It was a handwritten book, and it was a book that had just been copied not long ago.
When He Yiming left the He Clan Village, Chu Haozhou sent the book, which contained all his hard work, to him.
According to the old man's irresponsible words, powerhouses above Venerable Ones did not need to start from scratch if they wanted to learn smithing art. As long as they looked at the main points summarized by the old man and practiced more, they would be able to grasp the trick very quickly.
Needless to say, the prerequisite was that one must have talent in smithing.
He Yiming was the person with the most talent in smithing among all the people he had ever met. Moreover, he was also a Venerable One who was proficient in controlling fire mastery.
Under such circumstances, even if he learned by himself, he would definitely become a great blacksmith.
Chu Haozhou said those words himself, but He Yiming was still quite anxious when he received the book.
He knew the reason he left such a deep impression on the old man was because of his special physique. Without the fortuitous encounter at the bottom of the lake in the past, he would not have achieved what he had today.
So far, he still did not know what exactly he encountered that day, nor did he know how many wonderful things had happened to him.
Therefore, he was not too confident about whether he could successfully meet Chu Haozhou's expectations.
Gently flipping open the book, he started from the first page and read it seriously.
The book was written in detail, and the content was simple and easy to understand.
Most importantly, the handwriting inside was quite small. Every word was as small as a fly's head, and it was almost the same as a real fly's head.
Only a powerful cultivator would be able to write such words in a short period of time. If it was an ordinary person, they would not have been able to hold on long ago.
It was evident that Chu Haozhou had put in a lot of effort for this book.
At the beginning of the book, it did not talk about smithing skills. Instead, it used an entire page to describe how to calm one's mind.
According to the old man, if one wanted to go further on this path, one must have both water and fire attributes.
When one used the fire mastery technique to control the smithing process, one must also use the water mastery technique at the same time to maintain the sharpest mind and calmness. This way, no matter what kind of accident one encountered during the smithing process, one could calmly find the best way to deal with it.
This was a requirement that blacksmiths must have.
Needless to say, blacksmiths who were not gifted in the water element would use other methods to stay calm.
However, Chu Haozhou found the simplest method from his own talent and wrote it down without reservation.
He Yiming was very grateful when he saw the information on how to use the Water Cultivation Method to maintain a calm state of mind.
This item was definitely rare, precious, and the most crucial item for blacksmiths. If it fell into the hands of other blacksmiths, they would surely break their scalps for it.
Even if the other party didn't have any water-type talent, they would still be able to comprehend something after reading this chapter.
Chu Haozhou didn't even say a word and just casually stuffed it into his hands. The depth of this friendship really made him feel a burst of fiery warmth.
He Yiming silently recited the incantation in his heart, and the True Qi in his body quietly circulated.
After a while, He Yiming's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then returned to normal.
Nevertheless, compared to before, he was more indifferent this time. It was as if He Yiming had suddenly become a different person and no longer cared about everything in the world.
At this moment, He Yiming felt that it was even more unbelievable.
When he followed the method described in the book and channeled his water-type essential Qi to the extreme, he actually felt like he was floating.
It was a rather strange feeling, and he could even feel that his thoughts seemed to be somewhat disconnected from his body.
Although he could still control his body's every move, all of this showed a kind of dull feeling. His whole person lacked vitality.
The Water-type Genuine Qi seemed to wrap around his heart and thoughts, allowing him to enter a state of absolute calmness.
At this point, He Yiming truly understood the value of this page.
He did not know if Chu Haozhou discovered it himself or if he inherited it from a predecessor. However, it was clear that this technique could be applied to martial arts.
Chu Haozhou had put a lot of thought into writing this technique in the book for him.
He Yiming fell silent for some time before he turned to the second page.
From this page onward, Chu Haozhou talked about his experience in smithing.
Smithing art was also broad and profound. Without practicing and learning for a long time, one would not be able to achieve better results.
Nevertheless, there was naturally a unique teaching method for unique talents.
Chu Haozhou only wrote a short 3-page general outline, which included some of the most basic contents of smithing art. In a way, all of the popular smithing arts at the moment stood out from this general outline.
This general outline was the incantation that all blacksmiths had to recite when they became an entry-level blacksmith.
