"For us swordsmiths, a good cauldron is the basis for forging a good sword. To put it bluntly, any sword made from a high-grade cauldron can be a yellow-level low-grade soldier, and even the quality is not good.
It's much better than an ordinary cauldron." Jian Lao said.
"This Fiery Furnace was a gift from my master, and I have been with you for decades." Looking at the Fiery Furnace with its fire burning, the old swordsman only had respect in his eyes.
"So, who is the master?" Mo Tian asked.
"Eh..." Jian Lao sighed and shook his head: "Master has passed away long ago."
Mo Tian gritted his teeth and bowed three times in front of the hot fiery furnace.
Seeing Mo Tian like this, Jian Lao's eyes were filled with relief, and he continued: "The first thing to do when making a sword is to understand the materials needed for the sword you want to make. You already know part of this, and the second is to understand the cauldron furnace."
nature."
Pointing to the Agni Fire Furnace, Jian Lao said: "This Agni Fire Furnace is a top-grade cauldron furnace with nine fire outlets. In other words, it contains the intensity of the Nine Layers of Agni Fire and can also be used to cast Nine Swords at the same time. Of course, the cost of casting Nine Swords at the same time is
Their mental power is also huge, I can only forge five swords at the moment."
"The middle-grade cauldron has five fire outlets, the lower-grade cauldron has three fire outlets, and the most basic cauldron has only one fire outlet, and the flame intensity it can emit is also the worst."
"Mo'er, you have just come into contact with sword making. I will give you a basic cauldron. You can start with the simplest cauldron and try to forge swords."
"Yes, Master!" Mo Tian said, cupping his fists.
"Forging a sword is not that simple. It's not just about throwing the materials into the cauldron. You need to use your mental power to control the flames in the cauldron, use the flames to calcine the sword-making materials, and finally use the flames to cast the sword.
become."
"The higher the level of the sword, the higher the mental requirements for the cauldron and the sword-maker. For example, for human-level swords, you need to start to understand the carvings, which are the so-called sword patterns. The sword patterns give the sword the body, and
Soul, this is why only human-level soldiers have sword spirits."
With a flip of his wrist, a human-level war sword appeared in Jian Lao's hand.
Handing the war sword to Mo Tian, Jian Lao said, "Look carefully at the blade of this human-level war sword."
Taking the human-level battle sword with both hands, Mo Tian's eyes condensed, and the mental power of the subtle realm enveloped the entire human-level battle sword.
However, under the influence of the heat wave of the Fiery Furnace, Mo Tian felt that his mental power was also being burned, and he was burned just as he was about to observe the battle sword.
With his brows furrowed, Mo Tian looked at Jian Lao doubtfully.
Jian Lao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's normal. As a top-grade cauldron, the Flame Furnace's flames are no longer ordinary fires. The flames also contain spiritual power. If a person with weak mental power uses mental power in front of the Agni Furnace,
Otherwise, it will be burned by the fire of the furnace. This is one reason why mental power plays a huge role in making swords."
"I'll tell you a secret. Your senior brother Fengyue has never been here before."
"Ah?" Mo Tian was shocked and asked: "Senior Brother Fengyue is so tyrannical and has not yet started to make swords?"
"Yes." Mr. Jian nodded: "Feng Yue, this kid, has a very good talent in cultivation, but he is not a sword-maker. He is not as strong as you in terms of mental strength. After practicing the Condensation Canon for several years, he still can't break through to the subtle realm, so I
We no longer plan to train him to make swords, but only to improve his physical quality so that he can withstand the burden of higher realms of Yuanli in the future."
Looking at Mo Tian, Mr. Jian's eyes were full of doting: "Mo'er, you are the best young man I have encountered in the decades of making swords. I am not afraid of your pride. Just because of your understanding of the Condensation Canon and your body
Quality, you are a person born to forge swords."
"Thank you Master for the compliment." Mo Tian was not arrogant and said calmly.
Stroking his long beard, Jian Lao smiled and nodded.
"Look at this human-level war sword. I will tell you later when you have enough mental strength to withstand the burning in the fiery furnace."
Mo Tian nodded and looked at the sword in his hand with all his concentration.
Once burned, the spirit is extinguished.
Second burning, the spirit turns into smoke.
Burned three times, the spirit remains.
Mo Tian didn't know how many times this was the first time his mental energy had been burned by fire and disappeared.
The sword-forging hall was extremely hot due to the fiery furnace. Mo Tian's whole body was already wet with sweat, and there were still large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Tick tock—tick tock—
A clear voice sounded in the quiet sword-making hall.
Jian Lao stood aside and stared at Mo Tian, who was still persistent, and couldn't help but show approval.
When making swords, the most important thing is actually not spirit, strength, or materials.
Rather, be patient.
No matter how strong you are, no matter how strong your spirit is, no matter how good the materials are, you cannot forge a good sword without patience.
This is the sword's heart, the sword's heart of a high-level sword.
Forging the body with materials, forging weapons with strength, and forging soul with spirit.
And be patient and temper your heart.
A soldier without a heart will always be just a piece of trash and will never be able to exert its strongest strength.
It would actually be possible if Feng Yue was forced to come into contact with sword-making, but Mr. Jian knew that Feng Yue wouldn't be able to go far.
Feng Yue's heart is restless, and she is impatient and unable to calm down. She can at most rely on her own strength to forge low-level warriors, but she cannot forge high-level warriors. Feng Yue will never be able to do that with the heart of the sword.
.
But Mo Tian is different. An eighteen-year-old boy has a calm heart that adults don't have. His endurance, his patience, and his persistence are far stronger than Feng Yue too much.
This is why Mr. Jian is now teaching Mo Tian how to make swords.
Once you enter the art of making swords, you can't turn back.
Although the time consumed in making swords is a waste of practice, the improvement in other aspects is extremely terrifying.
This is why the swordsmith was the most powerful existence among the three major professions in the great domain ten thousand years ago.
A truly powerful swordsmith, even in the most powerful formation of the ninth-level formation mage, can still break the formation with one sword relying on the sword in his hand and his heart!
Jian Lao couldn't continue to improve because his sword heart had been shaken and he was restrained by his cultivation. However, Mo Tian's appearance gave Jian Lao hope.
The destruction of the Swordsmith Sect and the gradual disappearance of the swordsmith profession were all seen by the sword master.
If you want to revitalize the sword-making sect, then a true sword-making expert must appear! A true ninth-level sword-making master!
Looking at Mo Tian who was still persistent, Jian Lao had a goal.
Even though he was burned by the fire and consumed a huge amount of mental energy, Mo Tian still persisted in observing the human-level swords.
Mo Tian, whose body functions were greatly consumed by the body of fire, still refused to give up.
Mr. Jian has determined that this son is the one who will revive the Sword Casting Sect in the future. The Sword Casting Sect will reappear in the great domain because of this son!
He was sweating like rain, his face was already a little pale, and his standing body was already a little exhausted, swaying from side to side.
However, the eyes looking at the sword in his hand were very firm, and the hand holding the sword was even more tight.
