I turned daily skills into supernatural powers

Chapter 14 Excited Du Yujiang (for further reading)
Forging a sword is a long and tedious process.

So the three invigilators didn't stay on the scene all the time, staring at Wei Yi intently.

You only need to focus on observing and scoring a few more important links.

Such as forging the sword embryo into the sword body, and heat treatment of the sword body.

After a long time, the iron material was burnt, and Wei Yi also began to strike the iron with a hammer.

The sound of metal knocking echoed.

Du Yujiang, Su He, and Hou Dong, who were drinking tea in the gazebo, also looked at Wei Yi in unison.

"I didn't expect this kid to look weak and swing the hammer very powerfully!" Du Yujiang said with a smile, stroking the beard on his chin.

As a seventh-rank swordsmith, he could feel the strength of the hammer when he heard the sound of forging iron.

"Yeah, I just wondered if this scholar can't even lift a hammer!" Hou Dong said with a smile.

Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi's appearance of forging iron, and a little expectation for him was raised in his heart.

Near noon, the envoy Su He had already gone back.

Hou Dong also leaned on the chair drowsy.

Only Du Yujiang stood near Wei Yi, observing his process of forging the sword embryo, and then scoring on the booklet.

During the assessment period, Wei Yi couldn't leave the Sword Making Department, so three meals a day were provided by the Sword Making Department.

After Wei Yi finished his lunch, he took a short rest and continued to cold forge the sword embryo.

By the time of Shen, the sword body had been forged.

After the shovel leveling and fine cold forging, it is the most important link - heat treatment.

This is also the process that Du Yujiang wants to focus on.

So he moved a chair and sat not far from Wei Yi, ready to carefully observe his next operation.

Especially the way he used the Qiang Stone.

With no other distractions, Wei Yi pulled the bellows and re-ignited the fire.

Wait until the fire reaches the temperature you need.

He put the sword body into the blacksmith's furnace, and at the same time put the clang stone into the blacksmith's furnace.

Seeing this scene, Du Yujiang frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

"What is he doing? Why did he put the Qiang stone and the sword body into the blacksmith's furnace?" Du Yujiang was puzzled.

As far as he knows how to use Qiang Shi, that's not the case.

Instead, after heating and melting the stone, it is mixed with oil in a certain proportion.

It is then used as a coolant to quench the red-hot sword.

So seeing Wei Yi's actions, he couldn't understand.

But he didn't dare to judge right or wrong.

After all, he also knows that there is not only one way to make a sword.

What he knows is just the tip of the iceberg.

He was just curious, would Wei Yi's actions really work?

For a long time after that, Wei Yi almost stayed by the blacksmith's stove.

Seems to be controlling the temperature of the blacksmith's furnace all the time.

This made Du Yujiang feel very fresh.

He has kept the blacksmith's furnace at a certain temperature, and he has never seen anyone do this before.

Including himself.

After about an hour, Wei Yi left the blacksmith's furnace.

Immediately walked up to Du Yujiang, bowed and bowed: "Jianlin, this is the end of today, we need to wait for the fire to cool down, and we will do follow-up processing tomorrow!"

"Well, okay, let's have a cup of tea together!" Du Yujiang said with a smile.

Looking at Wei Yi's operation just now, he started to have expectations for Wei Yi again.

"Okay!" Wei Yi followed Du Yujiang to the gazebo for a cup of tea.

"Did Wei Tieshan teach you this skill?" Du Yujiang asked.

"Well, that's right, but there are also some methods that I have researched myself!" Wei Yi said with a smile, naturally he would not tell the truth.

"Who did you learn how to heat the Qiang stone and the sword body together?" Du Yujiang asked again, curious in his heart.

"This...is a method I discovered by accident!" Wei Yi said seriously.

Du Yujiang nodded and said nothing more.

Because he doesn't know the principle of this method.

Continuing to chat will make you look unprofessional.

All we can do is wait for tomorrow to see the final result.

Du Yujiang chatted with Wei Yi about Wei Tieshan again, and also lamented Wei Tieshan's misfortune.

After chatting for a while, Du Yujiang was ready to go back.

Wei Yi bid farewell to Du Yujiang, and went back to his room to rest under the leadership of the official Liang Tian.

