Immortal Refiner

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qing hammered the forged long sword into a smooth and flat shape. It can already be seen that it is in the shape of a sword.

The long-term high-temperature forging made the entire black gold long sword extremely hot, just enough to be quenched.

It is worth mentioning that there are two methods of quenching, one is the most common water quenching method, and the other is the less common oil quenching.

The former cools faster, but it needs to be heated and quenched repeatedly to improve the rigidity of the weapon.

However, considering that it is extremely difficult to heat black gold, Li Qing chose the oil extraction method, so that the entire black gold long sword can be quenched at one time.

He picked up the fire tongs to clamp the black gold sword that had been forged again in the furnace, and slowly immersed the edge of one side into the cold oil that had been prepared long ago. .

Swish!

As soon as it touched the surface, the oil temperature began to rise slowly, and bubbles rolled out.

Unlike the water quenching method, the oil quenching does not see the steaming white steam, but only bubbles gurgling up.

After waiting for a while, Li Qing picked up the ink-gold sword again and began to temper the other side of the sword.

The oil extraction method requires patience, because the cooling speed will be relatively slow, and the blade surface needs to be soaked repeatedly.

After soaking again and again, when the two sides of the ink-gold sword gradually cooled down, circles of fine wave-like patterns appeared.

This is the unique performance of ink gold after cooling down in the oil. Each circle of wave patterns represents a tempering.

Li Qing is like an old hunter in the mountains, very patient. He treats this long sword like a work of art.

At this time, the two sides of the long sword have cooled down, but the sword body in the middle is still hot.

It is this temperature difference that makes the blade of a sword harder and sharper.

Then, he inserted the entire long sword into the oil. After the sword body was completely immersed in the oil, the overall temperature began to drop again.

After a long time, until the oil stopped bubbling, Li Qing pulled out the sword.

Tick! Tick!

The sword body was shining with a layer of oil, and the oil at the tip of the sword kept dripping into the oil barrel.

"This Qinghong Sword is probably one of the best in the world of martial arts."

Li Qing looked at the nearly finished Qinghong Sword with a burning gaze. He picked up a towel and wiped the oil off the sword.

After the oil faded, the Qinghong Sword still had a layer of black and shiny luster, which was due to the material of the ink gold itself.

Buzz!

Li Qing habitually flicked the sword body with his fingers, and a clear hum sounded.

Good sword!

The next step was to sharpen the blade and make the hilt. Because it was ink gold, polishing the blade was destined to be an extremely time-consuming effort.

So Li Qing planned to make the hilt first, so that it would be more convenient to hold the hilt while polishing.

There was no need to worry about the style of the hilt. Li Qing directly referred to the hilt of the original Qinghong Sword and just slightly replaced the material.

The material of the hilt is a combination of rosewood and brass, which not only increases the comfort of holding the hilt, but also ensures the sturdiness of the hilt.

Li Qing focused on slowly carving a whole piece of rosewood into the shape of the hilt, and left a groove at the junction with the long sword, which is the part where the brass and the long sword merge.

His movements were meticulous, and when the entire black gold sword body was embedded in the hilt, it was like a mortise and tenon structure was completed.

The whole process was seamless, leaving no flaws!

The hilt was very easy to hold, and Li Qing was satisfied to carve some patterns on it, the style was the same as the original Qinghong Sword hilt.

"Huh, the next step is just polishing and sharpening." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. At this level, the Qinghong Sword is infinitely close to completion.

As Li Qing expected, polishing is indeed an extremely time-consuming task.

Then he spent a full thirteen days to sharpen the Qinghong Sword.

Buzz!

Li Qing held the handle with one hand and placed the Qinghong Sword horizontally in front of his eyes. The cold light at the edge flashed quickly from the bottom of his eyes.

[Successfully refined the fine ordinary weapon: Qinghong Sword, rewarded with three years of life! ]

Three years!

Li Qing hurriedly looked at his remaining lifespan, and the number on it changed directly from 146 to 149!

Lifespan +3!

Counting the year he spent in the polar night world, he is now almost nineteen years old, and the remaining lifespan has increased instead of decreased, and he still has nearly one hundred and fifty years to live.

"All this is thanks to my long-term perseverance in refining weapons! Sure enough, hard work changes life, this sentence is really not just talk!"

Li Qing's face was filled with a satisfied smile. Now if he does nothing, he can live to nearly one hundred and seventy years old.

Apart from anything else, even a pig should become a spirit after living for so long!

You know, it's good enough for a feudal dynasty to survive for two or three hundred years.

To be honest, Li Qing felt that it was very likely that he could witness the decline of Maple Country.

Li Qing shook his head and adjusted his thoughts. He stroked the completed long sword and thought in his heart:

"It seems that weapons forged with such special materials are indeed highly regarded. They are also fine ordinary weapons, but they have directly increased their lifespan by three years."

Well, it seems that his decision to choose that piece of meteorite was not wrong.

Then, Li Qing held the sword in one hand and chopped hard at a piece of iron armor in his shop.

Swish!

The sword flashed, and even the shadow of the sword itself was not clearly seen, and the iron armor was chopped into a neat and smooth crack.

Cutting iron like mud, that's all.

"Invincible, if this sword falls into the hands of a martial arts master, I'm afraid it will be truly invincible in the world, right?"

A peerless magic weapon can improve a martial artist to a great extent, which can be seen from the iron armor that was just chopped.

...

After a few days, Feng Weimen's Qian Hong finally got a response.

After waiting for a whole month, the sword she wanted was finally forged!

A strong sense of surprise surged from her heart, and then she couldn't believe it, and even felt that she might be dreaming.

That's right, a peerless magic weapon that belongs to her, this situation, she only thought about in her dreams.

Without any hesitation, she rushed to Chiming Street as fast as she could.

Looking at the blacksmith shop with the door open in front of her, Qian Hong's footsteps paused for a moment. She pursed her lips and walked in lightly.

She saw a long, straight, dark black sword with a bright glow, presented in front of her without any disguise.

The hilt of the sword was still the familiar style, and even the pattern was the same, but the cold light reflected from the blade, even if she hadn't used it, she knew very well that this was definitely a magic weapon, a peerless magic weapon!

Logically speaking, when martial arts practice reaches the level of internal strength, it is basically impossible to have hand tremors.

However, Qian Hong's hand that reached the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, which was both exciting and a little panic.

Her hands seemed to be born to hold swords, slender and delicate, and although her skin was not white, it showed a healthy wheat color.

When this hand touched the hilt of the sword, her whole body froze in place as if she had been electrocuted.

After a long while, she finally clenched the red sandalwood hilt of the Qinghong Sword with her slender fingers.

"Good sword!"
