Chapter 171: A Sixteen-Year-Old Second-Rank Swordsmith
Standing in front of Jianding, Lin Xi felt helpless on his face. This situation of being watched by everyone made him feel very strange.
With a wry smile, Lin Xi shook her head, and then calmed down. Since he had already asked and the other party was satisfied, if he changed his mind halfway, it would not be a glorious thing.
"It's not a difficult thing anyway."
Lin Xi let out a light breath, no longer hesitated, and then attached the sword cauldron handle with both hands. The sword element poured in and the airflow suddenly flashed.
He reached out and grabbed a sword blank and threw it in, slowly floating in the cauldron. Lin Xi flipped his right hand and Feng Yanhuo rose up, then bounced directly into the sword calendar, wrapped in the rough sword blank, and the white flame slowly burned.
When watching the rare white spiritual fire at such a close distance, the eyes of the people around them were extremely strange, with a hint of excitement. After all, this high-quality spiritual fire is rare in normal times.
Shiying and Zhou Xin on the side were full of envy. For sword-casting masters, a high-quality spiritual fire is strictly more attractive than some advanced martial arts and spiritual skills. It not only affects the success rate of sword-casting, but also affects the future achievements of each sword-casting master.
Lin Xi was focused on her mind and ignored the eyes of the people around her. Her dark eyes were filled with peace, staring at the sword blank wrapped in the sword cauldron, which was wrapped in the spirit fire.
The roughness of this sword blank is much higher than the assessment of the first-class swordsman just now. Although Lin Xi is confident enough, he must be careful.
Within the sword tripod, the spiritual fire tumbling and the hot temperature caused the space around Lin Xi to be slightly distorted. Everyone was staring at Lin Xi's movements intently, and even the subtle blinking movements decreased.
The process of picking the mess lasted for several incense sticks. When the sword blank in the tripod began to emit a smooth luster, Lin Xi reached out and grabbed it, and took two spiritual ores. Then his palm shook and threw it into the sword tripod.
Seeing that the other party was so relaxed, it was because of the process of picking up the mess. Feng Nan and the old man on the side suddenly lit up, and they looked at each other, showing a look of great anticipation.
Lin Xi's mind was completely sunk into the sword casting, and the glazed gold and sea heart stone began to melt slowly under the phoenix fire.
This process is much simpler for Lin Xi, who has Fengyan Fire. In less than half an hour, these two spiritual ores turned into two thick balls of mucus under the burning of high temperature.
Taking a breath, Lin Xi adjusted his condition for a while, then controlled the two balls of liquid and began to smel the last step.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and concentrated. As sword-casting masters, they all knew very well that this last step was the most important and difficult step in the sword-casting process, especially the fusion of the two spiritual ores, which was a great test of the sword-casting ability of the sword-casting master to control the spirit fire. If you are not careful, you will face the consequences of the sword-casting mine being destroyed.
The three spiritual fires burn to varying degrees, which means that the fire controller must divide the three mental spirits, and requires the control of each spiritual fire to reach an extremely accurate level. This is also the most test of the advanced swordsman.
Time passed slowly, and everyone's mind was filled with this thought: Maybe this guy can really successfully complete the casting of the yellow-level intermediate spiritual sword.
Finally, it was the final process. Lin Xi's face was solemn and she dared not relax at all. Her movements in her hands were free and easy, giving people a strong illusion of a master's demeanor.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Lin Xi's movements suddenly stopped, and then a slight explosion suddenly sounded, and it seemed extremely clear in this extremely quiet hall.
"Hmm? Failed?" Hearing this sound, everyone around him was shocked and looked ahead without blinking.
Feng Nan, not far away, frowned, but then he relaxed again, because he saw that as the sound rang out, a white mist suddenly appeared above the sword tripod, followed by a wave of spiritual energy coming out of the sword tripod and slowly spreading.
Lin Xi slapped the sword tripod with his palm, and a light blue spiritual sword floated out, staring at the spiritual sword tightly. With his palm, he accurately grabbed the hilt of the sword, and then a slight sword element poured into it.
The sword body is very vague and the real situation above cannot be seen clearly. To be precise, it should be wrapped in a layer of white fog, which hinders the observation's vision.
"Hmm? A unique attribute was born?" Feng Nan's eyes narrowed, and then he walked over quickly with the old man next to him.
After observing the spirit sword at close range, Feng Nan clearly saw that under the indoctrination of the opponent's sword, the body of the spirit sword was indeed wrapped in a thick layer of white mist, and only vague blue lights were seen coming out, which was very magical.
