the Volcano Village has not thought about adding flint at all.

On the other side, hearing Yang Ji's words, the disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way was stunned, and his mouth completely opened into an "O" shape, as if Yang Ji said something incredible.

"Flint! Of course I do. But do you know what you're talking about, do you know how precious and rare flint is? If there is a flint, do you think we don't know how to put it in the sword furnace?"

"You said light, flint, you think it's Chinese cabbage. Why don't you get me a few pounds?"

......

The disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way was quite polite at first, but when Yang Ji pointed his fingers and interfered in the sword forging work of the Mountain Villa, he began to speak sarcastically, and he didn't have a good face.

What kind of place is the Earth Volcano Village? Even the families, nobles, and martial princes of the imperial court are here, what should they do, whether they have a good face or no good face, not to mention Yang Ji.

Yang Ji listened to the ridicule on the faces of the disciples of this volcanic village, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He realized that he might have miscalculated.

Yang Ji originally thought that flint was something that ordinary swordsmiths and Dan masters might not know. However, the Sword Casting Villa is the upper layer of the sword casting and casting chain, with hundreds of years of inheritance and the care of the imperial court.

Yang Ji originally thought that this kind of thing should not be a secret to Sword Casting Villa.

Facts have also proved that the disciples of Sword Casting Villa do know about flints.

But unlike Yang Ji's imagination, the reality is much stricter than Yang Ji thought.

Flint stone, which was very common in ancient times, was inherited and lost in modern times, and it is even stricter than Yang Ji imagined.

Not only those scattered swordsmiths and Dan masters didn't know, but even the famous sword-forging place like the Earth Volcano Village was actually in a state of emptiness.

It is not used at all in the casting and refining of reality.

In other words, the preciousness of such a thing as flint is far beyond Yang Ji's imagination!

"Sword Sixteen, come here. This person is handed over to you. ”

The disciple of the Earth Volcano Village who led the way beckoned to a big man with bare arms not far away, and without saying a word, he turned his head and left, obviously unwilling to wait for a layman like Yang Ji who likes to command blindly.

"Huh. ”

Yang Ji smiled bitterly and did not refute. Although he was reprimanded, Yang Ji was not unhappy in his heart. The rare thing of flint is far more powerful than he imagined, and there is not even a place like the Earth Volcano Village.

And the more precious the flint, the better it is for yourself. Whether it is selling or bargaining with Sword Forge Villa, asking them to help you forge a bronze blood magic weapon is extremely helpful to you.

Sword Casting Villa makes a living by forging swords and refining weapons.

Yang Ji believed that something like flint, which could greatly increase the success rate, must be something they couldn't resist.

"Childe, are you going to buy a sword?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a sound of footsteps approached, and the red spirit man who was called Sword Sixteen strode closer and asked. Yang Ji glanced up and found that he was a man with a very honest smile. (To be continued......) R1292
