How to House a Spirit, Zhang Wu Ji style! (1)

"My second brother, you at least need to tell me what you prefer..." Zhang Wu Ji questioned his second brother that standing guard behind him. Like a Slave Guard, he was monitoring that youth after seeing how nonchalant is him in the work to craft him a sword.

"I am your second brother, right? Then make me four swords that special enough, and most important, it has to be light! My former four season swords are too heavy as all of them were made with Advance-Grade Iron Ingots. This weight cost me too many Strands of Fighter Qi to move, which is the main reason I did not utilize my Warrior Qi during the fight." his brother stares at him and started to explains his preferences. Although he was stern in his manner of speech, in fact, it was just done for the sake to monitor this youngest brother's sudden improvement.

"Understood. Lightweight and durable, most importantly, they have to be sensitive with your Qi and agile right? But you said four swords... That's a hectic work for a youth like me, second brother... How about you... Nevermind." Zhang Wu Ji starting of his sentences bring much delight to Zhang Wu Chou for a moment, but when he started to plead for some time off even before he started, his anger burst through the roof again.

"Tell me about the first sword?" he changed topic immediately after seeing how quick is his second brother's temper came up. Since he treated the four swords like his personal treasure, bringing up this matter are the best to get rid of his second brother's anger.

"My Spring Season Sword needed to be flexible, intuitive, and cheerful. According to my understanding to the Supreme Sword of Four Seasons, the Spring Season Sword Style should bring one and opponent both into a state of mind where it was like two is exchanging their notes with each another, bringing not only benefit to the user, it will aid opponents with mind to improve, and spoil opponent with mind to reject." Although the explanation was simple, deep inside his words, a few keywords from the Manual his brother studies for so long is included in his sentence.

"How about the three remaining swords?" Zhang Wu Ji finishes his writing on the important traits he will have to consider in the first sword.

"The Summer Season Sword is the skill with strongest attacking power, which is the weapon I used the most during battle. I want something full with oppressing forces that allows me to overpowered all my opponents before they can act. For this sword, maybe their weight is important, but I've learned another Skill that allows me to increase the amount of force and pressure through my Fighter Qi."

"For the third, Autumn Season Sword, it has to be Strong, Durable, and best if it comes with good Shock Absorbing power. My ability now allows me to counter and retaliates from the opposing forces, but as my physical strength is not amongst the top, I have to depend more on my weapon's personal defensive strength. Last but not least, the Winter Season Sword. This sword needs to be stealthy, swift, and deadly, it is the best if the sword was sharp until it won't allow the blood to stick on the sword when it cuts the opponent."

"Did you get everything I requested from my sword?" Zhang Wu Chou asked. In his mind, he wasn't too confident on his brother's ability to craft the weapon he requested, but still, it was a worthy bet, because if there was a hint of chances for his youngest brother to craft this weapon for him, won't his strength increase by many folds?

"Understand. Let me go to the library to... Brother, wait... Wait!" Zhang Wu Ji did not have an intention of making a fool out of his second brother, but his temper was too fiery for him to complete his sentence before his brother took an action. At the end of their conversation, Zhang Wu Chou shows his brother personally to the Heavenly Sword Sect's Library, where over a million books are kept within for revision and guidance for breaking through. But that was after he knocks some sense into that kid's head first.

Plus, as the overlord of this Heavenly South County, the Heavenly Sword Sect have nothing but too many resources from all their Cities, Towns, and Villages every month in return of a steady assistance from the members of their sect. Of course, similar to the Seven Star County, their land is infested by some notorious bandits and beast as well, making such an assistance is important for them.

Without any manuals in his hand except a few used for battling purposes, Zhang Wu Ji is completely out of idea what he can do. Although he was a qualified Blacksmith, it doesn't means anything if he will have to put three times the effort to achieve what he does before. Burdened by this kind of pressure, Zhang Wu Ji has no choice but to refine some books inside here in order to achieve what he wanted to do.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Wu Ji remained in the Heavenly Sword Sect for another twelve days, while his other senior brother and sisters already returned to their Seven Star Sect after three more days. Within this twelve days, his strands of Fighter Qi increased into 353 strands now, half-way reaching the 5th Stage of an Inner Qi Fighter.

While he was inside the Heavenly Sword Sect, It wasn't easy either. On the first day inside the Library, Zhang Wu Ji requested to be given a great supply of Xuan Paper for him to refine the book. Day by day, he revises them without limiting himself, and with a result of one book a day, Zhang Wu Ji ends up with a total of twelve books, they were upgraded into a final result of three amazingly high-quality books.

