Zuo Yi knew that Old Man Lu was secretly laughing at him.
He didn't care at all.
On his path to becoming a powerful expert, Zuo Yi had been laughed at countless times, but in the end, those people could only see his back as he climbed to a higher peak.
Zuo Yi adhered to his beliefs and told Old Man Lu his goal. Now that the two sides had reached an agreement, it was fine.
As for who would benefit from this deal, it had nothing to do with virtue.
Old Man Lu, who thought he had made a big profit, closed the shop and hung up the closed sign. Then, he opened a small door behind the counter and led Zuo Yi in.
Lu Family's Weapon Shop had a front shop and a back shop. The front was the shop that sold weapons and equipment, and the inside was a small sword-making workshop. Stepping in, a wave of heat rolled over!
In the middle of the workshop that was less than 100 square meters, there was a huge smelting furnace. The furnace fire was blazing, and there were piles of firewood and ores on both sides.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A burly man was in front of the smelting furnace, waving a hammer and repeatedly hitting the sword embryo on the anvil. Every time the hammer hit the sword, sparks would fly.
His upper body was bare, revealing his strong bronze muscles. Occasionally, he would be hit by the flying sparks, but he didn't seem to notice.
"Daniu!"
Old Man Lu walked over with his hands behind his back, looking like an old cadre.
The burly man heard him and stopped hammering. He turned around and showed a simple and honest smile. "Master."
Old Man Lu nodded and pointed at Zuo Yi. "This person is here to watch me forge a sword. Stop for a moment."
The burly man quickly said, "Okay."
He looked at Zuo Yi with a bit of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.
Zuo Yi smiled.
"Watch carefully."
Old Man Lu took the hammer from Daniu and showed Zuo Yi the whole process of forging a sword.
He first scooped out red molten iron from the furnace and poured it into a pre-made mold to cool it into a rough embryo. Then, he took it out and placed it on the anvil to repeatedly fold and forge it until the sword embryo was formed.
Although Old Man Lu liked to bluff, he had real skill in the art of swordsmithing. He was extremely adept at wielding the hammer, and his control of strength was almost perfect. He displayed a profound foundation in swordsmithing.
After the sword was completed, it was quenched and then placed on a whetstone to sharpen the edge. Finally, it was fitted with a hilt. A brand new longsword was officially completed!
"Come and take a look …"
Old Man Lu proudly handed the sword to Zuo Yi. "How's my skill?"
As soon as Zuo Yi received the sword, a system prompt immediately appeared in his field of vision: [Refined Forged Iron Sword, 1 + Star Weapon, Validity Period: 365 days, Maker: Master Lu, Price: None]
The entire process took less than half an hour. It was undoubtedly much faster than forging a longsword in the real world.
Zuo Yi saw the same refined forged iron sword in Master Lu's shop last time. The price was 10 points, but the star rating was less. This sword's quality should be better.
"1 star is the lowest level weapon."
Old Man Lu said, "I basically don't make them anymore. Weapons with higher star ratings take a lot longer. If you want to see it, then you'll have to go elsewhere …"
Zuo Yi shook his head and said, "No need."
He spent 5000 points to see Old Man Lu forge a 10 point longsword in half an hour. If it was anyone else, they would definitely vomit blood.
But Zuo Yi already got what he wanted.
"Then I'll give this sword to you."
Old Man Lu laughed as if he was giving Zuo Yi a big bargain. "Consider it a bonus."
He probably earned too much and was a bit embarrassed.
But Zuo Yi put down the longsword and said, "I don't want this sword. Can you give me some iron ore?"
Old Man Lu was stunned. He looked at Zuo Yi like he was an idiot. "What do you want iron ore for?"
"Forget it …"
He didn't wait for Zuo Yi to answer. He waved his hand and said, "It's all iron ore here. Take as much as you need."
Even if Zuo Yi had the ability to carry it all away, it would only be a few hundred points.
"Thank you."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I only need five."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion. Immediately, five pieces of black iron ore flew into the air.
They instantly hovered in front of Zuo Yi and gathered into a tight ball.
