The hut, which is rarely visited, is quieter without the old man who sits.

However, if someone listens attentively, they may be able to hear such voices from time to time.

"The sword body is a little yellow, it's too thick, add water!

"Stop!

"Another Qingyang stone has been integrated, don't waste your aura, step up your beating, and use your strength!"

In the cave under the hut, the old man scolded Zhou Shu loudly.

Most of the problems he pointed out stemmed from the experience of forging swords for a hundred years, and these were things that Zhou Shu could not get from his deduction, and Zhou Shu benefited a lot from them.

Dozens of days later.

Zhou Shu looked a lot haggard, these days he was about to completely force out his potential, except for a little recovery time every day, everything else was spent on forging swords, there was no moment of rest, and he was exhausted every day.

Sword forging is not as simple as sword training and cultivation, and it is even more mind-consuming, because the process of sword casting is changing rapidly, and it is easy to make unpredictable changes, which is different from sword training and cultivation.

His gaze fell on the heavy gold sword on the anvil platform, and his eyes carried a lot of relief.

At this time, although the heavy gold sword looked golden and restrained, and no longer had the power to snatch people, its internal strength and hardness, as well as its adaptability to spiritual power, were much stronger than before, and it was already an out-and-out fourth-order magic weapon.

He looked at the old man and bowed slightly, "Uncle, these days have been hard, and the younger generation is grateful." ”

These days, the old man is just as hard, like the most demanding and strict overseer, the old man observes every bit of change in the sword, and any flaw will be pointed out by the old man mercilessly. Then tell Zhou Shu to correct it.

There is such guidance and help from the elderly. Zhou Shu can do this.

The old man shook his head slightly. There was no trace of satisfaction on his face, and he said sternly, "There are still two steps left, don't relax!"

"The juniors understand. ”

Zhou Shu nodded seriously, most of the steps to improve the flying sword have been completed, such as Yunling, tenacity, fusion, etc., but there are still two steps left, the first is to trim the runes. Even if the swordsmith is cautious, raising the level of the flying sword in this way will also have a certain impact on the runes, and it must be restored, and on this basis, some new runes must be added to improve the power of the flying sword. Condensing the material makes it more suitable for the spiritual power of the cultivator, and at the same time, it can also store more spiritual power to exert greater power.

These two steps are also extremely crucial. It has a great impact on the grade of the last flying sword.

The old man looked at Zhou Shu, "This heavy gold sword, its own runes are not special, and it does not generate its own magic formula, it is just made to stabilize the material, now you want to improve it, you can make some new choices, such as adding new runes, etc., but the old man wants to remind you that if you add new runes, your sword intent sword technique may not be adaptable, how do you think about it?"

Zhou Shu stared at the heavy gold sword and groaned slightly.

The old man waited for a while, and said slowly, "The old man has some suggestions for you, first, you can not change it, just simply restore and strengthen the runes, so that there will be no obscure feeling when you use them, and secondly, if you want to add runes, you can also add a 'fire lotus' or 'broken mountain' and other magic runes, because of the existence of Cabernet Sand and Qingyang Stone, these spells may be able to maximize the ability of this sword." As for these old men who have taught you, it shouldn't be difficult. ”

Zhou Shu nodded, what the old man said was very pertinent, but he was a little hesitant.

Now this heavy gold sword, because of the existence of the Cabernet Sand, does have a lot of fire attributes, if you add its own magic trick, the power of the sword can be greater, and the grade may be higher, and even reach the top grade, the fourth order of the top grade magic weapon, that is something that the Jindan Realm will come to fight for, with such a magic weapon, in the Condensation Realm may be able to rampage, but in this way, it is a bit of a conflict with his broken jade sword intent, in the long run, it may not be conducive to his own sword cultivation.

"I still don't need the magic trick, just strengthen it on the original basis. ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Shu said seriously.

The old man showed a smile on his face, "It's a good choice, there is a magic trick on the sword, it can indeed increase strength, but it doesn't have much benefit to the sword cultivation itself, it's better to use a simple sword." ”

Zhou Shu nodded, "Then the junior will do it." ”

The old man waved his hand, "Well, engraving is one of the most critical steps, and the old man won't bother you, and he won't make a sound." But you have to know that once the rune makes a mistake, the energy spent in front of it will basically be wasted, and all of it will have to be restarted, and this sword will never reach the fourth order again. You've done a good job in front of you, and the old man hopes you won't fall on this step. ”

He retreated to the corner and looked at Zhou Shu from afar.

These days, although he has been very indifferent on the surface, he has a lot of surprises for Zhou Shu in his heart, but he didn't show it. Zhou Shu's performance, familiarity with materials, almost perfect spiritual power control, and many spiritual power reserves beyond ordinary people, these are completely beyond his expectations, he is simply a veteran of refining, but it seems that Zhou Shu is indeed refining for the first time.

"This little guy is really a little weird, as if he was refining a weapon in his mother's womb, but in fact it is really the first time to do it...... The old man was a little looking forward to what he could reach, but the old man was sure that if he continued to refine the weapon, he would definitely be stronger than the old man in the future. ”

The old man shook his head and sat down, his eyes full of surprise, but more than that.

Zhou Shu couldn't feel the old man's thoughts, and he wouldn't think about it, now he was extremely focused, and he only had a heavy golden sword in his eyes, to the point of forgetting himself.

Engraving is an important step in refining weapons, and it is also a step that determines the life and death of most magic weapons.

There is no magic weapon that does not need runes, even if it is a flying sword that does not need a magic trick, it must also have runes with stable materials and spiritual power, there are many kinds of such runes, and what Zhou Shu wants to carve is one of the difficult ones.

A simple engraving may be better, but to improve the flying sword, it is necessary to improve and strengthen on the basis of the original rune pattern and generate a new rune, which is undoubtedly a few points more difficult.

Zhou Shu's face was calm, and he picked up a carving knife and slowly carved it.

He's confident.

Engraving, like drawing a talisman on a rune paper, is guided by spiritual power, except that the pen becomes a knife. Such a process has been deduced many times in Zhihai, although it is difficult, but he has enough confidence.

Under the stroke of a stroke, there is no obscurity, the lines are clear, and the lines on the sword body are clearly revealed, as if they exist naturally, and the previous runes fit each other, without a trace of overlap or error, accurate to an extreme.

The old man in the distance did not make a sound, but his face was stunned.

Zhou Shu has never seen such a carving, every movement is unrestrained, swaying freely, as if with a special sense of beauty, so that he is unconsciously a little indifferent.

"It's a little scary to have such a talent. ”

He muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
