Holy Swordsmith

Chapter 70 Amazing success rate
when.

Xu Dongyuan made a quick move, quickly pinched the iron ore out, and smashed the hammer towards the iron ore, making a loud noise, officially starting to refine the iron ore.

First quench the iron ore, remove its impurities, refine it hundreds of times into iron, and refine it thousands of times into steel. This is the first step in forging a sword, forging iron.After the iron ore has been smelted into iron blocks, it will start the second smelting process to make a sword embryo, and then polish the sword edge, which is the so-called consecration, and transform into a real sword.

In fact, melting iron ore into molten iron and putting it in a sword groove to condense the sword shape is the simplest casting method, but in this way, the iron ore has not been hammered and quenched, and the quality will not be improved.It is also common for swordsmiths to choose this method, and none of them who have reached the level of master swordsmiths will do so.

"Look, Master Xu has begun to temper."

"What is the leaf stone doing? The iron ore has already burned red. Could it be that it is turning into molten iron?"

The onlookers couldn't help but feel puzzled. It's time. The requirements for taking out the furnace are much stricter than for entering the furnace. Once the iron ore is overheated, it will affect the quality of the iron ore.

Ye Shi curled his lips when he heard the comments around him, and ignored them, how could these people understand his thoughts.Since it was affected by the temperature of the flame at the beginning, it is better to burn the iron ore for a longer time.

Although the impurities will be more difficult to get rid of, as long as the impurities can be removed, the iron nuggets that come out will be better.Only a real swordsmith understands that the harder the iron, the higher its quality. Most of the so-called scrap iron is because the swordsmith is not capable enough to temper it.

And a real swordsmith can remove the impurities, turn a piece of 'scrap iron' into real good iron, and forge a higher quality sword. This is the so-called turning decay into magic.

"It seems that the iron ore is useless."

Many people expressed emotion, seeing that the iron ore has not been taken out for so long, everyone has no expectations for Ye Shi's iron strike this time, and the quality of the iron block affects the quality of the final sword, it seems that there is no need to wait any longer , already knew that Ye Shi lost.

At the same time, many people became suspicious of Ye Shi's acquisition of this honorary guest minister. Although it was Zhang Tao's authority, who he wanted to invite was entirely Zhang Tao's business, but they would not want to waste family resources like this, especially these resources. Not even myself.

Someone has already made up their minds. After the sword casting competition, they must explain the situation clearly to the Patriarch and remove Ye Shi's honorary guest. Perhaps this is still an opportunity to criticize Zhang Tao's status.

"Master Wang, what do you think is going on?" Zhang Tao frowned and asked Wang Hai on the other side.

Of course, Wang Hai would not miss the sword-making competition between two people whose sword-making skills were better than his own. Hearing Zhang Tao's question at this time, Wang Hai also frowned, shook his head at Zhang Tao, and turned his gaze back to Zhang Tao. On Ye Shi.

Zhang Tao sighed, the situation in front of him puzzled him, but it seemed that there was no disappointment in Master Wang's eyes, but some anticipation, what's going on?

"Did you miss it?" Xu Dongyuan was also a little distracted at this time, but he didn't hear the movements in his hands. There was a sound of iron striking. At this time, he was about to complete the hundred exercises. Of course, the hundred exercises were not his limit.

Xu Dongyuan also felt strange about Ye Shi's silence. Judging from the method just now, this Ye Shi should also know how to forge swords, not necessarily very strong, but he should know these common senses.So doing what he is doing now should be done on purpose. Could it be that Ye Shi has such confidence.

The longer the iron ore is tempered, the harder it is to hit. Xu Dongyuan, a master swordsmith, did not dare to over-train, but this young master Ye dared to do it. Could it be possible that he really has that ability?
"That's enough." Ye Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to the thoughts of the people around him at this moment, and took out the red iron ore.

At this time, there was a kind of white smoke on the iron ore, and there were even some signs of melting. Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, this was a piece of scrap iron, because the swordsmith always shook his head when he saw such iron ore. Throw it aside.

Dangdang!

Ye Shi picked up the hammer and quickly smashed it on the iron ore. Immediately there were two crisp iron strikes, one hammer and two rings. Even at this time, Ye Shi did not lose his composure, and only hit one hammer according to his original idea. Two rings.

"Huh?" Suddenly everyone was surprised.

Two strikes with one hammer, this Ye Shi was so lucky, he hit it with the first hammer. You must know that Master Xu is almost two hundred hammers now, and only less than two times of ten hammers.But so what with one hammer and two strikes, scrap iron is scrap iron, if you can't make a good sword, everyone shook their heads.

"Hmph, if they know that Ye Shi can hit four times with one hammer, and can hit three times with one hammer without interruption, let's see if they will show such an expression." Zhang Ling thought with a soft snort.

At this time, because the iron block had already begun to be tempered by the leaf stone, Zhang Ling didn't need to pull the bellows before entering the furnace for the second time, so she just stood there and watched.After seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Ling became a little annoyed.

Dangdang!Dangdang!Dangdang!when!Dangdang...

There was a sound of striking iron, and everyone began to look stunned. Without him, they were shocked by Ye Shi's iron striking. Now it is only nearly a hundred exercises, but more than [-]% of them hit the hammer twice. Compared to Master Xu's success rate of less than [-]%, Master Ye's success rate is frighteningly high.

Among the crowd, the eyes of several swordsmiths were all exposed, and they gradually looked at Ye Shi with admiration.As swordsmiths, they can understand what kind of strength is needed to achieve such a success rate, even senior swordsmiths.

Even Xu Dongyuan, his gaze became much more cautious, his blacksmithing became more cautious, and his character exploded, forcing his success rate to nearly [-]%.In the past, how surprising this should be, but now, it is extremely inferior.

At this time, Xu Dongyuan was already close to [-] refining, and with one hammer and two blows, in fact, this piece of iron was already iron essence. Among the swordsmiths, the one who can make iron essence is at least a fourth-rank swordsmith master.

And Ye Shi only had three hundred trainings now, but counting one hammer and two blows, he was no worse than Xu Dongyuan, what a shocking thing.

However, for Ye Shi's performance, everyone still sighed. If Ye Shi could grasp the timing of the furnace, he might have won, but what is tempered now is a piece of scrap iron, which is a pity.

But Ye Shi, who is the person involved, is also a little depressed, of course not because of the iron block, but because he feels troublesome about restricting the use of skills and occasionally interrupting them.If it wasn't for the sake of not shocking the world, he wouldn't stop his skills suddenly.

"Looking at it this way, it will take at least [-] drills to fully mine the iron ore." Ye Shi thought to himself.
