Fengwu Qinshang
Chapter 37: First Forging
Qin Rang grabbed with his right hand, and a bowl-sized piece of dark yellow ore flew over and landed on the anvil:
"The first step of forging is cold rolling and purification! The so-called cold rolling and purification is for low-level ores. Intermediate, advanced, top-level, and even holy and god-level ores must be quenched and purified. Young master, remember that everything has a spirit, and this metal is even more spiritual. Look, they have been buried underground for tens of millions of years and have absorbed enough essence from the earth, but too many impurities have affected the cohesion of their spirit. This purification is also called metal awakening. As for the quality of the metal after awakening, part of it is innate, which depends on luck! And the other part depends on the hard forging of the blacksmiths. They are like our children. As long as we are careful enough and patient enough, their growth will be pleasing! Do you understand?"
After listening, Qin Feng finally understood why Qin Rang's eyes were so pure and clear just now! He compared these metals to children. This is the spirit of a craftsman. Qin Feng looked at Qin Rang and nodded with respect.
Watching Qin Rang talking endlessly, Qin Feng pondered, "After traveling through time, I am only attracted to fire, not other attributes! Am I destined to come here to be a blacksmith? But that's fine, the archaeology major I studied is useless here! Why not be a blacksmith? In the future, I will marry a wife and have children. How can I support them without an income? Then this is it!"
Refining medicine? Farming? Tinkering with mechanisms? No! There are no prerequisites!
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng listened to Qin Rang's teachings and swung a sledgehammer with his right hand to smash the dark yellow ore:
"when!"
"It's off! Try again!"
Swing again:
"when!"
"You didn't eat? Try harder!"
"when!"
"Wrong, wrong! Keep your legs apart and your back straight!"
"when!"
"Sink your feet, tighten your waist and abdomen, and use the strength of your waist and abdomen to drive your upper arms!"
"when!"
"How stupid! Too stiff! Your wrists need to be flexible!"
"when!"
"Yeah! It's a little better now. My upper arm drives my lower arm, and my wrist can move back and forth flexibly!"
"when!"
"Make your wrist more flexible and throw it downwards!"
"when!"
"Use your five fingers to exert force. Don't you see that the sledgehammer is about to fly out? Hold it tight!"
“Dangdangdang…”
After about a hundred blows, Qin Feng was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and gasped like a dog. After the last blow with the sledgehammer, he could no longer lift it!
"Yeah! Not bad!"
Looking at the dark yellow metal block on the anvil in front of him, which had been reduced by nearly half in thickness and size, and the debris scattered all over the ground, Qin Rang nodded with satisfaction:
"Come on, come on, you can take a break!"
Then he threw a pile of books to Qin Feng:
"Look carefully at this. This is a detailed introduction to all known spirit stones. It records the entire process from identifying the raw stone to the ninth-level spirit awakening of the metal in great detail. Write it all down for me!"
"Ok!"
Memorizing is very easy for Qin Feng. He became a top student because of his photographic memory. After taking the longevity fruit, his five senses were upgraded again. Now, he can memorize it after reading it once, and he can even recite it backwards!
"Misc iron: light black color, 80% of it is mixed with bare stones, one fist weighs 3.7 jin, soft texture, light silver raw forging, the highest level of spiritual awakening. Mixed iron: dark green, 80% of it is mixed with light sand, one fist weighs 5.3 jin, soft texture, light silver raw forging, the highest level of spiritual awakening. Purple iron: dark purple, 70% of it is mixed with miscellaneous iron, one fist weighs 9.1 jin, soft texture, light silver raw forging, the highest level of spiritual awakening..."
Each type of mineral is recorded in detail, with illustrations attached for easy reference.
Page after page, Qin Feng never expected that there were so many tricks to blacksmithing. The more he read, the more interesting it became. He became more and more engaged and gradually entered a state of ecstasy!
What Qin Rang never expected was that this well-mannered young man would be so dedicated to blacksmithing. He was immediately overjoyed.
"Gulu!"
After a few hours of tossing and turning, Qin Rang's stomach growled and he felt a little dizzy. He thought to himself, "Oh, time to eat!"
Eating is the most important thing, this is Qin Rang’s motto. This big guy can fight to the death, but he is afraid of being hungry!
Seeing Qin Feng fascinated, he did not disturb him and turned around and walked out.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, the curtain was lifted, and Qin Rang walked out.
"Lao Ran, what's going on?"
"Dad! What's wrong with you? Where's Master Qin Feng?"
As soon as he went out, Qin Rang was surrounded by these two people:
"Hey, hey, what are you two doing? Shuang'er, go cook, I'm hungry!"
Seeing Qin Rang's behavior, the two knew that they were fine, but Qin Hu was still worried:
"Yes, Shuang'er, it's getting dark, go cook, I'm hungry too!"
Shuang'er didn't get an answer and was a little hesitant, but she still went out to cook!
"Hey! Lao Rang, what's going on?"
Qin Rang sat down, poured a bowl of water, drank it in one gulp, and laughed:
"Haha! This kid is really a good material for a blacksmith!"
Qin Hu was anxious:
"Come on, tell me what's going on! I'm so anxious!"
Qin Rang glanced at Qin Hu calmly, then said slowly:
"Yes, this guy is indeed fire-attributed, and his bloodline is not low. A hundred times, a hundred times! He swung my fine silver forging hammer a hundred times, and the heavy copper was smashed down by half. Oh my God! It's incredible!"
Qin Hu was an outsider, he rolled his eyes and asked:
"So what?"
Qin Rang widened his eyes:
"So what? You know nothing! Back then, I was also a genius in Xihua Academy!"
"I know this! You returned to our Tiger Village after you were injured? But does this have anything to do with Master Qin Feng?"
"Humph! The entrance exam back then was to use this fine silver forging hammer to cold-roll heavy copper. I swung it thirty-eight times in one breath, and only about two-thirds of the heavy copper was knocked down. I was chased by many forging teachers and was even listed as one of the top ten geniuses in the academy. Do you think it has anything to do with Qin Feng?"
"what!"
Qin Hu certainly knew the person in front of him.
Qin Rang, who had a great reputation on the continent hundreds of years ago, was known as a rare forging genius. But when he succeeded in a top-level spiritual forging, the ninth-level metal spirit broke the meridians in his left arm. Although he recovered later, he could no longer perform top-level spiritual forging.
Having lost his reputation as a genius, Qin Rang returned to his hometown in despair and lived in seclusion in Menghu Village.
Forging is highly respected throughout the continent and is recognized as the number one profession. Any blacksmith will be respected and courted by everyone. From ordinary civilian equipment to war materials for siege and defense, especially in this world where the strong are respected, weapons in human hands are inseparable from forging.
Holding a powerful weapon not only demonstrates one's status and identity, but also shows one's combat power.
Therefore, rankings of famous swords, spiritual weapons, and spiritual tools appeared on the road, and the emergence of these rankings directly led to fighting and plundering among cultivators in order to compete for these famous tools.
It’s just a matter of success or failure!
