Looking at the wooden sword broken into two pieces in her hand, Xu Chunniang was slightly stunned.
After a moment, I realized that the wooden sword was too fragile and could not withstand too much force.
If you want to learn to sword, you must first build a suitable sword.
A wooden sword won't work, and ordinary iron won't work either.
She still has some spiritual minerals in her hand, and if she makes do with it, she should be able to make a handy sword.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and dug out all the spiritual minerals she had collected while crossing the Western Sea in the past few years.
Just talking about the fourth-level spiritual minerals, there are seven or eight types including red smelted copper essence, green copper gold essence, and five-color iron essence.
There are even more third-level spiritual minerals, with twenty or thirty types.
The small piece of Geng gold stone given by Kong Huan back then was also among them.
Xu Chunniang specializes in formation formation, but is not good at refining weapons. She has only read some basic books and has a slight understanding of the physical properties of spiritual minerals and the process of refining weapons.
However, once you have reached the Nascent Soul realm, it is not difficult to refine a usable sword.
Anyway, she was refining the sword to practice swordsmanship. She didn't ask for high-level power, as long as it was strong and durable.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and chose red smelted copper essence, green copper gold essence and a little third-level black gold as raw materials.
It was her first time making a sword, so she wasn't very confident, but the fewer materials she used, the higher the success rate.
The red copper essence and green copper gold essence, which are the materials for level four refining, are strong enough in themselves.
Adding a little black gold can make the two melt more perfectly.
After recalling the process of refining the weapon in her mind, Xu Chunniang casually set up several barriers, released the Falling Heart Flame, and calcined the red copper essence.
The red smelted copper essence looks dark copper in color, with a few streaks of red faintly revealed in the cross-section, interlaced with large areas of dark copper.
As the Falling Heart Flame burned, the red copper essence showed some signs of liquefaction, shining with a strange luster.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the red copper smelting essence, shook her head, and continued to calcination patiently.
At the current rate, it would take at least ten and a half days to fully bake it.
After twelve days of continuous calcination, a large piece of red smelted copper essence finally turned into a mass of dark copper and red liquid.
Xu Chunniang separated out several wisps of falling heart flames, carefully wrapped the red copper smelting liquid, took a large piece of green copper gold essence, and continued to calcine it.
Green copper gold essence exudes a golden-green luster, and its texture is slightly softer than red smelted copper essence.
It took ten days to complete the calcination and purification process, turning the green copper gold into a ball of green copper gold liquid.
Right now, only the black gold remains that has not been calcined or purified.
As a third-level spiritual ore, Wujin has a much softer texture than the first two. It is a common spiritual ore used to assist smelting.
It only took half a day for Xu Chunniang to calcine a small piece of black gold into black gold liquid.
After the spirit ore has been calcined and purified, it's time for the most critical step, smelting.
This step is directly related to the grade of the finished product.
If the smelting fails, then the weapon refining will basically fail.
Although only three kinds of spiritual minerals were used in this refining, Xu Chunniang still did not dare to be careless.
She first separated a small ball from the red copper smelting liquid and added half of the black gold liquid.
The red copper smelting liquid with red luster fell into the black gold liquid, and the red sword turned pale.
After the two melted together, Xu Chunniang continued to add the red copper liquid into it in small amounts and many times until the two melted together, and the process was considered complete.
Xu Chunniang felt a little relieved. She wrapped the spiritual mineral liquid with the Fire Heart Flame and put it aside. Then she took the green copper gold liquid and the remaining half of the black gold liquid and melted the two.
Finally, the most important step is to melt the red copper smelting liquid mixed with black gold liquid and the green copper gold liquid together.
Xu Chunniang first took a few drops from two volumes of spiritual mineral liquid to test whether the two could melt smoothly.
After all, if the smelting fails, the two high-level spiritual ores, red copper essence and green copper gold essence, will be scrapped directly, and the losses will be heavy.
The two pieces of spiritual mineral liquid came together and made a "chichi" sound. Not only did they not merge, but they repeled each other and emitted a large amount of white gas.
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang realized that the weight of the black gold was too small and did not dissolve the repulsive force between the red copper essence and the green copper gold essence.
She put the spent spiritual mineral liquid aside, took out a large piece of black gold, and continued to calcine it...
Three days later, after several attempts, Xu Chunniang finally successfully melted all the spirit mineral liquid together.
Next, you can shape the spirit sword.
After removing the Fallen Heart Flame, Xu Chunniang used her spiritual consciousness to shape the ball of spiritual mineral liquid bit by bit.
After the spirit mineral liquid cools down, a sword embryo is born.
If you want to turn the sword embryo into a real spiritual sword, you still have to go through several steps.
Due to limited conditions, we can only proceed to this step.
Looking at the slightly rough sword embryo in her hand, Xu Chunniang felt a sense of accomplishment.
The strength of this sword embryo met her requirements.
It took nearly a month, and although only the sword embryo was created, it was barely usable.
Xu Chunniang waved it a few times, and the sword embryo danced in the air, making waves of whining wind.
Even the laurel trees on the side began to sway.
Looking at the mottled tree shadows, Xu Chunniang was unconsciously in a trance, thinking of the bustling streets she had visited a few days ago and the mortals passing by on the streets.
She obviously came to this mortal city specifically to relax and take a closer look at the scenery she had missed over the years.
But when I get busy, I always forget the time.
At any time, she held a sword flower, took a piece of cloth, wrapped the sword and carried it on her back. Xu Chunniang opened the courtyard door and walked outside.
After walking out of the barrier, the unique noises in the mortal city reached her ears one by one, carrying the atmosphere of worldly fireworks, vivid and lively.
"Hey, when did someone move into this small courtyard?"
Several women living nearby heard the commotion and looked at Xu Chunniang grandly.
When his eyes fell on the sword on her back, he shrank slightly and did not dare to say anything.
The woman who carries a sword on her back is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid it's hard to get along with her.
Several children playing in the distance saw the sword she was carrying and gathered around her, looking curious.
One boy even had the nerve to ask, "Can I touch your sword?"
Xu Chunniang untied the sword and gently held it beside her, "Be careful."
Through the cloth strip, the boy's hand was placed on the blade of the sword, and he could still feel the deep coolness.
He was so cold that he retracted his hand and looked at the sword with envy and desire. What a powerful sword!
Seeing this, several other children also rushed to touch the sword.
The more clever one prostrated himself directly and shouted, "Here is the heroine, accept my worship, accept me as your disciple, and teach me magical skills!"
Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows slightly, but before she could say anything, a woman next to her rushed up and lifted up the child who was prostrating.
"You brat, where did you learn this set of etiquette for apprenticeship? This is not a way to worship indiscriminately!"
