After closing the door, Lin Tie paused for a while, then turned around and walked toward his room.
If the inheritance of skills was a spiritual story written by generations of people, then the Smithing Manual was a physical record of the skill's historical changes.
After taking out the cooled finished parts, Lin Tie got busy again and began to assemble the parts.
As the steam appeared, Lin Tie scooped up the fused spiritual iron from the water with a pair of pliers.
First place: Ou Tian (10864 points, completed three rounds of mission)
The first step was folding and forging to increase the toughness of the spiritual iron.
Lin Tie had actually read this ancient book countless times when he was young, but he could not remember many parts of it, so he flipped through it again.
The Blacksmith Ranking had changed drastically at this time.
After reading it carefully for a few times, Lin Tie stood up and began his third round of mission.
Although this kind of equipment with skills could be found in the shop or Tong Gua, the price was extremely high and not affordable for ordinary players. Therefore, when a player forged such a weapon, most players were excited.
Many people might find the name Ou Tian unfamiliar, but there was no one who didn't know of his ancestor. He was the founder of swordsmithing, Ou Zhizi, who had forged famous swords such as Zhanlu, Chun Jun, Evil-Slaying, Yu Chang, and Ju Que.
At this moment, the forum and the regional chat channel were filled with players' discussions. Apart from celebrating the appearance of another professional player, they were also guessing who Ou Tian was and why they had never heard of him before.
As time passed, Lin Tie was fully focused on forging, condensing all his passion into strength and smashing into the metal that was gradually forming along with the hammer.
After the Blacksmith class advancement event was launched, players enthusiastically participated in it, and the event could be said to be very successful.
Although none of his descendants had the same strength and reputation as Ou Zhizi, he had inherited a good swordsmithing skill. Even in this chaotic world where human lives were as worthless as grass, he could rely on his excellent skills to make a name for himself.
With every step he took, his expression became more determined. After all, the past was the past.
Since the first bamboo slip, the Smithing Manual had gone through many revisions. The latest revision was made by his father, and it could be said that it recorded the essence of the Lin Family's smithing history.
Then, he quickly opened the Blacksmith Ranking Panel and began to search for his father's current ranking.
Second place: Hu Long (2542 points, completed three rounds of mission)
The subsequent forging was a physical task, but it was also a technical one.
[Azure Frost Iron (Grade Two)]:
Three hours before the end of the trial, Lin Tie's side was already filled with more than 20 parts for the weapon he wanted to forge, and Lin Tie was still forging with all his might.
Second place: Ou Tian (955 points, second round of the mission)
[Blacksmith Profession Advancement Point Ranking (Remaining time: 2 hours and 54 minutes)]:
Time was of the essence. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tie suddenly thought of something and immediately chose to go offline. He then hurriedly ran downstairs to the storeroom.
Ou Tian wasn't surprised at all that he won first place.
Fourth place: Lin Tie (943 points, second round of the mission)
About half an hour later, Lin Tie's face lit up as he pulled out a book with a blue cover from the pile of books.
Under the calcination of the furnace and the hammering of the Hundred Refinement Hammer, the Spiritual Iron gradually softened and met the requirements for fusion.
After this piece of Spiritual Iron was forged, Lin Tie didn't have time to continue forging, or else he might not be able to complete the third round due to the lack of time. Therefore, Ou Tian, who was also in the second round but had more points than him, attracted Lin Tie's attention.
Therefore, from Ou Tian's point of view, he should have been first in this Blacksmith Trial, because it had been like this since ancient times. He had the skills and the qualifications!
After returning to his room, Lin Tie first took out his phone and took a photo of the entire book and uploaded it to his official account. Then, he logged into the game and opened the photo album to flip through.
"Ou Tian?" Lin Tie muttered.
After a while, Lin Tie's gaze focused on a piece of equipment that matched the picture, and his face instantly revealed an expression of joy.
Lin Nuo, who was at the side, was watching attentively and learning his father's forging skills.
After looking at the ranking, Lin Tie once again focused on the forging at hand.
First place: Ye Shaoqiu (1052 points, completed third round of the mission)
There wasn't much time left, so he had to do his best.
Lin Nuo, who was at the side, finally let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the less than 50 minutes left, he was somewhat glad that he made it.
… …
Because today was the last day of the Blacksmith Trial, the competition for the top 10,000 would also be decided today, so the competition was exceptionally intense. The "ding ding" sound of iron hammers striking the spirit ores could be heard everywhere inside and outside the Mansion of the Underworld.
Therefore, if he only forged according to the template, Lin Tie felt that he might not be able to win.
Looking at the title "Lin Family's Forging Score Volume 2", this was what he was looking for.
Third place: Wu Mu Yu (953 points, completed third round of the mission)
It was obvious that this player named Ou Tian had extremely exquisite forging skills. Lin Tie felt that he had already performed very well in the first two rounds of the mission, but he didn't expect that he would still fall behind in points.
Weapon Special Effect: Moon Slash (Inherent Skill of the Weapon), Moon Essence (Inherent Skill of the Weapon)
There were actually many options for forging.
Lin Tie, who was completely immersed in forging, forgot about the passage of time. Lin Nuo, who was at the side, was anxious but didn't dare to disturb him. He only looked at the remaining time from time to time while observing his father forging.
… …
The fourth part, Gold Plating …
Moreover, in Ou Tian's opinion, the "Sky Moon Blade", which was created with the Spiritual Ores and forging tools in the game, was a peak-level weapon that he had never had before. He didn't believe that anyone could do it better than him.
Although there were many forging templates that could be used as a reference, whether or not one could forge it was a completely different matter.
