Lin Yan motioned for Dugu Cheng to sit down and said, "Today, I will refine a suitable weapon for you and me. What weapon do you want?"
Dugu Cheng sat down cross-legged at the side. After hearing what Lin Yan said, he said, "I have practiced swords all my life, and the martial arts I have learned are related to swords, so naturally I want a sword."
"Three feet of green blade, yes. The sword is the king of hundreds of weapons. Those who practice swordsmanship burst out with sharp will, and the will in their hearts is answered by the sword. It suits you very well." Lin Yan said with a smile, and took it from the side. Put the spiritual carbon into the fire in the center.
Spirit carbon is a kind of carbon material that has been specially burned from spirit wood. Its combustion can provide stable high temperature and can smelt all kinds of ores.
Lin Yan pulled the bellows of the refining furnace, raising the temperature in the furnace fire to the extreme.
Refining weapons is not like refining elixirs. Refining elixirs only requires extracting the medicinal properties from the medicinal materials and fusing them to form elixirs. However, refining weapons requires using the high temperature of the flame to extract the metal essence from the ores. To refine these spiritual ores, Metal purification requires temperatures many times higher than alchemy, and is naturally more difficult to control.
Lin Yan once refined some jade stones that contained the vitality of heaven and earth into "weapons", but those weapons were consumables, and strictly speaking, they did not belong to any level of warriors. They just used some etched patterns to transform the jade stones into "weapons". The vitality of heaven and earth inside is just channeled and used.
Lin Yan flicked out a burst of true energy with his fingers, which mixed with the inner furnace in the refining furnace, intertwined with the innate true fire, and the flames rising inside suddenly became violent. The immortal inscriptions on the refining furnace were glowing, burning the high temperature of the inner furnace. Blocked them all. Later, Lin Yan took out a few Yuan stones, threw them in together with a few purchased ores, and waited for them to melt.
The refining method of spiritual weapons is different from the forging method of mortal weapons. Because the power possessed by mortal weapons is very low-level, it is difficult to remove impurities from the metal using methods other than forging. Therefore, mortal weapons, If one reaches the highest level of skill and forges it to the extreme, it will only be at the level of an ordinary soldier.
This is still made of copper, iron and other metals that are easily available to mortals.
In order to refine a spiritual weapon, in addition to the weapon itself reaching the peak state of a mortal weapon, a special quenching method is also needed to reforge the metal essence inside and engrave etchings into it so that the weapon can contain true energy.
The temperature in the refining furnace is already very high. After adding a trace of innate real fire, the temperature of the inner furnace is even more frighteningly high. Even the inner furnace itself has begun to turn red.
Lin Yan instigated the bellows to speed up the calcination of the flame. After about a quarter of an hour, the ore inside began to slowly melt, forming a pool of molten metal, with various metal substances mixed together. Lin Yan's spiritual consciousness was detected, and a burst of mana was fired. The immortal inscriptions on the weapon refining furnace were shining. In the inner furnace, the molten metal that was originally mixed with the spiritual carbon slowly slowly Suspended, constantly changing in the air.
Lin Yan huddled his magic power in his Dantian, and his innate Qi flowed, outlining complicated etchings in the air, and imprinted them into the molten metal in the refining furnace. The molten metal in the air kept changing shapes, and in the martial arts With the blessing of mental power, a sword-shaped rough embryo slowly appeared.
These etchings are runes that shape the shape in the refining etchings. When these etchings are blended into the molten metal, the molten metal can be kneaded into the desired shape, shaped, and intertwined internally. The most basic textures are drawn out so that new etchings can be engraved a second time after the weapon is completely formed.
The sword-shaped rough embryo slowly appears in the air, and the molten metal on the surface is lost over time. The external temperature decreases and becomes semi-solid, locking all the molten metal inside.
Lin Yan controlled the molten metal and used martial arts power to comb and beat the essence of the melted Yuan Stone into a certain regular distribution.
The essence of these Yuan Stones is the key to the Yuan Stone's ability to store the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. By incorporating these materials, the Spirit Soldier can greatly improve its ability to store the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth as well as the True Qi of the Martial Arts. Warriors can use this characteristic to perform various wonders. Ability.
This step is a delicate job that requires the refiner's excellent control ability. How to distribute the essence of the elemental stone to maximize the capacity of the spiritual weapon determines the upper limit of this weapon. While combining and distributing the essence of the Yuan Stone, Lin Yan was also sorting out the molten liquid of various metal ores internally, so that different parts have different proportions.
After more than an hour, Lin
Yancai stopped with sweat on his face. The inside of the sword embryo was basically sorted out, and the shape was basically fixed, but it was still very rough and needed to be tempered.
Lin Yan took out the rough sword-shaped embryo using martial arts telekinesis and placed it in a pool of water to cool down. Then he picked up a sledgehammer and hammered the rough sword-shaped embryo on the hammering table.
The sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" was heard endlessly. Lin Yan's face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He tempered the long sword step by step. Every once in a while, some fine impurities seeped out from the rough sword-shaped embryo. With this, At the same time, the rough shape of the sword slowly became beautiful and delicate. Even after a quarter of an hour, it began to show its edge, and patterns began to appear on the sword, which was full of artistry.
