Flames rose Sword Furnace.
Master craftsmen Du and Tian, along with the rest of the craftsmen at the Sword Furnace, had faces flushed red by the firelight, filled with solemnity and seriousness.
"It should be almost done." Master Tian nodded slightly.
"I never expected this kid to have this skill." Master Du swallowed hard.
The Sword Furnace, from the master craftsmen to the apprentices, represents the pinnacle of forging techniques across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Yet, they all stood there upright, some with astonishment, some with longing, and some with seriousness.
But their gazes were fixed on a young man, shirtless, standing before the cauldron, dancing with the flames.
The young man seems to be doing something that is captivating to everyone.
Suddenly, he started tossing the wok, and the flames inside surged and subsided.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from time to time from the crowd, but the young man was very confident. Facing so many highly respected craftsmen, he was not intimidated at all. On the contrary, he had a confident air about him, as if he had everything under control!
Nangong Min, passing by, was also drawn to the commotion.
"What are they doing? Could they be preparing for the Heavenly Human City Realm?"
After asking his question, he turned to look at Xie Yiding and noticed that the manor lord had somehow pulled a large bowl out of his sleeve.
"Um, Sect Master, what are you doing with that bowl?"
"Let's eat."
Xie Yiding gave him a strange look.
Nangong Min: "?"
The number of question marks on Chief Nangong's head was increasing.
Xie Yiding coughed lightly and said, "A couple of days ago, Craftsman Tian asked Li Mo how he practiced his exquisite control over the heat. So Li Mo used the fire from the Sword Furnace to cook a dish for them on the spot and demonstrated it to them."
"It's delicious."
"Forging weapons and... cooking?"
The chief of the Southern Palace leaned back slightly.
What the hell is all this?
"That makes some sense. After eating Li Mo's food yesterday, I feel he'll be able to forge Mystic Weapon) soon, and he should be able to try it out today."
Nangong Min recognized all the characters Xie Yiding, so why did they sound so incomprehensible when put together?
Does he really have absolutely no understanding of the art of weapon forging?
In fact, Li Mo did not really want the craftsmen at the Sword Furnace to also engage in any kind of culinary training.
In the past few days, he had learned a lot from everyone, so he used this method to repay their kindness and found an excuse to take over the meals for all the craftsmen.
I'll also take a look at some investment feedback.
[Investment Feedback: Yo-Yo Casting Diagram]
[Investment Feedback: Black Iron Essence]
[Investment Feedback: Baifeng Bamboo Charcoal Powder]
"Sigh, I should have taught you all my skills at once, and let you stay here a little longer."
Du Wufeng patted his stomach, looking somewhat annoyed.
"If Elder Du wants to eat, he can come to me anytime," Li Mo replied.
"That old rascal was just joking. I just didn't expect you to be trying to forge Mystic Weapon so soon." Tian Shenjiang sat at the table, slurping noodles.
"Come on, today you have forged Mystic Weapon. From now on, no one can teach you how to walk this path. It's up to you to forge your own way!"
Du Wufeng slammed his palm onto the Sword Furnace.
Suddenly, a torrent of Fallen Star Flame ignited within the furnace.
Li Mo walked towards the familiar forging table, holding the Star Pestle Plus in his hand, his mind flashing back to every swing of the hammer he had made over the past few days.
He didn't just intend to forge divine weapons.
They also intend to take the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to the next level.
He began to repeat the actions he had performed countless times over the past few days.
Iron is smelted, repeatedly forged, and then quenched.
"Is he planning to forge swords this time as well?"
Tian Shenjiang watched as the prototype of the soldier gradually took shape.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid's ambition is even bigger than I thought."
Du Wufeng suddenly laughed and said:
"He does indeed intend to forge a sword, and it will be a replica of the Heavenly Human Divine Sword!"
"A replica of the divine sword?"
"If it were to be forged, it would at least be a high-grade Mystic Weapon, and how would one replicate its sword essence?"
"For my first attempt at forging Mystic Weapon, I've chosen something so difficult. I wonder if I can succeed..."
Craftsmen who work with fire and iron all day long tend to be honest and simple in nature.
Xiao Li, who won first place in the Hidden Dragon and cooked big meals for them every day, undoubtedly impressed them greatly, and they all hoped that he would succeed.
However, they also knew that Li Mo had his reasons for choosing to acquire the Heavenly Human Divine Sword at this time.
This sword cannot remain in his hands for long. Once he leaves Heavenly Human City, he will have to return it. This opportunity may not come again.
Clang--
The Eight-Nine Arcane Art circulate, Hundred Refinements of Divine Treasures, maintaining a rhythm of a hundred refinements in a single breath.
"Not enough..."
Li Mo sensed the spirit of all the weapons with his heart.
As it stands, this replica of the Heavenly Human Divine Sword is simply unable to withstand the sword's essence, and it has no possibility of being reforged in the future.
However, he is now vaguely reaching his limit in all aspects.
"Elder Du, may I borrow your Fallen Star Flame?"
Li Mo silently changed the hammer, and it became Hammer Treasure in his palm.
The intense, Weapon Intent and the profound meaning of divine craftsmanship spread.
"You..."
Du Wufeng remained silent for a long time.
There is a subtle connection between the Fallen Star Flame and the Calamity Meteor Hammer; when combined, they produce an effect greater than the sum of their parts.
But this is not something that someone in the third realm can master; it is the technique of that celestial craftsman.
If it were him, he wouldn't have taken the risk.
Looking at Li Mo, who was full of vigor and whose Qi and Blood flowed like a dragon, and his burning gaze, Du Wufeng nodded emphatically.
"Alright, you'd better be careful. I suffered a great loss when I tried to tame this fire back then, and it took me several years!"
With a flick of his finger, a spark of pure fire entered Li Mo's body.
His body quickly turned red, like a boiled shrimp.
Pain...
Li Mo felt intense, sharp pain throughout his body, from his limbs to his meridians, and the pain was only getting stronger.
Even a master of Inner Scene cultivation, even one who has reached the pinnacle of external strength, would not dare to let the Fallen Star Flame enter their Dantian so violently.
However, thanks to his immunity to water and fire, Li Mo was not burned to ashes.
But this fire is not only hot, it also harbors a violent energy that, if not released in time, will destroy it.
"Is this considered a trial by fire?"
I felt a significant change in the speed at which my Eight-Nine Arcane Art was improving.
Li Mo raised the Hammer Treasure, and with the help of the sparks, the Hammer Treasure truly ignited, then slammed it down onto the iron blank.
The silent longsword seemed to come alive.
The crisp clang of swords rang out in waves, one after another, lasting for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed.
Suddenly, an exceptionally loud sword cry rang out, piercing into the azure sky.
"He's going to succeed!"
Du Wufeng and Tian Shenjiang's eyes gleamed intensely.
