Chapter 1645

As the saying goes, a skillful woman cannot make bricks without rice. Iron is the most common material, but it is also very moderate. Maybe Yang Xuan can make it have different characteristics by forging, but the upper limit is very low after all.

After thinking hard for a while, Yang Xuan suddenly patted his head and said, "since a blade has limits, why don't I make more?"

Thinking of this, he waved his big hand, and the iron ingot in front of him was divided into two pieces by Yang Xuan with strong wind and thrown into the iron stove.

On the other side, Qi zilei has started his creation step by step.

"Do you want to make steel?" Yang Xuan looked at Qi zilei's action and immediately understood what he wanted to do.

"Hum, it's a good technique, but it doesn't seem to be the limit." Yang Xuan muttered in his heart that the iron ingot thrown into the iron furnace had been softened by the high temperature and was taken out by Yang Xuan.

For a moment, everyone's eyes gathered on Yang Xuan. Although Yang Xuan lost to Qi zilei in the second competition, they were still amazed by Yang Xuan's performance. Therefore, in the most wonderful third competition, they all wanted to know what Yang Xuan planned.

However, Yang Xuan didn't pay attention to the eyes around him. He looked at the two iron ingots in front of him, waved a hammer and hit them hard. Then, his body spun up, took great strength and hit the iron ingot again.

"Whirlwind hammer method?" Everyone was surprised. Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan showed the whirlwind hammer method again.

"What is he doing?" The second elder frowned. He found that he couldn't see through the young man's ideas.

"Isn't this the way to make iron essence?" Someone said to the second elder. The second elder nodded. Of course, he saw that Yang Xuan wanted to make an iron essence, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the blade.

"Look, I always think this boy seems to be able to work miracles." Another elder came to the second elder and said to the second elder.

The two elders nodded, and they stopped talking.

On the other side, Yang Xuan used the whirlwind hammer method. The size of the iron ingot in front of him soon narrowed by half and became silver again. This is through special techniques and strong beating, which changes the nature of wrought iron and finally becomes what it is now.

Generally speaking, the iron essence is used to forge the sword body, because its biggest feature is only one, that is tenacity. But what Yang Xuan wants to build next, toughness is a very important factor.

After forging the iron essence, Yang Xuan took out another iron ingot, flattened them with an iron hammer, folded them in half and knocked them again.

"Wrought iron? That's a good idea." Qi zilei looked in the direction of Yang Xuan. Seeing Yang Xuan's technique, he immediately praised in his heart: "forging the blade with 100 forged iron can make the blade more tough. It seems that the foundation is good. But what's his iron essence for?"

Qi zilei looked at Yang Xuan's desktop puzzled, quite confused. Generally speaking, the iron essence is used to forge the sword body, but now it is necessary to forge the blade. If the iron essence is used to forge the blade, the strength of the blade is not enough.

But before long, Yang Xuan completed the forging of 100 forged iron, and then picked up the iron essence. The wrought iron was beaten into a flat shape, and the iron essence also became a thin layer under the action of the hammer.

Yang Xuan overlapped the two and kept repeating the action of folding in half.

Until after folding dozens of times, Yang Xuan suddenly separated the iron block in front of him from the middle, and then beat the edge of the iron block into a thin blade.

"It's done!" Yang Xuan threw the knife in front of him, which was not very good-looking, into the bucket. He saw white smoke rising and a Zizi sound coming from the bucket.

After a while, Yang Xuan picked up the blade.

"Elder, I have finished." Yang Xuan put the blade in his hand in front of the second elder and said to him. The second elder took the blade. After a curious look, he found that the edge of the blade was very strange.

"Is this the blade you made?" The second elder looked at Yang Xuan strangely. Although there was no problem with the blade of this short knife, the second elder was surprised that the blade of this knife was not sharp. For such a thin blade, the blade even seemed heavy.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile. The second elder looked at Yang Xuan's expression, but he was disappointed in his heart. He thought Yang Xuan was a genius, but he was disappointed when he saw the blade made by Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan did not explain, but looked at Qi zilei on other side. Qi zilei just took his weapon out of the ice water, also put it in front of the second elder, and said to him, "senior brother, please come out the knife test stone."

"OK, but I'll advise you here. Since everyone is in the same trade, there's no need to kill each other. Sometimes taking a step back is a better solution." The two elders said to them, but after Yang Xuan and Qi zilei looked at each other, they both twisted their faces to one side.

The second elder sighed helplessly and asked people to carry the knife test stone out of the backyard of the Qi family.

There are thousands of weapons in the world. Even if the same kind of weapons are made by different blacksmiths, they will have different performances. Therefore, how to evaluate the quality of weapons has always been a headache.

It was not until the blacksmith union was established that a ghost invented the magic tool of knife test stone. The test stone can give an evaluation according to the performance of the weapon. Like the blacksmith's level division, the test stone also divides the weapon into six levels, and each level is divided into ten small levels.

With such a detailed division, the blacksmith Union has a more intuitive feeling about the strength of blacksmiths.

"Who comes first?" The two elders looked at them and asked them.

Qi zilei immediately picked up the weapon he made and said, "let me come first, and let the boy have more time to prepare himself. Be careful to cry later."

He said and put his weapon on the knife test stone.

There is a smooth mirror on the test stone, and stars shine on it. There are ten stars, but with the change of color, they also represent different grades, according to copper. Iron. Silver. Kim. Master. The six levels of craftsman correspond to dark yellow respectively. silver grey. Silver. Kim. Purple. Red has six colors.

Everyone's eyes fell on the knife test stone. Just after Qi zilei's weapon was put on, it immediately turned into ten dark yellow stars, followed by ten silver gray stars. It turned silver and finally gold. The golden stars lit up one by one, and finally stopped when it lit up to the eighth.

"Golden eight stars, good results." Qi zilei picked up his weapon with satisfaction. After all, it was just iron. Since records began, the highest weapon forged with iron was the golden ten stars.

Qi zilei looked at Yang Xuan and said to Yang Xuan, "please, little brother."
