Chapter 27: Tempering the Sword Body

  "Golden body!" Zhao Xue stared at the corpse, unable to help but exclaim in a low voice.

  Guo Fei followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at a few strands of golden thread on the skull.

  "What is this?" Guo Fei asked in surprise.

  "It was just a strong man with a five-line gold attribute, his body had already been transformed into a golden body, and the golden yuan energy had condensed in his bones, making his skeleton extremely solid. I didn't expect him to die here." Zhao Xue stared at the skeleton, her eyes calm as she spoke.

  Guo Fei stared into her eyes, and then looked at Zhao Ba's gaze that couldn't help but stare at the skeleton's eyes, suddenly enlightened. This skeleton is absolutely not an ordinary product. Absolutely unlike what Zhao Xue said lightly.

  "No matter how precious it is, at this time, whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide. I'll take possession of it first!" Guo Fei thought to himself and reached out to grab the skeleton.

  Guo Fei grasped the skeleton and suddenly realized that this was a good material for refining equipment. Guo Fei had been refining iron for half a year, and had come into contact with various metals such as bronze, iron, refined iron, and mysterious iron. The moment he grasped the skeleton, he discovered that its hardness surpassed that of iron, especially the golden threads hidden in the texture of the bones, which gave off a rich metallic aura, making it an excellent material for refining equipment.

  "Miss County, you've taken all the good stuff like the Qian Kun ring. Leave this skeleton for a poor guy like me!"

  "What are you doing? This is a senior fellow, we should show respect for him, don't desecrate his remains!" Zhao Xue waved her hand and said with a tense expression.

  "County Master, this sword of mine is only a rough cast and hasn't been refined yet. I think these bones are suitable for refining equipment. I plan to refine them and use them to forge my Xuan Iron Sword. You won't object, will you?" Guo Fei's expression turned cold at the last two words, changing from his previous playful demeanor.

  "You know this is a refining material!" This time, Zhao Xue was shocked, although she didn't say it, but such an expression had already appeared on her face.

  "County Master, don't forget, I'm a blacksmith. With one grasp in my hand, I can tell if it's material for refining equipment." Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "There's no ironing equipment here, no stove, you can't take it out, can you?" Zhao Xue said softly.

  "There is, this is a blacksmith shop. And it's still smelting iron with the fire from the earth." Guo Fei smiled at the two of them.

  Watching Guo Fei change his face as quickly as a magic trick, Zhao Xue fell silent for a moment before saying: "If not, I'll find you better materials after we leave. Give me this corpse and I'll give you another form of compensation."

  "Don't bother the young lady anymore, I'll just make do with this corpse!" Guo Fei heard her words and determined that it was good material, so he didn't waste any more time and started working on it.

  Zhao Xueyan didn't know the value of Jin Shen's corpse, although she was tempted, but also didn't want to offend Guo Fei and make their relationship awkward. She felt more and more that Guo Fei was a mysterious person, if he could work for her, it wouldn't be bad to have him as a helper. At least better than Zhao Ba.

  "But can I control this person?" Zhao Xue watched as Guo Fei transported the bones, his busy figure, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

  When Guo Fei came in, he found that outside the stone house, there was a shed with an iron furnace. Next to the furnace was a black bucket tied with a black rope. The materials of the two were unknown, but it was clear that they were used to fetch magma flames from the fire lake below. Because inside, there were ashes left after the magma had been extinguished.

  Moreover, the house was filled with all sorts of ironworking materials. Guo Fei took a rough glance and discovered several thin strips of fine steel, as well as a few unknown materials that were clearly not ordinary goods. Although they were only about the thickness of a thumb, they could be put to good use. These materials were absolutely better than the fine steel from the military camp's ironworking shop.

  Just as Guo Fei had guessed, he came to the outside shed and pulled open the dusty cover. The iron tools were all there. Two black hammers, one large and one small, made of unknown materials, with a glossy black finish and exceptionally sturdy. Holding them in his hand, the larger one weighed over 100 catties, while the smaller one weighed around 60-70 catties, feeling very comfortable to hold.

  A stove, one meter five high, one meter eight long and one meter two wide, with a lid on top that was tightly sealed. Guo Fei lifted the lid, and a wave of heat rushed out to meet him.

  Inside was actually still fiery red magma, and it was unknown how many years had passed without being extinguished. This greatly shocked Guo Fei.

  Under the lid, on one side of this stove, there is a black cast iron trivet connected to the stove. Next to the stove, there is also a small crucible that can be placed on top of the stove for melting metal.

  "Perfect!" Guo Fei took one look and fell in love with this set of ironware, deciding that when he left, he would definitely move it to the military symbol space.

  Especially the bucket tied with a black rope, which was salvaged from more than 200 meters deep magma and did not burn out, and the rope was also intact, I don't know what kind of material it was made of.

  He dumped all the unextinguished ash from the furnace and scooped up a bucket of molten lava from the fire lake, pouring it into the furnace. The temperature outside the furnace was normal, but inside it reached several thousand degrees, making Guo Fei admire its insulation performance.

  The corpse was disassembled and placed in a crucible, which was then set on top of the furnace. The magma was used to smelt it, and as time slowly passed, after one hour, the entire skeleton had been refined into a fist-sized lump of golden **.

  Then the Xuan Tie sword was placed in the molten lava to roast until it was fiery red all over, then taken out and placed in a golden liquid. The golden liquid was quickly absorbed into the body of the sword.

  Guo Fei continued to forge the Xuan Tie sword. For two whole days, the Xuan Tie sword reduced its thickness from five millimeters to three millimeters, and thoroughly allowed all the golden liquid to penetrate into the sword body, fusing together through forging and tempering.

  Then, Guo Fei entered the stone room again, took out the two thumb-sized fire-red iron stones he had chosen, and refined them into a solution, which he added to the sword body. What made Guo Fei astonished was that these two iron stones actually took three days to slowly melt into **. I really don't know what kind of thing it is.

  After letting the Xuan Tie sword absorb, Guo Fei refined it for another two days until the entire body of the sword was smooth and even, without any flaws. However, at this time, the thickness of the sword had become 2 cm, and its length had slightly increased.

  Guo Fei was unfamiliar with the iron-forging techniques of his past life, and he also didn't understand the composition of metals. The metals in this world seemed to be different from those in his past life, giving off a somewhat mysterious aura. At this moment, the black sword body gradually transformed into a dark golden color, its entire surface smooth as a mirror with a faint glow flowing through it, looking stern and sharp.

  Guo Fei held the sword in his hand, and suddenly felt a sense of spiritual connection. The hot flow of the sword's shadow poured into the sword body through his palm, without any obstruction. Moreover, the hot flow of the sword's shadow seemed to be stored in the sword body, Guo Fei's heart moved, and he injected all the hot flow of the sword's shadow into the sword body.

  "It seems it's not saturated yet!" Guo Fei put down his sword, took a deep breath to recover the internal heat flow of the sword shadow, and then infused it again, repeating this process three times before finally satiating the sword body. At this moment, the sword body seemed as if it was about to "come alive" with an urge to fly out of his hand.

  I was busy with something yesterday and didn't get back until after midnight. I got up at 4am this morning to write a chapter, which is now updated. Next, I still have to go to work! Two chapters every day, no breaks. The early bird gets the worm, hehe, shouldn't you give me a reward? Please recommend, collect and click!
