The Xu family is in a precarious situation. Without the weapon refining workshop, the Xu family's status will plummet and they will be reduced to a second-rate family, and will soon be annexed by the other three families.
Xu Yilin was kind to him, and he was the son-in-law of the Xu family, so he couldn't just sit back and watch.
The ordinary method of training weapon refiners was too slow, and by the time the Xu family recovered, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Once market share is lost, it is difficult to regain it.
"Uncle, are you kidding me? I have always dreamed of becoming a master of weapon training."
The business was not good, so all the craftsmen, including the apprentices, took a break, but Hu Shi persisted every day. This character alone was worthy of Liu Wuxie's training.
"Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I can help you become a master of weapon refining."
After all, Liu Wuxie cannot stay in Canglan City forever, Lingyun Immortal Realm is his goal.
"Uncle, please stop teasing me. Whatever you want to refine, I'll help you."
Hu Shicheng made a joke to listen to. The last time Liu Wuxie came, the weapon refining workshop was unable to open for several days. How dare he let him refine weapons again.
Liu Wuxie didn't force him. In everyone's eyes, he had always been a waste. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe it. Actions are the best proof.
"Hu Shi, hold the fire!"
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie gained an indescribable aura, her eyes became extremely firm, she took out a piece of meteorite and threw it into the furnace.
Hu Shi did not dare to neglect, and twitched the bellows with his right hand. The black ore in the furnace gave off a scorching light, and the temperature was extremely high, so he had to take off his coat.
To refine weapons, the meteorite iron must first be dissolved, poured into a mold, and forged.
Weapon refining is divided into three stages, the lowest level is called Ten Refining, which is for some common utensils and is roughly made, such as some hoes, rakes and other common civilian tools.
The second type is hundreds of times of refinement, which is more difficult. This is what it means to be tempered thousands of times. The weapons that are tempered are extremely sharp and tougher than ten times of tempering. The requirements for meteorite iron are also very high.
The most difficult thing is Thousand Refining. In the entire Canglan City, there is no weapon refining master who can achieve Thousand Refining Technique.
After hundreds of smelting, the fine iron is formed and then dissolved, which is very difficult. Even if the dissolution is successful, after being poured into the mold, the hardness will increase, making it impossible for ordinary people to temper it and create the desired form.
Most of the weapons on the market are still in the hundred-refining stage, which is a watershed.
The Xu family has a unique method of refining weapons. Refining ordinary weapons can make them sharper. This is the main reason why the Xu family's weapons have been selling well.
Liu Wuxie didn't like ordinary Bailian weapons, so he started to make the best long sword by himself.
It would take some time for the meteorite to dissolve. Liu Wuxie walked over to the mold. Most of them were swords, which were not what he wanted. He needed to carve a new mold by himself.
He took out his tools and carved out a long knife mold according to the pattern drawn in his brain in advance. At this time, the meteorite iron in the furnace had almost melted, and some iron juice splashed out from the red molten iron.
It fell on the edge of the stove and many burns on Hu Shi's arms were caused by the iron juice.
"Uncle, there are too many meteorite irons, enough to make three long knives."
I had long heard that Liu Wuxie was a famous prodigal, and when I saw it today, it was indeed true. Hu Shi felt distressed because so much meteorite iron had melted, and it was more than enough to build three weapons.
"You don't understand this. You have to record the entire process of my refining. It will be helpful to you in the future."
Pour all the iron juice into the mold, put it in cold water, cool it down quickly, and put it on the horn iron pier. Liu Wuxie is naked to the upper body. After being soaked in the quenching liquid, her physical strength is infinite. She is holding a hundred-jin sledgehammer, and Hu Shi is holding it.
A ten-pound hammer.
"Da da da……"
One by one, they repeatedly hit the unformed knife.
After beating a hundred times, put the knife into the furnace, continue to calcine, knead, and pull it out to continue beating.
Over and over again, Hu Shi went from disbelief at the beginning to shock and numbness. He could no longer describe his mood at this moment. Who did my uncle learn his weapon refining skills from?
Half an hour passed...
An hour passed...
Liu Wuxie worked tirelessly and compressed the tool from more than one meter long to about half a meter, with the precision increased tenfold.
"Uncle, we can't continue to temper. We have already exceeded a hundred tempers. If we continue like this, the tool will not be able to take shape and will definitely be scrapped."
Hu Shi felt sorry for those few pieces of fine meteorite iron. It was a pity to waste them. They had already been refined for more than a hundred times, so there was little point in continuing to beat them.
Xu is a famous weapon refining expert. Over the years, he has been trying to see if he can make new breakthroughs after more than a hundred refinings, but he has failed.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Hu Shi continued to throw the half-finished knife into the stove. In desperation, Hu Shi had to turn on the bellows. There was no open flame, but the black ore could make a hissing sound, and the knife turned red again.