It did not seem difficult for He Yiming, who was a mighty Venerable One, to recite thousands of words of the incantation. He read it silently, memorizing every single word in his heart.
He knew this was the foundation of all smithing arts. If he did not remember the foundation, he would not be able to reach the Great Accomplishment Boundary in smithing art.
This was the same whether it was the cultivation of martial arts or the art of alchemy.
Two hours later, He Yiming had already memorized all the basic contents in his mind.
Following that, he began to turn to the fourth page.
From the fourth page onward, the content inside was not limited to one pattern.
Other than the introduction of some precious raw materials, the most important record was Chu Haozhou's smithing experience.
He used an example as a model to guide He Yiming on the specific control and things to pay attention to.
In actuality, the control method of the Tempering Art was not complicated, especially for someone of his level.
With his boundary as a Venerable One and the power of the Fire Flower, he had a unique advantage over others if he wanted to refine a sharp weapon for the Divine Soldier.
Chu Haozhou obviously knew this very well, which was why he focused on introducing the selection of raw materials, restraining attributes, as well as various unexpected incidents and how to deal with them.
While recording the process, Chu Haozhou didn't just talk about the process, but also clearly explained the reason why it was done this way.
This was the real key and core.
He Yiming's eyes glowed. He knew if this book was spread out, it would surely cause a sensation among all blacksmiths. Moreover, the book would also be collected by various sects and aristocratic families, and it would be placed in their core libraries.
He Yiming flipped through the pages one by one. After an unknown amount of time, He Yiming finally flipped through the last page.
This was because there was no need to recite the content after the general outline. Moreover, He Yiming read so fast that he could almost understand the entire page with just one glance.
If Chu Haozhou knew that He Yiming had painstakingly written this book in the Great Shen imperial family's Green Bamboo Residence after he discovered He Yiming's talent in smithing, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
The hard work of writing was not something that a reader could imagine.
This was the same whether it was in modern times, ancient times, or in the present world.
After flipping through the entire book, He Yiming placed one of his hands on the book. He closed his eyes and quietly recalled the contents.
Finally, he opened his eyes, which were shining.
Then, he quickly flipped the book to the chapter on material matching.
In this chapter, it was introduced that if one wanted to refine a high-rank Divine Soldier, one must prepare high-rank smithing materials. Moreover, it would be best if these materials had the same characteristics.
Moreover, a small method was introduced here. One could use the same type of essential Qi to test if the relationship between them was compatible.
After seeing this magical testing method, even He Yiming was a little restless.
He rolled his eyes a few times and looked outside the window. The thin fog was still dark and a new day had not arrived.
Once he had some ideas in his mind, He Yiming could not help but want to test it.
Without hesitation, he unbuttoned the front of his clothes and took out the silver ring and necklace.
A surge of True Qi surged in, but in an instant, two empty spaces had already been opened.
He Yiming looked inside for a long time and finally made a decision.
He took out some things in batches, the largest of which was a huge tentacle that had been roasted until it was half-cooked.
Although this tentacle was only a small part of its owner's body, after it was taken out, it was already bigger than He Yiming's body.
He Yiming placed the tentacle flat on the ground. What made him feel incomparably surprised was that this thing had been separated from its owner's body and roasted to such a state. Moreover, after nearly a year, it still contained a powerful life force.
This was something that was absolutely unimaginable before he saw it with his own eyes.
However, it was also because of this reason that He Yiming valued this thing so much.
Next to the tentacle, He Yiming gently put down a fan. This was the Feng Shui treasure fan that he had obtained from Zhu Guanhao's body after killing him.
After hesitating for a while, He Yiming placed a jade bottle next to the fan and the tentacle and opened the bottle cap a little.
Once the cap was opened, a cold aura immediately emerged from inside. Once this aura spread out, the temperature of the entire room immediately dropped rapidly.
However, this cold aura was quite strange. It was limited to a small area next to the jade bottle and didn't spread out. Otherwise, with this degree of cold aura, once it spread out without limit, it would have attracted the attention of countless people.
After arranging these three things, He Yiming stepped forward and stretched out his hand. A thin ripple that couldn't be seen by the naked eye appeared on his hand.
The power of water spread forward, instantly enveloping these three things.
He Yiming's eyebrows slightly raised. He immediately put all of his energy into it, quietly observing the changes.
