refining sword

Chapter 35 Brahma Runes
Seeing this, Tie Jian felt a little relieved, knowing that this was the performance of the scattered fire cloud crystals spreading all the firepower evenly.

He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, poured the sword embryo out of the stone trough, and calcined it again with iron tongs...

Tie Jian had just completed the step of smelting into embryos, but someone on the square had already finished smelting swords and walked out of the stone room.

It was a middle-aged swordsman about 40 years old, with a Chinese character face.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a snow-white dharma sword was sent to the stone platform in the square, and handed over to the eight great sword masters for evaluation.

After several great sword refiners passed the inspection and exchanged opinions with each other, one of the white-bearded old men stood up and announced: "Lin's Chamber of Commerce, sword refiner Lin Lang. Refining the white rainbow sword, high-grade magic sword , Class A, high quality."

The sound was loud and reverberated over the square.

As soon as his voice fell, there was an official of the Ministry of Industry and Manufacturing next to him, who recorded the sword in the book.

Another person held the sword in both hands and sent it to a sword stand on the left side of the stone platform, offering it up.

When the middle-aged swordsman heard this comment, a look of joy appeared on his face, and strode toward the chamber of commerce where he was, and someone here had already greeted him with a smile.

The chamber of commerce that has made good friends with them will also come to congratulate them, which has caused a lively scene in the square.

However, there are not many people like him who finished refining early and left the sword room soon. Most of them left the sword room and returned to the square during the fifth or sixth day.

It's just that their looks and appearances can be said to be different, and they are somewhat similar to the Gongsheng who walked out of the Gongyuan during the imperial examination.

Among them, there are people who have extraordinary performance, and the swords they have refined are far beyond their ordinary level; there are also people who lost all the materials and failed to refine them.

These scenes, for the people from the Chamber of Commerce and the family who came to participate in this conference, were either psychologically prepared or accustomed to it, so they did not attract much attention.

It wasn't until noon on the sixth day that a burly man with a height of nearly [-] feet walked out of the sword room with a scarlet wide-bladed giant sword on his shoulders, which caused everyone to cry out.

When the big man sent the giant sword to the square for evaluation, the eight great sword masters were all overjoyed after checking it.

那名白须老者更是激动得声音微颤，宣布道：“本届大会，第一柄极品法剑！罗家商会，罗侯。炼制猩纹裂石剑，极品法剑，甲等，质excellent!"

As soon as the white-bearded old man said this, the whole square suddenly boiled, and almost everyone cheered for it.

Even Situ Hao, who had been sitting in front of him and closed his eyes, also opened his eyes to look at the man a few times, and there was quite a bit of admiration in his eyes.

The burly man was full of pride and contentment, enjoying the respect of everyone, and strode towards his chamber of commerce.

The Luo Family Chamber of Commerce where he belongs is one of the four major chambers of commerce in the capital, and its strength has always been slightly inferior to the other three. Today, he has refined such a top-quality magic sword in one fell swoop, which naturally adds a lot to his family.

Seeing this, the faces of the presidents of the other three major chambers of commerce and others are naturally not so good-looking.

Not long after, the sword refiners from the Jin's Chamber of Commerce in the three major chambers of commerce also walked out of the sword room and returned to the square.

However, unlike the previous big man, when the slender half-hundred-year-old walked back to the ground, he was leaning on a half blue sword in his hand. .

His face was as pale as paper, and before he took a few steps, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone from the Jin's Chamber of Commerce rushed up, hurriedly lifted him down, hurried through the crowd, and headed towards the stone house.

After they left, the voices of discussion in the square increased instead of dropping, and became more and more noisy.

After about three hours, Chen Guang's figure also appeared on the square, with a slight smile on his face, holding a golden long sword three-finger wide upside down, he came to the eight famous universities. In front of the swordsman, he saluted slightly and handed the long sword up.

When the eight people saw the sword, their eyes couldn't help but flickered slightly, and there was a hint of admiration in their eyes at the same time.

"The heat is very accurate, and the sword embryo is forged just right, not bad, very good..." An old man in black robe couldn't help but admire.

After the judges passed the appraisal to each other, the white-bearded old man smiled and announced: "Yan's Chamber of Commerce, Chen Guang. Refined Jinyang sword, top-grade magic sword, armor, etc., high quality."

Chen Guang had a look of joy on his face, his eyes swept across the crowd, neither Tie Jian nor Yan Zi was seen. After a little thought, he walked straight down the square and rushed towards the stone house.

