The sky has gradually darkened, and occasionally a few birds chirping passed through the air.
The light circle in the backyard has been lit up, and the entire yard is filled with this gentle light.
Ever since his teacher asked him to forge hundreds of black-grained steel two months ago, Ye Bai has been in this state, coming here every afternoon and forging until night.
He no longer knows how many pieces of fine iron he has hammered out. Apart from eating, he has been learning to forge the rest.
He is addicted to this feeling of constantly improving himself, and likes that he is becoming stronger step by step. What is surprising is that although the spiritual energy is constantly consumed during the forging process, after each recovery, the spiritual energy not only becomes more pure, but also changes in quantity. more.
"Okay, Xiaosi, come and eat. You haven't eaten for dozens of days. You must know how to combine work and rest. If you are starving, your calf-protecting master will fight with me."
The teacher's joking voice rang in his ears, and Ye Bai slowly slowed down his rhythm, stopped the tools in his hands and went to the table.
Ye Bai devoured the delicious spiritual food in front of him, replenishing his spiritual energy and relaxing his spirit.
"With your current level, you can easily refine some low-level materials. Later, you and your senior brothers will help me forge the embryos of iron core wood."
Zhao Cheng looked at his refined black grained steel and nodded frequently.
"Okay, teacher. I also want to help the senior brothers as soon as possible." Ye Bai replied.
"That's good. We still needed to rush the work, but now that our junior brothers have joined us, it should be almost done." Feng Ying said with a naive smile.
Ye Bai is very talented and can endure hardships. The most outrageous thing is that he can delve into research and has a flexible mind. He really doesn't give ordinary people like us a way to survive. "Wan Ming said helplessly.
"Do you have poor talent? Who told you that you don't study hard all day long, you only know how to play, now you are under pressure."
Zhao Chengqin patted Wan Ming on the head and urged him to quickly deal with the roast pig.
Wan Ming also picked up a knife and cut into the crispy roasted pig. The sharp blade of the knife was drawn across the body of the pig. The sound of squeaking kept sounding. The skillful knife skills separated pieces of fragrant silk smoothly. Overflowing chunks of meat.
Zhao Cheng also picked up the wine that had been prepared from the Najie, and several people also ate the delicious food and drank happily.
"Master, this job is not profitable, and it is very troublesome. Why do you still take this job?" Wan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Feng Xinglie is my teacher's friend." Zhao Cheng answered with a simple sentence, and this sentence of friend was indeed enough.
"I never heard you mention it." Wan Ming muttered.
"I have to tell you what to wear, kid." Zhao Cheng cursed and looked at Wan Ming, forcing him to quickly beg for mercy.
"Teacher, I also saw the forging of the seniors during my break, and found that mistakes often occurred during each forging and refining process, resulting in the materials being scrapped. What's the reason for this?"
Ye Bai also asked about the problems discovered during this period, and Zhao Cheng replied unhurriedly: "This is because materials such as iron core wood are needed to forge this set of spiritual weapons and armors."
The core of the tree that grows from a century-old iron core tree is iron core wood.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai doubted: "Is it because the attributes are incompatible and it is difficult to control the heat?"
"Not quite, but almost." Wan Kong sighed.
"Iron core wood is considered to be the best among low-level materials. It is no worse than some mid-level materials. It is because it is difficult to forge and refine, so few people use it to refine weapons." Zhao Cheng also explained to Ye Bai.
The armor made from iron core wood is introduced in the tool refining essentials. Not only does it have good protection, but most importantly, it is also very light.
You must know that weight will also affect combat. There are many armors weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. Some monks who have practiced physical training have not had much influence yet, while those who have not practiced physical training can only rely on spiritual power for support.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai thought for a moment and asked: "Isn't it possible that even the teacher is not absolutely sure about refining iron core wood?"
"Yes, with my many years of experience, I only have a 60% success rate, let alone your senior brothers." Zhao Cheng shook his head.
"Is there any material that can replace iron core wood?"
"There must be some. You must know that the entire world of immortality is vast and rich in resources. No matter how good the iron core wood is, it is only a low-level material, but the cost of the ice and fire iron that can replace it is beyond our ability to pay."
Before Zhao Cheng could answer, Wan Ming informed him of the answer in advance.
Ye Bai nodded thoughtfully, and several people also finished the delicious food while chatting.
Several people came to his furnace, and Zhao Cheng also threw him some iron core wood and began to teach him how to control the heat step by step. If the attribute conflict is not controlled well, the material will be damaged.
"You must know that this material not only has conflicting properties, but also is brittle when forged because it is extremely hard. You must know that being rigid makes it easy to break, which is also a reason why it is easily damaged."
