"Only after the four fires annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering, the sword will become hard and sharp, and at the same time extremely tough. Among them, quenching is the most critical. If you don't control it well, the sword will be useless. Moreover, different sword materials have their own best quenching solutions. The higher the sword materials, the more rare the suitable quenching solutions are."

"This sword is forged from cloud steel and black iron. The cold spring in the sword cabinet is its best quenching solution." Mei Qixin said as he suddenly inserted the burning red and transparent sword blank into the spring. The spring water around the sword blank suddenly boiled, but no trace of heat came out.

The cold spring in Zhujian Pavilion is the source of the mountain spring in the courtyard outside. This cold spring is quite strange, biting cold but never freezes, and I don’t know where it came out.

After burning four fires, the sword body was finally completed. The following processes such as cold forging, plastic surgery, edge opening, polishing, polishing, and light cultivation are mainly for beauty and do not affect the quality and performance of the sword. As long as you are patient and slow to work hard, you will be fine.

The sword body is completed, and then there are the sword grid, the sword hilt, the sword eye, and the sword pier.

The sword grid is commonly known as the handguard. Its function is to prevent the opponent's long sword from being cut down along the sword body and slashing the fingers and arms. So as long as it is hard enough, it is enough. Mei Qixin used black iron to forge the sword grid as a whole.

"If the opponent's sword can easily cut through the black iron, it means that his sword is much higher in quality. This is a battle that is not on the same level at all. Either admit defeat or escape."

Mei Qixin uses red sandalwood for the hilt of the sword. Red sandalwood grows slowly and cannot be made into a material for hundreds of years. It is extremely difficult to obtain large materials. The wood is hard and dense, suitable for carving various exquisite patterns. The texture is slender and floating, with endless variations, deep tones, stable and generous. It is regarded as the best among wood, and there is a saying that "one inch of red sandalwood is one inch of gold".

The sword eye is the second important part besides the first sword body. Only a very small number of gems can be used as sword eye as a bridge between the sword master and the sword.

Mei Qixin took out a light brown gem from a treasure box and inlaid it on the hilt of the sword. As the light changes, a very spiritual light jumps from the gem.

"This is a tiger's eye stone. This bean-sized one has become worth thousands of crystals." Mei Aoxue said behind Ou Chuyang. When Ou Chuyang came to learn the way of making swords, she naturally "speaks with her husband and wife."

The last part: Jiandun. In Ou Chuyang's impression, this thing has no use at all. It seems to be just used as decoration to make the entire long sword look more complete and coordinated.

But Ou Chuyang was wrong, and it was very wrong. The first function of the sword pier is the counterweight. If there is no sword pier, the center of gravity of a long sword will be in the middle of the sword body, which will be very heavy when swung, affecting the flexibility of the sword. Therefore, the sword pier is very heavy. After being connected to the hilt, the center of gravity of the sword will shift to the hilt, increasing the flexibility of the sword.

The second function is even more critical. Ou Chuyang has seen it. When Mu Chenyu "transformed" all the items he bought into the long sword, the secret was on the sword pier. When casting the sword pier, Mei Qixin mixed more than a dozen colorless and transparent crystal powders into it.

"This is a secret treasure with the effect of space storage, chaotic dust. Each particle of powder can be refined into a unique space of one foot in a radius, worth hundreds of crystals." Mei Aoxue explained in detail conscientiously.

"Yeah, yeah." Ou Chuyang nodded repeatedly, "This sword is full of treasures, I have truly seen what a sword is." This powder is worth thousands of crystals, and that gem is worth thousands of crystals... In this way, Mu Wanqing bought the good treasure utensil for seven thousand crystals.

Mei Qixin held the freshly baked sword and pulled two sword flowers. The cold shadows were filled with silver lights, which were amazingly powerful.

"Congratulations to my father! I have cast a great treasure again." Mei Aoxue snuggled obediently beside Mei Qixin and said coquettishly: "Look at the sword that Ou Chuyang used is just a rare craftsmanship tool. Taking it out is simply a humiliating my reputation as the Qianyuan Sect Sword Forging Pavilion... Anyway, this sword has just been cast, and it is not named or master, so why not let Ou Chuyang take it first..."

Ou Chuyang was sweating all over his face... The senior sister started to move things to him from her parents' home...

"Before you got married, you started to love you?" Mei Qixin smiled, "A masterpiece of treasure is worth at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Did you ask Ou Chuyang to take him out, but didn't you plan to let him come back alive?"

"With me by his side, who else dares to kill someone and grab the sword?" Mei Aoxue said arrogantly.

"Are you following him all the time every year?"

Without waiting for Mei Aoxue to answer, Ou Chuyang said first: "Thank you for your kindness. Since I have followed my master to study the way of making swords, then in this life, I, Ou Chuyang, only use the swords I forged by myself!"

"Well, this is like a sword-casting master." Mei Qixin nodded in praise, becoming more and more satisfied with Ou Chuyang, whether as his disciple or "prospective son-in-law".

When the sword is made, a scabbard must be tailored for it. The scabbard consists of four parts: the sheath mouth, the sheath body, the guard ring, and the sword mark.

In order to maintain the overall beauty of the sword, the sheath is generally made of the same material as the hilt of the sword, so the scabbard of this sword is also made of red sandalwood, which is calm and grand without losing its luxury.

In addition to the functions of sacrificing swords and decorative, the scabbards in this world also have their core effect: warming the sword. This core effect is accomplished by the sheath mouth, sword mark and two guard rings.

Mei Qixin handed Ou Chuyang a roll of ancient silk with several complex and mysterious patterns embroidered on it. Ou Chuyang remembers that he had seen it in "Sword Classic".

"This is the sword spirit array that can absorb the essence of the sword energy of heaven and earth to nourish the sword and nurture the sword soul."

"Sword Soul?" Ou Chuyang asked in surprise.

"That's all a legendary thing, and most people can't touch that level at all." Mei Qixin carefully carved the sheath mouth made by Wu Jin, "No, since the "Sword Book" records this sword spirit array, it must be reasonable. The sword-casting masters all carved it on the scabbard according to the seal."

Finally, after the sword mark with a valve is installed on the top of the scabbard, this excellent treasure is basically completed. In the end, there are two steps left:

First, name and engrave the sword name at the root of the sword body. Some sword-casting masters will also engrave their names on the other side.

Second, consecrate, fast, bathe, burn incense and pray, sacrifice the sword with blood. Pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, jackals, tigers and leopards can all be sacrificed. Some cruel people even use living people to perform blood sacrifices.

Mei Qixin and his daughter both had their own swords that they had been with for many years. Ou Chuyang planned to make his own sword, so the two steps of naming and consecration were waiting for the future owner of the sword to complete.

When the sword was cast, Mei Qixin also used up all his sword energy and energy, and went into seclusion as soon as he came out of the sword-making hall. Mei Aoxue said that Mei Qixin would never make swords again this year.

Ou Chuyang is self-aware and wants to make a sword alone, his timing is far from being good. The most urgent task is to improve his sword cultivation and break through to the Sword Master.
