Doing hard work is nothing to Su Xiaofan, he has been used to it since he was a child.
Her mother passed away early, her father was away from home all year round, and her grandfather was not in good health. Su Xiaofan used to take care of the two acres of land at home after school.
Later, he learned to make bronze ware, which was also a laborious job, involving making embryos and striking iron. When Su Xiaofan was in his teens, his hand strength was not as strong as usual.
Placing the Sky Thunder Stone on a large steel ingot in the middle of the room, Su Xiaofan raised the hammer and struck it hard on the Sky Thunder Stone.
The Thunder Gold Essence extracted from the Sky Thunder Stone is suitable for refining weapons. This does not mean that the Sky Thunder Stone itself is very strong. At best, it is just a stone with minerals.
With the help of Su Xiaofan's random cloak hammering skills, the nearly one ton thunder stone turned into rubble on the ground.
Su Xiaofan picked up some gravel and stuffed it into the smelting furnace. After almost a hundred kilograms of rubble was stuffed, Su Xiaofan stopped and turned around to think about the ground fire switch.
In fact, the operation of the underground fire outlet is quite simple. Several joysticks should be connected to underground valves to control the amount of underground fire.
Su Xiaofan didn't want to bother, so he came up and opened the valve that caused the biggest fire.
I saw a steel plate at the exit shrinking inward, and a ball of flames burst out from the ground.
The fires Su Xiaofan had seen before were all red, otherwise why would there be a word called fiery red?
But the ground fire that sprang out from the fire outlet was blue, and the color was a little purple. Although it was still three or four meters away from the fire outlet, Su Xiaofan could still feel the scorching heat.
Moreover, this fire gave Su Xiaofan an extremely dangerous feeling. Su Xiaofan immediately understood in his heart that this fire could definitely threaten his life.
The ground fire will automatically burn the smelting furnace above. The smelting furnace itself is made of an extremely heat-resistant material, and a lot of high-tech materials are added. Even at high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, the smelting furnace itself
Will not be melted.
Su Xiaofan only needs to wait aside. After reaching a certain temperature, the thunder stone in the smelting furnace will dissolve and decompose all the metal substances inside.
At this high temperature, those metals will also be turned into liquid, and then flow out from a hole like a spout of the smelting furnace. As for some impurities in the Tianlei Stone, they will be vaporized directly in the smelting furnace and be photographed.
Expelled.
This smelting furnace is a hundred times more advanced than the method of lighting firewood to melt the bronze when Su Xiaofan made bronze, so Su Xiaofan basically didn't have to worry about it.
Twenty minutes later, Su Xiaofan saw a fiery red liquid starting to flow out from the spout of the smelting furnace.
No matter what kind of steel it is, it will always be this color after melting. The liquid passes through a conveyor belt and flows directly into a groove on the workbench.
There was just a thin layer flowing under the groove, and the metallic liquid smelted from more than one hundred kilograms of Tianlei Stone had finished flowing.
Su Xiaofan was not busy looking at the metal that was gradually solidifying. Instead, he closed the fire outlet and then operated the smelting furnace to pour all the residue inside into the corner.
These are all automatically operated by a set of computer processes. Su Xiaofan only needs to press a few buttons. After he finishes refining the weapon, someone will naturally come in to clean it.
Su Xiaofan didn't know what kind of material this smelting furnace was made of. It cooled down quickly as soon as it left the ground fire.
After stuffing more than a hundred kilograms of Thunder Stone inside, Su Xiaofan repeated the operation just now.
Only more than a hundred kilograms can be smelted at a time. By the time the six to seven hundred kilograms of thunderstones are smelted, most of the day has passed.
From the groove of the workbench, I took out the result of most of the day's work. It was a piece of black metal weighing more than ten kilograms. If I looked closely, I saw that there seemed to be a faint golden luster in the metal.
"This should be Lei Jin."
Su Xiaofan looked at this piece of Thunder Gold dumbfounded. This was what the ancestor of the Sword Sect was talking about before, but his own system happened to purify the Thunder Gold Essence, so he had to come here to show off his acting skills.
Su Xiaofan thought for a moment, and simply took out the remaining piece of Thunder Gold Essence from his personal bag, and performed a complete act to make it feel real.
Throwing the piece of Thunder Gold Essence, which weighed only two to three hundred grams, into the smelting furnace, Su Xiaofan turned on the ground fire again.
This time it took more than an hour to burn, and even the smelting furnace was almost transparent, and a thin stream of metallic liquid flowed out.
