Chapter Thirty-Eight – The Proprietor Has Something to Do
Another few days passed.
Because Xu Yan has always been exempt from physical exercise classes, he will not have to attend classes from Friday.
And today, he greeted Lan Ming before class, saying that he would be back very late today.
Then he walked towards Qiao Zhigang’s shop, and he walked into the inner hall of the shop familiarly. Although Qiao Zhigang’s success rate in forging the first-order pattern soldiers is quite high now, Zhinan City is still the world of the Chen family. The vast majority of tattooists who want to buy or customize tattoo soldiers will choose the Chen family.
In fact, apart from the Chen family, only a few of the weapons stores in the southern city were struggling.
“Oh! Brother Xu! You are here!”
Qiao Zhigang was thinking about something, and when he saw Xu Yan’s arrival, he smiled and said, “I’m thinking about some skills, you came just right.”
However, Xu Yan stopped him: “Today, let’s do something special.”
…
Boom!
This is the sound of the door closing.
Snapped!
This is the sound of putting up the notice.
On the notice, it was written: the proprietor has something to do, take a day off.
Then Qiao Zhigang looked at Xu Yan with doubtful eyes: “Brother Xu, what the heck is going on so mysterious.”
Xu Yan smiled and said, “Today, let’s forge the second-order pattern soldiers.”
When Qiao Zhi was stunned when he heard the words, he laughed loudly: “Xu Xiaojie, you really know how to joke! Hahaha!”
“Ha ha…”
He looked at Xu Yan and saw that there was no joke on Xu Yan’s face, he stopped laughing, and immediately looked at him with disbelief: “How is this possible? I don’t have this skill yet!”
“If you don’t have it, I can.”
Qiao Zhigang glanced at Xu Yan, and then said slowly: “I know Xu Xiaodi is talented, but after all, you are still ten years old…”
“No no no.” Xu Yan stopped him again: “It’s you and me working together to create a second-order tattoo.”
“I’m not going around the corner anymore. I have some troubles and need a second-order tattoo soldier. Are you willing to help me?” Xu Yan looked at Qiao Zhigang very seriously.
Qiao Zhigang hesitated for a moment, then remembered the various instructions of Xu Yan in the past four years, and nodded heavily: “Done! What do you need me to do?”
…
On the forging table, Qiao Zhigang kept stepping on the bellows, and the flames blew more vigorously!
He carefully held the special container. In the round container, there was a dark molten iron.
Falling star.
It was the main material of the weapon that Xu Yan had commented on when Qiao Zhigang met Xu Yan.
Compared with Qiao Zhigang’s panting and huffing work, Xu Yan was sitting beside him like an uncle, with a pair of Erlang’s legs swaying. He glanced at the molten iron in the container and said, “Almost there, pour it into the mold.”
Different from Xu Yan’s randomness, Qiao Zhigang nodded as if facing the enemy, and his palms were full of sweat. You know, this is the first time in his life that he has tried to create a Tier 2 tattoo! The tension can be imagined.
His right hand was no longer wrapped in black cloth, revealing the lines on his arm.
It was a giant streak.
In the deep wild forest, there is a kind of grain plant. If eaten raw in the mouth, it will increase strength in a short period of time. Hence it is called the power grass.
Although the power grass is ordinary, it is a very important tattoo. If it is eaten in the grain, it can increase the strength of the eater, and the spirit will be refreshed; if it is made into an elixir, it can be made into a strength pill to restore physical strength;
For many people who can only live in one palace for life, Liwen is their best choice. Because of the ordinary nature of the force grass, the materials are not expensive, and after the force pattern is applied, its strength is greatly increased, so that they have more choices for work.
And what Qiao Zhi had just entered was Juliwen.
The giant force pattern is an upgraded version of the force pattern. The complexity of the pattern is far from that of the force pattern, and the force grass used to enter the pattern must be over a hundred years old before it can be used to form a giant force pattern.
But this is the last asset of the Qiao family, which was turned into a giant pattern by Qiao Zhigang.
