Not long after, Tang Huan found five low grade gems from the old blacksmith's room.


Amongst them were inkstones that were as black as ink, flame-red fire clouds stones that were as red as fire, colourful golden red stones, crescent moon-shaped shadow moon stones, and purple-colored lightning-like thunder stones.


Each rock contained a different amount of power. After fusing them with a weapon, the effects would also be different.


Tang Huan only pondered for a moment before deciding on the Flaming Cloud Stone.


If the Flamecloud gem fused with the weapon, the weapon would emit a scorching heat.


If activated with Innate Qi that contained True Fire power, the weapon's heat could be increased by a lot. Unfortunately, other than the "Nine Style Wandering Dragons", Tang Huan did not have any other battle skill that could match this type of weapon.


Amongst the five low-grade gems, the most effective one was the Thunder Light Stone, followed by the Golden Red Stone, and then the Shadow Moon Stone. The Fire Cloud Stone was only ranked fourth, only slightly stronger than the Ink Spirit Stone.


But even so, the Flamecloud gem was currently Tang Huan's most suitable choice.


If it was a weapon that was fused with Flamecloud gems, then it would have an increased effect. However, if it was a weapon that was fused with other gems, then it would need to practice a corresponding battle skill. Otherwise, low level weapons would at most be stronger in terms of material, and would not be able to display much more power than normal weapons.

For a good weapon, one must have a matching battle skill in order to display its greatest power.


While thinking, Tang Huan had already brought the gem to the shop in front.


Since the "Nine Techniques of the Wandering Dragon" was a sword technique, one naturally had to forge a sword in order to do so. Before using the Fire Cloud Stone, Tang Huan decided to use a gem to practice.


The fusion of a true flame depended on a strong will and the endurance of the body. If it failed, at least the spirit vein would be damaged, and at worst, the soul would be destroyed.


Forging a graded weapon also had a chance of failure. Furthermore, the chances of failure were not small.


The higher the grade of the weapon, the more precious the material used. If the weapon failed, the losses would be even more severe.


If you added them up, the materials needed to forge a weapon would be hundreds of millions of gold coins. If you failed, you would probably forge a low-grade weapon that was only worth a few hundred gold coins. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"



If an ordinary weapon was not forged well and it could be reforged again, if the grade of the weapon failed, then it would truly fail.


According to what was said in his previous life, during the process of fusing with a gem, the molecular structure of the weapon had already undergone a miraculous change. If he were to forge it again, it would be no different from scrap metal.


Tang Huan had a deep understanding of this point.


When he was at the "Divine Armament Hall" Artifact Storage Hall, when he used his True Fire to burn the sword billets to a certain extent, he discovered that countless tiny holes had appeared on the sword billets, just like the pores on a human body.


If the fire was too strong, the material of the weapon would be damaged.


When those holes were expanded to their limits, he had to daub the gemstone sap onto them at lightning speed, allowing the sap to seep into those holes. Just penetrating them was not enough, as they had to be completely fused with the material of the weapon. This process required a tacit understanding between true qi and true fire.


That day during the second round of the examination, Tang Huan performed very well.


However, if he allowed Tang Huan to repeat himself, he wasn't confident that he would be able to do it to such a degree.


The key to forging a graded weapon was to forge the weapon blank to the point where it didn't contain any impurities. The second was to melt the gem home, and the third was to take advantage of the time the gem was applied to the tool slab.


Fourth, during the process of fusing the tool slab with the gemstone juice, he had to combine his Zhen Qi with the primordial flames.


Moreover, this type of coordination didn't have any fixed techniques or techniques. Different weapons, different gems, and different methods used to coordinate them were all the same. This was also true for weapons that fused with similar gems.


Finally, the quenching liquid should be suitable, and the quenching time should be seized.


As long as he failed in one of these areas, the quality of the weapon would be reduced, and even the forging of the weapon would fail.


Moreover, this was only the simplest method of forging.


Some of the more skilled refiners were said to not have smeared the gemstone juice on the weapon, but rather to have left grooves in the weapon, after it had been refined and reformed, and then finally to have embedded it into the blank. It was said that this kind of weapon could constantly improve the quality of the weapon.



Tang Huan had only heard the old blacksmith mention this method before, he had never seen this kind of weapon before.


"Let's try forging a long rod with the Ink Spirit Stones first."


Tang Huan quickly calculated in his heart. Some gems were suitable for all types of weapons, but some gems were suitable for spear forging, while some gems were suitable for swords. On the other hand, "Thunder Light Stone" was suitable for the majority of weapons.


Since he had made his decision, Tang Huan started to take action immediately.


Inside the blacksmith shop, clanging sounds quickly came out. The young man's tools, forging ordinary weapons and forging low grade weapons were insufficient, Tang Huan had to forge them again. When forging, he had to use the power of True Fire to completely remove the impurities in the tools.


"Bam!"


Noon, the blacksmith shop that was quiet for a while suddenly let out a loud noise.


Tang Huan's face was pitch black, while the pitch black rod in front of him was emitting black smoke nonstop. The pole's body was covered with countless cracks, densely packed like a spider web.


"I failed."


After a long while, Tang Huan dispiritedly picked up the long rod. With just a light shake, the rod that was filled with cracks turned into countless pieces of varying sizes, falling onto the ground.


He had originally thought that the value of the "Ink Spirit Stone" was the lowest. Even if it failed, the loss wouldn't be too great.


However, he did not expect that he would actually fail in the end, and the reason for that failure was quite laughable. It was because he had smeared the ink stone juice too long ago. Before he could finish applying the medicine, the dense and tiny holes on the rod had already been burnt to the limit by the True Fire.


It was only until he failed that Tang Huan finally realized that he was forging a rod, not a sword.


The length of the staff was several times that of the sword, and the time it took to apply the gemstone juice was also much longer. Naturally, the time it took to apply it was different from when it was used to forge the sword.


"Fifty gold coins gone!"


muttered bitterly. His losses were not big, but in comparison, even the cheapest 'Ink Spirit Stone' would require 50 gold coins to purchase.


"Dammit, let's do it again. This time, I'm going to use the 'Moonstone' to forge the sword!"


"..."
