Chapter 51: Star Meteorite Iron
Chapter 51: Star Meteorite Iron
The area of the refining workshop was not small, so it was easy to find it even if it hadn't been inspected with Divine Consciousness in advance.
Mo Xiu took Yan Ran into the refining workshop and was not blocked by anyone. There was only one person inside, a short and chubby little old man.
The old man's beard and hair were all white. He seemed to be in a certain old age, but his eyes were big and very sharp as if he could see through everything.
At this moment, he was holding a hammer, shirtless, swaying, and knocking on a piece of iron that was already burning red. He looked sweaty and busy to the point that he didn't notice that two people had come to the workshop.
There were a total of five refining furnaces in the refining workshop, but only one of them was operating. It was unknown if everyone else was resting, or this refining workshop had been contracted by the old man alone.
Mo Xiu stood behind the old man and watched for a while, then secretly shook his head.
Although this old man's refining weapon was quite satisfactory, it was just a mortal refining technique, and only the Mortal-grade ones could be refined. It would be idiotic to be able to refine a good weapon.
The finished products placed in the refining workshop were indeed some waste, not to mention Mo Xiu looking down on it, Yan Ran also disliked it.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?" Yan Ran noticed Mo Xiu's reaction and couldn't help but whisper.
Mo Xiu remained silent without answering.
The old man knocked dozens of times on the iron plate, bouncing out sparks everywhere, forging a lot of impurities, and then putting the iron plate into the furnace to continue smelting.
He grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped his sweat. Then he noticed Mo Xiu and Yan Ran. He was shocked. After taking two or three steps back, he almost ran into a mixing furnace.
"What the hell are you two? Why are there no footsteps? Are you going to scare people?" He couldn't help complaining.
He seemed not very curious about the identities of the two.
Mo Xiu did not argue with him but asked, "Are you the person in charge of this refining workshop?"
"Exactly!" The old man with his hands on his hips seemed a little smug looking at his expression.
Mo Xiu: "Well, I need a piece of refining material, you give it to me."
Hearing this, the old man froze for a moment.
Soon he showed a very happy expression, still did not ask Mo Xiu's identity but said, "Young man, you seem to be interested in refining tools?"
As he said, he smiled, "Looking at your bones, I'm very surprised, you are a good seedling for refining tools, so this old man can reluctantly accept you as a named disciple."
"..."
Yan Ran couldn't help but glanced at the old man, always feeling that this old head was funny.
Her gaze searched through the accumulated materials, wanting to see what kind of materials Mo Xiu could ask for, but after searching for a long time, she could not find the answer, so she had to give up.
Mo Xiu didn't expect the other party to have the confidence to say that he would accept himself as a named disciple.
He shook his head slightly, "With your skill in refining, you can't guide me."
"What's wrong with the level of this old man? Are you looking down on this old man?" the old man was immediately unhappy, "I am not afraid to tell you that this old man is going to become the number one Master Refiner in the Yan Kingdom in the future, so before the ripe time goes rotten, you better consider it first!"
"If you want to become a master craftsman in the Yan Kingdom, you must at least be able to craft a Magic Weapon, but what you craft is not even a Spiritual Weapon." Mo Xiu attacked mercilessly.
The old man suddenly wilted, "Isn't isn't it because there are no good refining materials? When this old man finds the best refining materials, not to mention Magic Weapon, even an Artifact can also be refined."
The ranks of weapons divided from lowest to highest were: Spiritual Weapon, Magic Weapon, and Artifact. Artifact was only one rank higher than Magic Weapon, but Mo Xiu had not found any Artifact in the Yan Kingdom so far.
Not to mention Artifact, even Magic Weapons were quite rare, so anyone who could refine a Magic Weapon would be called a Master Refiner by Yan people.
The number of refining masters was even rarer than that of those treasures. With the refining level of the old man in front of him, even if he found the best refining materials, he could still not refine Magic Weapon, let alone Artifact.
It would be a waste to take the first-class materials for him to refine.
Having said that, he did not expose it but said, "In any case, you are not qualified to guide me, and I am not here to be your apprentice either but to ask you for materials."
"I know, I know. I'll just give it to you, pick which material you want..."
After the old man said, he soon realized something, "Since you ask this old man for materials, is it possible that you are also a tool refiner?"
"Yes." Mo Xiu nodded.
The old man suddenly became interested again, "That's good, let's try a game with this old man to see who can refine a better weapon. If you lose to this old man, you will follow this old man as your teacher. If this old man loses to you, I will worship you as a teacher. How about it?"
Mo Xiu couldn't help but glanced at the old man and shook his head slightly, "You are not worthy of being my disciple either."
"Hey, you, the competition has started yet, how do you know that I will definitely lose to you?" the old man got angry, "let's say the ugly thing first, if you don't compete with this old man, this old man will not give you material!"
