Chapter 11 In the
courtyard of , Wei Yi was carefully polishing the sword body with stones.
After some polishing, he put down the stone in his hand, picked up the sword, and looked at it with satisfaction.
The entire sword body is as smooth as a mirror, which can illuminate people. With a slight movement, a cold light suddenly appears, and it is powerful and powerful.
Just from the appearance alone, it already gives people an indestructible edge and sharpness.
Tap it gently with your fingertips, and a clear and crisp moaning sound will be heard immediately, which is very pleasant to hear.
Wei Yi pulled off a section of hair and placed it on the sword blade. With a gentle blow, the hair was cut by the sword blade.
It's really blowing and breaking hair, it's extremely sharp.
Then, he took the wooden stake that he had cut off with his sword, fixed it again, cut it with his sword, and the wooden stake broke with a sound.
Although last time the wooden stake was easily cut off with one sword.
But only Wei Yi knew best that the feel of cutting the stakes this time was completely different from before.
It seemed like I could still feel the resistance and hardness of the wood before.
But now, when this sword strikes, it's like cutting on tofu, and it doesn't even feel like a head-on confrontation.
Seeing Wei Yi testing the new sword, Shitou, who was sharpening the kitchen knife at the side, also ran over.
He was also involved in the forging process of this sword.
It is obvious that many of the methods used by Wei Yi this time are different from before.
Therefore, Shitou was full of expectations for Wei Yi's newly forged sword.
Feeling the sharpness of this sword, Wei Yi's inner expectation increased a lot.
He took out the special metal rod, also known as the sword inspection rod, from his second uncle's tool box.
This sword-testing stick is about two fingers thick, like iron and stone, and is extremely hard in texture.
When an ordinary sword is struck on it, there is only the sound of gold and iron clashing, but it is difficult to leave any scars on it.
If you use too much force, the sword may even break.
This sword inspection stick was used by Wei Tieshan to test the ultimate performance of the sword he made.
Now the deepest sword mark on it is less than one centimeter.
It should be a remnant of the sharpest sword he had ever made.
"According to what my second uncle said, if you can cut a half-inch deep gap in this metal rod, it will almost reach the quality of a sword." "I wonder if
my sword can achieve that?"
Wei Yi thought in his mind. Look forward to.
On the side, Shitou also blinked his dark eyes and looked at Wei Yi curiously.
He also knew something about this metal rod.
I have even seen Wei Tieshan test the ultimate performance of the sword with this metal rod.
So I am also very curious about how deep the gap can be left in the metal rod with the sword Wei Yi forged this time.
Wei Yi looked serious and fixed the metal rod on a wooden pier.
Then he held the sword with both hands and raised it high.
Brush -
cut down with one sword.
Clang -
Along with the sound of the sword, Wei Yi felt the sword suddenly shake, and saw sparks flashing before his eyes.
At the same time, the metal rod suddenly broke off and split into two.
Divided into two parts, there is also the wooden pier under the metal rod.
Seeing this scene, Stone on the side suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth.
He looked at the sword in Wei Yi's hand in disbelief.
Although he guessed that Wei Yi's sword might be sharper than the one he made last time.
But he never expected that he could cut off the extremely hard metal rod with one sword.
Wei Yi also looked at the broken metal rods and wooden piers in surprise, and he was also filled with surprise.
The results before him also far exceeded his own expectations.
Wei Yi immediately bent down and picked up the broken metal rod. The cut was also flat and smooth.
On the other hand, the sword blade in his hand was still intact.
"It's done, I really succeeded!" Wei Yi's heart was beating hard, and he was very excited inside.
He knew very well that he could easily cut off the metal rod.
The sword I made myself has definitely reached the quality of a jeweled sword.
In other words, as long as he passes the assessment of the Sword Making Department, he can become a true ninth-grade sword making master. This day arrived much sooner than he expected.
"I didn't expect that when Gan reached the second level, he would be able to reach the level of a ninth-grade swordsmith!" Wei Yi was pleasantly surprised.
But then I thought about it, this system can turn ordinary skills into supernatural powers.
Now he is just a ninth-level swordsmith, and later there will be seventh-level, fifth-level...
In the future, there may be even more powerful skills above first-level.
It is not impossible to forge magic weapons.
Although it is only a small achievement now.
But for Wei Yi, it is still worth being happy.
"Brother, you, you actually cut off that metal rod!" Shitou was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
Wei Yi smiled, walked over immediately, and touched Shitou's head.
His fluffy hair was immediately twisted into a chicken coop.
"How about it, your eldest brother, I am awesome!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"Yeah, that's awesome!" Shitou nodded heavily, looking at Wei Yi with eyes full of admiration.
After a long time, Wei Yi cleaned and tidied up his appearance and prepared to go to the Sword Making Department to sign up for the assessment.
But just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard, he saw his aunt coming back.
"Aunt, you're back. How is your second uncle?" Wei Yi asked quickly.
"Your second uncle is very good, and he is very happy to know that you have inherited his mantle!" Wei Xue said with a forced smile.
Wei Yi knew the pain in his aunt's heart, and his second uncle must not have had a good life in that cell.
"By the way, Yi'er, do you want to go out?" Wei Xue changed the subject.
"Oh, yes, I'm going to sign up for the Sword Making Department and take the assessment." Wei Yi said truthfully.
"Ah?" Wei Xue was stunned for a moment.
"Master Wife, brother, the sword he just made cut off the metal rod!" Shitou also ran over and said excitedly.
Wei Xue didn't know what Shitou meant.
But I roughly guessed that Wei Yi should have made a very powerful sword.
"Auntie, I should have reached the level of a ninth-grade swordsmith!" Wei Yi said with confidence.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Wei Xue's eyes widened slightly, and her eyes became a little brighter.
"Really, really?" Wei Xue couldn't believe it.
Becoming a ninth-grade swordsmith was Wei Tieshan's lifelong wish.
He has worked hard for this goal for many years, but still has not been able to achieve it.
"It should be close to ten!" Wei Yi said without humility.
He also hoped that this good news would make his aunt feel better.
"Okay, okay, Yi'er, you are so awesome, Auntie is so proud of you!" Wei Xue was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
It feels like the haze in my heart seems to have dissipated a lot.
If Wei Yi becomes a ninth-grade swordsmith, his identity and status will be different.
In addition to being able to make a lot of money, it can also solve the financial problems of the family.
He might also make friends with some dignitaries because of this, and he might have a chance to rescue Wei Tieshan in the future.
"Aunt, you should rest first. I'll go to the Sword Making Department to sign up. I'll be back soon!" Wei Yi said.
"Okay!"
The Sword Making Department is located in the inner city, close to the government office of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Throughout the Great Yan Dynasty, there were a total of twelve sword-making departments, all under the unified management of the Arms Bureau.
Most sword-making departments in various places are managed by one chief envoy and three to five chief officials.
Responsible for the assessment and registration of swordsmiths, collecting sword-making taxes, and recruiting personnel during wartime.
Manage the Wang Zhuyin, as well as the daily supervision of the swordsmith.
All swordsmiths who pass the examination will be registered and files will be left for easy management.
At the same time, you will receive the exclusive King Pearl Seal and enjoy many rights.
For example, you have the right to sell swords and purchase refined iron and certain special ores.
You can even buy coal at low prices.
However, a ninth-grade swordsmith also needs to pay a one-jewel sword to the Sword Forging Department every month as a sword-making tax.
