Chapter 159: Practice Work, Hundred-Refined Sword Embryo

bite! bite! bite……

In front of the No. 1 blacksmith furnace in Zhuxin Workshop, Lu Qing had been hammering the iron bar for several hours.

But he didn't seem tired at all. Not only were his hands so steady, but he didn't even sweat a drop.

It was as if he was not next to a hot iron furnace, but in a cool valley.

Outside Furnace No. 1, others had already gathered.

Like Master Lin, they all stared at the scene in amazement.

The entire backyard became silent, with only the rhythmic sound of Lu Qing's forging being heard.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Qing finally stopped forging.

At this time, the iron bar in his hand had already changed its appearance and turned into a sword blank in the shape of a long sword.

laugh!

Lu Qing dipped the sword blank into the cold water, and a burst of steam rose up.

After the sword blank cooled down, he took it out and looked at it attentively.

Only a faint red light appeared from the sword embryo.

[Hundred-Refined Sword Blank: The sword blank formed through repeated folding and forging has reached the hundred-refined level. 】

[It takes thousands of times of hammering to make a weapon. This sword embryo has the foundation to become a precious sword. 】

He actually reached the Hundred Refinements level?

Lu Qing was a little surprised.

Just now he was immersed in the practice of the hammer technique in his mind and did not count how many times he folded and forged the iron bar.

I didn't expect that it could be forged into fine steel in an instant.

Seeing Lu Qing checking the sword embryo, Master Lin, who had been waiting outside anxiously, rushed in impatiently.

"Mr. Lu, could you please let me take a look at this sword embryo?"

"Of course you can. This is made with the materials you have here."

Lu Qing handed over the sword blank.

Master Craftsman Lin took the sword blank with both hands and examined it carefully.

When he saw the special forging pattern on it, his heart was shocked and he couldn't help blurting out: "Hundred-Refined Sword Embryo!"

"What, Master, are you telling the truth? Has this sword embryo really reached the Hundred Refinements level?"

When the other blacksmiths heard this, they were all in disbelief.

They did not watch Lu Qing forging the sword from beginning to end, so they did not know how many times Lu Qing folded and forged the sword blank.

"Why, you are doubting my judgment too?"

When Master Craftsman Lin heard this, he became unhappy and immediately glared at him.

"We dare not, we dare not, how dare we question your judgment!"

The disciples shuddered and smiled along.

But their hearts were still shocked.

The look he gave Lu Qing also became completely different.

They remembered what Lu Qing had said before, "Does he know a little about forging?"

It only took one morning to forge a sword blank of the hundred-refined level. Is that what you call understanding?

Even their master finds it difficult to do this!

Who exactly is this Mr. Lu? !

Master Craftsman Lin was also shocked.

It is not impossible for him to forge weapons of the Hundred Refinements level.

As a blacksmith with accomplishments close to those of a master craftsman, he was able to forge weapons that were five hundred or seven hundred times refined.

However, for a weapon like that, he must prepare for a long time in advance and spend a lot of effort and time to forge it.

If you are very strict, you may not be able to play a single game in a year or two.

Even if it was refined a hundred times, it would still take him several days to make it.

But Lu Qing, right under his nose, forged a sword blank of the hundred-refined level in just a few hours.

This level of efficiency even far exceeded his.

How could Master Lin not be shocked by this?

However, what shocked Master Lin the most was not this sword blank that had been tempered hundreds of times, but the state it was in when Lu Qing was forging it.

He was extremely focused and had no distractions, not making any mistakes from beginning to end.

Every move he made was filled with beauty and power, as if a harmony between man and nature.

If Lu Qing wasn't so young, he would have suspected that this was some master craftsman in disguise, playing a joke on him.

By now, Master Craftsman Lin knew that Lu Qing's previous words were just self-deprecation.

It's ridiculous that he really thinks that the other person is a young master who knows nothing.

Chief Steward Wei, who had remained silent, was also very surprised at this moment.

He knew that a genius like Lu Qing could not be judged by common sense.

But seeing him forge a sword blank of the hundred-refined level with his own eyes still made him a little stunned.

He was very clear about Lu Qing's background and knew that since he followed the old doctor, he would not have the opportunity to learn forging skills.

But now he has forged a sword blank with his own hands. How did he do that?

"Mr. Lu, are you from a family of forgers?"

Master Lin asked respectfully.

If the previous respect shown by Master Lin was out of compliment to Lu Qingwei's status as a distinguished guest in his mansion.

Now the respect comes from the heart.

A young man was slightly superior to him in casting skills.

Such a person definitely cannot have a simple background.

"No, I just got a little bit of forging inheritance by chance. I just figured it out for fun. I don't have any master."

"No master?"

Master Craftsman Lin took a deep breath and was even more shocked.

Without a master, he was able to hone his forging skills to such a level.

He couldn't even imagine how talented Lu Qing was in casting.

Faced with everyone's shock, Lu Qing did not feel complacent.

With his current level of cultivation, and with the help of his supernatural powers, it would naturally not take much time for him to learn the hammer technique.

In fact, the hammer technique he practiced was just the basics in the Lihuo Sect's inheritance.

It was the basic hammering technique that the Lihuo Sect gave to some outer disciples to practice forging ordinary weapons.

The truly advanced method of refining equipment can, in a single thought, activate one's true fire, melt equipment, input spells, draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refine magical instruments and spiritual weapons. That is the true means of turning decay into magic.

In comparison, forging one hammer at a time is not very efficient.

Of course, a tall building is built from the ground up, and although hammer forging is a basic means of refining equipment, Lu Qing does not underestimate it.

This is the beginning of the way of forging. Only when the foundation is laid solidly and one has sufficient understanding of forging can one better understand the advanced art of refining.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing picked up the hammer again, took out an iron bar, and prepared to continue forging.

But this time, he chose the biggest hammer.

"Mr. Lu, do you want to continue forging? Doesn't this sword blank meet your requirements?"

Seeing this, Master Craftsman Lin asked hurriedly.

"That's just a practice piece, it doesn't meet the weapon requirements I want." Lu Qing shook his head, "Don't worry, Master Lin, I will pay you for the materials you spent."

A sword embryo of the mere Hundred Refining Level barely reaches the threshold of a precious sword. How could it possibly be Lu Qing's goal?

The sword that Magu gave him had been tempered for five hundred times.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? Of course, that's not what I meant. It's just a little bit of pig iron. You can use it as you like. If it's not enough, there's still a lot in the warehouse. But you've been forging for so long, don't you need to take a rest?"

Master Craftsman Lin hurriedly explained, fearing that Lu Qing would misunderstand him as being stingy.

"It's okay. I have good stamina, so this consumption won't be a problem. Besides, this forging shouldn't take that long."

Lu Qing smiled.

He lifted the hammer, which weighed dozens of pounds, but it was as light as a feather in his hand.

Lu Qing first concentrated and calmed his mind for a while, then he suddenly smashed down with a hammer.

when!

A loud bang was heard.

Master Craftsman Lin's eyes widened instantly.
