Chapter 72 Respecting Teacher Xing's Forging Skills
the next day.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at a weapon shop as promised.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
A beautiful woman walked up and asked.
"I'm looking for Teacher Xing."
"Xiao Weiqing, you arrived faster than I expected." Wang Hai came downstairs.
Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "Hello, Manager Wang. I can't just take your things for nothing."
"Go to the backyard yourself, the boss is inside."
"it is good."
We arrived at the backyard.
The clanging sound of blacksmithing continued.
Xiao Weiqing entered the weapon-refining room where Xing Tong was.
inside the house.
Xing Tong continued to hammer at the sword blank.
The sword embryo had undergone a major transformation and was beginning to show its potential.
"Xiao Weiqing, you've come at the right time. I thought it would be a day or two later."
Xing Tong was very happy to see Xiao Weiqing arrive.
"I've already forged this sword blank; now I'm just waiting to add obsidian."
Xing Tong gestured, and the obsidian floated at the tip of the sword.
"Here, it's your turn."
Xiao Weiqing didn't waste any words.
With a flick of a finger.
A flame shot out and began to heat the obsidian.
The fiery red flames began to burn, but the obsidian remained unchanged until Xiao Weiqing injected his Qi Fire, at which point it seemed to have a tendency to become fluid.
"Good, keep it that way."
Xiao Weiqing nodded and roughly calculated that it would consume about 30 strands of Qi Fire per minute.
"Teacher Xing, is half an hour enough?"
"That's enough, 20 minutes is enough."
Upon hearing this...
With renewed confidence, Xiao Weiqing maintained an output of 30 strands of Qi Fire per minute; otherwise, he feared it would take him half an hour to finish and cause delays.
"Tick-tock~"
A drop of black liquid, as black as ink, dripped from the bottom of the obsidian.
The drop of liquid fell onto the tip of the sword, and Xing Tong picked up the sword blank with one hand and began to hammer it.
Half a minute later, another drop fell.
Xing Tong did not look up. He gently swung the sword in his hand, precisely catching the dripping obsidian liquid with the blade, and then struck it again.
that's it.
Drop by drop.
Gradually, the obsidian began to become transparent, while the sword blank in Xing Tong's hand turned as black as ink, radiating a cold light.
Xing Tong stopped hammering when the obsidian became almost transparent.
"Perfect!"
"I originally thought I could extract at most 70% of the obsidian essence, but I didn't expect your flames to be so powerful that 90% of the obsidian essence was extracted."
Xiao Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief and put away the flames, as his inner fire energy had been mostly depleted.
"Xiao Weiqing, here, I'll transfer another 500 points to you."
"No need, Teacher Xing, we're in a partnership, payment will be made on a cash-and-carry basis," Xiao Weiqing quickly refused.
"Don't refuse, this sword is even more perfect than I expected."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "Then... does Teacher Xing have any other requests?"
Xing Tong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.
"Hey kid, I don't have any other requests. Just take these 500 points."
The two then became friends, and Xing Tong transferred 500 points to Xiao Weiqing.
"Thank you, Teacher Xing." Xiao Weiqing felt relieved.
The saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding."
Zhao Jia had said that in Xing Tong's place, no matter what the requirements were, they all started at 1000 points. He couldn't let a small thing cause him to lose a big one.
"Okay, you can go back now. I'll contact you again if I need anything."
"Okay, Teacher Xing."
Although there was no other work, I still got 500 points for free, which was a huge win.
Xiao Weiqing turned and left.
As soon as I stepped outside, I encountered an old man.
As the two brushed past each other.
The old man grabbed Xiao Weiqing's arm. "Huh? The fire of ultimate yang?"
The sudden change startled Xiao Weiqing, but his arm was held by the old man, and he couldn't pull it back.
"Hello, could you please let go?"
Hearing the commotion outside, Xing Tong came out shirtless.
"Old ghost Yan, take your claws off, don't scare Xiao Weiqing."
"Xiao Weiqing? What a nice name."
The old man released Xiao Weiqing and walked into Xing Tong's forging room.
Xing Tong turned and went back into the house, gesturing for Xiao Weiqing to follow. Xiao Weiqing didn't understand why, but he still followed her in.
"How's it going, Xing Tong? Do you want me to deal with that obsidian for you? I'll only charge you 8 points. Or you could build me a furnace too."
"Old man Yan, you vampire, 8 points? How can you even say that?"
