The improvement of his divine consciousness surprised Ning Fan, but in his life, he had experienced too many things, and although he was so happy in his heart, he still calmed down quickly.
"Come in!" After he stabilized his mind, Ning Fan said to Gu Wai in a deep voice.
The words fell, and Niu Lei, Niu Xing and the blacksmith walked quickly into the valley.
Among them, Niu Lei looked up at Ning Fan, and a light of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes, if he could still see Ning Fan's cultivation realm before, now even if he works hard, he can't see it, not only that, at this time, in front of Ning Fan, he felt a faint pressure, he knew that this was the suppression of the realm.
"You've broken through to the middle of the game?" Niu Lei asked in surprise.
"No, it's almost hot, and now it's just the peak of the early stage of Jindan!" Ning Fan said with a smile.
"That's not far away, congratulations!" Niu Lei arched his hand towards Ning Fan as he spoke, with a smile on his face. Niu Lei was very happy that Ning Fan surpassed him. His realm has stopped here in this life, so it is sincerely happy that young people can surpass themselves, not to mention that this person is Ning Fan?
"Uncle Niu is polite." Ning Fan said with a smile, then turned to the blacksmith and said, "Let's move on to the next step!" ”
"Obey, Shangxian, what we are going to do next is to adjust." As he spoke, the blacksmith took copper, tin, and lead from one side of the material, and began to explain, demonstrating as he went.
Of course, these three materials are mainly copper, but the content of the other two materials has a great impact on the quality of the synthesized bronze, either making the bronze soft and tough, or making the bronze hard and brittle, both of which are not suitable for casting swords.
The best, of course, is hard and tough, it is not easy to do this, it requires several materials to have a certain proportion, and it is not wrong at all.
This ratio, the old blacksmith passed it to Ning Fan, and made a demonstration himself, selected a material, and Ning Fan also chose a copy.
Ning Fan's efficiency is very high, and as soon as the old blacksmith picks it well, he will pick it right away. The old blacksmith couldn't help but glance at Ning Fan, walked over and carefully checked the materials selected by Ning Fan, nodded, and nodded with satisfaction.
It's just that he didn't understand in his heart, although the previous Fan was a fast learner, it wasn't too fast, why did he get to this point so fast?
How did he know that with Ning Fan's powerful divine sense, it was not difficult to take materials according to the proportions, and there was no need to measure them at all, just with the control of his divine sense, he could make the amount taken the most accurate, and it might even be more accurate than this old blacksmith.
The old blacksmith originally thought that this step would need to be taught for half a day to a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he didn't stop, and then started the next step: smelting.
After listening to the old blacksmith's account of smelting, Ning Fan called Niu Xing and asked him to help pull up the bellows next to the furnace. Originally, this step was done by the old blacksmith himself, but with Niu Xing's joining, he was naturally liberated and his efficiency improved a lot.
This step is more difficult and more important than the first two steps. When smelting, the heat must be controlled, neither too high nor too low, if the temperature is too high, it is easy to make the material over-smelting and fail to meet the demand; If the temperature is too low, the impurities in the material will not be exhausted, and the most suitable copper liquid cannot be obtained.
This time, Ning Fan didn't learn so fast, although he had learned the trick of fire control from Master Feng Dan's side, and he had some experience in fire control, but when to smelt and how high the temperature was needed, it was not static, and one would make a mistake if he was not careful.
One afternoon, after refining more than a dozen materials, Ning Fan finally got a suitable copper liquid.
As soon as the molten copper is completed, it can be cast in the next step.
The model had already been made, and as soon as the molten copper contained in the furnace was poured into the model, it quickly cooled and formed, and the old blacksmith demonstrated it, and Ning Fan began to cast it.
The old blacksmith said that although this step was not as difficult as smelting, it was also very important and needed to be carefully controlled, and he was still worried that Ning Fan would not succeed once.
But after watching Ning Fan's next casting, he closed his mouth. If you want to talk about the experience in these various processes, Ning Fan is definitely inferior to him, but when it comes to this control, Ning Fan doesn't need him to worry about it at all. With divine sense as the basis, how could Ning Fan make a mistake in this kind of thing.