Su Xiaofan let the golden water formed by the Thunder Gold Essence flow into the groove, placed the piece of Thunder Gold on the workbench, then lifted the Dragon Broken Stone and opened the stone door.
"Junior Brother Su, why did you come out so quickly?" Wen Wenming, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating outside, heard the noise and immediately opened his eyes.
"It's a bit boring, let's come out and take a breath."
Su Xiaofan smiled and shook his head, and said: "Junior brother, I still don't have enough concentration. I feel a little uncomfortable in that closed space. Come out and take a breath before continuing."
"You don't have cabin fever, do you?"
Wen Wenming looked at Su Xiaofan and said: "This cabin fever has nothing to do with advanced cultivation. Some people will feel anxious and fearful in a sealed environment. I have a nephew who has this disease."
"Senior Brother Wen, it's not as exaggerated as you said."
Su Xiaofan laughed bitterly when he heard this, "I was a little close to the fire just now. I was burned by the fire. I just feel a little stuffy. What does it have to do with cabin fever?"
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Hearing this, Wen Wenming quickly stood up and said, "I forgot to remind you, don't get too close to the ground fire. The ground fire above 7,000 degrees can turn us all into gas..."
"No injuries, just roasted."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and said: "Brother, do you have anything to eat? Since you are out, let's eat something before going in."
"With your current level of cultivation, do you still need to eat after three to five days?"
Wen Wenming said with some confusion: "You are about to reach the realm of Bigu, and you have the Bigu Pill I gave you. Why are you hungry so quickly?"
"Hey, senior brother, what does this have to do with whether you are hungry or not?"
Su Xiaofan opened his mouth and said: "Eating is for the enjoyment of delicious food and the enjoyment of the taste buds on the tip of the tongue. We can't become cultivators and just give up all the seven emotions and six desires, right?"
"Junior Brother Su, you, who has not released your true yang, want to talk to me about the seven emotions and six desires?"
Wen Wenming looked at Su Xiaofan with a half-smile, "Senior Brother, I have a grandson after all. Junior Brother Su, please find a Taoist companion first, hahaha..."
"I'm talking about appetite. Senior brother, how long has it been since you went out to eat in a restaurant?"
Su Xiaofan curled his lips and was looked down upon again, "Only when you taste delicious food in your mouth can you feel the beauty of life, otherwise what's the point of living for such a long time."
"What you said is true. Practitioners can't just practice hard. I'll go find a restaurant and have a good meal later."
Wen Wenming nodded, having lived to his age and seeing things more clearly than Su Xiaofan, he naturally knew the meaning of Su Xiaofan's words.
"How's your refining of the flying sword embryo going?"
Wen Wenming asked casually, but in refining the natal flying sword, others are not allowed to interfere, or even watch, so Wen Wenming just mentioned it.
"I'm still refining thunder gold. I took the refined thunder gold and refined it again to get some other metals."
Su Xiaofan said seemingly unintentionally: "That material seems better. I will refine the remaining thunder gold into that metal later and start refining the flying sword."
"Oh? The metal made from Lei Jin?"
Wen Wenming was stunned for a moment when he heard this. As far as he knew, Lei Jin was already the best material for refining the natal flying sword, but he didn't know the metal that was then purified.
"Okay, senior brother, I'm going in. Thank you for your hard work."
Su Xiaofan didn't give Wen Wenming a chance to see the metal, and walked into the weapon refining room while talking.
"This kid, are you still guarding me?"
Wen Wenming saw Su Xiaofan's actions and immediately burst into laughter. However, refining a flying sword is related to a sword cultivator's wealth and life.
Just like the formation engraved on the flying sword, whether it is offensive or auxiliary, whether it is fast or sharp, it is all very particular. The less others know about it, the less likely it is.
However, Wenming didn't know that Su Xiaofan's flying sword had no formation engraved on it at all.
The Void Flying Sword is born with three qualities. One is that it is fast. It is so fast that it can come and go without leaving a trace like electricity generated in the void.
Another feature is that it is sharp. It can be said that the defensive artifacts under the high-grade treasures can break through the void, so they can be said to be indestructible.
The last feature is naturally the power of thunder and lightning in the flying sword.
This power of thunder and lightning can not only strengthen Su Xiaofan's physical body, but also trigger the sound of wind and thunder to frighten the opponent when fighting against him.
Moreover, after the flying sword hits the opponent, even if it does not hit the vital point, the power of thunder and lightning can make its body stiff and slow in movement.
Usually if a formation can be successfully engraved on a flying sword, it can be regarded as a top-grade flying sword weapon.
