Weapon pavillion 3

Hammering is a biased line of work and not every refinery would set up such a job. This job requires the person to hammer the weapon In which Physical and metal concentration requires.

A master level refiner could hammer a weapon with ease and skill, a good piece weapon is what desired by everyone, but would require hardwork and dedication. In addition, the efficiency involved was low and they would need a day to refine a weapon.

As for Immortal weapon Pavilion, required strong and hardworking men to create piece of art, Li Qiang was working as refiner when he was 5 years old he was very knowledgeable in refiner and his works where above masterful level

Refining was how Li Qiang had first come into contact with the Martial Way. Within the refinery, he trained himself in the refining process every day for the past ten years.

It was a very tiring job! Li Qiang had never considered himself a genius in the martial way. All he could depend on was his own hard work, and continue training over and over again. That was how he managed to form his solid martial foundation, by striking down the hammer, strike after strike within the refinery.

The keeper was unable to chase Li Qiang away and could only bring him over to the refinery …

"brother xi, this little brother wants to apply work as a refiner worker."

"refiner worker?" Within the Immortal weapon Pavilion, a tall and muscular young man in his twenties wearing a haveld dress appraised Lin Ming. Observing the plain clothes on his body and the backpack he was carrying which made him appear like a refugee, he frowned. He then spoke in a dissatisfied manner towards the keeper who brought LiQiang in. "What are you doing, bringing just anybody into the refinery. Dong Zi, give him some silver and send him away."

Obviously, this young man considered Li Qiang as a distressed child. As for the rebuked keeper, his face was bitter. Truthfully, he had tried to push Li Qiang out, but had discovered that Li Qiang's legs seemed to have grown roots and was immovable.

A young man had moved over to drive Li Qiang away. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his hands becoming lighter. He stared in confusion as Li Qiang had somehow taken away the refining hammer that he was holding.

Before the man named Dong Zi could understand what had happened, Li Qiang said. "I am not here to beg for money. Brother, it won't be too late for you to drive me away after seeing my craftsmanship."

The young man was slightly surprised; it appeared that this little kid has some experience in the craft. He shot a look at Dong Zi and said. "How useless, you cannot even handle a little kid. Go to the storehouse and bring over a metal piece." After that, he turned to Li Qiang and said. "If you can complete crafting a dagger with in half a long hour (1 hour), then I will allow you to stay in Immortal weapon Pavilion."

Dong Zi knew that he had lost face and turned shamefully to go bring the piece of metal over. However, Li Qiang interrupted him. "No need, I will do that one."

Li Qiang said as he pointed towards a black iron.

The young man became surprised. A black iron is rather strong material than the metal, the black iron required more power and hardwork compared to the ordinary metal.

For such a kind of black iron , even a masterful refiner would have a difficult time refiner a weapon. This kid is crazy.

"Are you joking? This piece of black iron is worth over a hundred gold liangs. How do you plan to pay us if you end up ruining it?" Dong Zi spoke out in discontent. He was still unhappy at Li Qiang for taking away his hammer.

The young man gave Dong Zi a glance and snapped. "If I let you ruin it, do you think you have what it takes to ruin it?"

Dong Zi suddenly found himself becoming speechless. The black iron is not the same as ordinary metal, Ordinary people would not be able to refine even with a hammer and would Ruin the material. it was not something that normal people could manage to accomplish.

The young man turned to face Li Qiang and said. "I will let you refine the piece of black iron!"

Li Qiang nodded his head and picked the best hammer in the refinery. He had only worked with black iron twice; both times were during refining his blade and some dagger for a customer. After all, black iron was was not something that an average person could afford to buy.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiang carefully stroked the piece of black iron, feeling the piece of metal. This process took up the time of an incense's stick. In his mind, he formed a diagram of the dagger. Comparing it with the diagram of his previous dagger , he confirmed it to be correct.

While waiting, some people became impatient and finally asked. "What are you doing? Why aren't you started refining?"

"Stop trying to be mysterious and do it."

It was only natural that these people would become impatient. A fifteen-year-old teenager claiming to be able to refine a piece of black iron, it could only appear to be a prank to them.

Li Qiang turned a deaf ear to these questions. He picked up the hammer, his eyes becoming extremely focused. For him, the refining process was the equivalent of a practice session.

After having confirmed the diagram of the dagger, Li Qiang finally began.

In the hands of Li Qiang, this ordinary hammer turned into an exceptionally weapon. The process of Li Qiang refining the wepon was smooth like a water in the river.

Observing this occurrence, the person who had been asking questions immediately shut his mouth. This feat alone would have required wrist strength of at least three hundred jin (181.4 kg). For them, the feat of hammering the black iron would normally require either great strength and physique.

Everyone could only hear the sounds of hammer "ting ting".

Looking at how easily Li Qiang was handeling the hammer, the man called Dong Zi rubbed his eyes. He suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. Is this little kid really refining the black iron?

Li Qiang moved gracefully. Occasionally, he would check his work.Thus, he ended up using about less than half a long hour to refine the dagger. Beside the piece of black iron showing almost no loss during work.

This scene caused everyone to become astounded. What Li Qiang had done may seem easy, but everyone here knew that the refining a weapon is a huge project, requiring around Two strong men to work in tandem for around 3 hours. However, that teenager only has a slightly reddish face after completing the task. Judging by his looks, he was ready to go again.

As it was already night, the immortal weapon Pavilion was no longer that busy, allowing many of its members to quietly watch the scene unfold. Then, Li Qiang placed down the hammer and asked. "Can I work here now? My working hours must not exceed two long hours (4 hours) and my asking monthly salary is at Ten gold liangs. One more thing, you need to provide food and accommodation for me."

The young man pondered this for a moment before nodding. "Deal!"

Li Qiang's condition was not low; however, it was worth it. Judging by the speed Li Qiang had shown earlier, many things could be done within two long hours. Most importantly, his work was highly efficient, causing very little loss in materials.

Thus, Lin Ming began working for Immortal weapon Pavilion. The two long hours he spent there was not a loss because it was also a form of training for him. Punching and practicing blade skill on tree trunks was a form of training in brute strength, while refining was a form of precision training.

On that very night, Li Qiang remained in the storehouse and refined two weapon of lower grade quality. After having done so, his entire body was drenched in sweat and his arms were feeling sore. He prepared to refine the last one before heading to his lodge to rest.

For the last one, he chose high grade black iron ore– for refining spear head

Due to having consumed too much primal energies earlier, Li Qiang was about refine black iron. But he saw rather peculiar thing in the ore instead of being Heavy it was weightless just like paper.

He then took a hammer started striking the ore.

After striking it for a while it crumbled little by little Li Qiang found this ore was rather hard than black iron ore it was like this rock was not from this world, lastly the ore crumbled down and round ball like object came rolling toward his leg.

Inner core?

Does ore's have core like beast this was rather new to him, as mumbling he took the ball like object it was glowing blue luminous light Li Qiang was mesmerized by it started thinking what was it what could it be.

Li Qiang started investigating the object he cut his finger poured a drop of blood but it did not work tried to eat the object but couldn't it was as hard as a rock.

It really does look like a stone, but there is something peculiar about this stone…

There was inscription engraved on it saying Soul and it was giving mysterious aura.

Lin Qiang carefully observed it. It did not seem to be metal, nor does it appear to be stone. Perhaps it is a form of jade?