…
The molten iron with the falling star as the main material was poured on the already accurate mold, and the mold was a long iron stone. Its central position is recessed in it, and it can be vaguely deduced that it is a long weapon. The molten iron poured into its concave position, and through the strength of the giant force pattern, his hand holding the container was extremely stable.
Not every drop of molten iron was wasted, just filling the mold.
Looking at Xu Yan, he nodded with satisfaction.
The so-called Qiao family inheritance is indeed unique.
Although in the skill of forging and carving, Qiao Zhigang is a little immature. However, with the cooperation of fusion and ingredients, he has already reached the level of a second-order blacksmith. Just forging a bucket like a bucket, not the tallest wooden board, but the shortest one. The ability to forge and engrave has become the limitation that he can only create first-order tattooed soldiers.
So there is the appearance of the mold.
Qiao Zhigang had to admire Xu Yan’s idea.
Because Qiao Zhigang’s crafting skills are too low, it is impossible to create a perfect shape. Therefore, simply don’t make it, and use the mold to make the stick.
Unlike other weapons, the stick is an unkillable weapon.
Therefore, there is no need to polish and sharpen it like a sword, which directly reduces Qiao Zhigang’s low forging skills to invisible.
He took the huge hammer and made it fit the mold and become smoother when the molten iron began to cool.
Boom boom boom!
Although Qiao Zhigang’s craftsmanship is not enough, his strength is not weak because of the gigantic pattern. Swing the hammer, and the roar is like thunder!
In less than a moment, its molten iron began to cool slowly.
“Almost!” Xu Yan shouted loudly!
As soon as Qiao Zhi heard the words, he immediately retracted the hammer and stepped back!
As he retreated, Xu Yan jumped off the chair and came to the forging table.
The two retreated and entered, as if they were doing it at the same time. At the moment when Qiao Zhi had just retreated, Xu Yan had already come to the forging table.
Compared with his tall forging table, Xu Yan is slightly shorter.
It’s just that his eyes changed abruptly, and Qiao Zhigang’s eyes narrowed.
What kind of look is this?
It’s like throwing your mind…even your soul into the weapon in front of you.
The sound of the bellows, the sound of the flame, the slight sound of the molten iron cooling…
“Don’t breathe, your breathing is very noisy.” Xu Yan said slowly, making Qiao Zhigang speechless, but he really subconsciously held his breath.
Everything was in Xu Yan’s mind.
The gap between him and Qiao Zhigang in forging is the same as the gap between him and Xu Tian in the pattern.
With just one look, Xu Yan in Qiao Zhigang’s eyes seemed to grow in size out of thin air, like a giant mountain that disappeared into the clouds and did not see the peak. That thick feeling is like substance, which makes Qiao Zhigang stunned.
“call.”
Xu Yan took a deep breath and stretched out his right index finger.
At this moment, the index finger of his right hand lit up with a red light.
Flame finger.
But this is not the so-called flaming finger with offensive ability.
When he chose Liu Yan Finger in the Gongfa Pavilion, Xu Yan did not ask for its power. Instead, I want the running route of the pattern force of the Flowing Flame Finger. Then he obtained the running route of the force of the flowing flame finger and then imitated it, so that the force of the pattern could be condensed between the fingers.
Blacksmiths also need grain strength.
Therefore, the more advanced the blacksmith, the higher the requirements for grain strength.
However, there has never been a tattoo artist who has not even reached the first palace realm or a tattoo master who is not at the first tattoo realm, who can successfully use fire forging to create tattoo soldiers. The reason is that in the process of engraving, fire forging requires manual engraving. And only the tattoo artist in the realm of a palace or a realm of tattoos can make the tattoo force out.
Through the operation and imitation of Liu Yan’s fingers, Xu Yan successfully condensed the tattoo force between his fingers before the first palace.
He moved his fingers slowly, as if he was holding something of great importance.
As if his arm was a big iron ball, moving with difficulty.
Finally, his fingers fell on the cooling black iron rod, and he began to engrave.
