Time gradually passed as Pei Wende and the three civet brothers asked and answered questions, full of complaints and curiosity.
When the three civet brothers still wanted to ask more questions, Pei Wende had already completely built the "parts" in his hands.
Those are some small steel pieces that look only about the size of a fingernail, but are full of various structural meanings.
Because Pei Wende did not use a common stove during the forging process, but directly calcined it with pure Yang real fire, these small steel pieces are full of spirituality that ordinary appliances do not have.
Although the surface of these small steel pieces is still very rough due to the embryo that has just been forged.
Even because the high temperature on the steel plates has not completely dissipated, these small steel plates are still emitting the residual heat of the pure sun that is astonishingly lethal to evil spirits.
But in fact, these small steel pieces have already begun to take shape. They only need to be quenched and polished to successfully combine what Pei Wende wants.
"Xiao Qing!"
Thinking of this, Pei Wende put down the forging hammer in his hand, and then lightly snapped his fingers.
The next second, those small steel pieces flew up out of thin air in the surprised eyes of the three civet brothers.
"hiss!"
It seems helpless and accustomed...
Xiaoqing, who heard Pei Wende's call, slowly poked his head out of his collar, then opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of acidic poisonous mist towards the flying small steel pieces.
"Huh? Is this quenching?"
The civet cat boss, who had already fully understood the forging process through Pei Wende's narration, asked curiously.
It’s just that whether it’s from Pei Wende’s account or from the blacksmiths I’ve observed, it seems that quenching shouldn’t be like this?
"Yes, this is quenching."
"It's just that this is my original quenching method."
Nodding with satisfaction, Pei Wende told the three civet brothers the mystery without hesitation.
"Usual quenching is divided into water quenching and oil quenching. Water quenching is fast and can greatly improve the rigidity of the weapon, but the side effect is that it easily deforms and breaks the steel."
"Oil quenching is just the opposite. It can ensure the willfulness of steel and prevent weapons from deforming and breaking."
"Of course, the specific quenching method used varies depending on the materials and components used for forging. There are no hard and fast rules."
Having said this, Pei Wende paused intentionally to give these three curious babies enough time to understand.
"And the other method I am using now is to use a special poisonous acid for quenching."
In fact, Pei Wende was not sure whether his "whim" would work at first.
After all, he was not a professional blacksmith in his previous life. He just accidentally heard that someone used hydrochloric acid to quench, which seemed to have a better effect than ordinary water quenching.
In addition, Xiao Qing happened to be able to spit out a special poisonous acid, so Pei Wende decided to try to see if he could use its poisonous acid as a quenching carrier.
In this way, if it is multi-layer forged Damascus steel, the later acid leaching step can even be directly omitted, allowing the steel calcined by the fire to become smooth and beautiful directly.
Pei Wende's whimsical idea naturally failed at first.
Because Xiaoqing's corrosive poisonous acid is simply not something ordinary steel can withstand.
Fortunately, although Xiao Qing didn't like Pei Wende's hobby of blacksmithing all day long, as a monster with superior intelligence and excellent understanding, she still adjusted the concentration of her poisonous acid in a targeted manner.
In addition, Pei Wende is not a fool who doesn't know how to adapt. He has been forging steel all year round and has long tried to add other elements to various steel materials to create the most mainstream alloy steel in future generations.
So after some exploration and experiments, Pei Wende finally succeeded in forging an "alloy" steel that has strong acid resistance and can truly withstand the quenching of this poisonous acid.
Not only that, after a period of experimentation and exploration, Pei Wende was surprised to find that the spiritual aspects of the artifacts quenched in this special way had improved significantly.
If we say that the weapons forged by Pei Wende himself can initially respond to his call.
Then the dog-leg knife, which was forged by pure Yang true fire and carried by Pei Wende for a long time, can explode with power beyond normal weapons.
The artifacts that have been quenched by poisonous acid have gone a step further on this basis and have spirituality like living creatures.
But before that, Pei Wende had never figured out how to use this spirituality.
After all, Pei Wende didn't want to experience the embarrassment of being almost injured by a weapon he forged before again.
"In fact, if you want to create something delicate, using the lost wax method is the best choice."
After confirming that these "parts" that took a long time to build were successfully quenched, Pei Wende did not forget to turn to the three civet brothers and add.
"Because these things are different from normal swords, their structures are too delicate, and ordinary forging methods simply cannot meet the requirements."
Although Pei Wende didn't say it explicitly, he showed great pride in his words.
Using the forging method to create these "parts" that are only the size of a fingernail, it is estimated that only Pei Wende, a practitioner with amazing control over his own power, can do it.
If it were any other blacksmith, even the top blacksmith of this era, it would never be possible to forge such a delicate structure.
Not to mention that after forging and quenching, these "parts" will be deformed to a certain extent.
Without subsequent long-term polishing, it would be impossible to put it together.
"So, little master, what are you building?"
Looking at the small quenched steel pieces curiously, the civet boss asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Since coming out of Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende has been hammering iron on the back mountain for nearly an afternoon.
The time and energy consumed was secondary. The most important thing was that the three civet brothers looked at it for a long time and couldn't see what the "parts" floating out of thin air could be combined into.
"A 'restrainer'..."
Seeing that even Xiao Qing showed curious eyes, Pei Wende did not continue to show off, but snapped his fingers again.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of invisible Yin Qi gathered and reorganized in front of Pei Wende's eyes, and suddenly turned into a black cicada struggling crazily.
"Got it! Got it!"
Just like when it first appeared before, this "Heart-Eating Gu" that entrusted a ray of the old woman's soul kept chirping, trying to regain freedom.
However, Pei Wende, who was well prepared, relied on the power of the cordless rosary to suppress it.
"Although it's a bit rushed, it should be enough to 'imprison' one Gu worm."
