Chapter 72: Shui Han is born
"Build another one, quickly!" Madam Xu and the sword-making disciples could not help it and urged disciple Mo Bian to build another blast furnace.
They are going to witness the appearance of the first iron tool. If it is as tough as bronze, it will be a new milestone in the history of swordsmiths. They will witness history and even go down in history.
For the sake of a little money, Mo Bian's disciple was also very helpful. He used the power of the Five Dings to split a mountain, and without paying attention to his cultivation, he cut stones and piled up earth to build a large and stable ten-meter-high blast furnace.
"Light it up, light it up!" Madam Xu put her hands in her pockets, her heart trembling with excitement, and ordered her disciples to throw in the burning charcoal.
The chimney of the blast furnace emitted truly snow-white smoke, and everyone's eyes were focused on the changing color of the flames in the furnace.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Madam Xu was in charge of watching the fire, while disciple Mo Bian was in charge of adjusting it.
The bronze was refined first, and then when the temperature was high enough, it was given to other disciples to make swords. Madam Xu carefully added iron ore, and then carefully asked disciple Mo Bian to raise the temperature again until the iron ore was burned red and separated.
"It really works!" Mrs. Xu personally took action to fuse the iron ore into an iron lump, and then asked Jin Yao to swing the hammer and try to make the first iron sword.
"I always feel that my position is becoming unstable!" Six-Fingered Black Knight thought silently.
He was sure that if iron tools really appeared, the Mohist sword-making lineage would all turn to Jin Yao.
"Too soft!" The iron sword appeared, but it was too soft and not as tough as bronze.
"It's okay, it will be fine after a few more tries. I'm not experienced this first time, so I'll be fine after a few more tries."
"Harder, harder, that's right, harder!"
"Faster, faster, faster!"
"Ah~ I'm going to die, I'm going to die~"
"Ah~ It's broken!"
…
Looking at the broken iron sword, Jin Yao and Madam Xu looked at each other in silence.
"It's okay, just explore slowly, we're on the right direction!" Mrs. Xu was not discouraged, and started again. Iron ore was worthless , and she had as much as she wanted. She would always be able to test out the most perfect temperature and alloy.
Jin Yao completely became a blacksmith, and Mrs. Xu stayed outside the blast furnace every day to study what to add to refine the most suitable iron alloy for sword making.
Every day the sound of clanging iron could be heard from the sword-making workshop, and no one could care about these two crazy guys. After all, one was a member of the royal family, and the other was the chief debater. Who would dare to stop them?
Even Master Xu was slapped when he went to persuade his father, and no one dared to go there again since then.
The extreme cold is called severe cold, and all things go dormant!
Heavy snow fell in the Mohist headquarters, where it was spring all year round. The snow covered the entire Mohist headquarters, and the sky and the earth were all white.
"Something's wrong. Why is it so cold this winter?" Mo Bian's disciple, who was studying temperature, frowned as he looked at the changes in the newly invented thermometer. The temperature of this year's Great Cold was higher than in previous years.
Even though they all had internal strength, they still had to wear fur coats to keep warm.
"Something is not right!" In the sword-making workshop, Master Xu was very angry. The temperature changes outside affected their sword-making.
"What's going on?" Master Xu rushed out of the sword-making workshop in a rage, wanting to see who was causing trouble, and even looked up at the sky.
"Are you so tough?" Jin Yao was stunned when he saw Mrs. Xu looking up at the sky, trying to challenge the heaven.
This is directly challenging God!
"It's the Sword Pond!" Master Xu suddenly remembered something. The temperature change came from the Sword Pond.
"Hmm?" Madam Xu looked at Jian Chi with unfriendly eyes. It's bad enough that you suppress Shui Han from coming out into the world, but now you dare to interfere with my iron smelting. Do you really think I have a good temper?
"Shui Han is about to be born!" Master Xu hurriedly stopped his father. He felt that a famous sword was about to be born.
"Ah~ I almost forgot!" Mrs. Xu's momentum faded, and then she realized that it was indeed a sign of the birth of a famous sword.
The God-Slaying disciples outside the Sword Pond could not withstand the sudden drop in temperature and had to withdraw from Xu Yuan. Originally, the wooden door of the Sword Pond was covered with frost, but now it was sealed with ice.
"Clang~" A dragon roar shook the entire Mo family mechanical city.
"It's born!" Madam Xu suppressed the demon sword Shark Tooth. The induction between the famous swords made her very clear that a famous sword was born.
Not only the Demon Sword Shark Tooth, but all the famous swords in the Mohist headquarters were trembling, sensing the birth of a new famous sword.
"It's Shui Han!" The six-fingered black knight looked in the direction of the sword pool. After such a long time, he finally came out.
"Kara~" The wooden door of the sword pool was cracked and shattered by the ice, and a man in black and white walked out from it, holding an icy white and azure sword that looked particularly dazzling in the sun.
"Successful?" Master Xu looked at Lan tremblingly, and asked nervously and expectantly.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Lan smiled slightly, held the Shuihan Sword horizontally, absorbed the cold air emitted from the sword body, and handed it to the swordsmith with both hands.
Master Xu stretched out his trembling hand to take the cold sword, and stroked it gently, as carefully as if he was stroking the body of his lover.
"The cold air has reached its extreme, the Great Cold has come into being, against the water cold!" Master Xu felt the coldness of the Shuihan Sword and understood why it came into being at this time.
Dahan is the coldest day of the year, and the Shuihan Sword was chosen to be born on this day, representing that he has transcended Shuihan and become Nishuihan!
"In the list of famous swords, Shui Han will also be ranked in the top ten!" The six-fingered black knight appeared, feeling the extreme coldness brought by the Shui Han sword, and sighed.
The original Shui Han should not have been so powerful, but because Lan combined his own perception with the power of heaven and earth, he pushed Shui Han to a new level, becoming a top-notch sword among famous swords.
"Try the sword's edge!" said the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
Master Xu also nodded and handed the Shuihan sword back to Lan, asking him to try the power of Shuihan.
Lan took the sword and suddenly swung it at Jin Yao. Before the sword stopped, cold air came first. A cold air instantly condensed from the ground to form an ice path, directly freezing Jin Yao's feet.
"You're trying to mess with me too!" Jin Yao was stunned. It's fine if you have a love-hate relationship with me, but I have no grudges against you, so why do you want to experiment on me?
"Very strong!" No one cared about Jin Yao. Everyone looked at the Shui Han sword. Without mobilizing too much internal energy, the sword energy alone was enough to freeze a fifth-level master. It can be seen how powerful Shui Han is.
"Congratulations!" Mrs. Xu smiled and patted her son on the shoulder. By forging a famous sword by himself, he can truly join the ranks of sword-making masters.
Master Xu's eyes were red. After so many years, he finally proved himself and was truly recognized by his father and the Xu family.
As the son of the world's number one swordsmith, he is called the Sword Master because of his father's reputation. Now, he can finally prove that he is not relying on his father's halo, he is also a true swordsmith master!
"Congratulations!" Six-Fingered Black Knight and others also understood Master Xu's situation. Both of his parents were sword-making masters, and he was born into the Xu family, a sword-making family. It is conceivable how much pressure Master Xu is under.
