Looking at the wooden sword broken into two pieces in her hand, Xu Chunniang was slightly stunned.
After a moment, he realized that the wooden sword was too fragile and could not withstand too much force.
If you want to learn swordplay, you must first forge a suitable sword.
A wooden sword wouldn't work, and I'm afraid ordinary iron wouldn't work either.
She still has some spiritual ore in her hand, and if she puts it together, she should be able to forge a handy sword.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, then took out all the spiritual minerals that she had collected when she crossed the Western Sea a few years ago.
Just talking about the fourth-level spiritual ores, there are seven or eight types, including red copper essence, green copper gold essence, and five-color iron essence.
There are even more third-level spiritual ores, about twenty or thirty kinds.
The small piece of Gengjin stone that Kong Huan gave to him that year was also among them.
Xu Chunniang specialized in the study of formations and was not good at refining equipment. She had only read some basic books and had some understanding of the physical properties of spiritual ores and the process of refining equipment.
However, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is not difficult to roughly refine a usable sword.
Anyway, she was forging the sword to practice swordsmanship, so she didn't care about the quality or power, as long as it was sturdy and durable.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and chose red copper essence, green copper gold essence and a small amount of third-level black gold as raw materials.
The first time she forged the sword, she was not very confident, but the less materials she used, the higher the success rate.
The red copper essence and green copper gold essence, which are the fourth-level refining materials, are strong enough in themselves.
Adding a little black gold can make the two melted more perfectly.
After recalling the process of refining the weapon in her mind, Xu Chunniang casually set up several barriers, released the Meteorite Heart Flame, and began to forge the red copper essence.
The red-refined copper essence appears to be dark copper in color, with a few faint red streaks revealed in the cross-section, interlaced with large areas of dark copper.
As the Meteorite Heart Flame burned, the red-refined copper essence showed signs of liquefaction, flashing with a strange and dazzling luster.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the red copper essence, shook her head, and continued to calcine it patiently.
At the current rate, it would take at least ten days or half a month to completely calcine it.
After twelve days of continuous calcination, a large piece of red copper essence finally turned into a ball of liquid with dark copper and red colors intertwined.
Xu Chunniang separated several strands of meteorite heart flame and carefully wrapped the red copper liquid. She then took a large piece of green copper essence and continued to calcine it.
Green copper gold essence emits a golden-green luster and its texture is slightly softer than red copper essence.
It took ten days to complete the calcination and purification process, turning the green copper gold essence into a ball of green copper gold liquid.
Now, only the black gold remains to be calcined and purified.
As a third-level spiritual ore, black gold is much softer in texture than the first two and is a common spiritual ore used for auxiliary smelting.
It only took Xu Chunniang half a day to calcine a small piece of black gold into black gold liquid.
After the spiritual ore has been calcined and purified, it is time for the most critical smelting.
This step is directly related to the quality of the finished product.
If the smelting fails, then the refining will basically fail.
Although only three spiritual ores were used in this refining, Xu Chunniang still did not dare to be careless.
She first separated a small amount from the red copper liquid and added it to half of the black gold liquid.
The red copper liquid with a red luster fell into the black gold liquid, and the red sword-casting turned pale.
After the two were melted together, Xu Chunniang continued to add red-coated copper liquid in small amounts and multiple times until the two were melted together. Only then was the process completed.
Xu Chunniang felt a little relieved. She wrapped the spiritual ore liquid with the Meteorite Heart Flame and put it aside. Then she took the green copper gold liquid and the remaining half of the black gold liquid and melted the two.
The last and most important step is to melt the red copper liquid mixed with the black gold liquid and the green copper gold liquid together.
Xu Chunniang first took a few drops from each of the two spiritual mineral liquids to test whether the two could be melted smoothly.
After all, if the melting fails, the two high-level spiritual ores, red copper essence and green copper gold essence, will be directly scrapped, and the loss will be heavy.
The two spiritual mineral liquids gathered together, making a "hissing" sound. Not only did they not blend together, but they repelled each other and emitted a large amount of white gas.
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang realized that the amount of black gold was too small and failed to dissolve the repulsive force between the red copper essence and the green copper gold essence.
She put the spent spiritual ore aside, took out a large piece of black gold, and continued to calcine it...
Three days later, after several attempts, Xu Chunniang finally successfully melted all the spiritual ore liquid together.
Next, you can shape the spirit sword.
After removing the Meteorite Heart Flame, Xu Chunniang used her spiritual sense to shape the ball of spiritual mineral liquid bit by bit.
After the spiritual ore liquid cooled, a sword embryo was born.
In order to turn the sword embryo into a real spiritual sword, several steps are required.
Due to limited conditions, we can only proceed to this step.
Looking at the slightly rough sword blank in her hand, Xu Chunniang felt a sense of accomplishment.
The sturdiness of this sword blank met her requirements.
It took nearly a month, and although only the sword blank was created, it was barely usable.
Xu Chunniang waved the sword a few times, and the sword embryo danced in the air, bringing out gusts of whistling wind.
Even the osmanthus tree next to it began to sway.
Looking at the mottled shadows of the trees, Xu Chunniang was distracted, recalling the bustling streets she had visited a few days ago, and the mortals who came and went on the streets.
She had clearly come to this mortal city specifically with the intention of relaxing for some time and taking a closer look at the scenery that she had missed over the years.
But when I get busy, I always forget the time.
She made a sword flower at any time, took a piece of cloth to wrap the sword and put it on her back, then Xu Chunniang pushed open the gate and walked outside.
Walking out of the barrier, the unique noise of the mortal city came into her ears one by one, carrying the worldly flavor of fireworks, vivid and fresh.
"Hey, when did someone move into this courtyard?"
Several women living nearby heard the noise and looked at Xu Chunniang seriously.
When his eyes fell on the sword on her back, he shrank back a little, not daring to say anything.
The woman who carries a sword on her back is not an ordinary person, so I’m afraid she will be difficult to get along with.
A few children playing in the distance saw the sword on her back and gathered around her with curious looks.
One boy even boldly asked, "Can I touch your sword?"
Xu Chunniang unsheathed her sword and gently placed it beside her. "Be careful."
Even through the cloth, the boy could still feel the deep chill when he placed his hand on the sword.
He retracted his hand because of the cold, but still looked at the sword with envy and desire. What a powerful sword!
Seeing this, the other children also rushed to touch the sword.
Some of the more clever ones bowed down directly, shouting, "Lady, please accept my worship, take me as your disciple, and teach me the magic skills!"
Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows slightly, but before she could say anything, a woman next to her rushed over and picked up the child who was kneeling.
"You little brat, where did you learn this set of etiquette for paying respect to a master? You can't pay respect randomly!"
