Chapter 103: The Swordsmith Becomes a Master (2)

......

Inject the sword qi in the body into the black steel hammer, and while checking the force of the sword material during the forging process, dredge the qi veins in the sword body. The process of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is not complicated, and it doesn't seem to require too many skills, or Ou Chuyang doesn't need to use any skills at present.

Because, for the capillaries of the generally slender qi veins, the sword body is wide enough. The eight qi veins required by the good product treasure are not as thick as chopsticks, so they can be arranged by Ou Chuyang no matter how they are arranged. Maybe in the future, when thousands of qi veins are needed, the skills of the swordsmith need to be tested.

Therefore, at present, the process of arranging the qi veins requires enough sword qi in the body. When Ou Chuyang first cast his sword, he only arranged a single qi vein to exhaust all the sword qi of his swordsman entry realm.

Although the swordsmith does not have high requirements for the talent of the sword gate, he can get started with a heavy sword gate. However, the level of talent of the Sword Gate is also crucial to the speed of the swordsmith's advancement. Mei Qixin cultivated to the realm of sword masters with the double sword sect, and it took a full thirty years to become a sword caster. When he cast the Superb Treasure, he planted thirty-two Qi veins, and he had to exhaust all his strength. Moreover, Mei Qixin's delay in advancing to the Sword Casting Master is also likely to be limited by the talent of the Sword Gate.

Now, when Ou Chuyang swordsman entered, the sword qi in the strange dantian in his body was much more abundant and condensed than that of ordinary swordsmen, and he was able to lay down the eight qi veins with ease. Ou Chuyang wanted to test his limit, so he exhausted the sword qi in his whole body and laid down eight qi veins again. After the sixteen qi veins were arranged, Ou Chuyang was also exhausted, and he had no strength left to continue casting the sword.

Mu Wanqing walked behind Ou Chuyang, who was meditating cross-legged and absorbing sword qi, reached out to stroke the back of his heart, and crossed her sword qi to help him recover as soon as possible.

......

After the gas vein is distributed, it is the four key fires of annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering. Annealing, normalizing, and tempering are good to say, but quenching almost made Ou Chuyang's previous efforts wasted.

Ou Chuyang suddenly inserted the golden and translucent sword blank into the ice cube for quenching, and the huge ice cube like a square table suddenly exploded with a "bang!", startling everyone.

"Oops!" Ou Chuyang was shocked, and hurriedly returned the sword blank to the furnace to maintain the temperature, and at the same time hurriedly found a way to find a quenching agent.

"It's still the cold spring of the Meixin Hall of the Qianyuan Sect that is easy to use......" Ou Chuyang thought about it for a long time, and was at a loss, but he didn't expect that a hundred secrets and a mistake would go wrong at the critical juncture of quenching, and a suitable quenching agent was not so easy to find.

Just when Ou Chuyang was as anxious as a lobster in a frying pot, Mu Wanqing walked out with a large wooden barrel, "Can you try this?"

"This is ......" Ou Chuyang took the wooden barrel and looked at it, the clear water inside had been frozen into pure ice, and at the bottom was the cold-jade-fu-ball that Mu Wanqing used to meditate and practice.

This cold-jade-fu-ball can actually freeze clear water into ice, and the cold is so strong that I really don't know what material it is made of.

"Try it, the cold of this cold-jade-fu-tuan should be strong enough. Ou Chuyang said as he inserted the sword blank into the ice bucket again.

"Sss

When the white smoke gradually dissipated, the quenched sword body regained its metallic luster, and was frozen in ice. Ou Chuyang pulled out the sword and flicked his fingers.

"Qiang-" With a dragon groan, Ou Chuyang nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad!"

......

Four fires were burned, and the sword was forged. The next few processes such as cold forging, shaping, opening, polishing, polishing, and polishing were handed over to the shaping, decoration and other workshops to complete. The parts of the sword grid, sword handle, sword eye, and sword pier were also entrusted by Ou Chuyang to several sword-casting apprentices.

Other sword-forging teachers and students are afraid that others will steal the teacher, so they must bow down to each other, not to pass on the disciples, and they are not even allowed to see the process of sword casting. But Ou Chuyang is the opposite, he will never do the work that can be handed over to others to do. Stealing a teacher? You have to learn it secretly. Ou Chuyang knew his own affairs, and his sword-forging method was not so easy to learn. Even if you learn it, you may not be able to use it freely. After all, how many people in the world have such a strange talent as him?

"Don't you think it's cheesy?" Mu Wanqing saw that Ou Chuyang had chosen golden gold as the material for the hilt and scabbard, and put forward her opinion.

"Vulgarity is elegance. I'm casting mass commodities now, and I can't be too high and low. Ou Chuyang said with a smile. Gold must be very valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the sword master, it is unremarkable.

The sword eye gem, Ou Chuyang used an obsidian. The obsidian of this world is jet black all over, dense and opaque, and it feels very mysterious, and it is the best second-level sword material.

On top of the sword pier, Ou Chuyang mixed in nine grains of chaotic dust, expanding the storage space for the sword with a radius of three feet, which was enough for daily use.

"It's a lot of work to forge a sword, and I'm going to have to get some sleep. Ou Chuyang stretched and walked back to the room.

Mu Wanqing came in with a soup bowl, "I've been busy around the fire for many days, let's drink a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup first and go to the fire before sleeping." ”

......

Ou Chuyang's dream was halfway through, and he was called. Di Zhenjie heard that he had successfully cast the treasure and rushed to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to Brother Mei, successfully promoted to swordsmith, this is a rare joy. Di Zhenjie was the first to congratulate.

"Congratulations to Deputy City Lord Mei, congratulations to the fourth prince!" Also with Wei Dongheng and Chai Tiefeng, who had recovered from his injuries, were also there.

"Everyone is their own person, so you're welcome. Ou Chuyang invited everyone to sit down and watch the tea, and he realized that he had finally been promoted to become a genuine swordsmith.

"These two are old friends of mine, and I heard that I am witnessing the birth of another swordsmith in the Western Acropolis, so I have come to see them. Di Zhenjie said and introduced the two people beside Ou Chuyang.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was wearing a royal blue tuanhua bouquet waist, saw the salute and said, "The fourth prince has always admired Deputy City Lord Mei, which makes us very curious. I don't know if I have the honor to see the pioneering work of Deputy City Lord Mei's promotion to swordsmith today?"

"Brother Liu is really acute, hehe. Another horse shopkeeper wearing a dark embroidered gold brocade robe said with a smile, "However, we really want to appreciate and appreciate the sword forged by Vice City Lord Mei himself. ”

Ou Chuyang saw that Di Zhenjie brought a few businessmen today, and guessed that he might want to open up sales for himself, so he asked Li Fuquan to take out the freshly baked treasure.

Ou Chuyang made a "sonorous" sound and drew his sword in his hand. The sword looked golden on the outside, but when it was unsheathed, it was black and shining. The sword body is jet black, only a dazzling gold thread in the middle of the sword spine, and there is a trace of low-key luxury in the calm atmosphere.

"Outside the gold and jade, Xuanjun is among them, a good sword!" The horse shopkeeper was the first to clap his hands and praise, he was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with gold in Xuan, he must have liked this tone the most.

"Yes, yes, can you let me take a closer look?"

"Please. Ou Chuyang returned the sword into the sheath and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu.
