After the world collapsed

Chapter 114: Someone Comes from the Artifact Refining Workshop

Today is the day when Mr. Huang Long competes with Gong Yeting of the Nine Swords Sect to forge swords. Early in the morning, Zhang Sheng who came to Jianshan obviously felt that there were a lot more people.

When he arrived at the Heicheng Sword Furnace, the old man was still sound asleep, looking at the still burning kiln, Zhang Sheng hurriedly woke him up.

Hei Cheng drank a lot yesterday, otherwise he would have forgotten such an important matter.

After the old man was shaken awake, he got up and turned off the kiln, opened the windows and doors, and the whole hall was steaming with heat, which was sucked away along the passage in the middle of the hall. .

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter if the mold is a bit overheated." He looked at the condition of the mold and was very satisfied, then he remembered what day it was today and immediately asked: "Is it time for a competition today?" ?”

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Many people have already gathered at the Huanglong Sword Stove, and everything has been carried out from the Stove, and we will wait for Gongyeting to arrive."

He recounted the scene he saw in the future.

"Let's go, let's go over there first."

With the mold, it is only a matter of time before the knife is cast, and there is no rush.

……

"Look, the Nine Swordsmen are here..."

The onlookers in front of the Huanglong Sword Stove immediately took the initiative to disperse, Gongyeting walked in the front, followed by two tall guards.

He walked to the other side of the sword furnace, took out an iron anchor from the Qiankun bag and threw it on the ground.

The iron anchor fell on the lawn and immediately sank into a big hole, and then he took out a wicker chair and sat on it leisurely.With such a leisurely expression, it seems that he is very confident in himself.

Mr. Huang Long finally came out from behind the screen, followed by the boy with curly hair. The latter's eyes immediately became sharper when he saw Gongyeting sitting opposite him on the wicker chair.

"I wonder how Mr. Huang Long's preparations are going?" Gong Yeting got up and asked.

"Don't bother your Excellency." Mr. Huang Long replied with his hands behind his back, and his momentum was not inferior to the domineering immortal cultivator in front of him.

Gong Yeting sneered, turned his right hand, and a light blue fine stone appeared in his hand.

The onlookers immediately straightened their necks and focused their gazes.

"This is……"

"It's the Essence Essence Stone!"

Osmosis Essence Stone?Zhang Sheng looked at Heicheng beside him.

The latter also brightened his eyes, and then explained: "Well...Looking at this color, it should be an excellent casting material formed by the infiltration of vitality into the top-grade blue water essence."

Blue Water Essence Stone is one of the finest stones in the Qianyuan Realm, and once the Blue Water Essence Stone infiltrates with natural vitality, its strength will increase to a higher level.

Essence stones are different from spirit stone veins, the hardness of essence stones is many times stronger than that of spirit stone veins, vitality is not a corrosive thing, naturally nothing will invade, it will just banish the aura in the veins.

There are very few essence stones infiltrated with vitality like those produced by Gongyeting. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a manual work, which consumes more than several times the manpower and financial resources.

"However, did he mean to forge the iron anchor by taking it out?" Hei Cheng looked at the iron anchor in front of Gongyeting, and said somewhat differently.

Casting is a method handed down from ancient times to the present, and forging is a method of making utensils that has just been handed down in the world of cultivating immortals in recent years.

Casting and forging are two completely different concepts. The principle of sword casting is to melt the raw material, that is, bronze, and pour it into a mold, which is what Heicheng made in the kiln these two days, and the finished product is obtained after cooling.

The raw material for forging is steel, and the steel is melted to a certain extent and directly hammered into shape.

Jingshi is generally used to add to the molten bronze to enhance the strength of the sword itself.

Refined stone is rarely used in forging, and only a certain amount of carbon powder is added to increase hardness.

These are all the knowledge that Heicheng has popularized to him in the past two days. The old man really dabbles in everything and knows a lot.

The swordsmiths on the sword mountain have always used the casting method. It’s not that they look down on forging, but that forging consumes too much manpower compared to casting. They also don't know the strength and heat, so asking them to change the method is almost like changing careers.

"You are..." Huang Long also noticed something, the opponent wanted to use the new forging method to surpass his traditional forging method in refining weapons.

"That's right, this time I also want to tell you people that forging technology has long been ahead of casting." Gongyeting said as he placed a piece of steel on the iron.

Hearing this, the scene was silent.

What he said is true, although forging requires some effort, it saves a lot of time. Forging is not only mastered by immortal cultivators, but mortals also have mastered forging skills later. bigger and bigger.

The traditional casting was greatly impacted by the new forging method, the reason is very simple, the quality of forged weapons is higher.

Of course, this also varies from person to person and cannot be generalized.

High-quality steel, coupled with top-quality oozing essence stones, and the most advanced forging method, even the swordsmiths watching on the sword mountain felt that it was impossible for Gongyeting to lose.

