Chapter 86 - Forging of a Sword
"Junior Brother Li, how is it? Can we start now? " Shen Cai Qing anxiously said.
"Of course we can start, but Senior Sister Shen seems to have forgotten my condition. Although I trust Senior Sister Shen a lot, there are some things that should be explained clearly."
Li Mu did not rush to make his move, but stared at Shen Cai Qing and said with a faint smile."Don"t worry, you"ll get it for yourself. Take it!"
Shen Cai Qing knew that Li Mu meant Purple Cloud Wood and Blue Sandstone. She took off a leather pouch from his waist and threw it over to Li Mu.
Li Mu received the leather pouch and opened it a crack. Through the thin slit, he could see clearly that inside the black pouch, there was a blue crystal the size of a goose egg and a purple wooden block the length of a baby"s arm.
"That"s right, this is Purple Cloud Wood and Blue Sand Stone. This little girl is pretty amazing, she was actually able to be found by her in such a short period of time. Boy, you did a good trade this time, right?"Luan Tian"s voice sounded out in Li Mu"s mind. He was extremely excited when he saw the Purple Cloud Wood and the blue sand stone.
"Seems like you"ve really considered relying on Forging Weapons to earn a living. If I were to buy these two ingredients myself, not to mention if I can find them, even if I encounter 200 to 300 crystal, I might not necessarily be able to do it."
After hanging the black leather pouch around his waist, Li Mu walked up the Weapon Forging Platform.
The Weapon Forging Platform was newly built, and the entire Forging Platform had collapsed due to Li Mu. After making up for it with some silver notes, the platform had now been restored by Zhou Xianguan, and there were even two Gold-ranked hammers on the platform. These were the hammers that Li Mu had used last time.
Everyone, today I will forge a common weapon for the Senior Sister Shen. Because the requirements of the Senior Sister Shen are high, I do not wish to hear anyone shouting during the process of forging a weapon, lest it affect my performance.
Li Mu cupped his hands towards the surrounding spectators and said with a serious look on his face. Everyone knew the severity of this matter, and all of them retreated a distance away, stopping their conversations.
"I hope the Senior Sister Shen will supervise them for a while, I will begin to take action!"Li Mu instructed Shen Cai Qing one more time, and after Shen Cai Qing nodded his head, Li Mu began to attack.
The fire inside the Weapon Forging Furnace burned extremely vigorously, and after Li Mu added quite a bit of Flame Nodus, the entire furnace became red, Li Mu took out the silver iron of five elements first.The silver iron of five elements was an extremely precious metal that was compatible with the five elements. Although it didn"t have any special characteristics, it had a very high compatibility with True Essence and its own material was also hard. It was one of the best materials used to forge weapons.
The Five Appearances Silver Iron that Shen Cai Qing brought was quite a lot, it was the size of an adult"s head. Li Mu caught a large piece of silver iron of five elements with a fire pincer and placed it inside the blazing fire furnace.
"Kid, when the silver iron of five elements is almost done, you should also put the Adhesive Steel and True Magnetic Crystal into the fire. These two materials are impressive, one will bring great benefits to the flexibility of ordinary weapons, while the other will create a magnetic force that will greatly increase the combat ability of ordinary weapons."
"I have to admit that Shen Cai Qing has some ideas, don"t worry, with me guiding you from the shadows, I promise to make you famous with this reputation, when that time comes, I guarantee that you won"t be able to earn so much from earning crystal, hahaha …"
Laughing complacently.
Li Mu naturally did not refute Luan Tian"s suggestion. Very quickly, the silver iron of five elements was burnt soft, its entire body looked like it was about to melt.Seeing this, Li Mu immediately put the True Magnetic Crystals and Sticky Steel into the furnace.
Different from silver iron of five elements, when True Magnetic Crystals and Adhesive Steel met high temperatures, they quickly softened. Li Mu moved both his hands, combining three b.a.l.l.s of materials that were burnt until they turned soft together.
"Hurry up and refine it now, and remove all the impurities. Be quick, this silver iron of five elements"s cooling rate is very fast!" He commanded in Li Mu"s mind.
"Rise!"
Li Mu flicked the fire pincer in his hand, and a silver object was thrown up. Immediately after, he put down the fire pincer and picked up the huge golden hammer with both hands.
"Clang!"Li Mu"s hammers clashed with the silver iron of five elements in the middle. The silver iron of five elements shriveled up from the fierce strike, turning into a ball of mud and became distorted.
The following scene widened everyone"s horizons. Li Mu once again merged the flurry hammer technique and the river crossing step together, and continuously used the gold-plated hammer to send the silver iron of five elements flying in the air. His entire body turned into a grey shadow, and he continuously changed directions."Such a fast movement technique, such a tyrannical hammer technique!"
Previously, when he heard that Li Mu had forged a Grade Eight Common Weapons, he wasn"t willing to believe it was real, because there was some luck involved in it. However, now that he had personally witnessed Li Mu"s methods, he had a whole new understanding of Li Mu.Be it the hammer technique Li Mu used or the movement skill he used, the Rahu had never seen it before.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn to burn, Li Mu stopped, and placed the slightly smaller silver iron of five elements back into the furnace. The reason why the silver iron of five elements was smaller, was because Li Mu had removed some of the impurities from it.
