Chapter 720 Master Forger.

Chapter 720 Master Forger.

Shi Lang used the hammer to fold the hot metal into itself multiple times. The big pile of metal was reduced to a stick that was three feet tall. The forging masters knew this weapon was a sword but did not know the type.

To make a spiritual weapon, one had to carve array patterns on the weapon that allowed a smooth flow of the energy inside the weapon. It was like an electric circuit; one wrong line would cause a short circuit. They wanted to see what Shi Lang's limit lay.

His ability to refine the metal a hundred times impressed them. After all, Shi Lang came from a martial artist background. They had to admire him for that. A hundred refinings did not mean beating the metal with the hammer a hundred times. It meant the forger needed to hit the metal and remove its impurities. All hundred hits were to purify the metal and make it denser.

Shi Lang did not stop. His hammer rained down on the stick, and it became even finer. Grandmaster Huang was watching things in a daze. He did not know how Shi Lang managed to do it, but he could not deny that it happened. Yang Tie stood beside him and asked, "Do you understand why the master has chosen him?"

Old Man Huang nodded and said, "This weapon is about to reach the level of a thousand refined ones. All this with five hundred hits. The refining process dictates that one light hit detects the impurities, followed by the hit to eliminate them. I have no idea how he is doing this, but he can sense the impurities dead on and refine it with every hit. This is unprecedented to what we knew about forging."

Yang Tie nodded and remarked, "It could be his secret, but who among us does not have a secret?"

Old Man Huang nodded, and suddenly, the hall echoed with a hiss. Shi Lang had quenched the blade. The steam gradually vanished, and the Terran removed the blade from the quenching vessel. He inspected the surface and nodded. The blade turned out to be a traditional common long sword.

He manipulated his spiritual energy and lifted the blade into the void. After some thought, he said, "This weapon is a long sword, optimal for slashing. You may be thinking how I made a long sword from the black moon iron and star cotton steel. One of the metals is so hard that it is extremely brittle. Besides making mechanical parts, this metal is deemed unsuitable for forging."

He paused, the people nodded, and he continued, "However when the brittle black moon iron meets the mushy and extremely malleable Star Cotton Steel, it comes to life. These two metals have different properties but have a few things in common."

One crowd member remarked, "They can channel spiritual energy almost seamlessly. They are also used as blending mediums to unite other materials."

Shi Lang nodded and smiled, "Yes, you are correct, brother. These two metals are used to support forging projects in many cases. They are the most easily available metals in the immortal realm."

Old Man Huang was surprised by the ingenuity of this forge, and at this moment, he could not hold back his questions and asked, "Young Master, I have a few questions for you."

Shi Lang faced him and nodded. The old man was a senior and hungry for knowledge. Since he asked him a question, it must be something very confusing.

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I have carved the array of channels inside the blade's body with the help of my spiritual energy."

The Grandmasters were shocked. They quickly checked the weapon with their spiritual energy and were shocked. Shi Lang had carved the patterns inside the blade's body into tubes. They looked like blood vessels, but the effect of the spiritual flow inside the weapon was higher than anything they had seen on this level.

The old man passed the weapon to Yang Tie, who was also shocked. He did not expect something like this to be done when carving arrays. This was an extremely dangerous process. One mistake and the weapon would explode. Shi Lang did it while refining the blade.

Yang Tie looked at Shi Lang in a daze. His heart shivered. This young man was a monster hidden in human skin. He did not dare to estimate the potential of this person anymore. Shi Lang had given him shock after shock, and he was reaching his limit.

After the inspection, Yang Tie said, "Take this weapon to the forger association and get a Master Forger title plate for Young Master. Use my seal to vouch for his abilities."

Old Man Huang and the other grandmasters exchanged glances and said, "Pavilion Master, take our tokens too. The association will not be able to question it then."

Shi Lang was surprised but thought it would not be this easy, would it? After all, people had to spend decades learning things. Even if he knew the lower realm, it meant nothing to the rules here. Elfie walked up to Yang Tie and said, "I knew you would ask me to do something like this, so I have recorded the process in the image stone. It will be much easier for the processing."

Shi Lang was surprised by this person's attentiveness. He smiled and said, "Miss Elfie, you remind me of an adjutant who once served under my command. Very diligent of you."

Elfie knew that Shi Lang was complimenting her. She did not take offence, but if someone was able to get his recognition, that meant the person must be good.

She bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, sister Yun told me about your conflict with the Zhu family. I suggest that you stay inside the pavilion for the next few days."

Shi Lang nodded, and Elfie continued, "I will take Sister Yun and Brother Bo to tour the city."

The terran nodded in a daze, he did not know why but the suggestions made by this girl were accepted by him. He furrowed his brows and shook his head. He asked calmly, "What are you doing to me?"

The people around him were shocked. Elfie was shocked, she saw red light flickering in Shi Lang's eyes, and hid behind Yang Tie. Shi Lang's gaze turned cold and he asked, "What is going on here?"
