Chapter 96 Sword Forging and Enlightenment
Under Ji Wen's hard work, the iron stone was gradually forged into a three-foot-long sword.
In the process of making the sword, Ji Wen experienced the changes of iron and stone with his heart. At the same time, he also understood the way of tempering with thousands of hammers. Although the sword-making process seemed easy, Ji Wen went through unimaginable fatigue.
But there was no bitterness in his heart at all, only excitement and happiness. After forging the sword this time, he not only had a deeper understanding of what it means to forge the sword, but also because when forging the sword, he devoted himself wholeheartedly.
When he went in, his physical body, blood, inner energy, and soul were all immersed in it, so this sword-making process yielded unexpected benefits.
An hour later, the sword was completed!
Xiaohei and the others quickly gathered around, grabbed the long sword from Ji Wen's hand, and gently stroked the sword's blade. The sword's body was as warm as jade, and the cold edge was exposed. It looked like it was a good sword at first glance.
Xiao Hei couldn't wait to swing his sword and struck it on an iron stone. The iron stone cracked in response to the sharp blow. The sword's mouth was smooth and dew could not get on it, and there was not a single scratch on the sword's body.
"This..." The three of them tried again in disbelief, and the result was exactly the same.
"What a sword..." Xiaohei and the three of them shouted excitedly as they loved it.
"Ji Wen, please tell me how you did it?" The three of them surrounded Ji Wen, asking each other one after another.
"Stop for a moment! Let me slow down for a moment..." Ji Wen had no choice but to cross his legs and adjust his breathing. After recovering some of his energy, he said, "What do you want to know?"
"Have you learned Elder Fan's skill in refining weapons?" The three of them had just discussed it while Ji Wen was adjusting his breath.
"Can you say yes? Or can you say no?" Ji Wen thought for a while and sorted out his thoughts on how to answer their questions.
"Well! What do you mean?" The three of them became more and more confused as they asked.
"Let's put it this way! From Elder Fan's technique, I have learned a different kind of technique, or put it this way! From Elder Fan's weapon-refining technique, I have learned a way, a way of hard work and refinement!"
"The Tao of Thousands of Refinements? What is this?" The three of them looked at each other and saw each other's doubts in their eyes. They had never heard of a Tao called Thousands of Refinements.
"Ah... don't say anything unethical to us ordinary people. Let me ask you, did you really learn it from Elder Fan's demonstration that day?" Xiao Hei asked hurriedly.
"So to speak!"
"You kid, you learned how to hide it from me, do you want to see our jokes?" Maotou jumped up, strangled Ji Wen's neck and began to fight, while Lao Lin and Xiao Hei were not idle either.
They all held down Ji Wen's hands and feet and "tortured him to extract a confession."
"Even if I say it, I'm afraid you won't believe it yourself. Besides, this is my first time making a sword. How did he know that it can really be done?"
"What you say makes sense!" The three of them agreed. "Then tell me, based on your current strength, how many swords can you forge in one day?"
"Three handles should be fine." Ji Wen made an estimate before speaking.
"Hahaha... three handles? That's it..." The three of them couldn't help but giggle. If Ji Wen's castings were of such quality, they would definitely be able to be sold at a good price.
Originally, they planned to sell the swords they made directly to the people in Tieji Mountain, but now they found that the swords made by Ji Wen were better than those in Qitang, so they had to make a new plan.
"I think it's better to do this!" Mao Tou thought for a moment before saying, "Since Ji Wen is the only one making swords now, the four of us must share the good work and earn as much as possible."
"Well...then what are your plans?" Lao Lin and the others asked.
"Ji Wen, you will be responsible for forging the sword, Lao Lin, you will be responsible for the smelting, Xiao Hei, you will be responsible for tempering the blade and sharpening it, and I will personally take the sword to the area of Mount Kai to sell it."
"It takes a lot of time for you to go back and forth like this!"
"Hehe... Of course I know, so I decided to set off for Mount Wei soon." Maotou took the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "I will take this sword over and show the power of this sword to the monks.
.You don’t have to worry about not having any buyers at that time, and all you three need to do is make swords quickly during this period.”
"This is a wonderful plan!" When Ji Wen and the other three heard this, their spirits were shaken and they were extremely excited.
The four people divided the work and collaborated to get started immediately!
As time passes day by day! Ji Wen and his colleagues have stored fifty or sixty high-quality swords in their courtyard. Only half a month has passed since the day Maotou left.
"Based on the days, if everything goes well, Maotou should be back in these few days. I don't know how the sword was sold." Xiao Hei sat in front of the stove, his mind a little confused, and his eyes went to the courtyard door from time to time.
Look, he said with some worry.
In fact, the three of them had stopped their work two days ago, not because they didn't want to make swords anymore, but because they had spent all their savings and no longer had any extra money to use, but even if
In this way, they also forged fifty-eight swords.
"Wait a minute!" Ji Wen was not as worried as Xiao Hei and the others. After all, he did not care about money. After half a month of sword-making experience, his strength had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
With the accumulation of sword-making experience, his understanding of the art of tempering became more and more profound. And every time he made a sword, he felt that he was not only forging a sword, but also forging himself.
