Chapter 46: Reward for the Champion
Su Chen now has a clearer judgment of his own the eyes of others, he entered the Yunyang Sect more than two years ago and has been practicing in the Yunyang Sect for a long time.
Compared to other young people, I seem to have practiced for two more years.
But in fact, Su Chen neglected his practice during those two years in Yunyang Sect.
On the front line of Yunyang Sect, the threat of monsters is very great.
At that time, Su Chen was in charge of many things that were not his own.
At that time, I really did not ask for anything in return, I just wanted peace for the Great Zhou and for the people to live in peace.
Young talents like Jin Yue and Hou Chenfei.
On the contrary, they have received a lot of training within the family.
From the very beginning, I was aiming for cultivation.
I was able to defeat them thanks to the help of "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue".
If I continue to practice, others may think that I am being left behind by those geniuses.
But Su Chen became more and more confident.
With the help of top-notch cultivation techniques like "Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue", not only will he not be left behind.
Who knows, I might end up widening the gap between myself and them.
On the ninth day, Su Chen went to the sect's weapons foundry.
Choose the right mold.
The Great Elder said at the beginning of the competition that the sect would forge a top-grade weapon as a gift to the winner.
To obtain a weapon of this quality, the direct disciples would have to spend more than half a year making contributions.
Walking into the foundry, everything around me seemed to have become much warmer.
Ding-dang-dang, various knocking sounds continued.
Su Chen stepped forward and explained his identity.
Then, a middle-aged man led Su Chen into the yard.
The ground in the yard was filled with all kinds of weapons.
There are even more common weapons such as swords, spears, swords, sticks and clubs.
They come in various shapes, some are long, some are short, some have wide blades, and some have thin blades.
"Young man, choose the mold yourself, and bring the one that suits you to me.
I'll be in the backyard across the corridor. If you find someone suitable, just bring them to me."
After paying respect to his predecessors, Su Chen began to screen here.
Most monsters have thick skin and flesh, so broad-bladed weapons are often the first choice.
Picking up the weapon on the ground, Su Chen tried to swing it.
The weapon he has now was taken from a monster.
And that monster might have been snatched from someone else.
After using it for so long, even though I’m familiar with it, I still feel awkward.
After searching for a while, Su Chen found a long sword with a thin blade that he could use very smoothly.
After activating the [Swordsman] destiny, he became even more skilled in using the long sword.
After making his choice, Su Chen took the knife and walked through the corridor.
In the backyard, many craftsmen were busy.
The senior just now seemed to be a highly skilled craftsman, and was giving instructions to some people from time to time.
Walking into the backyard, Su Chen handed the knife to the senior.
“It will take at least a month to pick it up, and you can come and check on the progress if you want.
If you find it novel and want to see something new, try these blacksmithing hammers.
That's fine, just follow me and take a look."
Looking at Su Chen looking around, the senior craftsman in front of him seemed to be much more enthusiastic than before.
"The casting method is a secret of the sect. Would it be inappropriate for a disciple to go and observe?"
Hearing Su Chen's words, the senior craftsman in front of him smiled.
“The casting techniques of Tiangang City were all improved and enhanced by me, so you can watch it with confidence.
Now that Master Shangxuan is here, I still dare to let you see it." "Then the disciple really wants to see it."
Su Chen bowed to his senior, but in fact, he still felt a little presumptuous.
Casting and alchemy, these two skills are secret methods in many sects.
Even if you enter the sect, you are not allowed to spy on people casually.
The reason why I wanted to take a look was mainly because I wanted to verify my destiny of [skillful hands].
I don’t know if it will have any miraculous effect in mastering these skills.
“No need to be so polite, I’m just letting you take a look, it won’t be a big loss for the sect.
It's impossible for you to learn all these skills from me in a blink of an eye.
I have been using these tools for more than 30 years, and only now have I become so skilled at them.
If you don’t have enough experience, you won’t be able to learn. ”
As he spoke, the senior led Su Chen to a place not far away.
This is a semi-open hut, and there are a lot of weapons piled up on the wall.
"There are so many defective products there, and they are a waste of materials."
Su Chen turned his head to look. The grades of weapons are usually divided into damaged goods, inferior goods, good goods, superior goods, fine goods, and top quality goods.
It is said that there are even divine products above the best ones.
However, Su Chen had only heard of it, but had never seen anyone holding a real divine weapon.
After all, high-quality weapons are actually very rare.
Looking at the pile of weapons, Su Chen couldn't help but take a few more steps forward.
"Senior, this seems to be a high-quality weapon.
How can it be a waste of materials? It is much better than what I am using now."
Su Chen's surprised look seemed to make this senior feel very accomplished.
It seems that the reason why he invited Su Chen to visit is to see Su Chen's amazed expression.
“To me, any weapon that is not of the highest quality is a waste of materials.
Okay, okay, stop staring at that pile of weapons.
The weapons I make for you will be many times better than those.
You have no weapon now, go pick one up and take it back to use."
After saying that, the senior craftsman took out another piece of ore, began to calcine it, and then hammered it.
While tempering, he talked to Su Chen.
“The method of casting places great emphasis on one’s own skills.
If the impurities in the ore cannot be removed, the weapons cast will not be of good quality.
Now, every time I strike the hammer, there is a deeper meaning behind it. This is the result of thirty years of practice.”
Sure enough, under the hammering of the senior craftsmen, a lot of impurities fell out.
"Come and try it. You seem quite interested."
Su Chen did not refuse. He activated his [Skillful Hands] destiny and took the hammer.
The reason why Su Chen took a few more glances at the casting process was to see if his destiny of [skillful hands] could play a role.
The hammer was swinging in Su Chen's hand. Although he had just seen his senior demonstrate it once, he looked quite skilled in the first blow with the hammer in his hand.
One hammer, two hammers
After activating the destiny of [Skillful Hands], Su Chen had learned at least 90% of the skill that originally required 30 years of accumulation.
The senior next to him was stunned when he saw this scene.
Originally, he was expecting Su Chen to make various mistakes, and then he would give him some advice.
But Su Chen's skill made him a little confused.
After several consecutive hammerings, the impurities began to fall off continuously, just like before.
Su Chen reacted immediately when he saw the senior beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Then when he tried to strike again, the hammer in his hand slipped out of his hand.
This is a big mistake, a big mistake that will get you scolded.
The senior beside him saw this scene, finally smiled and picked up the hammer.
“You learn pretty quickly by imitating others’ examples, but your foundation and skills are far behind.
If you want to learn how to cast, it won’t happen overnight.”
