C33 The Art of Forging
C33 The Art of Forging
The white-haired and child-like old man in front of them was Elder Hee. It was said that he had lived for more than three hundred years. He had long retired to break through to a higher realm and no longer cared about the matters of the sect. Lee Feng and Elder Zhao were only fortunate enough to meet with the Sect Master after becoming elders of the sect.
"Elder Hee!"
Lee Feng and Elder Zhao bowed respectfully from the bottom of their hearts. An expert like Elder Hee was the true guardian of the sect. With these protectors, the Snow Sword Sect would be able to stand tall in Ice Snow Domain. Even the Sect Master had to consider itself a junior when it saw Elder Hee.
Elder Hee said to Lee Feng, "I have seen everything that happened just now. The rules of the sect cannot be broken. You can withdraw first. When the Sect Master returns, I will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation."
Lee Feng looked at Wang Hao hatefully and sighed in his heart. Zhao Wujian was blocking his way. He could still fight. At most, both of them would be severely injured, but when Elder Hee appeared, he had to listen to him.
Putting aside the status of the sect, Lee Feng simply couldn't see through Elder Hee's realm. If he insisted on fighting, he would definitely not end up well.
"Yes!" Even if Lee Feng was unwilling, he could only retreat.
After Lee Feng left, Elder Hee walked to Wang Hao and slowly said, "You could have just wounded him and not killed him, but why do you still question killing Lee Yuan? Don't you know how to forgive others? "
Elder Hee's words carried a questioning tone. Zhao Wujian looked at Wang Hao with concern. One should know that Elder Hee was not like Lee Feng, who was restricted by the sect rules. In Snow Sword Sect, Elder Hee's status was above the sect rules!
Zhao Muer hastily gave Wang Hao a look, hoping that he would consider his words carefully and not anger Elder Hee!
Wang Hao faced Elder Hee face to face, and his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. "If I don't kill Lee Yuan, will Lee Yuan not kill me? What's the difference between being sympathetic and committing suicide? If the other party has the path of seeking death, I must kill him!"
Elder Hee stared at Wang Hao's eyes. Wang Hao did not back down. The two of them stared at each other for a long time.
"Hahahahaha! Interesting kid! I like it!" Elder Hee suddenly laughed loudly, making Zhao Muer who was at the side not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Kid, I have something to talk to you about. Come with me!"
After saying that, Elder Hee grabbed Wang Hao. Both of them disappeared in a flash.
"Grandpa..." Zhao Muer was still a little worried. Elder Zhao comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry. Elder Hee did not blame Wang Hao. He is fine now."
In the blink of an eye, Wang Hao found himself in a strange room. He was secretly shocked. Such a teleportation skill. Elder Hee's cultivation base was really deep. It was hard to predict!
Wang Hao carefully observed his surroundings and found that the room he was in... It was actually a forging room, and there were all sorts of exquisite Profound Artifacts displayed on the walls. And in the center of the room, there was a huge forging furnace made of some unknown metal.
"Elder Hee, may I know why you are looking for this kid?"
Elder Hee gestured for Wang Hao to sit down. He took a cup of tea from the forging furnace and took a sip.
"Let me have a look at the sword you just used."
Wang Hao did not understand. Why would a Yellow Rank Grade Six Profound Artifact cause Elder Hee to be curious? He took out the Shocking Sound Sword and handed it to Elder Hee.
Elder Hee took the Shocking Sound Sword and carefully observed it. He gently stroked the sword with his hand and occasionally tapped the tip of his finger to listen to the vibrating sound of the sword.
The longer he observed, the more serious Elder Hee's expression became. Wang Hao even saw respect and admiration in his eyes.
Elder Hee observed for half an hour. Wang Hao could only wait quietly from the side. Finally, Elder Hee took a deep breath and looked away from the Shocking Sound Sword.
"Good sword! Good sword!"
Elder Hee asked anxiously, "Kid, do you know who forged this sword?"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment. He had bought the Shocking Sound Sword from the shopping center system, and there was no creator. He could not tell Elder Hee that the sword was made by the system using the gaming terms in his previous life.
Regardless of whether others could understand the existence of the system or not, he could not tell anyone about the existence of the system.
"Elder Hee, this sword was bought by a pawn shop in Snow Phoenix City before I joined the sect. The waiter told me that the owner of this sword had not been redeemed and the grade was not high. That's why he sold it to me at a low price."
After hearing this, Elder Hee said with regret, "I have been obsessed with forging for more than a hundred years, but I have never seen such an exquisite forging technique. The person who forged this sword must be at the grandmaster level. It is truly regrettable that I cannot ask for guidance."
Elder Hee paused and changed his tone, "Kid, I really like this sword. How about you sell it to me? I can give you 100,000 yuan stones."
"100,000 yuan stones!" Wang Hao took a deep breath. He was shocked. The Shocking Sound Sword he bought with 600 yuan stones had been sold for more than 100 times its original value!
Wang Hao quickly understood. The Shocking Sound Sword itself was not worth this price, but the Artifact Refining Hand technique it contained was worth thousands of Yuan. After calming down, Wang Hao gently shook his head.
Elder Hee was a little unhappy, "You don't even want to sell it for 100,000 Yuan Stones? Kid, you are a little greedy."
Wang Hao shook his head, "It's just a Yellow Rank Profound Artifact. If Elder Hee likes it, just take it."
