The significance of recasting old farming tools was mainly to remove the rust, the gaps that had been corroded over the years, and the impurities in them. These things could be removed through high-temperature smelting. But in the same way, the size would be slightly reduced.
Du Feng was not a stingy person. He made up for the missing materials and intended to use them at the cutting edge.
Oh, something seemed to be wrong. When he removed the hoe from the wooden handle and put it into the furnace to smelt, he found that things were not so simple. Uncle Li's hoe looked ordinary, and it was covered in rust. However, the difficulty of smelting it was extremely high.
Yes, the melting point of this metal was particularly high. Fortunately, Du Feng had brought the Medicine King Tripod with him, and he could use it at will in the house. He found that the temperature needed to melt the hoe into molten iron was higher than that needed to smelt middle-grade Divine Emperor ores.
Fortunately, the level of his Medicine King Tripod was high enough, so the temperature could continue to increase. If he felt that the temperature was not high enough, he could continue to increase it by injecting divine power.
Finally, it melted. When he saw the hoe begin to soften and finally turn into molten iron, Du Feng felt relaxed. If it could not be smelted into molten iron, it could not be recast, so he could only soften it a little and beat it forcibly.
Now that it had turned into molten iron, he could change its shape in his own way. But one thing was that he could not put any more middle-grade materials in it. Because the materials used in the hoe were obviously better, of course, he could not put worse things in it.
Such a good material was rusty and corroded. How long had this hoe been used?
After the molten iron was poured into the mold and cooled down, Du Feng couldn't wait to pick it out with pliers, and then put it on the casting table to beat it. It was actually very easy to shape farming tools, much easier than knives and swords, especially for swords. It was very difficult to straighten the spine of the sword.
But farming tools also had its difficulties, because blacksmiths who forged weapons often did not do farm work, so they did not know where the center of gravity of farming tools should be and how to use them smoothly.
But Du Feng was different. He did farm work himself, so he knew how to use farming tools comfortably. Moreover, when he was with Niuer, he had seriously learned about making farming tools. Therefore, during the forging process, it was necessary to constantly adjust the angle.
Normally, farming tools would be completed after they were cast and cooled. Du Feng was a serious person. He repeatedly hammered the farming tools in the cold because this process could increase the hardness and density of the hoe. By the time the forging was completed, an entire night had passed.
The next morning, as soon as Du Feng pushed open the door, Uncle Li was already waiting outside. He kept rubbing his hands together, obviously nervous. After all, he only had one hoe, and the farming tools of a farmer's family were all passed down from generation to generation. If it was destroyed, frankly speaking, it would be quite distressing.
"Uncle Li, it's ready. Please try it."
When Du Feng saw Uncle Li at the door, he passed the hoe in his hand to him. Not only had the hoe been reforged, but even the handle had been polished. He removed the putty from the top, and removed the thorns that were sticking out of it. The handle was modified to be comfortable and easy to use, but it would not feel as painful as the new wooden handle.
"Oh, that's great. I thought it was destroyed."
Uncle Li was a very straightforward person. He was really worried that the hoe would be destroyed. He stood at the door before dawn. The night in the village was very cold. Thanks to the spiritual food he grew up eating, his physique was relatively good.
"Don't worry, it won't be destroyed. If the villagers want to repair any other farming tools, just give them to me. "
Seeing Uncle Li take the hoe and look at it carefully, Du Feng patted his chest and took on the responsibility. If he wanted to get along with the villagers, he had to find a breakthrough point first. Before, when they talked about farming experience, only Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li could listen.
However, repairing farming tools for free could be said to be a good thing to take advantage of, and he believed that the villagers would be interested.
"Hahaha, this time I can compete with Old Liu in hoeing."
In the past, Uncle Li always lost to Old Liu in harvesting. He only won after using the sickle given by Du Feng. This time, after using his new hoe, he would definitely be able to win in the field.
Du Feng smiled knowingly when he heard that. He knew that this time, it would definitely bring about a good result. When Uncle Li's performance in farm work stood out, he would definitely attract the attention of others. When that happened, Old Liu, Old Wang, and the others would all come to him to repair their farming tools.
As the saying went, if you ate from someone else's kindness, they would be too embarrassed to refuse Du Feng's help.
Of course, Du Feng wasn't that eager for quick success, so he didn't immediately ask to farm with the villagers. If he did, people would suspect his motives. In fact, the villagers of Jade Dragon Village were very wary of the foreign Dragons. They didn't participate in martial arts competitions, and they didn't allow outsiders to participate in farm work.
Those Young Masters of the Dragon Clan were not interested in farming, so they had never interacted with each other. Only Du Feng was a little special.
"Did you guys notice? That Du kid has been learning how to farm recently."
"Yeah, I saw it too. Instead of practicing martial arts, he's learning how to farm."
"He's useless. I think he's useless. Let's form a team and train in the back mountain after we break through. I don't think he can go. "
The students who entered Jade Dragon Village in the same batch as Du Feng felt that he was too useless. After learning Truth Observation and True Breathing, instead of training, he learned how to farm. Rumor had it that he even made farming tools for the farmers. If he had such amazing skills, why didn't he make some weapons for the villagers?
"Maybe he has his own ideas."
Yang Wei was more familiar with Du Feng. After all, both of them had a lower Cultivation Level. However, after learning True Breathing, his Cultivation Level had improved as well. He was now at early Divine Emperor Level Nine. If he kept training like this, he would be able to break through to peak Divine Emperor Level Nine.
Peak Divine Emperor Level Nine was a threshold. Once he passed this threshold, he would be able to advance to the next level. This was the so-called One Transformation. There were nine transformations in the Divine Emperor Level, and the first transformation was the first threshold.
Seeing Du Feng hanging out with the farmers instead of training, Yang Wei felt sorry for him. However, this was his own choice. No one else had the right to say anything. Perhaps Du Feng didn't come to Coiling Dragon Realm to cultivate. He just wanted to experience the villagers' lifestyle.
"I advise you to stay away from such a good-for-nothing thing in the future."
Previously, everyone looked down on Yang Wei. Now that his Cultivation Level had improved, Du Feng had become the one being looked down upon.
