After the morning exercise, Lu Qi felt that his strength had improved a lot.
Although he has not yet reached the ninth level of martial arts, he has almost reached the peak of the eighth level.
Breaking through to the ninth level probably doesn't require much merit.
The effect of Panlong Ointment is indeed overbearing.
Lu Qi went out to work with satisfaction.
In the blacksmith shop, Lu Qi opened fire as usual.
When the fire came up, he started to forge iron. With his now perfect blacksmithing skills, he discovered that many of the previous forging methods actually had more ingenious methods.
Even before, he only had a partial understanding of steel-making methods and steel-making, but now he can do better.
Even without the need for steel-making methods, the amount of iron produced can be directly controlled to more than 60%, and the fire consumption in the manufacturing process is also greatly reduced.
He was able to control the multiple flash fires and tempers down to the subtleties.
And even if he doesn't use the steel-making method and hundreds of steel-making methods, when he makes low-quality knives, he will still end up with one scrap out of every ten knives.
This is limited by cognition and understanding of forging, and now the upper limit has been greatly increased.
The cognition is different and the understanding is also different.
Lu Qi builds high-quality knives and there will be no waste products at all.
However, ordinary master craftsmen are not qualified to make middle-grade knives because of their understanding of iron materials, lack of internal air support, and insufficient fire material to raise the temperature of the furnace.
Not knowing enough about forging and not knowing when to put what iron materials are the reasons why you cannot forge a mid-quality knife.
now.
Lu Qi looked at the iron materials and tools in the blacksmith shop, and he knew how to make good use of them to create the most perfect iron tools.
"With the current iron materials in my blacksmith shop, without the need for steel-making methods and hundreds of steel-making methods, if I want to make a mid-grade knife, I must have the blessing of my inner energy to increase the temperature."
The temperature of the wood is still not enough, so the internal air makes the fire in the stove strong and the temperature is increased, so that a high-quality knife can be produced.
However, it is impossible to make a top-quality knife!
That requires higher temperature.
Lu Qi did have enough internal energy, but the stove simply couldn't withstand the high temperature.
"After I move to No. 76, I will change the stove and put in a few more, so that I can produce more molten iron at once and make more finished swords."
In addition to temperature, top-quality knives also need to add other iron materials to increase the stability and toughness of the iron.
There are no iron materials here.
Of course, Lu Qi could use the method of making steel, fold and forge it repeatedly, and finally make it into steel, and then he could get an ordinary high-grade knife.
That's another way, and it's shameful.
Lu Qi didn't want to be exposed either.
At this time, Lu Qi pretended to be an ordinary master and continued to forge. When no one was around, he threw the mid-grade Dao Feihong into the furnace.
It was remade and turned into an embroidered spring knife.
And it was a middle-grade Xiuchun knife. He planned to reward the Luo sisters with this knife if they successfully completed their mission and came back.
During the day, when there were many people, Lu Qi worked hard to make standard swords; when no one was around, with his Qi-gazing skills, if anyone was watching, he would be able to detect it. Fortunately, due to his relationship with Huang Li, no one was supervising the work.
There are people patrolling to make sure no one causes trouble for him.
During this period, Lu Qi built his own Xiuchundao. These things would need to be sold for money in exchange for the required training resources.
In the evening, Lu Qi had time to take out the Thousand Machine Stone.
An ordinary-looking stone weighs twenty-seven or eight kilograms, less than thirty kilograms, and is darker in color than ordinary iron ore.
With Lu Qi's perfect blacksmithing skills, his understanding of this is better quality iron ore.
Since it can hurt real people, it must be high-level.
Lu Qi tried to pour in the inner energy, but found that the Qianji Stone quickly swallowed up all the inner energy that he had poured in, and it felt like a mud cow sinking into the sea!
"Huh? It's interesting!"
Ordinary iron tools can also be filled with internal energy. The quality of the iron determines how much internal energy it can carry. Even the mid-grade peak dog-leg knife made by Lu Qi can only carry 30% of Lu Qi's internal energy.
Of course, more inner energy is fine, but it must be released as quickly as possible, otherwise the weapon will be damaged and broken.
There won't be anything during the battle. After all, sword energy, sword energy, etc. are all activated in an instant, so the weapons will not be damaged.
If you shake it forward for too long, it will cause damage to the weapon.
But now, this Thousand Machine Stone can easily withstand 30% of Lu Qi's internal energy without any abnormalities.
Lu Qi tried to gradually inject more inner energy, but found that when he injected 90% of the inner energy, there was still no abnormality in it.
He didn't dare to continue injecting.
First of all, I will be weak, and secondly, 90% of it will be like a cow sinking into the sea, and 10% of it will not be much better.
Lu Qi was not surprised but overjoyed, "What a good thing, if it can be made into a weapon, it will be a peerless magic weapon."
The more internal energy a good weapon can withstand under normal conditions, the more powerful it will be. During close combat, the weapons will collide and exert greater power.
Even if it is stimulated with sword energy and sword energy, it can still maintain the maximum power.
Therefore, regardless of other functions of this Thousand Machine Stone, it can withstand more inner energy, which is enough to give Lu Qi the upper hand in weapons.
When fighting in the same realm, other people's weapons will break when touched, so you can only fight with your bare hands!
When no one was around at night, Lu Qi threw it into the furnace and tried to melt it into molten iron.
However, if the temperature is raised to a certain level on weekdays, it will melt no matter what if it exceeds an hour. But this time, it has not melted for an hour.