The little boy behind him took a step forward and took out a huge cauldron out of thin air and placed it in front of Mr. Huang Long.

"Oh? Mr. Huang Long, don't you want to beat my forging method in terms of speed?"

Forging quickly eliminates the process of making molds in casting, which is the difference between forging and casting.

Even for those who are beginners in casting, as long as there is a mold, the raw materials can be poured into the mold after the reasonable allocation of the mold.But forging is different. If you don't fully master forging skills and only swing a hammer, you can't forge steel into the desired shape.

"Can we start..." Mr. Huang Long ignored him, and after the boy set up the crucible, he walked to the front of the crucible and said to himself.

"Wait a moment." Gong Yeting said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words were finished, two carriages drove up one after another, and two people got out of the carriages, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged black-haired man.

Mr. Huang Long recognized these two people at a glance, but he did not expect these two people to come too.

Gongyeting said loudly: "Since it is a competition, there must be a notary. I don't think I need to introduce these two. There should be no one in the room who doesn't know them."

Indeed, Zhang Sheng didn't know them, but Hei Cheng beside him immediately introduced the two in a low voice.

The white-haired old man's name is Jiang Lishan, and the middle-aged man's name is Huo Jin. They are both from the Artifact Refining Workshop of Xianmeng.

Xianmeng?Still care about the refiner?
It seems that the Immortal Alliance is not only concerned with the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation World.

However, it also shows the importance of this competition. Even the people from the Immortal League have been invited to be notarized. It seems that no matter what the result of this competition is, it will quickly spread throughout the Qianyuan Realm in a short period of time.

Only then did Zhang Sheng realize that this was not a simple dispute between factions.

Na Gongyeting used the forging method as an excuse to challenge the casting master, Mr. Huang Long. Not only can he take this opportunity to promote the new forging method, but he can also take the seven-star Longyuan sword handy.

As for the notary of the Xianmeng he invited, it is self-evident which side he prefers.

Mr. Huang Long just saluted these two from a distance, and didn't say much.The white-haired old man was fine, he just smiled, but the middle-aged man named Huo Jin turned dark.

Zhang Sheng also used the Qi Wang technique to detect the two notaries of the Immortal League, both of whom were in the middle stage of foundation establishment.Can't help but secretly said: "This old man is so old, but his cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, so he must have spent all his energy on refining the weapon. It is estimated that his attainments in refining the weapon must be extraordinary."

If Jiang Lishan knew that Zhang Sheng was thinking about him in secret, he would probably be so angry that his beard would fly off.

How many mortals in the world of cultivating immortals, how many lucky people can practice Taoism, and how many of them are suitable for this way?Not everyone has a smooth sailing journey.

Some people can step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, and some people can't even step into the Foundation Establishment Realm in their entire lives. Just that small Foundation Establishment Pill makes many people flinch.

Of course, Zhang Sheng, who "entered" the world of cultivating immortals for the first time, didn't know much about this point, so he only thought so after seeing the white-haired old man.

"This time..." Before Gong Yeting finished speaking, he felt something and immediately looked up to the crowd.

A figure flew towards them quickly, and after a few ups and downs, they came to the field and stopped beside the two of Xianmeng.

Huo Jin stood on the left of the old man Jiang Lishan, and the visitor stood on the right of Jiang Lishan, his figure appeared, his sleeves trembling slightly.

The white-haired old man looked ahead but seemed to be saying to the person next to him: "It turns out that you are a junior of Xiaoyao Sect, so let us two wait."

The old man smiled but didn't smile, and what he said was not in the right shape. Didn't the two of them just arrive?

The visitor was dressed in a green shirt, with fur around his shoulders, and a sword around his waist. His face was like a crown jade, and his eyes were like bright stars. His young age was in stark contrast to the other two.

Zhang Sheng didn't know this person, but listening to the old man's words, it seemed that this person was a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, and his cultivation base was also in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

The young man from the Xiaoyao Sect didn't even pay attention to the old man in white robe, and said directly to Mr. Huang Long, "Mr. Huang Long, you can start now."

After seeing the young man, Mr. Huang Long's serious expression softened a lot, and he nodded immediately after hearing what the other party said.

Gongyeting on the opposite side looked at the young man, but didn't say anything. After all, this is the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect. It's unbearable for the monk to look at the Buddha, so it's better not to provoke him.

The onlookers on the Sword Mountain had their eyes opened today. Although it was rumored that immortal cultivators often came to seek swords on the Sword Mountain, they were also aimed at Mr. Huang Long. These ordinary swordsmiths would never see immortal cultivators.

Not only did I see it today, but I also saw several of them, and even saw the forging method of the immortal cultivator and Mr. Huang Long's superb casting skills with his own eyes.

Mr. Huang Long threw a large amount of copper into the crucible. Under the high temperature, the copper would be melted in a short time.

Then the boy handed him a gray-white fine stone.

"Marble essence?"