Looking at the three successful Cultivation and Profession Manual in his hand, Zhang Wu Ji left the library and headed to the Blacksmith Department. He entered the spot as he went straight to the spot left especially for the Master Senior of the sect. Because his brother is the only Master Senior of the Heavenly Sword Sect, plus he did not engross himself to the art of Blacksmithing, this spot ends up being neglected.

Following all the guidance from his new Minor Achievement Iron Process, Zhang Wu Ji went over to the Mineral Ores as he collected a few before he begins to smelt them. Relying on the Special Bonus is given by the book, Zhang Wu Ji's speed in smelting the ore into their pure ingot form shocks the spectators within the department.

"So fast! Is this the ability of Master Senior Zhang Wu Chou's youngest brother?" the spectators look at his smelting technique before he moves into the Tempering Process. by utilizing only pure strength in tempering the Iron, Zhang Wu Ji forms a various type of metal ingots before he finalized his works with two ingots of Pure Iron, Sentient Iron, Crystal Iron, and a personalized folded Iron he named it according to the name he heard before back in his former world.

[Dasmacus Iron]

But the more worthy point worth mention is the fact from all the Mineral Ores Zhang Wu Ji collected, the production of all of them into two ingots each was so accurate it scares the blacksmiths within the Department itself. In fact, if any of their blacksmiths possess such an accurate calculation ability, it could help them to reduce the wastage of preparation resources at least by half, because it removes the requirement to refine the metal for the second time.

His performance spread the news until it reaches two important people of the sect, where the first one is the Department Head of the Blacksmithing Department, and the only Master Senior, Zhang Wu Chou. The moment they received the news of what Zhang Wu Ji just did, they immediately rush to the Blacksmithing Department in a hurry and managed to caught Zhang Wu Ji's next step in working with the metal.

"Open a path!" the Department Head ordered the juniors to let the two of them walk past the crowd. As the most experienced Blacksmith in the building, he instantly noticed the Purity of the Metal Zhang Wu Ji refined.

"Low! Low... Low-Tier Spirit-Grade Iron!" As a cultivator that advance through his way into an Inner Qi Master, he possesses the ability to notice the existence of nature spirits. Similar to their name, the Nature Spirit is created from all corner of the world, but their existence cannot be noticed by any cultivators below 40th Stage.

The crowd remained silent as they look at how Zhang Wu Ji engrossed himself in tempering the ingot until they reach their uppermost quality Zhang Wu Ji can possibly temper them. if the crowd were shocked by the fact Zhang Wu Ji accurately smelt the Mineral Ores into eight ingots, they were stunned by his current results, with eight Low-Tier Spirit-Grade Ingots positioned nicely on top of a piece of Thick Cloth that allows the refined and smooth edges ingots to sit on them nicely without a single scratch.

"Master Senior, your brother... What kind of background or master he's following? To easily process eight out of eight Low-Tier Spirit-Grade ingots like there were nothing, and not even leaving the furnace to cool while he was working on the ingots..." the Department Head questioned Zhang Wu Chou, but how can the second child of the family know how to answer his question? Perhaps even he himself has no idea that this brat is so talented with the Blacksmithing Art!

"What do you think he will do next?" one of the fellow blacksmiths inside the room questioned the others by his side, as they begin to whisper and guess Zhang Wu Ji's next action. Soon, Zhang Wu Ji took his opportunity to meditates and recover some of his body strength, before he continued.

Two Crystal Iron is tossed into the Furnace to be melted before he turns his attention to start forming a cast for the molten metal to be poured inside. Given the fact he possessed the special trait of 25% easier to inlay the patterns into the sword while they were moldable, Zhang Wu Ji started his work on preparing the first sword.

With the metal has been cast into a form of a crystal clear sword in its six five meters length in its body and a 1-meter long handle. In fact, Zhang Wu Ji crafted the weapon in a similarity like his Qiyue Flying Sword. But the only differences lie in the main material was used, and also according to his second brother's demand, the first sword, Spring Season Sword, was to Flexible, Intuitive, and Cheerful. Following this kind of arrangement, Zhang Wu Ji has chosen the Crystal Iron as it's main material to form the first sword.

Like he was forging a weapon for himself, each strike from Zhang Wu Ji's hammer strikes accurately on the sword's appointed location, quickly forming proper edges, tip, body, and a central ridge that will help the sword's blade become even durable. Then, he returns the sword back inside the furnace to be heated once more, before Zhang Wu Ji quenches the blade using the powder from High-Quality Ice Elemental Crystals.

