Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

He had already asked the teacher about this beforehand. The teacher gave him this heavy ruler, and how to deal with it was entirely up to Xiao Huohuo.

Perhaps because of the weapon, he would experience far fewer arduous trials, but he believed in his perseverance…

Moreover, having a sword but not using it is one thing, and having no sword to use is another.

"Don't rush to thank me. Reforging this weapon requires extremely precious materials, and even I don't have many."

Reforging a weapon isn't as simple as just hammering it around. You have the main material, but you still lack other materials to assist you.

Only in this way can its potential be fully realized.

"What materials are needed?"

Xiao Huohuo asked instinctively.

"...You wouldn't understand even if I told you, this place doesn't exist."

Yun Li shook her head. Xiao Huohuo didn't have any valuable materials that she coveted. The fighting techniques others desired, like the Burning Annihilation Technique, held little allure for her.

He also couldn't produce the materials needed to forge the sword.

"That……"

These words made Xiao Huohuo frown slightly. He naturally knew that to forge a powerful weapon, the materials required would be extremely precious. But wouldn't that mean there was no way to do it in the short term?

However, Yun Li's voice the next moment made Xiao Huohuo feel relieved.

"Alright, I can help provide these ingredients, but in return, I want fifty, no, a hundred skewers that taste just as good as these!"

Yun Li didn't expect him to come up with suitable materials; the ones she could find were extremely rare in the entire Monster Mountain Range.

After thinking it over, he decided to let Xiao Huohuo treat him to some skewers as a reward. Xiao Huohuo's skewer-making skills were no worse than his alchemy skills.

She quite liked it.

"Alright, don't even mention a hundred strings. As long as you can forge a satisfactory greatsword, I'll take care of all your future strings."

Upon hearing Yun Li's request, Xiao Huohuo agreed almost without hesitation. Compared to a top-tier divine weapon, what was feeding Yun Li some sweets?

"That's not necessary..."

Yun Li shook her head. She wouldn't stay here forever. After a while, she would part ways with him, and she wasn't sure when they would meet again.

And for some reason, this conversation reminded her of someone else.

Zhiyan...

After quickly finishing the remaining skewers in a few bites, Yun Li didn't waste any time and directly asked Xiao Huohuo for the heavy ruler.

Then, having found a suitable location, they prepared to begin forging the swords directly.

Although there is no satisfactory flame or the tools needed to forge the sword, it should not be a big problem to completely reforge the sword blank.

Should I leave here?

Seeing Yun Li take out one sword-forging tool after another, Xiao Huohuo was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that she could forge swords right here.

But thinking of what the teacher said, perhaps forging a sword is like refining an elixir.

To others, the alchemy cauldron is extremely important, but to a true master alchemist, the key lies in one's own abilities and control over the flames.

Other external things are not as important as you might think.

The same principle applies to Yunli's sword forging in front of us, right?

"up to you……"

Yun Li simply examined the heavy ruler in her hand, looking down without glancing at Xiao Huohuo beside her, and casually replied.

She didn't care if others stole her sword-making skills. If it were that easy to steal someone's skills, then there would be more than just a few top craftsmen on the Immortal Ship.

Having received Yun Li's reply, Xiao Huohuo did not avoid the question.

Although he was already one of the few alchemists on the mainland, he was also very interested in Yun Li's sword-forging skills.

This is definitely a discipline no less important than alchemy, but I don't know if I have the talent for it. Both require manipulating fire, so theoretically they might have some similarities, right?

At the very least, control over the flame is required.

Before long, Yun Li had a pretty good grasp of the material and temperament of the heavy ruler, so she stopped wasting time and directly took out a strange flame!

Destroy the alien matter...

Since there is no suitable flame, she has to use this as a substitute for now.

To control the burning of the destructive heterogeneous sword blank, she must control the intensity of its burning to prevent it from being completely destroyed by the destructive force, which is extremely demanding for a swordsmith.

Especially since this is not a normal flame; its burning is destructive.