"The thing I fancy is mine, why don't you want to give it to me?" Mo Xiu said, walking straight to the pile of waste materials where the piece of Star Meteorite Iron found earlier.
The old man froze for a moment as he quickly rushed to Mo Xiu and stopped him, "Boy, you are unreasonable, this is the Su Family, you should not belong to the Su Family, right?"
Mo Xiu didn't bother to talk nonsense with the old man anymore, an invisible force swept away, like a wave pushing the old man aside.
"You..." The old man finally stood firm and looked at Mo Xiu, somewhat surprised.
Of course, he knew that the power just now came from Mo Xiu, but the power of Mo Xiu pushed him away easily. Wasn't this too strong?
Anyway, he was also a Core Formation cultivator. How strong was this young man to be able to push him away so easily?
What was the identity of this guy? Why would such a powerful person appear in Su Family's mansion?
Before asking, he saw Mo Xiu raised his hand and grabbed the void. An iron block covered with soil and rust in the waste material pile fell into Mo Xiu's hands.
"You... you want this material?" The old man was surprised.
"Yeah." Mo Xiu nodded gently.
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched fiercely and then he said, "It's just a piece of broken iron that has been rusted. What kind of weapon can be refined from it? Sure enough, your cultivation base is indeed higher than the average person, but the skill of refining is not as good as this old man. No wonder you dare not compete with the old man."
Mo Xiu: "You are provoking me again and again."
"So what? If you have the ability, you can compete with this old man," the old man said aggressively, "don't worry, even if you lose to this old man, I will only let you call me Master, and will not make you do anything embarrassing."
"If I win, I won't accept you as an apprentice. As I said, you are not worthy of being my disciple." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.
"Hey, you little brat that sentence again," the old man looked very upset, "you can ask for what you want. As long as it is not too excessive, this old man can promise you."
"Then what if I want the Su Family to surrender to me?" Mo Xiu said abruptly.
The old man was a little surprised at once, raised his head, and looked at Mo Xiu a few more times, his eyes flickering, and his whole person also became serious.
Regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Mo Xiu found a place to sit down, used his True Energy, and shot out a True Fire, which burned on the broken iron.
"Shizz..."
The dirt and rust on the surface of the broken iron piece gradually fell off as it was completely renewed in the blink of an eye.
The old man glanced at it and was immediately stunned. The iron piece was black with a little grayish brown, and it was covered with some white spots like stars in the night sky.
"This... is this Star Meteorite Iron?"
Although the old man's craftsmanship level was not high, he still knew the goods after all, but he never thought that a piece of broken iron found by Mo Xiu from the waste material pile would be a Star Meteorite Iron.
In Mo Xiu's cognition, Star Meteorite Iron was at best considered a top-grade material for refining was actually not a top-level material at all, but the old man's knowledge was not as broad as that of Mo Xiu. So in his eyes, Star Meteorite Iron was already It is the top-level material.
Such a piece of broken iron was actually the Star Meteorite Iron? How could this be?
Also, because of his ignorance, he almost threw the Star Meteorite Iron as trash?
How did this young man do it? Why could the legendary Star Meteorite Iron be recognized at a glance in a pile of discarded materials?
Before he could figure out the situation, he saw Mo Xiu raising his hand to create a series of complicated seals, without even using the refining furnace, directly facing him, and tempering it with flames.
"What kind of refining technique is this? It can be refined without a refining furnace?" The old man looked dumbfounded.
Yan Ran was also a little dumbfounded. She had a certain understanding of Mo Xiu's mystery and power. She knew that Mo Xiu was a very extraordinary alchemist. He once refined a furnace of twelve Storm Pills without a furnace too.
She also knew that Mo Xiu's array technique was very superb, and his martial strength was extraordinary too. Few people in the entire Yan Kingdom could be his opponents.
But now she knew that Mo Xiu was even capable of refining weapons, and it seemed that his refining level was also very high.
Was there anything Mo Xiu couldn't do?
More importantly, not to mention the first time she saw Mo Xiu's refining technique without a refining furnace, she had never heard of it in the past. So she estimated that this was Mo Xiu's unique skill.
In fact, this was indeed Mo Xiu's unique knowledge. When he just learned how to refine weapons in his previous life, he used the refining furnace as well. He had to smelt it carefully like a normal refining master and slowly forge it step by step.
It wasn't until he learned the pill refining technique in the alchemy technique that Mo Xiu tried to apply its principles to the way of refining weapons and tools, and the result was a great success, so he had the current refining technique.
Just a piece of Star Meteorite Iron was naturally not enough to refine a weapon, but other things were not particularly unusual, Mo Xiu had prepared some of it himself, and there was no need to ask the old man for it.
After scorching and tempering the remaining few things that need to be used, he increased the output of the True Energy, and the power of the True Fire also increased a few points, and then all the materials were put together and burned into liquid.
This time, the weapon he wanted to refine was still a sword, but it was not a flying sword, but a murderous sword named "Abyss Demon Sword".
