Chapter 24: Violet teorite Flexible Sword
Translator: / KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Lucas
The next day, Duan Ling Tian once again arrived at the Grand Elder’s residence.
“Kid, what are you here for this ti? You better not tell
you spent the thirty thousand silver I gave you yesterday.”
Li Huo’s face had an expression of vigilance the mont he saw him.
“Grand Elder, I’m not here to ask you for money... I actually want you to slt this blade for
with your Pill Fire.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled embarrassedly.
Then he withdrew the violet short sword from its sheathe.
“This is a sword made from Violet Ore, right? Kid, if I use my Pill Fire to slt Violet Ore, it would lt and be vaporized as it’s only a type of common tal.”
Li Huo frowned.
“Grand Elder, are you really that confident? How about we make a bet?”
Duan Ling Tian smiled as he said this.
Li Huo gave Duan Ling Tian a disdainful glance. He knew that this kid wouldn’t do sothing for naught, so he wouldn’t be fooled by Duan Ling Tian.
But it did, however, rouse his interest towards the sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hands.
Could it be that he misjudged it?
Li Huo quickly took the violet short sword in his hands.
His Origin Energy condensed into a milky white Pill Fire, covering the short sword...
After half an hour.
It could clearly be seen that.
More than half of the tal on the short sword had been vaporized, but the violet tal that remained instead changed into liquid form.
No matter how hard Li Huo tried, it was virtually impossible to vaporize it with his Pill Fire.
At this mont, Li Huo’s face was drenched in sweat.
He waved his hand to put out his Pill Fire.
“Kid, is this a weapon crafting material?”
After all, Pill Fire was strong enough to be capable of vaporizing Fine Steel...
Thus, only a weapon crafting material would be able to withstand his Pill Fire and not be vaporized!
“Yes.”
Duan Ling Tian lightly nodded.
“Can you tell
what material this is?”
Li Huo took in a deep breath as he asked this.
“Violet teorite.”
Duan Ling Tian did not conceal the truth.
“What?!”
Li Huo was shocked.
Although he was only a grade nine Alchemist, he had heard of the material called Violet teorite, which was treasured by weapons craftsn.
“Kid, where did you get this sword?”
Li Huo asked before drawing in a deep breath.
“From the Li family weapon store... It cost
two hundred silver.”
Duan Ling Tian said with a painful expression.
Two hundred silver coins?
The corners of Li Huo’s mouth twitched.
Such a big piece of Violet teorite for only two hundred silver?
If he were to let those weapon craftsn know, they might even feel like committing suicide!
Of course, Li Huo was aware that no ordinary person was capable of identifying unrefined Violet teorite.
“So that ans that this sword was actually forged from Violet teoric Iron?”
Li Huo inquired.
“I didn’t expect Grand Elder to know of Violet teoric Iron.”
Duan Ling Tian was astonished.
“I saw it in so ancient books. Violet teorite is usually hidden inside Violet teoric Iron, so it’s extrely difficult to be identified... Kid, how did you identify it?”
Li Huo glanced deeply at the youth, as if trying to see through him.
Unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed.
Duan Ling Tian smiled mysteriously, but didn’t answer Li Huo.
“Grand Elder, I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave.”
Receiving the Violet teorite from Li Huo, Duan Ling Tian imdiately left.
“This kid seems completely different from before, as if he’s another person entirely. Hmm, it must be all thanks to his grade seven Alchemist teacher.”
Grand Elders murky eyes flashed with a bright light as he surmised this.
Duan Ling Tian returned from Grand Elder’s residence with the Violet teorite. He arrived at his ho without disturbing Ke Er, who was cultivating in her room. He instead went to see his mother to get her to accompany him outside of the Li family estate.
“Tian, you want to get a blacksmith to forge this tal into two swords?”
Looking at the violet-colored tal in Duan Ling Tian’s hands, Li Rou’s expression was filled with disbelief.
In her opinion, the volu of this tal was only enough to forge a dagger, and a small one at that.
“What, mom, you don’t believe ?”
Duan Ling Tian smiled.
Li Rou shook her head.
The pair of mother and son quickly arrived at the Li family’s blacksmith store.
“Ninth Elder.”
An attendant greeted them as soon as they entered, bowing to Li Rou.
“Where’s your manager?”
Li Rou nodded and subsequently asked.
“Haha! Such a rare sight... Ninth Elder, do you need anything from my smithy?”
A middle-aged man walked out from inside the weapon store.
The middle-aged man’s laughter had a grand sound to it. He walked swiftly to stand in front of Duan Ling Tian and his mother.
“This must be young master Ling Tian, right?”
The middle-aged man glanced at Duan Ling Tian as he smiled lightly.
“Tian, this is Manager Long of our Li family’s smithy. The Fine Steel Swords sold in the weapon store are all his works.”
Li Rou said to Duan Ling Tian.
“Manager Long!”
Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly towards the middle-aged man.
“Ninth Elder, you’re treating
like a stranger. If you hadn’t appealed to the Patriarch for
all those years ago, how could I possibly still remain in the Li family?”
The middle-aged man said. He couldn’t help himself from sighing as we took a trip down mory lane.
“Li Long, you don’t have to ntion what happened all those years ago. The reason I’m here today is because my son needs your help to forge two swords.”
Li Rou shook her head.
She look at Duan Ling Tian as she said this.
