52 Uncle Bao

After an incense stick of time, Yang Shi just threw away the scrolls. The scrolls are all about various metals and ores, Their internal structures, Their special quality, etc. Regarding refinement, there is only limited information. All the things recorded are the simplest way of Blacksmithing, Heating the ores, and mixing them.

Yang Shi remembered all the properties of various ores and metals and the theories about Weapon refinement. But the techniques written here can only build ordinary weapons. They can be made on Flameclouds Stones, Which are basically like coal here.

A spirit grade weapon needs to be refined in Spirit Flame. Spirit Flames is a wondrous item. There are three kinds of spirit flames. First, one can acquire from the beast core of a Flame Attribute Demon Beasts. It's called beast flames. This the common Spirit Flames here. Another kinds are born under the blessing of heaven and earth. They are called Earth Flames. They are powerful than Beast Flames, But they need an enormous fortune and effort to get an Earth flame. The third way is the Bloodline Flame. Once a cultivator reached a higher realm and gained comprehension of Fire, They able to control powerful Spirit fire at will. And this ability can be passed down to bloodline, Giving the descendants the power of spirit flame from birth.

" Spirit Flame isn't much an issue. I can get a beast flame if I tried hard enough. Killing a Flame attribute Demon Beast, Not That hard."

" Hmm, It is not helping me. I can't refine any Spirit Grade weapons like this? Do I really need to join a sect? But, The mission requirement is to not join any sect. What should I do now?" Yang Shi thought.

" Urgh. My brain is bursting. Let me take some rest." Yang Shi lied on the bed. But then he got started by some voice.

" Hmm? Someone is here?!!!" Yang Shi sat up. He picked up the Dark Twilight Dagger and walked toward the noise.

"Hmph, I thought you will be able to finish the Scrolls of Blacksmithing. But You just threw them away." An elderly voice said.

" You... Old Man, Why the hell you are here?" Yang Shi recognized the voice. It was the short, white haired elder, called Uncle Bao.

" When did he came behind me?" Yang Shi's hair stood on its end. This elder is no pushover.

"As I said, Blacksmithing isn't any Child's Play." Uncle Bao shook his head.

" What do you mean? Those crappy scrolls? I have finished them long ago." Yang Shi shrugged.

" Hmph, Stop boasting kid. Even genius needs to read for a day to finish all the ten scrolls here." Uncle Bao snickered.

" WHAT?!! One day for these scrolls? And you call them genius? Have your brain gone senile?" Yang Shi asked.

" You-You, Who the hell is senile? You arrogant brat. You don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth." Uncle Bao raged. " You have shamed the art of Blacksmithing. If you are this confident, It means you have already memorized the scrolls, isn't it?" Uncle Bao angrily asked.

Yang Shi brought ten scrolls from Hundred Gold Pavilion. Each scroll is thick and heavy, Filled with mountain like information. There are records of at least a few thousand metals and ores. And top of that, One needs to remember their various properties, The place it could be found, The melting point, and the effects of mixing it with different metals, etc. So even cultivators have a hard time remembering all the things.

" Yeh, I have remembered all the content to these ten scrolls." Yang Shi said proudly.

" Oh, Really? Then let me ask some questions. How can one find the best quality of Blue Stain Iron?

" Blue Stain Iron is founded from extreme cold places, Where Yin energy is high. The best quality of Blue Stain Iron is needed to be at least 500 years old. One can judge it's age and quality by scratching it a bit. If the inner part is bit Azure, then it's not high quality. If it was deep blue, Then it is the pure Blue Stain Iron." Yang Shi said confidently.

" This..." Uncle Bao didn't expect that Yang Shi would answer this quickly, and correctly on that.

" Hmph, Beginners luck. Let me ask you another one. If Describe the process of mixing Purple light crystals with Red Phoenix ore?"

" The melting point of Red Phoenix Ore is very high. One needs to heat the Red Phoenix ore until it gets half liquified. Then he can add the Purple Light Crystals. But after an incense stick of time, we need to Shining Black Sand in it. Although Red Phoenix Ore is melted, It ould not mix with Purple Light Crystals directly, here the Shining Black Sand is like a bridge. Mixing it also increases the durability of the new alloy." Yang Shi said.

" You..." Uncle Bao became speechless. If the first time was sheer luck, Then whats about the second time?

" THIRD QUESTION..." Uncle Bao became more and more astonished. The more he listened to the answer of Yang Shi, The more amazed he got. Yang Shi's answer was flawless.

" Hmph, I see. You do have potential. But don't get cocky soon. Knowing theory and doing the actual thing is vastly different. You need to get a Spirit Flame and a Blacksmithing table. You also need a vast amount of Metals and Ores to do the practice. Any kind of profession is literally burning money.

" I know. I have enough metals and ores. Just need Spirit Flame and Blacksmithing table." Yang Shi grinned. He can feel that this Old Man is helping him.

" Hmm, Can you condense flame?" Uncle Bao asked.

" Yes." Yang Shi nodded and with a wave of the hand, Flame materialized in his hand.

" As, I thought. Such a pure flame." Uncle Bao murmured.

" Is it strange?" Yang Shi asked. When he awakened the Crimson Lily as his Primordial Spirit, His control over flames grew enormously. He ould feel the power of the Flame Spear has increased as well.

" Hmm, Your Flame is indeed strange. I have a special Technique for you." Uncle Bao smiled.

" Technique?"
