Chapter 113 Whose Dagger is It for?
Chapter 113 Whose Dagger is It for?
Spiritual core! Inlay!
Moreover, there is a wealth of knowledge in Aotian’s inheritance. He understands it very well, but he has never tried it!
After Xu Gun finished speaking, he thought for a moment, turned around, went to the shelf and opened a small door. Dozens of small wooden boxes were neatly stacked inside the small door.
After looking for a long time, the old man took one down, closed the small door, turned around and handed the wooden box in his hand to Qin Feng.
"This is a level 7 wind-attributed Windward Pheasant spirit core. Although this Windward Pheasant has little attack power, its agility is among the best among spirit beasts. Using it on a dagger will not produce any violence, but only increase agility."
Qin Feng did not take it, his face darkened:
"Excuse me, Master, how did you get this spirit core?"
"Why do you ask this?"
Qin Feng was so cold:
"I would rather not hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit cores!"
The old man was stunned, then burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha! Qin Feng, ah Qin Feng. They say people with the surname Qin are friendly to spirit beasts. It's true. Don't worry!"
After saying this, the old man opened the small cabinet again:
"These spirit cores are all from my private collection. When it comes to hunting spirit beasts, I'm not that mean. I robbed all of these! Of course, I don't know how they got these spirit cores. Haha! Windward pheasants are very common. To put it bluntly, they are just wild game that is often available in restaurants. It's just that the seventh-level spirit core in your hand is relatively rare! Why, don't you want it?"
Qin Feng thought for a moment, Oh! Isn't this a pheasant? It doesn't matter, I'll just give it up. But this old man is stingy enough to give me a pheasant spirit core!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's eyelids fluttered:
"Thank you, Master!"
After that, he came to the forging table and placed the dark cloud iron on the smelting table.
"Master, I have no problem melting the spiritual weapon into shape, but this inlay is my first time, so I need your guidance!"
Xu Gun nodded:
"of course!"
Qin Feng closed his eyes, and the process of smelting the dark cloud iron and embedding the spirit core flashed through his mind!
"Dark Cloud Iron, weapon spirit is violent, the best flame temperature is 1,730 degrees. It will liquefy in half an hour and condense into shape, and solidify in another quarter of an hour at 1,300 degrees, and solidify again in another quarter of an hour at 670 degrees, and then cool naturally after the fire is extinguished!"
"Two daggers made of six pounds and four ounces of spirit stone, each weighing three pounds and two ounces, with a blade two fingers wide and four inches long. The handles have grooves and spirit cores embedded in them. The 630-degree excitation attribute is integrated with its weapon spirit."
Moreover, the knowledge reserves that Aotian's inheritance brought him were very detailed. Although there were slight differences due to the different materials, as long as he thought about it carefully, he would be able to understand everything.
After reciting it in his mind, Qin Feng opened his eyes, stared at Wu Yuntie, and pointed his right hand forward:
"go with!"
A ball of blazing green flame instantly enveloped it.
The temperature rose sharply to 1,730 degrees and then stabilized.
To ensure an absolute constant temperature, one needs to devote all one's heart and soul. A slight fluctuation in mental strength may cause the temperature to fluctuate, affecting the formation of the spirit weapon and even the integrity of the weapon spirit.
Perhaps a slight mistake will not have a big impact on the finished product, but with Qin Feng's character, he will never tolerate himself making the slightest mistake. What he pursues is the ultimate, perfection!
This stubborn spirit made him stand still, his eyes fixed on the dark cloud iron in the furnace. With the addition of mental power, every change of the dark cloud iron was under his control!
In this way, after half an hour, the dark cloud iron had already liquefied. Qin Feng urged his mental power to control the blue flames that wrapped around the dark cloud iron like raising his two hands, and with the patterns on the blade of the Damascus steel knife in his mind and the shape of the dagger, he smoothed the sticky black liquid into shape, forming two nine-inch long dark black daggers, and then adjusted its cloud patterns bit by bit.
The molding stage cannot take too long and must be fast, accurate and stable.
The daggers took shape, and Xu Gun was a little stunned. Although the two double-edged daggers in front of him looked like daggers, the hand guards and handles were a little different. In particular, except for the wide spiritual stone grooves on the handles, the rest of the handles were scale-like patterns. The most peculiar thing was that the middle of the dagger blade was actually hollow, and the edge of the long hollow was slightly curled inward.
This was too strange, he couldn't understand it!
