Chapter 335 Engraving

The hut where few people come, without the old man sitting, looks even quieter.

But if someone pays attention, they may hear such sounds from time to time.

"The blade of the sword is a little yellow, it's too thick, add water! The water from the spiritual spring next to it!"

"Stop! Don't rush to add here!"

"Another Qingyang Stone has been integrated, don't waste your spiritual energy, beat harder, use your strength!"

In the cave under the hut, the old man yelled at Zhou Shu loudly.

Most of the problems he pointed out stemmed from the century-old experience of casting swords. These were things that Zhou Shu's deduction was unlikely to obtain, and Zhou Shu benefited a lot from them.

Dozens of days later.

Zhou Shu looked a lot haggard. These days, he was about to push out his full potential. Except for a little recovery time every day, the rest was spent on casting swords. He didn't have a moment to rest, and he was exhausted every day.

Forging a sword is no easier than practicing swords and cultivation, and even more exhausting, because the process of casting swords is changing rapidly, and unpredictable changes can easily occur, which is different from practicing swords and cultivation.

His eyes fell on the heavy golden sword on the anvil, with a lot of relief in his eyes.

Although the heavy golden sword at this time looks introverted and no longer has the potential to grab people, its internal strength and hardness, as well as its adaptability to spiritual power, are much stronger than before, and it is already a fourth-order sword. Magic weapon.

He looked at the old man and bowed slightly, "Old man, you have worked hard these days, and this junior is very grateful."

These days, the old man worked equally hard, like the most demanding and rigorous supervisor, the old man observed every change of the sword, and any flaws would be pointed out mercilessly by the old man, and then told Zhou Shu to correct it.

With the guidance and help of the old man, Zhou Shu was able to achieve this step.

The old man shook his head slightly, without a trace of satisfaction on his face, and said sternly, "There are still two steps left, don't relax!"

"The junior understands."

Zhou Shu nodded seriously. Most of the steps to improve the flying sword have been completed, such as Yunling, toughness, fusion, etc., but there are still two final steps. The first is to modify the runes. The rank of the flying sword will also have a certain impact on the runes. It must be restored. Based on this, some new runes will be added to increase the power of the flying sword. The second is quenching. The last step that must be included is the final tempering of the complete magic weapon, condensing the material to make it more suitable for the spiritual power of the cultivator, and at the same time it can store more spiritual power to exert greater power.

These two steps are also extremely critical, and have a considerable impact on the final grade of Feijian.

The old man looked at Zhou Shu, "This heavy golden sword has nothing special in its runes, and it doesn't have its own formulas. It's just made to stabilize the material. Now if you want to upgrade it, you can make some new choices." Yes, such as adding new runes, etc., but I want to remind you that if you add new runes, your sword intent and sword art may not be suitable, how do you choose?"

Zhou Shu stared at the heavy golden sword, pondering slightly.

The old man waited for a while and said slowly, "I have some suggestions for you. First, you can not change it, but simply restore and strengthen the runes, so that there will be no obscure feeling when using them. Second, if you want to add runes If so, you can also add a spell pattern like 'Fire Lotus' or 'Broken Mountain', because of the presence of Chixia Sand and Qingyang Stone, these spells may be able to maximize the ability of this sword .As for the old man who has taught you these runes, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Zhou Shu nodded. What the old man said was very pertinent, but he hesitated.

Now this heavy golden sword, because of the existence of Chixiasha, does have a lot of fire attributes. If it is added with its own magic formula, the sword will be more powerful and its grade may be higher, even reaching the top grade, the fourth grade top grade magic weapon , that is something that everyone in the Golden Core Realm will fight for. With such a magic weapon, you may be able to go on a rampage in the Pulse Condensation Realm, but in this way, it will conflict with his Broken Jade Sword Intent. In the long run, it may not be conducive to Repair the sword by yourself.

"It's better not to use the formula, but to strengthen it on the original basis."

After thinking about it, Zhou Shu said seriously.

A smile appeared on the old man's face, "It's a good choice. There are spells on the sword, which can indeed increase strength, but it doesn't benefit the sword repairer himself. It's better to use a simple sword."

Zhou Shu nodded, "The junior will do it."

The old man waved his hand, "Well, engraving is one of the most critical steps. I won't bother you, and I won't make any noise. But you have to know that once the runes go wrong, all the previous efforts will be in vain. You have to do it all over again, and this sword will no longer be able to reach the fourth level. You have done a good job, I hope you will not fail at this step."

He retreated to a corner and looked at Zhou Shu from a distance.

These days, although he has been very indifferent on the surface, he has a lot of surprises towards Zhou Shu in his heart, but he doesn't show it. Zhou Shu's performance, familiarity with the materials, near-perfect spiritual power control, and much more than ordinary people's spiritual power reserve, all of these have completely exceeded his expectations. He is simply an old hand in refining weapons, but Zhou Shu seems to be The first refiner.

"This little guy is really weird. It seems like he was refining weapons in his mother's womb, but in fact it's his first time doing it... The old man is a little bit looking forward to what he can achieve, but I'm sure that if you refine weapons If you keep going up and down, you will definitely be better than this old man in the future."

The old man shook his head and sat down, with surprise in his eyes, but more expectations.

Zhou Shu couldn't feel what the old man was thinking, nor would he think about it. Now he was extremely focused, with only the heavy golden sword in his eyes, to the point of ecstasy.

Engraving is an important step in refining, and it is also a step that determines the life and death of most magic weapons.

There is no need for rune patterns without magic weapons. Even a flying sword that does not require magic formulas must have rune patterns with solid material and spiritual power. There are many kinds of rune patterns, and the one Zhou Shu wants to engrave is one of the most difficult ones. kind.

Simple engraved patterns may be better, but to upgrade the flying sword is to improve and strengthen the original runes to generate new runes, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty by a few points.

With a calm expression on his face, Zhou Shu picked up a carving knife and began to carve slowly.

He has a plan in mind.

Engraving, like drawing talismans on talisman paper, is guided by spiritual power, but the pen has become a knife. This kind of process has been deduced many times in the sea of ​​consciousness. Although it is difficult, he has enough confidence.

With one stroke, there is no obscurity, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the lines on the sword body are clearly displayed, as if they exist naturally, and match with the previous runes without any overlap or error, and the precision is to an extreme.

The old man in the distance didn't make a sound, but his face was stunned.

He had never seen such engravings by Zhou Shu before. Every movement was unrestrained and free and easy, as if carrying a special sense of beauty, which made him feel a little dazed unconsciously.

"Such a talent is a little scary."

he muttered to himself.
