Chapter 669: There are still experts
The forging competition has begun.
This type of competition uses the same materials and finished products, and only compares the quality of the finished products.
This is a relatively reasonable and simple way of judging.
"Please, this is the meteorite iron from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan. It is the best material our clan can offer."
Mu Qing waved his hand, and two fox elders came up carrying plates. Each of them had a fist-sized stone on it. They were dark red in color, with the surface covered with fine patterns, emitting a silver star-like glow even in broad daylight.
Meteorite iron from the celestial star is a treasure from the universe and is extremely valuable.
Because it contains the power of the stars, as long as it is forged into a weapon or magic weapon, the power hidden in the meteorite can be fully stimulated!
certainly.
In order to forge this kind of material, one must have sufficiently powerful forging techniques.
However, everything has different material grades. At least these two pieces of meteorite iron are obviously not the best grade.
But even so, this thing is already extremely precious!
"It's really meteorite iron!"
A knowledgeable blacksmith was surprised.
"This dark red color is definitely a low-grade meteorite. This piece of meteorite is basically equivalent to a Xuanxian-level magic weapon."
"I heard that the highest grade meteorite iron has a completely black surface and may appear to be mottled with impurities, but in fact the star power inside has already condensed into crystals. Its hardness is also terrifying. To forge that kind of material, one must at least have the strength of an Immortal Emperor!"
"How do you know?"
"Ancient books say..."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Seeing that the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Clan even took out such a treasure to use, everyone was looking forward to the competition even more.
Can these two young blacksmiths forge amazing magical weapons?
"Wow, I didn't expect this thing could be taken out."
Mu Qingyu was amazed.
"Is that kind of ore very valuable?" Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.
In his opinion, the two pieces of dark red iron ore seemed to be shiny, but the material seemed not good, not pure enough, and not even as good as the "highest grade star iron" sold in his system mall. Although the materials sold by the system also had many impurities, the hardness was really good.
The sword he forged for Qin Yiyao was made of this material, and it took quite some effort.
But Gu Heng did not intend to point fingers. Perhaps the dark red iron ore that looked not very useful was something that only immortals could use and understand how to use. He was not an immortal, so he could not judge without authorization.
"Yes, it is said that it is meteorite iron that fell from outer space. It is extremely rare."
Mu Qingyu didn't quite understand this either.
But as the most favored little princess of the fox clan, she had seen everything in the clan's treasure house, and there were elders who were willing to patiently explain everything to her one by one. Naturally, she had also seen these two pieces of meteorite iron, but as a girl, she had no interest in these things.
Not even as good as two pieces of candy."oh..."
Gu Heng thought that the things outside the sky didn't seem to be very powerful, maybe he was just ignorant, so he continued to watch.
"In that case, let's get started."
The two elders placed the Tianxing Meteorite on the forging table and then left, leaving only Mu Qing and Zhuge Qian on the stage.
Mu Qing's eyes were solemn, he clasped his hands together, and the power of Tao surged. Soon, the furnace temperature was adjusted to the highest and began to smelt the materials. At the same time, he began to circulate the spiritual power in his body to drive the fire.
"Hualala!"
The sound of burning flames was heard, and the meteorite iron in the furnace gradually burned red!
The forging processes on both sides are in good order.
Just heating the meteorite red made the two people on the stage sweat profusely. Anyone could see that this first step was a test of strength and skills.
It took nearly an hour.
"Bang, bang!"
Hammer after hammer hit the red-hot meteorite. Both Mu Qing and Zhuge Qian put in all their strength. Each hammer caused a violent vibration, which made the audience below the stage nervous.
A powerful Taoist rhythm began to permeate the stage. The star power within the meteorite seemed to be moved and began to refract silver starlight. The entire arena was rendered dreamlike, as if it was not forging, but a tense duel was taking place!
"This collision of Dao rhymes is truly wonderful!"
"I can't believe that Mu Qing from the Fox Clan is still in a good position and is even competing with us..."
Gu Heng crossed his legs and ate melon seeds.
Listening to the exclamations and endless praises around him, he was a little confused.
There seemed to be some cool light effects on the stage, but he didn't quite understand what it was, and it didn't seem like anything special.
The forging skills of these two people still seem to be lacking. Zhuge Qian seems to have made no progress compared to before, but his opponent is even worse.
In his opinion, the winner of this competition has already been decided.
Zhuge Qian is sure to win.
"Come on, don't waste the treasures of the clan..."
Mu Qingyu was cheering for Mu Qing. Although she didn't understand forging at all, the collision of Taoist rhymes emitted from the confrontation on the stage was not fake, it was a real "battle"!
Although she was not very familiar with Mu Qing, she didn't want him to lose.
It's a pity that the little fox girl will be disappointed this time.
"Ms. Qingyu, your cousin has already lost."
Gu Heng couldn't bear to see Mu Qingyu's extremely disappointed and pitiful look, so he chose to tell her his thoughts in advance.
"Ah! Is he not as good as Zhuge Qian?"
She suddenly looked frustrated.Gu Heng had said that he knew a little about forging, but Mu Qingyu now knew that the so-called "knowing a little" was a humble statement. This was also how Brother Gu described his alchemy skills, so his forging must be better than the two on the stage!
Even Brother Gu said so...
Mu Qingyu just pouted and stopped wagging her tail.
I really want to rub her until she keeps shaking!
Gu Heng almost couldn't hold back the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
…
The forging continued until late at night and reached its final moment.
Finally, accompanied by the explosions of two forging furnaces, the weapons forged by Mu Qing and Zhuge Qian came out of the furnace at the same time. Both weapons were short swords, as thin as cicada wings, with cold light on the blades and a faint silver hue!
Mu Qing and Zhuge Qian both smiled.
They looked at each other, and saw the desire to win in each other's eyes.
But their eyes fell on the daggers forged by the other. Zhuge Qian's expression remained calm, but Mu Qing's eyes had changed.
He still lost.
The weapons had been forged, and the fire in the furnace was gradually dying down. Two elders immediately came up, took the two daggers, and handed them to the Nine-tailed Immortal Mu Miaoying.
"...Heh, Immortal Master Fang Chen really accepted a good disciple."
Mu Miaoying rested her chin on her hand and did not hesitate to praise Zhuge Qian's talent.
"I don't deserve it."
Zhuge Qian bowed in reply, his expression still calm.
Mu Miaoying sighed: "Mu Qing, your forging skills are not bad, but you still need to work harder."
This sentence undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Mu Qing. His face stiffened slightly and he managed a slight smile, but losing was losing because he was not as skilled as his opponent.
"Mr. Mu Qing, I appreciate your concession."
Zhuge Qian bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, which made people look at him with new eyes.
"It seems that the first forging master of Xuantian Realm must be you."
Mu Qing said self-deprecatingly.
Everyone knows that Zhuge Qian came from Xuantian Realm. In that place where it is impossible to ascend to immortality, Zhuge Qian's strength and forging skills will definitely make it a sure thing for him to dominate Xuantian Realm.
But unexpectedly, Zhuge Qian just shook his head and refuted Mu Qing.
"Mr. Mu Qing is wrong. In Xuantian Realm, there is a forging master who is more outstanding and more powerful than me. Even... more powerful than my master, Immortal Fang Chen!"
As soon as these words came out.
The audience was silent.
