The first half of this book on basic forging records is all about reasoning. Zhou Tianyi was very fascinated by it. He vaguely felt that this book was not about explaining the art of weapon forging, but also contained martial arts experience. After reading through it,

It gave Zhou Tianyi a little more understanding of the application of various martial arts.

I turned to the second half of the book and only a few words were written on it - Practical Operations.

Then there are some pictures and the forging method.

"Melted in fire, forged into shape, hammered all over, only to see real gold."

"Maybe there are differences due to wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. To build a peerless blade, you need the right time, right place, and the right people."

"The melting of the demon core is important because the attributes complement each other, wind and fire, water and ice, thunder and fire, earth and metal..."

"For example, if the fusion is chaotic, nine out of ten will be difficult to form, eight out of ten will be difficult to melt, nine out of ten will be difficult to channel, nine out of ten will be easily worn out, and nine out of ten will be easily lost.

, can be used as an ordinary weapon."

"However, one in a million may be able to reverse the path of heaven, far surpassing the same level, and cannot be found except by the wise and brave!"

…

After reading this book, Zhou Tianyi felt dizzy. Just like Zhang Fenghua said, this book is really obscure and difficult to understand. Although it does only have basic knowledge of forging, many things can be summarized in a simple sentence.

Zhou Tianyi made as many as eight hundred weapons from animal bones, if not a thousand. Reading these words today is still like reading a heavenly book.

Thinking of what Zhang Fenghua said to him, Zhou Tianyi walked to area A8 and picked up an introduction to blacksmithing.

The text in this book is much simpler. It is not in plain language, but also very detailed, including how to control fire, how to beat, and how much force to use. It can be said to be a nanny-style teaching.

Zhou Tianyi finished reading it in an hour, and then his hands started to itch.

"It's said in the book that true knowledge comes from practice. It's not enough to just watch and practice. You have to find a place to practice."

Looking around again, there was no student coming to read, so Zhou Tianyi immediately slipped out.

Since there is a blacksmithing teaching class, the school naturally also sells blacksmithing tools.

After spending eight hundred horses to buy a set of the most advanced forging tools, Zhou Tianyi began to look for a suitable place.

He first came to an abandoned teaching building, but after looking around, he finally rejected it. If there was some smoke in this place, he would be seen.

However, he still placed some of his things in a room on the top floor. After all, there are many limitations in the library.

After some searching, Zhou Tianyi finally came to the back of the college.

After lighting the furnace, Zhou Tianyi poured all the animal bones as hard as steel into the crucible.

This is also the first step in forging, extracting the essence from the animal bones.

When Zhou Tianyi was forging in the past, because there was no suitable ore, he would directly refine the bones into the shape of weapons. Now that he wants to refining it in a formal way, he naturally buys a lot of primary ores.

Seeing the animal bones turning red in the crucible, Zhou Tianyi immediately threw the ores in.

These are the bones of elementary monsters, which do not contain much essence, and are considered dead without the source of their spiritual energy, so the essence inside was quickly extracted.

As Zhou Tianyi increased his firepower, the essence in the animal bones began to fuse with the ores.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tianyi felt happy. As soon as the essence and ore began to merge, he had completed the first step.

As time passed, the fusion of the ore and essence became more complete. Seeing that the fire was almost done, Zhou Tianyi poured the fused liquid into the mold.

The mold is not that of a weapon, but a cylinder.

After the hot liquid was poured in, a puff of black smoke immediately came out of the mold, and then Zhou Tianyi put the mold into the prepared water.

Phew~!

Even across the mold, the basin of water boiled instantly.

After a while, the mold was taken out and smashed, and the solidified cylindrical blank inside was exposed.

This thing is the necessary item for forging weapons-spiritual blank.

The spiritual blank is made of ore as the main body, and then fused with the essence. It can be fused to form the spiritual blank. Then, as long as the spiritual blank is forged into shape, it can become a weapon.

Zhou Tianyi's things are all made of low-level items. Naturally, they are also low-level spiritual blanks. The forged items can only be used as ordinary weapons. They can be used against ordinary beasts. If they are used against elementary or intermediate monsters, they may not even be used.

The defense cannot be broken.

Forging weapons requires a special furnace and forging platform, as well as a water source, which is obviously not suitable here.

So Zhou Tianyi took out some animal bones and ores and threw them into the crucible, preparing to forge more spiritual blanks, and then go to the school's forging bench to try it out.

However, this time after he threw the animal bones and ores in, he was no longer so lucky. As soon as the animal bones melted, the two essences collided with the crucible and immediately spurted out a ball of flame, and all the ores and animal bones were sprayed out.

came out.

Countless bolides fell down, frightening Zhou Tianyi into hiding.

Fortunately, this is a barren mountain and there is nothing combustible. Otherwise, a fire would have to start.

Looking at the mess around him, Zhou Tianyi began to think deeply.

"Why did it explode just now? Is it because I threw the bones of the Shadow Wolf and the Red Fire Fox into it at the same time?"

"Aren't you saying that they are colluding with each other? Why are these two still at odds with each other?"

Lighting the crucible again, Zhou Tianyi once again threw in the bones of two different beasts.

The ending is still the same, a ball of flames erupts, and meteors and fire showers appear again.

After the second failure, Zhou Tianyi started to read the book, and soon he found the reason.

"Because the melting temperatures of two different animal bones are different, they need to be fused and extracted separately, and then the extracted essence is fused into the ore respectively, and finally the ore is fused."

"Damn, my steps are too big and I'm tearing my balls."

Zhou Tianyi closed the book and started the fourth experiment.

This time he did not dare to fuse two animal bones, but only one kind of animal bone.

However, it is unlucky for people to have a toothache even after taking a sip of cold water.

During the fourth experiment, the animal bones and iron ore had just merged. A gust of wind blew over, and the surrounding sand and dust were blown into the crucible. When Zhou Tianyi took out the spiritual blank, the spiritual spirit in the spiritual blank had already

Destroyed.

Zhou Tianyi is not discouraged. Anyway, he has plenty of ores and animal bones, so he can just take his time.

However, my luck was not good the fifth time. During the fusion, I was a little impatient and poured the solution into the blank before the essence was completely fused with the ore. All the essence was lost and the blank was directly turned into scrap iron.

The sixth time, Zhou Tianyi wanted to simply fuse for a longer time. However, this time, as time went on, the essence was directly evaporated in the crucible, so that the liquid from the melted ore directly stuck to the crucible. This new

The crucible I bought was immediately discarded.

Seeing the high-end crucible he bought for 400 horses twisting and deforming like this, Zhou Tianyi wanted to cry without tears.

"Next time I'd better buy the cheapest one. I won't feel bad if it breaks."
