50 Blueprint Option 2 (1/2)
First Grade Blueprint - Qiyue Sword (Incomplete)
-Travelling Speed: 40km/h | Fighter Qi Consumption Rate: 16
-Capacity: 3 person | Usage: Transportation only
-Durability: 16/20 | Quality: Mediocre-Grade Incomplete Product
-Information: The Qiyue Sword, Qixue Sword, and Qijie Sword are created by Qi Yuan, a Celestial Designer in Training. Armed with the force to combine three into one, the Qiyue, Qixue, and Qijie can be combined into one single form which further enhances their mobility rate.
”It seems like the quality of the blueprint is just mediocre. Not only that, the ingredient it requires exceeds the basic requirement of a proper flying sword. Although I agree with a few key ingredients, like the 60% above Low-Tier Spirit Grade Iron and Copper Ingots, why do the recipe need ten of each just for the sake of crafting this sword? Only the material itself is going to be a burden to the weapon, not to mention the passenger capacity is only 3 person.” Zhang Wu Ji did not give the Blueprint in hand a good comment, but nevertheless, this scroll is the first treasure that comes with a drawn picture for illustration purposes.
”I got the ability to creates the Blueprint, so why don't I try myself? Let me use this one as an example first.” Zhang Wu Ji prepared the longer Double Xuan Paper in his stationary shelf and unroll the paper until it matches the length of the former blueprint. He remembered a few of its key detail, and with a dab of his writing brush on the ink, Zhang Wu Ji started his imitation process.
But the moment his tip of the brush touches the surface of the paper, Zhang Wu Ji's Inner Qi is depleting in a high speed with the rate of a thousand Strands for each stroke of drawing. With roughly 222 strands of Fighter Qi, Zhang Wu Ji can finish twenty-two strokes before he exhausted himself from using too much Qi in a short period of time. Although the exhausted Strand of Qi can be rejuvenated by a simple rest, the exhaustion mentally is much more difficult to bear especially from the side effect such as vomiting, headache, and disturbance in five senses.
According to his estimation, It will take him between 300 strokes to reaches the quality similar to the blueprint, and around 550 strokes if he wishes to make this a complete product. Hence, Zhang Wu Ji took the opportunity to rest in between of his progress and only managed to complete the Qiyue Sword Blueprint after spending five days. The end results were a complete satisfaction when he read its overall description.
First Grade Blueprint - Qiyue Sword (Primary Completion)
-Travelling Speed: 55km/h | Fighter Qi Consumption Rate: 10
-Capacity: 3 person | Usage: Transportation only
-Durability: 26/26 | Quality: Mediocre-Grade Complete Blueprint
-Information: The Qiyue Sword, Qixue Sword, and Qijie Sword are created by Qi Yuan, a Celestial Designer in Training. After being perfected by Celestial Designer In Training, Zhang Wu Ji, the Qiyue Sword is now much more agile and required less precious ingredient to craft. Unfortunately, proper changes have to be made in order to combine the Qiyue, Qixue, and Qijie Sword together.
”How about I upgrade the scroll before I follow the production method instruction recorded in the blueprint?” Zhang Wu Ji tests his luck in upgrading the scroll until it reaches the +5 Status. He wanted to made them at least until +7, but based on the number of days he needed to make a copy, it will be better to not do anything recklessly for now.
First Grade Blueprint - Qiyue Sword +5 (Primary Completion)
-Travelling Speed: 60km/h | Fighter Qi Consumption Rate: 10
-Capacity: 3 person | Usage: Transportation only
-Durability: 31/31 | Quality: Mediocre-Grade Complete Blueprint
-Information: The Qiyue Sword, Qixue Sword, and Qijie Sword are created by Qi Yuan, a Celestial Designer in Training. After being perfected by Celestial Designer In Training, Zhang Wu Ji, the Qiyue Sword is now much more agile and required less precious ingredient to craft. Unfortunately, proper changes have to be made in order to combine the Qiyue, Qixue, and Qijie Sword together.
