"Studying?" The middle-aged man's expression changed, and his gaze at Meng Li became strange.

"Young man, I see that your qi and blood are beyond ordinary people, and you should be a martial artist who has achieved physical training, why do you want to learn my small skills?"

Forging, after all, is a trail.

Not to mention how hard it is to become a forging master, even the most outstanding forging grandmaster has a very different status compared to the top martial artists.

After all, there are only seven divine weapons that can attract the hearts of top martial artists in this world.

The middle-aged man opened the letter, and after reading it, he smiled and said, "Since it is Brother Bo Yun's request, I won't embarrass you, you can stay with me to study in the future!"

If you don't think about it, Li Boyun's face is quite big.

Hearing the middle-aged man's promise, Meng Li was overjoyed and said, "You are Master Cheng Bincheng?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right, you can call me Lao Cheng in the future!"

"Old Cheng, this is not appropriate, right?" Meng Li hesitated.

Cheng Bin, who had temporarily sealed the stove and put on his shirt, waved his big hand and said: "There is nothing inappropriate, if you don't call me Lao Cheng, do you want to call me Master Cheng?" ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "Okay, old Cheng ......"

Cheng Bin, who calls himself Lao Cheng, is now only in his early fifties.

In his words: I am not old when I am over half a hundred years old, and I am still in the prime of life.

And that's exactly what happened.

Cheng Bin, who has been engaged in iron-making for a living all the year round, even if he has never practiced martial arts, his body has already been trained into an iron tower, and every muscle in his body looks harder than granite.

So far, Meng Li has taken root in Cheng Ji Iron Shop, and learns forging skills with Cheng Bin every day.

After starting to get in touch with forging, Meng Li realized that forging was not a simple thing.

Forging was a hard job and more time-consuming, but he was short of time, and he could only stay here for three months.

In three months, it is naturally impossible to systematically learn forging skills, and in the face of this situation, Cheng Bin can only take the sword and create a quick method for him.

In Cheng Bin's words, it is to specialize in one item, starting from the basic hammer forging of forging, focusing on the small and refined forging hammer method, and only in this way can he complete the forging of hidden weapons within three months.

Cheng Bin also said in private that low-end hidden weapons are all popular goods, and if you want to create high-end secret weapons, you must rely on personal conditions, which coincides with Meng Li's idea of private customization.

If you want to create a set of hidden weapons that suit you, the energy required is extremely troublesome, just the design in the early stage, not to mention that forging itself is also a chore.

Fortunately, Meng Li has been practicing martial arts for the past two years, and he has also practiced diligent skills, and his physique far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he can persevere.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Three months of non-stop learning and hammer forging have made Meng Li have made great progress, not to mention rebirth, but it has also changed a lot, not only has his mental outlook been greatly improved, but the whole person looks much tougher.

Of course, the changes in this are also inseparable from the credit of diligence, in the past three months, whenever Meng Li hammers and forges iron, he will run diligence, he can feel that this practice of focusing on strengthening the body seems to have entered a new realm.

The changes in diligence still need to be figured out by him in the future, and the top priority now is to return to the word "forging".

The creation of the exclusive secret weapon was completed half a month ago, but in the past half a month, Meng Li has not left, but with the mentality of how much he can learn, he followed Cheng Bin to learn the orthodox forging method.

At this time, Cheng Bin was sitting in the grass hut of Cheng Ji's iron shop, holding a broken sword in his hand and talking eloquently.

"The learning of forging is broad and profound, Lao Cheng and I have been extremely poor all my life, and I have only learned a little bit of skin, and you have not even been a dime a dozen in just three months. With a wry smile as he spoke, he handed the remnant sword in his hand into Meng Li's hand.

"What do you think of this broken sword?"

Meng Li greeted the sun, raised this neatly broken sword, and secretly observed it with his eyesight that he had practiced for three months, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath and said: "The blade of the sword is sharp, the sword body is dense, if the cold water is rippling, there is no trace of miscellaneous lines, facing the sun, you can even feel the sharpness of the sword." The sword is constantly broken, good sword!"

In this world, most swords seem to be able to be evaluated as "good swords", but how many really good swords are there?

