"oh."
The man didn't know what he said wrong, scratched his messy hair, and walked inside.
Soon, the sound of 'clinking' iron was heard.
"I'm laughing, this disciple is ignorant and not good at words."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Hehe, it's pretty good."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Senior, you sell one sword a year, what about the swords you usually forge?"
"Hits, then destroys, and repeats itself..."
The old man shook his head.
"A sword that even I am not satisfied with should not exist in the world."
"Are you satisfied with the sword you sold?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"I'm not satisfied, but I have to live."
The old man shook his head.
"Shopkeeper Zhao is satisfied, as long as the buyer is satisfied."
"Your words are... simple, but with great wisdom."
Xiao Chen thought about it and gave a thumbs up.
"Country farmer, how can there be any great wisdom."
The old man shook his head.
"This year, I haven't produced a satisfactory sword yet."
"In legend, Emperor Xuanyuan was also very good at forging weapons. He forged a knife and a sword. The knife was sealed before it was born, but the sword accompanied him and became famous all over the world."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and smiled.
"If this place is really Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo, then there should be Xuanyuan Sword... I don't know, what do you think of Xuanyuan Sword?"
"Peerless Divine Soldier."
The old man blinked and said slowly.
"In the southwest of this place, there is a mountain peak with a crack in the middle... Whenever it is noon, the sun will pass through the gap, forming a faint shape of a sword on the ground! It is said that the mountain was split by the Xuanyuan Sword."
"Oh? There is such a place? Then I have to go and see."
Xiao Chen was surprised, but he had never heard of it.
"In the past, people often mentioned it, but these years, it is rarely mentioned."
The old man smiled.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that the ground has been dug three feet, and no opportunity has been found...On that mountain, every plant and tree have been turned over."
"When I go to have a look, I will take a look at the scenery."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked the little friend's name yet."
The old man seemed to have just thought of something, said.
"Chen Xiao."
Xiao Chen replied.
"Chen Xiao... it sounds familiar, where did I hear it?"
The old man frowned slightly and said twice, as if he had thought of something.
"Chen Xiao from Sifang City?"
"Hehe, I just came from Sifang City."
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile.
"Chen Xiao...has been admiring his name for a long time, it's like thunder."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and cupped his hands.
"It's because I'm old and my eyesight is clumsy, I didn't see it..."
"Hehe, what's the name?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"You are welcome."
"During the auction, Chen Xiaoyou was also at the scene. He saw the animal skin, so he came?"
The old man was thoughtful.
"Yes, not all of them. Even if I don't have the animal skin, I still want to come and see it."
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Who would have no idea about the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan?"
"hehe."
The old man also smiled. Over the years, too many Tianjiao have been here.
Including Qing Yunzi from Qingyun Tower, Shan Haijun from Shanhai Tower and other top talents!
Without exception, they all left disappointed.
Not to mention the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, even the Xuanyuan Realm... didn't enter.
Turn around in the sea of emperors and leave disappointed.
Of course, he couldn't tell Xiao Chen these words.
Tianjiao, which one is not pretentious and feels that he is a destined person?
After a few days, you will know... I am nothing~
"The seniors are not curious, what's on the animal skin?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked with a smile.
"Not curious."
The old man shook his head.
"I've lived here for so many years, and I've heard too much news... At the beginning, I had some thoughts, but they gradually disappeared."
"It's a pity that the animal skin is not complete, otherwise... we should be able to determine something."
Xiao Chen said.
"Hehe, when I'm old, I'll just hit the iron and live my life. The affairs of Xuanyuan Realm have nothing to do with me."
The old man smiled, obviously he didn't want to mention Xuanyuan Realm any more.
"I wonder if I can see how you forge a sword?"
Xiao Chen stopped talking too much and changed the topic.
"Forging a sword, the process is extremely boring, one hammer and one piece of iron, it takes a lot of tempering... In the end, it may not be successful."
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Since you are interested, let's meet."
"Thank you, senior."
"Nothing, please."
The old man got up and walked inside with Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei.
Jingle...
As they got closer, the sound of iron striking became louder.
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were surprised to find that there was something hidden in it.
The heat, blowing on the face, quickly made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"There is a formation here..."
Xiao Chen's heart moved. Although he is not good at formations, he knows a thing or two.
No matter the heat or the sound, they stayed here as much as possible and didn't spread out.
This can also explain why Wang Pingbei couldn't hear the sound when he was at the gate of the courtyard.
Sound insulation, heat insulation!
"Master."
Seeing the old man bring Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei in, the man was slightly surprised and stopped the hammer.
"Um."
The old man nodded, turned around and smiled.
"Chen Xiaoyou, have you seen blacksmiths before?"
"I've seen it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Hehe, I'm more interested in making swords, so I rushed over after hearing about it."
"Well, sit down."
The old man pointed to the chair next to him, then walked towards the man and took the hammer in his hand.
