Chapter 136: Steelmaking

There are many martial arts masters in this world, and there are also many masters flying around in the sky.

Li Chenan looked at the figure rushing forward without thinking about anything else. He boarded the carriage and headed towards the wine shop by the Peach Blossom Creek.

Over there at the winery, the blacksmith shop that Huang Sanlie built a few days ago should be almost ready.

If Huang Sanlie also obtained iron ingots and found a reliable craftsman, he could try the iron smelting method.

He can only try, because Li Chenan in his previous life was not a blacksmith, and in his memory, there was no smelting method. He had only heard of Baidu Steelmaking.

As for how to make this hundred steel... I think it's just to forge it a hundred times.

Well, it seems that charcoal infiltration is needed. As for the charcoal infiltration method, he doesn’t know, so this thing needs experienced blacksmiths to try.

Sitting in the carriage, I simply thought about the matter of steelmaking and put it aside.

He was thinking about what Yang Sixian said about what Ning Guo was facing now.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, that kind of thing has nothing to do with you at least now.

Mobei is far away from Guangling City. If all the troops of the Wilderness Kingdom come to Guangling City, the Ning Kingdom will almost be destroyed.

Now that the marriage has happened, the war in Mobei will probably not start again.

But Ningguo is surrounded by more than just a wild country in the north!

There are Huihe people in its southwest.

To the west is the Xiye Kingdom of the Western Regions.

To its south is the State of Wu.

To the east is the country of Yue.

If these countries also take advantage of this opportunity to launch a war against Ningguo... then Ningguo will make things worse and will fall if it fails.

How can there be intact eggs under the overturned nest? How can one survive in troubled times?

Therefore, what should be prepared must be prepared in time.





On the bank of Peach Blossom Creek, to the east of the winery, the stove in the blacksmith shop has already lit a charcoal fire.

A tall, bearded man about forty years old was standing next to the stove.

His name is Li Gang.

Ben runs a blacksmith shop in the West City, but he was called here by Butler Huang?? - He is from the Zhongli Mansion, so of course he has to take orders from Butler Huang.

Butler Huang said that the young man named Li Chenan was going to build a blacksmith shop here, saying that the young man had a better smelting method... Of course he was extremely doubtful about this, because he had been forging iron for more than 20 years.

The city has become somewhat famous, and he has had several apprentices. He thinks that he is already familiar with the smelting method, and there is no way he can come up with any good ways to improve it.

But what Li Chenan said to him at this moment shocked him.

"...Young Master, the so-called Hundred Refinements, how long will it take for this to be completed?"

"Try it, weigh it every time you forge it. What I mean is that you weigh it every time you forge it. I believe it will become a little lighter each time until the weight no longer changes."

Li Gang pondered for a moment, "Then try it, little man."

So he tied on his apron and put an iron ingot into the furnace.

After a while, there was a clanking sound in the blacksmith shop. Li Gang was forging very seriously, and Li Chenan was watching carefully and expectantly.

After the first forging was completed, Li Gang put the iron stone on the scale and weighed it. Sure enough, it was two taels lighter.

This is normal, because he knows that the iron ingot contains many impurities.

In the past, he used to hammer the iron repeatedly in this way, but he never used weighing to measure the results.

"Wait a minute," Li Chenan said to Li Gang after the iron piece was red-hot again, "fold it first, and then forge it after folding!"

"Remember, fold it after every time it is red."

"……good!"

A full hour passed like this, and when Li Gang weighed himself again, there was really no change in the weight.

"That's it, now you use this thing to make a... dagger!"

Li Gang used another stick of incense to create a very exquisite dagger.

He took the dagger and took a closer look, and was immediately delighted.

The dagger was very bright, glowing with silver.

It has a layer of fine dragon scale-like textures on it, which looks very beautiful.

I just don't know how sharp it is and how strong its edge is.

"Master, take a look."

He handed the dagger to Li Chenan. Li Chenan played with it, looked around, and went to the stove to get a wooden stick.

He used the dagger to peel the wooden stick, and the effect was very good. He easily cut off a piece of the wooden stick without using much effort.

Looking at the blade again, there is no sign of curling.

Wu Xichen's eyes widened at the side. He took the dagger from Li Chenan's hand, and then pulled out the sword from his back with his other hand.

In front of everyone's eyes, the dagger in his right hand and the sword in his left hand collided.

"Qiang..."

The sword in his left hand was broken in two!

But the dagger in his right hand also had a small cut.

"Tougher than a sword, and sharper than a sword, but the edge is still not strong enough. If we can solve this problem... we can create a peerless magic weapon!"

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately knew that the young master's method was indeed feasible.

But, how can we make the cutting edge stronger?

He looked at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan pondered for a moment and said to him: "Try this for a while. Increase the firepower of the furnace and use the crucible to melt the pig iron into molten iron."

"After the steel is made, pour molten iron on it and then forge it. Melting the molten iron five times and quenching it five times may result in steel with excellent rigidity!"

Then, the sound of tinkling tinkling sounded again in the blacksmith shop.

Li Gang carefully operated every step, and after an hour and a half, he crafted a sword about three feet and seven inches long!

This sword is completely opposite to the Fuji sword Li Chenan carries on his back.

The Fuji sword is as black as ink.

This sword is as bright as snow!

Li Gangzai looked at the sword carefully and carefully stroked the sword. The scales on the sword were clearly visible.

"Master, try again."

Li Chenan directly handed the sword to Wu Xichen.

Wu Xichen took the sword and poured his internal energy into it. The long sword trembled as if there was a sound of dragon roar coming from it.

He was immediately overjoyed and quickly walked out of the blacksmith shop.

He flew into the sky and danced his sword in the air. The long sword withstood his strong internal force, and he slashed down a huge boulder at the foot of the mountain.

"boom……!"

The boulder shattered with the sound, and he fell to the ground, looking at the sword carefully.

"how?"

"What a sword!"

"Is it broken?"

"without!"

"Then I'll give you this sword. Give it a name?"

"Wait a minute," Wu Xichen saw Li Xiaohua walking over. He grinned, "Boy, draw your sword!"

Li Xiaohua was startled, "What are you doing with your sword?"

"Kick me with a knife!"

Li Xiaohua was shocked, thinking that this old man was tired of living?

"hurry up!"

Li Xiaohua looked at Li Chenan in surprise, and Li Chenan nodded. He pulled out the knife on his back, roared, and struck Wu Xichen with the knife.

Wu Xichen raised his sword, "Clang..." There was a crisp sound, and Li Xiaohua suddenly felt a lightness in his hand. He opened his mouth wide, and after a moment he yelled: "Pay for my sword!"

Huang Sanlie was extremely shocked.

Li Gang was in disbelief.

Li Xiaohua was distraught and angry.

Only Li Chenan felt relieved.

Wu Xichen laughed, "This sword is called Donkey Killer!"

"...What donkey to kill?"
Chapter completed!