"I'm afraid a higher temperature is needed, but my stove won't be able to handle it."
"It seems that it is imperative to go to No. 76 and replace the stove."
Upon thinking of this, Lu Qi did not continue to study, but found a place to hide the Thousand Machine Stone.
Keep working.
The next day, Lu Qi asked Li Muer to take his neighbors to purchase some furniture and deliver it to No. 76. At the same time, he asked some strong neighbors to help purchase some things needed for ironmaking and go to No. 76 to arrange it.
After moving to his new home, he still needs to forge iron.
This is a channel for money and cannot be cut off.
Although this place is far away from No. 76 Shenlong Street, the money is enough and the neighbors are rushing to go there.
Because the Lu family was in trouble, and Lu Qi was taken care of by Huang Li, the neighbors went to purchase and decorate things smoothly.
In just a few days, Lu Qi completed the standard sword and began to make an axe.
And No. 76 is also getting better and better arranged.
Li Muer has expressed several times that she wants to move as soon as possible.
Lu Qi's life here is getting better and better, but the Lu family's side is in constant trouble.
After the Knife Pavilion incident, the prestige of the Lu family plummeted. Many merchants who cooperated with the Lu family began to work in secret and covertly, and some thieves dared to rob the Lu family's escort bureau outside!
In response to this, the Lu family responded strongly, but with little success.
At this time, the top management of the Lu family was troubled by another matter.
Lu family, inner palace.
The head of the Lu family asked anxiously, "How is it? It's been seven days, the fourth child and his family have been buried, but the old man still doesn't eat or drink, and no one is seen?"
A maidservant said: "Go back to me, my grandpa. Not only did he go on a hunger strike, he also shed tears all day long."
Everyone in the Lu family was extremely panicked, and Lu Fan among the crowd was also panicked. The grandpa was the backbone of their Lu family, and if something happened, the Lu family would be in turmoil.
Nowadays, the Lu family is in a very difficult situation, but it doesn't hurt their bones and muscles. The county government and Judaomen didn't touch them, even though the old man is still there.
The head of the Lu family glanced around the crowd and said, "Whoever can persuade the old man to eat will be the future head of my Lu family."
However, everyone lowered their heads.
Even his most beloved son, Lu Fan, bowed his head and was timid, not daring to look at him.
The old man has a weird temper, who dares to go?
"Second brother, what happened?"
At this moment, a woman in her early thirties with a tall and proud figure appeared. She was different from the people around her in silk and satin, and her clothes were somewhat similar to the clothes of Ye Chen who was beaten to death by Lu Qi before.
This person is Lu Zhongwu's ninth sister and Lu Qi's aunt Lu Yao. She came back from the Judao Sect yesterday and joined Lu Mie's first seven games as soon as she came back.
Seeing this, Lu Chongwu said, "Jiu Mei, I haven't eaten or drank for several days. You just came back yesterday, so I don't dare to tell you."
Lu Yao said: "Second brother, give me the food box, and I will go and persuade the old man."
The head of the Lu family immediately stepped aside, and Lu Yao also pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as I opened the door, an old man's angry voice came from inside, "Get out, who let you in?"
Lu Yao said: "Old man, it's me."
The yelling finally disappeared, and then came the sound of crying.
The head of the Lu family was so frightened that he turned around and glared at everyone, scolding: "Get out of here, no one is allowed to come close to this place. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beaten to death with sticks."
The crowd immediately dispersed.
inside the house.
A black lamp and a blind fire, only the flame of a candle.
Lu Yao waved his hand, and a few strands of inner energy were released, which fell on a number of candles, immediately lighting up the house.
An old man in his 60s, his clothes were messy, and he was crying with tears.
Lu Yao stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Old man, I'm back."
The old man hugged her and cried even more miserably.
"I actually saw that person. In fact, I saw that person who killed the fourth child that day, but, but, I'm afraid, I don't dare to go, I don't dare to go up!"
"He's too strong, he's too strong. Chen Gongfeng's strength is not inferior to mine, and he killed me with one move!!"
Before Lu Yao came back, she had already read the letter and knew roughly what happened at home.
Hearing this, he reassured: "Old man, don't be afraid. I'm back and I won't let anyone bully the Lu family. I'm already an inner disciple of the Judao Sect and have reached the eighth level of martial arts!"
The old man's eyes shone brightly and he said in surprise: "Really, great, great... I didn't expect that you had been to the Judao Sect for three years and finally achieved something and entered the inner sect!"
Lu Yao also nodded heavily and said: "Old man, in addition to seeing you when I come back this time, the most important thing is that I want to find out the reason why my eldest brother died."
Her eldest brother is Lu Qi's father.
"When my eldest brother gave up the opportunity to go to Judaomen and gave it to me, I became what I am today. But I didn't expect that he would die just after I left. I regret it. I have been practicing hard in the past few years, and I only have one idea, that
It’s revenge!”
Taigong Lu's eyes flashed and he cried again: "Oh, oh, oh, I'm old. My eldest son died three years ago. Three years later, I saw my fourth son being beaten to death with my own eyes, but I didn't dare to take action..."
Lu Yao hurriedly comforted: "Old man, don't cry, I will take revenge."
"Let's put your eldest brother's affairs aside for now. Revenge for your fourth brother is also very important."
Lu Yao nodded, but then said: "I heard that my elder brother and sister-in-law are all dead, and even several nephews and nieces were killed for revenge. Only nephew Lu Qi is still alive."
"Old man, I want to see him! He can't practice, so I brought a gift back to him from the Giant Sword Sect!"