After waiting for a while, the model cooled down, and the two of them removed the model together, and the two sword blanks were revealed. Although it looked similar, Ning Fan could still see that his handpiece was still a little rougher than the old blacksmith.
However, this also made Ning Fan very happy, this was the first sword he had forged by himself, which showed that he had taken the first step on the road of refining weapons.
Taking the sword in his hand, Ning Fan looked at it as a whole, and shook his head again, such a sword, not to mention those spiritual weapons that are comparable to Baibaoxuan, is not as good as those on the stalls in the Kunyang Peak Market, and it is not even an inferior product.
Anyway, let's put it away first, Ning Fan thought about it, and put away the copper sword.
The old blacksmith was about to speak, when he saw that the sword blank in Ning Fan's hand was gone, and he couldn't help asking, "Where is the sword blank?" ”
"Put it away!" Ning Fan didn't understand what the old blacksmith was asking for.
"Put it away? Let's take it out! The old blacksmith looked a little speechless.
Ning Fan didn't quite understand, but he still took out his work according to his words.
"The sword casting hasn't been completed yet, how can I put it away!" Although the old blacksmith had a natural awe out of the immortals, he couldn't help but say something at this time.
"Not done yet?" Ning Fan looked at the work in his hand, a little puzzled, isn't this just a sword, although it looks a little rough.
"Of course, otherwise you think such a sword can be used?" The old blacksmith couldn't help but say Ning Fan again with a reprimand, this is his profession, even if he is in awe of this immortal in his heart, he will not allow others to underestimate him in this regard.
"What else needs to be done?" Ning Fan asked humbly. He wouldn't be angry with the old blacksmith's tone, he had learned from others.
"At this point, the main part of the sword is completed, but it still needs to be scraped and sharpened!" After the old blacksmith finished speaking, he took some tools from the tool rack on one side and worked on them.
Ning Fan learned from the same and began to process it.
A quarter of an hour later, the old blacksmith finished first, and saw a rough sword blank in his hand, which had been transformed into a bronze sword that shimmered with cold light.
Ning Fan had been watching the other party operate before, and at this time, he also sharpened away those rough and excess parts, and opened the blade for this sword.
Only a little later than the old blacksmith, Ning Fan's bronze sword was also processed. At this time, the bronze sword has completely changed compared to before, in addition to the shape, both the color and the quality have changed.
It's like a sword! Ning Fan nodded. Although it is not as good as those things on the stalls in Kunyangfeng Market, it can be seen.
Gently stroking the sword's body, Ning Fan felt a heartfelt joy in his heart.
"Thank you, master!" Ning Fan put away the bronze sword and bowed his hand to the old blacksmith.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The old blacksmith waved his hand again and again, not daring to accept his salute. Although he dared to say words of reprimand when he was casting the sword before, it was because he was too devoted, it was his love for his profession, and now that the sword casting was completed, he had come to his senses, how could he dare to accept Ning Fan's salute, this is an immortal.
Ning Fan saw the old blacksmith's frightened look, and he didn't force him, but after thinking about it, he took out a pill from the storage bag that he used to use when he was a martial artist, handed it to the old blacksmith, and said, "This is a little bit of my heart, and the master please accept it." ”
At the sight of this elixir, the old blacksmith's eyes lit up. As a person living around the Kunlun Sect, although he is a mortal, he also knows the existence of the elixir, for them, it is the best treasure, he didn't expect that there is such an elixir in front of him now, which the old blacksmith never expected.
"This ......," the old blacksmith hesitated.
"You'd better take it, otherwise the immortals will be unhappy!" Niu Lei said on the side.
As soon as the old blacksmith heard Niu Lei's words, he took the half-elixir tremblingly, first involuntarily held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then he was about to take it into his arms, but as soon as his hand was placed on his chest, he paused again, which didn't seem to be appropriate.
When Ning Fan saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's me who didn't think it through!" As he spoke, he took out a porcelain vase and handed it over.
The old blacksmith took it, put the pill away, and hurriedly bowed to Ning Fan, saying, "Thank you for the generous gift of the immortals." ”