When he returned to Tie Jian's stone house, Yan Zi was sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping the little abacus with a towel on his cheeks.

"Have you not woken up yet?" Chen Guang walked in and asked with a frown.

Yan Zi heard the sound, turned her head to look, saw Chen Guang with a smile on her face, and replied, "I woke up in a daze twice, and it didn't take long before I fell asleep again. By the way, Are you finished refining?"

"Well, fortunately not humiliated. The top-grade magic sword was rated as Class A." Chen Guang looked at Xiao Abacus's bloody cheeks, nodded and said.

"What about Tie Jian? Has he come out yet?" Yan Zi nodded and asked again.

She has been taking care of the little abacus these days, and has hardly been out of the stone house, so she is not clear about the current situation.

"I just came out of the sword room, and I haven't seen him yet. I think it's probably because I haven't finished refining it yet." Chen Guang shook his head and said.

"His goal is a top-quality magic sword, and I don't know what to do now?" Yan Zi murmured, but there was a lot of worry between her brows...

At this moment, in the sword room, Tie Jian was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and his knees crossed.

In front of him, a white jade porcelain bottle was placed upside down, and the restorative pill in it had been used up.

Above his knees, there is a long sword about three feet long and three fingers wide. Shining brightly.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, his eyes shining brightly.

He held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and pressed the body of the sword across his right leg. With his right hand, he took out a short bronze dagger from his sleeve, which was a "spiritual carving knife".

Tie Jian paused for a while, then he held the bronze short blade in his hand, and the short blade tip pressed against the long sword.

His eyes were slightly closed, and a strange light flashed through them.A complex rune pattern that he had tried to draw many times before began to slowly emerge in his mind.

Once you start to draw the rune, the tip of the blade cannot leave the blade. You must draw the entire rune in one go. A slight pause in the middle may lead to complete failure.

After a while, he had carefully recalled every detail of the rune, and even re-drawn it in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he finally slowly moved his arm.

With the slight tremor of his arm, the fire essence stone engraved on the spirit-opening carving knife also lit up.

Under the light, a rune with complex structure and complicated lines began to appear on the colorful long sword little by little, and the light on the fire element began to gradually dim.

It's just that this consumption speed is many times faster than when he saw Chen Guang use it that day.

After less than a quarter of an hour, the rune on the sword body was only depicted less than one-third, the fire essence stone on the spirit carving knife had been exhausted, and the light was extremely dim. .

Tie Jian's heart tightened slightly, and a fine layer of sweat immediately oozes from his forehead.

He was mentally prepared for this situation before, because the rune he painted was the "Burning Heaven" rune that was famous for its extreme consumption of spiritual power.

In the process of depicting this rune, there is a huge demand for fire attribute spiritual power. At present, all the fire essence stones that can be bought on the market are basically impossible to support the depiction of a complete burning sky rune.

However, according to Tie Jian’s original estimate, he thought it could support at least two-thirds of the runes, but now it seems that it can only depict a little more than one-third, and it will be completely useless.

The speed at which the fire essence stone's spiritual power was consumed was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, I only heard a crisp sound of "pop"!
The light of the fire essence stone on the Kailing carving knife was completely extinguished, and it suddenly shattered, turned into a piece of powder, and fell down.

Almost at the same time, Tie Jian's eyebrows twitched, and the mana in his dantian surged out immediately, following the veins of his arm all the way to the palm of his hand, and then into the spirit-opening carving knife in his hand, reflecting the entire blade into a Crimson color.

The movements in his hands did not stagnate in the slightest, the mana in his body replaced the spiritual power of the Fire Element Stone and poured into the sword body, and the lines depicted by the runes still emerged smoothly little by little.

With Tie Jian's cultivation at the foundation-building stage at this time, coupled with the help of the soul-devouring fire, the mana contained in his dantian is far superior to that of ordinary monks of the same level.

However, when he put the mana into the carving knife, he finally realized how terrifying the consumption of spiritual power by the Burning Heaven Rune.

Tie Jian only felt that a hole had been opened in his dantian, and the mana was like a lake opening a gate, frantically pouring out of the body, rather than saying that he was pouring mana into the rune, it was more that the rune was going crazy. Devour his mana.

There was a hint of horror in Tie Jian's heart, and he forced himself to stabilize his mind, suppressing the flow of mana as much as possible, so that it would not really become uncontrollable.

Outside of his body, the air fluctuations caused by the mana surge continued to ripple, and strands of white mist also evaporated.
