Fang Xuande's eyes were bright, but they were quite strange and complicated. He seemed to want to see a miracle, but also seemed to be worried about something. Fang Yide's eyes flickered uncertainly. When he looked at Ouyang Ming's face, there was deep hostility in the deepest part of his eyes.
It's just that no one can see this at this time.
Forging an archer suit is an unparalleled event in the Fang family. No matter who takes the lead in this matter, the benefits they can obtain are simply unimaginable.
No matter from which aspect, Fang Yide did not want Fang Yihai to take the lead in this matter.
Therefore, he would do everything possible to win over Fang Xuande, the strongest forger in the family, to oppose this matter.
After all, in order to achieve his ulterior purpose, Fang Yihai dared to talk nonsense, saying that a young boy of only about sixteen years old could obtain gifted attributes. Don't tell me whether this news is true or false, so what if it is true? If you don't have convincing forging ability, how can you place that illusory hope in the hands of a junior
However, the development of things today seemed a bit beyond his expectation.
This kid didn't know what tricks he had done during the forging, but Fang Xuande was fascinated by it, and his attitude softened, and he didn't seem to be so opposed to it.
To him, this was as bad news as a thunderbolt from the clear sky.
Now, his only hope is that this kid doesn't know much about fine equipment.
However, when the weapons rose up and completely enveloped the selected fine steel, his heart could not help but twitch violently. For some reason, he just had a bad feeling.
Turning to look at Fang Xuande, he wanted to see a clue on the face of the blacksmith who was recognized as the most powerful in the family.
However, Fang Yide's heart gradually sank. Because he once again saw the infatuated expression on Fang Xuande's face.
Selected fine steel, although Ouyang Ming has seen a lot of this material, he has never been exposed to it many times. As for forging and refining, it was the first time the eldest girl had ever gotten on the sedan chair.
However, although Ouyang Ming has never beaten this material, he has forged materials that are tougher and stronger than it.
In the chaotic cave, the terrifying mouthparts of countless black reptiles could only grind away a trace of powdery stone for a long time. Whether it is hardness or toughness, it is better than selected fine steel.
On that day, Ouyang Ming could easily refine and forge even this kind of stone, let alone the inferior selected fine steel.
As the weapons continued to burn, the selected fine steel slowly melted like butter. Under the control of Ouyang Ming's thoughts, the melting juice slowly transformed into a long sword.
In my mind, the very familiar handwriting appeared again.
If you find an ingredient that can be improved, should you improve it
promote!
Following the instructions of his mind, the properties of the long sword surrounded by weapons in Ouyang Ming's hand increased rapidly.
After learning about the Fang family's ability to keep things under control, Ouyang Ming had a plan in mind. At this moment, it is undoubtedly the best time to carry out this plan.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to add sharpness and hardness to it. In just a moment, this long sword has reached the ultimate level of materials that can be made.
Item: Otherworldly Longsword
Level: The fifth level of exquisite mortal artifacts
Attributes: Sharpness +20, Tenacity +20, Durability 18
A faint smile flashed across his face. Ouyang Ming put away his weapons and placed the long sword on the forging platform. He nodded with a smile and said, "I'm going to trouble you again."
Ni Yinghong laughed dumbly and said: "Hehe, I don't find it troublesome."
Say it, she pinched her hands again, and the light of identification was immediately released.
Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly. When he appraised equipment with Ni Yunhong and Zheng Ziwen in the past, Ni Yinghong also had the ability to use the appraisal technique. However, due to the limitations of her mental strength and proficiency, her speed was far from as fast as it is today.
What's more important is that after releasing it once, she must rest for a quarter of an hour, and it is absolutely impossible to release the identification technique for the second time in a short period of time without breathing.
However, today, Ni Yinghong's demeanor when he released the identification technique has become relaxed and comfortable, as if there is no burden at all. These two changes are very different, and strangers may not be able to tell, but Ouyang Ming can already tell that her mental strength has been greatly improved compared to before.
Ouyang Ming sighed inwardly that after the Ni family found the family inheritance place, they immediately used it. And Ni Yinghong is undoubtedly one of the first beneficiaries.
"Grandpa Fang, this sword is the pinnacle of quality... fifth level!"
A look of surprise first appeared on Ni Yinghong's face, but just when Fang Yide was secretly happy, thinking that Ouyang Ming's forging had failed, she gave him an answer that made him despair.
Excellent product, fifth level!
Suddenly, whispers and discussions began, and even those strong men who were proficient in blacksmithing techniques felt quite suspicious.
"Impossible!" Fang Yide finally shouted unbearably.