If there is a way, there is a way! In the past half month, while he was forging swords, he was also trying to create a brand new skill based on the physical refining technique and the way of hundreds of times of tempering - the method of thousands of times of tempering. At this moment
The day when the Dharma is successful is when it breaks through.
Nowadays, he has achieved a little success in the Thousands of Refinement Techniques, and he is more comfortable in operating it. The speed of making swords has also become faster unknowingly.
"Ji Wen, you said that when you forged a sword, you forged it with Tao instead of force? What exactly do you mean?" Xiao Hei asked in confusion.
"When you, Xiaohei, understand the Tao, you will understand what I mean." Ji Wen explained while comprehending the practice of hard work, "In addition, according to my guess, if you master it skillfully,
The method of refining weapons will definitely be of great help in breaking through the Dharma phase in the future."
"Haha... It sounds like Ji Wen, you can reach the Dharma phase stage!" Xiao Hei said bluntly, forgetting Ji Wen's identity as an innate warrior for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at Ji Wen for fear that he would be angry.
"Hehe...it doesn't matter..." Ji Wen smiled and said as if he didn't care at all, "Actually, I never gave up the idea of breaking through the Dharma phase period from beginning to end."
"Uh... Ji Wen, are you telling the truth?" Now not only Xiao Hei, but even Lao Lin felt that Ji Wen had some fantastic ideas.
However, Ji Wen didn't go out of his way to explain, because he knew that even if he did, the two of them wouldn't believe it.
Ji Wen indeed performed very well during these days, refreshing the two people's understanding of him time and time again. However, the path of becoming an innate warrior and becoming a Dharma phase period has not been followed by many talented geniuses over millions of years.
They tried it, but in the end it was all in vain. So how could Ji Wen convince them?
"Maotou is back!" Ji Wen suddenly stood up. Although he didn't care much, no matter what, the sword was made by his own hands, and he also wanted to know the value of the sword.
"Really?" Xiao Hei and Lao Lin looked out, and sure enough, after a while, the dusty thatch appeared in their eyes with excitement.
"Hahaha... why are you welcoming me so quickly?" Mao Tou laughed.
"Stop talking nonsense, has the sword been sold? How much did it cost?" the three people asked hurriedly.
"Hey...are you questioning me?" Then he looked around mysteriously and whispered, "Let's go inside and talk."
As soon as he entered the room, Maotou took out a thumb-sized spar from his arms and said mysteriously in a deep voice: "Huh, what do you think this is?"
The three of them looked at it in confusion. It was okay not to look at it, but they were shocked when they saw it.
"This...this...this is Yuan...Yuan Stone." The three of them looked at the thing in front of them, swallowed hard, and said in disbelief.
"Not bad!" Maotou replied proudly.
"Looking at the purity of this spiritual crystal, it should be a human quality essence stone." Ji Wen took it in his hand and looked at it and said. Although he had seen the description of the spiritual crystal in the book before, but when he actually saw the origin stone, he still couldn't see it today.
first.
"How many yuan stones were sold for that sword?" Lao Lin couldn't wait to know.
Maotou raised a finger.
"Only one!" Xiao Hei couldn't help but said a little disappointed.
However, Maotou heard it, but he also responded with a somewhat drastic response: "What is just one? Do you know that this is a primeval stone? How many more do you want?"
"Hehe... I'm just talking, don't get excited..." Xiao Hei scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"How many swords do we have now? Are they all of the same quality?" Mao Tou asked with concern.
"After spending all the money of the four of us, we only made fifty-eight swords. How about it? Does anyone want to buy the sword?" Xiao Hei and Lao Lin couldn't help asking worriedly, looking at it nervously.
Maotou.
"Fifty-eight? That's enough for now."
"That's enough for now? Do those monks need more?" The three of them became excited again.
Hehe... Maotou grinned proudly. He once again took out a cloth bag from his arms, threw it in front of the three of them, and said, "This is the deposit they gave me."
Looking at the Yuan stones scattered all over the ground from the cloth bag, the three of them felt as if they were struck by lightning. They slowly and tremblingly touched them. After counting them over and over again, they calmed down and said cautiously: "These are thirty stones."
The stone of character."
"This is a deposit. As long as we hand over fifty-eight swords to them, we can get another fifty-eight. And they also said that he can get as many swords as we have!"
"Fifty-eight primeval stones? Are you saying we are not dreaming?"
"Is the other party reliable?" Ji Wen said worriedly.
That's right! Who would be willing to spend so many spiritual crystals to buy these swords? It couldn't be that the other party has some conspiracy!
"Don't worry, the monk we bought from is a disciple of a second-rate sect, and the reason why they want our sword so much is that the sword made by Ji Wen is indeed of higher quality than other swords, and more importantly
Yes, I found out from Weishan that a big opportunity will appear in the Weishan area in the near future, so they will be eager to demand high-quality weapons."
"Big opportunity? What is that?"
