After a night of hard work.

Jiang Ren successfully increased the mysterious energy a lot, and the total volume changed from a soybean to a glass bead.

And in the process, he also found that the duration of the last few exercises has improved a lot compared to the first time, about one-tenth.

This also makes Jiang Ren confident, and only visible progress will generate more motivation.

"First set a small goal for yourself and fill the blade with mysterious energy."

Jiang Ren, who once again exhausted his energy and had some empty thoughts, thought silently.

As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. When the mysterious energy fills the blade, some surprising changes may occur.

However, these are just his guesses.

After all, I have never been exposed to it before, and even if a change does occur, it may not be good or bad.

Squeak!

The wooden door of the blacksmith shop was opened, and the strong blacksmith walked in, picked up the knife possessed by Jiang Ren, and gently brushed the blade with his rough palm, as if appreciating a treasure.

"Can't we show respect? Don't swords have human rights?"

Seeing the look in the blacksmith's eyes, Jiang Ren felt slightly uncomfortable.

If he could move now, he would definitely knock the blacksmith away. After all, this knife was his own body. Even if he had no sense of external stimulation, being treated like this by a man would not make him feel much better.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

The blacksmith takes the knife and begins the final step of "grinding" it.

It can be seen from his occasional words to himself that grinding means sharpening the edge and grinding away the uneven places.

Grinding includes rough grinding, fine grinding, and fine grinding.

It has to go through more than ten processes in sequence from coarse to fine, and it may take five or six days to complete at the earliest, or dozens of days at the worst.

During this process, Jiang Ren felt very strange, as if he was being scratched.

"As a knife, there is no pain at all. It looks good, but it always feels like something is missing."

Jiang Ren let out a silent sigh and once again devoted himself to the practice of expanding the mysterious energy.

That's right, it's not exercise, it's cultivation.

This kind of spiritual power increases at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is not an exercise in the ordinary world. It is clearly a practice in this extraordinary world.

Half a month later, Jiang Ren had completely changed his appearance.

Originally it could only be described as a rough knife-shaped piece of iron.

Now, the blade of the knife is sharp, smooth and bright, with straight ridges and standard grooves. The blade has a "mirror" and "frost and snow" effect, with a cold light and forged patterns on the surface, which is very beautiful.

Anyone who sees it will praise it as "a good knife".

Moreover, the blacksmith also equipped Jiang Ren with a suitable scabbard. There were no unnecessary patterns or decorations. The shape was very simple, but it was in line with Jiang Ren's aesthetics.

When all steps are completed.

Jiang Ren, who was in the scabbard, was placed in a red rectangular wooden box with an ordinary shape and no pattern.

Because there is far more rest time than training time, and there is no need to sleep around the clock.

Therefore, Jiang Ren also gradually learned some information about this world from the voices of blacksmiths, civilian men, and customers in shops outside.

For example, the continent below is called East Antarctica.

Nearly a hundred countries, large and small, live on it, and the blacksmith shop is located in a small country called Yi Country, with a total population of about two million.

Due to the large number of countries and the frequent occurrence of large countries swallowing up small countries and large countries swallowing up large countries, coupled with the normal and abnormal deaths of emperors of various countries, the era names are very confusing, so ordinary people use the Jiuzhou calendar to keep track of time.

Now, it happens to be May 5742 of the Jiuzhou Calendar.

But unfortunately, Jiang Ren did not hear anything about cultivating immortals from their words.

On the contrary, I heard a lot of rumors about the martial arts. Either a young knight-errant wiped out a group of bandits, or a martial arts figure who washed his hands in a golden basin was brutally wiped out.

In view of this, Jiang Ren focused more on increasing mysterious energy.

A few more days.

"After spending so much time, I finally only have the last bit left."

Jiang Ren looked at the results of his cultivation and felt slightly satisfied.

At this moment, the blade of the blade is filled with mysterious energy, and only the tip of the blade has a trace of space left unfilled.

Feel refreshed.

Jiang Ren immediately concentrated all his energy and increased the mysterious energy to fill the gap.

puff!

An extremely subtle sound sounded from the knife.

Somewhere in the dark, Jiang Ren suddenly felt that he had a special connection with the blade, although he still could not move the blade or affect external things.

But the hardness and sharpness of the knife can be improved through mysterious energy.

“A good start.”

Jiang Ren smiled. Since the blade can be strengthened, sooner or later it can be upgraded to a magical weapon, or even a weapon with powerful power in the inventory of the system mall.

The biggest advantage of this is that it can enhance your ability to survive.

After all, it is a knife, and it is a custom-made knife. It will never be treated as a collection. It is very likely to fall into the hands of a tool maker and martial artist, and then fight with other weapons.

Although Jiang Ren felt good about himself, he was not naive enough to think that the blade would not be damaged during the fight.

in this case.

Every time the hardness and sharpness are increased by one point, the chance of damage will be reduced by one point.

"The blade is full of mysterious energy, and there is no way to increase it. How about trying the strengthening effect of the mysterious energy on the blade?"

Jiang Ren thought about it and was about to take action when he heard two footsteps coming from the shop outside the blacksmith shop.

One of them was obviously a blacksmith, while the other was as light-footed as a woman.

Immediately, Jiang Ren turned his attention outside the wooden box.

The wooden door was pushed open.

The blacksmith walked in with a smile on his face, followed by a man wearing a bamboo hat and gray attire.

"Only you can deserve it!"

The blacksmith picked up the red wooden box, opened it toward the man in the hat, and then opened the lid.

The man in the hat said nothing.

Just take out the knife, hold the scabbard with one hand and the handle with the other, and slowly pull it out.

"It doesn't look weak, but this outfit..."

Jiang Ren couldn't help but shake his head.

Judging from the small voice of the man in the hat when he walks, his martial arts skills should be pretty good.

But wearing such an obvious hat, if you meet an enemy, it is like saying to the opponent, "I'm here, come and get me."

This kind of seemingly low-key but actually high-profile tool man will probably need to be replaced soon if he doesn't have any strength.

The snow-white blade was exposed.

The light from outside shines on it, reflecting the cold light.

"Good knife!"

The man in the hat finally spoke.

The voice is slightly hoarse and stiff, but you can still hear the excitement in it.
Chapter completed!