“Tian, Manager Li is the best blacksmith in the entire Li family. The Fine Steel Swords he forges are famous throughout Fresh Breeze Town, and the Fine Steel Swords forged by the other two families can’t even compare to his.
Hearing what his mother said, Duan Ling Tian lightly nodded.
“Young master Ling Tian, what sort of sword do you want to forge?”
Li Long asked respectfully.
“Manage Long, I want you to forge two flexible swords from this piece of tal I have here. Make them as thin as you possibly can.”
Duan Ling Tian revealed the fist-sized piece of Violet teorite in his hand.
“Flexible sword? Young master Ling Tian, to forge a flexible sword, the material must have high levels of malleability. Forgive , but I’m unable to recognize the tal you’re holding in your hand.”
Li Long’s eyes flashed as he said slowly this.
Li Rou’s willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows slightly twitched and an expression of shock erged on her beautiful face.
She knew extrely well of Li Long’s capabilities, but even he was incapable of identifying the material in her son’s hands...
Obviously, it was no common tal.
“Manager Long, you can go ahead and try forging it. Just make sure it cos out as thin as you can make it.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled.
He must be kidding, right? In the entire Cloud Continent, there were hardly any tals that could compete in malleability against Violet teorite.
The reason that Violet teorite was a weapon crafting material pursued by many weapons craftsn was because of its malleability.
“OK, I’ll give it a try.”
Li Long nodded as he received the Violet teorite.
Even he was interested in this piece of tal that he couldn’t recognize.
“Young master Ling Tian, follow
to my private forge.”
With Li Long in the lead, Duan Ling Tian followed him into an inner chamber inside the Li family’s smithy.
The forge was fully equipped.
On the weapons rack in the corner were many Fine Steel Swords that shone with a cold light.
Under Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, Li Long quickly took off his shirt, revealing his robust upper body.
He tossed the Violet teorite onto the hearth of the forge, allowing the flas to heat the tal.
Li Long bent down and started pulling on the bellows.
Causing the fire to burn to an extre temperature...
After an hour, the Violet teorite finally showed signs of lting.
Li Long heaved a sigh of relief.
But he was extrely shocked in his heart...
Even Fine Steel wouldn’t need more than half an hour to beco soft under this temperature.
As far as he was concerned, this piece of tal was truly bizarre.
Of course, it also brought him a new challenge, causing his mood to beco agitated.
After a mont, Li Long stood up.
Grasping his hamr, the muscles and veins in his arms bulged.
Clang!
His hamr descended, furiously hamring on the softened Violet teorite.
Instantly, the Violet teorite changed into a pile of ‘mud’.
“What good malleability!”
Li Long couldn’t stop himself from exclaiming after seeing this.
“Young master Ling Tian, forging two swords will not be a problem!”
Li Long looked towards the nearby youth as he lightly smiled.
“I’ll be troubling Manager Long.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Clang!
Clang!
......
The hamr in Li Huo’s hand descended ti after ti, quickly dividing the Violent teorite into two.
The shape of two swords slowly ford.
Duan Ling Tian, who was watching from the corner, had a gaze of admiration when he looked at Li Long.
When forging a weapon, no matter if was it pulling on the bellows to control the temperature or to temper the tal by hamring, Manager Long did it all by himself.
Based entirely on this fact, it would be easy to conclude that he was an expert in forging.
Maybe it was because of this that he was able to produce the best Fine Steel Swords in Fresh Breeze Town.
Two hours later, Li Long completed the final step in the forging process, and the two flexible swords finally took their final forms.
Through the flas, two swords could be seen. Their bodies were glittering and translucent, thin as a cicada’s wings.
Shiing~
Li Long lifted his hand and withdrew a Fine Steel Sword from the weapons rack.
He swung the flexible sword to et the Fine Steel Sword head on...
Ka!
The Fine Steel Sword split with a sound. It was like paper to the flexible blade.
“What a sword!”
Duan Ling Tian’s gaze shone.
The level of Li Long’s forging skill caused him to be lost in amazent.
Besides the lack of ability to amplify the power of attacks, the other characteristics of these two swords were comparable to that of sothing made by a grade nine Weapons Craftsn.
“Young master Ling Tian, thank you.”
Li Long respectfully bowed to Duan Ling Tian.
“Manager Li, why are you acting this way?”
Duan Ling Tian hurriedly bowed in response.
“I’m grateful that young master Ling Tian allowed
to forge such a rare tal. Until I have the chance to forge an even better material, these two swords will be my, Li Long’s, greatest masterpieces!”
Li Long said excitedly.
Every blacksmith hoped that the weapon forged by them would be the best weapon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
......
Duan Ling Tian swung the flexible sword made of Violet teorite like a gust of wind.
The weight of the flexible sword could be totally ignored, allowing him to execute Sword Drawing Arts with more ease.
A satisfied smile crept up on his face.
With this Violet teorite Flexible Sword, his strength would once again go up another level.
“Manager Long, do you have leather sword sheaths here? The type that can be used as a belt.”
Duan Ling Tian looked toward Li Long as he asked.
“Young master Ling Tian, if you need this type of sword sheathe, I will personally make a customized one for you.”
Li Long smiled.
His mood was elated after he successfully forged two swords that exceeded his past standards.
“Then I’ll be troubling Manager Long again.”
Duan Ling Tian hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
