Chapter 115 Red Iron
With the power of the Wei family in Kaiyuan City, it was easy to find a place for Li Qing to forge iron.
Just before Li Qing was about to start the furnace, Grandpa Wei came in with two fist-sized pieces of red metal.
"Master Li, these two pieces of strange iron are things that our ancestors once collected. Can you think of a way to refine these two pieces of strange iron into the blade of a scimitar?"
As he said, Wei Cang handed the two unknown pieces of strange iron to Li Qing.
"Hey, this kind of iron is so strange, I have never heard of it before. Do you know what it is called?" Li Qing asked curiously.
Wei Cang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He answered truthfully: "I don't know. My ancestors once collected these two pieces of special metal with great difficulty. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a suitable master craftsman to forge the magic weapon."
"But according to the will left by my ancestors, this piece of red iron is likely to be made of the same material as the Demon Sword Red Lotus."
Demon Sword Red Lotus
This sword is too famous in the world, and has been given many titles, such as the world's number one sword and the world's most strange sword.
It is rumored that if the sword is controlled in the hand, if the sword holder is not strong enough, it may even affect the mind.
Of course, many of them are rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or false.
But being given so many titles is enough to show the terrifying nature of this sword.
Li Qing was also very curious about the demon sword, but he didn't expect to get two pieces of strange iron suspected to be forged from the Red Lotus Sword today.
Unlike other metals, these two pieces of red iron are very light and seem to be nothing in the hand.
But the surface is unusually hard. Li Qing could feel a tingling sensation when he touched the edge of the red iron with his finger.
In addition, Li Qing used a little bit of internal force to penetrate into the iron, and he could feel a little burning sensation.
"I have never forged such red iron before, but I can try. If the refining fails, don't blame me." Li Qing said calmly.
Wei Cang said repeatedly: "This is natural. Master Li, just let it go and don't worry too much."
That's what he said, but this strange metal must be priceless. If it really can't be melted, no matter how generous you are, you will feel distressed.
But Li Qing was too lazy to care so much. Since he had received a promise, he could forge it without any scruples.
Boom!
The vigorous flames rose in the furnace, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
The blazing fire reflected Li Qing's focused face. It was strange that although Li Qing looked ordinary, as long as he entered the state of forging iron, his whole temperament seemed to be calm, with a special charm that was very attractive.
As Li Qing put the iron ingot into the furnace, he began to carefully study the two pieces of red metal in his hand.
I don't know if it was an illusion, because at the moment when the fire heated up, Li Qing always felt that the two pieces of iron in his hand seemed to reveal a little burning meaning.
He thought about it, and finally decided to throw the two pieces of red iron into the furnace together.
Whoosh!
An amazing scene appeared. As the red iron entered the furnace, the flame that was burning just now suddenly became smaller, as if it was going to go out, and the temperature that had just risen also quickly subsided.
"Huh!"
As a blacksmith, Li Qing naturally has a keen perception of temperature changes, and he was surprised and doubtful.
"It's interesting that this hematite absorbs heat so quickly."
In a trance, he seemed to see the flames burning in the furnace drilling into the two pieces of iron.
After confirming that the temperature drop was not an illusion, Li Qing made a prompt decision and decided to continue to raise the temperature.
He wanted to see how much flame temperature these two pieces of red gold could absorb.
However, every time Li Qing raised the temperature of the furnace, the two pieces of red metal were like a bottomless pit, immediately swallowing up the flames.
Li Qing, who didn't know how much flame hematite could absorb, immediately asked the old man of the Wei family to send another forge.
If this continues, who knows when the iron in the forge will be burned red.
Soon, two forges were sent over, emitting terrible high temperatures at the same time.
Li Qing put the two pieces of hematite into another forge, and maintained the high temperature of the two furnaces at the same time.
It lasted for a long time, and even the ordinary iron was forged into a red-hot iron state, but the hematite in the other forge did not change much.
If Li Qing had not been extremely sensitive to the changes in metals, no one would have noticed that the two pieces of hematite had become more and more red, like two red flowers about to bloom.
Li Qing was not in a hurry to take out the hematite to check the changes in its state. He first took out the red-hot iron ingots and began to forge them.
Bang!
Under the sudden blow of the Wushuang Hammer, the iron ingots were immediately smashed into a flat state with almost no effort.
Accompanied by the splashing of sparks and the dull sound of hammering, the iron ingots were hammered into the shapes that Li Qing expected.
Li Qing was very serious and focused. Every movement was so straight, swinging the hammer and hammering. He was like a machine, and all his movements were surprisingly consistent.
