Chapter 160: One Hammer, One Refining, Thousand Refining Treasure Embryo
Master Craftsman Lin saw that as Lu Qing smashed down with his heavy hammer.
Under the enormous force, the red-hot iron bar, in an instant, sparks flew, was squeezed and collapsed, and turned into a discus.
Then Lu Qing folded it and hammered it hard again, hammering it into a discus.
In this way, Lu Qing struck with one hammer after another.
The iron bar was like dough and was easily flattened by him.
But Master Lin and his apprentices knew that it was not that the iron bar was as soft as dough, but that Lu Qing's strength was simply too amazing.
Every blow of the hammer can easily flatten the iron bar.
The most important thing is that Master Lin and his colleagues also noticed that Lu Qing did not just use brute force to smash it down.
Instead, each hammer contains various changes, just reaching the limit of the iron bar, squeezing out the impurities inside it without using too much force and breaking it.
"One hammer and one temper, how is this possible?"
Watching Lu Qing swinging the heavy hammer, hammering it out with ease, one hammer after another, old craftsman Lin had already become dazed and was muttering to himself in a trance.
My heart was filled with indescribable shock.
He had never thought that forging iron could be done like this.
Every time the hammer struck, it was a process of refining. Such miraculous forging skills could not be achieved even by the real master craftsmen he had seen before.
But he never thought that it would actually happen right in front of him.
when! when! when!
In the backyard of Zhuxin Workshop, Lu Qing kept swinging the sledgehammer. Every time he swung the hammer, the huge force could shake the entire backyard.
Everyone was stunned by this scene full of power and beauty.
Even Wei Dazongguan was no exception.
In fact, because of his higher cultivation level, he could better appreciate how terrifying the hammer technique Lu Qing used was.
He estimated that even with his high level of inner realm, he would not be able to withstand a few blows from Lu Qing.
In this way, Lu Qing continued to forge for more than an hour as if he was tireless.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and realized something. He stopped folding and forging, and started to shape the iron bar in his hand.
Gradually, the iron bar in his hand also changed its appearance and began to take the shape of a sword.
when!
After another hammer strike, sparks flew everywhere, and Lu Qing finally stopped forging and put the sword blank in his hand into cold water.
laugh!
In the mist, Lu Qing took out the sword embryo and looked at it intently.
I saw a rich red light emerging from the sword embryo.
[Thousand-Refined Sword Blank: The sword blank formed through repeated folding and forging has reached the Thousand-Refined level. 】
[It takes thousands of times of hammering to make a weapon. A sword embryo at the thousand-refined level already has the potential to become a magic weapon. 】
[Due to the limitation of material, this sword blank has reached its limit. Continuing forging and folding it will not improve its quality. 】
really.
After reading the information on the sword embryo, Lu Qing understood.
He had noticed it when he was forging it earlier.
I felt that the iron bar had reached its limit and there was no point in continuing to fold and forge it.
It seems that ordinary iron is just ordinary iron after all, and its quality cannot be improved through endless folding and forging.
The Thousand Refined Level is already the ultimate quality of these iron bars.
"Lu, Mr. Lu, would you mind letting me take a look at this sword embryo?"
At this time, Master Craftsman Lin asked with a trembling voice.
Eyes full of hope.
"Of course."
Lu Qing casually handed the sword blank in his hand to the old craftsman.
Master Craftsman Lin respectfully took the sword blank with both hands and looked at it carefully.
This time, his disciples no longer cared about the etiquette between master and disciple, and all gathered around to look at the sword embryo together.
The sword blank forged by Lu Qing this time was slightly smaller than the previous one because he had completely hammered out the impurities inside it.
Of course, this is not what Master Lin and his apprentices pay attention to.
The first thing they did was to observe the texture on the sword blank.
Then, when you see the incredibly delicate texture.
Master Lin's body shook violently: "This texture is indeed a thousand-refined treasure embryo. This sword embryo has reached the thousand-refined level!"
"Master, have you really reached the Thousand Refining Level?"
The disciples had never seen fine iron of a thousand-refined grade, and they were also shocked when they heard the words.
"No doubt about it. The fine lines are like scales. This is the sign of a Thousand Refined Treasure Embryo!"
Hearing the master's extremely certain tone, all the disciples were shocked.
They all crowded together, looking at the sword blank fanatically, wishing their eyes were glued to it.
As a blacksmith, it is a great honor to be able to see iron tools of a thousand-refined grade!
Master Craftsman Lin held the sword blank in his hands and looked at Lu Qing with a trembling mouth.
In fact, he had anticipated the quality of this sword blank.
After all, he watched Lu Qing forge the sword blank from beginning to end. Although he did not count how many times he folded and forged it, he had a rough impression.
But precisely because of this, when he actually saw the texture on the sword blank that marked the Thousand Refined Level, his heart was even more shocked.
Because the forging skills displayed by Lu Qing when forging this sword blank were so shocking.
Hammering and refining, such a miraculous method actually exists!
Old Craftsman Lin had never seen a grandmaster of forging, so he had no idea what level of forging skills such a grandmaster had.
But he was sure that Lu Qing's forging skills, let alone forging, were not inferior to any casting master!
"Thousand Refined Treasure Embryo?"
Chief Steward Wei couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.
He didn't expect that Lu Qing could actually produce a sword embryo of the Thousand Refined level.
You know, even the Wei Mansion doesn't have many swords like this in their collection.
"Mr. Lu, thank you for the gift of treasure to observe."
Master Craftsman Lin came to Lu Qing holding the sword blank and handed it back respectfully.
He looked as respectful as an apprentice facing a master craftsman.
"It's just a sword blank. Master Lin, you don't have to be so serious." Lu Qing smiled and didn't take it. "It just so happens that I have something I want to ask the old master for help."
"Mr. Lu, please tell me. As long as this old man can help, I will do my best!" Master Craftsman Lin said hurriedly.
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just about this sword blank. I would like to ask the old craftsman to help make it into a long sword.
A good friend of mine is going to have a happy event in a few days, and I would like to give him this sword as a gift. Is it possible? ”
"That's of course no problem, but why doesn't Mr. Lu do it himself?" asked Master Lin with some confusion.
"To be honest with you, old craftsman, I only have some experience in forging. I am not very familiar with other casting techniques. I am not as experienced as you, old craftsman."
To forge a perfect sword, it takes more than just forging the sword blank.
There are also processes such as inlaying, polishing, and sharpening, which Lu Qing is not familiar with.
"So that's how it is. Young Master Lu, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your trust and make this precious sword!"
Master Craftsman Lin was quite excited. Being able to forge a thousand-refined sword with his own hands was an unprecedented experience for him.
However, after the excitement, he suddenly remembered something.
"But Mr. Lu, didn't you say before that you came to borrow the furnace this time to forge a weapon for yourself? Aren't you forging this sword blank for yourself?"
"My weapon is not in a hurry yet." Lu Qing shook his head.
"I came here this time just to hone my forging skills. After a few days, when I have gathered all the materials, I will come to bother the old craftsman again."
