The Blacksmith is the weapon forging organization of Yinren Village and is also one of the most important institutions in Yinren Village.
The leader of the blacksmith is Lin Rufa, the son of the village chief Lin Hengshan and the father of Lin Fenghuo. He is also the only great master of weapon refining in the entire Luoye County.
Pass through the huge iron gate built by the blacksmith, and when you walk in, you will see independent courtyards. In each courtyard there is a deacon wearing a black robe, followed by several blacksmiths wearing gray shorts.
Yi Xifeng came to the largest courtyard with ease, where Lin Rufa led the blacksmiths of Yinren Village to forge.
At this time, the dark man was wearing a black robe and explaining something to several blacksmiths. As the leader of the blacksmith, the man rarely forged weapons by himself, unless it was a temple weapon, a divine weapon, or something like Yi Xifeng's return
Hiding the scabbard and forging something for his family, he would personally take action.
Of course, every time Lin Rufa personally forged the temple weapons of the divine weapons, he would attract onlookers from the village. The blacksmith never hid his clumsiness, and even placed the most critical step of quenching the divine weapons on the huge iron door at the door.
Conducted in the sink.
The temple weapon "Green Fire Sword" forged three years ago was quenched in the huge water tank outside this door.
At that time, it was through observing the whole process of quenching that Yi Xifeng determined his own cultivation path and started the medicinal wine cultivation plan.
When Lin Rufa saw the fair young man arriving, he nodded slightly to him and motioned for him to wait for him in the lobby behind.
"You brat, why are you free to come to my place today? Did you bring some good new wine?" the swarthy man walked in with a smile and asked.
Yi Xifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Lin, I really didn't bring any wine with me today."
Lin Rufa's eyes widened and he said, "You didn't bring any wine? Then you must be up to no good. Go, go, go, you bastard, get out of here." The man sat cross-legged on the futon and hugged his chest with his arms.
"Uncle Lin, there must be good wine. Don't worry, I'm currently researching a new wine." The fair boy said mysteriously.
The swarthy man immediately became energetic when he heard that there was new wine! Although this brat was sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable. But when it came to big things and wine, this brat was always very reliable. He said quickly:
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly!"
Yi Xifeng shook off the bag behind him and placed the contents on the elm plank between the two of them.
Four stones suddenly appeared on the plan, the big ones were as big as heads and the small ones were as big as walnuts.
The fair young man asked: "Uncle Lin, can you help me take a look at these things?"
Lin Rufa sat up straight, swept away his drunkard and rogue demeanor, picked up one of the stones as big as a fist, and said:
"This stone is called hematite, and it is a specialty of Hongyan Town. I heard that the name of Hongyan Town comes from this stone. Compared with ordinary iron stones, this kind of iron stone has a higher iron yield, and the iron produced is naturally
With fire properties.”
Yi Xifeng nodded. This piece was exactly what he bought from the "profiteer" at the Chunfeng Riverside Market last time.
The dark man put down the hematite, then picked up the stone as big as a head and said:
"This stone is a bit rarer than the hematite. This stone is called the Ice Iron Stone, uh... I remember you asked me about it before. However, the average ice iron stone is only about the size of a fist, and the ones as big as a head are rare.
"
The fair young man said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, please take a look at these two pieces again."
Yi Xifeng pointed to the two remaining stones on the table with some anticipation.
Lin Rufa picked up the white jade stone, looked at it for a moment, and said:
"This thing is considered a rare thing. This stone is called zeolite, also called water and fire stone."
Having said this, he glanced at the boy next to him and continued:
"It is as hot as fire in water, and it will boil like water when burned in fire. This thing is in line with your technique."
Yi Xifeng smiled slightly and felt determined. This piece of zeolite was exactly what Yi Xifeng was looking for.
Finally, he picked up the stone as big as a walnut and saw that its surface was like a sapphire. Lin Rufa looked at it for a long time and said slowly:
"This object is a meteorite."
"siderite?"
Yi Xifeng was quite surprised by this answer. This meteorite was also obtained from that cold pool.