Cheng Bin sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Alas, it's wrong, this sword is very bad." ”

"How is this possible?" Meng Li was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled the broken sword in front of his eyes, stared at it carefully, and said, "It shouldn't be! This sword should be the best choice in all aspects." ”

Cheng Bin took back the long sword, and flicked his index finger lightly on the broken sword, and the sword groaned softly, and its voice was tactful and long.

"The material, the forging technique, are all the best choices, the only thing that is bad about this sword is that it is spiritless?"

"Spiritless?" Meng Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Old Cheng, do you want to say that this sword has no soul?"

Cheng Bin shook his head and said seriously: "Soulless is soulless, soulless is soulless, and soulless is soulless, the two are not the same." ”

Meng Li said with a confused face: "Old Cheng, why are you babbling today?"

The study of forging is not only about art, but also about fate.

During the time when Meng Li was studying art with Cheng Bin, he once watched a forging book called "The Chronicle of Forging". Among them, there is a legend of a sage who forged the soul of a sword and fed the furnace with his body.

It is no secret that a sword with spirituality is at least one grade higher than a sword forged by the same process.

Meng Li thought that the spirit that Cheng Bin said was the soul of the divine soldier in his impression, but looking at what Cheng Bin meant now, it was not.

"Why don't you say you're still young!"

A shrewd kid, but now he is suffocated, which makes Cheng Bin, who has always wanted to have a problem, feel very good, and said with a smile: "Do you know that the science of forging is also divided into immortals?"

Meng Li said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Bin asked rhetorically: "Have you ever heard of the word "one step to the sky?" ”

Meng Li nodded, and was even more curious in his heart, one step to the sky, wouldn't he become an immortal after ascending to the sky?

Seeing Meng Li's curious eyes, Cheng Bin smiled bitterly: "There is one thing I haven't told you all along. In fact, there are two kinds of forging methods, and the forging technique I have handed over to you these days is just the most common method of forging. ”

All forging, as the name suggests, the mundane forging method, the utensils forged by this method, are mostly used in mundane things, pots and pans, coulters and hoes, and those who forge things by this method can only be regarded as blacksmiths at most, and no matter how deep the forging is, they cannot reach the realm of the forging master.

Those who can speak as masters must forge from the research immortals and forge the divine weapons of the patterned spirits.

Meng Li had only been in contact with forging for three months, and he didn't understand the twists and turns, so he asked, "What is immortal forging?"

"The method of immortal forging is evolved from the method of mortal forging, in addition to exchanging iron for a hundred stones, it is also necessary to use spiritual objects as a guide, and finally it is to put the finishing touch on the spiritual pattern. ”

"Spirit Pattern?"

"The pattern of the spirit is the spirit pattern ......"

Cheng Bin smiled slightly, knowing everything and saying everything, and after some explanation, Meng Li quickly understood.

To put it simply, immortal forging is to use the method of forging spiritual patterns, with spiritual objects and hundred stones, to forge spiritual patterns on the blade, and give the blades stronger power with spiritual patterns.

Because this step of ascending to the heavens of the immortal forging technique is also independent of the martial arts, it is juxtaposed with the talisman and is the same as the three major systems.

Looking at Meng Li, who looked shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time, Cheng Bin said proudly: "Little ghost, now you know how big this world is, you still have a lot to learn!"

Meng Li said with a strange face: "So, you can also use this immortal forging technique?"

"That's nature. Cheng Bin puffed up his chest and said proudly: "The essence of immortal forging lies in casting spirits, and with my current ability, it is not a problem to cast a treasure knife with a spirit pattern." ”

The world only knows that he is good at forging swords, but they don't know that compared to forging swords, he is better at casting knives, and this "casting" is casting spirits.

Meng Li took out the wooden knife he was carrying and handed it to Cheng Bin.

"Lao Cheng, come and see my knife. ”

"What other flowers can a wooden knife play?" Cheng Bin saw that Meng Li took out a wooden knife, and thought that he was a child's toy, and he was a little contemptuous in his heart. But when he saw the lines on the wooden knife, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Spirit Pattern?"
