“Senior, didn’t you know about it when I first came here? Thank you for guiding me into the field. You just said that this is also considered a thousand forgings, so is it valuable?” Lan Xuanyu pointed at the sunken silver in front of him.
Yang Yingming said, "Of course. Thousand-forged metal, with your piece, it can probably be exchanged for five white-level badges. This is a thousand-forged metal, and a thousand-forged metal can be used to make a one-word battle armor. This is still the standard of our Shrek Academy. In the outside world, the mainstream is to make battle armor with a hundred-forged metal. Thousand-forged metal can be integrated with the body. It is a rare good thing. The most difficult thing for us to forge is the success rate. Who would be willing to sell a piece of this thing? Generally, we keep it."
"Oh, one yuan for five white badges, one hundred yuan for five hundred white badges, equivalent to more than thirty yellow badges. Ten times the profit. Not bad!" Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up immediately. He bought three yellow badges for a hundred pieces of Shenyin.
"Hey, did you hear me clearly? Have you considered the success rate?" Yang Yingming was speechless. He was a fourth-level blacksmith, but even for him, the success rate of the thousand forgings was only about one-quarter. The success rate of the first-level thousand forgings was 5% when one was extremely lucky.
It's just that Yang Yingming can already make money with Qianduan, but the problem is that he still needs to impact the higher level of forging, and that, once failed, the materials will be wasted. It's really a waste of money. Otherwise, he can't find odd jobs here in the association.
Lan Xuanyu's face showed a look of sudden realization. "Senior, if I want to sell this Thousand Forged Metal, is it easy to sell in our academy? Or should I take it outside?"
"Of course it's easy to sell. Thousand Forging Metal is in short supply in our outer courtyard. It is needed to make the One-word Battle Armor. And the One-word Battle Armor must be completed by the second year graduation, otherwise you will be expelled. It is urgently needed for you first-year and second-year students. Generally speaking, if you choose forging as a secondary profession, it is actually difficult to complete it by yourself when you are making the One-word Battle Armor or even the Two-word Battle Armor. Even if you can barely get enough, it's good enough for the blacksmith himself. Who is willing to sell it? And those of us who are at a high enough level need to upgrade the Thousand Forging Metal to a higher level of Spirit Forging, and there is also a great demand for Thousand Forging Metal. Are you really going to sell it?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded, "Let's sell it. I think I can build a better one in the future, and I'm not even in the second year yet. There's no rush for the battle armor."
In fact, he discovered a problem, that is, his success rate seemed to be different from what Yang Yingming said!
When he was forging iron, he often failed at first, but after he could complete 36 hammers in one go, he never failed again. He didn't know why.
The reason why forging rare metals is prone to failure is because the energy activity inside the metal is too strong and ever-changing. When Lan Xuanyu was forging, he found that as long as his blood and energy were integrated into it, the metal activity would be particularly obedient, and the difficulty of forging would be significantly reduced. In other words, he felt that his success rate should be high.
This was the first time he started forging Shenyin after completing the Thirty-Six Hammers. He was not familiar with Shenyin at all, but he was able to forge it successfully. Doesn't that mean that the more familiar you are, the better you will forge it
"I bought it!" When Lan Xuanyu was thinking about his plan to get rich, Yang Yingming suddenly said without hesitation.
"Ah?" Lan Xuanyu was stunned.
Yang Yingming said: "Junior, I will buy your piece of Thousand-forged Silver. It also includes five White-level badges. This is the market price. Can you make it cheaper?" As he spoke, the smile on his face began to become a little flattering.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, "You are too polite, I will give this piece to you. You are my guide. If it weren't for you, I might have to take many detours."
"No, no, no. I can't give them to you. After all, I am your senior, and I still have to save my face. Four, please. I'm already getting a good deal at this price. Just this once, and it won't happen again." As he spoke, Yang Yingming took out four white-level badges and placed them on the forging table, then he picked up the piece of thousand-forged silver and looked at it carefully.
Lan Xuanyu was surprised to find that there was a faint red halo flickering in Yang Yingming's eyes. When he looked into Yang Yingming's eyes, he actually felt a little dizzy.
What a powerful mental strength!
He only knew this senior from the Forging Association, and was not very clear about Yang Yingming's specific cultivation. Judging from his age, he should be a senior in the External Academy.
"Hey, that's weird!" Yang Yingming suddenly exclaimed, "It's said that the activity of Qianduan Metal is already very strong, which makes its own energy level higher. But your piece, the energy level is definitely fine, but why is its activity so stable? Weird, weird, I'll go study it first. Junior brother, you go do your thing."
As he spoke, Yang Yingming turned and left.
Watching him leave, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but become curious. He could sense the changes in metal just by using his eyes, without having to test it with his soul power or forge it? This senior was not simple at all!
After putting away the four white-level badges, he had a better impression of Yang Yingming. Although he bargained, he stuck to his bottom line and didn't really take advantage of him. In fact, Yang Yingming's guidance to him was more than a white-level badge could replace.
After stretching his hands and feet, Lan Xuanyu picked up another piece of heavy silver and put it into the forging table for calcining.
With the forging experience just now, he felt that he had become much more familiar with Shenyin. As long as it was forged a thousand times, it could be sold for money, which was really good! Although he was still relatively wealthy now, who would complain about having too many badges
"Dang, dang, dang..." The forging sound began to echo in the forging room.
Two hours later.
The continuous forging made Lan Xuanyu a little overwhelmed. The chaotic cloak hammer method mentioned by Yang Yingming, every thirty-six hammers, can complete the forging of a piece of heavy silver. But the problem is that this really requires the complete unity of spirit, energy and spirit to use, which consumes a lot of his own energy.
Lan Xuanyu's recovery ability was already very strong. After each forging, he would meditate for a quarter of an hour before continuing. When he finished his fourth forging, he was already a little exhausted.
"Forging iron blocks is really different from forging rare metals! There are too many changes to adjust and feel. It's far from comparable to an iron block. If it were an iron block, I should be able to swing the hammer more than six times. Today, I only did it four times."
He forged four times, failed once, and succeeded three times. He failed on the third forging. Lan Xuanyu summed up his experience and lessons. He didn't rest enough at that time, and he was exhausted in the last few hammers. As a result, the internal activity of Shenyin was not well controlled. In addition, his forging hammer was not good. In the later stage, he needed to constantly use soul power to maintain it, which became a burden.
There were two pieces of silver in front of him. One piece was shining more than two feet, and the other was three feet. Lan Xuanyu had already decided to use them as the main material to make himself a pair of Thousand Forging Silver Hammers to use as forging hammers. In that case, the efficiency of forging later would definitely be higher.
I can't do it today, I'll try again tomorrow. The final exam is the day after tomorrow.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Bang, bang, bang." The entire forging room shook.
"Eh!" Lan Xuanyu was surprised. You know, blacksmiths hate to be disturbed when they are forging. The association also has regulations that no one is allowed to disturb forging! There should be a Do Not Disturb sign outside his door.
But he still walked forward and opened the door of the forge.
As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed out. Lan Xuanyu subconsciously wanted to resist, but he was already lifted up by the man. He didn't even have the ability to resist. His whole body just felt hot, as if he had lost the ability to resist.
