The Furnace Burned Pure Azure, Its Thunderous Roar Shook All Around
"Young Master Lu, could this be the legendary Heavenly Meteorite Iron?"
Looking at what Lu Qing took out, Old Craftsman Lin asked with wide eyes.
"That's right, this is a piece of Heavenly Meteorite Iron I obtained by chance, which I will use to forge my weapon." Lu Qing did not deny it.
"Such a huge piece of Heavenly Meteorite Iron..."
Upon receiving Lu Qing's affirmation, Old Craftsman Lin was so surprised he almost jumped up.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
This is Heavenly Meteorite Iron iron, a legendary artifact used for forging.
By incorporating just a small piece, ordinary iron can be transformed into Divine Weapon.
Now, Lu Qing actually possesses such a large piece! Old Craftsman Lin finally understands why Lu Qing previously looked down on even sword embryos of the Thousand-Refined Grade, yet could give them away so easily.
It turns out he possessed such a divine artifact for forging.
Wei Xinghe, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked.
He had heard of the great name of Heavenly Meteorite Iron.
It is rumored to be one of the best materials for forging Divine Weapon, and I never expected that Lu Qing would actually have it in his possession.
"Young Master Lu, although Heavenly Meteorite Iron is a divine material for forging, it is also extremely resistant to high temperatures. I'm afraid my furnace can't withstand its heat."
Finally, after Old Craftsman Lin calmed down a bit, he gave a wry smile.
Heavenly Meteorite Iron is a kind of magical iron that fell from outer space.
In the process of entering this world, they were tempered by the forces of nature, such as the high winds, clouds, and lightning.
Therefore, it has an extremely high melting point and is extremely resistant to high temperatures.
It's likely that even the blacksmith's furnace at Casting Heart Workshop would be no match for such a divine object.
"It's alright, I'm prepared. The old craftsman just needs to help me control the heat, and leave the rest to me."
Lu Qing put the piece of Heavenly Meteorite Iron into the furnace to calcify it.
Seeing this, Old Craftsman Lin had no choice but to obey Lu Qing's orders and continue pulling the bellows.
As the bellows continued to blow, the flames in the furnace grew stronger and stronger, but in everyone's eyes, the piece of Heavenly Meteorite Iron remained completely still and unchanged after being forged for a long time, without even a trace of turning red.
Just as Old Craftsman Lin had guessed.
Their furnaces at the Casting Heart Workshop simply couldn't heat such divine iron.
However, Lu Qing did not seem impatient. He took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from the wooden box, uncorked it, and poured a drop of red Medicinal Liquid into the stove.
As the Medicinal Liquid fell into the furnace, the already blazing fire leaped upwards again, rapidly transforming from its original red color into a bluish hue.
At the same time, a powerful heat emanated from the furnace, making even the Old Craftsman Lin, who had spent most of his life forging iron, feel unbearably hot.
However, Old Craftsman Lin paid no attention to any of that. He stared at the blue flames with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
"Masterful skill! How is that possible?!"
His own furnace—he had personally crafted it—how could he not know its quality?
It's simply impossible to produce such a pure Azure Flame. After all, this is the legendary "mastery of fire," a flame that every blacksmith dreams of.
"It's that Medicinal Liquid!"
Old Craftsman Lin immediately realized that this change must have been caused by the liquid that Lu Qing had just dripped into the furnace.
He stared intently at the porcelain bottle in Lu Qing's hand, his eyes burning with desire.
What kind of precious liquid is this that can give rise to the legendary pure blue flame?
"Master craftsman, continue!"
Lu Qing, however, paid no attention to the Old Craftsman Lin's gaze and instead gave a soft shout.
Old Craftsman Lin was startled and quickly focused his attention, concentrating entirely on controlling the bellows.
Lu Qing stared intently at the furnace. Seeing that the flames inside were turning from blue to red, he dripped another drop of Medicinal Liquid into it to keep it pure blue.
In the following days, whenever the flames in the furnace showed signs of weakening, Lu Qing would drip in a drop of Burning Flame Liquid to keep the flames at their peak.
And so, under the continuous burning of the Azure Flame, after ten breaths, the Heavenly Meteorite Iron finally changed and began to gradually turn red.
Upon seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Qing's lips.
This Burning Flame Liquid was originally developed by the Li Fire Sect. It is a unique Medicinal Liquid that can ignite flames and greatly increase their temperature.
The purpose is to enable sect disciples who have not yet cultivated True Fire to also control higher-level flames and forge Divine Weapon.
In the Cultivation Era, this was not considered a particularly remarkable method.
But now the Immortal Dao immortality has vanished, and cultivators who possess True Fire have become extinct.
The value of this Burning Flame Liquid suddenly increased.
This became the only way for him to fuse Heavenly Meteorite Iron.
The Heavenly Meteorite Iron in the furnace gradually turned red, and after several dozen breaths, it finally became completely red.
Lu Qing did not delay. He immediately took out the clamp and placed it on the Iron Anvil Platform. With a swift movement, he grabbed the heaviest hammer, flipped it over, and smashed it down with the force of Mount Tai pressing down!
Clang! Sparks flew as Lu Qing unleashed his surging power, and a tremendous sound rang out, carrying for miles and shaking the entire backyard of the Casting Heart Workshop.
Old Craftsman Lin and his apprentices all felt their hearts pound.
Lu Qing's hammer blow was far more ferocious than when he forged the Thousand Refinements Sword Embryo.
If the Iron Anvil Platform hadn't been sturdy enough, Lu Qing would probably have sunk and destroyed it with that one blow.
Under Lu Qing's fierce hammering, even divine iron like Heavenly Meteorite Iron iron, when completely red-hot, was still deformed by a single blow.
Upon seeing this, Old Craftsman Lin's eyelids twitched.
Another hammer blow and a forging process! It's unbelievable that Young Master Lu could still forge such divine iron as Heavenly Meteorite Iron with a single hammer blow!
Clang! With one powerful blow, Lu Qing didn't pause for a moment, flipping his hand and smashing down with another hammer.
Clang! Clang! Clang!...
As Lu Qing continued to forge, loud sounds rang out and spread.
Such a commotion immediately startled everyone present.
This caused people in the vicinity to come out of their houses and look in the direction of Casting Heart Workshop with surprise and uncertainty.
Is this the Thunder God striking? What is the Casting Heart Workshop doing that could produce such a terrifyingly loud noise? Unfortunately, no one has been able to answer this question yet.
In order to allow Lu Qing to concentrate on forging, Old Craftsman Lin had long ago temporarily closed the Casting Heart Workshop and had his disciples guard it to prevent outsiders from entering.
Unless you force your way in, you can't see what's happening in the backyard at all.
However, as the County Town's foremost foundry master, Old Craftsman Lin still held a very high status.
Before figuring out the reason, most people are really unwilling to offend him.
Therefore, despite their shock, the crowd could only suppress their curiosity and let the loud noise continue, thanks to the obstruction of the disciples of the Casting Heart Workshop.
However, to everyone's surprise, the loud noise lasted for far longer than they had imagined.
It lasted for more than two hours before suddenly stopping.
