A gentle breeze blew in from the open door.
The breeze seemed to have stirred up a pool of stagnant water, causing the dull atmosphere in the room to disperse.
Over 10 Venerable Ones looked in one direction and witnessed the entire process of Ai Wenbin drawing his sword.
With that, they saw it.
It was a black longsword. From the beginning to the end, there was not the slightest bit of light.
Anyone who saw it at first glance would think that it was an ordinary sword.
Needless to say, He Yiming had boasted that he had successfully smithed a sharp weapon for the Divine Soldier. As such, the longsword was at least the lowest-ranked sharp weapon for the Divine Soldier.
Ai Wenbin caressed the sword's body with his hand and sensed the most direct feeling from the longsword. His face changed all of a sudden.
Being a formidable Venerable One, he did not know smithing art, but he had the most intuitive feeling about the quality of a sharp weapon for the Divine Soldier.
Based on what he sensed at the moment, while the longsword given to him by He Yiming did not look magical, he had a feeling that it was not simple at all.
In particular, when his fingers touched the sword's body, the feeling became more intense.
He looked up and asked in confusion, "Brother He, this sword doesn't seem to be an ordinary sharp weapon for the Divine Soldier."
Fang Cheng and the others were taken aback, but the feeling of looking at it with one's eyes and touching it with one's own hands were completely different. No matter how capable a person was, they would not be able to see anything from this pitch-black sword.
He Yiming grinned. He knew he could not hide it from these experienced people. Nonetheless, he did not plan to hide anything, thus he said openly, "Brother Ai, why don't you test this sword's toughness?"
Ai Wenbin nodded slightly. He raised his hand and a stream of mist flashed out. However, in just an instant, it had turned into a rod.
Following that, he struck the rod hard against the black sword in his hand.
A deep sound was heard, but it sounded like it directly echoed in everyone's hearts.
Everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. They were all truly experienced experts, so they could naturally hear the deep meaning contained in this voice.
Although Ai Wenbin's Divine Soldier wasn't a top-notch Divine Soldier weapon, it was still quite famous. Especially with the support of his own powerful Wood Elemental Cultivation Method, the power he could unleash was no small matter.
And the iron sword in his hand, no matter how one looked at it, was just the worst Divine Soldier's weapon.
However, when the two Divine Soldier weapons came into contact with each other, they felt as if they were evenly matched, which was unbelievable.
Ai Wenbin's eyes twitched. "Its hardness?"
He Yiming smiled proudly and said, "Brother Ai, you don't have to worry about its hardness. Even if it encounters an imitation of the Divine Soldier, it can still resist a little."
Li Jiangfeng suddenly took two steps forward and asked, "Brother He, can you let me take a look at the sword?"
He Yiming smiled casually and said, "Go ahead."
Ai Wenbin turned the longsword upside down and pointed the hilt at Li Jiangfeng as he handed it to him.
After Li Jiangfeng thanked him, he carefully touched the treasure sword with a fervent look in his eyes. After a long time, he looked up and said seriously, "This sword is definitely not an ordinary one." Following that, he looked at He Yiming and expressed sincerely, "If I'm not mistaken, Brother He definitely used more materials than the ones that you mentioned when he smithed this sword."
He Yiming's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He really didn't expect to meet a great expert here.
He smiled and gave Li Jiangfeng a thumbs-up. "Brother Li, you have a good eye. I did add something in. Can you guess what it is?" He asked with a smile with his eyes squinted.
Li Jiangfeng hesitated for a while before he answered, "I have a set of detection methods, but if I accidentally break the sword …"
He Yiming laughed involuntarily, and said, "If this sword is damaged, then this He will go and forge another one."
Li Jiangfeng was very confident about the treasure sword. As long as Li Jiangfeng did not ask his daughter to burn the Nine Dragons Cauldron replica, how could the Divine Soldier, which had been fused with black iron, be damaged so easily?
Even without the support of essential Qi, it could not be destroyed by detection methods.
Hearing He Yiming's confident words, the expression on Li Jiangfeng's face became increasingly solemn. At this point, he was certain that the Divine Soldier was not of the worst quality.
After He Yiming added some materials, it was considered a very powerful Divine Soldier.
At the very least, it was definitely so in terms of hardness.
Li Jiangfeng lowered his head and looked at the Divine Soldier in his hand. His hands turned slightly red as he touched the sword again.
He Yiming channeled essential Qi into the Divine Soldier in the beginning, so Li Jiangfeng naturally could not channel his essential Qi into the weapon. Even so, it did not affect him from using a bit of power to move the sword slowly on its surface.
