Chapter 82 Qinghong Sword (please read it!)
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qing beat the prototype of the forged long sword until it was smooth and flat, and the shape of a sword could already be seen.
The long-term high-temperature forging made the entire black gold long sword extremely hot, just enough to be quenched.
It is worth mentioning that quenching is divided into two methods, one is the most common water quenching method, and the other is the less common oil quenching method.
The former cools down faster, but requires repeated heating and tempering in order to increase the rigidity of the weapon.
However, considering that it is extremely difficult to heat ink gold, Li Qing chose the oil extraction method, so that the entire ink gold long sword can be tempered at one time.
He picked up the fire tongs and clamped the ink-gold sword that had been calcined in the stove again, and slowly immersed one of the blades in the cold oil that had been prepared.
Chi!
As soon as it touched the surface, the temperature of the oil began to rise slowly, and bubbles rolled out.
Different from the water quenching method, there is no steaming white steam in oil quenching, but only bubbles rising up one after another.
After waiting for a moment, Li Qing lifted the Mojin Sword again and began to temper the other edge of the long sword again.
The oil extraction method requires patience, because the cooling rate will be relatively slow, and the cutting surface needs to be repeatedly soaked.
It was soaked again and again, and when the sharp edges on both sides of the Mojin sword gradually cooled down, circles of fine patterns like waves appeared.
This is the unique performance of ink gold after it cools down in oil. Each wavy pattern represents a tempering.
Li Qing is like an old hunter in the mountains and forests, very patient. He treats this long sword like a piece of art.
At this time, the two sharp edges of the long sword have cooled down, but the middle blade is still hot.
It is the generation of this temperature difference that makes the edge of a sword harder and sharper.
Then, he inserted the entire long sword into the oil. After the sword body was completely immersed in the oil, the overall temperature began to drop again.
For a long time, until the oil stopped boiling bubbles upward, Li Qing finally pulled out the sword.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
The body of the sword had a shiny sheen, and the oil at the tip continued to drip into the oil barrel.
“This Green Rainbow Sword is probably one of the best among the peerless magic weapons in the entire martial arts world.”
Li Qing looked at this approaching sword with burning eyes. After completing the Qinghong Sword, he picked up a towel and wiped off the oil layer on the sword.
After the oil layer faded away, the Qinghong Sword still had a black luster. This was due to the material of the ink gold itself.
Buzz!
Li Qing habitually flicked the sword with his fingers, and a clear chant sounded.
What a sword!
The next step is to sharpen the blade and make the hilt. Because it is made of ink gold, polishing the blade is destined to be an extremely time-consuming task.
So Li Qing first planned to make the hilt of the sword so that he could hold the hilt more smoothly while polishing it.
There is no need to worry about the style of the hilt. Li Qing directly refers to the hilt of the original Qinghong Sword, but slightly changed the material.
The material of the sword hilt is a combination of rosewood and brass, which not only increases the comfort of the grip, but also ensures the sturdiness of the sword hilt.
Li Qing concentrated on slowly carving a piece of rosewood into the shape of the sword hilt, leaving a special groove at the junction with the long sword. This is the fusion of brass and long sword. part.
His movements were meticulous. When the entire golden sword body was embedded into the hilt, it was as if a tenon and tenon structure had been completed.
The entire process was seamless, leaving no flaws!
The hilt of the sword was very comfortable to hold, and Li Qing was satisfied with carving some patterns on it. The style was the same as the hilt of the original Qinghong Sword.
"Huh, all that's left now is polishing and sharpening." Li Qing let out a sigh of relief. At this point, the Qinghong Sword is extremely close to completion.
As expected by Li Qing, polishing is indeed an extremely time-consuming task.
It took him a full thirteen days before he finished sharpening the Qinghong Sword.
Buzz!
Li Qing held the handle with one hand and held the Qinghong Sword horizontally in front of his eyes. The cold light at the edge flashed quickly from his eyes.
[Successfully refining a high-quality mortal weapon: Qinghong Sword will reward you with three years of life! 】Three years!
Li Qing hurriedly looked at his remaining lifespan. The number on it changed from 146 to 149!
Shouyuan +3!
Including the year spent in the polar night world, he is almost nineteen years old now, but his remaining lifespan has not decreased but increased, and he still has nearly one hundred and fifty years left. live.
"All this is due to my long-term persistence in refining weapons! Sure enough, hard work changes life, this sentence is really not just a lie!"
Li Qing's face was filled with a satisfied smile, If he does nothing now, he can live to be close to one hundred and seventy years old.
If nothing else, even if a pig lives for such a long time, it should become a sperm!
You have to know that a feudal dynasty can last for two or three hundred years, which is pretty good.
To put it bluntly, Li Qing felt that it was extremely possible that he might be able to witness the decline of the Maple Kingdom.
Li Qing shook his head and adjusted his thoughts back. He stroked the completed long sword and thought in his heart:
"It seems that weapons forged using such special materials are indeed highly rated. Gao, it is also a high-quality mortal weapon, and it actually increased his life span by three years."
Well, it seems that his decision to choose the piece of meteorite was not wrong.
Then, Li Qing held a sword in one hand and slashed hard at a piece of armor in his shop.
Whoosh!
The sword light flashed away, and without even seeing the shadow of the sword itself clearly, a neat and smooth crack was carved out of the armor.
Iron is like clay, but that’s all.
"Invincible, if this sword falls into the hands of a martial arts master, I am afraid that I will truly become invincible in the world, right?"
A peerless magic weapon, for a warrior How much the improvement has been can be seen from the armor that was cut open just now.
A few days later, Kaedeemon Qian Hong finally received a response.
After waiting for a whole month, the sword she wanted was finally forged!
A strong sense of surprise surged out of her heart, followed by disbelief, and she even felt that she might be dreaming.
Yes, a peerless magic weapon that belongs to her. She has only thought about this situation in her dreams.
Without any hesitation, she rushed to Chiming Street as quickly as possible.
Looking at the open door of the blacksmith shop in front of her, Qian Hong paused in her steps. She pursed her lips and walked in lightly.
All she saw was a jet black, shiny, slender straight sword, presented in front of her without any cover-up.
The hilt still had a familiar style, and even the pattern was the same, but the cold light reflected from the blade was very clear to her even before she had used it. This was definitely a magic weapon. Peerless magic weapon!
Logically speaking, if one has practiced martial arts to the level of inner strength, it is basically impossible to have hand tremors.
However, Qian Hong's hand stretched out to touch the hilt of the sword could not help but tremble slightly, feeling both excited and a little panicked.
Her hands seemed to be born to hold a sword. They were slender and delicate. Although her skin was not fair, it showed a healthy wheat color.
When this hand touched the hilt of the sword, her whole body froze in place as if she was electrocuted.
After a long time, she tightened her slender fingers on the rosewood handle of the Qinghong Sword.
“What a sword!”
