The room is not small, about fifty square meters. There is a very delicate-looking forge in the center of the room, with flames rising inside and waves of heat billowing.
There is a display cabinet on the side of the room, which displays the materials used in casting. Under the materials, there is a thin wooden board with the price written on it.
There is a large table next to the forge, which is filled with all kinds of tools. Almost all the tools that may be used in forging can be found here.
"This is our forging room. The fee is charged by the hour, fifty taels of silver per hour. If you need any of the materials in the cabinet, you can tell me directly and our firm will deliver them to you right away. In addition, our firm can also provide casters to serve you."
"Then please help me deliver two hundred kilograms of pig iron!"
Although Mu's Merchant Guild has fine iron for sale directly, Gu Sheng decided to make it from pig iron.
The level of casters varies, and the quality of the fine iron they forge also varies. The arrows he made this time are his trump card, so of course he can't be careless.
Mu's Merchant Guild's work efficiency is very fast. In less than five minutes, two hundred kilograms of pig iron has been delivered to the forging room where Gu Sheng is located.
The price of pig iron is not expensive, only one tael of silver for five kilograms, and only forty taels for two hundred kilograms. Gu Sheng didn't know how long it would take him to forge it, so he simply took out the five hundred taels of silver notes and handed it to Qingqing: "You can take it first, and I will give you back any more after I finish the forging."
After Qingqing left with the banknote, Gu Sheng took off all the clothes on his upper body. Gu Sheng's muscles were not exaggerated, but the lines were quite obvious, and his eight-pack abs were clearly visible.
Conventional arrows generally use fine iron to make the arrowhead, and then use other lightweight materials to make the arrow body. The arrow made in this way is lightweight and flies fast, but the disadvantage is also obvious. The load-bearing capacity is not strong. If the force is greater, the arrow body will explode directly. Therefore, Gu Sheng chose to use fine iron to make the arrow body this time, and the spikes of Hallucinogenic Wild Boar serve as arrowheads! Although this will increase the weight of the arrow, Gu Sheng doesn't care. Stone Shattering Crossbow is very powerful. The original arrow weighs almost one or two kilograms. This weight is mainly due to the wide and thick arrow head of the original arrow.
Broad and thick arrows can cause higher damage and are more destructive, but the arrow Gu Sheng chose this time is the stronger spike of Hallucinogenic Wild Boar.
The spikes of Hallucinogenic Wild Boar are not heavy, so the free weight can be added to the arrow body!
The forging furnace is not too big. Gu Sheng can only smelt thirty kilograms of pig iron at a time. Gu Sheng first burns the pig iron until it is red, then takes it out with a clamp and places it on the forging table with a sledgehammer in one hand and beats it violently. This step is for purification.
Although this step is the first step in refining, it is also critical. If this step is not done well, it will lead to insufficient hardness and elasticity of the final product.
Gu Sheng used the hammer method in Helian Casting's Art of War to hit the red iron block hard. Sparks flew for a while, and the casting room was filled with the sound of hammering.
As the beating continued, Gu Sheng gradually entered a strange state. The feeling was very similar to when he was chopping firewood. He felt that the piece of pig iron became vivid in his eyes. He could clearly see the impurities and some of the original veins in it. As he beat, these impurities turned into sparks and flew out.
Half an hour later, Gu Sheng completed the first forging. At this time, the original thirty kilogram iron block lost a lot of weight. Gu Sheng put the completely cooled iron block into the forging furnace again until it burned red, then took it out and continued beating.
As the impurities decreased, he spent less and less time beating. Gu Sheng kept repeating this process until Gu Sheng put the made iron block into special quenching oil for quenching after a hundred times.
Looking at the already bright and lustrous iron block Gu Sheng showed a smile on his face, "Huh! Steel can be made into steel if it is tempered a hundred times!"
Putting down the hundred-smelted refined iron in his hand, Gu Sheng continued to divide the next piece of pig iron and continue forging. Until all the pig iron was forged into hundred-smelted refined iron, he cut the hundred-smelted refined iron into small pieces and began to forge the arrow body!
The step of forging the arrow body has actually become simpler, because Mu's Merchant Guild provides a special mold, and you only need to turn the forged material into molten iron and pour it in.
The next step is not difficult. Pour the Gu Sheng molten iron into the mold and then insert the Hallucinogenic Wild Boar spikes into it when the temperature drops slightly.
