From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 206 Open Furnace Refiner

Li Yi walked into the Supervision Department, where he lived was actually not far from the Supervision Department.

Only less than a mile or so.

The environment near the Supervision Division is quiet and there are few shops, but it is very quiet.

After all, what the Supervisory Division does is very secretive and extremely deterrent to most people.

Open a shop to do business here, and you won't be able to attract a few customers.

Walking into the department, the supervisory department in the daytime has always been silent, with few voices.

It's winter now, and it's even more lonely.

Wei Ning was lying on the desk, sorting out the official documents to be submitted, with a very serious and focused expression.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the door, looking up, Li Yizheng looked at himself with a smile.

Wei Ning responded with a chuckle, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "You're finally back!"

Li Yi handed her the collected official documents, looked around, and did not find that other colleagues immediately asked.

"They've all gone?"

"Yeah." Wei Ning nodded, "After completing the inspection, they returned to their respective county towns."

As an inspector, in addition to inspecting everywhere, more is to sit in the county seat.

It is impossible to stay in the county town all the time every day. In this county town, most of the time, only he and Wei Ning are in the town.

If the other inspectors have something they can't solve, they will be notified.

If the two of them can't solve it, they will continue to report.

"With your official document, this inspection is over."

Wei Ning looked at the official document he handed over, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The official documents submitted by Li Yi have been sorted out in advance, and the comments and specific situations are also written in great detail, so she does not need to make any revisions.

Li Yi also sat at the desk and began to organize these official documents, which was the work of the two of them.

Although Wei Ning didn't ask him to help, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Seeing that he was also handling these official documents, Wei Ning couldn't help but smile, and the pressure in his heart was instantly relieved by most.

With his help, the processing speed was suddenly much faster.

Wei Ning was not good at handling these official documents. Li Yi had worked as a prisoner before, and even as a county magistrate.

But within half an hour, all the accumulated affairs were processed.

"Okay, these will be handed in directly later."

Li Yi returned Wei Ning's token to her.

Some official documents must have her seal to be valid.

Li Yi handled it quickly, and Wei Ning took the initiative to fight for him.

In order to solve these things conveniently, he even gave his own token to Li Yi first.

For inspectors, tokens are extremely important and can prove identity to exercise rights.

Even very close ones tend not to send tokens away.

Wei Ning's willingness to give him the token was enough to show her trust in Li Yi.

"The reward given to us by the imperial court will arrive in a few days at most, and all the rewards will be sent down before the festival."

Wei Ning took the token and said with a smile.

It's a good thing to have a reward, and no one doesn't like it.

"That's a good thing!" Li Yi also smiled happily.

"Come, try our Sifang City's specialty, Sifang Cake."

Li Yi opened the box next to the table, and inside was a gift for Wei Ning. It wasn't anything rare, just some special products of Sifang City.

Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate.

The value of giving Wei Ning a gift is not necessarily important, what matters is the friendship.

"tasty!"

Eating the cake in her mouth, she gave her evaluation.

"Give me that yard in the east, I have something to do."

Li Yi got up and pointed to the house beside him.

Although most places belong to inspectors, as inspectors, they naturally have more than a dozen courtyards, but most of them are uninhabited.

If there are inspectors who come to the county town, they can stay there temporarily.

At other times no one goes at all.

"it is good."

Wei Ning didn't care much about this, and agreed directly. With so many yards, Li Yi didn't want one, but two or three.

Li Yi chatted with her a few more times, chatted about the current situation in the city, and left.

Now that we have a yard, we should go and buy coal and iron felts and other tools for forging.

So good to be able to forge their favorite weapons.

After purchasing the materials needed for forging, he came to the official mansion, which was the first time he came to the official mansion of the county town.

There is only one thing to do here, and that is to check to see if there is a true temple in this county town, and if there is a Taoist priest named Liu Mengqing in the temple.

This is not difficult. After he came to the official mansion, the county governor here received him extremely warmly.

After Li Yi said what he wanted, someone immediately took the roster.

The true view is still there, and Liu Mengqing is now the master of the view.

After Li Yi got the information he wanted, he didn't stay in the government for much longer, and ran out of the city on horseback.

The villages and towns around the county town are dotted, and many people and poor peasants also lived during this period.

Li Yi continued to gallop on his horse, and the truth was gradually appearing in front of him.

This Taoist temple covers an area several times larger than the original Taiping Temple.

However, it is not a big force in the county town, and the strength of the spectator is only the fourth level of the day after tomorrow.

Li Yi climbed the mountain to visit, and his identity naturally met Liu Mengqing soon.

"The adults are looking for a poor way, and I don't know why?"

Liu Mengqing looked calm and saluted.

"I wonder if Liu Guanzhu has a junior brother named Zhang Mengling."

Li Yi asked.

In fact, with the name of the other party, this identity and the fact that he is still in the real view, he can basically be sure that he is definitely Zhang Daochang's senior brother.

However, in order not to go wrong, he opened his mouth to confirm.

