Chapter 368 First Forging
Lan Xuanyu took the forging hammer, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious. He started with a forging hammer. The patterns on the handle of the hammer fit his fingers. For him, the forging hammer was a bit big. After all, he was still young and his body had not yet grown up.
The forging hammer is also heavy, but with Lan Xuanyu's strength, there is no problem in controlling nature.
The senior stopped talking and stepped aside, ready to watch him forge.
Whether a soul master has the talent for forging can often be seen during the first forging. Talented people will naturally behave differently from ordinary people.
The smelting time was not long, the forging table cracked again, the burned red heavy silver slowly rose up, and was pushed to the forging table by the slide rail. Suddenly, the temperature of the entire room rose a few points.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yin attentively. Although it was his first time forging, he had also heard that forging requires concentration and using one's own mental power to feel the vibrations produced by the metal during the forging process. change. This change often determines the success rate of forging, and also determines the subsequent methods of forging.
He could feel that the originally hard Chen Yin seemed to have softened due to the high temperature. Chen Yin gave him the feeling of a change from silence to activity. It also seems to want to be more active.
As soon as this thought came up, Lan Xuanyu immediately started to move, raising the hammer in his hand and hitting it like heavy silver in front of him.
In the eyes of the young senior next to him, his blow was naturally without any rules, and he even used the force in the wrong way. However, he swung the hammer very decisively, obviously using all his strength.
With a loud "dang" sound, Lan Xuanyu felt a strong force coming from him, which made his palms feel hot and numb. But the power of the blood in his body circulated on its own, and the counterattack was resolved in an instant. The Chen Yin in front of him suddenly dented under his full blow.
"Good strength." The senior praised.
Lan Xuanyu used the force of the rebound to raise the forging hammer high again, and then slammed it down again.
There was another loud "dang" sound, and the heavy silver sparks scattered under the beating. Vaguely, Lan Xuanyu seemed to feel some changes in Chen Yin.
He couldn't tell what this change was, but what was certain was that it shouldn't be a bad change.
The forging hammer was raised, lowered, and struck again. Again and again, firmly and with all your might.
Lan Xuanyu doesn’t know how to forge at all, but anyone can do simple beating. With each hammer blow, Lan Xuanyu silently felt the changes in Shen Yin in front of him as he watched Chen Yin being gradually flattened.
Yes, it is always changing in its own forging.
The senior behind him just watched silently with his arms crossed at first. Lan Xuanyu, like most people who have never forged before, just smashes it with a forging hammer. However, after watching it for a while, he began to feel a little moved.
Lan Xuanyu is indeed a simple hammer, but every time his forging hammer falls, the force is almost the same.
You know, not everyone can keep pounding with all their strength and continuously. The repulsive force of the forging hammer can easily injure bones and muscles. Although it would be much better for a soul master to have soul power to protect him, controlling the power is not that easy. Lan Xuanyu's every blow was clearly full force, but he was able to maintain it. What's more important is his focus. From the beginning to the end, he never said a word during the forging. His eyes were always fixed on Shen Shen, and he kept hitting it with hammers.
A cube of metal was gradually smashed into pieces by him, but his hammering still did not stop. It was still being smashed down.
As the temperature of immersed silver continues to drop, the hardness also begins to increase. The red color gradually disappeared, but Lan Xuanyu found that Chen Yin seemed to be a little brighter after being beaten by him.
The forging hammer in his hand finally stopped. He turned around and looked at the senior who looked surprised, and said: "Senior, does the fact that Chen Yin has become brighter mean that my forging is effective?"
The senior was silent. He nodded, "Yes, this means that the quality of Chen Yin has been improved and the impurities have been reduced under your forging. The process just now can be regarded as a forging. How was it? How did it feel to try it? "
Lan Xuanyu thought for a while and said: "I seem to feel that it is always changing during my forging process, but I can't tell what the change is. Maybe it's you. It’s the process of reducing impurities. In other words, if it’s a hundred times, do I need to fold it and beat it again until it’s done a hundred times?”
The senior said: "The so-called hundred forgings do not mean that it must be forged a hundred times, but that it must be purified to a certain level. The meaning of a hundred forgings is to have as few impurities as possible inside it. A piece of metal with almost no impurities is It can be regarded as a hundred forgings. That’s why it’s called a hundred forgings and purifications.”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly said: “Then I understand, thank you, senior. I like to focus on it. It feels wonderful to focus on the changes in the metal."
The senior gave him a thumbs up and said: "Not bad, not bad. Looking at the way you were focused before, I thought you were a genius. A good candidate for learning blacksmithing. Welcome to join the blacksmithing association." As he said this, he extended his broad palm to Lan Xuanyu.
"Can you join now?" Lan Xuanyu looked at him in surprise.
The senior chuckled, "Of course! What's the difficulty in this? Let me meet you. My name is Yang Yingming. Everyone calls me Brother Yingming. You can also call me that."
" Hello brother Yingming," Lan Xuanyu shouted quickly.
Yang Yingming said: "Everyone joins the association because they like forging. Therefore, if you want to join, one criterion is your love for forging. Since you think you like it, you can join directly. And in the future, you can become What kind of blacksmith you are depends on how much you pay for forging. Forging is the most fundamental part of making Doukai. If the metal is not good enough, it will be useless no matter how good it is. So, we are the root of Doukai. Work hard, and if the metal you forge is good enough, you can still sell it, and it can be regarded as a way to make money."
Listening to his story, forging seems to have all the benefits and no harm, but Lan Xuan. Yu still felt something was wrong and asked tentatively: "Senior, does the metal we use when forging, especially the metal we use during practice, come from the association?"
Yang Yingming's face changed, " How is that possible? The college encourages self-reliance, so you can naturally find your own way. You can use badges at the exchange office to start with. Then you have to hire a teacher to teach you. For a novice like you, it's most cost-effective to hire a senior like us. I'm already a level three blacksmith and can teach you a thousand forgings, and it's cheap. You take three classes, each time for more than an hour. What do you think?”
Lan Xuanyu looked at him dumbfounded and said, "Not only do you have to pay for metal, but you also have to pay to learn blacksmithing?"
Yang Yingming snorted, "Of course, what do you think? All sub-professions cost money to learn. Our blacksmithing side has relatively cheap tuition, while design and production are a little more difficult, but the material cost for designers is the lowest. It’s just drawings. We can use ordinary metals to practice. We are miserable and can only use rare metals to practice forging, otherwise we will never master the properties of rare metals.”
The corner of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. , no wonder this man joined the Blacksmiths Association without hesitation. It seems that the association is a bit of a trap! In Shrek Academy, it is indeed difficult to move forward without a badge.
