Chapter 335: Casting a Sword
Xiao Buming was a little unhappy, "Fellow Daoist Shu, where have you been?"
"I met a blue gold fish at the bottom of the water and was swallowed into my belly. I was trapped for a few days before I came out..."
Zhou Shu briefly explained a few sentences.
Xiao Buming was thoughtful, and then asked suspiciously, "Fellow Daoist Shu encountered a monster like Lapis, why didn't he send a message?"
Zhou Shu showed a slight apology, "This is Mr. Xin's explanation..."
"I see," Xiao Buming nodded slightly, "As long as it's okay, we'll go out. Sorry, fellow Daoist Shu, you still have to cover this gray spirit gauze."
Zhou Shu would not object and the others would not mention it when they returned.
A few hours later, Zhou Shu appeared in the useless man's hut in the East China Sea.
"Thanks to my father-in-law's care, we have obtained the lapis lazuli water."
After Zhou Shu saluted, he handed the Frightened Salamander Sword back to the old man with both hands.
The old man nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction flashed on his face, "Beyond my expectation, you did a good job."
Zhou Shu looked respectful and lowered his hands without saying a word.
The satisfaction on the old man's face became more and more obvious, "Then from today on, you can improve that heavy gold sword by yourself. I will give you guidance on the side, but it mainly depends on yourself."
"Thank you, husband!"
Zhou Shu thanked him sincerely. Being able to get a good enough and convenient fourth-level flying sword at the beginning of the Pulse Condensation Realm was indeed a satisfying thing from the bottom of his heart.
"The effectiveness of lapis lazuli can only last for two months, so the sword cannot be made for more than two months. You must hurry up." The old man's face looked slightly solemn. He raised his hand slightly and a cave was revealed underground. "Here is the old man.
The sword-making room back then will be given to you for use in these two months."
Looking at the cave at his feet, the old man sighed softly and couldn't help but shake his head. His face showed a bit of yearning, but also a lot of regrets. The dusty sword-making room had once carved many of his glory, and he had the most beautiful thing in his life.
time. But he could no longer use it. He thought he would never use it, but he didn't expect to be able to open it again, which made him very sad.
Seeing the old man's expression, Zhou Shu seemed to feel something. He nodded and said, "It is an honor for this junior to be able to use my father-in-law's sword-making room."
"This sword-making room never comes out with rubbish. Don't let me down."
The old man nodded slightly. "Go down."
When the two of them entered the cave, the entrance was immediately closed, as if it had not been opened.
The sword-making room is huge and extremely exquisite. It is hard to imagine that there is such an open and wonderful space under the small house.
It is full of spiritual energy. Looking for its source, there is a spiritual spring of at least three levels spurting out from a corner. The spring water flows meanderingly and surrounds the entire sword-making room. Four sword-washing pools with a radius of more than ten feet are neatly placed around it.
The water in the pool is either green or milky white, which is extraordinary, and there are three golden stoves with a height of two feet. The surroundings are filled with smoke, as if they are still burning. Beside the stoves, dozens of dark anvils are arranged regularly.
Put it away, neatly and orderly.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden table in the middle.
There is a long sword with a strange shape standing on the table. The sword body is like a pagoda, divided into seven sections, and the color is blue. The ripples like sea water flicker slightly, as if they are still flowing.
The old man stared at the sword and sighed, "This sword..."
Zhou Shu asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, father-in-law?"
"This Sea-Treading Seven-section Sword was forged by me based on the Sea-Treading Sword used by Master Tahai. I originally hoped that it would become my proudest work. Unfortunately, something went wrong at the time and the final steps could not be completed. Later,
When I want to do it again, I can't do it anymore, I hate it, I hate it."
The old man spoke slowly, with regrets clearly visible in his words.
"Don't be too entangled, old man. With such a good sword as the Bingxiao Jingli, it's not a big deal if it's missing one."
After explaining it for a few words, Zhou Shu also became a little curious, "Hai-Treading Sword? Was this the sword Tahai-Zhen used back then? It's quite weird."
The old man nodded, "Yes, Tahaizhenren used such a sword to sweep the East China Sea. But his sword was a seventh-level sword, and my sword is only a fifth-level sword."
"What's the missing step for my father-in-law's sword? Can this junior complete it?"
Zhou Shu stared at the seven-section sea-crossing sword, thinking about those years, and all the sea-crossing techniques he had, and suddenly felt something in his heart, and he couldn't help but say these words.
The old man was slightly startled, "Do you want to help me complete this sword?"
Zhou Shu nodded seriously, "If possible, I really want to give it a try."
The old man looked at Zhou Shu for a while, then a smile appeared on his face, "It's a good idea to have such an idea, I'm very happy. But it's impossible for you to not be able to do it now. Only when you have elixir fire or strange fire can you do it."
So it's possible, but you'd better take care of yourself first."
"Understood."
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, with a hint of regret. The strange fire and the alchemy fire were still a little far away.
The old man shook his finger, "Haha, if you can really complete this sword, then this sword will belong to you."
"Thank you, husband."
Zhou Shu didn't think much and immediately saluted and thanked him. This opportunity was not to be missed. From the first moment he saw the sword, he had the idea that this sword was destined to belong to him.
The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "Are you afraid that I won't give it to you? You are so eager to thank me. If you can really complete it, what if I give you all the swords in the house? Don't think about it, just forge your own sword first."
"yes."
Zhou Shu took out the heavy gold sword and stroked it back and forth for a long time. Although he had deduced it many times in the sea of consciousness, this was the first time he had made a sword. As calm as he was, he still felt a little nervous in his heart, especially when there was a person.
With Master Yan watching, he really couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
"The most important thing in the water refining method is flow. You can't use a pool. First, set up a flowing water formation."
Zhou Shu thought for a while, found a flat land about ten feet, and carefully arranged the formation. His movements were not fast, but extremely steady. After the flowing water formation gradually took shape, he began to pour lapis lazuli water, and soon the water flowed into the formation.
Hundreds of streams were separated and flowed regularly.
The lapis lazuli water like golden mercury is suspended in the air, flowing repeatedly, neither fast nor slow.
The old man had been staring at Zhou Shu quite seriously, and then he smiled a little and nodded lightly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Zhou Shu's performance.
"As deduced, there is no error."
Zhou Shu calmed down and had a good start. The subsequent process was much simpler. All he had to do was follow the deduction process and show it step by step.
Although there are people around, he will do his best and will not hold back to cover up.
The heavy gold sword is very important to him, and he cannot affect the quality of the sword just because he conceals his abilities.
The heavy gold sword was thrown into the lapis lazuli water and turned together, while the red sand was also thrown in one by one.
The method of water refining is similar to fire refining, but unlike fire refining, it can quickly melt and decompose materials and combine them to refine them. Water refining is about moisturizing things silently and slowly changing the material. It is difficult to maintain long-term.
For a duration of tens of days or even longer, there must be sufficient spiritual power reserves, as well as more precise and perfect spiritual power control, and every subtle change in the material must be caught in a timely manner.
This is what Zhou Shu is good at.