After all one hundred and thirty-two arrows were produced, Gu Sheng couldn't wait to open the panel to view it.
[Name]: Gu Sheng
[Age]: 17
[Realm]: Bone Refining Realm (Bronze Bone)
[Martial Arts]: Chop firewood (Tier 1 Rend), Archery (First-order Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (Tier 1 Mighty Strength), Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art (Tier 1 Body Strengthening), Snake Breathing Technique (First Order Snake Breathing), Flying Thunder Leg (Tier 1 Extreme Speed), Golden Body Art (30% success), Wrathblood Three Forms (44% success), Helian Weapon Forging Art (75% success), Blood Revitalizing Technique (85% success), Shadow Concealment Art (8% entry level)
"Not bad! It actually increased by six points! It seems that I will have to spend more time practicing in the future!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but laugh after seeing the progress of Helian Weapon Forging Art, and made up his mind to cast more in the future. After all, Helian Tielian once told him that as long as he refined Helian Weapon Forging Art to perfection and combined with the casting techniques she gave later, he could create a treasure!
Treasure weapons are different from ordinary weapons in that they are harder, more lethal, and even have some additional abilities, which are quite magical!
Gu Sheng touched the mold and estimated that it would take some time to cool down. He did not want to waste time and simply started practicing Shadow Concealment Art here.
After a long time, the arrow finally cooled down. Gu Sheng took the arrow out of the mold, held the tail of the arrow in one hand, and moved the tip of the arrow with the other.
With a buzzing sound, the arrow body swayed back and forth like a spring, with a large amplitude and full elasticity!
"Not bad!"
Gu Sheng is very satisfied with the arrows forged on this occasion. The arrows made of this kind of elastic refined iron can carry stronger power and are easier to recycle!
Gu Sheng packed the forged arrows, put on his clothes, opened the door of the casting room and walked out.
"Phew! It's still comfortable outside!"
After leaving the forging room, a cool feeling suddenly hit me, and Gu Sheng felt that even breathing became much smoother.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Qingqing, who was drowsy not far away, suddenly woke up.
"Ah! Have you finished refining it?"
Qingqing rubbed his eyes and cheered up and walked over.
During the forging, Gu Sheng entered a very strange state and had no concept of time. Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is it very late now? Have I been in there for a long time?"
Qingqing smiled softly, "You have been in there for eighteen hours, and it is already late at night."
Gu Sheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Yugi scratched his head in embarrassment. "Um, I'm sorry! I... I didn't pay attention to the time, and it delayed your sleep."
Qingqing waved his hand quickly. "No delay, no delay, I live not far from here, I can get there in a few minutes' walk." Qingqing took the list in his hand and wrote and drew before handing it to Gu Sheng: "This is your consumption list! You still need to make up five hundred and fifty taels."
Gu Sheng looked at the list, and found that in addition to the cost of pig iron and renting the forging room, the extra one hundred and ten taels were for molds.
Gu Sheng took out six banknotes with a face value of one hundred and handed them to her, "No need to look for them! I'll give you the extra fifty taels as a tip! I'm sorry for making you wait so late."
Out of the Mu's Merchant Guild, cool breeze blows.
It was already mid-October, the weather was fine during the day, but it was already cool at night.
There is no curfew in Saint Pill City. There are street lamps made of animal fat on the streets at intervals, which look quite artistic.
Although there is no curfew in Saint Pill City, most shops are closed at this time, and only casinos and brothels are still busy.
I don't know if it's because it's night, but the girls in the brothel are dressing more unrestrainedly. The tulle they were wearing during the day is gone now, and there is only a narrow piece of cloth tied to the chest.
Hearing that seductive voice, Gu Sheng glanced at it and couldn't help but blushed and walked over quickly, muttering, "See no evil, see no evil!"
Saint Pill City has no restrictions on entry and exit at night. Gu Sheng returns directly to Fire Bamboo Forest after leaving Saint Pill City.
Fire Bamboo Forest There are no street lights, and the moonlight can hardly shine here on the backside of the three peaks of Shengdan Peak. Even with Gu Sheng's eyesight, he is half-blind and can only rely on memory to walk back.
Fortunately, there were smooth bluestone roads along the way. He quickly returned to the residence of the handyman disciple.
Suddenly Gu Sheng felt that he was tripped by something and lost his balance. The cloth bag with arrows on his body fell to the ground, and he let out a scream in the dark night.