Zhao Cheng explained while teaching that during this period, Ye Bai's injury had damaged more than a dozen pieces of materials. Fortunately, this thing was cheap.
"I'll leave all the steps to you, the rest depends on how you control the strength and heat."
After leaving these words, Zhao Cheng also went about his own business. He was not in a hurry to practice. Instead, he recalled every detail that the teacher gave him over and over in his mind and understood it carefully.
"You silly boy is usually very smart, but why did you become so confused when this happened?"
He was still thinking about the teacher's operation, and the words of the second master really rang in his mind.
"Ah? Second Master, what do you say about this? Do you have any good ideas?" Ye Bai asked.
"According to your teacher, when the earth fire burns the iron core wood, the two properties of metal and wood conflict. If the earth fire is not controlled well, it will damage the material. Is that right?"
Ye Bai nodded, and the second master said contemptuously: "You are so confused, you are a body of five elements and can sense the spiritual power of the five elements. Who can be as sensitive as you?"
"Except for a few individuals who have jumped out of the Three Realms, all things in the world are not in the Five Elements. The rest are basically within the Five Elements."
"Iron core wood is also a thing of the five elements. If you feel the conflict of its attributes while forging it, you can feel its changes and then control the size and strength of the earth fire according to its changes."
"Oh! It has to be you, Second Master. Why didn't I think of it being so simple?"
Ye Bai suddenly realized and patted his head, praising the second master.
The second master said sarcastically: "Why don't you say that I am the master and you are the thief."
"...Okay, let's do it, as long as we can solve the problem." Ye Bai shrugged helplessly.
Ye Bai threw the iron core wood into the smelting furnace, and felt deeply the flow of spiritual power around him, always paying attention to the changes of the iron core wood in the earth fire.
Click~
With a crisp sound, the iron core wood broke unexpectedly.
He looked at the damaged material and thought for a moment before trying again immediately. Although the theory is basically clear, it is still not easy to practice.
…………
When Ye Bai just took out the iron core wood that had been calcined and turned red, he knew that he had almost mastered the heat. He just picked up the hammer and injected spiritual power into it and started to forge it. After a while, a familiar crisp sound sounded, and his heart suddenly went cold.
"It seems that the strength needs to be practiced." Ye Bai murmured in a low voice.
As time goes by, the night outside has become dark, and occasionally there are a few insects chirping. But the sound of knocking still sounded in the back hall of Wan Lian Fang.
Bang bang~
As the last hammer fell, Ye Bai controlled the calcination with the ground fire, and with the final quenching, a piece of jet-black refined iron core wood was formed.
After Ye Bai beat him for so long, he rarely showed a smile.
Just when he wanted to relax, he suddenly felt that the little spiritual power left in his body was being absorbed. His body longed for the nourishment of spiritual power. He knew that he was about to break through this sense of need.
Putting down the formed iron core wood, he immediately took out the Millennium Earth Milk and drank it. He sat cross-legged and performed the Five Elements Wheel Technique. The surrounding Five Elements spiritual energy was beating and rushing towards Ye Bai. Zhao Cheng and the others also noticed it and immediately put down their work. I don't want to disturb Ye Bai.
After having sufficient supply of spiritual energy, he successfully broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Phew~
Exhaling a breath, Ye Bai opened his eyes and stood up to find his teacher and several senior brothers discussing something around him.
"Congratulations, successful breakthrough."
"congratulations."
Seeing Ye Bai's breakthrough, everyone came forward to congratulate him, and he thanked them one by one.
"The fourth child didn't expect that you had already created a piece of refined iron core wood before you had studied for a long time."
Zhao Cheng observed the refined iron core wood in front of him and was surprised by Ye Bai's talent.
The senior brothers next to him were also amazed. They had studied hard for so long, but the success rate was less than 30%. Ye Baicai had succeeded not long after he came into contact with it. It was really outrageous.
"Don't brag. I'm lucky enough to have a five-element body. I can better sense the changes in the properties of materials. I can almost do it if I control the heat correctly."
With Ye Bai's explanation, several people suddenly realized that being able to refine Iron Heart Wood just a short time after learning was really monstrous.
"Even with the help of physical fitness, whether it is the control of the fire or the intensity of the exercise, all previous efforts will be wasted if the control is not correct. Junior brother, your talent and hard work are worthy of recognition." Senior brother Wan Kong also sincerely admired it.
"Yes, if you just have talent and don't use it, you won't grow after all."
Zhao Cheng also admires this new apprentice. Talent aside, the weapon refiner values perseverance and resilience, which is fully reflected in the fourth child.
