Sword Forging (1)
"You're up? Let's forge a sword."
Seemingly knowing that Qiao Zidan had already come out, Qiao Tian turned around and walked towards the sword forging stage. Qiao Zidan hurriedly followed.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you starting?"
Qiao Tian, who had brought Qiao Zidan to the back of the platform, was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and asked.
Qiao Zidan pointed at a spot in the corner where there was a faint layer of bird-like light."Can I use this piece of iron?"
When he was on Earth, he had learned how to forge from some swordsmiths. Therefore, he also knew some iron blocks. Moreover, he also liked to make small hidden weapons like needles. More importantly, this iron block actually contained a certain amount of poisonous iron (a strange iron block that contained poison). It was perfect for forging needles.
The metal used to forge Qiao Tian's farming tools was sent by the villagers. They were all ordinary iron with many impurities. It was very difficult to create a high-quality hidden weapon. At this moment, the pig iron that Qiao Zidan was pointing at had just been delivered yesterday. What surprised Qiao Zidan was…
Qiao Tiandi shifted his gaze to the pig iron. "Eh, there's iron essence inside?" He walked over and lowered his head to take a look before turning to Qiao Zidan." Do you want to be a swordsmith in the future?”
Qiao Zidan nodded. The profession of swordsmith was undoubtedly the most suitable for him to forge needles.
"Dad, you're getting old. In a few years, when I'm older, you can teach me how to make kitchenware and let me take over your job.”
In the past, he had been working on the most precise hidden weapons, but he didn't know the simplest forging.
Qiao Tian was slightly absent-minded as he muttered,"" Sword Forger. Seems like he's not bad."
Pulling over a shabby chair, he sat down in front of the pig iron and said lazily,""Dan 'er, tell me, what kind of swordsmith is the best?”
Qiao Zidan thought for a moment and said,"A swordsmith who can forge a divine weapon should be the best swordsmith."”
He had once heard from the people in the village that there were divine artifacts in this world, even though he did not know what they were. However, it should be good to have the word 'god' on it.
Qiao Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of mockery." Divine artifact? Dan 'er also knew about the divine artifact. Then tell me, what is a divine artifact made of?”
Qiao Zidan didn't even think and said directly,"Of course, I'll use the best materials."
Qiao Tian stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of Qiao Zidan." If you want to be a qualified swordsmith, remember my words. Using high-grade materials to forge a Divine Weapon is not the best swordsmith. At most, you will only be a blacksmith. Only a Divine Craftsman could forge a Divine Artifact with ordinary iron.”
"Using ordinary iron to forge a divine artifact?" Qiao Zidan looked at Qiao Tian in shock. Usually, Qiao Tian rarely spoke to him, but today was the most he ever spoke to him.
Standing up, Qiao Tian pointed to a large iron lump that was 50 centimeters square on the other side of the room." You want to become a swordsmith and learn forging from me." Then, use your hammer to forge it ten thousand times. Only then do I have the qualifications."
It was a piece of ordinary iron that contained many impurities. It was much worse than the piece with iron essence.
"Now, you can still change your mind.”Qiao Tian said indifferently. She was already prepared to return to the inner room to continue sleeping.
"Daddy, I'm willing to try." Qiao Zidan's voice was clear and calm, but it contained a hint of determination.
Qiao Tian looked at him in surprise." Alright."”As he spoke, he walked over and picked up the big iron lump. He placed it directly on the furnace beside the bellows. As long as the charcoal fire was lit, it could be forged.
After doing this, Qiao Tian went back to sleep.
Qiao Zidan was a determined person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the leader of a first-rate assassin organization.
He lit the charcoal fire, pulled the bellows, and began his work.
The sound of bellows rang out, and flames emerged from the charcoal furnace, burning the big iron lump. Although Qiao Zidan did not know how to forge, he often watched Qiao Tian forge farm tools, so he knew the process.
