Chapter 10 Refined Sword
From time to time, Tie Jian pulled out a section of sword embryos from the waste pile, and after examining them carefully for a while, he threw some aside casually, while others neatly piled up at his feet.

After a while, he picked out more than [-] pieces from the pile of broken embryos, and then sorted them into three piles.

"Since there is no material available, I can only give you a try." Tie Jian looked at the broken embryo in front of him and muttered to himself.

If there were other sword refiners by his side at this moment, they would naturally shake their heads and even look at it with disdain.

You must know that the original materials contained in the sword embryo have undergone tremendous changes during the refining process.Some of them have even become unrefined in their basic attributes. Using these waste materials to refine magic swords, one can imagine the low success rate.

It's just that the current Tie Jian can be described as poor and white, and there is no other way to go, so he can only bite the bullet and try it to see if he can make a magic sword by luck.

Even if it is only the lowest low-grade magic sword, he can immediately have the capital to exchange for the initial resources.

Once Tie Jian made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and began to plan how to implement this plan.

Yao Bin kept the ground fire well under strict supervision. He definitely had no way to use it. However, the ordinary sword rooms in front had fire pits, but without fire essence powder as a combustion aid, the temperature could not reach the temperature required to smelt sword embryos. degree.

Moreover, there are nearby shops and streets. Once borrowed, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

Thinking of this, Tie Jian rubbed his hands subconsciously and walked back and forth in the room a few times.

After a while, he turned his head and glanced at his house, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

……

It's late at night.

Yan's sword shop was quiet, only a side hall in the courtyard where the Xieshan Hall was located was still lit.

I saw that in the room, in the center of the ground behind the charcoal pile, a large hole three feet square was dug at some point.The pried out masonry and the excavated soil were built around, making a boxy simple fire pond.

The broken anvil that was placed in the corner was also moved by Tie Jian and placed beside the fire pit.

On a small table next to the anvil, objects such as stone cups, molds and forging hammers are neatly placed.These are all in the afternoon, he went to the sword room in front to come.

The swordsmith over there, knowing that he was the apprentice of Master Chen Guang, naturally did not dare to neglect, and prepared everything for him.

At this time, Tie Jian, who was wearing a short-sleeved brown coat, was bending over, picking up a dozen pieces from the charcoal pile next to him, and throwing them into the fire pit.

Then, he took out some flammable withered grass, ignited it with a fire stick, stuffed it into the fire pit, and gathered the charcoal on it.

A wisp of smoke emerged from it, and a faint flame slowly grew out of it.

Tie Jian smashed the two cut-off sword embryos, threw them into the stone cup, and put them into the fire pit.

Then, he carefully took out a small yellow paper package from his arms and opened it.

There are some red and fine colored powder inside, which is the fire powder used to support combustion.

This fire essence powder, which is not much bigger than the cap of a thumb fingernail, was collected from the edge of the fire pond and on the ebony frame while Yao Bin was not paying attention during this period of time. It was all the leftover material that Chen Guang had spilled while refining his sword.

He thought for a moment, and threw the paper bag into the fire.

"Boom" sound!

A piece of crimson flames rose up, and suddenly the stone cup was wrapped around it, and it burned violently.

Soon, the raging flames in the fire pool burned the stone cup red, and the sword embryo fragments inside began to melt.

Seeing this, Tie Jian let out a sigh of relief.

After a while, most of the sword embryo fragments in the stone cup melted, and only the top ones were burnt red, but still remained solid.

When Tie Jian was turning around to take the iron clip and the mold, the flame in the fire pit suddenly trembled and gradually became weaker, and the temperature in the entire house dropped a bit.

The ignition powder finally failed to last until the smelting was completed, and it had burned out.

Although Tie Jian had been prepared for this, he still felt some regrets in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly let out a low drink, his whole face flushed red, and he beat his heart with his fist.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The muffled sound continued to come out, and the punch in the hand was heavy.

"Come out, come out for me..." Tie Jian clenched his teeth, screaming in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" in his heart, the sound was no louder than him beating himself, but it seemed to come from the depths of the lake in his heart, which made his whole body tremble.

Immediately afterwards, an unbearable hot and dry feeling spread all over his body, and the skin of his whole body turned red.

Before he could move, an intense burning sensation came from his heart, and quickly flowed along the veins in his body to the palm that stretched out towards the fire pool.

"Pfft" sounded softly.

A wisp of pale golden flame suddenly burst out from between his fingers, turning into a mass of fire waves with a radius of ten feet, submerging the entire fire pool, and rushing to the wall behind.

