Chapter 300 No Emotion, All Skills
Chapter 300 No Emotion, All Skills
Although artifact refining is not Jin Ling'er's main focus, it is one of her hobbies. Being so disregarded by Zhang Chi, how could she not be angry!
Especially since Zhang Chi had praised her before, she thought he was someone who could appreciate her work. But then he turned around and thought her things were not good enough.
Who could tolerate this?
But if she were to rush over now, it would expose the fact that she had eavesdropped and spied on them. She usually pretended to be deaf, but she had resorted to using secret techniques just to peep. If this got out, people would laugh at her.
Jin Ling'er suppressed her anger and took in the Divine Ability.
But she firmly remembered this incident in her heart.
She made up her mind. Tomorrow, when they arrived at White Tiger Temple, she would definitely take Zhang Chi to the forge. She wanted to see what skills Zhang Chi had and dared to say that the things she forged were not good.
With anger in her heart, Jin Ling'er fell into a deep sleep, unaware that a female demon was coveting her body.
If it weren't for the guardian lurking in the dark, Gu Youyou would have taken action tonight.
The night was peaceful, and the next day dawned. The immortal boat continued on its journey, with the flag of the Saintess fluttering at the bow. They arrived at White Tiger Temple smoothly.
Led by Jin Ling'er, the members of the exchange group first met with the master of White Tiger Temple.
The position of the master of White Tiger Temple was not as high as Jin Ling'er's. With Jin Ling'er leading the way, they naturally treated them with courtesy. Jin Ling'er had allocated a large area of land in Jinling City for them, enough for their cultivation and living.
Jin Ling'er thought it was not enough and even allocated the artifact refining workshop outside Jinling City, along with nearby accommodations, to them.
The master of White Tiger Temple had no choice but to agree. Even if it was an artifact refining workshop, let alone if Jin Ling'er wanted to allocate a Weapon Refining Pavilion, the ancestors would not have any objections.
A mere workshop was nothing. There was nothing particularly valuable inside, just a geothermal spring used for forging.
The people didn't know Jin Ling'er's intentions and thought that Jin Ling'er had considered their need for forging Law Treasures.
Long Yan also held Jin Ling'er's hand and said, "Sister Ling'er, there's no need for this workshop. It's too much trouble for you."
It was already good enough for them to have a place to stay, it would be inappropriate to take someone else's workshop.
Jin Ling'er, who was rich and powerful, didn't care and said, "It's fine. There are plenty of geothermal springs in the Golden Cauldron Mountain. We won't miss this one."
This statement left the group from the Dragon River Alliance speechless.
Compared to other places, the Coiling Dragon River Basin was relatively poor, with its main resources being fierce beasts and Spirit Beasts in the water.
These beasts were valuable, whether they were killed and dissected for materials or raised properly.
So the previous generation cut down trees, and the later generation suffered.
The previous generation hunted and killed fierce beasts and Spirit Beasts and sold them, even causing the prices of both to drop.
But fierce beasts and Spirit Beasts were not easy to grow. Thousands of years later, in the current Coiling Dragon River Basin, fierce beasts and Spirit Beasts had become scarce resources.
On the other hand, the Golden Cauldron Mountain Range was known for its various metal minerals and abundant geothermal springs.
In the Golden Cauldron Mountain Range, cultivators relied on these resources to develop artifact refining and became the largest supplier of Law Weapons and Law Treasures in the Western State.
This was the importance of sustainable development.
Jin Ling'er led everyone to settle near the workshop and casually said, "Since Yan'er rarely comes here, let me demonstrate the use of the geothermal spring for you, and if anyone else is interested, you can come and take a look."
Zhang Chi quickly understood that she wanted to prove her artifact refining skills.
She was so impatient, indeed a hot-tempered person.
With Jin Ling'er's words, of course, the others couldn't help but go and watch. Except for Miao Yin, who didn't give face and said she wanted to cultivate, everyone else, including Zhang Chi, went.
The geothermal spring looked like a spring, but instead of water, it spewed out surging flames.
The master built a boiler next to this place and set up a workshop.
Jin Ling'er is very confident in her artifact refining skills.
She has an innate sensitivity to the properties of metals, able to clearly sense their power and nature, as well as their changes.
Under the gaze of everyone, she took out a large hammer taller than herself, casually threw a few pieces of ore, and after heating them to the appropriate temperature, she manipulated the materials to fly onto the forge. With a few strikes, she removed all impurities.
There is a special beauty in the way the loli wields the large hammer.
There are four steps in forging: refining the materials, fusing the materials, casting the finished product, and engraving runes.
Only the fourth step, engraving runes, is the most crucial.
Every movement of Jin Ling'er is smooth and without any excess, filled with artistic sensibility.
She quickly refined several types of materials and swiftly melted them together for forging.
Under her large hammer, a sword embryo gradually took shape.
While pounding, Jin Ling'er also drew runes and threw in some auxiliary materials.
This kind of operation is already quite impressive. She can achieve this level of multitasking, which truly amazed the audience.
In the end, the sword took shape, and the runes were also completed. Jin Ling'er then threw the sword into the icy spring water for tempering. When she took it out of the water tank, the sword already emitted a chilling light.
The aura of a High Grade Law Weapon spread out, causing everyone to gasp in astonishment.
For ordinary people to refine a Law Weapon, it would take at least three to five days, and normally it would be seven to forty-nine days. The time consumed varies depending on the grade.
However, Jin Ling'er forged a High Grade Law Weapon in just one afternoon, right before their eyes.
Such skill can be called peerless.
The spectators present were greatly shocked, and Jin Ling'er felt relieved when she saw their reactions.
In terms of forging skills, she has reached the pinnacle that can be achieved in this realm.
With her control over metals, artifact refining is simply not challenging for her.
She only casually learned some methods of engraving runes, and that is already the limit of this realm.
This is what it means to be a genius.
Jin Ling'er looked at Zhang Chi with a somewhat provocative gaze and casually said, "Since you can comprehend Sword Intent at such a young age, I assume you understand swords. Why not come and appreciate it?"
Without waiting for Zhang Chi's consent, she threw the just-forged sword to him. Zhang Chi caught it and admired it for a moment before calmly saying, "Impeccable skill."
Although his words praised her, there was a hint of regret in Zhang Chi's eyes.
Jin Ling'er couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
If he didn't speak clearly about what he overheard last night, he should be able to distinguish it clearly today, right?
"You clearly have something left unsaid. Why not be frank and tell me? I don't mind criticism from others."
Jin Ling'er put on a magnanimous appearance, and Zhang Chi acted as if he was serious, saying, "Since Saintess asked me to speak, then I'll dare to offer some comments.
Saintess's technique is impeccable, but she doesn't pour any emotions into her forging. It's just a show of skill."
Jin Ling'er: "..."
You dare to say that!
Jin Ling'er sneered inwardly, but she didn't get angry on the spot. After all, it was the second time she heard this, so she had developed some tolerance.
"In that case, it seems you also understand artifact refining. Why not let me witness what forging with emotions looks like?" (End of this chapter)
