Chapter 92 The Soul-Severing Dart, Refining Begins! (Please Subscribe) (Please Vote)

By the time we left the exhibition hall, it was almost lunchtime.

However, there weren't many places to eat around the convention center, and Xu Zhiyi was too lazy to go back and ask Jiang Shangge for a meal, so she left the convention center directly.

As he walked, he took out his phone and searched for metal smelting and processing.

As it turns out, there are indeed quite a few smelting plants and some privately owned studios in Shanghai.

He glanced at the introductions; those factories all produced large quantities of goods, while the private studios were willing to take on small jobs, but they refused outright when they heard it involved smelting iron meteorites.

They said they had never done this kind of work before and were afraid of making a mistake.

Xu Zhiyi made several phone calls before someone was willing to take the order.

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a young man with a slight Shanghai accent.

"Iron meteorites are not easy to obtain; you need a high-temperature furnace and a high-purity graphite crucible—are you dealing in large quantities?"

"Less than two kilograms," Xu Zhiyi answered truthfully.

"That's alright, I can do small parts." The other party paused, then quoted a price, "The labor fee is 1,500. If you can accept that, bring it over to take a look."

"OK!"

Xu Zhiyi agreed without hesitation.

After getting the address, he hung up the phone and immediately called a ride-hailing service.

The studio is located in a cultural and creative park near Songjiang University Town. It's not close to the convention center; it took more than half an hour to get there by taxi.

He wasn't in a hurry; he'd come here specifically for this matter.

As long as we can get this black iron ingot sorted out, any extra trouble is fine.

The park is not large; it appears to be a converted old factory.

He found the workshop by the address. The storefront was small, and the sign read "Ah Jie Sword Forging Workshop".

As soon as I pushed open the door, a wave of heat hit me.

The interior space was quite large, filled with various metal materials and sword-shaped semi-finished products. There were also two rows of iron racks along the wall, filled with cold weapons.

A young man in gray overalls was standing next to the iron frame, holding a long sword in his hand, fiddling with something.

Hearing the noise, he turned around, took off his goggles, revealing a face with a scholarly air, looking to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

"Are you the one on the phone? The one from the meteorite?"

"Yes, it's me, my surname is Xu." Xu Zhiyi nodded.

"Just call me A-Jie. Did you bring the stone?"

"I brought it."

Xu Zhiyi handed over the storage box.

Ah Jie placed it on the workbench beside him, unwrapped the tightly sealed packaging, picked up the iron meteorite, examined it from all angles, and weighed it in his hand. Somewhat surprised, he said, "This should be genuine, right? It's quite large; it must be worth a lot of money, right? Are you sure you want to melt it down? If you melt it down, it won't be worth anything!"

"Melt it!"

Xu Zhiyi said resolutely.

"Okay." A-Jie nodded and continued, "So what do you plan to melt it into? Or are you planning to use this iron meteorite to forge a sword? If you're going to use it to forge a sword, I can charge you a little less for your labor."

"I don't want to forge a sword; I want to melt it down into an ingot." Xu Zhiyi took out a silver ingot and handed it over. "It just needs to be about the same size as this silver ingot."

Ah Jie took the silver ingot, looked at it twice, and then weighed it in his hand. "This one probably won't do. This kind of silver ingot is an antique imitation and is relatively small. I only have modern silver ingot molds."

Five liang is 250 grams, which is slightly larger than yours.

"It's okay if it's a little bigger."

Xu Zhiyi wasn't sure if it would be feasible to melt it down into a silver ingot the size of a silver ingot, so she could only let him melt down one ingot to try it out first.

"As long as you don't mind."

After saying that, Ah Jie quickly began to prepare.

He first weighed the meteorite on an electronic scale, then put on leather gloves, opened the furnace door, put in a special graphite crucible, added some flux, put the meteorite in, closed the furnace door, and turned on the switch.

The furnace emitted a low hum, and through the observation window, one could see the meteorite inside slowly turning red.

Ah-Jie pointed to a chair in the corner of the studio, "You can sit over there for a while. It'll probably take about half an hour to melt."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and walked over to sit down.

Ah Jie returned to the iron rack and continued fiddling with the sword in his hand.

Through casual conversation, Xu Zhiyi learned that A-Jie's main orders came from custom-made cold weapons online; he would make whatever the customer wanted.

According to him, he fell in love with forging cold weapons after watching the "Forging Competition", and his biggest goal now is to forge a divine weapon that can truly rival the champion's sword.