Last night at the bottom of the pool, Yi Xifeng used "Thousand Miles of River" to bring all the rocks and gravel from the bottom of the pool to the shore.
The fair-skinned boy went ashore, first used the smell of alcohol to steam away the water stains on his body, then put on his jacket and long gown, and started picking things up on the shore.
The ice-iron stone as big as a head was the largest ice-iron stone in the pile of rubble.
In addition to the black ice iron stone, Yi Xifeng also found several pieces of white jade-colored zeolite. This piece of meteorite was sandwiched between the head-sized ice iron stone and the zeolite.
Lin Rufa took out a small hammer, slowly struck the meteorite, and said after a while:
"First tell me what kind of weapon you want to forge. I haven't seen any clues about this meteorite yet. I need to study it for a while."
The fair boy nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, I want to forge a sword!"
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
"Actually, I have been thinking about this issue a long time ago. It was Zhao Long who inspired me. Last time in Maple Leaf Forest, his San Qinglian and Liang Qingfeng were both executed with the help of his two swords."
"Yes, his Qinglian double-edged sword is indeed a good knife. The main ingredients are crushed ice iron stone, plus cold black iron and mercury magnetic crystals. It is not only suitable for his water-based internal strength technique, but also preserves the magnetism of the mercury magnetic crystals.
, even if the blade is broken, as long as the inner strength is poured into it, it can still be brought together. Coupled with his skills, it is even more powerful." Obviously, Lin Rufa, as the forger, is very satisfied with these two swords!
Yi Xifeng suddenly realized after hearing the other party's explanation. At that time, he was still curious as to why the other party's two knives could be used again after being broken into pieces. This made him jealous for a long time as he also suffered serious damage to his weapons.
"Unfortunately, you are not a water-based internal energy practitioner, and mercury magnetic crystals are not suitable for you." Lin Rufa guessed what he was thinking when he saw the fair boy's flushed face and denied it.
"So, this time I want to use the fire attribute of hematite and the ice attribute of ice iron stone, plus this zeolite to reconcile yin and yang, to forge a sword that suits me." Yi Xifeng said sincerely.
Lin Rufa pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your idea is very good, and there is no big problem with your thinking. Unfortunately, in fact, this kind of forging is difficult to succeed."
Yi Xifeng asked in surprise:
"Why?"
The man replied:
"The essence of weapon refining is to learn from each other's strong points to compensate for weaknesses. This is true, but real weapon refining cannot be achieved by patting one's head on the head. It is difficult to make various materials abandon their original characteristics and forge what we want.
success."
"Abandoning the original characteristics?" Yi Xifeng asked doubtfully.
"Hematite is of the fire attribute, and it and the ice iron stone of the ice attribute have mutually restraining properties. If the two raw materials are melted into a sword, it will break into pieces in the furnace before the sword comes out of the furnace." Lin Rufa explained softly.
road.
"Even if zeolite is mixed with it, the forged weapon will be difficult to condense. There may even be a situation where the tip of a sword is hematite, the middle of the blade is zeolite, and the tail of the blade is ice iron stone. If you want to make it
To integrate the excluded things into one requires a cohesive force, which is not something our human power can provide.”
Yi Xifeng asked with some frustration: "Then there is nothing we can do?"
Lin Rufa closed his eyes and thought for a long time: "As far as I know, there are only a few weapon-refining materials that can solve this problem. Unfortunately, they are not accessible to you now, but..."
When Yi Xifeng heard Lin Rufa's words, he was about to give up. When he heard him say "no," he immediately asked:
"But what?"
Lin Rufa laughed at himself and said: "It's not impossible. We still don't know what the characteristics of this piece of meteorite are. Did you say that you also found this piece of meteorite in the cold pool?"
The fair young man nodded in response and recounted the situation to Lin Rufa.
The man's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened. Finally he laughed loudly:
"Haha, kid, I just told you that the essence of weapon refining is to learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses. In fact, there are four more words behind it!"
Seeing the change in Lin Rufa's expression, Yi Xifeng knew that there was still room for improvement, so he felt relieved and asked:
