In the small courtyard, Qin Tiexin looked at the Upper-Grade Law Artifact sword in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the second sword he has successfully forged in the past two days.
The style is the common one in Heavenly South Domain. The sword has a length of three feet and five feet, a width of two and a half fingers, and is bladed on both sides. It does not have any extra decoration. It is no different from the standard products displayed in the weapons shops in the city.
Spirit Rune Array is also the most common Sharpness Spiritual Rune formation. Four Spirit Rune form a formation, all of the Sharpness series, running through both sides of the sword spine from beginning to end.
When spiritual power is injected, a layer of extremely faint white light will float on the sword blade, which has a miraculous effect on ordinary Demon Beast leather armor and the monk's protective aura.
The material can only be said to be average. He did not specifically buy spiritual material ingots. Instead, he picked up his old business of "waste recycling and smelting" and melted the Law Artifact fragments obtained in the secret realm to extract spiritual materials for use.
Although the fragments were of various types and lost a lot of spirituality, after being tempered by Qin Tiexin, the quality was still good enough for practicing.
At first, he planned to rent a refining room at Star Refining Ward.
Star Refining Ward is Ten Thousand Stars City's largest tool refining, alchemy, and talisman workshop. There are more than a hundred floor furnaces in the workshop. Flame is stable, has controllable temperature, and has ready-made anvils, hammers, and quenching pools.
Most of the young people who come to Star Selection Alchemist rent a room there and practice for several days.
Qin Tiexin also had this idea, but this time Secret Realm Trial's incident reminded him not to be too high-profile.
There are many people in Star Refining Ward, and there are many high-level weapon refiners who come to watch the competition. Especially in front of Skills Trial, there are monks everywhere who come to practice.
His weapon-making techniques have many characteristics of Azure Xuan Region, such as the starting position, temperature control method, and quenching timing. Experts can recognize it at a glance. After all, he occupies the identity of "Mingjue", so it is definitely not possible for others to catch the clues, so he can only give up his previous thoughts.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Chen Xi's courtyard has excellent formation coverage. The four walls may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, there are formation foundations buried under the walls, and every inch of land in the courtyard is within the isolation range. He was lighting fires, blacksmithing, and refining weapons inside, but his voice and Spiritual Qi fluctuations could not be transmitted out.
His storage ring also contains tools such as stone platforms, hammers, and carving knives for weapon refining all year round, so he doesn't need to find another place.
The only problem is ground fire.
Without an earth-fire furnace, melting spiritual materials would be a big trouble. No matter how complete his set of refining tools was, he still couldn't create a fire well.
But Qin Tiexin discovered that since he absorbed Red Luan Heart Flame and learned Karma-Burning Wisdom King Flame last time, he has been able to release extremely hot Flame through the guidance of Spiritual Qi.
That should be the "Spirit Fire" that Master mentioned. Luo Ling Master also has a "Azure Nether" Spirit Fire. The temperature is extremely high. Originally, she said she would wait for her Golden Core Realm, so she would find one for herself, but she didn't expect that she would use it at the Qi and Blood Realm.
Flame is drawn from the palm of the hand, and the temperature of the pink flame core is astonishingly high, making it easy to smelt spiritual materials.
Of course, during the Skills Trial competition, the organizer will provide an underground fire furnace, so he doesn't have to worry about it. In the small courtyard, he just practices by himself.
Regarding the specific practice, he already had rules in mind.
First use high-temperature Red Luan Heart Flame to melt the Law Artifact remains, and then use Divine Sense to separate the different spiritual materials and cool them into pure spiritual material ingots.
Then mix spiritual materials with ordinary materials, and control the ratio between 70% and 80%. The resulting embryo is the foundation of Upper-Grade Law Artifact. Finally, use a carving knife to carve the one-piece Spirit Rune Array on it. Spirit Rune can be continuous, smooth, and non-blocking. One Upper-Grade Law Artifact is ready.
The whole process is simple to say, but every step requires effort.
The separation of spiritual materials is the most difficult test for Divine Sense. Different spiritual materials have different melting points. He has to control the fire while sweeping back and forth in the melt with Divine Sense to understand the flow of each material clearly, and then guide them to separate bit by bit.
If the separation is not clean, the embryo will be impure, and Spirit Rune Array will also be affected.
The first one, Law Artifact, was just average. It's been a while since I've used it, so I'm still a little shaky.
The separation of spiritual materials was not complete enough, with impurities mixed in several places, and the surface was slightly uneven after cooling. The smelting temperature was also not well controlled, and the heat was too high, making the embryo brittle and making the sound dull when knocked. Perhaps the only good thing is that the Spirit Rune Array carving is relatively stable. After all, even on the days when he could not refine the weapon, he had been practicing the Spirit Rune carving in his mind Void Realm, and never failed.
Although the Heavenly South Domain is considered a pretty good Upper-Grade Law Artifact on the market, it will definitely not survive the Qin Tiexin.
He did not rush to do it a second time, but first carefully observed the first sword, observed the flaws on it, and reviewed in his mind the details such as the technique, temperature, and time at that time, until he found the most perfect improvement plan.
He kept thinking until the next morning before he started to take action again.
The second handle is much better, which is the handle Qin Tiexin is holding in his hand at this time.
The technique is stable, the spiritual materials are separated cleanly, and the temperature is accurately controlled. After cooling, the sword is filled with a layer of spiritual light like water waves, and when flicked lightly, the sound is like a clear chime.
The moment it was completed, it was an excellent Upper-Grade Law Artifact.
Qin Tiexin reached out to pick up the sword, ran his fingers over the sword's spine, and felt Spirit Rune beating slightly under his fingertips.
In a place like Heavenly South Domain where spiritual materials are scarce, this Upper-Grade Law Artifact, which contains only 75% of spiritual materials, is not weaker than some products that contain 80% or even 90% of spiritual materials.
At this level, Skills Trial can already get a good ranking. The overall level of the young weapon refiner Heavenly South Domain is still a little behind.
This is the confidence of the disciples of Azure Xuan Region Weapon Refining Sect.
He started from the Discarded Artifact Pavilion, and was used to seeing shoddy and low-quality goods. Under the guidance of Martial Uncle Wu, he really got started with weapon refining. Later, he joined the apprentice of Luo Ling, and then he knew what real weapon refining was.
And his current skill in weapon refining is not low even among his peers Azure Xuan Region.
After practicing this sword, it was still early, not yet noon.
But Qin Tiexin has no intention of stopping.
I'm in good condition today, Qi and Blood is smooth, full of spiritual power, and my fingertips are particularly sensitive to Spirit Rune.
He wanted to try the skill that Master Luo Ling showed in front of him back then.
Forging tools with bare hands.
That was when he was just taken in by Luo Ling, and there was only Body Tempering Sixth Layer.
In front of him, the master refined a piece of spiritual material with his bare hands without using an anvil, hammer, or ground fire, carved it into Spirit Rune, pinched it into shape, and finally turned it into a short knife.
He had used that short knife for a long time, from Body Refining Stage to the time of the blood pool, before he lost it somewhere.
When he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the scene that day:
Two pieces of metal hung in front of her, deforming, blending, and forming in the pure fire-attribute spiritual power. Spirit Rune condensed out of thin air, merged into a formation, and slapped the blade into the blade. It was quenched in just a breath.
Finally, the short knife fell into his hand. The lines on the handle touched the palm of his hand, and every anti-slip line was stuck on the point where he held the knife.
His scalp was numb at the time, and he thought it was a magical trick.
Later, his master taught him some of the tricks of this technique, but unfortunately he didn't have enough cultivation, and his eyesight and technique were not strong enough, so he never tried it.
Today, he wanted to try it.