Li Jiangfeng furrowed his eyebrows after some time. He could sense that there was a peculiar metal inside, and there was no doubt about the metal's mightiness.
Needless to say, Li Jiangfeng did not come up with only one result. It seemed like the Divine Soldier had a unique ability, but it could not be seen through the detection method.
Everyone else looked at him quietly. As a disciple of the Liuli Cave, Li Jiangfeng was indeed involved in smithing art.
He was far from being able to smith a Divine Soldier, but he had an effective way to identify the Divine Soldier.
After a long while, Li Jiangfeng's lips moved slightly. With an extremely soft voice, he muttered the names of a few materials to himself, but they were all rejected one by one.
All of a sudden, a bright light burst out from his eyes.
He looked up and exclaimed, "Black Iron …"
The crowd was in an uproar as soon as he said that.
Black Iron was a rare item for top-notch sects, but it was not like they did not have it at all.
Despite that, due to the scarcity of it, they had to be extra careful every time they used it. Moreover, they would not use it unless they were left with no choice.
As for the weapon in Li Jiangfeng's hand, its main material was only some precious but far from rare materials.
If someone were to throw a treasure like Darksteel into it, then in everyone's eyes, that person would be no different from a madman.
Li Jiangfeng thought the same at first, which was why he named a few different materials one after another. In the end, he was certain, but even he was very doubtful about the result.
He Yiming was shocked. Sure enough, there were many capable people in the world, where someone could even detect black iron. Fortunately, Li Jiangfeng did not name the Dragon Snake's Horn, or He Yiming would have a headache.
Ai Wenbin asked in confusion when he saw He Yiming's expression, "Younger Brother Brother He, did you really mix black iron into it?"
He Yiming smiled bitterly. "Brother Li, you have a good eye. He actually saw through it."
Ai Wenbin opened his mouth and looked regretful. In the end, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He, it's a waste."
There was a sense of disappointment in his voice. From this, it could be seen how dissatisfied he was with this.
If Ai Wenbin did not know that the black iron belonged to He Yiming, he would have had the urge to curse out loud.
Needless to say, the other people were gloating over Ou Yangming's misfortune.
They did not know if it was a blessing or a curse for such a powerhouse to appear in a sect.
He Yiming shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a waste at all."
Ou Yangming wanted to learn smithing art because his biggest goal was to fuse the 6 water-related items together.
For the final goal, using a bit of black iron and the Dragon Snake's Horn would not be a big deal at all.
Jin Zhanzheng approached He Yiming and asked, "Brother Li, can you let me take a look at it?"
Li Jiangfeng tossed the longsword to Jin Zhanzheng. He pondered for a while and said, "Brother Jin, this longsword might have other wonderful uses, but forgive me for being clumsy, but I can't be sure."
Jin Zhanzheng turned the longsword around and looked at it for some time. He had a strange look on his face as though he loved it so much that he could not put it down.
At last, he looked up and asked, "Brother He, Younger Brother Li, are you planning to smith this sword as the second Divine Soldier Sharp Weapon for the Light Transformation?"
Everyone tensed up when they heard him, and they pricked up their ears. Even the 3 experienced Venerable Ones did the same.
He Yiming could not help but laugh. "Brother Jin, you must be joking. This Divine Soldier is only my first practice, so how can it be the Light Transformation Divine Soldier?"
Everyone looked at him with a strange look in their eyes. He had successfully refined a divine weapon on his first try. If they waited for him to become more proficient, they really didn't know what kind of weapon he would be able to refine.
Nonetheless, He Yiming was the only one who knew that the biggest reason for his success was not his ability and talent. Most of the credit belonged to the Nine Dragons Furnace. Without the divine tool's special space and the 3 Fire Dragons' selfless help, his success rate would be less than 30%.
Jin Zhanzheng nodded and suddenly said, "Brother He, I want this Divine Soldier Sharp Weapon."
Everyone was stunned. Before He Yiming could say anything, Ai Wenbin asked, "Brother He, what do you want this Divine Soldier for?"
Jin Zhanzheng answered seriously, "I want to use this weapon as the second Divine Soldier that I carry around."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became strange again.
Jin Zhanzheng spoke in a general manner, but as long as one was not a fool, one could understand what he meant. He wanted to use this black Divine Soldier Sharp Weapon as the Light Transformation Divine Soldier to advance to the Five Qis Unification.
If it was a lone cultivator like Deng Yichen, he might have made a similar choice out of helplessness.
However, Jin Zhanzheng was not an ordinary person. He was the most promising Venerable One in the next generation of the Divine Wind Palace. The Divine Soldier Sharp Weapon of the number one sect in the East was at his disposal.
Despite that, his choice was so unexpected that the others found it hard to believe.
