Chapter 51: Forging the Blue Star Sword and the Master's Scepter Material Information
When Lu Ming appeared in front of Li the Blacksmith's shop, before he could knock on the door, the door was immediately opened from the inside and Li the Blacksmith hurried out.
"It tastes like braised iron lion head!"
Since the moment Blacksmith Li appeared, he has fixed his eyes on the food box in Lu Ming's hand, without moving his eyes away for even a second.
He said a little excitedly: "Quick, give me the braised iron lion head."
Lu Ming handed him the lunch box as he was told.
After getting the food box, Blacksmith Li rushed into the shop like a whirlwind.
Lu Ming was not annoyed and followed him in.
When I saw Blacksmith Li again, he had already started attacking the braised iron lion head.
He ate and smacked his lips: "Delicious, really delicious!"
Lu Ming didn't say anything either, just waited by the side.
Blacksmith Li didn't speak for a long time after he finished eating. He was still savoring the taste of the braised iron lion head.
After a long while, he looked at Lu Ming and asked, "What kind of weapon are you going to make?"
"I want to make a sword."
Upon hearing this, Blacksmith Li pointed to the wall not far away.
"There are some there, take your pick."
Lu Ming looked at the wall. There were more than a dozen swords hanging on it. Lu Ming took a quick look and found that none of them was what he wanted.
The long swords of the Destiny Continent are somewhat similar to the ancient Western armor-piercing swords of the Blue Star. The sword body is hard, triangular or rectangular, and has no blade.
It is designed mainly for piercing, because in the Continent of Destiny, people not only have to face enemies, but also more monsters.
Most monsters have very strong defenses, which requires strong penetrating power to cause damage.
Under this demand, armor-piercing sword came into being.
Although this long sword is quite powerful, it is not what Lu Ming needs.
He looked at Blacksmith Li and said, "Mr. Li, none of these meet my requirements."
"So what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming took out an iron chisel and started carving on the ground.
At first, blacksmith Li didn't take it seriously, but when Lu Ming was about to finish drawing the pattern, a strange light appeared on his face and he began to look at it carefully.
After Lu Ming finished drawing the pattern, blacksmith Li kept smacking his lips.
"Did you design this yourself?"
"Yes!"
"I have never seen this style of sword before, but from a design perspective, it has both the penetrating effect of an armor-piercing sword and the cutting ability of a long knife."
"The most important thing is that the blade is extremely ingeniously designed."
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
The pattern in front of Blacksmith Li is actually an ancient Han sword from Blue Star China, an eight-sided Han sword.
This is a long sword that appeared in the Han Dynasty. The most common one is the four-sided Han sword, which is generally a standard weapon of the army. However, Lu Ming's eight-sided Han sword is a long sword for aristocrats with status and position.
This Han sword is sharp, tough, and exquisitely designed. It is the culmination of sword-making technology. It is normal for blacksmith Li to have such a reaction.
"Mr. Li? Do you think this can be made?"
Blacksmith Li held up a finger and said, "Give me a day."
Lu Ming's face lit up: "Thank you for your hard work."
Blacksmith Li was obviously a man of action. He picked out a few pieces of high-quality iron and walked into the forge to start making weapons for Lu Ming.
Lu Ming had no interest in forging, nor did he want to waste time, so he sat cross-legged in the yard to practice.
Lu Ming did not meditate on his life force, but instead practiced the Heavenly Official Seal. He had a hunch that the Heavenly Official Seal would see a breakthrough in the next few days.
Once the Heavenly Official Seal breaks through to the fifth level, he will be able to increase his vitality again, thereby improving his combat endurance once again.
The sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye it was evening of the next day.
At this moment in the forging room, as the red sword body was immersed in the quenching liquid, the forging of Lu Ming's long sword was completed.
"Your weapon has been forged. Try it."
Blacksmith Li threw the sword in his hand to Lu Ming, and the sharp sword drew a cold light in the air.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up slightly, he reached out to take the sword and examined it carefully.
The entire sword body is glowing with a faint blue light. It is 1.3 meters long and has a sharp blade. Under the moonlight, there is a faint cold light shining through it. You can tell at a glance that this is a precious sword.
“I just don’t know if it will be easy or not!”
Lu Ming held the sword in his hand and immediately performed Tai Chi sword techniques.
Tai Chi sword emphasizes that the sword is one's own body, and one controls the sword with one's body. The sword should be drawn lightly and softly, continuously, emphasizing intention rather than strength, combining hardness and softness, being active without being frivolous, and being substantial without being dull.
When the exquisite Tai Chi sword moves were performed, the entire courtyard was covered with sword light.
Sometimes it is as gentle as flowing water, sometimes it is as violent as a storm, and it is unpredictable.
Perhaps it was because of the long sword, but when the sword technique was performed, blue stars appeared in the sky, which was very beautiful.
Blacksmith Li looked at the blue starlight without any sign of appreciating the beauty. Instead, his face looked solemn.
As a blacksmith, he has a good eye and he himself has considerable abilities.
He was very clear that Lu Ming's swordsmanship was quite advanced, and he had never seen such exquisite swordsmanship in his previous experience.
The seemingly gorgeous blue starlight in the courtyard actually contains endless murderous intent, and if you are not careful, you may be injured by Lu Ming's sword moves.
"What an exquisite sword technique!"
When Lu Ming finished performing a set of Tai Chi sword, the blue starlight in the sky disappeared.
He had a smile on his face and was obviously very satisfied with the sword.
"Mr. Li, thank you!"
Blacksmith Li looked at the sword in Lu Ming's hand and said, "If you are satisfied, give it a name."
"When I drew my sword just now, a sky full of blue starlight appeared. Let's call it Blue Star."
There is another meaning behind the name Lu Mingqi, which is to commemorate the Blue Star in the previous life!
Blacksmith Li stroked his beard and said, "Blue Star? That's quite appropriate. Not bad!"
"I'll scabbard this Blue Star later!"
When Blacksmith Li was making a scabbard for Lan Xing, Lu Ming asked a question he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Mr. Li, can you tell me how to obtain the materials for the Scepter of the Fortune Teller?"
Blacksmith Li kept moving his hands: "Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
"Take the yellow-level scepter material as an example. The materials needed are mithril, dragon wood, and a level 50 monster corpse."
"Among these, the bones of monster corpses can be obtained by hunting monsters yourself, or by purchasing them directly. It is the easiest material to obtain!"
"The second is Mithril. There are four sources of Mithril. The first is auctions, the second is the Colosseum, the third is mercenary missions, and the last is to go to the Mithril Ruins to dig."
"The last kind of dragon wood can only be obtained in the Colosseum and auction."
As Lu Ming listened to Blacksmith Li's explanation, he noticed that he mentioned the word Colosseum many times.
"Mr. Li, what is this Colosseum?"
When he heard Lu Ming asking about the Colosseum, Blacksmith Li stopped what he was doing.
"The Colosseum is one of the four major forces in the entire Destiny Continent, possessing great power and terrifying influence!"
“The Colosseum is actually the Arena!”
"It has two modes. One is the challenge for fortune tellers, which is divided into ordinary challenges and life-and-death challenges. The other is the hunt, which is a battle between fortune tellers and monsters."
"Participating in the Colosseum competition can earn you a huge amount of money and materials for making fortune-tellers' scepters. Therefore, the Colosseum is extremely attractive to fortune-tellers. Countless fortune-tellers participate in the Colosseum battles every day."
"So that's it."
After listening to the explanation of Li the Blacksmith, Lu Ming also understood what the Colosseum was like and became interested in it.
"Mr. Li, where is the Colosseum?"