The hammer the size of a head fell into the hands of the old man as if it were nothing.
Xiao Chen was not surprised by this, although this blacksmith is thin and thin, but his strength... must be great.
When the old man picked up the hammer, he ignored Xiao Chen, as if he was immersed in his own world.
Jingle...
He picked up the hammer and kept hitting it.
The man glanced at Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei, wondering why Master would bring them in.
However, seeing that his master didn't say anything, he didn't say much, and continued to get busy.
Jingle...
The sound of the hammer colliding with the iron seems to have a certain rhythm, which is quite pleasant.
Xiao Chen looked at it with a smile, the process of forging the sword was the same as Linghu Nian's.
At that time, he also personally forged the Duan Kong Dao.
As time passed by, Wang Pingbei's eyes gradually changed.
It's really hard work!
The old man lightly held the hammer and kept hitting it.
The weight of this hammer may not be a big deal to a cultivator, but it is enough to surprise people if it keeps hitting... and it can continue to be so light.
"The old guy has so much strength..."
Wang Pingbei murmured in his heart.
Half an hour has passed, and the old man's movements have always maintained a rhythm, neither fast nor slow.
"Lifting weight as lightly..."
Xiao Chen said to himself, this piece of blacksmith... is interesting.
"Blow wind."
Suddenly, the old man said something.
"yes."
The man responded, blowing the wind, making the fire more intense, and even made a sound.
The heat in the room has increased again compared to before.
Even Wang Pingbei's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
His clothes were all wet.
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, and couldn't figure out why he came to see Blacksmith Zhang forging iron... What's so interesting about this?
"Why isn't he sweating?"
Muttering to himself, Wang Pingbei looked at the old man again, and was surprised to find that...the old man wasn't sweating either!
Even, during the blacksmithing process, the flames splashed everywhere, but it didn't splash on his body, what was just now is still what it is now.
This made his eyes widen, what's the matter?
"The power of heaven and earth..."
Xiao Chen naturally also discovered that this was using the power of heaven and earth to block the flying sparks and dust.
Even the heat is kept out.
Time, among the jingling, passed quickly.
During the blacksmithing process, the old man ignored Xiao Chen all the time, and cared about his blacksmithing, as if the two of them were not there.
It was the man's eyes, who glanced at Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei from time to time, and they still left?
"You go outside and wait for me."
Xiao Chen looked at the drenched Wang Pingbei and said something.
"good."
Wang Pingbei hurriedly responded and left quickly.
As soon as he came out, he took a deep breath, and the cool wind hit him, making him feel unspeakably comfortable.
He looked back and couldn't figure out what Xiao Chen was going to do. Isn't this a waste of time?
In the house, blacksmithing continued.
Xiao Chen didn't feel bored at all, but watched with relish.
After another hour passed, the old man looked at the sword in his hand and smiled slightly: "It's okay."
Immediately, he looked at Xiao Chen: "What do you think, Xiaoyou Chen?"
"Good sword."
Xiao Chen looked at the sword in the old man's hand. Among the swords, it was already the best, and it was about to reach the level of a demigod soldier.
"Congratulations, senior."
"Hehe, there is nothing to congratulate, that is to say, it's okay."
The old man smiled, shook his hands and threw the sword into the furnace.
"Let's melt it down."
"Yes, Master."
The man nodded, adding to the fire.
"..."
Xiao Chen was very surprised, comparable to a demigod soldier, still not satisfied?
What does he want to cast?
Could it be that it is a magic weapon?
Take this sword out, not to mention the auction, it is definitely worth a lot of money in any shop.
He just looked at it, said 'it's okay', and then it was about to be destroyed?
"Chen Xiaoyou, let's go out and have a cup of tea."
The old man didn't look at the sword in the furnace any more, and said to Xiao Chen.
"Huh? Oh, yes, senior."
Xiao Chen nodded, secretly said 'it's a pity', and followed out.
The man glanced at Xiao Chen's back, muttered something in his mouth, and continued to be busy with the things the old man explained.
"It's finally out."
Waiting outside, Wang Pingbei, who was extremely bored, got up quickly when he saw the two people coming out.
"sit down."
The old man smiled and poured two cups of tea.
"The sword-making process is very boring. It is really rare for Chen Xiaoyou to see the whole process from the beginning to the end."
"Hehe, I think it's quite interesting."
Xiao Chen picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The sound of your striking iron has some rhythm, which can help you cultivate your spirit."
"..."
The old man who was about to drink tea paused slightly and glanced at Xiao Chen.
"Chen Xiaoyou, do you know who was the last Tianjiao who watched me blacksmith?"
"who?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"Qingyunzi of Qingyun Building."
The old man said slowly.
"Qing Yunzi?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
Wang Pingbei behind him widened his eyes and almost cried out.
Why hasn't he heard of this?
