The next day, Duan Lingtian once again came to Great Elder Li Huo's residence.
"Little guy, what are you here for this time? Don't tell me you've used up all the thirty thousand taels I gave you yesterday. "
Li Huo was on guard when he saw him.
"Great Elder, I'm not here to ask you for money this time … It's like this, I want you to use your alchemy fire to help me smelt this sword."
Duan Lingtian smiled awkwardly.
As he spoke, Duan Lingtian pulled out the purple short sword in his hand from its sheath.
"This is a sword forged from purple ore, right? Little guy, if purple ore is smelted by my alchemy fire, it will melt into gas and evaporate. After all, it's just ordinary iron. "
Li Huo frowned.
"Great Elder, are you that confident? Why don't we make a bet? "
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Li Huo rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian. This little guy never did anything without benefits, he would not be fooled.
However, he was now interested in the sword in Duan Lingtian's hand.
Could it be that he had misjudged?
Very quickly, Li Huo took the purple short sword.
His elemental energy condensed into a ball of milky white alchemy fire and covered the short sword …
Half an hour passed.
It could be seen clearly.
More than half of the metal on the short sword had melted into gas and evaporated. The remaining part of the purple metal had only turned into liquid.
No matter how much Li Huo strengthened his alchemy fire, it was difficult to evaporate it.
At this time, Li Huo's face was already covered in sweat.
He waved his hand and extinguished the alchemy fire.
He glanced at the solidified purple metal in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him with a face full of shock.
"Little guy, is this a refining material?"
One had to know that the alchemy fire was so strong that it could even melt steel into gas and evaporate …
Only refining materials could not be melted into gas by the alchemy fire!
"That's right."
Duan Lingtian nodded slightly.
"Can you tell me what material this is?"
Li Huo took a deep breath and asked.
"Purple Meteorite."
Duan Lingtian did not hide anything.
"What?!"
Li Huo was shocked.
Although he was only a Grade Nine Alchemist, he had heard of the Purple Meteorite that was regarded as a treasure by Weapon Refiners.
"Little guy, where did you get this sword?"
Li Huo took a deep breath and asked.
"I bought it from our Li family's weapon shop … Speaking of which, it cost me two hundred taels of silver."
Duan Lingtian looked pained.
Two hundred taels?
Li Huo's mouth twitched.
Two hundred taels for such a big piece of Purple Meteorite?
If other Armament Masters were to find out about this, they would probably have the heart to die!
Of course, Li Huo also knew that not everyone could recognize the unrefined Purple Meteorite.
"In that case, the sword just now was forged from Purple Meteoric Iron?"
Li Huo asked.
"I didn't expect Grand Elder to know about the Purple Meteoric Iron."
Duan Lingtian was somewhat surprised.
"I've read in some ancient books that Purple Meteorite is usually hidden in the Purple Meteoric Iron and is very difficult to recognize … Little guy, how did you recognize it?"
Li Huo looked deeply at the youth, as if he wanted to see through the youth.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Duan Lingtian smiled mysteriously and did not answer Li Huo.
"Grand Elder, I still have something to do. Farewell."
Duan Lingtian took the Purple Meteorite from Li Huo and left immediately.
"This little guy, compared to the past, is like a completely different person. Yes, it should be his teacher, the Grade Seven Alchemist's credit. "
Li Huo's cloudy eyes flashed with a bright light as he speculated in his heart.
Duan Lingtian took the Purple Meteorite and left Li Huo's residence. He returned home and did not disturb Kerr who was cultivating in her room. Instead, he asked his mother, Li Rou, to accompany him as they left the Li family mansion.
"Tian 'er, you want the blacksmith to forge this piece of iron into two swords?"
Looking at the Purple Meteoric Iron in Duan Lingtian's hand, Li Rou's face was filled with disbelief.
In her opinion, with the size of this piece of iron, it could only be forged into a dagger at most, and a very small one at that.
"What, mother, you don't believe me?"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Li Rou shook her head.
Soon, the mother and son arrived at the Li family's blacksmith shop.
"Ninth Elder."
As soon as the two entered, someone came up to them and respectfully bowed to Li Rou.
"Is your shopkeeper here?"
Li Rou nodded.
Li Rou had just finished speaking.
"Haha! What a rare guest … Ninth Elder, do you have any orders for our blacksmith shop? "
A burly middle-aged man walked out of the blacksmith shop.
The middle-aged man laughed heartily and arrived in front of Duan Lingtian and Li Rou in a few steps.
"This must be Young Master Ling Tian?"
The middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian and smiled faintly.
"Tian 'er, this is Shopkeeper Long of our Li family's blacksmith shop. All the refined steel swords in the Li family's blacksmith shop are made by him."
Li Rou said to Duan Lingtian.
"Shopkeeper Long!"
Duan Lingtian smiled at the middle-aged man.
"Ninth Elder, you're treating me like an outsider. If you hadn't pleaded with the old patriarch, how could I have continued to stay in the Li family?"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Li Long, it's been so many years. Why bring it up again? I'm here because my son wants to forge two swords and needs your help. "
Li Rou shook her head with a smile.