In fact, he also knew that the possibility of Ni Yinghong spreading rumors and deceiving people was extremely slim. However, it was unbelievable to him that two pieces of equipment were at the peak level five.
Using selected fine steel as the material to forge equipment, the probability of producing a high-quality product is not low. As long as they are blacksmiths with real talent and knowledge, most of them can produce similar effects. But, fifth level, that is fifth level...
This guy just forged two weapons, one high-grade and one exquisite, but they are both fifth-level
Although I don’t know much about blacksmithing, I don’t know anything about it either. Even if you want to deceive people, don't be too obvious, okay...
"It's really unlikely."
Questioning voices sounded one after another. Not only did everyone in the Fang family have doubts, but some people in the Ni family also stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction with bright eyes.
Of course, these Ni family members are all powerful people from various branches, and they are only dissatisfied with the results, but no one dares to really accuse Ni Yinghong of cheating.
Ni Yinghong's expression remained unchanged, as if everything was as she expected.
"Grandpa Fang, may I ask why it's impossible?" she asked calmly.
Fang Yide snorted softly and said, "It is indeed possible that this long sword is of high quality, but it is of the fifth level. Haha, if I remember correctly, the long sword just now should also be of the fifth level."
Ni Yinghong said slowly: "Exactly."
Fang Yide smiled even brighter and said, "So, any equipment forged by Master Ou is of the fifth level?"
There were snickers all around. This was such an unreliable thing. Only people who knew nothing about blacksmithing could believe it.
"Hmph!" Ouyang Ming snorted suddenly, turned around, and walked to the side of the casting platform again.
His actions immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Ni Yinghong looked surprised and didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Ou Yangming's eyes swept across the casting platform. He reached out and picked up an iron ingot. This is the most common forging material, and is generally used by novices when practicing or when casting ordinary equipment on a large scale.
Even the most common formal weapons or spiritual fire blacksmiths don't bother to use them.
However, at this time, Ouyang Ming looked at the iron ingot for a moment, flashed the weapon in his hand, and immediately began to forge.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand what he was doing.
When forging equipment, the better the materials you make, the higher the quality of the equipment that can be forged. Now, Ouyang Ming has demonstrated his absolute strength in the blacksmithing technique. He has even forged exquisite peak-level fifth-level equipment from selected fine steel.
In this case, why did he choose this most common iron ingot
Among the many materials, iron ingots are undoubtedly the easiest thing to shape. Under the burning of Ouyang Ming's weapons, they melted almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly turned into a pair of leggings.
With a slight flick of his wrist, Ouyang Ming put away the weapon and placed it casually on the casting platform.
Then, without stopping, he took a selected iron ingot. The munitions burned again and enveloped him in an instant.
"Huh?" Fang Xuande said in surprise: "Did he want to..."
"What does he want to do?" Fang Yihai asked carelessly. Among everyone in the Fang family, he undoubtedly has the greatest confidence in Ouyang Ming. Because he had witnessed the forging competition between Ouyang Ming and Ni Yunhong with his own eyes, and knew that this young man could never treat it with common sense.
Fang Xuande hesitated for a moment and said: "We blacksmiths have a special way to test their skills." He thought for a while and said: "This method is to use different materials to forge a complete set of basic equipment, because the material itself There are limitations, so there will be a huge gap in the quality of the forged equipment. However, the specific level of the quality they belong to represents the true strength of the blacksmith. "
Fang Yihai and everyone around them suddenly realized.
However, precisely because they knew this, their eyes looked at Ouyang Ming with a hint of strange color.
The art of blacksmithing is endlessly mysterious, and the materials are even more bizarre. No one has ever dared to say that he can be proficient in the forging of all materials. Generally speaking, those who are good at forging selected iron ingots may not necessarily be able to master the forging of fine steel or above-grade materials.
Similarly, those who are good at forging fine steel may not necessarily be better at forging selected iron ingots than those blacksmiths who are slightly less qualified but have basically spent their lives on selected iron ingots.
Therefore, this collection of various preparations for forging multiple materials can reveal the true comprehensive strength of a blacksmith.
Ouyang Ming released his power unscrupulously, and the selected iron ingots were kneaded and shaped in his hands like dough. In just a moment, another leggings were formed.
Two leggings, two different materials.
However, this was not the end. Ouyang Ming continued to pick up a piece of fine steel. After a few glances, he seemed to be calculating something. Later, when the munitions burned again, part of the fine steel was immediately fused by the munitions and fell down.
The remaining part quickly turned into an arm guard.
Ouyang Ming seemed to be addicted. He put down the formed arm guard, picked up a piece of selected fine steel, and forged another arm guard.
After doing all this, Ouyang Ming suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "Senior Fang, could you please choose a material for me?"
