Tang San's Story 5: Forging Research

Tang San was a little surprised, but still reached out and took the wooden box.

When I opened it, I found a stack of slightly yellowed drawings neatly stacked inside.

He took out one and looked at it carefully, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Drawn on the paper were formulas for various metal alloys.

Each sheet corresponds to an alloy, and the material ratios and smelting steps are clearly and thoroughly marked.

Tang San The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.

The exquisiteness of these recipes far exceeded his expectations.

The materials used are all Douluo Continent common metals. Through special combination and smelting, new metals with completely different properties can be forged.

Some are indestructible, some are as light as a feather, and some can conduct Soul Power unimpeded...

"Could it be... that this is the recipe left behind by my uncle Sea God Xia Yang when he forged the artifact?"

His mind was suddenly attracted, and most of his previous depression was gone.

As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San has a persistent pursuit of forging and Hidden Weapon. To him, these drawings are simply a coveted treasure.

"Mistress? Mistress!"

Zhu Zhu Qing Seeing him Jiujiu staring at the drawings in a daze, he gently pushed his arm and called in a low voice.

Tang San suddenly came to his senses, a shy smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry, these recipes are so exquisite that I'm fascinated by them."

"As long as you like it."

Xia Guyi smiled warmly and said, "Since I gave it to you, I will have plenty of time to think about it slowly. I hope it can be of some help to you."

"Thank you, cousin!"

Tang San solemnly put the wooden box into Storage Soul Tool, saluted and thanked Xia Tian and Xia Guyi again, then took Zhu Zhu Qing's hand and left Imperial Palace.

In the following months, Tang San and Zhu Zhu Qing traveled together in the mainland.

There was no set itinerary for their trip this time, they just walked as they pleased, wherever they went.

The mountains, rivers, vegetation, and street fireworks along the way also gradually calmed down the waves in Tang San's heart.

Half a year later, they came to a city shrouded in a metallic aura.

Here is Gengxin City, known as "Metal Capital".

As soon as the two entered the city, the hot smoke of fireworks hit their faces, and the sound of tinkling metal was heard.

There are many blacksmith shops on both sides of the street, fine iron filings are scattered on the ground, and a light dust floats in the air.

Zhu Zhu Qing subconsciously waved his sleeves to brush away the flying dust in front of him, and asked softly, "Third brother, what are we doing here? There are blacksmith shops everywhere, and they are full of dust."

Tang San held her hand tightly, smiled and shook the Storage Soul Tool on her wrist.

"Zhu Zhuqing, have you forgotten the metal formulas that your eldest cousin gave me when you left Douluo City?"

"You want to study them here?"

Zhu Zhu Qing understood immediately.

"Exactly."

Tang San nodded, glanced at the noisy market in front of him, and said, "Gengxin City is the Metal Capital of the Douluo Continent. It has the most complete materials and the most complete facilities. It can be used to try to forge those Special Metal."

With that said, he pulled Zhu Zhu Qing towards the Blacksmith Association in the center of the city.

Blacksmith Association is the most authoritative location of Gengxin City, which brings together outstanding blacksmiths from all over the world and also provides top-notch shop rentals.

Tang San found the steward of the association, explained his intention, and rented the best blacksmith shop at a high price.

The shop is fully equipped with furnaces, bellows, and forging tables, as well as a dedicated material warehouse.

From that day on, Tang San devoted himself wholeheartedly to this blacksmith shop.

Comparing the formula on the drawing, he began to try it over and over again, smelting, forging, quenching... over and over again.

Tang San gets up before dawn every day, makes fire, prepares materials, smelts, and forges, doing each process meticulously.

Zhu Zhu Qing stayed by his side silently, helping him take care of his daily life, and occasionally helping out.

The forging process is not smooth sailing. Many recipes have extremely strict requirements on heat and smelting timing. If you are not careful, you will fail.

But Tang San didn't care. If he failed, he would try again. Relying on the forging experience accumulated in his previous life and Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in this life, he figured out the secrets little by little.

The sound of metal colliding has become the most commonly heard melody in the blacksmith shop.

Time flies so fast, one year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, Tang San's blacksmith shop gradually became famous in Gengxin City.

The strange metals he forged were far more efficient than ordinary metals, attracting many Soul Master and blacksmiths to come and inquire about them.

Some people wanted to buy his metal at high prices, but they were all declined by Tang San.

He forged these metals not for profit, but to study formulas and improve his forging skills.

In addition, Tang San also plans to use these metals to forge an "artifact" of his own just like Xia Yang forged the artifact.

Just as Tang San was accumulating metal bit by bit in Gengxin City, his reputation also reached Divine Craftsman Lou Gao's ears.

Lou Gao is the legend of Gengxin City and one of the few Divine Craftsmans of the Douluo Continent. He has been pursuing the ultimate in forging his whole life.

When he heard that there was a young man who could forge strange metals that he had never seen before, he immediately became interested and decided to go and see for himself.

On this day, Tang San finally successfully forged the last batch of metal named "Wan Pi Si".

This metal is as thin as a hair, yet indestructible and can be bent at will, making it an excellent material for making utensils.

Tang San looked at the neatly arranged "Wan Pi Si" in front of him, and breathed a long sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and all those unique metals, Tang San, have been created.

He planned to rest for a few days and leave Gengxin City with Zhu Zhu Qing.

Tang San first distributed generous Gold Soul Coin to several workers who helped in the blacksmith shop, thanking them for their assistance this year.

When the workers got Gold Soul Coin, they were all overjoyed and thanked Tang San repeatedly.

Just when Tang San turned around and was about to extinguish the flames in the furnace, an old but powerful voice suddenly came from the door.

"Young man, wait a moment."

Tang San followed the sound and turned around, only to see a white-haired and energetic old man standing at the door.

The old man was stout, dressed in simple gray robes, holding an iron crutch in his hand, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he was looking at him with interest.

When the workers around saw the old man, their expressions changed, and they quickly saluted respectfully and said, "I have seen the building Grandmaster!"

"Lou Grandmaster?"

Tang San's heart moved, and he instantly guessed the identity of the other party - Divine Craftsman Lou Gao!

So, Tang San quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "Junior Tang San, I have seen the building Grandmaster."

Lou Gao ignored the others and walked straight to the box containing "Wan Pi Si". He reached out and picked up a piece of metal wire as thin as a hair, placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, then pinched it gently with his fingertips, with a look of amazement on his face.

He turned to look at Tang San and asked straight to the point, "These metals you made are the formulas of today's Cang Lan Empire Your Majesty rewards?"
