Eternal Sword

Chapter 391 Sword Forging
"Brother Mei, there is no need to do this. You and I are just peers, discussing martial arts with each other. There is no such thing as a favor."

Chen Tang smiled slightly and didn't care.

Chen Tang said it lightly, but Mei Zhenyu knew the difference.

When peers or people of the same level discuss martial arts and exchange martial arts experiences, both sides will benefit.

What Chen Tang had just said to him, including the process of leading the race up the mountain, was more like instructions.

But he was of no help to Chen Tang.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Cheng Lie brought some food.

After the four of them had breakfast, according to the arrangement of the Langya Pavilion Master, Cheng Lie took Chen Tang to the back mountain of Langya Pavilion, where the armory was located.

Next to it, there is a smelting place.

Seven or eight young men were busying around inside. There was an elderly man with his upper body bare, revealing a strong and shiny body with muscles and a scar from a burn caused by sparks. He stood in front of the stage and repeatedly hammered a red-hot sword blank.

"Qi Bo."

Cheng Lie called out and gave a brief introduction to both parties.

Chen Tang told Qi Bo his purpose. Qi Bo opened the box and took a look, his face showing doubt.

"what?"

Qi Bo held a flying sword in his palm, examined it carefully for a long time, and said slowly: "This flying sword is so sharp that I have never seen it before. Brother Chen, are you sure you want to melt them all?"

"good."

Chen Tang nodded and said, "After smelting, it is best to cast it into a single sword."

Qi Bo pondered for a long time before saying, "The seven flying swords are made of special materials and have been tempered by the demon master day and night for many years. It is difficult to completely melt them with ordinary furnace fire."

"If we increase the wind speed and burn it day and night, we may be able to burn it until it becomes soft. Then, we can stack the seven flying swords together, forge and hammer them repeatedly to remove impurities, and then finalize them on this basis."

"In this case, it is difficult to change the shape of the blade. With my skills, I may be able to recast it into a sword, but it is difficult to transform it into a single blade."

Qi Bo spoke a lot of professional terms about blacksmithing and smelting. Chen Tang seemed to understand them, but he roughly understood that it was unlikely to cast it into a knife.

"Sword forging is also fine."

Chen Tang asked, "I wonder how long it will take to be cast?"

"It's hard to say."

Qi Bo shook his head and said, "It depends on how long it takes for the seven flying swords to be transformed and suitable for forging and hammering under the condition of burning day and night. If they can't be burned, I'm afraid we have to think of some other ways."

"Row."

Chen Tang said, "Thank you for your concern, Qi Bo. I will come back to take a look after some time."

Qi Bo said, "Brother Chen, I have something to say in advance. If this sword can be successfully forged, it will be the most proud work of my life, and it may even be as good as those famous swords handed down from generation to generation in the Sword Forging Villa."

"But I'm not too sure. If the burning time is not enough, or the temperature is not right, or there are some other minor changes, the forging may fail."

"If Brother Chen doesn't trust us, we can only go to the Sword Forging Villa. The four owners are all famous sword forging masters, so the chances of success are greater."

"There are only three left now."

Chen Tang muttered.

"what?"

Qi Bo was stunned and didn't understand.

Chen Tang changed the subject and said, "It's okay, just do your best."

For him, the main purpose is to melt the seven flying swords and eliminate possible hidden dangers.

As for forging weapons, just let it be.

He always had to find an opportunity to return to Qian Kingdom and take back "Wan Gu".

Whatever weapons we forge nowadays are just temporary weapons and can be used as a makeshift.

It would be best if Qi Bo could forge the sword successfully.

Even if the sword forging fails, the seven flying swords combined to forge a burning iron rod, which is no ordinary weapon, must be very powerful when it is swung to hit someone.

Chen Tang prepared himself mentally in advance and didn't have any expectations for this, so he turned around and left.

For the next ten days, Chen Tang and three others temporarily stayed in Langya Pavilion to avoid the limelight.

Every day, I would get some information about the various movements in the martial arts world. It was said that the pursuers from Zhujian Villa chased them to the foot of Langya Peak that day and searched everywhere, but they could not find any trace of Chen Tang and his four companions.

Later, Zhujian Villa also sent people up the mountain to inquire, and the guards of Langya Pavilion replied that they had never seen Chen Tang and his three companions, so the people from Zhujian Villa withdrew.

This incident caused quite a stir in Wuzhou.

After all, Zhujian Villa is a top-notch force in the martial arts world. Someone went to the villa to kill people and even killed the owner of the villa. It was really too arrogant.

Rumor has it that the perpetrator is a bandit and evildoer from the Xuantian Sect.

This is consistent with everyone's perception.

After all, only the Xuantian bandits would be so cruel and reckless!

However, not many people had seen Chen Tang and his three companions at the Sword Casting Villa that day. Most of them just greeted them briefly and did not have any deep impression of them.

There are so many guests coming in and out of the villa every day, who can remember them all?

The portrait that was published was only a rough sketch and was extremely sloppy.

Chen Tang was curious and went to take a look.

The only similarity is probably that there are two men and two women.

If they arrested people based on the portrait, even if they arrested the cook next door, they would probably not be able to catch Chen Tang and the other three.

After a few days, the heat of this matter gradually died down.

When mentioning this matter, everyone would at most just curse Xuantian as a bandit and add new hatred.

After all, in Wuzhou, and even in the entire martial arts world, the most anticipated event is the battle between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Langya Pavilion.

As time went by, more and more people from the martial arts world arrived at Langya Pavilion and moved in.

Among them, some came from far away.

Some of them are young disciples from top forces in the martial arts world.

It is even heard that young masters on the list of the best are moving into Langya Pavilion one after another.

According to the maids living nearby, Lin Mubai, the top of the list, Thousand Shadow Sword, has arrived.

In the discussion of these people, Lin Mubai was outstanding, heroic, and his eyes were deep as if they contained thousands of stars...

Among the top ten on the list, Thousand Shadow Sword Lin Mubai and Exiled Sword Immortal Su Muzhe are the most handsome, like gods.

Some people also said that Shen Zhiyuan, the "Sword-hiding Scholar" of Shujian Hall, had returned and was ready to fight against the masters of Xiangguo Mansion.

Someone from Dongshan Sword Pavilion...

As more and more people from the martial arts world moved in, the entire Langya Pavilion became more and more lively.

Of course, the side room where Chen Tang and the other three were staying was still relatively deserted.

This gave Chen Tang some opportunities.

Cheng Lie stayed here at first.

Later, since there was too much work at the front and Chen Tang and the other three were very well behaved, he ran over to help.

The servants and maids living nearby were also very busy.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Tang walked around Langya Pavilion to see if he could see Zhiwei.

During the period, I arrived at the gate of some courtyards, but was stopped before I could go in.

Chen Tang did not argue, but just smiled and said that he had taken the wrong path, and then changed direction.

Langya Pavilion is so huge that small bridges, flowing water, rockery, lakes, and green bamboo can be seen everywhere. The layout of the many courtyards and rooms is also generally similar, like a huge maze.

Fortunately, there is Ali. She remembers every road she has walked clearly.

For a few days, Chen Tang wandered around and didn't even see Zhiwei's shadow.

Searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue felt a little restrained at first, but later they found it boring to stay in the side room, so they followed Chen Tang and A Li to wander around Langya Pavilion.

At noon that day, Chen Tang accidentally passed by a courtyard and took a look inside.

There seemed to be no one guarding the area.
