Chapter 21. hearing about inscriptions

Xua Yan, on the other hand, was still trying to understand what was going on. He had never heard of the term "void place" before and was curious about its meaning. He was also trying to figure out the relationship between the old woman and the man in front of him. The old woman was calling the man "master" and acting as if she was a spoiled child in front of him. Xua Yan realized that there must be some sort of custom in this world that he was not yet familiar with.

Xua Yan was puzzled when the man said, "This is indeed a miracle in this void place." He didn't understand what the man was referring to. Xua Yan felt it necessary to interrupt and ask for clarification. The man finally gained his senses and started laughing.

He then shifted his attention to the forge and pointed towards it, indicating that Xua Yan could use it. Xua Yan told the man that the traditional method wouldn't work in this forge. He explained that he needed to make a new, primitive system to extract the essence from the ore before he could use any ore to make a weapon.

Xua Yan had previous experience with making steel from iron ore and knew that it required a different approach to create the right conditions for making steel. He was determined to use his knowledge and experience to create metal of steel and make weapons that would be strong enough to protect him in case of an emergency.

The old man listened to Xua Yan's explanation and nodded in agreement. He understood that Xua Yan was skilled and knowledgeable in his craft and had a unique perspective on how to make weapons. The old man respected Xua Yan's expertise and was eager to see the outcome of his work.

Xua Yan was ready to get to work after being given permission to use the forge by the man. He first made a forge using soil. This was a new and primitive type of system that was necessary for the process of extracting and making the essence from the ore. With this in place, Xua Yan could use any type of ore to make steel.

The process of making a forge from soil was a complex one, but Xua Yan was determined to see it through. He first gathered all the necessary materials and tools, then he carefully mixed the soil and other ingredients together. The mixture was then molded into the shape of a forge, with a chimney and air vents to allow the fire to breathe.

Once the forge was built, Xua Yan lit the fire in the forge, and the heat rose high into the sky. He added the iron ore to the fire, and the metal began to melt. Xua Yan watched carefully as the impurities rose to the surface, and he used his long tongs to remove them. This was a crucial step in the process, as the impurities would weaken the steel if left in.

Once the iron was purified, Xua Yan added other elements, such as manganese and nickel, to produce the desired grade of steel. Finally, the moment arrived and Xua Yan removed the iron ore from the forge. He then shaped the ore into steel using a hammer and anvil, carefully forging it into the desired shape. The process was a long and difficult one, but Xua Yan was determined to see it through to the end. After several hours of hard work, Xua Yan finally succeeded in making steel from the iron ore. He was elated at the results and proud of his achievement.

After successfully creating steel from the iron ore, Xua Yan got to work on making his favorite weapons. With the knowledge from his previous life as a blacksmith and the new information he acquired from the library of Entropy, Xua Yan began crafting his weapons with precision and care.

First on his list was a set of needles. These small yet deadly weapons were his signature weapon and something he was particularly skilled at crafting. He used his knowledge to create the perfect balance between weight and sharpness, making sure that the needles would be easily thrown and would penetrate their target with ease.

Next, Xua Yan moved on to creating a flying knife. This weapon was known for its ability to change direction mid-flight, making it a formidable opponent. Xua Yan spent hours perfecting the design, ensuring that it would fly straight and true, even in windy conditions.

Finally, Xua Yan set to work on creating two katana-like flexible swords. These swords were similar to katanas, but with a few key differences. The swords were designed to be more flexible, allowing for a wider range of motion and greater versatility in combat. Xua Yan put his all into making these weapons, as he knew that they would be essential for his protection in the dangerous world he lived in.

Once he was finished with the weapons, Xua Yan stepped back to admire his handiwork. He was pleased with the results, as he knew that he had created weapons that were both beautiful and deadly. The old woman watched with amazement as Xua Yan tasted his newly crafted weapons, it was hard for her to believe that a 13-year-old would have this kind of attitude in martial arts and as well as forging she was impressed by the level of skill and craftsmanship that had gone into their creation.With his weapons finally complete, Xua Yan felt a renewed sense of confidence. He knew that he was now better equipped to face any danger that may come his way.