When he heard Wang Hao's words, Elder Hee was a little surprised, but he rejected Wang Hao's words. "I don't like to take advantage of junior. Since you don't want Primary Stones... Then you can choose a Profound Artifact from me. Although the Profound Artifact I forge is not as exquisite as the forging technique of the sword, however, its grade is high, so it should be more suitable for you. "
It was not that Wang Hao did not like Primary Stones. On the contrary, he was in urgent need of Primary Stones. With Primary Stones, he could buy a lot of things from the shopping mall's system.
The Profound Artifact hanging in the room were all extraordinary. There were even a few Profound Rank Profound Artifacts that Wang Hao urgently needed. However, Wang Hao resisted the temptation, as he had his own ideas.
No matter how good the Profound Artifact was, it wasn't as good as a soul item!
Only the Profound Artifact that resonated with his bloodline could be considered a soul item. Just like the soul item Lee Yuan used, other people only used a Yellow Rank Profound Artifact. But in its hands, the power it displayed... It was even more powerful than an ordinary Profound Rank Profound Artifact!
Wang Hao already had a soul item design scroll, but in order to create a soul item, Wang Hao needed four more things - top-grade black iron, Dragon Blood Stone, Soul Locking Stone, and a beginner Artifact Refining Technique level three!
There would always be a day when the materials were gathered, but the Artifact Refining Technique had to be mastered by Wang Hao himself. When he knew Elder Hee knew how to craft, he thought of something.
Wang Hao wanted to open the profession system!
"Elder Hee, I don't want your Profound Artifact either. I want to learn how to craft weapons from you!"
"Learn artifact forging from me?" Wang Hao's request made Elder Hee laugh. "Kid, do you know that this Artifact Refining Technique doesn't seem like a martial skill? If you work hard, you will eventually learn it. Forging a Profound Artifact requires more than a hundred steps. You can't make any mistakes during the forging process. This requires a great amount of talent! "
"I saw your battle with Lee Yuan. Your talent in the Sword Dao... I'm afraid that you are the best in the entire Ice Snow Domain. You can be like Zhao Wujian. Studying the Sword Dao wholeheartedly, your future achievements will be limitless! Why do you need to learn the Artifact Refining Technique to distract your energy?"
Wang Hao did not shrink back at all." Elder Hee, please teach me the Artifact Refining Technique! "
Elder Hee shook his head." You really won't turn back until you run into a mountain. Forget it. I can teach you a little. If you really have the talent to refine weapons, why not teach me everything you know? "
After saying that, Elder Hee stood up and went to the forging table. There was an eight-edged iron hammer on the forging table. Elder Hee picked up the hammer and placed another piece of black iron ore on the forging table.
"Watch carefully. What I will teach you next is called the Eighteen Hammers of Dongling. I will only demonstrate it once for you. Watch carefully!"
Wang Hao widened his eyes and stared at the hammer in Elder Hee's hand. He saw that Elder Hee's Qi was condensed and he smashed the hammer down like Mount Tai!
"Bang!"
The sound of heavy impact echoed in the room. Wang Hao suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the black iron ore under the hammer in disbelief.
The strength Elder Hee used in this hammer strike, not to mention a small piece of ore, even a forged top grade black iron would be smashed into pieces. However, even when the hammer was lifted, the ore did not shatter. Instead, it trembled slightly and fragments fell off.
Wang Hao could clearly see that the fragments that fell off were the impurities contained in the ore. When all the impurities were removed, the ore would also become the purest black iron.
"Bang!" The second hammer fell, and the sound of the hammer fell directly into Wang Hao's heart. His heart trembled, and his blood boiled.
"Bang!"
"Bang! '"
...
Eighteen hammer strikes in a row. The sound of the hammer was like a marching drum on the battlefield, shocking everyone. Wang Hao had never thought that an ordinary hammer could produce such a shocking sound.
Elder Hee put down the hammer, took a sip of tea from a teacup, then turned around and left, leaving Wang Hao who was still in deep thought.
"If you can learn it within a day, I will teach you how to forge weapons!"
After Elder Hee left for a long time, Wang Hao finally woke up. He let out a breath of foul air. His mind had been replaying every detail of Elder Hee when he used the hammer. Now he finally remembered everything.
"What a powerful hammer technique! The difficulty of cultivating it is no less than a Profound Rank Grade One's martial skill!"
Wang Hao came to the forging table and placed the perfect iron base that Elder Hee had just struck to the side. He then took out a new ore and picked up the hammer.
The hammer used for forging was made from some unknown material, and it weighed several thousand kilograms. Wang Hao had to pour his Yuan energy into it before he could barely lift it.
"Bang!"
The hammer smashed down heavily. Wang Hao successfully swung the first hammer, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
He lifted the hammer again, and saw that the ore on the forging table had been shattered. Wang Hao sighed. This forging technique was truly difficult to learn!
"Again!"
Wang Hao was not someone who would give up easily. Once he set his goal, he would bravely advance forward and never shrink back!
"Bang!"
"Again!"
"Boom!"
"Again!"
"Boom!"
"Again!"
...
Hammer sounds kept coming from inside the room. Outside the room, Elder Hee was leisurely holding a teacup, using the Essence Energy Detection to observe Wang Hao's every move.
Elder Hee had a smile on his face, "That hammer of mine consumes a lot of Yuan energy. With this kid's realm... I'm afraid that swinging ten hammers will consume up all of his Yuan energy. I'll teach him the hammer technique. It was also extremely difficult to learn. While practicing the hammer technique, he also had to cultivate to recover his Yuan energy. Even the best weapon refining genius might not be able to do it in a day's time. Master it. "
"Kid, don't blame me for being ruthless. You focus on the path of the Sword Dao and your future is limitless. It's not like you can't surpass the hermits of our sects. You should bite more than you can chew. This can be considered as a warning to you!"