In order to ensure the quality of the forged weapons, Li Qing spent a lot of thought on these ordinary irons.
He is very powerful. In fact, every forging is basically equivalent to the effect that other blacksmiths can achieve with dozens or hundreds of hammers.
Even so, Li Qing was still like an ordinary blacksmith, hammering every piece of iron ingots over and over again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The process of refining a weapon is bound to be very long, and even those watching from the side will find it boring.
The old man of the Wei family, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't bear the boring and high temperature, so he chose to leave the hot room, leaving only Li Qing to forge inside.
Listening to the constant beating sounds coming from inside, the old man of the Wei family couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.
"well!"
Why is such an outstanding young man not from their Wei family?
Judging from Li Qing's meticulous forging movements and his focused expression just now, he had confirmed that this young man's forging skills had indeed reached the pinnacle.
He no longer had any doubts about whether Li Qing could forge a peerless magic weapon.
He was really envious of such a young man who was both a famous craftsman in the world and a master of inner strength with extraordinary martial arts.
If someone like Li Qing could be born among the young children of the Wei family, then why would he need to worry about the future of the Wei family all day long? !
These useless things!
Thinking of this, the old man of the Wei family couldn't help but angrily cursed the younger members of his family again.
Almost as soon as he finished cursing secretly in his mind, a pretty and pretty figure walked over. She had an outstanding temperament, and the two dimples on her cheeks exuded a cute and charming aura.
The person coming is none other than Wei Qingqing!
"Greetings to Grandpa!" Wei Qingqing bowed obediently.
When Wei Cang saw this, he nodded primly in response, but didn't say much.
However, Wei Qingqing obviously didn't pass by by chance, he was obviously looking for Wei Cang.
"Grandpa, you really want to marry me to that fierce tiger Li Qing, but I don't even know him!"
"I don't want to marry him!"
Wei Qingqing stared at her beautiful eyes and spoke in a crying and pleading tone.
Hearing this, Wei Cang became even more angry.
"You are such a stupid girl!"
Wei Cang pointed at his own granddaughter. After all, he did not say any more serious words of scolding. He just said with a bit of hatred:
"Well, I would like to marry you to him, but that has to be done by someone else."
"You girl, I really spoil you to death. Do you really think that you are a royal princess? Marry whoever you want to marry? Don't marry anyone if you don't want to marry?"
"Let me tell you, little brother Li said he would focus on martial arts in this life and would not consider marriage issues!"
Hearing his grandfather's tone, Wei Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"Okay, then I wish grandpa a long life and good health, and Qingqing will leave first!"
After saying that, Wei Qingqing ran away as if running away.
Looking at his granddaughter's back, Wei Cang just shook his head and left without saying anything else.
However, after a while, Wei Qingqing, who had just slipped away, turned back again for some unknown reason.
"Since you are not here to marry me, then why did grandpa leave him in the family? I want to see."
Wei Qingqing played with the hair on her shoulders with her slender fingers as white as green onions, her eyebrows showing the liveliness and cunning unique to a girl.
After saying that, she sneaked towards the blacksmith shop step by step, and deliberately walked softly.
Speaking of which, she actually didn't have any ill feelings toward Li Qing.
But after all, she is a pregnant girl, so she naturally has her own fantasies about her future husband.
For example, if you are handsome and charming, it is best if you are capable of both literary and martial arts, and you should be a great hero with unparalleled martial arts skills!
Of course, she herself knew that it was basically difficult to meet such a person, but when she heard that the person she might marry was Li Qing, she felt somewhat disappointed.
After all, it's Li Qing's fault that his facial features are indeed a bit plain, not ugly, but definitely not handsome.
While guessing what Li Qing was doing, she walked closer to the blacksmith shop.
Through the open door, Wei Qingqing lay on one side beside the door, quietly looking at the scene inside.
Wow!
A hot breath hit her face, making her eyes watery because of the heat.
Wei Qingqing rubbed her beautiful eyes, and then took a closer look again.
Between the two red forges, a shirtless young man was forging a red iron plate with great concentration.
clang! clang! clang!
Li Qing was very attentive every time he swung the hammer. His expression was as if he was handling a precious treasure, and his movements were meticulous.
Every time the hammer hits, a large number of sparks are splashed out.
In this hot and hot room, sweat dripped from Li Qing's flawless figure, with no trace of fat visible.
Every muscle is so clear-cut, powerful yet beautiful.
Tick tock!
Wei Qingqing, who was watching secretly outside the door, unconsciously had his cheeks turn rosy.
I don’t know if it’s because the temperature in the blacksmith shop is too high or because of some other reason.