The old woman and the man in the forge had the opportunity to witness Xua Yan's skills first hand as he presented one of the swords he had made. The man took the sword in his hand and immediately noticed its strength and precision. The weight and balance of the sword were perfectly calibrated, making it an efficient and formidable weapon. This level of expertise and attention to detail in the forging process was not something the man and old woman were used to seeing. They were both amazed by the quality of the sword and how Xua Yan had been able to craft such a weapon from the iron ore.

The old woman was particularly impressed by Xua Yan's abilities. She had already been aware of his martial arts talent, but seeing his forging skills only added to her admiration for him. The way Xua Yan was able to turn raw materials into a functional and beautiful weapon was a testament to his skills and creativity.

As the man was inspecting and testing the sword, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "if we add an inscription to this sword, it will become an absolute killer." Xua Yan was surprised to hear this, as he had been paying close attention to the man's actions and words. The man's words caught Xua Yan's attention because he remembered getting a book from Entropy about inscriptions and that's why he asked him about the inscription. Xua Yan was eager to learn more about the process of adding an inscription to a weapon, as he knew that this would increase its power and effectiveness.

The man was impressed by Xua Yan's curiosity and explained to him the concept of inscriptions. He told Xua Yan that inscriptions were special symbols or runes that were engraved on weapons or other objects. These inscriptions had the ability to imbue the object with powerful abilities, such as increased strength, agility, or elemental powers. Inscriptions could be made by skilled artisans, who were known as inscriptionists, and were highly valued for their abilities.

The man also told Xua Yan that adding an inscription to a weapon was a complex and difficult process. It required not only knowledge of the inscription itself, but also knowledge of the weapon and the materials used to create it. An inscription could not simply be added to any weapon, as the weapon had to be specially prepared and strengthened so that it could withstand the power of the inscription.

Adding an inscription to a weapon was a rare and coveted skill, only known by the most legendary forgers in the world. This was because the process of adding an inscription was complex and required a deep understanding of not only the materials used in the weapon but also the energy and power behind the weapon. To add an inscription, the forger needed to have a keen sense of the weapon's essence and to understand how to harness the power and energy within the weapon to create an inscription that would enhance the weapon's abilities.

The process of inscribing a weapon was a delicate and time-consuming process, requiring precise control and mastery of the weapon's materials. The forger had to understand the properties of the weapon's materials and be able to control the energy within the weapon to create an inscription that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The inscription had to be carefully crafted to enhance the weapon's abilities and provide additional power and strength to the wielder.

For most people, the idea of adding an inscription to a weapon was a foreign concept, and only the most skilled forgers had the ability to create such a weapon. Inscribing a weapon was considered a rare and valuable skill, and forgers who possessed this skill were highly sought after.

Overall, the ability to add an inscription to a weapon was considered a legendary skill, and only a few forgers in the world were capable of creating such a weapon. The process required a deep understanding of the weapon's materials, the energy within the weapon, and the power and abilities of the wielder. The forger who could create a weapon with an inscription was considered a master of their craft, and their weapons were highly sought after by those who wanted the ultimate in weapon strength and power.

As Xua Yan conversed with the man and the old woman, he began to understand that they were not just simple blacksmiths and shopkeepers. The fact that they were knowledgeable about inscriptions was a clear indication of their expertise in the field of weapon making. Their understanding of inscriptions was not something that an ordinary person would have knowledge of. The mere mention of inscriptions by the man only further cemented Xua Yan's belief that they were much more than they seemed.

Additionally, as Xua Yan observed the man, he felt that there was something special about him. The man's posture, the way he held himself, and his overall demeanor all hinted at the fact that he was a master of his craft. And the way he talked about inscriptions with the old lady and Xua Yan it was clear that he knew how to add an inscription on a weapon. Xua Yan was able to see this because they thought of Xua Yan as a normal 13-year-old and talked freely in front of him.

But after listening to the old woman and the man, Xua Yan was overjoyed at this discovery because he had already acquired a book on inscriptions from the Entropy. This meant that he now had access to information on inscriptions, and he could potentially add this skill to his list of abilities as a forger. He just needs to learn that book properly and he knows he can learn that book more effectively with the use of liberty inside of the entropy. By using the library he was determined to study the book thoroughly and gain a deep understanding of this art so that he could improve the quality of his weapons even further and make them more deadly. By having a good understanding of inscriptions, Xua Yan felt that he could make his weapons even more deadly and give himself an edge in any potential conflicts that might arise in the future.
