15 Yi-Jia Swords. (1/2)
He was already here in the sect for almost three weeks already. Although there weren't any sudden improvement in his cultivation, the achievement in the section of knowledge and the relationship between him and his senior brother and sisters are significantly improved compared to before.
His relationship with his senior brother eighth is repaired, and also with this incident of his seventh brother, he was sure that the bond between him and the eighth seniors should be closer by a lot now.
When he entered his courtyard, Zhang Wu Ji was greeted with the arrival of his eight senior brother and sisters in his courtyard, each of them was exchanging their opinion in cultivation while waiting for their youngest junior to come back.
Since they know that their youngest junior was very fond with reading, the eight of them were here with a small gift, namely books, to be given to their junior as a sign of good will. Only their eldest senior brother came with a second gift, which was a box with another hundred Qi Sensing Pills.
”Eldest brother! This gift is too much!” knowing how valuable is the Qi Sensing Pills, Zhang Wu Ji intends to reject the gift at first, but were forced to accept them when Eldest brother mentioned that this was delivered to him by their master, who doesn't want anyone to think that he's being impartial and over pampering the youngest disciple too much.
”Oh... Since it comes from the master, then I'll accept them. Please help me to thank our master and tell him that the ninth will do something in return for such a gift.” Zhang Wu Ji requested that his eldest brother deliver the message back to their master, and accepted the box with a hundred Qi Sensing Pills.
”Ninth, we're here for one request actually.” the second brother steps up and speaks. Being the most straightforward among them, he was the best candidate to bring up this matter.
”My second brother, please tell, you know ninth will not hesitate to help if its related to his eight senior brother and sisters!” Zhang Wu Ji replied, and pay attention to his second brother.
”To be honest, your eight senior brothers and sister all went out to challenge the disciple from another sect in our previous visit, and up till now, our weapon is still not repaired into their peak condition yet. Although your Eldest brother, me, third and fourth is safe and fine with the half-broken weapon, if we were to met with the incident with the seventh brother again, the weapon will be a hindrance, and not help!”
”It was because seventh brother's Seven Leaves Sword break in the battle that the Jade Toothed Bat managed to give him a bite. This time, since ninth is here, can your senior brother and sisters request you to help us repair our weapons?” the second brother explains their difficult situation to their youngest brother after the sixth sister see how amazing is his ability in handling the metal through forging.
”Of course! If I am not using my ability for good, then for what am I learning blacksmithing? Senior brother and sisters, feel free to leave your weapon to me and tell me how would you like your weapon to be done. Since it was almost in a broken state anyway, why not we mold them into a better weapon that suits ourselves more?” Zhang Wu Ji agreed to help his eight senior brother and sisters and decides to do more.
What is the use of repair if they were not suitable, to begin with? Once it enters the furnace, they will undergo the most profession changeover, and so, stating the changes in the sword is the way he can make sure that this eight new weapon will suits his senior brother and sisters perfectly!
”Since our ninth brother says so, everybody, let's not hesitates with this and be decisive! Tell our brother what we want in the sword when they undergo the forging!” the eldest stand-up and lead the other closer to their youngest, and begin to describes their requirement on the weapon.
Although it took a while to decipher the real meaning between his eight senior brother and sisters, at the end of their discussion, h managed to understand what they actually wanted. And for the next step, he will keep all of their weapons, because they were all used by his respective senior brother and sisters until they turned into this state.
With all of their weapon is already in his hand, how can he not start his work now? Zhang Wu Ji knows that without sufficient material to be used, it will be difficult for him to complete their weapon makeover within a few days, thus he went to the sect's Weapon Forge to request for some higher quality metal, such as Pure Iron and Sentient Iron.
It reduced the need to smelt the mineral out from the ore, and he will be left with only two works. Removal of the impure silica inside the ingots, and removal of other Iron components from the Ingots. He will only need and use the purest and highest quality Iron in his hand, and not the semi-completed products.
Armed with the barely sufficient Strands of Inner Qi, Zhang Wu Ji started. With only 38 strands of Inner Qi, he can only manage to use to Art of Pulverized Iron for six times before he exhausted himself from continues. With every 4 hours pass, he continued the execution of the Art of Pulverized Iron, until he finally completed the two Pure Iron ingots in their high-grade quality.
With only one and one-third ingots is required, Zhang Wu Ji first combined the first ingot with the one-third part of the second ingots together, to form an Iron rod before he cut them into eight pieces of round plates. What weird from his cutting, the fifth and sixth Round Iron plate is smaller than the others, and the seventh's Iron plate is twice the size compared to the other similar.
Taking the first, second, third, fourth, and eighth Round Iron plates, he begins to forge them in the alphabetical order, starting from the first plate. The reason behind this arrangement was because of his senior demands a different length, weight, and also in their shape.
With his eldest brother's first, Zhang Wu Ji fire the furnace into their top temperature before he starts shaping the plate into the form of a sword. As the eldest among the nine of them, his first senior brother requested for a sword that came in the length of exactly 1.6 meters long on the blade, and void of the handguard because of the familiarity for using the Seven Leaves Sword for so long.
As for the second and third brother, their request is to craft a weapon that comes with a heavier sword guards, because amongst the nine disciples, second and third brother is the chubbiest among all, with the whopping size of 130kg in weight. Therefore, to match their size and strength, possessing a thicker and heavier sword is a must.
The fourth brother and eighth brother are more to design, where both loved literature and calligraphy since young. Their demand is simple, a blade similar to the Seven Leaves Sword, only in a better quality, and the engraving of [Seven Star] in the blade's body.
As for the fifth and sixth sister, their demand was a sword specially crafted for them, with the length of 1.5 meters long, and as light as feather, but more durable than a block of steel. Due to the two senior sisters are a very refined ladies, their demand on the sword should come with not too much, and not too over decorated, to represents the simple yet elegant life of theirs.
Lastly, is the seventh brother sword, which was broken during their fight in the cave infested by poisonous Wild Beast and also Jade Toothed Bat. Being the biggest physically among the nine of them, the seventh brother is standing as high as 2.32 meters tall when he did not bend his knees. To a person of his size, a proper length sword is a must.
Specially crafted and sharpened, Zhang Wu Ji crafted a 2.22 meters long sword for his seventh brother, which carries a more special shape, which stating how eager the wielder wishes to pierce through the seven stars. With their initial shape is formed, he can begin with working on their body, sharpness, weight, and designs.
The process to complete the eight swords took him six days in total, where his Strands of Inner Qi increased to 42. When the door into the Blacksmithing Room is unlocked, his eight senior brother and sisters gathered before him, just to take a look at the eight swords placed on top aligned together on the working table.