If there is a master of weapon training who can carve two formations, the one that is not even close will be the best flying sword weapon. If you are lucky, you may be able to refine a treasure weapon.
Like the Void Flying Sword, it can be refined with three practical formation effects, and its power is even much greater than ordinary high-grade treasures.
That is to say, Void does not have a weapon spirit now, otherwise the level will never be lower than the spiritual weapon. Whether it can be strengthened into a spiritual weapon by following Su Xiaofan in the future depends on Void's fortune.
After closing the stone door of the refining room and putting down the Dragon Breaking Stone, Su Xiaofan started to get busy again.
Su Xiaofan was also helpless. Sometimes a lie requires countless lies to cover up.
But he really couldn't explain the matter of repairing the system clearly, and he couldn't talk about it. If he wasn't strong enough, he could only do it through acting.
Su Xiaofan put all the more than ten kilograms of thunder gold into the smelting furnace, then turned on the ground fire and adjusted the fire temperature to the highest level.
The almost purple flame gave Su Xiaofan an extremely dangerous feeling.
Under the burning of this flame, the smelting furnace turned red and almost transparent in less than half an hour. I don't know how high the temperature inside would be.
I don’t know what this smelting furnace was made of. Even in this case, it was not damaged, but no molten metal liquid flowed out.
Su Xiaofan was very patient, threw a Bigu Pill into his mouth, and simply started meditating.
The taste of Bigu Dan is a bit like fried soybeans. It is crunchy and crunchy in the mouth, but it melts in the mouth. After a while, a feeling of fullness is felt in the body.
Su Xiaofan didn't care, he just had a taste.
Immersing his mind in cultivation, the true energy in Su Xiaofan's body has been completely transformed into true essence.
The true energy flows in Su Xiaofan's limbs and bones. It seems gentle, but in fact it contains extremely powerful power.
As long as Su Xiaofan is willing, he can break through the Yintang point between the eyebrows at any time, open up the sea of consciousness, and break through to the realm of Yin Shen leaving the body.
However, according to what the ancestor of the Sword Sect said, when you break through the realm, it will be of great benefit to your spiritual consciousness to communicate with the sword embryo, so Su Xiaofan is not in a hurry.
Moreover, he also promised his ancestor that he would make a breakthrough in the Sword Sect. After the script here is finished, Su Xiaofan will go to the Sword Sect's station.
About three or four hours later, Su Xiaofan, who was practicing, suddenly heard a "tick" sound and immediately opened his eyes.
After four or five hours of calcination, the thunder gold finally changed, and drops of thunder gold essence dripped into the grooves on the workbench in liquid form.
This process lasted for about an hour. Su Xiaofan waited for another half an hour and saw that there was no more thunder gold essence dripping, and then turned off the ground fire.
"It's almost the same as the system-purified Thunder Gold Essence."
After carefully observing the Thunder Gold Essence extracted from Thunder Gold and comparing it with the previously melted Thunder Gold Essence, Su Xiaofan found no difference.
"No, the lightning power in the thunder gold essence that has been refined in the smelting furnace seems to be much weaker."
When Su Xiaofan looked again with his spiritual consciousness, he discovered the problem.
Compared with the Thunder Gold Essence purified by the system, the smelted Thunder Gold Essence contains a trace of thunder and lightning power. If it is taken into the body, it may have a great tonic effect on nourishing the physical body.
Six to seven hundred kilograms of Thunder Stone and more than ten kilograms of Thunder Gold were extracted, and a total of more than 400 Thunder Gold Essence was extracted, which together with what Su Xiaofan had left before, was more than one tael.
Su Xiaofan has no use for these two thunder gold essences, but they can be sold at a good price.
Su Xiaofan, who has studied the art of refining weapons, knows that many materials can be blended together. If an ordinary flying sword is blended with a little thunder gold essence, the quality will definitely be improved a lot.
As for why there are these thunder gold essences left, Su Xiaofan naturally has an explanation. From more than ten kilograms of thunder gold, one pound of thunder gold essence was extracted. He used one kilogram, and there was nothing strange about the remaining one or two.
Even Senior Brother Wen didn't know about the existence of Thunder Gold Spirit, and Su Xiaofan guessed that the ancestor didn't know either. Not everyone can get so many Thunder Stones from the Death Forbidden Zone.
According to Su Xiaofan's observation, the cultivation level of the ancestor of the Sword Sect is probably much worse than the extraordinary ones in the Death Forbidden Zone.
All the Thunder Stones have been refined, but Su Xiaofan's affairs have just begun.
