From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 59: Quenching, Vice Profession Level Up

Lu Heng finished reading the task details and glanced at Su Muyu next to him, only to find she had no reaction, apparently, she hadn't triggered the quest.

It wasn't surprising because the hidden task was related to quenching skills, naturally only a Quenching Master could trigger it.

Looking at the eager eyes of the Iron Arm Leader, Lu Heng immediately agreed, "Of course there's no problem. However, quenching requires specific quenching materials, which are quite expensive."

The Iron Arm Leader waved towards the door, and two Bansel warriors carried a large iron box in.

When the box was opened, it was filled with colorful stones; at a glance, many were indeed quenching materials.

Lu Heng, seeing this large box of materials, thought about how wealthy the Bansel Tribe was.

However, not all the materials in the box were for quenching.

It seemed that the Bansel Tribe lacked the experience to even distinguish quenching materials.

Lu Heng walked over to the box and began to help them sort the materials, "This piece is Quenching Essence, this piece as well... this piece isn't a quenching material, though it has a small amount of quenching elements, the content is too low to be anything but a stone."

"That makes sense."

The Iron Arm father and daughter came over, watching and listening, nodding frequently, showing a keen interest in learning.

After Lu Heng finished sorting, he pointed to the pile of Quenching Essence and asked, "With so much Quenching Essence, do you plan to do some quenching?"

"Would you be willing to help us?" Mia's eyes suddenly showed hope.

The Iron Arm Leader clenched his fist, his tone a bit frustrated, "When our tribe fought against the Evil God's Servants, our weapons were inferior. If our warriors can use better weapons, we can surely defeat those demons."

"Then I'll perform the quenching for you and teach you the quenching skills as well. Does your tribe still have a Quenching Furnace?" Lu Heng immediately agreed.

"Yes, we've never forgotten the skills passed down by our ancestors, it's just that we no longer have a Quenching Master in our tribe," said Iron Arm, his eyes gleaming.

"Let's start now."

There were only a few days left until the resurrection ceremony of Evil God Barton; time was pressing. Lu Heng decided to perform weapon quenching for the Bansel Tribe and upgrade the Aurora Blade to prepare for the final battle.

...

Stone Hammer Castle's forging area was built above a river of molten lava.

Standing on the platform of the forging area, one could see the molten river slowly flowing below.

Because of the molten river, Stone Hammer Castle remained warm as spring even during snowy seasons.

The Iron Arm Leader gathered all the tribal members who hadn't gone out to the forging area, and they all bowed to Lu Heng:

"Respected Quenching Master, please pass on the quenching skills to us, so that the light of quenching can shine again in Stone Hammer Castle."

Among them, thirty or so Bansel craftsmen at the front were ready to learn the quenching skills.

Lu Heng hadn't expected such a grand gesture; was he suddenly gaining thirty or so Quenching Apprentices?

Afterward, Iron Arm ordered a large box full of quenching materials to be brought out.

Although the large iron box was filled with a lot of quenching materials, once distributed across the entire tribe, the quantity wasn't considered a lot.

After discussing, the Iron Arm Leader decided to perform quenching on the weapons of the thirty most elite warriors of the tribe.

Mia stood in front of the Quenching Furnace and said respectfully, "Quenching Master, I will be your assistant. Please tell me what I should do."

Lu Heng was not nervous, pointed his hand towards the Quenching Furnace in the wall and commanded, "Light the fire, heat the furnace."

The thirty or so Bansel craftsmen crowded around and began to bustle about.

The Quenching Furnace soon lit up.

Lu Heng took a warhammer and started the quenching process, without keeping any secrets, sharing all the quenching experience he could think of with the group of dwarves.

Heating, melting, merging, cooling — a full set of quenching steps.

[Successfully quenched Bansel War Hammer, Bansel War Hammer grade increased to +1]

[Performed quenching work, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +10]

The quenching was successful, maintaining a 100% success rate.

Subsequently, he continued by adding the second Quenching Essence for the second quenching session.

Heating, melting, merging, cooling...

Just during the final cooling step, the Bansel War Hammer emitted a faint glow.

[Successfully quenched the Bansel War Hammer, Bansel War Hammer grade increased to +2]

[Quenching operation, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +10]

Then, he switched to an Iron Plate Crossbow to continue the quenching.

[Quenching operation, quenching failed, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +20]

Indeed, failure is the mother of success.

He finally experienced a failure in quenching, but the vice profession experience gained was even greater.

Lu Heng recalled the quenching process he had just executed and identified the reason for the failure, he noted it silently in his heart to focus more at this step next time.

After several quenching attempts, Lu Heng began to multitask, simultaneously introducing ten portions of Quenching Essence to quench ten weapons.

[Quenching operation, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +10]

[Quenching operation, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +10]

[Quenching operation, quenching failed, Apprentice Quenching Master Professional Experience +20]

The quenching went on for an afternoon, and on the 86th attempt, his quenching experience was full.

[Apprentice Quenching Master experience reached (1000/1000), promoted to Quenching Master.]

[Vice Profession: Quenching Master (10/2000)]

[Vice Profession Skills: Quenching, Spirit Injection]

[Quenching Master: Quenching success rate +20%, Spirit Injection success rate +10%, Flame Resistance +20%]

Finally, his Quenching Master level had upgraded; not only had the quenching success rate increased, but becoming a full Quenching Master also increased the Spirit Injection success rate by 10%.

Lu Heng looked back at the afternoon's outcomes, the thirty Bansel Clan warriors behind him were holding weapons that had been through quenching, with eyes filled with excitement.

These Bansel Clan warriors started to look at Lu Heng with admiration.

After so many quenching processes, the box of quenching materials had almost been used up.

Lu Heng looked at the iron box, only the last piece of Quenching Essence remained.

It was just enough to upgrade the Aurora Blade, and if successful, the quenching level would reach Level 3.

Then, he could attempt a Spirit Injection.

Lu Heng placed the Quenching Essence into the furnace, starting the first step of the process.

After being promoted to a full Quenching Master, his success rate for quenching had increased, making him more adept during the process.

Heating, melting, merging, cooling, all the steps went very smoothly.

[Successfully quenched the Aurora Blade, Aurora Blade grade increased to +3]

[Quenching operation, Quenching Master Professional Experience +10]

[Aurora Blade +3]

[Attribute: Attack Power 60]

The quenching was completed, and the Aurora Blade reached a quenching level of 3.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Heng turned to face the group of Quenching Apprentices he had just gathered, and spoke aloud, "Weapons and equipment that have reached a Quenching Level of 3 can undergo Spirit Injection. Next, I will perform a Spirit Injection operation, everyone pay close attention and learn."

The thirty or so Bansel Clan craftsmen present were visibly invigorated, eagerly anticipating the higher-level Spirit Injection Skill.

The Iron Arm Leader asked puzzledly, "Mr. Quenching Master, we don't have the materials for Spirit Injection."

"I have an item here that we can try."

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Lu Heng then took out the "Barton's Ring."
