After a night's rest, Changning felt that his state was back to normal.

On the table next to it was a bag that had been packed last night, just a few changes of clothes, and it couldn't have been easier. Flat on the side of the bag was his own dusty sword.

After completing a few minor repairs yesterday, Zhan Lu threw him a piece of Longyun Steel and asked him to refine it into his sword.

Changning's sword is still just getting started, and it is just forged by himself. said that it was forging, at this time, I thought that I just picked up the hammer indiscriminately and made a sword shape from the iron billet with stubbornness, although I can also play martial arts and fight, but it is also difficult for the brothers and sisters of the forging hall to admit that this is a sword.

With Changning's cultivation and refinement, although this sword is temporarily handy, sooner or later it will not be able to withstand the strength of Changning's moves and battles, and it will be even more difficult to carry the infusion of Dao power in the near future. It just so happened that Changning's caster's skills had also reached a higher level, so Zhan Lu asked Changning to reforge the blade as soon as possible to prepare for his subsequent cultivation.

Longyun steel is a commonly used casting material in the sword mound in the lower three steps of the human realm and even in the middle three steps of the realm, out of the intersection of the deep iron veins and the leylines, and then mined out with the power of the Tao as the essence of the fire. It is tough in nature and has excellent adaptability to Dao power. The only fly in the ointment is that it is still born on mortal iron, which is too light for a cultivator. In the eyes of ordinary people, toughness and lightness are excellent qualities, but when cultivators use it, they have to forge it layer by layer to make a blade that can take advantage of the weight of their hands, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

The dragon in Long Yungang's name is taken from the leylines of the earth, and Yun is bluntly light. Naturally contaminated with Dao rhyme, but not as difficult to obtain and cast as thorough Dao materials, so despite its flaws, Longyun Steel has become one of the materials favored by cultivators.

Using Long Yungang to reforge his own gray long sword is the best choice for Changning at the moment.

Opening the furnace and forging the sword is already familiar to Changning, not to mention that his control is not what it used to be. It's just that this is the blade that I have carried with me for a long time, and there will still be a trace of nervousness and expectation in my heart when I feed it into the forge.

Carefully sink your mind into the sword, feel the slightest structure in it, trigger the earth fire, smelt and soften. Longyun steel gradually turned into a ball of molten steel under the blazing heat of the ground fire. The forging method of the ground level can induce the Dao force to attach to the material, but the current Changning can only immerse the long sword into the molten steel melted by Longyun Steel step by step, and then use the sword intent in the peak of the sword furnace as a guide, and pour the Longyun molten steel into the gaps in the long sword little by little - these subtle gaps that penetrate the whole body of the weapon are inevitable flaws at the time of forging, even if the best materials are tempered wisely, no matter how much effort is put into applying more skills, these flaws are still unavoidable, just a difference in the number of differences.

As the techniques and materials progress, these gaps will be filled in little by little, and the materials used in the old sword body will be gradually replaced. This process is long and boring, for the disciples of the forging hall or any craftsman, using the furnace in the sect and borrowing the Dao rhyme accumulated over the years in the furnace can greatly reduce the uncertainties in this process. For cultivators who don't know how to forge and smelt, they can only rely on the realm to put the weapons into the sea of qi after the realm, and then complete the process through the careful refining of the Dao fire.

After a whole arm-sized piece of Long Yun Steel was finally melted into Changning's long sword, the volume of the entire long sword did not increase, but instead appeared more slender and slender. After all, when Changning became a sword, it was only barely called a cultivation entry, and the skill could only be regarded as rough, and the recasting at this moment was not only refined into new materials, but also quenched out a lot of impurities in the sword body, which were burned by the furnace fire, and even the embers were not left behind, and they turned into invisible.

Hold the forging hammer, and the familiar texture and weight are passed into your hands. The next step is to combine the new with the old. Silently transporting the Dao power, feeling the sword intent leaping through the sword furnace, feeling the high temperature of the furnace fire, and feeling the feedback of the most subtle part of the long sword in his hand, Changning pounded the sword body accurately and quickly, and each time he beat it, it brought up a small whirlpool of rhyme, and then overlapped it, forming a larger whirlpool in a small range in front of him, and the center of the whirlpool was naturally the long sword.

Whether it is the Dao power or the sword intent that is swept into the whirlpool, it not only tempers the long sword, but also tempers Changning itself.

It didn't take much time to reforge this time, and when it was finally baked and quenched, and the sword was re-grasped, the familiarity made him feel at ease. And pointed to the sword body, the sword sound was clear and long, and he was already a good Taoist soldier. As long as more Dao materials are found in the future, the caster's skills will be further advanced, supplemented by his own Dao strength and Dao rhyme, and it will be a Taoist thing with the same heart.

Retract your thoughts, rest and retract your sword.

The sun is just rising, and warmth is sprinkled all over the body. The forge peak is lush with trees, and the aroma of earth and grass is absent. There are birds singing and cicadas singing, and the cool mountain breeze blows by the side. The sound of the river rushing can be heard in the distance, lining the quiet morning.

It's a good day.

Stand still, breathe and breathe. Until the morning bell spreads melodiously, the mind is washed and cleared.

Then the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lu Ming walked in with an equally small bag.

"Let's go, let's go, the story of the heroine of Luming galloping through the rivers and lakes and fighting for righteousness starts today!"

"But isn't our trip here to find out if there are any signs of netherworld infiltration within a hundred miles along the way to Cangshu Pass?"

"That's right, the Netherworld infiltrated and was discovered by us, and then retreated in a big way, isn't this a chivalrous act?"

"Yes...... But how do we find out? If it was like that of the Mabang disciples that day, wouldn't we have no way of knowing?"

"Isn't that defenseless, people go into the mountains to challenge, we can't sweep them one by one with a large array, how petty and childish. ”

"What then?"

"So Uncle Mo and Master Zhan Lu worked together to refine this magic weapon. As he spoke, Lu Ming took out a round cyan stone from his embroidery bag and handed it to Changning: "When Uncle Mo came back from the north, she was contaminated with the spirit of the underworld, and she used her own spirit as a guide, plus the mayfly of the son and mother, and conceived this kind of Zhiyou Pearl to explore the spirit of the underworld. ”

Changning stretched out his hand to take it. The stone was cold and piercing, and at the moment it glowed with a little green light, but it was gone in a flash.

Lu Ming continued: "Look at this green light, the heavier the surrounding spiritual energy, the brighter the green light. A few days ago, on the sword platform of Luoxia Peak, the disciples of the Ma Gang were killed, and we were all contaminated with the spirit of the underworld, so if we hold it, it will also emit green light. But if it is a person who is really impregnated by the netherworld, Uncle Mo speculates that this thing should be able to sense it. ”

"I see...... When the glory is in full swing, it is the place where the netherworld is approaching, which is really convenient. ”

"But Uncle Mo said that this is just an idea of hers, and our trip is just to help her verify it. If it works, it is naturally the best, if this magic weapon does not respond all the way, either the Netherworld has not yet dared to land around the sword mound, or this magic weapon is ineffective against the dormant Netherworld people who do not show their true appearance like the disciples of the Ma Gang. Lu Ming put away the cyan stone, clapped his hands, and concluded: "So our trip is to go all the way north to Cangshu Pass, and then go all the way back to the chivalrous battle, understand?"

"Understand ......"
