Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
They encountered a surprising sight—a Senior Brother who defied the typical arrogance often associated with seniority. His warm smile greeted them as he kindly inquired, “Senior Brother, can you do Junior Sister a favor?”
Though he sensed that Gu Chaoyan might be up to some mischief, he found himself eager to assist her nevertheless. During an earlier occasion, he had observed her expertly forge a sword using an unconventional method that proved remarkably effective. Attempting to replicate her technique, he diligently ground crystals into powder and attempted to sprinkle them over black iron, just as she had done. However, despite following the same steps, he couldn’t achieve the desired outcome. Puzzled and seeking answers, he approached an Elder for guidance, only to receive an admission of ignorance. The Elder did promise to inquire with Gu Chaoyan in the future if an opportunity arose.
With the intention of seeking an opportunity to inquire about the technique, he hadn’t anticipated that his junior sister would approach him directly for help— an unexpected and ideal solution.
Participating in the process would grant them a true understanding of its profoundness.
Shen Heyu rushed over joyfully, asking, “What do you need me to do, Junior Sister?”
Gu Chaoyan was pleasantly surprised by his enthusiasm. Given the general attitude of the Faculty of Refining’s disciples towards her, she hadn’t expected such warmth from him. Regardless, she brushed aside these minor concerns and focused on the task at hand—completing the forging swiftly to wrap up the project.
She instructed, “Senior Brother, please help me change the water regularly, ensuring it remains ice-cold.”
Although Shen Heyu found his Junior Sister’s request somewhat puzzling, he readily agreed and paid close attention to her forging technique and the water exchange process.
The process of forging proficiency black iron involved a particular technique that required skillful control—gradually transitioning from light to heavy proficiency, with the weight determined by the proficiency’s unique attributes.
Gu Chaoyan was well-versed in this forging method, but it demanded substantial energy and time to craft the proficiency iron. After hours of tireless hammering, the blade finally began to take shape, looking impressive.
Even though Gu Chaoyan was confident in her skills, before plunging the sword into the ice-cold water, it still appeared unsightly, lacking both color and appeal.
Shen Heyu couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions at this sight.
However, as Gu Chaoyan retrieved the sword from the icy bath, a remarkable transformation became evident. The blade emitted a chilling aura and possessed an unprecedented sharpness.
Witnessing this astonishing change, Shen Heyu and others present were left utterly stunned. None of them had anticipated such a profound alteration.
Meanwhile, those who had not witnessed the process of transformation speculated that the sword had undergone some mysterious change, unaware of the true intricacies involved.
“Junior Sister, this is truly magical! How does the forging of black iron work? I’ve been closely observing your technique, but I couldn’t grasp the secret behind it. Initially, I thought it was about alternating one light and one heavy strike, then three light and two heavy strikes. But as it progressed, I found myself completely bewildered,” Shen Heyu expressed his confusion. Gu Chaoyan felt so annoyed.
It seemed that she needed to teach her Senior Brothers after she finished forzinz the sword.
That would take up so much of her time.
And she was not going to offend them!
Gu Chaoyan felt so annoyed.
“There is no standard forging method for turbid proficiency black iron..”
