"Huchi--Huchi--"
Chen Junting came to a house and saw that the door was ajar, and bursts of heat waves and the sound of metal knocking could be heard from it.
As soon as I opened the door and walked in, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and coal, and a hot breath hit my face.
The room is not too messy. After all, except for a Soul Guidance Melting Furnace in the center that is burning brightly, other blacksmithing tools are readily available, but they don't seem to have been used much at all.
Of course, this is not the case.
Within the furnace, the flames that seemed to want to devour anyone but made Chen Junting feel familiar were constantly tumbling, reflecting everything around them red, and even the air was dyed a bit golden.
There is no doubt that this is a blacksmith shop.
It's just that this blacksmith shop is not a blacksmith shop that ordinary people think of making farm tools. Instead, it is Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect combined with Soul Tool Technology, specially built for one person.
At this moment, in front of Soul Guidance Melting Furnace, a tall and muscular man was standing, facing the raging Lie Yan.
He was naked from the waist up, revealing his strong and strong arms, and his skin glowed with a healthy coppery luster under the firelight.
Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped on his chest and the ground. Even if Chen Junting arrived, he seemed completely unaware of it, as if he was focusing all his attention on the work in his hand.
Now he is focusing on forging a long sword.
He was seen holding a hammer, and each swing was accurate and powerful. Sparks flew everywhere, guiding the sword to take shape.
It seems that over time, the sword embryo became soft under the high temperature, and then took on its complete shape under the craftsmanship of the strong man.
Finally, when the last hammer falls!
"Buzz--" The sword blade made a crisp sound, marking the completion of the forging process. The strong man picked up the newly-born work and examined it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
Then, the strong man put the long sword into the coolant to quench it.
"Hiss--"
The harsh sound was mixed with a stream of Sisi steam, and a hard protective layer quickly formed on the surface of the sword. Finally, it was polished repeatedly until the sword flashed with a cold light and was extremely sharp.
Chen Junting never disturbed this process from beginning to end.
Instead, we have a wait-and-see mentality and wait quietly for completion.
Now, "Junting, why are you here?"
"Uncle Tai."
Chen Junting Salute briefly to show respect.
That's right, the person in front of you is none other than Thousand Jin Douluo Tai Yu.
The current blacksmith shop is just for his entertainment. After all, Tai Yu, as a descendant of the Strength Clan, blacksmithing can be said to be an ancestral craft for him. In order to prevent this ancestral craft from becoming unfamiliar, Tai Yu will use it as a pastime.
As for now, "I was just passing by and came to take a look."
Having said that, Chen Junting's eyes couldn't help but fall on the newly forged sword. Because of the quality of this sword, he could recognize its extraordinary quality almost at a glance.
This sword is exactly the same as Ji Juechen.
Chen Junting prides himself on not being an excellent blacksmith, so after Ji Juechen joins Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he naturally has to let the person with the best skills take action to avoid any problems in the future.
It seems that this sword is very good now.
"How is it? It's not bad."
Noticing Chen Junting's gaze, Tai Yu proudly flicked the newly reborn "Outer-Heaven Meteorite Sword". The first reaction of the sword was as if the blade was slightly pressed and then rebounded after relaxing.
Then Chen Junting learned from Tai Yu that the latter had added a little Extensible Memory Metal into the forging of this sword.
"Any weapon is too rigid and easy to break. So adding some softness to the weapon will also be beneficial to the user."
"I don't know which bastard repaired this sword before. It's extremely rough. Fortunately, I have superb skills."
Chen Junting heard this and rolled his eyes in his heart:
I'm just a bastard, I'm really sorry!
But it was precisely because of Tai Yu's superb forging skills that he was a master blacksmith ten thousand years ago, so he asked Ji Juechen to find Uncle Tai to repair and recast it.
After looking at the "child" with nostalgia, Tai Yu sheathed the long sword and threw it neatly to Chen Junting.
"Boy, since you are here, you can leave it to him. Although it has not reached the level of "Divine Artifact", in terms of the quality of the sword alone, it is not inferior to the general Titled Douluo and Tool Martial Soul."
"Okay."
Chen Junting glanced at the sheathed sword in his hand.
With it, Ji Juechen's strength can be increased by at least 10% due to the heart-to-heart connection with Martial Soul who is integrated into it.
At night.
After a simple meal, I came to a quiet forest alone. After passing through, Stone Forest came into view.
The night wind blew through the sharp stone pillars that stood like sharp swords. Between the stone pillars, a slender figure was already standing among them, holding a long sword and waving it. The light of the waving sword appeared flickering in the dark night.
I learned from the disciples of the sect that Ji Juechen would find someone to challenge in the sect during the day, and would practice in Stone Forest at night. It can be said that when it gets dark, you can find someone accurately.
"Old Ji."
Chen Junting shouted, took out the long sword and threw it over.
Ji Juechen turned around suddenly and took the long sword with his left hand. As soon as he touched it, he felt his own Martial Soul echoing in it.
He put away his temporary sword and drew it out with a "swish" sound.
Just glanced at it and said, "Good sword."
Chen Junting walked slowly to his side and smiled.
"Why don't you give this sword a try?"
Ji Juechen stands with a sword, and his momentum changes accordingly.
"Please advise."
As he spoke, the fighting spirit burned like a blazing fire.
Chen Junting did not refuse. The next second after he called out Martial Soul, the two figures simultaneously chopped out Sword Qi and collided with each other.
I don't know how long it took, but I only know that the stars in the sky are twinkling more and more, and the two figures fighting in Stone Forest finally stopped.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
Chen Junting asked with a smile, but from the fight just now, he found that Ji Juechen's strength had improved a lot. In addition to the improvement of Soul Power's cultivation, this sword also enhanced him.
"Satisfied." Ji Juechen cherished the word like gold, but the joy in his eyes did not restrain at all. For a sword user, a sword that is handy and powerful is very important.
"Not given a name?"
Hearing this, Ji Juechen pondered for a moment.
"Then it's called "silence"."
Chen Junting naturally has no objection to this.
However, he came to Ji Juechen not only to send the sword, but also to have other important matters. He took out a Jade Box.
"Old Ji, you are about to break through Soul Saint."
Although Ji Juechen didn't understand why Chen Junting suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully. After joining Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he received a piece of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. After absorbing it, he broke through to level 69, one step away from level 70.
Hearing this, Chen Junting nodded slightly.
"In that case, I'll help you."
With that said, he opened the Jade Box in his hand.
"It's killing me."
As soon as a gap was exposed, a sound came from inside, which surprised Ji Juechen. At the same time, an orchid flew out of Jade Box impatiently and suspended in mid-air.
"This is...Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!?"
"That's right." Chen Junting admitted, and also said, "But it also has an identity, that is Immortal Herb--Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid."
Listening to these unfamiliar words, Ji Juechen frowned slightly.
"Immortal Herb..."
