Ye Chen didn't waste any time. After everything was ready, he finally started to forge.
The main reason why other weapon refiners are unable to forge Tianjin Stone into weapons is that it is too hard!
Not only is it impossible to smelt with ordinary flames, it is also difficult to cut off, making the first step of purification beyond the reach of most refiners.
However, these are not big problems for Ye Chen.
First, he took out the dagger he had just made with black black iron, cut the Tianjin Stone into pieces, and then threw it into the furnace for smelting.
The Tianjin Stone is indeed very hard, but the quality of the dagger made of Black Black Iron has reached the spiritual level. Both in terms of sharpness and hardness, it is far superior to the unsmelted Tianjin Stone.
So much so that when Ye Chen peeled it, it was like chopping melons and vegetables.
This scene left the shop owner dumbfounded.
"How can it still be like this?"
He knew just now that Ye Chen would exchange old weapons with him, and there must be a solution.
But I didn’t expect it to be so direct!
Cut into thin slices with a dagger and smelt!
The method seems simple and crude, but the effect is very good.
The reason why other refiners were unable to smelt the Tianjin Stone was precisely because they did not have sharp enough tools to break it into pieces.
If you can cut it into thin slices like Ye Chen, that's a different story!
No matter how hard the Tianjin Stone is, as long as it is thin enough, ordinary flames can easily refine it.
Sure enough, after Ye Chen cut the Tianjin Stone into thin slices and burned it in the stove for a while, it gradually softened into a scalding liquid.
And once it is refined, purification can proceed smoothly.
Of course, no matter how smooth it is, it still takes a lot of time.
It wasn't until the next day that Ye Chen finally went through the steps one after another and finally forged the Tianjin Stone into a rather peculiar weapon.
Stinging whip!
However, it is somewhat different from the traditional thorn whip.
The surface is covered with barbs, which can be freely contracted. When contracted together, it can be used as a soft sword, and when stretched, it can form a long whip.
And the quality is actually top notch!
The reason why it could not be made into a spiritual product was because it was difficult to forge the Tianjin Stone.
"Master Ximen's weapon refining skills are really eye-opening for this villain!"
Looking at the already formed thorn whip, the shop owner was filled with admiration and envy.
The quality of the Yanyue Sword that Ye Chen used to exchange with him was a treasure, but the weapon made of Tianjin Stone was of the highest quality.
The most depressing thing for him was that Ye Chen only spent fifty gold coins to buy a piece of black black iron from his store yesterday.
If you don't count the cost of fifty gold coins and the energy for forging, Ye Chen would have exchanged a top-grade weapon and a spiritual weapon for him with a rare-grade Yanyue Sword.
Anyone who falls into this kind of transaction will feel psychologically unbalanced.
But when he thought about Ye Chen's weapon refining skills, he could only admit defeat.
After all, if he doesn't exchange it with Ye Chen, he can only use this piece of Tianjin Stone as a decoration, and he won't be able to get this rare-level Yanyue Sword.
"Xiao Ran, this thorn whip will be yours from now on!" After observing for a moment and seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Ye Chen handed it to Ye Yanran.
"It's light and flexible, and it really suits me!" Ye Yanran couldn't put it down.
After that, he did not delay and immediately left the shop here, preparing to return to the inn where they were staying and start refining the Taizong Pill.
Yesterday at the alchemist branch, he not only succeeded in refining a rare-grade Spirit Peeping Pill for Ye Yanran, he also obtained a high-quality cauldron from Zhou Xueyuan, as well as the method of refining the Taizong Pill.
…
The outer gate of Piaomiao Sect, Qingwu Hall.
"What a good Ye Chen, does he really dare to be so arrogant?"
After hearing Lu Kai's report, Ximen Xiao, known as the number one person in the outer sect of Piao Miao Sect, suddenly became furious.
"Senior Brother Ximen, it's not that I don't try my best, but that boy named Ye Chen is too cunning and always relies on women for support!"
Lu Kai said angrily: "That's it, Nangong Liuli. Her cultivation level is indeed above ours, but the little girl next to Ye Chen is also a pervert. Even if we join forces, we are no match for her!"
After a pause, Lu Kai added: "Even my uncle couldn't take advantage of that kid!"
"Humph, what kind of man do you think he is if he relies on women for support?" Ximen Xiao was so angry that he cursed.
"Senior Brother Ximen, our thoughts are the same as yours, but that kid is so shameless. Instead of feeling it as a shame, he actually feels proud of it. We really can't do anything against him!"
Speaking of this, Lu Kai seemed to have remembered something and said cautiously: "By the way, when we came back, that boy said something very disrespectful to you, senior brother!"
"What are you talking about?" Ximen smiled and was startled.
"That boy said that he actually has no interest in Nangong Liuli. If you like me, senior brother, just find a way to pursue him, but don't provoke him again, otherwise, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Seeing Lu Kai hesitate to speak, Ximen Xiao couldn't help but shouted.
Lu Kai was startled and said hurriedly: "He said that he is not someone to be trifled with. If you provoke him again, Senior Brother, you will definitely not end well!"
As soon as these words came out, Ximen Xiao's anger was completely detonated!
"boom!"
As his hands rose and fell, the table in front of him turned into pieces.
"Okay, great!"
Ximen Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Kai, do you know where that kid lives?"
"I know!" Lu Kai nodded heavily, looking forward to it, "If you, senior brother, take action yourself, it will be impossible for this kid to find a woman to support him!"
Ximen Xiao is the number one person in the outer sect of their Piao Miao Sect. As long as he takes action in person, let alone Ye Yanran beside Ye Chen, even if Nangong Liuli supports Ye Chen, he can't stop Ximen Xiao at all.
"Lead the way immediately!"
Ximen smiled angrily, "I want to see why this kid dares to be so arrogant!"
"Yes, senior brother!"
Lu Kai nodded and immediately stepped forward diligently to lead the way.
Because it was very close to Hongyan City, Ximen Xiao was brought to the inn where Ye Chen was staying in just half an hour.
At this moment, in front of the inn.
"Are you finally back?"
Ye Chen yawned, feeling indescribably tired all over his body.
Yesterday, he first went to the alchemist branch to refine elixirs, and then went to the rare stone shop on Changfeng Street to refine weapons, especially to refine the thorn whip for his sister Ye Yanran, and spent the entire night refining it.
No matter how energetic he was, he felt exhausted at the moment.
So even if he returned to the inn, he had to have a good sleep before getting up to refine the Taizong Pill.
However……
"Senior Brother Ximen, that's him!"
As he was about to walk into the inn, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"It's him again?"
Ye Yanran also heard it, and her pretty face suddenly darkened.
Ye Chen also looked over in surprise.
Sure enough, the person who spoke was none other than Lu Kai, the Piaomiao Sect disciple who had repeatedly troubled him yesterday!
Next to Lu Kai stood a man with a tall figure and extraordinary bearing.
