Chapter 157 Sharpening Process

The swordsmith was beating continuously, and the power of his blood flowed from his body into the casting hammer in his hand.

The minerals he pounded were slowly deforming.

About half an hour later, the beaten mineral had turned into the shape of a long knife.

"Is this a ghost-slaying sword being forged?" Lu Yao thought curiously.

Now they could only watch silently, not daring to disturb the knife maker's work.

Another 10 minutes passed before the knife maker finally stopped what he was doing.

"Master, these five young men are here to sharpen the edge of the Demon Slayer Sword." Seeing the swordsmith finishing the work at hand, the young man immediately told Lu Yao and the others their purpose.

The swordsmith looked at Lu Yao and the five of them up and down.

"Yes, your energy and blood are not weak." The swordsmith smiled.

When working, this knife maker is particularly serious and serious.

After work, he became a little more easy-going and approachable.

"This is Master Mo Ye, a very excellent swordsmith." Bai Nian introduced to Lu Yao and the others, "This time, Master Mo Ye will sharpen your ghost-slaying sword."

After the introduction, he said to the swordsmith Mo Ye: "Master Mo Ye, my mission has been completed. I will leave these young men to you."

Mo Ye nodded, Bai Nian said goodbye to them and left the yard.

"Master Mo Ye, we are the new ghost slayers who have entered the ghost slaying team in this assessment. This time, I would like you to sharpen our ghost slaying sword." Lu Yao introduced.

"My name is Lu Yao."

Then he began to introduce the partners around him one by one.

"I understand, you arrived relatively late." Master Mo Ye said, "This time, let me sharpen your ghost-slaying sword."

"You need to stay here for three days. During these three days, you also need to contribute to sharpening your own demon-slaying sword."

"I understand, if you need anything, just tell us." Lu Yao nodded.

"You hand over the Demon Slayer Sword to me first, and I will now start the first step of sharpening it for you." Master Mo Ye said.

Lu Yao and the other five took off the ghost-killing swords on their bodies and handed them to Master Mo Ye.

Master Mo Ye put five ghost-slaying knives into the casting furnace.

"Huaiping will tell you the rest of the process." Master Mo Ye said.

Huaiping was the young man who received them, and he was also Mo Ye's student.

"Please follow me," Huaiping said politely.

He took Lu Yao and the others to a room.

There is a long table in the room, and there are several stools next to the long table.

There are several small bowls with a radius of about 5 cm on the long table.

"Guys, please take a seat," Huaiping said.

Lu Yao and the others sat at the long table.

They all looked at Huaiping curiously.

"In the first step of sharpening, we need your blood. The small bowl on the table is for your blood. Each of you needs to provide at least half a bowl of blood." Huaiping said.

"Starting from the next day, you need to continuously input the power of qi and blood into your ghost-slaying sword."

"This step will take two days. After two days, your Demon Slayer Sword will be sharpened successfully."

"We still need to bleed, it won't be very painful." Zhao Dieyi frowned.

"More than half a bowl of blood, that's a lot."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Which of you will come first?" Huaiping asked.

"I'll go first!" Lu Yao said proactively.

Huaiping took out a wooden box and came to Lu Yao's side.

"Little master, how do you need me to cooperate with you?" Lu Yao asked curiously.

"Just reach out your hand." Huaiping said with a smile.

Lu Yao put his right hand on the table.

Huaiping put Lu Yao's finger on the small bowl.

Then I opened the wooden box, and there were some silver needles inside.

"It won't be painful," Huaiping comforted.

Then he took out a silver needle and pricked some acupuncture points on Lu Yao's wrist.

Then he used a knife as wide as his finger to make a small cut of about one centimeter on Lu Yao's finger.

The blood flowed into the small bowl from the location drawn by the knife edge.

Lu Yao felt a slight tingling sensation.

In about a minute, the small bowl was more than half full.

Huaiping removed the silver needle, and Lu Yao's blood stopped flowing.

Huaiping took out a brown-black pill.

"Here you go, this is a blood-tonifying pill. You can use it now," Huaiping said.

Lu Yao nodded, took the blood-tonifying pill he handed over, and then swallowed it.

Different from when he used Xueqi Pills, he still had obvious feelings when using Xueqi Pills.

After taking the blood supplement pills, I don’t feel any special feeling at all.

After Lu Yao's blood was collected, the other four friends followed.

"Next, I will give your blood to the master." Huaiping said, "The master will use your blood to water your ghost-slaying swords, and then your ghost-slaying swords will be tempered at high temperatures for one night."

"By tomorrow, your Demon Slayer Sword will be able to absorb the power of your blood more easily."

"At this time, you need to input the power of energy and blood into your ghost-slaying sword every once in a while."

The five people nodded, seeming to understand.

"At six o'clock, I will have dinner prepared for you, and you will have dinner at this place," Huaiping said.

After the explanation, Huaiping left them.

"Let's go, let's go see how Master Mo Ye forges knives." Lu Yao said, "Anyway, it's quite boring for us to stay here."

The four of them followed Lu Yao and came to the courtyard again.

Huaiping had already brought five small bowls containing the blood of the five of them to the casting furnace.

The five ghost-slaying swords were already burning red.

Lu Yao and the others stood 3 meters away from the casting furnace and did not dare to disturb the foundry's work.

Master Mo Ye took off a red-hot demon-slaying sword, and then poured blood into the blade of the sword.

After this blood entered the blade, it was absorbed instantly.

Then Mo Ye took off the second red-hot ghost-slaying sword and performed the same operation.

After pouring blood into the five ghost-slaying knives, Master Mo Ye placed the ghost-slaying knives to cool down, and then put the ghost-slaying knives into the casting furnace again.

"It turns out to be cast like this, why does it feel a little weird?" Lu Yao thought to himself.

This method of forging knives was similar to some evil methods of forging weapons that he had seen in his previous life.

At about six o'clock, Huaiping informed them that it was time to have dinner.

After dinner, Huaiping arranged a place for them to stay.

They were arranged in two rooms, one with two beds. Lu Yao, Du Tong, Zhan Yu, and Lei Ming lived here.

There is another room with a bed, and Zhao Dieyi lives in a room alone.

They did not choose to go to bed early at night.

They were still practicing breathing techniques and combat skills in the yard.

It wasn't until after 9 o'clock that they returned to the house to rest.

They woke up naturally at around seven o'clock the next day, and Huaiping also prepared breakfast for them.

"You need to work harder today and tomorrow." Huaiping said to the four of them.

"You need to constantly input the power of energy and blood into your respective ghost-slaying swords."

"Every time, you need to use up the power of your energy and blood, so that the quality of your ghost-slaying sword will also be improved."

The five people nodded to express their understanding.