Finally it was perfect, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Continue to control the flame temperature and slowly drop it to 1,300 degrees to stabilize. A quarter of an hour later, Qin Feng continued to control the fire temperature to drop to 670 degrees and stabilize it.
Xu Gun, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. He was deeply attracted by Qin Feng's precise temperature control technique.
Temperature control is something every blacksmith is very good at. But which top masters like Feng Huzi and Madam Xu don't have some secrets? These are all unique secrets that are not passed on.
Qin Feng inherited this fire and temperature control method from Qie Aotian. This is a unique control method that can only be passed on through the blue flame. So it is true that "it can only be understood but not expressed in words."
Of course, Xu Gun also has this unique skill, which can only be passed down because he is the descendant of Mrs. Xu!
The dagger's internal structure has become more sophisticated after being reshaped at 670 degrees, and its flexibility has been fully stimulated.
When the time came, seeing the perfect dagger in his mind take shape, and sensing the infinite vitality of the weapon spirit, Qin Feng quickly turned off the fire and let it cool down naturally.
It took an incense stick of time to cool down. Neither of them spoke a word. They were staring at the pair of daggers that were completely black with slightly cloud patterns. It seemed that they were not weapons but works of art.
"Master, the spirit core!"
Xu Gun then came to his senses and raised his hand to place the spirit core in his hand next to the dagger.
"Fire!"
The blazing blue flame appeared again and enveloped the spirit core!
Controlling fire at 630 degrees is very easy, and splitting the spirit core into two is not difficult either. The difficult part is how to split the spiritual energy secrets in the spirit core. Qin Feng searched through his memory but could not find the answer!
"Master, how do I split this Spirit Core Secret Technique into two?"
Xu Gun finally let go of the anger in his heart. "Good boy, you asked me! The old man Feng Huzi never understood this point, so he would not pass it on casually. My old man is the best in the world at this!"
"Hahaha! This isn't difficult. Why don't you summon its weapon spirit and fuse it with the spirit of the spirit core before separating them?"
Xu Gun was very proud after he finished speaking. "Hehe! I can tell you the basics, but two-handed weapons have their own characteristics. This is a secret technique, so I can't tell you everything!"
Qin Feng suddenly realized:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
When he merged the two spirits, he frowned. "Two daggers, with the same secret skills? Let me think, let me think! Dual weapons? Liu Bei's two-handed sword is the same length, but one is for attack and the other for defense. Gongsun Da Niang's two-handed sword is one long and one short, the long sword attacks and the short sword defends. The Japanese Yagyu double sword style is the most famous, one long and one short, and the way to use it is also the long sword attacks and the short sword defends. So what about the two daggers?"
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's brows relaxed and he had the answer in his heart!
Qin Feng summoned the two spirits to fuse, and then used fire as a knife to split the spirit core into two. After the two spirits were fused, Qin Feng did not separate them, but directly integrated the two spirits into a dagger, and then inserted the two halves of the spirit core into the grooves of the two hilts and continued to smelt.
Seeing this, Xu Gun asked:
"You are like this, you have no spiritual energy at all!"
Qin Feng smiled:
"Two-handed weapons have their own functions, and different weapons have different functions. I think the person who can use these two daggers must be agile, and usually he will kill with one strike. Instead of separating them and weakening their abilities, it is better to focus on maximizing their attributes. Spiritual weapons are specialized, and ordinary weapons are defensive. They complement each other and balance offense and defense."
"Then why don't you embed the entire spirit core into a dagger?"
Qin Feng grinned and laughed:
“It looks good!”
"Looks good? That's right!"
"Let me ask you, what does it mean that your dagger is hollow? Does it look good?"
Qin Feng remained silent. After the dagger had cooled completely, he raised his hand, grabbed the dagger and handed it to Xu Gun:
"Master, please give it a try!"
Xu Gun took the dagger, looked at it, and suddenly waved his hand. The dagger flashed a black light and made a very subtle sound of breaking through the air!
"Ah! How can the sound of the sky breaking be so small?"
Qin Feng smiled:
"In fact, this is the effect of the hollow space. When the blade cuts through the air, it will produce a sound of breaking through the air. This is unavoidable, but the air fluctuations generated can be absorbed through the gap in the middle, minimizing the sound of breaking through the air. Especially for weapons like daggers, it is best to make them as silent as possible!"
Qin Feng said it simply, but the key point is that the hollow opening is slightly inward, but he didn't say it. Without the inward roll, the sound will be louder. This may be a little selfish of him, or he still doesn't quite trust the Master Xu in front of him.