Soon after, Li Mu also put the Heavenly Spirit Crystal and the fossil into the furnace.
had long known about the use of Heavenly Spirit Crystals as a material, it was a valuable material from Heavenly Spirit City, it could greatly increase the toughness of normal weapons, and as for the creation of fossils, after a round of explanations, Li Mu knew clearly about its use, it was a material that could increase the sharpness of weapons, it was a commonly used by normal swords type of weapons, although it was not as precious as Heavenly Spirit Crystals, but there were also many people who could use it.
After the Heavenly Spirit Crystal and the Fossil Stone softened, Li Mu merged them into the silver iron of five elements. After the furnace was heated up, the silver iron of five elements softened again.
Under the guidance of Huntian, Li Mu almost exhausted all of his energy. In the end, after training to the eighth time, Li Mu ended the tempering process, and with one strike, he knocked the silver iron of five elements into the air, then threw down the sledgehammer in his hand and pulled out the partridge from his waist.
"Whoosh!"When the partridge left her body, Li Mu sliced the silver iron of five elements that was. .h.i.t by the gold-plated hammer into two halves. After that, she placed half of the silver iron of five elements back into the furnace and started to temper the other half of the silver iron of five elements with his hammer.
Clang! "Clang!"
The sound of iron clashing continuously sounded out. Under Li Mu"s extreme speed of hammering, half of the silver iron of five elements slowly turned into a sword shape, and quickly formed a rough sword shape."Brat, your hammer technique is becoming more and more proficient. Not bad, not bad. You really are a material for a Forge Soldier. Hurry up and put this shaped sword in the furnace to continue practicing. Then, forge the other half of the material into a sword!"
Luan Tian praised as he reminded Li Mu.
Li Mu followed Luan Tian"s instructions and placed the sword in his hand into the fire, following that, he took out the other half of the silver iron of five elements that was already red and started another round of tempering.Not long after, the other sword blade also successfully formed, causing Shen Cai Qing, who was watching anxiously from not too far away, to be filled with excitement.
Mu Xiaozi, now is the time to test your flurry hammer technique, you have to remember, you must definitely succeed in one go, you cannot be careless at all, if not, at least the ranks of the weapons will drop, and if not, if not, all the efforts will go to waste, you have to remember this!
After the forging was done, Luan Tian spoke with a serious tone. It wasn"t just him; everyone present started to become nervous. Most of the people here were Forge Masters, so they naturally knew what they were going to do next.
"Senior Sister Shen, you must remember not to distract me, otherwise I won"t be able to guarantee the quality of your weapons!"Li Mu reminded Shen Cai Qing once again, after taking a deep breath, he picked up a red-hot sword blade from the furnace and activated flurry hammer technique once again.
"Clang!"
Li Mu"s body was agile like a spirit ape. His body moved around as he waved both his hammers continuously, and under the effect of the hammers, the silver sword became more and more fine, from the original rough shape of the sword to a more detailed form.
"Chaotic Dance of the Wind!"Li Mu roared in his heart, he had activated the river crossing step to its limit, and his entire body seemed to have instantly turned into four, standing in four different directions, continuously striking the silver sword blade. This was because his speed had reached its limit, and his body"s speed was so fast that even his afterimage was left behind, causing the spectators to cover their mouths in excitement, afraid that they would let out sounds that would distract Li Mu.
"Now is the time! Hurry up and use the Refinement Liquid to temper your soldiers!"did not dare to hesitate at all when he heard it. With a twist of the gold-plated hammer in his hand, he struck the longsword in the color flying and landed it directly into the copper vat that contained the weapon tempering liquid.
"Sizzle …"A sizzling sound could be heard from within the copper vat containing the quenching water. Soon after, a layer of white mist rose into the air.
Li Mu put down the twin hammers in his hands, and somewhat nervously walked to the copper vat, and took out the first mortal weapon that he had truly forged.
The silver longsword"s edge was three feet long, the sword hilt one foot and three inches long, the sword blade was two inches wide, and the sword body was extremely thin, as though it was made of a layer of ice. Li Mu held onto the silver sword, and felt like it was stronger than the partridge s.
"How"s Junior Brother Li! "What is the grade of this sword?"Looking at the sword in Li Mu"s hand, Shen Cai Qing asked excitedly. Luo Hu"s interest was also raised, as he stared at Li Mu and the sword in his hands with a serious expression.
Li Mu did not say anything, he carefully looked at the silver sword for a few moments, and then activated the True Essence in his body and injected it into the silver sword.
The silver longsword, under the infusion of Li Mu"s True Essence, increased in size and released a blinding light.
"AHH!"
Li Mu bellowed, the sword in his hand aimed at the corner of the bronze table and fiercely slashed.
Without a sound or trace, a silver light flashed, and a corner of the bronze table fell to the ground. The broken part was extremely smooth and flawless, just like the surface of a mirror.