As she spoke, she looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Tian 'er, Shopkeeper Long is the best blacksmith in the Li family's blacksmith shop. The refined steel swords he forges are famous in Fresh Breeze Town. They are far superior to the refined steel swords made by the other two blacksmiths."
Hearing his mother's words.
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile.
"Young Master Ling Tian, what kind of swords would you like to forge?"
Li Long asked respectfully.
"Shopkeeper Long, I want you to help me forge this piece of metal into two flexible swords. Try your best to forge them to the thinnest extent possible."
Duan Lingtian displayed the fist-sized Violet Meteorite in his hand.
"Flexible sword? Young Master Ling Tian, the material used to forge flexible swords must be tough enough. Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't recognize the metal in your hand. "
Li Long's eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.
Li Rou's shapely eyebrows slightly twitched, and a trace of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
She was very clear about Li Long's ability, but now even Li Long couldn't recognize the material in her son's hand …
It was obvious that this wasn't an ordinary metal.
"Shopkeeper Long, just try to forge it for me. Forge it to the thinnest extent possible."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
What kind of joke was this? On Cloud Continent, there weren't many metals that could compare to the toughness of Violet Meteorite.
The reason why Violet Meteorite was a material sought after by weapons craftsmen was because of its toughness.
"Then I'll try."
Li Long nodded and received the Violet Meteorite.
He was also interested in this metal that even he couldn't recognize.
"Young Master Ling Tian, follow me to the inner room. I have a special forging room."
Under Li Long's lead, Duan Lingtian followed him into an inner room of the Li family's weapon shop.
The forging room was fully equipped.
On the weapon rack at the side, there were many fine steel swords that flickered with a cold light.
Soon, under Duan Lingtian's gaze, Li Long stretched out his hand and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
He then threw the Violet Meteorite in his hand onto the forging table and allowed the flames to burn.
Li Long bent down and started to pull the bellows.
He let the flames burn to the limit …
After an hour, the Violet Meteorite finally showed signs of softening.
Li Long heaved a sigh of relief.
But in his heart, he was indescribably shocked …
Even if it was fine steel, under such a fierce fire, it wouldn't take more than half an hour for it to soften.
As far as he was concerned, this metal was really too strange.
Of course, it also brought him a new challenge, causing his mood to be rather excited.
Soon, Li Long stood up.
Holding the iron hammer, the muscles on his arms bulged and the veins pulsated.
Clang!
The hammer fell, ruthlessly smashing into the softening Violet Meteorite.
Immediately, the Violet Meteorite turned into a pile of 'mud'.
"Such tenacity!"
Seeing this scene, Li Long couldn't help but exclaim.
"Young Master Ling Tian, forging two soft swords is no problem!"
Li Long looked at the youth not far away and smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Long."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Clang!
Clang!
… …
The iron hammer in Li Long's hand fell again and again, quickly splitting the Violet Meteorite into two.
The two sword embryos gradually took shape.
Duan Lingtian, who was watching from the side, looked at Li Long with even more admiration.
When Manager Long forged weapons, whether it was pulling the bellows, controlling the fire, or hammering the metal, it was all done by himself.
Just this alone was enough to show that his forging skills were superb.
Perhaps, it was because of this that he was able to forge the best fine steel sword in Fresh Breeze Town.
Two hours later, the two soft swords in Li Long's hands completed the final step and were completely formed.
Through the flames, one could see that the bodies of the two soft swords were crystal clear and as thin as a cicada's wings.
Weng ~ ~
Li Long raised his hand and took a fine steel sword from the weapon rack at the side.
He swung the soft sword and met the fine steel sword head-on …
Crack!
The fine steel sword broke with a sound, but the soft sword didn't leave a single mark …
The fine steel sword that could cut through metal like mud was like paper in front of the soft sword.
"Good sword!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes brightened.
Li Long's forging skills were so high that it made him gasp in amazement.
Apart from the fact that these two soft swords didn't have the effect of increasing attack power, their other characteristics were almost the same as a grade nine spiritual weapon.
"Young Master Ling Tian, thank you."
Li Long respectfully bowed to Duan Lingtian.
"Manager Long, why are you doing this?"
Duan Lingtian hurriedly returned the bow.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling Tian, for giving me such a precious metal to forge. Until I have a chance to forge better materials, these two soft swords will be the pinnacle of my life's work!"
Li Long said with slight excitement.
Every blacksmith hoped that the weapon they forged would be the best divine weapon.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
… …
Duan Lingtian held the soft sword forged from Purple Meteorite and swung it like the wind.
The weight of the soft sword was almost negligible, making it easier for him to use the Sword Drawing Technique.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
With this Purple Meteorite Soft Sword, his strength would rise to another level.
"Manager Long, do you have a leather scabbard? The kind that can be used as a belt. "
After obtaining the two soft swords, Duan Lingtian looked at Li Long and asked.
"Young Master Ling Tian, if you need this kind of scabbard, I can personally make one for you."
Li Long smiled.
After forging two swords that far surpassed his previous standards, he was in a good mood.
"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Long."
