Chapter 99 - Double Hammer Forming"Burn for forty-nine days!" What kind of path is this? I have never heard of it before. "
Li Mu was a little perplexed by his instruction, he had never heard of using this method to process ingredients."What do you know? This is a method I obtained from an ancient book. Using this method to process some special materials can produce some unexpected results. When it is integrated into your dual hammers, it will greatly broaden your horizons. Hehe."
Luan Tian proudly said.
Li Mu stuck out his tongue. Although he suspected the feasibility of this method, he still followed Huntian"s explanation and placed the fist-sized Thunder Crystal into a new snow jade bowl. Then, he placed it into the furnace in front of the door and used saltpeter to increase the temperature of the flame.As for the Mixed Source Stone and the Blood G.o.d"s Iron, Li Mu placed the two objects together with the Darksteel Heavy Gold. The three rare materials were used to forge the twin hammers, and since the Thunder Crystal would need to be processed for forty-nine days, he was prepared to fulfill his agreement with Treasure House to forge twenty-five common weapons.
Because he had to open the furnace for another weapon, Li Mu had no choice but to get people to call Zhou Xianguan over. Without this capable person, he would not be used to it.
Just like that, Li Mu spent the next few days in the training grounds. It was different from the days when he helped create weapons for the inner disciples of the Gold Jade Sect, although it was an agreement with the Treasure House, but there was no time limit, so Li Mu did not try to rush the progress, and in the end, Li Mu spent seven days to create twenty-six pieces of Common Equipment.
The reason why there were eleven Grade Eight Common Weapons s and one of them, was because Li Mu had used the remaining of the materials that Treasure House had given him to forge them. He did not keep the weapons himself, but rather gave them to Zhou Xianguan.
He, who had obtained the Grade Eight Common Weapons that Li Mu had bestowed to him, was wild with joy because he was the first person in the world to possess a Grade Eight Common Weapons. Although it was a bit embarra.s.sing to accept it, he did not decline Li Mu"s request after hearing that it was tailored for him.Li Mu sent Zhou Xianguan back and also delivered the twenty-five pieces of Common Equipment to the Treasure House.
What was worth mentioning was that after Qingfeng checked all twenty-five pieces of"s normal weapons, he was smiling so hard that his mouth couldn"t close. He kept praising Li Mu as a genius, and even said that Li Mu would immediately announce his name if anything happened to him in the future.Because Li Mu had"s Tongxuan realm expert as a background, Qing Feng"s name would naturally disappear. However, Li Mu still planned to announce Qing Feng"s name when he needed to purchase ingredients in the future, in order to not let him have his twenty-five pieces of Common Equipment that were above the eighth grade tricked by the opponent in vain.
Because there was still some time before the Thunder Crystal would be burnt by fire, in the following days, Li Mu either used the crystal to cultivate the Great Brahma Art, or used the microarray to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations. At the same time, he also took into account the situation of the Thunder Crystal burning in the furnace.
In a blink of an eye, another forty days pa.s.sed. On this day, Li Mu finally welcomed the forty-ninth day of the Thunder Crystal"s refinement.
Early in the morning, Li Mu had already started making preparations in front of the Weapon Forging Platform. This time, he did not call Zhou Xianguan over, because half a month ago, Zhou Xianguan had already entered closed-door training.
"Luan Tian, using so many Darksteel Heavy Gold as the main ingredient to refine twin hammers, there should be very few people in the cultivation world right? I now have a strange look of antic.i.p.ation, I have never looked forward to forging weapons for others like this time."
Looking at the Darksteel Heavy Gold, Blood G.o.d"s Metal, and Primeval Stones placed in front of him, Li Mu was extremely excited."Nonsense, in the past, you were always forging weapons for others. Even if you forged Mortal Weapons, they would still belong to others. They have nothing to do with you. This time, you are forging your own weapon. This is understandable."
He was not as agitated as Li Mu was, and his tone was no different from his under normal circ.u.mstances.
"Hehe, I forged it according to my own imagination. I will start from your point of view. I have forged so many common weapons, this is the first time I have forged a dual hammer."Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, Li Mu said with some difficulty.
"Since you haven"t forged a pair of hammer-type weapons before, let me give you some pointers. After all, it is not easy to collect these materials, and if you are going to waste them, I will not be willing to part with them. I will teach you to forge a pair of Heavy Iron Hammers, the first thing you need to do is to split these materials equally."
Hammer type weapons are not as good as other dual sword type weapons. In order to make it easy to use, it"s best to have consistent control over weight. Therefore, the first thing you have to do is to evenly distribute these materials.
"You have already reached the [Innate] realm, so you can use Spiritual Sense to leave the body. With a sharp weapon like Zhan Qianqiu, sharing the materials should not be too difficult for you.