Old Man Lu: (⊙ ﹏ ⊙)!
Da Niu: (⊙ ﹏ ⊙)!!
What kind of godly move is this? Invisible Great Grappling Hand? Perfect Grappling Hand ⊙ Dragon Claw Hand?
But an even more amazing scene was yet to come.
Zuo Yi reached out his right hand and held up the ball of iron ore in his palm. A crimson flame suddenly rose and wrapped around it!
The five iron ore melted quickly under the roasting flame. All the impurities were refined and finally condensed into a fist-sized molten iron, like the setting sun on the horizon.
The flame of the smelting ore was silently annihilated. But as Zuo Yi's five fingers moved, the molten iron floating in the air was constantly stretched and reshaped. In less than half a minute, it was shaped into an exquisite fish-intestine dagger!
In the eyes of Old Man Lu and Da Niu, this scene was like magic.
Although the intranet was a virtual world, many things had to follow the principles of reality. For example, when they forged a longsword, they had to follow the forging skills in reality. It was just that the time needed was greatly reduced.
Other things like tailoring and making tools were the same.
However, Zuo Yi had used a miraculous and extraordinary forging method, completely subverting their common sense!
Patter.
The fully formed fish-intestine dagger fell into Zuo Yi's palm.
Zuo Yi inserted the dagger into the bucket and quenched it. He then took it out and sharpened it on a whetstone.
After a few dozen sharpenings, the two sides of the dagger were already shining with a cold light and incomparably sharp!
Zuo Yi raised the fish-intestine dagger and looked at it. Then he handed it over to the dumbstruck Old Man Lu.
He smiled faintly and said, "Master Lu, please advise me."
Old Man Lu looked at the dagger in a daze and didn't dare to take it. It felt very unreal.
It was his disciple who came back to his senses and gave his master a gentle push.
"Uh …"
Old Man Lu seemed to have woken up from a dream!
He subconsciously wiped his hands on his clothes and took the fish-intestine dagger with some fear and trepidation.
Fish-Intestine dagger, 2-star weapon, validity: 1800 days, maker: Zuo Yi, price: none.
A 2-star weapon!
Old Man Lu was stupefied again.
Under normal circumstances, a weapon forged from normal iron would at most be a 1-star weapon.
However, he knew that under extremely rare circumstances, ordinary iron materials could also be forged into a 2-Star grade of the highest grade — Skipping Star Grade.
This kind of situation could only be encountered by chance. Moreover, the requirements for the swordsmith were very high. Not everyone could encounter it!
Old Man Lu had forged hundreds and thousands of 1-star weapons. It was easy for him to forge a 1-star weapon. However, he had only encountered a 1-star weapon and it had never happened again.
He still remembered the excitement and excitement at that time. It was the excitement of reaching the peak of one's life.
He had also kept that 1-star weapon and treated it as a treasure!
In the end, Zuo Yi had only seen him forge a longsword and then forge a 2-star dagger with the same iron material.
Moreover, this dagger had a validity of 1800 days!
The validity of a weapon was equivalent to its durability. The more it was used, the faster it would be consumed. If it wasn't used, it would also lose durability.
The 1-star weapon he forged only had a durability of 365 days. Zuo Yi's weapon was four times longer than his.
Old Man Lu felt that he had lived his entire life in vain!
The things he was most proud of in his life were all shattered in an instant!!
At this moment, Old Man Lu's heart was dead. He respectfully returned the fishbowel dagger to Zuo Yi and said in shame, "In front of you, how could I dare to call myself a master. I am ashamed!"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Senior is too polite. If it wasn't for your demonstration, I wouldn't have been able to grasp the method of forging weapons in the inner web."
Zuo Yi was speaking the truth. He was a legendary level master blacksmith and was an expert in forging weapons and equipment.
Previously, he didn't understand the rules of the inner web.
Through Old Man Lu's demonstration, he easily understood the profundity of it.
As long as he grasped the rules, the process was trivial.
Although Zuo Yi used his own methods to complete the forging of the fishbowel dagger, it wasn't fundamentally different from what Old Man Lu had done.
The second update was delivered.
