Chapter 96 Innovation
I saw that Master Lin Yuxuan had a very calm expression on his face, and he used his hand gestures again to slowly solidify the black liquid metal.
In Lan Xin's opinion, the dagger formed this time was no different from the previous one.
The real fire underneath was burning even more vigorously, as if it wanted to burn the formed dagger again, and it burned with all its strength.
But this time, even though the dagger was burned all over and turned red, it did not melt again. Instead, some black particles were shaken off from the red body. Needless to say, it goes without saying that these are impurities in the metal.
In this way, fewer and fewer black crumbs are shaken off, until no more black crumbs fall down.
Lan Xin also understood that the impurities had been almost removed. Sure enough, she saw a smile on the master's face. He closed his eyes and began to use his Yuan energy to carve the handle and the edge of the dagger.
The Yuan Power was condensed into a golden thread, which was drawn across the dagger.
Like a powerful judge, the place where the thread was drawn was cut. The excess part fell to the ground like discarded garbage.
After the excess part of the golden silk thread was removed, a pattern began to be carved on the handle of the dagger, and a beautiful peony flower was carved.
After a while, the golden thread was withdrawn by the master. The flame of the real flint slowly extinguished, and the dagger that had given out a cold light truly revealed its true face in Lushan.
The master collected the real flint, took the refined dagger with his hand, and said with a smile: "Xin'er, what do you think?"
Lan Xin watched her master's weapon refining process and saw with her own eyes the process of turning a piece of black metal into a dagger. Naturally, she became more interested in weapon refining.
She asked directly: "Master, I don't understand why you want to melt the dagger when it was already formed the first time?"
"Well... actually refining the weapon is not as simple as you see. I just refined the simplest primary weapon. This dagger has only one attribute: it is not stained with blood.
We weapon refiners are divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels... Of course, there are also legendary god-level ones, but I have never seen them. The so-called weapons are also divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, and god-level.
Primary weapons generally have one attribute, intermediate weapons generally have two attributes, and advanced weapons are generally called Horcruxes. The so-called Horcrux means that once the owner encounters something unexpected, it can store part of the owner's soul for a certain period of time."
Master Lin Yuxuan saw Lan Xin listening attentively, paused and said: "Not everyone can become a weapon refiner, some will only be a weapon refiner apprentice their whole life. So as long as you become a junior weapon refiner,
You can get certificates and receive some benefits in the empire. Xin'er, I've said so much, how much can you understand?"
Lin Yuxuan felt helpless when he saw Lan Xin's half-understood look. He had never been a teacher or had a disciple.
Even though I am a senior weapon refiner now, I don't know how to teach, and I have no experience in teaching others. I have to tell a child a lot, but I don't know how much she will understand.
Lan Xin thought about it carefully, and then replied uncertainly: "Master, do you mean to say that the purpose of melting the newly formed weapon and refining it is to give it attributes? So that it can become a primary weapon.
?”
"Yes, yes..." Lin Yuxuan quickly confirmed her answer. Fortunately, this young apprentice has a very good understanding, otherwise he, a half-hearted teacher, would have a headache how to teach others.
"Go on." Lin Yuxuan encouraged Lan Xin to continue.
"At first, the disciple felt that weapon refining was very similar to folk blacksmithing. But when I carefully recalled the master's weapon refining process, I always felt that weapon refining was more noble. Blacksmithing relies on skill and strength, while weapon refining relies on understanding and energy.
.”
Lan Xin was encouraged and felt that she had found the feeling and expressed her thoughts fluently.
"Most of what you said is right. If you want to achieve success in weapon refining, you need a good teacher, a lot of practice, and deep Yuanli." Lin Yuxuan agreed.
"Xin'er, I have prepared a hundred basic dagger materials here. You can practice on your own first." Lin Yuxuan pointed to a large pile of black metal in the box at the back and said to Lan Xin.
"Okay, Master. I will practice hard." Lan Xin was suddenly happy and eager to try.
"Okay, you practice first, Xingyun is waiting for me to teach him embroidery." Lin Yuxuan said with a smile and left.
Lan Xin also quickly sat down, imitating the master's behavior and put the real flint on the stove, and used her energy to control the metal raw materials to stop on the flame and start refining.
She actually likes the teacher's teaching method. She doesn't like the long lectures and boring theories from the beginning, which are really discouraging.
The master first demonstrated the process of refining primary weapons. This magical technique and the promising future of the weapon refiner naturally made people more motivated.
After all, I am not a child in the true sense, and I prefer more practical things.
Yuan Zhen, the great sage who had just returned from outside, was also very pleased to see the husband Lin Yuxuan and Xing Yun discussing the male workers in the pavilion.
Although my husband is a senior weapon refiner, he has always practiced on his own and has no experience in teaching students.
In her opinion, there is absolutely no need for the young master to spend a lot of time learning to refine weapons.
Moreover, the most important thing about weapon refining is that it requires an experienced teacher to lead you in. Therefore, for a young master with a child's mind, he will give up soon.
Sure enough, Lan Xin spent four or five parts of metal raw materials and refined nothing.
Looking back again, I saw the dagger that my master had already forged, and a cold light began to appear.
I was extremely frustrated. Do I really have no talent in weapon refining?
Poor Lan Xin had no idea that her weapon-making teacher, Lin Yuxuan, had no teaching qualification certificate at all, and even a senior luthier like Lan Cheng'er had to take the exam for a luthier's training certificate.
She refused to admit defeat, thinking that her master had just confirmed the difference between blacksmithing and weapon refining.
She remembered that she had heard people laugh at her before, saying that uninitiated weapon-making apprentices were the same as blacksmiths.
Then let’s start with blacksmithing. Although it’s not good enough to make weapons, it’s still possible to make a dagger mold from metal raw materials.
First, use real flint to burn the metal raw material into a pool of black liquid. After the flame is extinguished, the liquid will slowly solidify.
He placed the dagger that the master had refined on it and pressed it in gently. Sure enough, after a while, a mark that looked like a dagger appeared.
When the mold is solidified, pour in the black liquid that has been refined again, and this time put the mold on the fire.
Carefully control the black liquid in the mold, and then carefully carve it with Yuanli. Sure enough, a dagger can be removed in a short while.
Next it’s time to witness the miracle.