Time slipped away quietly as we chatted.

About half an hour later, A-Jie went over to take a look and said, "It's almost done."

He put on thick heat-resistant gloves and used long-handled tongs to remove the crucible, which contained a pool of bright red, shimmering liquid metal with some blackish-gray slag floating on the surface.

The slag had to be carefully skimmed off, and then the molten metal from the crucible was slowly poured into a pre-prepared mold.

"Sizzle!"

A plume of white smoke rose up.

"Okay, just wait for it to cool and solidify."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and waited patiently.

About twenty minutes later, the temperature of the mold dropped.

Ah Jie used pliers to pick up the mold and tapped it a few times, and a "silver ingot" fell out.

Xu Zhiyi reached out and touched it.

It's still a bit hot, but the information has been released.

You have obtained Fragment 1 of Mystic Iron.

His brows furrowed instantly.

Fragments?

This thing is already a whole size bigger than the silver ingots given in the game.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at A-Jie and asked, "Do you have any other molds here? Any bigger than this one?"

'

"Yes, I have."

Ah Jie turned around and pulled out several molds of different shapes from the shelf.

Xu Zhiyi looked around and finally picked out three molds of different sizes, all of which were a little larger than the original ones, and asked A-Jie to help pour the molten metal into them.

Another twenty minutes or so passed.

Three brand-new metal ingots cooled and solidified.

Xu Zhiyi picked up the metal ingots one by one.

You have obtained Fragment 1 of Mystic Iron.

You have obtained Fragment 1 of Mystic Iron.

You have obtained 1 Black Iron Ingot

Become!

Xu Zhiyi's tense heart immediately relaxed.

He held the black iron ingot in his hand, and the information on the game panel was clearly visible:

【Item】：Mysterious Iron Ingot 【Type】：Refining Material 【Description】：Made from the essence of five metals, it is dense, hard and heavy, and is an excellent material for refining spiritual weapons and magic treasures.

Xu Zhiyi smiled with satisfaction and looked at A-Jie, saying, "I'll have to trouble you again to remelt the other metal ingots, and do it all according to this standard."

"OK."

Ah Jie didn't ask any more questions and got busy doing what he asked.

Time passed by, second by second.

Once the last mold cooled and solidified, the nearly two-kilogram iron meteorite had completely transformed into four similarly sized black iron ingots.

Ah Jie brought out an electronic scale and weighed each piece one by one.

The four black iron ingots each weighed around 375 grams, with an error of no more than 1 gram.

In other words, there is a loss of about 300 grams.

At 56 yuan per gram, that's more than 20,000 yuan wasted.

Xu Zhiyi felt a little sorry for him.

But more than anything, I'm satisfied.

The only regret was that there was one less than the five black iron ingots he had expected.

But it doesn't really matter.

During his trip to Shanghai, he met Zhang Zhongtian, a "materials merchant," and also befriended A-Jie, a "blacksmith," making it much easier for him to obtain black iron ingots in the future.

He scanned the code to pay, first put the four black iron ingots into his pocket, and then transferred them into his storage bag.

The materials for crafting the Soul-Severing Dart are all ready!

With a slight thought, he directly summoned the weapon refining panel.

Open the blueprint for the [Soul-Severing Dart].

【Required Materials】:

3 Black Iron Ingots (4/3)

Nether Stone 1 (1/1)

Peach wood core 1 (1/1)

Obsidian 5 (5/5)

Black Chalcedony 2 (2/2)

Rat Demon Leader's Fangs 1 (1/1)

Vertebra 1 of the water demon leader (1/1)

Demon Blood 10 (10/10)

[All materials are ready. Shall we begin crafting the Soul-Severing Dart?]

Xu Zhiyi had a sudden thought.

【Yes! 】

In an instant, all the materials in the storage bag vanished into thin air!

On the weapon crafting panel, the "Rubik's Cube" composed of many cubes reappeared, began to rotate and change continuously, and its surface color also changed accordingly.

[Spirit weapon being crafted—]

[Estimated time: 7 days]

Current progress: 0%

It will take a full seven days!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Soul-Severing Dart is a low-grade spiritual weapon, with built-in tracking and suppression of evil spirits. It is definitely more complex than a basic storage bag, so it is reasonable that it takes longer to complete.

Seven days it is.

We've waited so many days already, what's another seven?

Instead of waiting, I'll exchange it for a spirit weapon that comes with built-in tracking and enemy detection!

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
