Chapter 21 - Five Gems, try it!

Not long after, Tang Huan found five low grade gems from the old blacksmith's room.

Amongst them were Ink Spirit Stone that were as black as ink, Fire Cloud Stone that were as red as fire, Golden Red Stone that were as colorful as a rainbow, Shadow Moon Stone that looked like crescent moons, and Thunder Light Stone that were brimming with purple intent and looked like lightning.

Each rock contained a different amount of power. After fusing them with a weapon, the effects would also be different.

Tang Huan thought about it for a moment and decided to choose the Fire Cloud Stone.

When Fire Cloud Stone and weapons fuse, the weapon will release a scorching heat.

If it was activated with the Genuine Qi that contained the Power of True Fire, the temperature of the weapon would greatly increase. Unfortunately, other than the "Nine Moves of Wandering Dragon", Tang Huan did not have any other battle skill that could match this type of weapon.

Amongst the five low-ranked gems, the most effective one was the Thunder Light Stone, followed by the Golden Red Stone, and then the Shadow Moon Stone. The Fire Cloud Stone could only be ranked fourth, only slightly stronger than the Ink Spirit Stone.

But even so, the Fire Cloud Stone was currently Tang Huan's most suitable choice.

To fuse with a Fire Cloud Stone's weapon, the True Fire could still increase its effectiveness, but to fuse with weapons from other gems, one had to learn a corresponding battle skill. Otherwise, a low level weapon would at most be stronger in terms of material, and would not be able to display much more power than an ordinary weapon.

For a good weapon, one must have a matching battle skill in order to display its greatest power.

While thinking, Tang Huan had already brought the gem to the shop in front.

Since the "Nine Moves of Wandering Dragon" was a sword technique, he naturally had to forge a sword in order to succeed. Before using the Fire Cloud Stone s, Tang Huan decided to use a gem to practice.

To fuse the True Fire, one had to rely on their tough willpower and the endurance of their body. If they failed, at least the Spiritual Meridian would be damaged, and at most, their soul would be destroyed.

Forging a graded weapon also had a chance of failure. Furthermore, the chances of failure were not small.

The higher the grade of the weapon, the more precious the material used. If the weapon failed, the losses would be even more severe.

If you added them up, the materials needed to forge a weapon would be hundreds of millions of gold coins. If you failed, you would probably forge a low-grade weapon that was only worth a few hundred gold coins.

If an ordinary weapon was not forged well and it could be reforged again, if the grade of the weapon failed, then it would truly fail.

According to what was said in his previous life, during the process of fusing with a gem, the molecular structure of the weapon had already undergone a miraculous change. If he were to forge it again, it would be no different from scrap metal.

Tang Huan had a deep understanding of this point.

When he was at the "Divine Weapon Pavilion" realm, he used the True Fire to burn the sword billets to a certain extent. Then, he discovered that countless tiny holes had appeared on the sword billets, just like the pores on a human body.

If the fire was too strong, the material of the weapon would be damaged.

When those holes were expanded to their limits, he had to daub the gemstone sap onto them at lightning speed, allowing the sap to seep into those holes. Just penetrating them was not enough, they still had to be completely fused with the material of the weapon. This process required a tacit understanding between the Genuine Qi and the True Fire.

That day during the second round of the examination, Tang Huan performed very well.

However, if he allowed Tang Huan to repeat himself, he wasn't confident that he would be able to do it to such a degree.

The key to forging a high grade weapon was to forge the equipment base to the point where it did not contain any impurities. The second was to refine the gem to its home and the third was to take advantage of the time the gem was smeared on the equipment base.

Fourth, during the process of fusing the equipment base and the gemstone sap, there was a need for the Genuine Qi and the True Fire to have a tacit understanding.

Different weapons, different gems, their methods of coordination were all different too. Even if it was a similar type of weapon that could fuse together with similar gems, no one would be able to teach it to him. It all depended on Weapon Refiner's experience and comprehension ability.

Finally, the quenching liquid should be suitable, and the quenching time should be seized.

As long as he failed in one of these areas, the quality of the weapon would be reduced, and even the forging of the weapon would fail.

Moreover, this was only the simplest method of forging.

It was said that some of the more powerful Weapon Refiner s did not use the gemstone juice on the weapon, but rather left grooves on it, refining it before reforming it and inserting it onto the equipment base. It was said that this kind of weapon could constantly improve its quality.

Tang Huan had only heard the old blacksmith mention this method before, he had never seen this kind of weapon before.

"Let's try forging a long rod with the Ink Spirit Stone first."

Tang Huan quickly calculated in his heart. Some gems were suitable for all types of weapons, but some gems were suitable for forging spears. Some gems were suitable for forging swords.

Since he had made his decision, Tang Huan started to take action immediately.

Inside the blacksmith shop, clanging sounds quickly came out. The equipment base s that the young man previously made were good at forging ordinary weapons, but they were still lacking when it came to low grade weapons. Tang Huan had to forge them again, and when he worked with the Power of True Fire, he had to completely remove the impurities in the billet.

"Bam!"

Noon, the blacksmith shop that was quiet for a while suddenly let out a loud noise.

Tang Huan's face was pitch black, while the pitch black rod in front of him was emitting black smoke nonstop. The pole's body was covered with countless cracks, densely packed like a spider web.

"I failed."

After a long while, Tang Huan dispiritedly picked up the long rod. With just a light shake, the rod that was filled with cracks turned into countless pieces of varying sizes, falling onto the ground.

He had originally thought that the value of "Ink Spirit Stone" was the lowest, and even if he failed, his loss wouldn't be too great.

But he did not expect that in the end, he would actually fail, and the reason for the failure was rather laughable. It was that he had smeared the Ink Spirit Stone's juice on it for too long. Before he could finish applying the medicine, the dense and minute holes on the rod had been burnt to the limit by the True Fire.

It was only until he failed that Tang Huan finally realized that he was forging a rod, not a sword.

The length of the staff was several times that of the sword, and the time it took to apply the gemstone juice was also much longer. Naturally, the time it took to apply it was different from when it was used to forge the sword.

"Fifty gold coins gone!"

muttered bitterly. His losses were not big, but compared to that, even the cheapest 'Ink Spirit Stone' would require 50 gold coins to buy it.

"Damn it, let's do it again. This time, we'll use 'Shadow Moon Stone' to forge the sword!"

"…"
