Du Feng forged by himself. Because he didn't have a suitable furnace, he used the Medicine King Tripod as a furnace. Although the temperature was very high, it was a little inconvenient to take the molten iron. The sect's forging workshop was different. There were furnaces, forging tables, forging hammers, and fire sources.
The Mountain Fire was different from the Earth Lung Fire. The Earth Lung Fire actually used the heat gathered by the underground magma layer. It opened a hole in the ground and then drew the heat up.
The Mountain Fire was the heat inside the mountain. The heat didn't come from the underground, but from the movement and compression of the mountain and the influence of the fire-attribute spirit vein. The heat surged along the cracks in the mountain and finally broke through a gap. After being collected by the array, it could be used for forging.
Of course, this collection process still required some immortal stones. Using immortal stones to replenish the elemental energy of the array, and then the Mountain Fire could be properly guided into the furnace.
"Hall Master Du, please do what you need to do. We will leave."
Du Feng's face was still quite big. He dominated the forging workshop alone. A bunch of disciples who were working inside, all obediently retreated. Generally speaking, as long as it wasn't the sect master, the deputy sect master, and the four elders who wanted to use the forging workshop, he still had priority as the hall master.
"Well, I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
This time, Du Feng wasn't using the forging workshop temporarily, but for several days in a row. So in the next few days, not only could the other disciples not use it, but it also caused someone to guard the door for him and block others.
Just like that, the others left, and Du Feng walked to the furnace alone. He looked at the array below, then observed the furnace, and then stuffed a few high-grade immortal stones in the corresponding positions. If he wanted to make good use of the Mountain Fire, immortal stones were definitely indispensable.
Unfortunately, he didn't have second-stage immortal stones. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to repeatedly add immortal stones during the forging process. Now he was using first-stage high-grade immortal stones. Almost every time he finished forging a flying sword, he had to add immortal stones, and he had to add a lot of them at a time.
Tsk tsk tsk … Although he made a small profit in the auction house, he still didn't have enough money to spend. Du Feng had already thought it through. When he had the chance, he would go to the Immortal City in the Southern Heaven Realm and earn a sum of money to spend. It would be best if he could find a place to exchange for some Tier 2 Immortal Stones.
The exchange rate of tier-two low-grade immortal stones and tier-one high-grade immortal stones was also 1: 100. However, this was the official rate. If one were to exchange it through the common channels, it would probably be a loss.
After the Immortal Stone was embedded, the furnace did not immediately ignite. Instead, after a short period of time, the formation was activated first. Then, under the attraction of the array, the fire energy in the mountain range was continuously drawn over. After accumulating to a certain extent, it flowed into the furnace.
"Hu … hu …"
The Back of the Mountain Range was truly ferocious. It was as if a giant beast was breathing air into the furnace.
"Good, good furnace!"
Du Feng was in a good mood when he saw this, because he could do as much as he wanted. He took out a pile of ores and threw them into the furnace before closing the thick iron door.
Truly worthy of being the Mountain Fire, truly worthy of being the great furnace of a sect. It was truly different from the small furnace of an individual. In just a short while, the ores were melted into molten iron. However, Du Feng was not in a hurry to pour out the molten iron. Instead, he let it continue to be calcined inside.
After a while, light yellow smoke could be seen coming out of the vent at the top of the furnace. That's right, this was the effect he wanted. Under a high enough temperature, some of the impurities in the ores would be vaporized and then volatilized. In this way, the quality of the forged weapon would be higher.
After the smoke and dust stopped appearing, Du Feng opened the drainage groove and let the molten iron stay. It just so happened to slip into the mold of the sword embryo. When the sword embryo appeared to be in a semi-soft state, Du Feng clamped it onto the forging table and started hammering with the iron hammer.
"I didn't expect Hall Master Du to have such a skill. If I had known, I would have asked him for guidance."
"That's right. Listen to the sound of the hammering and the rhythm. It's obvious that he's an expert."
Du Feng's hammering was not just randomly hammering. There was a technique to forging. The strength and angle of each hammer strike, as well as how long it stayed on the sword embryo, were all things that needed to be paid attention to. Not only must there be a pattern, but there must also be a feeling. This feeling came from the forger's intuition. In other words, it was talent.
"It's a pity that Hall Master Du opened the Formation Sealing Hall. If it was the Forging Hall, we …"
Several disciples who liked to forge felt that it was a pity. Because Du Feng opened the Formation Sealing Hall, those who could become inner sect disciples were also disciples who liked to forge. As for those who liked to forge, only a small portion of them were inner sect disciples. The rest were outer sect disciples.
If Du Feng opened a Forging Hall, they might also become inner sect disciples and enjoy different treatment. It could also be considered as having a skill.
"Why don't we go and apply to the Deputy Sect Master."
"Yes, I also think so. Let's go together and call our junior brothers and sisters."
Du Feng was concentrating on forging in his room and did not know that the disciples outside were thinking about him. One Formation Sealing Hall already had many disciples, but they still wanted Du Feng to open another Forging Hall. The difference between a forging workshop and a Forging Hall was like the difference between an outer sect disciple and an inner sect disciple.
The Sect Master usually did not care about these things. It was usually handled by the Deputy Sect Master with the surname Jin. He was relatively young and did not need to go into seclusion. He was best at dealing with these things.
"Go back, I will consider this matter."
A group of disciples excitedly found the Deputy Sect Master, but they were sent back by the Deputy Sect Master with a few words. Why did this happen? The reason was very simple. Because the Supreme Elder already knew of Du Feng's forging ability and was discussing whether or not to open a Forging Hall.
As long as the Supreme Elder agreed, the Forging Hall would definitely be opened. If they did not agree, it would be useless even if the Deputy Sect Master wanted to open one. Therefore, he simply let the disciples who requested to go back first and wait for the announcement.
"Ever since our Feather Immortal Sect was established, there has never been a single person managing two halls."
The Great Supreme Elder was more old-fashioned and felt that this matter would not work. Although Du Feng's forging ability and formations were not bad, he was still a single person. One person managing one Formation Sealing Hall was enough. They could not open another Forging Hall at the same time.