A glimmer of light flashed in Dugu Cheng's eyes. Lin Yan used the hammering method to temper the sword embryo, one hammer after another, thirty-six consecutive hammers without stopping. The strength of each hammer was very similar, but there were also some differences. There seems to be some special skills involved.
He could tell that this hammering method was unusual, and the effect of hammering out impurities seemed a bit astonishing.
After every thirty-six hammer blows, Lin Yan will put the rough embryo into the fire to re-quench it, then cool it and temper it.
Mortal blacksmiths say that steel can be made into steel by hundreds of tempers. A cycle of quenching, cooling, and tempering is one refinement. Ordinary iron can only be transformed into refined iron after hundreds of refinements, which is what the world calls "steel". It is harder and more ductile than ordinary iron, and has stronger shaping ability.
Lin Yan's set of hammering techniques came from a sensational weapon-making master in the Xuanwu Continent in his previous life. It is called "Tiangang Hammering Technique". With a special hammering technique, thirty-six hammers are used as one hammering, which can continuously melt the rough embryo inside. The impurities are tempered out, and the forged embryo is almost flawless.
The hammer after hammer seems to have the same force, but in fact it is very different. The angle and force of each fall have slight changes, which are based on the changes in the "metal veins" of the embryo itself.
After ten refinings, almost all the impurities inside the embryo have been removed, and the entire embryo is almost the same as a complete long sword.
If this sword is taken out and used directly, it will be one of the most top-notch mortal weapons. It can withstand the true energy of an innate master without breaking.
It's a pity that if Lin Yan wants to refine it into a spiritual weapon, he still needs to imprint it with the temperature before launching the attack.
The long sword was put back into the refining furnace, but it did not enter the inner furnace.
The inner furnace is used to melt various metal ores at extremely high temperatures. This sword has not yet been imprinted with runes. If it enters the inner furnace for too long, new impurities will be produced.
Lin Yan activated his magic power, and the six fire outlets immediately spit out red and white flames, covering all the sword embryos and heating them evenly.
Lin Yan was also on the side, using his true energy to stir up the vitality of heaven and earth, forming etched words in the air, which were slowly imprinted into the long sword. This imprint looked very big, but when imprinted into the long sword, it seemed extremely small. As thin as hair.
These etchings slowly take shape, forming vessel patterns, and are then connected together by special lines. Working together, they can stimulate various mysterious abilities.
While Lin Yan was imprinting the pattern on the vessel, he used innate real fire to maintain the temperature of the vessel embryo itself.
Generally speaking, the weapon pattern does not completely refer to the etched inscriptions on the refining of the weapon, but refers to the combination of the etched inscriptions and lines on the refining instrument, which has special power. Such a combination of patterns is called the Yuan Array, and there are several The arrays of elements are combined in an orderly manner to form a complete pattern, which gives the "vessel" a certain characteristic, which is called a vessel pattern. .ν.
The simplest vessel pattern is a vessel pattern formed by a "primary array" composed of two etched characters. Under normal circumstances, if such a weapon pattern can be constructed inside the "vessel", it is considered that the spiritual weapon has been successfully refined, but this kind of spiritual weapon will be the most rubbish existence among the spiritual weapons.
Generally speaking, a "vessel" with nine weapon patterns and below is called a low-grade spiritual weapon, ten to ninety-nine are called medium-grade spiritual weapons, and a hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine weapon patterns are called It is a top-grade spiritual weapon. If a "vessel" has more than a thousand weapon patterns in it, it can be called a top-grade spiritual weapon.
The best spiritual weapons, in the previous life, were extremely jealous of masters in the martial arts realm.
After all, on the Xuanwu Continent, if an innate master can master a low-grade spiritual weapon, he is already extremely wealthy. Most of the weapons used by innate masters are ordinary weapons.
The soldiers may be pseudo-spiritual soldiers with one or two incomplete "primary formations". Only masters in the realm of martial arts are qualified to have one or two middle-grade spiritual weapons. Most martial arts masters use high-grade spiritual weapons in duels. Only some warriors from big forces have top-grade spiritual weapons by their side. .
This kind of spiritual weapon is so rare that there are at least a thousand or more weapon patterns. Each weapon pattern has several or even dozens of elemental formations, and each elemental formation is composed of several or even dozens of etched inscriptions. So There are so many etchings and lines that need to be imprinted into the small vessel. This tests not only the weapon refiner's ability to carve etchings, but also the skill of the forging.
Therefore, there are very few top-quality spiritual weapons refined on the Xuanwu Continent. Most of the top-quality spiritual weapons are put into the warrior's Dantian and cultivated using the warrior's own true energy.
As for the next level of soul weapons, they can theoretically be refined, but the weapon refiners who can refine such weapons are so rare that there are no such weapons. At that time, 99% of the soul weapons on the Xuanwu Continent , are all cultivated by using the best spiritual weapons, special heavenly materials and earthly treasures, combined with the warrior's true temperament.
One can imagine how difficult it is to refine soul weapons.