"Hu Shi, eat this."
The next thing is the most important. After exercising continuously for an hour, Hu Shi's physical strength was extremely exhausted.
Take out a heavenly elixir and ask him to swallow it. He can't stop for the next moment. If there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
"This is... what kind of elixir is this? It has such a rich aroma."
How could Hu Shi afford such a high-end elixir? There was a hint of surprise on his face. He was a little confused by the uncle in front of him.
"Just eat it."
Liu Wuxie also took out one and ate it in one gulp. The consumed energy was restored instantly and her strength was full. There was a vague tendency to break through to the acquired sixth level. This was a good sign.
The true energy was constantly depleted, and after being compressed, its purity continued to increase. Liu Wuxie was still unwilling to break through, and wanted to squeeze out all the potential of this body.
After taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill in one bite, Hu Shi's body felt as if he was bathing in the soft sunshine, feeling comfortable and comfortable. There was a clicking sound coming from his body, and he broke through to the sixth level of the day after tomorrow. This made him overjoyed. This small pill shortened his days.
Months of hard work.
He has been stuck in the fifth level of the acquired world for a long time, and has never had a chance. It is a matter of course. Without the heavenly elixir, he will break through in a day or two at most.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Hu Shi bent down to salute, just kneeling down. The respect he showed him just now was out of the distinction between master and servant, but this time it came from the bottom of his heart.
"Next, we have to forge a stick of incense continuously without stopping for a moment. I'm also worried that your physical strength will not be able to keep up. There will be a greater chance of breaking through to the acquired sixth level."
Explain to Hu Shi that it is very difficult to create a thousand-refined weapon in the Houtian realm. Liu Wuxie plans to carve spiritual patterns to integrate the weapon with spirituality. This is the most critical point.
The Houtian realm uses ordinary weapons, mostly Hundred Refiners. When reaching the Xiantian realm, the true energy increases sharply. Mortal weapons cannot carry too much true energy and need spiritual weapons to support them. No one in Canglan City can refine spiritual weapons. Only the Imperial City can.
There are weapon refiners who can do it.
Each spiritual weapon is valuable, and there are no more than five spiritual weapons in Canglan City.
The knife turned dark red, Liu Wuxie quickly pulled it out, holding the carving knife in his hand, and carved strange patterns on the blade. Hu Shi was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Liu Wuxie seemed to be possessed by a god. Every movement was smooth and flowing, and every time the knife fell, a lifelike mark was left on the knife, and the unformed long knife exuded a faint spirituality.
As an apprentice of a weapon refiner, of course he knows the importance of spirituality. Being able to refine weapons with spirituality is enough to sweep across the entire Canglan City.
Hu Shi felt the urge to worship, his right hand trembled, and the hammer in his hand almost fell and hit his foot.
"start!"
At the fifth level of acquired life, the true energy is limited. Liu Wuxie can carve up to ten spirit patterns at most, which is already the limit. If he wants to reach the level of a spiritual weapon, he needs to carve a hundred spirit patterns. His realm is too low to last until the end, so he has to do
stop.
The hammer in Hu Shi's hand hit hard, and a strong counter-shock force almost knocked the hammer away in his hand. After being blessed with spiritual patterns, the half-finished blade seemed to be countless times harder.
Liu Wuxie held a 100-pound sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it down hard, causing fire to fly everywhere. Hu Shi quickly calmed down, not daring to think too much, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the weapon.
This is the best weapon he has refined so far. As long as he succeeds, his weapon refining skills will be a qualitative leap, and it is possible to become a weapon refining master.
Da da da……
A series of dense sounds sounded in the refining room, and no one paid attention here.
Liu Wuxie's long sword was at a critical moment. A group of uninvited guests came to the weapon refining workshop, and a group of people became aggressive.
"Call your manager. Your Xu family actually sold us inferior weapons, which caused several of our brothers to die in the mountains. If your Xu family doesn't give you an explanation today, we will destroy the weapon refining workshop."
There are ten people in total, all of them are fierce and fierce, and each of them is of high strength. They are all at the eighth level of acquired life. They should be a mercenary group in Canglan City.
They wander around the edge of life and death all year round, entering the mountains to hunt monsters and obtain inner elixirs to earn gold coins. Thirty percent of the Xu family's weapons are sold to these mercenary groups, which consumes a lot of their weapons.
"I am the manager here. How can I help you?"
Dong Changliang stood up and hurriedly greeted him. The other servants stood up one after another and opened their sleepy eyes.
"Who do you think you are? Let your Xu family have the final say to discuss it."
He slapped Dong Changliang on the face without mercy, and knocked him away with one palm. He smashed him into the counter and spit out a large mouthful of blood. Half of his face was swollen. These people were too overbearing and would hurt people when they came up.