It was only by possessing the memories and experience of Yun Li, the genius swordsmith, that it was able to barely control it.

~~~~~

16

Chapter 16 is about the sand scattered from the body of the Amber King.

(Teacher, what kind of flame is that? Why do I feel so uncomfortable and unwell when I look at it?)

After Yun Li took out that destructive anomaly, Xiao Huohuo's body instantly broke out in goosebumps, as if he felt an extreme terror.

That flame was like the manifestation of the end of all things.

(It's like fire but not fire, I'm not sure either, but it's not some kind of beast fire, nor should it be a strange fire, it seems... it's simply a manifestation of the rules of destruction...)

The herbalist also noticed the flame in Yun Li's hand and couldn't understand its existence either.

Its danger is undoubtedly greater than that of most strange flames; it is less a flame and more a manifestation of the rules of destruction.

(To use such dangerous flames to forge weapons... either they are highly skilled and daring, or they are just fearless.)

(If one is not careful, not only will the weapon materials be destroyed, but the swordsmith himself may also not survive.)

Of course, the exact situation of the flames was uncertain, but the medicine master had a rough idea of ​​what was going on based on his experience.

"..."

Listening to the teacher's explanation, Xiao Huohuo did not speak again. He just stood there quietly watching Yun Li forge the sword, while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings so as not to disturb the girl in front of him.

Especially those magical beasts, you never know when they might appear...

Forging in such a dangerous place, and using such dangerous flames, Yun Li's actions can be described as somewhat risky.

Yun Li was unaware of what Xiao Huohuo and his apprentice were thinking; her attention was completely focused on forging the sword.

However, she wasn't afraid of any magical beasts disturbing her. Even if they did appear, they wouldn't affect her. They... would be dead before they even got close to her.

After feeling that the sword blank was almost ready, Yun Li took out a huge iron hammer and placed the sword blank on the prepared table for special hammering.

After thinking for a few seconds, the girl took out a small handful of yellow crystal sand. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to give the weapon an extraordinary performance.

After slightly disrupting its structure with flames, Yun Li began to use her unique forging techniques to integrate it into the sword blank...

(Little guy, you're in luck.)

Noticing what Yun Li took out, Yao Lao suddenly felt envious of his apprentice, who was able to know such a person even in the Monster Mountain Range.

More importantly, he won her favor by using some spiritual fruits and received such a generous reward.

(Teacher, what are you saying?)

While keeping a close watch on the surrounding magical beasts and observing Yun Li forging the sword, Xiao Huohuo heard her teacher's voice and was a little confused.

(The thing that little girl took out was extraordinary. Although I couldn't see through it, it seemed to contain a great miracle.)

(That's an extremely rare substance, even on the entire Douhuo Continent, and it's actually been directly incorporated into the heavy ruler you were forged.)

Such effort and reward is something Yao Lao has never encountered before.

(Is that thing really that valuable?)

Xiao Huohuo's eyes widened. He had never imagined that the crystal sand Yun Li had taken out would be something precious.

He never expected it to be so precious, even his teacher was surprised. This made him even more eager for the weapon that Yun Li had forged for him, and he also remembered this kindness...

"Finally, I've successfully integrated..."

Yun Li wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at the weapon that was about to take shape, feeling incredibly excited, wondering what level it would reach.

To be honest, Yun Li didn't use any purple-quality materials, but these things were related to the Star God.

Yun Li initially did not intend to use this material, but rather the material for the Destruction Legion. However, during the forging process, she discovered that there was a material that was more suitable for it.

In other words... scattered stardust!

This item is only green quality in the game, and she only gets blue items when she draws it, so there are quite a few of them. But that doesn't mean it's ordinary; on the contrary, it's more valuable than some purple quality items.

Because it was the sand that fell from the body of the Amber King when he swung his hammer.

It is important to know that Pierpoint guarded Cripper's celestial orbit without ceasing, waiting for a miracle that would occur once every few decades or even more than a hundred years: a shower of stardust that would fly up as the giant hammer fell.

To the King of Amber, it is but a speck of dust; but to others, each grain of sand holds the essence of preservation.

At this moment, the essence of Amber King's preservation was completely integrated into the reforged heavy ruler through Yun Li's hammer blows.

Once the weapon was fully formed, Yun Li immediately placed it into the prepared earth milk. The greatsword's terrifying heat instantly evaporated the entire vat of earth milk, but after evaporation, it cooled down.

Holding this brand-new greatsword in its new form, it not only retained its important training benefits for Xiao Huohuo, but actually became even more powerful.

Like the previous scimitar, this is not its final form, and it also possesses strong growth potential.

However, its owner needs to activate the protective power it contains; otherwise, it cannot unleash its full power.

"System, is this weapon up to standard?"

Holding the heavy sword, Yun Li practiced with it and discovered its immense potential. It could not only influence the power of the earth beneath her feet, but also control gravity.

Whether it's using gravity to train one's physique or to exert gravity pressure on the enemy.

More importantly, once its internal protective power is activated, it is enough to make its owner invincible to a certain extent.

It cannot be broken without a force dozens of times greater than one's own.

Even so, it still has room to grow...

So Yun Li inquired about the system's appraisal results. This heavy sword definitely met the criteria for a hidden sword. As long as Xiao Huo Huo used it to make a name for himself, his progress in clearing the game would definitely increase significantly.
