"Lord Father, you cannot make things difficult for Young Master Qin.”When Mo Xie heard that his father Ou Yezi wanted to test Qin Yu, he immediately became somewhat unhappy.
Ou Yezi smiled and said," You silly daughter. I am your father. Even if you really want to marry this Young Master Qin, can't your father test him?" Moreover, his father had really encountered a problem.”
After saying that, Ou Yezi walked to Qin Yu and said."Young Master Qin, this old man had a few words with my daughter, Moxie, and I understand everything. I heard that you are also a famous swordsmith. I have encountered a problem in the process of forging a sword. I wonder if you can give me some advice?”
"I dare not offer advice." "Grandmaster, you might as well tell me. I can help you think of a way."”
"Alright, this old man will first thank Young Master Qin. Please follow me.”
After Ou Yezi finished speaking, he led Qin Yu and the others to the grass hut where he forged his sword.
The location of the straw hut was very quiet and was not easily disturbed by others.
There was a dark cave near the straw hut. Ou Yezi had collected ores from this cave.
Behind the straw hut, there was a spring that flowed down the mountain. The spring water was clear and steaming, like hot spring water.
Even on this snowy day, the spring water was still not frozen, and the water was flowing.
In the stream, a straw shed was built, and a large furnace for forging swords was placed in the straw shed to smelt ores and forge swords.
"Young Master Qin, please take a look. This is the sword I forged for the King of Yue.”Ou Yezi pulled out the bronze sword from the warm stove.
Qin Yu looked at that bronze sword. It was indeed extremely similar to the Yue King Gou Jian's sword of the later generation.
"Father!" Moxie said excitedly. So you've already forged the sword, then why don't you go down the mountain and hand it over to the King of Yue?”
"Moxie, can't you see the flaws of this sword?" Ou Yezi sighed. I've been trying to solve this problem for a month, but I still haven't found a solution.”
Moxie shook his head and said," Father, I feel that this sword is just a little rough. With a little more polishing, it will definitely be a peerless sword!”
"Young Master Qin, what do you think?" Ou Yezi asked.
Qin Yu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he walked to a large rock at the side and smashed it with his sword.
The stone was smashed into a hole.
The bronze sword broke in half from the middle!
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan didn't understand the sword, so they didn't know what was going on.
Although Moxie understood the sword, he didn't really understand. He exclaimed,""This bronze sword looks very good, but why is it so fragile that it shattered?”
Ou Yezi clapped his hands in delight. He did not think that the broken sword was a bad thing. Instead, he praised,"Young Master Qin, you truly live up to your reputation! He recognized the weakness of the bronze sword at a glance!”
"Why is this happening?" Mo Xie curiously looked at Qin Yu and Ou Yezi and asked,
Qin Yu says with a smile: 'Because the ore used to forge this sword contains some unknown metal ores. These metal ores have impurities inside. If we cannot melt these metal ores into liquid and remove the impurities inside, it will cause the forged sword to break very easily.”
After all, there was no high-tech metal smelting technology in the Spring and Autumn Period, so if they encountered some metal minerals with particularly high melting points, it would be more difficult to solve.
"I see." Moxie nodded in understanding.
"I wonder if Young Master Qin has a solution?" Ou Yezi asked again.”
Qin Yu nods and says: 'Of course there are. There are two solutions. First, we can directly remove these unknown metal ore particles. This is the simplest method. The second was to use some method to smelt these metal ores.”
"Young Master and I happen to have the same opinion." Ou Yezi looked at Qin Yu with admiration in his eyes. He said."But I don't want to use the first method. These unidentifiable metal ores can make this bronze sword a famous sword. If we remove them, it will only be an ordinary bronze sword.”
"Yes!" Said Qin Yu with certainty.
" What is it? Please tell me!" Ou Yezi hurriedly asked.
"Virgin Yin Blood!" Qin Yu replied.”
"Virgin Yin Blood? Is there any ancient record of this?" Ou Yezi asked.
Qin Yu nodded and said,"It's a method that I read from an ancient book in the Zhou Dynasty's library in Luo Yi." However, this method was not effective for all ores. Some worked, while others did not.”
This was something Qin Yu had really seen in an ancient book in the library. According to his guess, the Yin blood of virgins should be able to undergo a chemical reaction with certain ores and dissolve them.
Qin Yu also did not delve into it. He was only using this method to act as a cover.
In fact, Qin Yu's real solution was to reforge the bronze sword using the system's sword-forging technique. Then, he would use the metal strengthening master's buff to carry out the first transition strengthening. He would definitely be able to forge a peerless sword.
"Young Master Qin is indeed knowledgeable and talented. This old man is ashamed of his inferiority.”Ou Yezi said in admiration.
Moxie also said with a bashful expression,""Young Master Qin, can I use my Yin blood to forge this sword?”
Qin Yu nodded and replied."That's right. However, the ancient books say that the person who forges the sword must use masculine Qi to fuse with it. Otherwise, it will still be impossible to forge it.”
Ou Yezi was helpless. He sighed." It seems like I can't forge this sword myself. I wonder if Young Master Qin is willing to help me forge this sword?" If you are willing, this old man will agree to your marriage with my daughter, Moxie, and let her marry into your residence.”
Qin Yu was naturally willing. However, he still nodded calmly and said."Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Ou Yezi. What do you think, Miss Moxie?”
Moxie had already lowered his head shyly and softly muttered,""Moxie will listen to Father."
This was a tactful agreement.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan smiled at each other. It seemed that they would have another sister at home.
"Since that's the case, then I will stay on Kuaiji Mountain to forge the sword from today onwards. I will try my best to forge it as soon as possible!”Said Qin Yu.
The snow on the mountain began to fall again.
The cold wind was biting and the north wind was howling.
Ou Yezi had left the mountain. Only Qin Yu, Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, Mo Xie and Ah Qing were left behind. There was also a grass hut.