Liu Mengqing nodded and smiled, "I do have such a junior brother, but I haven't seen him for many years. Could it be that something happened to him?"

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, it can be seen that the relationship between the two should be excellent back then.

"Zhang Daochang and I are old friends, but nothing happened to him, he just asked me to send a letter."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he handed the envelope from his arms.

"Thank you!"

Liu Mengqing was very excited when he saw the familiar handwriting.

When he was about to bow down and salute, Li Yi quickly helped him up.

"As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty. Since the letter has been delivered, I will not wait any longer."

He smiled slightly, and immediately left Zhenguan.

…………

…………

It is cold in the deep winter, and the moon is like a hook.

Li Yi appeared alone in the small courtyard of the Supervisory Division. This small courtyard was not very large. Apart from the courtyard, there were only four or five rooms.

The house is filled with fine coals, iron felt stoves and other forging utensils.

He had already explained in advance that others would not allow them to enter this small building.

Make sure that what you have here will not be discovered by others.

Li Yi pushed the door into the house and closed most of the doors and windows, leaving only two open to the courtyard for ventilation.

He lit the lamp, and the scene appeared before him.

Coal and materials are piled up here, and on the other side are many tools used for forging.

The coal that Li Yi bought was the best Xuanyuan charcoal.

This kind of coal itself also contains part of the energy of heaven and earth, but it cannot be compared with primeval stone.

Among them, the content of vitality is extremely low, and the temperature released by burning is extremely high, which can be used to smelt most precious iron.

In addition, the charcoal itself is extremely resistant to burning, and the output is large.

Most blacksmiths use this type of charcoal as a burning material when crafting famous objects.

The price of this kind of charcoal is also extremely high, and a catty of good Xuanyuan charcoal can be exchanged for 50 taels of silver.

And he bought more than [-] catties for forging tools.

Li Yi first picked up a few pieces of ordinary coal and lit it, and after they were fully burned, he threw Xuanyuan charcoal into it.

The ignition point of Xuanyuan charcoal is much higher than that of ordinary coal.

The temperature released after burning will also be much higher.

When the coal was fully burned, he grabbed the cold water iron and the nebula iron beside him.

His inner qi was surging like a river.

Nebula iron and cold water iron have excellent internal qi conductivity, and his internal qi can be released again, and it is directly absorbed at the moment.

Li Yi directly threw these materials into the charcoal pile. The first step in forging a famous tool was to smelt and fuse these types of steel together.

Under the action of high temperature, the material quickly turns into molten iron.

Li Yi added Yuanling iron to it and smelted it again, and the three treasure irons turned into a pool of molten iron entrenched in the coal center.

Finally, add the spirit-shaped iron, which will make the whole weapon stronger.

Li Yi released the internal gas and absorbed the molten iron.

The molten iron, which had been completely smelted, gradually turned into a long sword under the restraint of his inner energy.

At the same time, countless black carbon spots began to appear on the surface of the long knife, which were all impurities that had just been accidentally smelted.

Under his control in that phase, the long knife began to be tempered over and over again to expel all impurities.

This is just the first step, there is still more time for forging.

However, Xiji Gengjin Jue is really helpful for forging weapons. If you hadn't practiced this technique by yourself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to extract the impurities in it.

Only by cultivating this technique can one have a stronger grasp of these treasures and can easily extract the impurities in them.

Not only that, but the weapon can be directly fixed in the shape of a long knife when it is smelted for the first time.

If you practice other exercises, you will get a big iron rod at most, and you have to spend more time forging and polishing.

Originally, according to my own expectations, it would take two months to build a medium-grade famous device.

Now it seems that it won't take so long, half a month long, or more than ten days, before I can successfully create a famous tool.

All the impurities in the long knife were discharged, Li Yi extinguished the fire, and put the shaped long knife in water to quench it.

A flickering sharp and sharp long sword appeared.

Of course, this is just a rough embryo, and it needs to be hammered and hammered to become a real treasured knife.

Forging and hammering is the real test of the blacksmith's craftsmanship. If there is anything wrong, the whole weapon will be broken, or cracks will appear in the internal knocking, which will greatly reduce the conductivity of the inner air.

Such a weapon is useless.

Even if it is rebuilt, the quality will drop a level.

Li Yi doesn't have to worry about such a situation. It is not a problem to build a high-grade reputation with his craftsmanship, not to mention it is only a medium-grade famous weapon.

Leave the crude embryo of the weapon behind, and close the doors and windows after confirming that the fire is out.

He dodged away from the Supervision Division. The Supervision Division was already very lively at this time, and he could even hear footsteps coming and going not far away.

Most of the people coming and going were wearing black clothes and black robes to cover their faces, and it was impossible to see who it was.

They may be pawns of merchants, the disciples of the small martial arts hall in the city, or the officials of the yamen.

Li Yi bypassed them and returned home quickly.

For the next few days, his life was as stable as before, practicing martial arts, accompany Zhao Qian to learn from each other, and at night he devoted his time to forging weapons.

Until Wei Ning came to the door.