Through this method, Zhang Wu Ji can feel much more at ease because the heated metal might suffer from metal shrinkage from the sudden quenching process. Added with the brittleness due to the Atoms within the Crystal Iron might not able to suffer this sudden changes, a quick freezing temperature carries by the powder from High-Quality Ice Elemental Crystals are able to get rid of his worries.

With the first sword is readied on the table, Zhang Wu Ji did not feel like sharpening it until the last moment. His current action actually gave the Department Head a heart attack, especially when the Nature Spirit is fighting right above the incomplete Spring Season Sword! If a blade is yet to enter their completion phase, how can it house a spirit?

Only the sharpening process itself may destroy the Nature Spirit!

Following the similar methods, Zhang Wu Ji did not ponder around nor wasting his time, and went straight to process the second and third sword at the same time. If the former action gave the Headmaster a heart attack, this will indirectly destroy his three soul and seven spirits!

"Ignorant! How can one be so ignorant after leaving a weapon that can house a Nature Spirit aside, and waste his effort to refine the two different kinds of metal at the same time? He completely destroys all the logic that a blacksmith... What is happening?" the Department Head almost finishes his words but something happened and cut him off.

Zhang Wu Ji took a step closer to the opened gap of the furnace before he places both palms facing the gap and churn the energy inside of his body. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu Ji utilized the Incense of Element's Fire Element to increase the heat within the furnace! This was the first reason for his action in taking a short meditation and rest earlier.

With the sudden increase of Pure Fire Element inside of the furnace, it increases the temperature exploding right inside of the furnace as it brings the two different material, the Pure Iron and Sentient Iron into their immediate melting point and poured into the cast one after another. While waiting for the two casted metal cooling down, Zhang Wu Ji took his opportunity to meditates once again for another ten minutes.

Unconscious of their time, this is the first time their Kitchen Department is questioning about where did all the idiotic metal workers go. For the first time in their history as a kitchen staff, there was not a single time these idiots charging at their staff fighting for food and even asking for seconds without giving the kitchen staff a nice time.

Only after going up from the dining hall into the Forging area the kitchen staff noticed that the crowd of almost 300 blacksmiths, along with the Department Head and the Master Senior is staring at a guest forging the metal. Even as a kitchen staff himself, the disciple understands how intense is the heat brought by the furnace.

How can a guest forge a weapon, two at a time on that, while being situated in between of the intense heat?

But when the Department Head noticed the kitchen staff's arrival where all of them were situated, he ordered that the kitchen should change the food into quick and easy to eat food without an explanation what happened.

Angered with the Department Head's order, the kitchen staff left, but soon returned with the others to deliver different foods, such as Meat Buns, Vegetable Buns, Yin Ling Fruits, and some steamed sweet potatoes. Like usual, the group of blacksmiths gulps and swallows the food before their attention return to the forging performance.

This time, instead of leaving the two swords aside like the first sword, Zhang Wu Ji tempered them until they were durable enough to withstand the quenching of oil and water. When the evaporating sound stops, Zhang Wu Ji similarly took them and placed on top of the table, but still failed to be label as complete products.

Now, with three sword is ready and one left, Zhang Wu Ji meditates again. Only at this time, he noticed that there was food distributed, thus, some of them took a few buns and wine for him to enjoy for a moment. Without even looking at the time, night came, darkening the skies with a few stars loitering around in the skies.

Meditating, eating, meditating, Zhang Wu Ji stands up as he prepared himself to begin the processing of the fourth sword, which was his own product, the Damascus Iron. Delivering a few percentages of the Pure Fire Element into the Furnace, Zhang Wu Ji increased the burning temperature of the furnace before the Damascus Iron Ingots entered the furnace and begin to be mixed into a single entity.

Hammer after hammer, entering the furnace and out again, Zhang Wu Ji runs through this process for a total of six times before he able to form this piece of Damascus Iron into a form of a Sword. The moment Zhang Wu Ji finally completed the overall features possess similarly by the four swords, one unexpectable scene happened in the room, which only the Department Head is the only person to understands what happened!

"What!"

"What is this thing happening right in front of my eyes!"

"Is this what was recorded from the Lower Southern State's Blacksmith Pavilion?"

"Spirit Sharpening?"

Fourth of the seven promised chapter for the week.