After returning to the room, Wei Yi was not idle.

He asked the official for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then continued to improve his writing skills.

Early the next morning, after Wei Yi had breakfast, he continued to accept the assessment.

Today, only Du Yujiang and Na Houdong were invigilating the exam together.

The envoy Su He wasn't there, in fact he didn't come back yesterday afternoon.

Throughout the morning, Wei Yi conducted a series of heat treatments on the sword body, which blinded Du Yujiang as well.

Some even didn't understand that Wei Yi repeatedly heated and cooled the blade,

What's the point of cooling and heating.

He even felt that Wei Yi really didn't know how to temper himself, so he messed around.

In the end, Du Yujiang didn't bother to look at it anymore, and sat aside and drank tea.

"Okay!" Wei Yi polished and polished the sword body, installed the hilt, and held it in his hand.

Immediately walked to the pavilion, cupped his hands and said: "Jianlin, my sword has been forged."

Du Yujiang's eyes immediately fell on the sword in Wei Yi's hand.

Immediately got up and walked closer.

He took the sword from Wei Yi.

The moment Du Yujiang held the sword in his hand, Du Yujiang's eyes lit up a little.

His eyes were shining brightly, and there was a slight hint of joy at the corners of his mouth.

Just from the appearance of this sword, it gives people a sense of sharpness.

It is no ordinary sword.

He carefully observed the texture of the sword body, and checked the appearance of the sword.

The spine of the sword is straight and the blade is flat.

The exterior is almost impeccable.

The next step is to test performance.

Basic inspections such as hair cutting, paper cutting, and wire chopping were passed.

Then bend the sword body to test its toughness, which is also excellent.

With each test, Du Yujiang was more and more pleasantly surprised, even a little excited.

Because he has basically confirmed that this sword has definitely reached the level of a treasured sword.

It even surpassed the performance of most jeweled swords.

This Wei Yi actually has the strength of a ninth-rank swordsmith!

The side official Hou Dong's gaze towards Wei Yi has also changed.

He didn't expect that this frail scholar could actually forge a sword.

Finally, Du Yujiang brought the sword-testing stick again.

Prepare to test the ultimate performance of this sword.

This sword test stick is almost the same as the one I cut off before.

Even thicker than that one.

The feeling sword stick turned out to be an official item.

Du Yujiang took the sword and slashed down fiercely.

Clang——

Accompanied by a sword cry, the sword-testing stick snapped.

Seeing this scene, both Du Yujiang and Na Hou Dong stared wide-eyed, their faces full of surprise.

"Unexpectedly, it was cut off!" Hou Dong couldn't help exclaiming.

Du Yujiang immediately picked up the broken sword-testing stick and looked at it, and then looked at the sword in his hand, it was intact.

"A good sword! It's really a good sword! This is truly the best product with both toughness and softness!" Du Yujiang couldn't help admiring again and again.

He knew very well that this sword was definitely the best sword among all jeweled swords.

He really didn't expect that Wei Yi, who looked like a scholar, turned out to be a talented swordsmith.

And he is so young, the future is truly limitless.

He must be taken, and must be acquired at any cost.

Du Yujiang made up his mind.

The value of Wei Yi in his heart has even surpassed that of the previous three ninth-rank swordsmiths.

He was sure that this son would definitely become a star swordsmith in Qingzhou City in the future.

The fame will be higher than that of Liu Ming.

The sword he forged must be sought after by others.

Although in accordance with normal assessment requirements,

Wei Yi had to forge another sword that could meet the requirements before he could truly pass the test.

But at this time, Du Yujiang was already sure that Wei Yi was absolutely sure.

This sword was definitely not born by accident.

Wei Yi's calm and skillful technique from beginning to end definitely has real strength.

Especially the method of heating the Qiang stone and the sword body together is very worthy of attention.

He even wanted to ask Wei Yi what kind of principle it was.

There is also the method of repeated heating and cooling later.

He had a vague feeling that if he could figure out this kid's technique, it might bring him new inspiration.

Let yourself break through the bottleneck of skill for many years, and step into the ranks of the fifth-rank swordsmith that you dream of.

Thinking of this, Du Yujiang was extremely excited.

Looking at Wei Yi, his eyes were burning like a treasure.
