C98

After logging off, Liu Wei An went straight to sleep. This was the first time in many years that he had woken up at 9 am the next day. When he woke up, he felt full of energy and all the soreness and tiredness in his body had already disappeared. Moreover, he found that the starry sky pattern in the 'Dark Emperor Sutra' had lit up a little bit.

After finishing the sacrificial ceremony, he went online.

If he didn't get the , he would have sold the ore and exchanged it for the strength seed. However, he no longer had this thought. With such a good ore, there was no need to give it to others. However, he could clear out the rest of the loot he had gotten from the cave over the past ten days.

Forging techniques were far more complicated than he imagined. Every step of mine selection, refining, shaping, tempering, quenching, and sharpening was enough for an ordinary person to train in for a lifetime. This was also the forging method of an ordinary weapon, and the masterwork of the masterwork weapon had to be engraved with runes, inlaid with precious stones, and so on. For example, if you want to choose a mine, you have to use copper as a standard. "" No, no

Copper mines are divided into bronze, green copper and white copper. Different copper ores had different purity and impurities. Some impurities were beneficial, but most of the impurities were harmful. How to select and identify them depended on one person. How to turn a waste into a treasure depended on one's methods. Of course, it was still too early to say that. Liu Wei An was just a rookie. What he needed the most right now was to recognize these ores.

Not only did he have to recognize the ore, but he also had to be familiar with it. This familiarity was not only related to the ore's properties, composition, function, and price, but also to the fact that even the rich and powerful could not ignore the problem of price.

There were at least eight hundred ores in the world. Apart from some meteorites and some undiscovered ores, it would take them one to two years to get to know these ores. To be familiar with them, three to five years was normal. Only after this step was the refinement completed.

Refining was divided into two parts. The first was to extract the metal from the ore. This process was called rough refining, and the second was to remove unnecessary impurities from the metal. This process was called refining. Only after the required metals are refined can they be plastic.

The three essentials of refining were the furnace, the flame, and the fuel. The fuel determined the flame, while the flame determined the effect of refining.

It involved a series of knowledge on mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, design, and so on. To become a qualified blacksmith, all of these things had to be missing, for example, one person had to create a divine weapon that was incomparably sharp, but the design was wrong, and it broke off in just a few tries. This kind of divine weapon was not up to standard, it only wasted the materials and energy.

Training required a very strict amount of physical strength and strength. At the very least, one had to be able to wield an iron hammer that weighed several dozens of pounds, and then, one had to have a strong endurance, so it would take several days and several nights to frequently craft a masterwork weapon. If at the last moment, he failed to forge a weapon due to his physical strength being insufficient, he probably would not need anyone to blame him.

Quenching is just a general term. In fact, after a weapon is formed, there are four ways to deal with it. They are annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering.

According to the different goals one had, choosing different handling methods, such as a heavy sword, naturally focused on hardness, while the software focused on softness, while the spear was different, requiring softness and flexibility. This could involve several different handling methods, the complexity of which could not be clearly explained with just a few words.

Knife slicing was one of the simplest steps, but it was also the most important step. As for sharp weapons, one of the most important features of them was their incomparable sharpness. If they wanted to cut through metal like that, their difficulty could be imagined.

As for the runes and inlay, it was not something that Liu Wei An could understand.

After understanding these things, Liu Wei An was a little dumbfounded. Before he learned the [Blacksmith's Manual], he thought very simply, today's learning, tomorrow's training, the day after tomorrow's training, he already planned to forge a weapon. According to what was written, when he became a blacksmith, he would probably have mastered his archery.

He thought for a while and sighed. He had to take things slowly, step by step. It was difficult to improve his archery so even if it was blacksmithing it was still a way. It was better than not being able to understand it.

However, a smithy was not a public notice room. If one wanted to come and visit, they could. A copper coin was ten minutes, and an hour was six copper coins. This price was definitely not something an ordinary person could afford.

Liu Wei'an had spent 60 copper coins and stayed in the blacksmith store for 10 hours. Tungsten iron, black iron, white iron, violet sun iron, ant iron, ghost eye iron, and three colored iron …

There were dozens of different kinds of iron ores, and the real iron ores were sold in blacksmith shops. There were about two hundred and eighty different kinds of iron ores, and Stone City was located in a remote area, so it was already very rare to be able to collect dozens of them. Three-colored iron was only the size of a fingernail, but the price was two times higher than blue ice iron.

As long as he accepted the money, he would always do things seriously. He was eloquent, but he had a lot of experience, some things were useless, and after five hours, he had opened a new door for Liu Wei An. The world of ores was very rich.

He continued to pay for the blacksmith's forging. This time, the blacksmith hesitated, but Liu Wei An wasn't in a hurry. He kept increasing the chips until the price reached 5000 copper coins. Finally, the blacksmith finally nodded.

This was the first time he had seen the entire process of manufacturing a weapon at such a close distance. The meaning of this was very significant, the amount of money spent was too little, and the description of the book was far less vivid and memorable than a blacksmith with decades of experience demonstrating it personally.

By the time he left the blacksmith shop, Liu Wei An had a basic understanding of forging. He was no longer as lost as he was before. He hadn't slept at all that night, but he was still full of energy. The blacksmith who had worked hard for half the night was also full of energy. Looking at the blacksmith's bright eyes, Liu Wei An experienced what it meant to have outstanding stamina and endurance.

"It seems to be this person!" A few people held a portrait and pointed it at Liu Wei An. Their eyes were filled with scrutiny and observation.

They were all dressed like warriors and were about 30 meters away from Liu Wei An. Although they lowered their voices, Liu Wei An's hearing wasn't weak. He could hear them clearly.

"Hurry up and make a move, don't let others get the first move, that's 300 thousand copper coins."

Liu Wei An had just come out of the blacksmith's shop, his mind was still preoccupied with the matter of forging iron. Although he had heard the voice, before he could even think about it, he heard a slight piercing sound coming from behind him, and his face changed, he dodged quickly, but he was still a step too late. A sharp pain spread from his back to his whole body, and he was shot by an arrow, which was less than two centimeters away from the center of his back.

All of a sudden, killing intent filled the streets.
