I turned daily skills into supernatural powers

Chapter 13 Assessment
Wei Yi walked around the shop in Jianfeng Building.

The interior decoration is luxurious, and various weapons are placed on the exquisite sword stand.

But the main thing for sale is the sword.

And according to the quality and level of the sword, it is also divided into different sales areas.

There is an area for selling ordinary swords, and there is an area for selling jeweled swords and three jeweled swords.

But if you want to buy a five-jeweled sword, or a higher quality one, you need to make an appointment for customization.

Behind the counter in the sales area of ​​a sword, there are five pennants hanging, on which are written "Ming, Xu, Qian, Wu, Zhang".

According to the clerk's introduction, the pennant represented the names of the five ninth-rank swordsmiths.

That is their personal trademark.

Although they cooperate with Jianfeng Building, they will also leave their own exclusive personal logo on the sword they cast.

And even though they are both rank-[-] swordsmiths, everyone has different styles and preferences in making swords.

Some pursue the ultimate hardness, while others focus on the toughness of the sword.

Some are good at engraving exquisite patterns on the body of the sword as decoration.

Some are good at making a fuss about the style of the hilt.

Some like to build wide blades, others like to build narrow blades.

Moreover, in terms of the overall quality of the sword, there are also slight differences, high and low.

This makes the swords made by individual ninth-rank swordsmiths more popular, and their reputation in the circle will be slightly higher than that of other peers.

For example, the swordsmith "Liu Ming" is the most famous among the five ninth-rank swordsmiths.

A jeweled sword with a clear logo is also the most expensive in the shop.

After leaving Jianfeng Tower, Wei Yi went to Wanjiange again.

As a result, as soon as I entered the store, I saw a lot of people gathered inside.

The leader is a middle-aged man with a goatee, brocade clothes and a long sword on his waist.

Pointing to the swordsmith's banner on the wall, he said, "I'm talking about Guanshi Zhang. Now these three swordsmiths have cooperated exclusively with our Jianfeng Pavilion. Shouldn't you take off this banner, or else I'll have to kill you?" I'm going to the Swordsmith Division to sue you!"

Hearing what the man with the goatee said, the guests around were suddenly commotioned.

Someone asked in surprise: "What do you mean, these three swordsmiths are no longer cooperating with Wanjiange?"

"That's right, the three swordsmiths have unique insight and chose our Jianfeng building!"

The man with the goatee looked at Zhang Xingye with a sarcasm on his face: "So, Manager Zhang, what are you waiting for, hurry up and pick up the pennants of the three swordsmiths!"

Hearing what the man with the goatee said, Zhang Xingye was a little embarrassed.

But the other party was right, they could no longer hang the pennants of the three swordsmiths.

"Our swordsmith has just been pried away by you guys with nasty means, and you come here in such a hurry to force us to pick up the flag, it's too ugly to eat!" Zhang Xingye replied coldly.

"Guan Zhang, don't spitting blood, this good bird chooses a tree to live in..."

Zhang Xingye and the man with the goatee were arguing with each other, and Wei Yi was not interested in continuing to listen.

Turning around and leaving Wanjiange, he roughly understood what happened.

It's just that I don't have time to watch the excitement here.

It's almost time for lunch, so I go back and cook a few delicious dishes, drink a pot of wine, and treat myself well.

In the afternoon of the same day, the official of the Sword Casting Division came to inform Wei Yi that he was going to attend the assessment in the Sword Casting Division tomorrow.

The assessment will take three to four days.

During this period, you are not allowed to leave the Jianjian Division, and you must eat and live there.

The examination content is not complicated.

Use compliant materials to build two swords successively, and the quality can meet the requirements.

However, during the assessment period, the invigilator will also supervise and evaluate all important links of the blacksmith making the sword.

Finally, the overall level will be scored.

This score will also be recorded.

Therefore, if they are both rank nine swordsmiths, they will be divided into first class and second class.

"Thank you, my lord!" Wei Yi cupped his hands in thanks, feeling quite happy in his heart.

He also hopes to pass the examination as soon as possible and obtain the status of a ninth-rank swordsmith.

"You're welcome, Your Excellency, hurry up and get ready, and arrive at the examination room on time tomorrow!" the official ordered.

"Thank you for your reminder!" Wei Yi cupped his hands again.

The official nodded slightly, then turned around and walked out of the yard.

"I'm really not dreaming, bro, you're really going to become a ninth-rank swordsmith!" Wei Qing said excitedly after the official left.

"Don't be impatient, I'll talk about everything after I pass the assessment!" Wei Yi said with a smile. Although he was confident, he was also afraid that extreme joy would turn into sadness.

"Brother, you are sure to be fine!" Shitou also said happily.

"Yeah, I believe in you too, and I'm sure I'm sure!"

The laughter in the yard made the corner of Wei Xueshi's mouth curl into a faint smile.

On the second day, Wei Yi came to the Sword Casting Department to report on time.

The assessment site is in the backyard of the Sword Casting Division, which is similar to a blacksmith's shop.

There are three people in charge of the invigilation.

Su He, the envoy of the Sword Making Division.

The official Hou Dong with a mole on his chin.

And Du Yujiang, the treasurer of Wanjiange.

In fact, Du Yujiang was very pleasantly surprised when he got the information that Wei Yi filled out.

Because he discovered that the other party turned out to be Wei Tieshan's nephew.

He still has some understanding of Wei Tieshan's strength.

The people he trained might really have the potential to become ninth-rank swordsmiths.

But when Du Yujiang saw Wei Yi himself, he suddenly lost his mind.

Most of these swordsmiths have rough faces and strong bodies.

But Wei Yi looked like a handsome young man, a refined scholar.

It doesn't look like a blacksmith at all.

Is such a person sure to strike iron?

"Here is the iron material, here is the coal for burning, and here are some materials that you may use!" The official with a mottled chin introduced the facilities and items in the examination room to Wei Yi.

"My lord, is there any Qiang Stone?" Wei Yi asked.

"Qiang Stone? Yes, wait, I'll get it for you!"

Qiang Stone is also one of the ores that can be used to make swords, but it is not commonly used.

But it is also recorded in the relevant files, and it is a compliant ore.

"This kid wants to use Qiang Stone?" Du Yujiang raised his brows slightly, a little surprised in his heart.

It is not a secret to use Qiang stone to quench the fire.

After heating and melting the scorpion stone, it is mixed with oil in a certain proportion, and then the sword is quenched.

This increases the hardness of the sword.

But it is a partial method.

Because it is not easy to control the results, and the success rate is very low.

One or two successes out of ten is not bad.

Is this Wei Yi going to use this desperate method to pass the assessment?
Du Yujiang said heartily.

I can't help but feel that Wei Yi is probably wasting his time for nothing.

Thinking about the current situation of the Wei family, maybe this Wei Yi was also forced to do nothing.

"Oh, I thought that there would be another ninth-grade swordsmith in Qingzhou City, but now it seems that I'm going to be disappointed!" Du Yujiang shook his head secretly.

Naturally, he couldn't believe that Wei Yi could pass this test.

Not long after, the official brought the Qiang Stone to Wei Yi, and then explained the rules of the assessment to Wei Yi.

After Wei Yi confirmed that he knew the rules, he told him that he could start.

Wei Yi quickly ignited the blacksmith stove, and then pulled the bellows to let the coal burn fully.

After the furnace is perfect and reaches the temperature he needs, he puts the iron material he picked before into it for burning.