When the iron lump was gradually burning red, he dragged the hammer that Qiao Tian usually used and placed it on the ground. This kind of long-handled hammer was even taller than his height. It was impossible for an ordinary five or six-year-old child to lift it, let alone swing it to forge.
However, Qiao Zidan still picked it up and activated his Vajra Hands. Even though he was only five and a half years old, he still possessed the strength of an adult.
When--
The iron hammer collided with the iron lump, producing a crisp sound. This was Qiao Zidan's first hammering, and it also opened the curtain of forging.
In the room, Qiao Tian, who was lying on the bed, turned over. Even though his eyes were closed, there was still some surprise on his face. He muttered," He can actually pick up a hammer. Is he born with divine strength?"”
Dang dang ~~
The sound of knocking began to ring out in the swordsmith shop. Qiao Tian and Qiao Zidan continued to live their ordinary lives. The only difference was that from this day onwards, Qiao Tian got another furnace in Qiao Zidan's room and let him forge the iron lump himself. He didn't give Qiao Zidan any pointers, but from this day onwards, Qiao Tian drank less wine and had more food at home.
Forging was definitely a boring and tiring process, but Qiao Zidan treated it as tempering her body. It had been eleven days, and he had been counting the number of times he had forged. If he wanted to swing the hammer, it was impossible to do it with his physical strength. He needed the assistance of the Vajra Hands.
All of his internal energy was enough for him to swing the hammer about a hundred times. Whenever his internal energy was exhausted, he would sit cross-legged on the ground to recover. Once his internal energy recovered, he would immediately continue to hammer.
This wasn't just a training for his body. The repeated consumption and recovery was also a good training for his Vajra Hands and willpower. Unfortunately, the bottleneck of the first stage of the Vajra Hand was like an indestructible barrier. Qiao Zidan's cultivation could not be said to not be hardworking, and he was talented enough, but he was unable to break through and enter the second stage.
However, his training did not go to waste. Even though he did not break through to the Vajra Hand, his internal strength had become tougher as he forged the iron lump, and his recovery speed seemed to be a little faster than before.
Eleven days had passed, and Qiao Zidan had already swung her hammer more than eight thousand times. The lump of iron kept shrinking, and it was already less than a third of its original size. With the training and the increase in food, his body became firmer. It was as if a force from his body was gradually injected into his body, causing the consumption of internal strength to gradually decrease during the continuous forging process. And when he added all his internal strength, his strength also increased a lot.
When he had hammered it a thousand times, the lump of iron had already undergone a certain change. It had become a whole size smaller. Although it was burning red in the charcoal fire, one could vaguely see that the impurities inside seemed to have decreased a lot.
Tempered into steel. This phrase appeared in Qiao Zidan's mind, and it strengthened his determination to complete the 10,000 hammer strikes. And he was very close to this goal.
Qiao Zidan's persistence surprised Qiao Tian. In his opinion, even if his son was born with divine strength, it was impossible for him to last more than three days. The handle of the hammer was so rough to prevent slipping. If he kept swinging it, the friction with his palm would definitely cause great damage to his palm. However, he noticed that although Qiao Zidan was forging, his small hands did not seem to have changed at all. There wasn't even a single bubble.
Qiao Zidan didn't want to lose his father, and he didn't want anyone to know about his past. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't tell Qiao Tian that this was because he was cultivating his teacher's unique technique, the Vajra Hands.
"If you work harder, you can finish it today.”Qiao Zidan swung the hammer in his hand with all his might. In this boring process, his heart was not calm. His understanding of this world was still very preliminary. After all, this was only a small village.
This world was called the Battle Soul Continent. This was the southwest part of the Battle Soul Continent. It was called the Southwest Continent. There were two powerful empires in the southwest continent: Heaven Empire, Star Empire. Or it could be said that there were two alliances. This was because in the two empires, a large number of territories were divided into vassals, and there were countless nobles with armed forces.
