Elder Han He stared unblinkingly at the figure not far away, unable to recover for a long time, even suspecting that he had woken up too fast.
That was the Ancestral Master's anvil, the Ancestral Master's hammer.
After countless years of slumber, now, in the hands of a youth barely seventeen, it once again burst forth with its initial sparks.
Why could he, despite being only in the Guan Shen Realm, accomplish something that numerous Divine Craftsmen of Shenbing Peak had failed to do for thousands of years?
“The God Hammer Little Overlord’s God Hammer doesn’t refer to that Divine Weapon,” Elder Zeng sighed, recalling the scene atop the Sword Tower.
“Instead, it refers to his Hammer Technique reaching the level of a Supreme martial art.”
“This old man... I was muddled,” Elder Han He murmured to himself, finally understanding Xue Jing’s feelings at this moment.
Mastering a Supreme martial art-level Hammer Technique and being able to wield a Divine Weapon—regardless of how he achieved it—the Panjie Meteor Hammer was indeed light as a feather in his grasp at this moment.
Moreover, he was unafraid of extreme heat, thriving in the fire vein like a fish in water.
With such a person, he couldn’t imagine any reason why he wouldn’t become a Divine Craftsman in the future.
Not far away.
“Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements, it actually shows signs of nearing mastery?”
Li Mo looked strange, his movements slowly stopping, like a furnace whose hearth had been extinguished.
It was, quite sudden.
He himself hadn’t expected that his talent in the art of forging was actually no less than his Hammer Technique.
“Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements” was also a Supreme martial art.
But he merely wanted to try if he could forge with the hammer treasure after empowering it with the power of the world, and this Supreme martial art was almost mastered. One should know that he hadn’t even had time to strike any iron just now.
He had only been striking the anvil.
At this moment, he turned his head and saw the two old men looking at him with complex expressions.
“You two are awake? It seems the seven-pattern hanquan pill worked quite well.”
“???”
Elder Han He felt his scalp tingle and sweat profusely even in the depths of the fire vein. No wonder he didn’t feel hot; it turned out he had just eaten a seven-pattern Medicinal Pill.
Elder Zeng’s mouth twitched, “Do you know how heavy a gold mountain is? Even a Physical Body in the Outer Scenery Realm would find it very difficult to move.”
“How do you know?”
“Back then, Li Mo threw a gold mountain onto an open space and asked me to move it; it exhausted me.”
“......”
Elder Han He, having lived so long, had never experienced such arduous labor.
“Alright, while the effects of the seven-pattern pill are still active.”
“This old man will teach you the secret °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° weapon-casting method of my Qingyuan Sect.”
As Elder Han He spoke, his back straightened again.
“Don’t learn from old man Han He.”
Elder Zeng’s eyes gleamed, looking at Li Mo as if he were a rare treasure:
“The weapon-casting method of Hengyun Sword City is more suitable for you, and old man Han He can at most forge Sharp Weapons, while this old man can forge famous artifacts, being a genuine Grand Craftsman.”
Elder Han He was enraged: “Old dog Zeng, you’ve gone too far! He’s a Disciple of our Qingyuan Sect! What do you mean by meddling?”
Elder Zeng’s expression remained unchanged: “I just can’t bear to see you mislead a Genius, and Li Mo is Shang Wu’s Disciple, not yours.”
“Hmph, what’s so great about a Grand Craftsman? A Grand Craftsman who only knows how to cut corners—even green onions wouldn’t want to be dipped in your kind of grand sauce!”
“You’re being personal, you’re being personal, aren’t you?! This old man wants to duel you!”
“Come on! Do I fear you?!”
The two old men were like two bulls, head-butting each other, on the verge of fighting.
Their approaches to the Dao of forging had always been at odds.
Elder Zeng was a reformist, advocating the use of all available technical means, believing that forging didn’t necessarily require a hammer; any forging method that produced good weapons was a good forging method. The Gold Stone Sword Nurturing Array was one of his achievements.
He felt that the other party was rigid and unwilling to adapt.
Elder Han He, on the other hand, advocated ancient methods, believing that true weapons should be meticulously hammered out, step by step, with effort and Soul infused into them, only then could they potentially become Divine Craftsmen in the future.
He felt that the other party was all about technology and ruthless methods, completely ignorant of what it meant to infuse Soul!
“So, how is the main difference reflected?”
Li Mo wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area yet and found it difficult to choose.
And from a personal standpoint too...
Elder Han He, of course, needed no further explanation; the most precious treasure of the Shenbing Peak Ancestral Master had been taken by him. He was an Elder with a tough exterior but a soft heart.
Elder Zeng... that old man even put on a hood and bravely went to snatch a strand of his hair.
“Let’s take the simplest smelting step, I’ll show you!”
Elder Zeng took the initiative, pulling out a large tripod covered with array patterns from his sumaru object, roughly the size of a field cooking pot.
He took out some of the most common iron Ore and placed it into the tripod.
Then he placed the tripod over the fire vein and activated the array patterns on it.
Soon, under the influence of the array patterns, the iron Ore inside turned red from being boiled.
Elder Zeng stood by the tripod, occasionally pouring in a Material that made Xiao Li feel dizzy just by smelling it—Black Fiend Wood Oil.
That wasn’t all. freewёbnoνel.com
“This is called Stone Fire Powder, it can purify Impurities.”
“And there’s Gold Wind Rock, which can make the iron block more solid.”
He was like an alchemist, pouring many Materials into it, and only then did he begin to forge.
In a short while, the steel was hammered into shape by him.
“So fast.”
Li Mo blinked, not expecting forging to be so convenient.
“How is it?” Elder Zeng asked with a smile.
“Not good at all, you soulless thing, it’s just a shoddy product,” Elder Han He snorted.
He took out an Ore, heated it, then placed it on the anvil, and swung his hammer, striking it with a special technique.
The hammer strikes were like a violent storm, continuous and pleasing to the eye.
While striking, he also heated it, then repeatedly folded it, over and over again.
“The Azure Steel Swords used by my Qingyuan Sect Disciples are all refined a hundred times!”
“Every inch contains painstaking effort!”
This time, it took much longer.
But the iron block that came out had layered patterns on it, which were very beautiful.
Afterwards, Elder Han He spent more effort, directly casting the iron into a sword, and casually slashed it onto the iron block forged by Elder Zeng, leaving a rice-sized chip in the latter.
Elder Zeng bristled: “You’re effing slashing my iron, aren’t you?!”
The two old men started squabbling again, then simultaneously looked at Li Mo:
“Which one do you think is better?”
“Wait...”
Li Mo, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Xiao Li the Genius always had many ideas.
As he watched the two forging methods just now, an idea popped into his head.
“Both Elders’ methods have their own merits, why can’t they be integrated?”
“Hmm? How to integrate?”
The two old men spoke in unison, exchanged glances, saw each other’s confusion, then snorted and looked in different directions, acting very proud.
“Just like stir-frying.”
“?”
“Controlling the heat is very important for stir-frying, and controlling the heat is also very important for forging and smelting. So, if we just treat the Ore as ingredients and stir-fry it, wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?”
That’s right!
This was the method Chef Li thought of!