"My name is Yan Xin. Don't keep calling me 'Old Devil Yan,' it's impolite."
"snort!"
Xing Tong snorted coldly and tossed the obsidian fragments to Yan Xin.
Yan Xin caught it and let out a soft exclamation, "Such a strong fiery aura."
"Did you do this?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded in response to Yan Xin's question.
Yan Xin turned on the bracelet and tapped it a few times.
"Xiao Weiqing, 18 years old, extraordinary talent, Samadhi True Fire?"
"You're 18, which means you're a freshman."
"Would it be convenient for you to show me the flame?"
Xiao Weiqing looked at Xing Tong with a puzzled expression.
Xing Tong raised an eyebrow and said, "This guy refines pills and sells medicine; he has more points than me."
Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "Okay."
boom!
Extending his left hand, a fireball a foot in diameter suddenly appeared, with golden flames dancing like spirits within.
The moment Yan Xin saw the golden flames, his eyes lit up, and he clicked his tongue in admiration, "It truly is the fire of ultimate yang."
"Xiao Weiqing, would you be interested in doing me a favor?"
"help?"
Xiao Weiqing's eyes darted around, then his face lit up with joy; he could smell the scent of points.
"Teacher Yan, what can I do for you?"
"Never mind the busy work, here's 5 points," Xing Tong said.
Yan Xin glared at Xing Tong.
"It's just refining a few herbs, much simpler than tempering obsidian, how about it?"
Xiao Weiqing asked, "How many points will you give?"
Yan Xin smiled and gave the gesture.
"6? Deal!" Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed; he had met another good person.
Yan Xin retorted irritably, "Do I look like a sucker?"
"600, how about that?"
"Not very good."
Xiao Weiqing turned to Xing Tongdao and said, "Teacher Xing, please contact me if you need any help. We can discuss the points."
He then turned and left, ignoring Yan Xin.
"Hey, hey, don't go! You kid, you're trying to bargain!"
Yan Xin quickly stopped Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing stopped and said, "I helped Teacher Xing temper the obsidian, and Teacher Xing gave me 3 points and a Crimson Dragon sword."
"The Crimson Dragon is worth 2 points," Xiao Weiqing added.
"Teacher Yan, are you insulting me with 600 points? Or are you insulting your own judgment?"
"Or is it that Teacher Xing has poor judgment?"
"Okay, okay, how much do you want?"
"Like Teacher Xing, 5 points."
Yan Xin said, "Go ahead and rob me. That bloodsucking Xing Tong, do you really think he'd give you 5 points?"
"I've seen that Crimson Dragon before. It was made from the leftover materials from the forge I was given. It's worth at most 1 points."
Xiao Weiqing remained unmoved. "In my heart, that Crimson Dragon is definitely worth 2 points. This is my respect for Teacher Xing's forging skills. You should know that it was all forged by Teacher Xing day and night, through countless hammering and forging."
"Everyone in the entire Great Xia Dynasty knows about Teacher Xing's skills."
Xing Tong twitched the corner of his mouth. If he hadn't heard Wang Hai mention what happened when this kid bought the knife, he would have really believed it.
"Alright, 2000 points. Help me refine a few herbs. If you need anything else, we'll calculate it separately. Are you in?" Yan Xin said.
"make a deal!"
Yan Xin: "..."
Xiao Weiqing extended his wristband. "Teacher Yan, is it convenient to pay the deposit?"
Yan Xin smiled and said, "Interesting." He fiddled with the bracelet a few times and said, "Here are your points. Come to my place tomorrow afternoon."
"I know you're new to school and lack points, so consider this my investment in you."
Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed to receive the points. "Thank you, Teacher Yan. Please feel free to ask me for help in the future."
"You little rascal, you change your tune really fast. Go on, Teacher Xing and I have something to discuss."
"Don't forget tomorrow afternoon, I'll send you the address for the bracelet."
"Okay, goodbye, teachers."
After Xiao Weiqing left.
"Old Xing, get me five stoves. I'll send someone to deliver the materials to you tomorrow."
"10 million!"
"roll!"
"You think I'm a sucker too? It's just for refining low-level pills. 5 each. Take it or leave it. If not, I'll find someone else."
"Okay, 5,000 it is."
"By the way, haven't you been refining low-level pills in a long time? Did you go bankrupt?"
Yan Xin angrily retorted, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. The academy ordered these to be made for new students to use in their training."
Xing Tong nodded slightly. "Okay, I understand. I'll do it as soon as possible."