Looking at the circle of white mist, Feng Nan and the old man burst their mouths in amazement. During the sword casting process, if the spirit ore is special and the sword casting master himself is extremely powerful, when the luster and quality of the spirit sword comes out of the tripod reaches its peak, unique attributes will be born under extremely accidental circumstances.
As for what kind of strange attributes it is, it depends on what kind of spiritual ore is used.
"Lin Xi, what attributes did this spiritual sword be born?" Feng Nan looked for a long time but couldn't see the reason, so he had to ask.
The word attribute came into my ears, and everyone around me stared blankly at the spirit sword that emitted blurred blue light in the other party's hands. Unexpectedly, the other party successfully casting the yellow-level intermediate spirit sword was not enough, and attributes were actually born.
"I just checked it. When this spiritual sword is facing the enemy, it will emit white mist that blocks the opponent's sight. However, this white mist does not have any attack power, which is a pity." Lin Xi moved his eyes away from the spiritual sword in his hand and replied with a smile.
"Oh? This attribute is strange. In some cases, it is also a good way to fight the enemy." Feng Nan nodded with a smile, and looked at the old man next to him, his eyes full of excitement.
Such a young sword-making genius appeared in Tengyang Domain. How could he not make them happy?
"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the assessment of the second-grade sword-casting master. Starting today, you will officially become a qualified second-grade sword-casting master!" Feng Nan announced Longsheng.
After hearing Feng Nan's words, everyone's throats rolled involuntarily in the hall. A sixteen-year-old second-grade swordsman?
If someone told them this, they would definitely slap them without hesitation. Are you using me to have fun?
But now, they have witnessed the rise of a genius with their own eyes, and they cannot stand unbearable.
"What a terrifying guy..." Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and sighed in their hearts. The sixteen-year-old second-grade swordsman is probably very rare in the entire Seven Sword Continent?
Shiying and Zhou Xin looked at each other, both of them shook their heads with a bitter smile, and a trace of frustration appeared in their eyes. The other's talent for sword making was a little scary, and they could not have a trace of comparing with it.
Feng Nan's eyes became brighter and brighter. When he observed the other party's sword making at such a close distance, he clearly saw that even he had to admire the other party's praiseworthy fire control technique. Perhaps the other party's teacher was really an existence that he had to look up to.
Feng Nan waved to a subordinate, who hurried into a room and walked out with a jade plate after a moment.
"This is the jade plaque and characteristic clothing of the second-grade swordsman. Your name is above the jade plaque, which is not fake. You can do anything in the mainland. If you need a special spiritual mine, you can issue a reward at the union at any time."
"The Sword Forging Masters Union has gathered almost all the sword forging masters on the mainland. Their private possessions are much deeper than those of the sword forging masters, especially in terms of spiritual mines. Some things that the Chamber of Commerce does not have, maybe you can find in our Sword Forging Masters Union."
"We sword-casting masters have certain privileges in many occasions. Sometimes, you can make good use of them. But one thing is that you must not do anything bad under the banner of the sword-casting master union, haha." Feng Nan explained patiently.
"Of course." Lin Xi nodded with a smile, reached out to take the jade token and clothing.
On the front of the jade plaque, there is a big word "吴" engraved with the words "吴" next to the font, and a golden spirit sword is inlaid on the back. Lin Xi touched the material of the clothing. It was very soft and had no roughness. It seemed that the materials used to make this clothing were not simple.
"Since today's assessment has ended, everyone will be disbanded. Those who fail hope that next time, there will be a result that satisfies them." Feng Nan waved to everyone.
Upon hearing this, some people who passed the assessment excitedly received the jade tokens and clothing, and then followed everyone away from the hall. Before leaving, they did not forget to look at Lin Xi, who had successfully passed the second-grade swordsman assessment.
Lin Xi also turned around and was about to leave, but Feng Nan's voice suddenly came.
"Little brother, do you have time? Let's talk together?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Xi turned around, looked at the other party in confusion, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Haha, OK." Feng Nan was obviously much happier when he heard the other party agreeing, and said to the two girls standing beside him: "Shiying, Zhou Xin, you guys go out first, we have something to do."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xin pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything. Compared with the pervert in front of her, she was indeed a big difference.
"Stop watching, let's go." Shiying was quite calm and pulled Zhou Xin toward the door.
"What are you complaining about? A sixteen-year-old second-grade swordsman, why don't you let others win over?"
"Isn't it just a second-grade sword-casting master..." Zhou Xin snorted lightly, but in the end he spoke significantly lowered a lot. The figures of the two walked out of the door and disappeared into the hall.
