In a secret room of the Xiao family.
Xiao Bieli stood there with his eyes focused. A thick white flame the size of a washbasin was floating in his right palm. It was the Northern Dark Heart Fire that was formed after the fusion of the Origin Beast Fire and the Northern Dark Sword Qi.
In the center of the Northern Dark Heart Fire was a piece of strange iron with mysterious patterns, Star Pattern Steel.
Star Patterned Steel was hard and was the best material for forging weapons. If some precious cold iron was added during forging, it was enough to forge a weapon that could cut through iron like mud.
However, cold iron was extremely heat-resistant and could not be refined by ordinary fire. This was also the reason why Xiao Bieli had never practiced sword forging techniques.
The most important part of forging was fire control, followed by quenching.
If the firepower was low, it would not be able to melt the material and remove the impurities contained in the material. With high firepower, it was easy to destroy the materials.
Xiao Bieli had just obtained the Darknorth Heart Fire, and his control over it had yet to reach the level of being able to control it as he wished. Up until now, he had already failed dozens of times.
"My Darknorth Heartfire is directly connected to the Darknorth sword-ki, which in turn is connected to the Darknorth sword-ki. The Darknorth sword-ki is the primordial spirit of the sword, and is connected to both spiritual and soul-power. According to the [Sword Forging: Quick and Quick], one could only control fire with one's spirit and qi. But to reach this step, it's difficult!"
Just as Xiao Bieli was deep in thought, the Star Pattern Steel in the center of the Darknorth Heart Flame suddenly turned into powder with a bang.
He failed again.
Xiao Bieli furrowed his brows and took out another piece of Star Patterned Steel and continued forging.
This time, Xiao Bieli carefully controlled the Darknorth sword qi circulating in his body, shrinking it into a thin thread to support the burning of the Darknorth Heart Fire.
A moment later, Xiao Bieli discovered that just a sliver of Darknorth sword qi was not enough to support the fire. And so, he strengthened his Darknorth sword qi by a sliver.
Just like that, it increased bit by bit. When it reached the seventeenth thread, the power of the Darknorth Heart Fire finally stabilized.
Following Xiao Bieli's will, the Star Patterned Steel was continuously 'kneaded' into various forms within the Darknorth Heart Fire. Threads of impurities were also expelled from the profound patterns.
After a while, the originally blue-black Star Pattern Steel turned into a pure dark blue, and the patterns on it became clearer and more mysterious.
"Success!" Immediately, Xiao Bieli withdrew the Darknorth Heart Fire. At this moment, he was already drenched in sweat, and his mental state was greatly exhausted.
However, this was nothing to Xiao Bieli. As long as he summoned the 'Darknorth Divine Sword', he would be energized again in an instant.
"Hu! He did not expect that just forging materials would take so much effort. As expected, the Sword Forging Art was not something that ordinary people could learn.”Xiao Bieli thought to himself,'At the very least, the control of fire power, the requirements for mental power, and soul power are not inferior to alchemy, and might even surpass it.”
Next, Xiao Bieli extracted the essence of cold iron according to the law and fused it into the refined Star Pattern Steel. Finally, he refined it and finally condensed a sword embryo. Following that, Xiao Bieli took out a Class 4 Monster Core. Using the Sunset Heavy Sword and the Moon-Burier Light Sword as a guide, along with the Darknorth Sword Qi and Darknorth Heart Fire, he transferred the energy within the Monster Core into the sword embryo. Following that, there was a series of processes such as polishing, quenching, and fine grinding. After about four hours, Xiao Bieli finally succeeded in forging his first sword in his swordsmithing career.
This sword was three feet and one inch long, weighing six pounds and seven taels, and was extremely light and agile. The dark blue sword was densely covered with mysterious star patterns, and there was a faint stream of light. Cold air flowed on the sword's edge, making it impossible for anyone to doubt its sharpness at first sight.
Xiao Bieli was very satisfied with his first piece of work. He also liked it very much.
Therefore, he named this sword " Emotion ", which meant that he had given it his full enthusiasm.
At the same time, this sword was also forged by Xiao Bieli for Xun Er. This was because he had promised Xun Er that he would definitely give the first sword to her.
Hence, Xiao Bieli took out the purple grade 6 monster core that Xun Er had returned and used the same method to transfer the energy within the monster core into the sword. After the energy transfer was completed, the body of the Emotion Sword suddenly shone brightly. The flowing light in the sword became more intense, and the cold light emitted from the sword edge became more obvious.
Xiao Bieli wielded his sword with his right hand and lightly waved it, causing a sword qi to shoot out.
With a cracking sound, the half-meter-tall pig iron casting table was cut into two halves. It could be said that it could cut through iron like mud.
"Although this sword is far inferior to the Moon-Burier, it is still a rare divine weapon.”Xiao Bieli blew on the sword edge in satisfaction and muttered," If Xun Er has this sword in her hand, with her strength that is close to a one star Dou Zhe, it would not be a problem for her to skip levels and challenge a six star or seven star Dou Zhe.”
Xiao Bieli didn't exaggerate this point. This 'Emotion' sword could indeed instantly raise the wielder's strength by six to seven stars, because this sword contained the energy of a Class 4 Monster Core and a Class 6 Monster Core.
However, this kind of Dou Qi amplification was only relative. If the strength of the wielder surpassed that of a Dou Zong, this kind of amplification effect would be relatively weaker.
In a small border country like the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huangs could be counted with two hands. Hence, this sword could undoubtedly be considered a top quality divine weapon.
With the success of the Emotion Sword, the next step was much simpler. After spending three days, Xiao Bieli used the Class 5 Monster Cores as the energy source to forge three Class 5 longswords and a pair of Froststeel Star Pattern Boxing Gloves. Using the Class 4 Monster Cores as the energy source, he forged seven Class 4 longswords. With some leftover materials, Xiao Bieli had a sudden idea and forged three palm-sized tokens.
He planned to give the three fifth step swords to Xiao Yu who was currently studying at Jia Nan Academy, as well as Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei who were still in the clan. The Froststeel Star Pattern Boxing Gloves were specially made for Xiao Zhan.
Although Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei were snobbish and looked down on Xiao Yan who had lost his talent, their character was not that bad. Especially when the clan's calamity was coming, they had even thrown away their personal grudges and united together. Just this point alone was worthy of Xiao Bieli's sword gift.
Furthermore, to Xiao Bieli, they were all juniors. Taking care of juniors was his duty.
Why was it that everyone had a share but Xiao Yan did not? This was because Xiao Bieli had considered the fact that Xiao Yan already possessed the Heavy Xuan Ruler. Rather than forging a sword for him, it would be more practical to give him a Monster Core. After all, Xiao Yan was also an alchemist. What alchemists lacked the most was a high grade Monster Core.
As for the seven fourth-tier longswords, Xiao Bieli planned to put them up in the auction house of the Temir clan. He believed that although the swords he forged were not priceless, they could still compete with the so-called third-tier and fourth-tier medicinal pills.
As for the three tokens, Xiao Bieli called them the 'Darknorth Sword Tokens'. They contained a strand of Xiao Bieli's Darknorth Sword Qi. As long as the wielder used his Dou Qi to activate the sword tokens, Xiao Bieli would be able to sense his location no matter where he was.
