I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 231: Chapter 171: Mastery of Skill, Reknown Echoes in All Directions

“Young Master Lu, could this be the legendary Outer Heaven Fallen Iron?”

Staring at the item extracted by Lu Qing, Master Lin asked while his eyes widened in disbelief.

“Yes, this is a piece of Outer Heaven Fallen Iron I’ve acquired by chance, perfect for forging my weapon,” Lu Qing did not deny.

“Such a large piece of Outer Heaven Fallen Iron…”

Upon receiving Lu Qing’s confirmation, Master Lin was so shocked he almost jumped up in amazement.

His eyes filled with incredulity.

...
This was Outer Heaven Fallen Iron, the legendary material for smithing divine weapons.

Just a small piece could transform Mortal Iron into Divine Iron.

Now, Lu Qing possessed such a large piece!

Master Lin finally understood why Lu Qing had been so disinterested in a Thousand-refined sword mold earlier, casually giving it away.

It turned out he had such a miraculous substance for forging in his hand.

Wei Xinghe, standing nearby, also felt astounded.

He too had heard of the great reputation of Outer Heaven Fallen Iron.

It was rumored to be one of the best materials for forging divine weapons, and yet, it was in Lu Qing’s possession.

“Young Master Lu, although the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron is a material for forging divine items, it is also highly resistant to heat. I fear that my furnace might not be able to melt it,” Master Lin said with a wistful smile after finally regaining his composure.

Outer Heaven Fallen Iron, originally from beyond the skies, was a miraculous substance that fell from the heavens.

In the process of entering this world, it had been tempered by the natural forces such as the Celestial Gale and lightning within the clouds.

Thus, its melting point was extremely high, and it was highly resistant to heat.

With the Zhu Xin Workshop’s furnace, they were likely unable to do anything to such a divine material.

“It’s no problem, I’ve come prepared. Master, you only need to help me control the temperature, and leave the rest to me,” Lu Qing said as he placed the piece of Outer Heaven Fallen Iron into the furnace for smelting.

Seeing this, Master Lin had no choice but to follow Lu Qing’s instructions and continued to pump the bellows.

As the bellows continued to operate, the flames within the furnace grew more and more intense, yet despite the prolonged smelting, the piece of Outer Heaven Fallen Iron showed no signs of change, not even a hint of turning red.

Just as Master Lin had guessed.

Their Zhu Xin Workshop’s furnace simply could not heat this divine metal.

However, Lu Qing’s expression was not one of impatience. He took out a small porcelain bottle, the size of a palm, from a wooden box, uncorked it, and promptly poured a drop of red Medicine Liquid into the furnace.

As the liquid fell into the furnace, the already vigorous flames shot up even higher, quickly changing from red to blue.

At the same time, intense heat spread out, causing even Master Lin, who had been smithing for the better part of his life, to feel unbearably hot.

Yet Master Lin couldn’t be concerned with that; his eyes were fixed on the blue flames, filled with disbelief.

“Pure Blue Flame, how is this possible?!”

His own furnace was handcrafted by himself; he was clear about its capabilities.

It simply could not produce such pure blue flames, after all, this was the stuff of legends, the Pure Blue Flame that every forger dreamed of.

“It’s that Medicine Liquid!”

Master Lin realized almost instantly that the transformation had to be caused by the liquid that Lu Qing had dropped into the furnace.

He stared intently at the porcelain bottle in Lu Qing’s hand, his eyes blazing with desire.

What sort of treasure liquid was this, that it could give rise to the legendary Pure Blue Flame?

“Master, proceed!”

Lu Qing, however, did not pay attention to Master Lin’s gaze but simply gave a light shout.

Master Lin jerked to attention, quickly gathering his heart and spirit, and controlling the bellows with all his might.

Lu Qing stared intently at the furnace, and seeing that the flame within was showing signs of changing from green to red, he dropped another drop of Medicine Liquid into it to maintain its pure green.

In the following time, whenever the flame in the furnace showed signs of weakening, Lu Qing would add a drop of Fire Burning Liquid to keep the furnace fire pure green.

Thus, under the continuous refining of the green flame, ten breaths later, the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron finally began to change, slowly turning red.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on the corners of Lu Qing’s mouth.

This Fire Burning Liquid was a peculiar Medicine Liquid that the Li Huo Sect had researched in the past that could stimulate the flame and greatly increase the flame temperature.

The purpose was to allow even disciples of the sect who had not cultivated True Fire to control higher-level flames and forge Divine Weapons.

In the Cultivation Era, this was not considered a particularly remarkable method.

But now, with the decline of Immortal Dao and the extinction of Cultivators who possessed True Fire, the value of this Fire Burning Liquid suddenly soared.

It became the only method he could use to melt the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron.

The Outer Heaven Fallen Iron in the furnace gradually turned red, and after dozens of breaths, it finally became glowing red.

Lu Qing did not delay, immediately took it out with tongs, placed it on the anvil, stretched out his hand to grab the heaviest hammer, and, with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing down, smashed it down fiercely!

Clang!!!

Under Lu Qing’s surging power, sparks flew, and a loud sound erupted, reaching miles away, and the entire backyard of Zhu Xin Workshop trembled.

Master Lin and his disciples all felt their hearts pound.

That strike from Lu Qing was much more ferocious than when he had been forging the Thousand-refined Sword Mold.

If the anvil were not sturdy enough, it might have been crushed and ruined by Lu Qing’s blow.

Under such a fierce Hammer Skill, even Divine Iron like the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron, fully heated to red-hot, was smashed and deformed by a single hammer blow.

At the sight, Master Lin’s eyelids twitched.

Another hammer, another refinement!

It was incredible that Young Master Lu could achieve one hammer, one refinement even with Divine Iron like the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron!

Clang!!!

One hammer brought success, and Lu Qing, without pause, flipped his hand and smashed down another hammer blow.

Clang! Clang! Clang!…

As Lu Qing continued to forge, the loud sounds kept ringing out and spreading.

Such commotion immediately disturbed the community.

It prompted the nearby people to come out of their houses and look towards Zhu Xin Workshop with astonishment and trepidation.

Was it Thunder God thundering, or what was Zhu Xin Workshop doing to produce such terrifying sounds?

Alas, no one could answer that question for the time being.

In order to allow Lu Qing to forge attentively, Master Lin had already temporarily closed Zhu Xin Workshop and ordered the disciples to stand guard, not letting outsiders enter.

Unless someone forced their way in, they could not see what was happening in the backyard.

But as the Forging Master who ranked first in the county, Master Lin’s status was high.

Without clear understanding, ordinary people were truly reluctant to offend him rashly.

Thus, despite their alarm, under the obstruction of the Zhu Xin Workshop disciples, the crowd could only suppress their curiosity, letting the loud sounds continue.

However, what no one expected was that the duration of these loud sounds far exceeded their imagination.

They actually continued for more than two hours before suddenly ceasing.
