The Sky-devouring System had activated the Smithing Skill. Master Ye Kai had obtained the Smithing Skill!
"Follow me inside. I want to forge a weapon myself.”
Ye Kai walked towards the refining room, Hu Shi could only follow behind him!
"Son-in-law, what weapon do you want to forge? Let me do it.”
He lit up the furnace. What was burning inside was not ordinary charcoal, but a kind of black ore. Its ignition point was extremely high, and it could easily melt hard iron.
After Hu Shi lit up the furnace, he took the lead. Although he was still an apprentice, he could still forge ordinary weapons, just that they were a little rough.
"Hu Shi, do you want to become a grandmaster artifact craftsman?”
Ye Kai picked out a few pieces of Meteoric Iron of excellent quality and placed them on the table. He suddenly asked Hu Shi.
The Fang Clan was in a precarious situation. Without the weapon workshop, the Fang Clan's status would plummet and fall to a second-rate clan. Soon, it would be annexed by the other three clans.
Fang Shenwu had given him a new lease of life, and he was also the Fang family's son-in-law, so he could not stand by and watch.
The ordinary method of nurturing blacksmiths was too slow. By the time the Fang Clan caught their breath, they would have already been destroyed.
Once the market share was lost, it would be difficult to get it back.
"Son-in-law, you must be joking. Even in my dreams, I want to become a blacksmith master.”
Business was not good, so all the blacksmiths were resting, including the apprentices. Only Hu Shi persisted in coming here every day. Just based on his temperament, he was worthy of Ye Kai's nurturing.
"Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I can help you become a master of forging.”
Ye Kai could not stay in Fiery Wind City forever. The Divine Dragon Academy was his goal.
"Guye, don't tease me. What do you want to refine, I'll help you.”Hu Shi said!
Ye Kai didn't force him. In everyone's eyes, he had always been a good-for-nothing. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe it. Action was the best proof.
"Hu Shi, palm fire!"
Suddenly, an indescribable aura appeared on Ye Kai's body. His eyes became extremely firm as he took out a piece of meteoric iron and threw it into the furnace.
Hu Shi didn't dare to be negligent. He moved the bellows with his right hand, and the black ore in the furnace emitted a scorching flame. The temperature was extremely high, so he had to take off his coat.
To forge a weapon, one first had to melt the meteoric iron and pour it into the mold to forge it.
There were three stages to refining weapons. The lowest level was called the Ten Refinement. It was designed for ordinary tools and made crudely, such as hoes, plows, and other common civilian tools.
The second method was Hundred Refinement, which was more difficult. Thousand Refinement was what it meant. The weapon that was refined would be extremely sharp and much tougher than the Ten Refinement. The requirements for the Meteoric Metal were also extremely high.
The most difficult was the Thousand Refinement. In the entire Fiery Wind City, there was not a single blacksmith who could achieve the Thousand Refinement Technique.
After a hundred refinements, the refined iron would take shape. It would be very difficult to melt it again. Even if it was successfully melted, after pouring it into the mold, its hardness would increase. Ordinary people would not be able to temper it and forge it into the desired form.
Most of the weapons on the market were stuck at the Hundred Refined stage. This was a dividing line.
The Fang Clan had a unique set of smithing techniques. Ordinary hundred-refined weapons could be made even sharper. This was also the main reason why the Fang Clan's weapons had always been popular.
Ye Kai didn't care about ordinary hundred forged weapons. He would forge the best long saber by himself.
It would take some time for the meteoric iron to melt. Ye Kai walked to the mold. Most of them were swords and sabers. They were not the ones he wanted. He needed to carve a new mold himself.
He took out a tool and carved a long knife mold according to the pattern he had drawn in his mind. After an incense stick of time, the meteoric iron in the furnace had almost melted. The red molten iron splashed some molten iron and fell on the edge of the furnace. Many burns on Hu Shi's arm were caused by the molten iron.
"Son-in-law, there is too much meteoric iron. It is enough to forge ten long sabers.”
The melting of so much meteoric iron made Hu Shi's heart ache!
"You don't understand. You have to record down the entire process of my forging. It will be helpful for you in the future.”
He poured all the molten iron into the mold and added cold water. It quickly cooled down and he placed it on the ox horn iron block!
Ye Kai's upper body was naked, and his physical strength was boundless. He held a hundred-pound hammer, while Hu Shi held a ten-pound hammer.
"Da da da…"
One by one, they continuously smashed into the knives that had yet to form.
After hammering a hundred times, he placed the knife into the furnace, continued to roast, knead, and pull it out to continue hammering.
Over and over again, Hu Shi's initial disbelief turned into shock and numbness. He could no longer describe his current feelings. Who did his son-in-law learn his refining techniques from?
An hour passed…
Two hours passed…
Ye Kai did not know how to tire. He had compressed the knife from a meter long to half a meter long, and its precision had increased tenfold.
"Son-in-law, we can't continue tempering. We've already exceeded 100 refinements. If this continues, the knife won't be able to take shape and will definitely be scrapped.”
Hu Shi's heart ached for the few pieces of good quality meteoric iron. It was a pity to waste them. They had already been refined more than a hundred times. There was no point in continuing to hammer them.
Madam Fang was a master of artifact refinement. She had been trying all these years to see if she could make a new breakthrough after more than 100 refinements, but she had always failed.
"Don't worry, I know what to do!"
Hu Shi threw the half-finished knife into the furnace. Helpless, he could only pump the bellows. There was no fire, but the black ore could make a sizzling sound. The knife turned red again.
"Hu Shi, eat this."
The next step was the most important. After two hours of continuous training, Hu Shi's physical strength was extremely exhausted.
He took out a Heavenly Spirit Pill and let him swallow it. He could not stop for the next moment. If there was a slight mistake, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"What…what kind of pill is this?”
How could Hu Shi afford to eat such a high-grade medicinal pill? A trace of surprise appeared on his face. He was somewhat unable to understand the son-in-law in front of him.
"Just eat it."
After swallowing the Heavenly Spirit Pill, Hu Shi felt as if his body was bathed in the gentle sunlight. His entire body felt relaxed and his body emitted cracking sounds. He had broken through to Houtian sixth stage. This made him overjoyed. A small pill had shortened his months of hard work.
"Thank you, son-in-law!"
Hu Shi bowed and was just short of kneeling down. The respect he had shown him earlier was due to the difference between master and servant, but this time, it came from the bottom of his heart.
The knife turned dark red and Ye Kai quickly pulled it out. He held the carving knife in his hand and carved strange patterns on the blade. Hu Shi was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ye Kai seemed to have been possessed by a god. Every movement was smooth and natural. Every time the saber landed, a lifelike mark was left on the saber. The long saber that had yet to take shape emitted a faint spirituality.
As an apprentice blacksmith, he knew the importance of spirituality. A weapon with spirituality could sweep across the entire Fiery Wind City.
Hu Shi had the urge to worship him. His right hand trembled, and the hammer in his hand almost fell and hit his foot.
"Begin!"
Hu Shi smashed the hammer in his hand down fiercely, and a strong rebound force almost sent the hammer flying. After being augmented with spirit runes, the semi-finished blade seemed to have become countless times harder.
Ye Kai's hundred jin hammer smashed down fiercely, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Hu Shi quickly collected his thoughts and didn't dare to think too much, putting all his attention into refining.
