Taihuang Star Seal

When Ding Chen arrived at the weapon refining workshop as promised, the second elder Luo Tong and more than a dozen weapon refiners in the clan had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, uncle!"

A group of people waited, and greeted each other warmly and respectfully.

This is definitely a treatment that my predecessor Ding Chen would never have dared to dream of!

Ding Chen nodded and walked straight to the forging station. He got straight to the point and asked, "Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"

"Yes, uncle, they are all here."

Ding Chen glanced at the dozen or so baskets of various sizes filled with ore and nodded: "Very good."

"Today, I will teach you how to forge swords and gauntlets."

"I'll slow down and explain it carefully."

"How much you can finally comprehend depends on your own ability!"

If it was a month ago, Ding Chen would have been sneered at if he had said this to the "weapon refiners" in his clan who were in their forties or fifties and had a high status.

But now, those weapon refiners, one by one, were like students listening to the master's teachings, concentrating fully.

Regardless of whether this young man in front of him has the true talent for refining weapons...

Just because Ding Chen had previously single-handedly saved the Luo Mansion and turned the tide, these weapon refiners should give their son-in-law some face!

They all remembered that the Second Elder had gathered them here early in the morning and had given them a "vaccination" -

"My son-in-law said he wanted to teach you the method of refining weapons out of kindness, and we can't refuse him."

"When the time comes, even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be 'quite inspired and benefited' in front of this elder. Do you understand?"

"As for whether you will do as your uncle says in the future, that is another matter."

"You can make adjustments based on the actual situation~"

The Second Elder has said this much, how could the weapon refiners not understand?

They all said that they would give their son-in-law enough face and make sure that he would gain a full sense of accomplishment from this "teaching"!

In fact, the lives of these weapon refiners, and even the lives of their wives and children, were saved by Ding Chen.

What's wrong with doing a little bit to make this son-in-law, who is like a "reborn parent" to me, happy?

Because of this, the dozen or so weapon refiners were now gathered around Ding Chen's workstation with great interest.

They have already decided -

No matter how outrageous the "secret method of refining weapons" that the son-in-law will talk about later, you have to nod frequently to show your approval.

"First, the knife."

Ding Chen said calmly: "San'er, go get me 20 kilograms of iron essence, 5 kilograms of Flowing Fire Tin Copper, three purple sandalwoods, and six crystal cores of primary monsters..."

Every time Ding Chen mentioned an ingredient, Wei Sanniang would meticulously take it out of the basket and place it on the table.

There are a total of twenty-seven kinds of materials, large and small, and not a single one is wrong.

This is the benefit of finding a woman who used to be a member of the "cultivation world" to be your maid.

This is because what the cultivators who were born and raised in the cultivation world have seen and heard since childhood are far beyond what the warriors in the secular world can compare to.

This kind of "vision" cannot be cultivated overnight.

Wei Sanniang's performance also surprised the weapon refiners: "She is worthy of being Wei Sanniang!"

"My son-in-law is so powerful that he can take such a wonderful woman as his 'maid'!"

"But then again, the refining materials selected by the son-in-law really seem to be true."

"It seems that my son-in-law has really put some effort into refining weapons. It's rare..."

At this time, Ding Chen added various materials into the furnace in a certain order and proportion.

With the other hand, ten fingers flew outside the stove, controlling the fire and temperature.

That’s right, the first step of refining equipment, “heating”, will also use the “fire control” technique of alchemy.

But generally speaking, the fire control steps in alchemy are more delicate and more difficult.

The slightest mistake will lead to a complete loss!

Therefore, the "control of fire" during alchemy has become more famous.

In comparison, the requirements for fire control when refining equipment are not that strict.

Ding Chen only showed the first step, and the weapon refiners couldn't help but exclaimed: "This... This method of controlling fire by the master is unprecedented!"

"Very sharp!"

"Too strong!"

"If I had the same magical fire control skills as my uncle, I would have tried to become an 'alchemist' who could make money faster and have a higher status..."

The second elder listened to everyone's words and couldn't help laughing in his heart: "Hehe, these guys are quite good at praising people~"

"It's worth it that I gathered them here early in the morning and gave them a lecture."

The second elder, who did not understand weapon refining, could not see how sharp Ding Chen's fire control technique was, so he just thought that everyone was flattering him against their will.

Little did they know that the weapon refiners had already been amazed by their son-in-law.

"My 'fire control' this time only shortens the 'heating' process and does not affect the quality of the final product."

"So, it doesn't matter if you can't learn how to control fire."

“What’s important is the order and proportion of adding these minerals, as well as the details in the subsequent steps.”

"Everyone, please watch carefully..."

As Ding Chen spoke, he poured out the unsolidified material in the furnace, and then hit it with a hammer.

“Bang, bang, bang, boom, boom!”

“Ding ding ding, dang dang dang!”

Ding Chen hammers down to shape the body, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

It seems that every time the hammer falls, there is a kind of Taoist beauty that makes people dizzy.

Ding Chen explained while swinging the hammer.

The alchemists surrounding them were already fascinated by what they heard!

It was because every word uttered by that young man made people feel as if they had been enlightened.

Wei Sanniang, who was standing by, was also very excited when she saw this scene: "This guy actually knows how to refine weapons?"

"No, his level is definitely not as simple as just 'understanding'."

"It is a realm even higher than 'mastery'!"

……

Next comes the third step of refining: cooling.

“Cooling is also very particular.”

Ding Chen said slowly: "If I use ordinary water to cool down a weapon made with my forging technique, it will most likely be 'degraded'."

"Only by mixing the juice of 'Three Sour Grass' and 'Noon Fire Leaf' into water according to the ratio I told you beforehand, can we ensure that the quality of the weapon will not be affected at all after cooling..."

After Ding Chen finished speaking, he put the knife that had just been taken out of the oven into the sink.

“Sizzle!”

With a burst of white smoke, the cooling step was completed.

"Next, it's polishing."

……

"After that, it's time to sharpen the blade!"

……

About an hour later.

Ding Chen threw the sharpened sword onto the finished product and said casually, "It's done."

He had just finished speaking.

Wei Sanniang, who was standing aside, was so surprised that she couldn't be more surprised!

Because, with her keen eyesight, she could tell at a glance that the knife forged by Ding Chen was a genuine "mid-grade treasure"!

"In just one hour, he forged a mid-grade treasure while teaching?"

"This shows that... Ding Chen's true weapon refining level has definitely reached the 'Grandmaster level'!"

"The reason why he was unable to refine a 'superior treasure' at this moment was not because of his inability, but because the materials collected by the Luo Mansion were not of sufficient quality."

According to the standards of the secular world, only those who can forge "superior-grade treasures" are worthy of being called "weapon-making master"!

And looking at the entire Tieyan City.

The weapon refining master who once had the most advanced skills had a very small chance of forging a low-grade weapon only when he was in the best condition.

Now...

The weapon refining realm of most of the other people in the Luo Mansion is still hovering in the range of "middle and lower-grade weapons"!

"How old is Ding Chen? Seventeen? Eighteen?"

"Even in the cultivation world, it is rare to find someone of this age who has such profound attainments in refining equipment."

"I've found such a young 'Grand Master of Weapon Refining' to be my master. I think I've found a treasure, right?"

Thinking of this, Wei Sanniang looked at Ding Chen again, and her eyes were already unconsciously flashing with little stars of admiration...