Spiritual Iron Quality: 93
Especially after seeing the attributes of this weapon, the players let out all sorts of howls, clearly shocked.
"Second grade! Dad, you've forged a second grade Spiritual Iron, and a high quality one at that. "Lin Nuo seemed very excited at the side.
Equipment Attributes: … …
The third part, Ice Quench … …
Many players' accumulated Spiritual Ores exploded at the last moment. Following the appearance of the forged products, the rankings kept changing, and the competition was especially intense.
As the third round of the mission began, Lin Tie took out an introductory forging book and flipped through it. After a while, he fell into deep thought.
Weapon Durability: 2000/2000
Looking at his own ranking, Lin Tie once again focused his attention on the two pieces of Spiritual Iron in his hands. He immediately swung down the Hundred Refinement Hammer. Following the sound of metal colliding, sparks flew everywhere.
[Server Announcement, congratulations to player Lin Tie for forging a purple-quality special item in an innovative way, named "Time Flow"]
Weapons, equipment, large machines, small tools, items, and so on. These were all options. However, after seeing the points of the player named Ou Tian on the ranking board, Lin Tie already felt a sense of crisis.
Beiqi, Mansion of the Dead.
As the storeroom had not been opened for a long time, a gust of dust rushed toward Lin Tie the moment the door was pushed open. Lin Tie could not care less about this, he strode in and started rummaging.
The iron hammer danced in the air once again. Sweat flowed down his forehead and down his back, occasionally dripping on the red-hot iron, making a sizzling sound.
Blacksmith: Lin Tie
Blacksmith: Ou Tian
[Blacksmith Profession Advancement Ranking Board (Remaining time: 23 hours and 46 minutes)]:
Weakness of the item: The quality of the Spiritual Ore is too low, causing the durability and strength of the Time Flow to be too low.
After taking out all the Spiritual Iron that was forged in the previous mission, Lin Tie got busy again.
Strength of the item: Level 2
Meanwhile, the father and son of the Lin Family were also busy here.
Two hours passed quickly. At this moment, Lin Tie suddenly stopped hammering. He took a deep breath and put the last part in his hand into the water with a pair of pliers.
Weapon Details: A purple-quality weapon forged from Cold Iron, Green Cold Iron, and Obsidian Iron.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared this time. He had forged enough Spiritual Iron in the first two rounds. Otherwise, Lin Tie would not have dared to challenge such a difficult weapon that required 32 parts and was almost like a work of art.
…
Introduction of the item: A humanoid battle puppet assembled from 32 individual items. Its body can be flexibly changed and reassembled in battle. It possesses extremely strong destructive power. In the hands of a player who has the corresponding puppet skills, it can kill and kill monsters that are above its level. It is a high-quality puppet weapon!
Lin Tie then walked out of the storeroom with the forging manual. Just as he was about to close the door, his gaze suddenly stopped on the weapons and armors that had accumulated dust for a long time. His expression immediately became complicated.
[Heavenly Moon Blade (Level 50 Purple Weapon)]:
Because he was qualified!
In the last round of forging, Ou Tian arrogantly chose to forge creatively instead of using the template provided in the forging manual. Reality proved that his choice was not wrong. He successfully forged a weapon with a special effect that was different from the template, and he even obtained more than 10,000 points, firmly placing him in first place.
Seeing that his father had already rushed to fourth place, Lin Nuo immediately grinned from ear to ear. However, when he turned to look at Lin Tie, he saw that Lin Tie's eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Metal Details: A grade 2 metal material smelted from 3 pieces of Level 1 Spiritual Ore "Cold Iron". It has a slight cold attribute and is suitable for forging Yin-attribute equipment.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Ou Tian for using a creative method to successfully forge a new purple-quality weapon named Heavenly Moon Blade!]
The third round of the quest could be said to be the most difficult round of the forging quest. The player was required to forge an item himself.
Just as Ou Tian was still immersed in the weapon he had forged, a game notification suddenly appeared.
Since he had decided to fight for first place, and with a strong opponent like Ou Tian around, Lin Tie naturally did not want to forge according to the template. Perhaps innovation was the key to victory.
Third place: Mu Ye (2088 points, completed three rounds of the quest)
At this time, a large number of players had gathered beside a moat outside the Mansion of the Dead.
Although the Land of the Nine Luminaries had officially declared war on Beiqi, the players still had something more important to do before the army of the Land of the Nine Luminaries arrived.
"Chi!"
[Time Flow (Level 58 purple-colored special effect item)]:
The second step was to cover the metal with soil and burn the iron. Cover the parts of the metal that did not require high hardness with the soil, and then heat the metal to a specific temperature. When the red hot metal entered the water, the exposed parts would quickly cool down, while the parts covered with soil would not have an obvious change in temperature. This would cause the hardness to be different from the exposed parts, thus achieving the effect of combining hardness and softness.
Item Durability: 1000 (Repairable)
…
"Wow!" At this moment, the players in the server were in an uproar.
However, what happened next made him dumbfounded. He saw Lin Tie open the menu in the shop, purchase an engraving knife, and start a new round of processing.
Although he was surprised, Lin Tie did not think too much about it. He opened the quest menu and chose to submit the quest. After all, the third round was the key to this trial.
At this time, a game notification suddenly appeared:
[Ingenious Person, Time Flow]
At the northern gate of the Mansion of the Dead, Ou Tian, who was holding the Heavenly Moon Blade, looked at the weapon that was almost like a work of art. He seemed to be obsessed with it.
Looking at the decreasing time, Lin Nuo was extremely restless, like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing in circles.