”Oh, only an additional few points in durability and the traveling speed, nothing too much in its changes I guess... Wait!” Zhang Wu Ji almost ends up by assuming that's the quality of this completed Blueprint, but he notices some differences in the kind of ingredient it needed.
(6) 6th Stage Beast Core from any kind of Wild Beast.
(3) High-Quality Crystal of any kinds.
(8) High-Grade Iron Ingots
(2) High-Grade Copper Ingots
”The ingredient it required changed! Not only it can accept any kind of Wild Beast's Core as the ingredients, the requirement of the High- Quality Crystals reduced from 10 to 3, and the total of ingots it required reduced from twenty to ten, and only high-grade products are sufficient enough to create this weapon!” Zhang Wu Ji's possibility to craft this Flying Sword changed from impossible to possible, and from difficult to easy.
”This is good! Not only I can easily craft ten to twenty of this weapon, but I can also even upgrade them so their performance is better than usual crafted products!” Zhang Wu Ji celebrates his success in completing the blueprint and also simplified their crafting process. Although the success rate of crafting this weapon is extremely low, especially due to the fact the people in this continent possess no insight in deciphering drawings, but this wasn't a problem especially to him.
He was a cheater after all, with the ability to succeed in many things, unless he modified them or not following a certain requirement practice. Otherwise, Zhang Wu Ji capability in successfully handling all the materials can reach 100% success rate easily with a smack from his hammer.
Since he possesses all the required ingredients within his Blacksmithing Room, Zhang Wu Ji did not spend much time to prepares his material, except preparing them in a way they reach the minimal requirement to fit to be used as a part of the crafting ingredients. Lifting the hammer up above his head, Zhang Wu Ji lands his first strike at the Primary metal that was to be melted together and forms an alloy similar Bronze, but stronger than Steel.
With the addition of the High-Quality Crystals used during the process to form the alloy similar to Bronze, Zhang Wu Ji understands one simple fact that he did not realize before.
”No wonder the Blacksmithing Technique and abilities has nothing related to the elemental combination within them! Now I understand the differences! The Blacksmithing process is more to using purest form of a material to be made into metal, while for the Celestial Designers, their product is more related to scientific metallurgy, consisting of a combination of over two, three, or maybe four elements to create a new material.”
”Of course, this doesn't mean that the Celestial Designer is better nor the Blacksmith is weaker. Their profession is still related to metal, only their procedures and main focus in their end results were different.” Zhang Wu Ji understands this simple fact. Being a person that came from a much more modern world previously, Zhang Wu Ji is no stranger to high-quality alloys such as Steel, Bronze, and Coloured Gold such as Rose Gold or White Gold. Living in that world, he was exposed to the fact how strong an alloy could be when it was mixed with a few different elements.
But living in this world for over half a year now, Zhang Wu Ji was exposed to another fact. Does this mean Combined Alloy is stronger? The answer was a ”No”. As a blacksmith himself, Zhang Wu Ji was again exposed to the fact pure metal, such as the Iron and the gemstones. Few times in his experience, he was given the opportunity to understand how different is the durability carried by the pure metal compared to impure metals.
As his mind continues to flow in those thoughts, Zhang Wu Ji's body maintains his action and poured the content of the Bronze Alloy into a cast, which was made into the shape of a sword. Because the Alloy maintains a part of the copper's malleability, Zhang Wu Ji further his tempering on this weapon, to see at what extent can this sword get when it was completed.
About two hours later, a sword with an appearance of a rhombus Blade and a two-palms thick handle is created from the cast. With the Central Ridge is thicker than a normal broadsword, Zhang Wu Ji followed the design he personally modified to craft the Flying Sword. Only after putting another two hours of effort Zhang Wu Ji's completed the sword. Now, only one more steps are required to be completed, which is the assimilation between the six Beast Cores and the sword.