Tie Jian was shocked in his heart, and quickly withdrew his mind, and the fire wave gushing out of his hand immediately shrank, turning into a ball of golden flames about the size of a foot, gathering in the fire pond.

When he used this golden flame last time, he just did it unintentionally between life and death. This time, after deliberate operation, he discovered that this strange flame actually connected with his mind, and it was quite easy to control.

And the temperature of this flame is so high that it is really scary.

It was just an instant explosion, and a conspicuous crack was burned in the lower part of the front wall. If he did not control it in time, it was not impossible to directly burn through this side hall.

After only counting the breath time, the sword embryo in the stone cup had completely melted and turned into a cup of crimson slurry.

Tie Jian shook his hands, trying to retract the flames gushing out from between his fingers, but it only caused the flames to become unstable for a while, but it had no effect. He tried to put his fingers together and make a fist, but it still didn't help.

At this moment, his mind suddenly felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but staggered.

The mana that was scattered in the meridians in his body was quickly lost because of the use of different fires.

If it doesn't stop, I'm afraid it will be exhausted, causing him to faint and faint.

In this way, this sword refining will definitely fail.But if you want to get the materials together again, you don't know when you will have to wait.

He was very anxious in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down, trying to calm down the burning golden flame with his mind, calling it back into his body over and over again.

Finally, when Tie Jian's consciousness was somewhat blurred, the golden flame trembled slightly, like a child who went out to play, reluctantly shrunk into his fingers and returned to his body.

Tie Jian swayed, forced himself to stand still, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gasped for breath, but couldn't hide a trace of excitement in his heart.

He settled down and adjusted his breath slightly.Afterwards, the stone cup was slowly pulled out, and the molten liquid was carefully poured into the mold.

Before it had cooled down, Tie Jian took out a yellow talisman from his arms and stuck it in the center of the room.I saw the khaki light flashed away, the talisman disappeared, and the whole room suddenly seemed to be isolated from the outside world.

Looking at the missing talisman, Tie Jian shook his head and smiled wryly. This lowest-level sound-proof talisman almost emptied all his family assets.Now he can be said to be truly penniless.

The sword embryo gradually condensed and formed, and Tie Jian poured it on the anvil, picked up the forging hammer, and began to thump it.

The shadow of the moon sinks to the west.It wasn't until the middle of the night that the sound of beating in the side hall stopped.

Tie Jian was dripping with sweat, and his whole body was slumped on the edge of the wall like a pool of ooze, holding a two-foot-long dagger in his hand, rubbing it lightly.

The dagger is still just a sword embryo, not activated, but the body of the sword is very bright, with shining silver light flashing on it, which looks quite extraordinary.

"Unexpectedly, the quality of this sword embryo has improved so much under the second smelting of my different fire. Unfortunately, it was only quenched with ordinary spring water. Otherwise, it would be much easier to open the spirit later." Tie Jian's mouth twitched. Smiling, he muttered to himself.

However, when it came to Kailing, he was in trouble again.

The opening of the sword embryo is the last step in becoming a magic sword, and it is also a crucial step.

It not only determines whether the sword embryo can become a magic sword, but also determines the quality level after becoming a magic sword.

But if you want to open the spirit, you cannot do without the open spirit carving knife.

This kind of engraving knife is usually made of bronze, and it needs to be inlaid with primordial stones of different attributes to play a role in engraving runes. It uses its own mana to guide the spiritual power in the primordial stone into the sword body, so that the magic sword can obtain different attribute support.

For example, Chen Guang used to open the spirit for the samurai's sword before, and the spirit-opening carving knife used was inlaid with fire essence stones, so the sword could be blessed with the scorching attribute.

It can be said that Kailing is closely related to the quality of the magic sword and the attribute blessings it can obtain, but now, he has no Kailing carving knife at all.

In the entire Yan's sword shop, I am afraid that only Chen Guang and Yao Bin have this thing, but he has no way to borrow it.

"Is it the only way to try that?" Tie Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile.

After saying a word, he leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

About an hour later, his eyes suddenly opened again, he put the sword embryo across his knees, forced himself to cheer up, and let out a long breath of foul air.

Then, he raised a finger, forced himself to urge the scattered magic power scattered around his body, and flowed towards the fingertip.

At the top of his right index finger, strands of mana converged, and gradually, it turned into a red ray of light the size of a red bean, flickering slightly.

He pressed the short sword embryo on his knee with his left hand, and pointed his index finger on the sword with his right hand, and began to draw it.

With a faint sound, Tie Jian hissed a few times, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