"Ouch!"
Gu Sheng Hearing the scream, he hurriedly took out the Huozhezi from his arms and saw that the person who knocked him down was a handyman disciple, and it was the quiver that hit his foot.
This place was only a few steps away from Gu Sheng's wooden house. He couldn't help but asked in confusion, "You are not in your own room at night, why are you lying here?"
This person is the one who took Shi Lezhi silver coins during the day.
When he saw it was Gu Sheng, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he said nonsensically, "Brother Gu, please come back, I'm sorry if I tripped you! The moon is beautiful today. I was originally here to enjoy the moon, and I never thought I would fall asleep accidentally."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the quiver on his feet and handed it to Gu Sheng. The quiver was originally simple, but his sharp eyes saw the dense arrows inside.
"Hey, Senior Brother Gu, your arrows are really novel. They are made of fine iron. They are really heavy. Take them and I will go back to sleep first!"
After returning the quiver to Gu Sheng, he hurriedly left.
Holding the quiver Gu Sheng looked up at the sky that was almost completely blocked by three mountain peaks, with a strange look in his eyes. "Moon viewing? Does this guy have clairvoyance?"
This man was just a jade-skin warrior. Although Gu Shen had doubts in his heart, he didn't take it to heart. After returning to the house and bolting the door, Gu Sheng took off his clothes and went to bed.
Forging is a physical job, and I don't feel tired when doing it. Now Gu Sheng feels a little sore all over his body, very lacking, and snored as soon as he touched the pillow.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng came to the Chiyun Mountain Range again with ten arrows made by himself and Shi Nu.
Gu Sheng didn't go very far this time. He just found a deserted place and survived. He came today mainly to test the power of the arrows!
Gu Sheng picked up the arrow and hit it on Stone Shattering Crossbow, aimed at a big tree surrounded by people thirty meters away, and gently pulled the crossbow. Stone Shattering Crossbow made a loud noise, and the arrow shot out from the crossbow with a whoosh.
"Crack!"
The arrow penetrated the big tree easily, and the sound it made was not loud because of the speed. After passing through the big tree, the arrow penetrated three more in succession and finally nailed the fifth tree.
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the first book that was shot began to shatter from the hole pierced by the arrow, and it collapsed in a few breaths.
Gu Sheng When he walked in and took a look, he realized that the texture structure of the tree trunks had been greatly damaged. The first tree was the first to contact the arrow and was shattered from the entrance of the hole by the strong force from above. The force was unbalanced and then it fell.
The remaining trees were relatively stable except for the second one, which was a little shaken.
Gu Sheng is very satisfied with this power! If this were replaced with the previous arrow, it would be able to blow up the first big tree at most and lose its power. After being replaced with an arrow body made of hundreds of refined iron, it is more than two or three times more powerful!
Stone Shattering Crossbow Because of their great power, the previous arrows were disposable due to material issues. After being shot, the arrow body would be exploded by the force. Gu Sheng When he came to the fifth tree to pull out the arrow he made, he found that the arrow was still intact. He also deliberately flicked it and found that the strength was still the same, which did not affect the continued use at all. Even the colorful luster of the spikes on the arrow did not change at all.
As an excellent archer, you must have a clear concept of how powerful and how far the arrows in your hands are, so that you can choose the best shooting distance in battle and exert your strongest combat power!
Gu Sheng then began to test the effective shooting distance of the arrows. After testing, it was found that the maximum shooting distance of the special hundred-refined iron arrows shot by Stone Shattering Crossbow was 500 meters. Of course, at this distance, there is almost no substantial offensive effect; Even ordinary trees can only be submerged a little bit, and the more effective attack distance is three hundred meters. Gu Sheng estimates that if he wants to pose a fatal threat to the Copper Bone Realm's people or achieve the effect of killing with one hit, he must control the shooting distance within one hundred meters!
Judging from the results of the first test, Gu Sheng estimates that if the distance is thirty to fifty meters, Silver Bone Realm's people may also feel a headache if the sneak attack is done properly.
However, this distance is too close, and Stone Shattering Crossbow's voice is too loud, so it will be easily discovered, making a sneak attack very difficult!
Gu Sheng looked at Stone Shattering Crossbow in his hand and fell into deep thought. At this time, something called a silencer appeared in his mind!