Li Mu nodded his head, the Emptiness Realm Expert had heard his words correctly. He took out Zhan Qianqiu, and under the precise control of his spirit sense, in less than half an incense"s time, he had successfully split the materials into two. Breaking into the Innate Realm, other than having his lifespan rising to 200 years, having his spirit sense coming out of his body was also one of the biggest benefits."Okay, next, you can take out a large piece of iron essence and split it into two parts according to the drawing. Although there are a lot of these three materials, they are still limited, so it is impossible to use these three materials as the main component in forging weapons. Although the quality of the iron essence cannot be compared to that of Darksteel Heavy Gold, it is still not a problem to mix it in with other materials."
Luan Tian reminded Li Mu after he received all three ingredients.Li Mu had already prepared this long ago, it was a material that was refined countless of times. Because it was pure enough, it was usually used as a support material for casting weapons, and because the impurities in it had already been refined clean, it was extremely easy to fuse it with other materials.
Li Mu took out a large piece of iron essence and easily split it into two with Zhan Qianqiu.
In the following process, Li Mu no longer needed to be reminded by the heavens. First, he placed a portion of the Iron Essence into the furnace, and then burned it until it was completely red. Then, he placed the Blood G.o.d"s Iron, Mixed Source Stone, and Darksteel Heavy Gold into the Snow Jade Bowl to refine it into a liquid form, and then merged it into the Iron Essence.
Just like that, a red-hot, soft, and extremely heavy metal lump appeared on the copper block. Li Mu skillfully picked up the Gold-ranked Dual Hammer, and started to refine it.
The combination of the flurry hammer technique and the river crossing step made Li Mu more proficient in using it after breaking through to the Innate Realm, becoming sharper and sharper when compared to when he was in the Postnatal Realm.
Very quickly, under"s meticulous guidance and extreme concentration in training, the unfavorable impurities in a huge lump of iron was removed completely.
"Don"t be in such a hurry to forge it. Put it into the furnace and continue to refine it. Only until it is almost melted can you take it out!"
After the impurities were removed, Li Mu used his past experiences to begin forging. However, before he could make a move, he stopped Li Mu in his tracks.Li Mu was extremely convinced of Luan Tian"s strength, and without asking the reason why, he placed the twenty thousand kilograms of iron lump back into the furnace.
"After fusing so many ingredients, it will take some time for you to reach the best temperature. You can start refining the other raw materials. Don"t worry, I"ve already opened my spiritual sense, so everything in the furnace is under my control."
The experienced Li Mu did not give him too much pointers this time. His speed was extremely fast, after shortening it by almost a third, he removed all the impurities in the raw materials completely and put them into the furnace."Alright!" It is already time for the best shape, you have to remember, don"t spend too much time on the surface shape. The taboo of hammer-shaped weapons is to spend a lot of time on the appearance of detailed drawing.
Not long after, he used his Spiritual Sense and pa.s.sed on a message to Li Mu. Li Mu received a reminder to take out the raw materials for the training.
The hammer-shaped weapon was much easier to shape compared to normal blade-like weapons. Because there were very few areas that needed to be refined meticulously, under Li Mu"s focus and concentration, he quickly molded the red-hot, soft lump of iron into a foot-basin sized hammer.The hammer was about a meter long, almost 25,000 jins long, and looked extremely domineering. The only flaw was that the round hammer only had a few shallow grooves on it, but other than that, there were no other detailed drawings.
"That should be about it. Hurry up and put it on the stove to continue calcining. Prepare another set."
Not waiting for Li Mu to take another look at his masterpiece, he anxiously urged again. Li Mu"s Spiritual Sense scanned the surroundings and realized that it was not good, the other hammers" raw materials were almost melted from heat, if he was even a little later, it would be too late.
Li Mu did not think too much and quickly followed Primordial Sky"s instructions. He placed the fully formed Heavy Profound Iron Hammer at the mouth of the furnace and continued to calcinate. He then took out the raw materials for the second Heavy Profound Iron Hammer and continued to shape it.After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, another large hammer had appeared on top of the furnace. This large hammer looked exactly the same as the large hammer that Li Mu had created for the first time.
"Overall, it"s not bad. Although it"s a little ugly, it doesn"t have much of an impact on its rank. It can at least reach the ninth level.
Luan Tian seemed to be in a very good mood as he spoke with a smile."Is this for real? Why do I feel like it"s so unreliable? That"s right, how are the Thunder Crystal doing? It should be about time, today is already the 49th day."
The most exciting thing to talk about was the Thunder Crystal. This was because he had been keeping it a secret for a long time, so he couldn"t bear it any longer.