The flying sword molds left on the workbench didn't quite match his flying sword. Su Xiaofan still needed to make another mold.
Making molds was very simple for Su Xiaofan. When he first made bronzes, he had to make the molds himself.
And Su Xiaofan was just doing it for a show, there was no need to do it in such detail, just find a similar mold and cast it.
I found a piece of iron weighing more than ten kilograms from the refining room and threw it into the smelting furnace.
Then Su Xiaofan spit out his natal flying sword, found a similar mold, and placed the flying sword inside.
The iron melted very quickly, and the molten iron flowed out after a few minutes. Su Xiaofan used long pliers to clamp the mold with the void in it, and let the molten iron flow into the hole on the mold.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Su Xiaofan opened the mold and took out his Void Flying Sword, and the shape inside the mold was exactly the same as the Void Flying Sword.
"It's done!"
Su Xiaofan cleaned up the smelting furnace and looked at the two pieces of Thunder Gold Essence on the workbench. After thinking about it, he put away one piece, leaving only the piece refined later.
However, it had only been a day since Su Xiaofan came in. It would be a bit too early to leave now.
Su Xiaofan simply started practicing in the weapon refining room, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the third day, Su Xiaofan lifted the Dragon Broken Stone and opened the stone door.
"Junior Brother Su, how are you?" Hearing the noise, Wen Wenming, who had been waiting outside, stood up.
"Finally it's been refined."
Su Xiaofan didn't pretend to be physically and mentally exhausted, but it was only for two or three days, which was nothing to a cultivator of their level.
"Oh, maybe I can give it to senior brother to have a look?"
Wen Wenming's eyes lit up, "Junior brother Su, don't get me wrong, I've just never seen a flying sword made from thunder gold. I only look at it, and I promise not to touch it!"
The natal flying sword must be kept within the body and is usually not touched by others. If you are a bit of a germaphobe, you may not even let others see it.
"Okay, it seems that my flying sword is not made of thunder gold, but a metal that has been refined from thunder gold."
Su Xiaofan had vaccinated civilization before, and now he emphasized it again.
When he came outside, Su Xiaofan opened his mouth, took out the flying sword and put it in the palm of his hand.
"Huh? Junior Brother Su is so good at incorporating the flying sword into his body?"
Upon seeing this, Wen Wenming smiled and said: "I'm afraid that junior brother will soon break through to the realm of Yin Shen leaving the body. I don't know who will come first between you and Yi Jian."
"Senior Brother Zhao is going to make a breakthrough recently?"
Su Xiaofan didn't know about this, and Zhao Yijian never mentioned it on the phone.
"He came here more than ten days ago to refine his natal flying sword. He should have made a breakthrough recently."
Wen Wenming nodded and focused on the natal flying sword in Su Xiaofan's palm. When he saw it, Wen Wenming's face suddenly showed a strange color.
Cultivators who have left their bodies naturally do not see with their eyes. Most of the time, they use their spiritual consciousness to observe objects.
Civilization was no exception, but the divine consciousness he released was deflected by Su Xiaofan's flying sword, and he could also faintly feel the power of thunder and lightning.
"Junior Brother Su, you...your flying sword is incredible."
Wen Wenming said with a look of amazement: "You can actually defend yourself without using your spiritual consciousness. The quality of your flying sword is probably that of a treasure."
It has been more than ten years since Civilization advanced to the realm of Yin Shen's out-of-body experience. His cultivation and knowledge are extraordinary. After a little trial and error, he could feel the extraordinary quality of Su Xiaofan's flying sword.
However, Wen Wenming did not doubt that Su Xiaofan's flying sword was refined before, because the flying sword had not yet been engraved with formations.
Flying swords that are not engraved with formations are usually called sword embryos. Only after the formations are engraved and the mind of the cultivator is connected, can they truly be regarded as natal flying swords.
"This material may be the essence of Thunder Gold, which may be a hundred times more expensive than Thunder Gold!"
Civilization's attention finally focused on the material of flying swords, but no one had refined flying swords with thunder gold before, and he didn't know what was so special about flying swords.
But Wenming could feel that Su Xiaofan's flying sword was far from comparable to his natal flying sword. It was much different in terms of material alone.
However, before refining the flying sword, even the owner of the flying sword would not know much information about the flying sword, so Civilization did not pursue further questions.
"Let's go, junior brother, wait until we go out and let our ancestor take a look. He may be able to give you an evaluation of your flying sword!"
Wen Wenming shook his head. He felt that he still had limited knowledge and could not see the extraordinary features of Su Xiaofan's flying sword.
