Gate of Immortality

Chapter 162: This technique is trash?

Shi Kun stepped forward and placed his hands on the measuring stone. The stone emitted pale orange light as it became slightly deep orange. Then it stopped emitting light. Yang Shi's eyes frowned as he looked at the slightly deep orange color. " The hell? It's the lowest quality of flame." Yang Shi muttered. Shi Kun already knew about his flame power so he just laughed with embarrassment. Then Xin Rou went and his performance was quite better than Shi Kun. As for Li Gong, his performance was the best among the six. But Yang Shi shook his head with disappointment.

" All of them can emit only orange light. The orange light is the weakest. The golden light was the strongest flame power, followed by White, Red, and Orange. I thought there would be at least someone with the strength of red color." Yang Shi muttered. " You guys should know your flame power is weak right? I mean, why is this weak?" YangShi asked in contempt. " Answering to the teacher, we only practice low class fire controlling technique, so our flame power oi weak." Li Gong said. " Low class? Tell me what technique you cultivate?" Yang Shi asked.

" I cultivate Red Cloud Fire Arts."

" Flaming python Art."

" Three Mantra of Forging."

Yang Shi heard as he recalled these techniques. He had memorized most of the techniques of the Golden Fire Tower library, so he knew about these techniques. " Rather than cultivating these, Why don't you cultivate- Fundamental of Golden Fire Art?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. Golden Fire Art is the most basic technique of Golden Fire Tower, but what made Yang Shi amazed that it matched with his Great Yang Solar Flame arts very much. If Great Yang Solar Flame Art is a pavilion, then Fundamentals of Golden Fire art is the foundation of it.

" Hmm, Could it be Uncle Bao is from Golden Fire Tower?" Yang  Shi wondered about the old man who gave him the Great Yang Solar Flame Art. Hearing The Fundamental of Golden Fire from YangShi, the six disciples looked at Yang Shi with bewilderment.

" What? You never heard of the technique?" yang Shi asked in surprise. " No, It's not that." Shi Kun let out a forced smile, " It's just that- It's the basic technique of Golden Fire Tower. It was given free to all the disciples, but no one practices it. Its efficiency is very low."

YangShi became speechless, but he thought over it. Right, Why would they practice the most basic thing, when you can get better techniques from the library? People never care about the thing which is given free, it's a very phycological thing. " I can understand, but is it really just a low Yellow grade technique?" Yang Shi asked. Looking at the technique, Yang Shi felt it was enough to be a Purple grade technique. " It was indeed a low Yellow grade technique. No, it wasn't even worthy to be a Yellow grade technique." Xin Rou spat.

" I have tried it before, and it was trash. Not even the weakest disciple use it." Someone else echoed. " Bring me the scroll of Fundamental of Golden Fire." Yang Shi asked sternly. " I have it." A disciple named Gao Yan said as he gave it to Yang Shi. Yang Shi read it and said, " You guys think this is a trash technique, don't you? But what if I tell, It can even outclass any Purple grade technique and make you a Master grade blacksmith within a year?" Yang Shi sighed. " Master grade Blacksmith?!!!" Everyone breathed a mouthful of cold air.

All of them felt it was nonsense. This basic technique can help them to reach Master grade blacksmith within a year? No matter how they thought. it seemed impossible. " It's not impossible. But let me conduct other tests for you. The second thing I am going to test is your knowledge about blacksmithing and its ingredients." Yang Shi said. " Don't worry, What I will ask will be only limited to apprentice class knowledge." Yang Shi waved his hands.

" First question- What's the best material to mix with Deep earth copper?

" Second question- How much Black steel sand is required to sharpen a one meter longsword?

" Third question- After how much time, You will mix Purple crystal billet with Ash white bronze?"

...............................................

" And the tenth question- What's the best liquid to quench weapon made from Crimson Iron ore?

Yang Shi only gave ten questions to them. But he had to be disappointed. Only Xin Rou managed to answer four of them. And even in that, Yang Shi wasn't satisfied with two of them. Rest of the youngsters hardly able to answer one or two questions. " Blacksmithing is just like alchemy. They use herbs to make pills, We use ores to make weapons. If can't even understand the composition of ores, you should stop studying blacksmithing." Yang Shi sighed. "The last test, I am giving you a hundred kg metal block. Carry it and do a hundred push-ups and twenty laps around the hall." Yang Shi said as he took out a block of Cold Iron.

The disciples gritted their teeth as they did what Yang Shi said. Fortunately, This time, half of them managed to do properly what Yang Shi asked, albeit barely. And three of them failed, although they weren't too far off. " Finally, You guys aren't complete trash." Yang Shi sighed in relief. Then he looked at their panting figures and chuckled, " Well, from now on, I am in charge of you guys. You guys have to prove it- You are not trash!" Yang Shi said coldly. " YES!" They shouted in a union. Yang Shi took out a pen and paper as he wrote something in it.

" Take this- This is the Fundamental of Golden Fire technique. Practice strictly according to this. And you, each of you takes 50 credit points and buy Soaring Flame Pills. Use that pill while cultivating Fundamentals of Golden Fire. It will increase your efficiency." Yang Shi instructed. They were unwilling at first, but when they heard Yang Shi giving them 50 credit points, they became happy. " Be on time tomorrow. Now, disperse!" Yang Shi asked them to go.

" Ugh, I am so tired. But, I can't rest now." Yang Shi stretched his body as he took out his forging table. " Finally, Time to forge them." Yang S hi's eyes became sharp as he took out all the corpses of Demonic beasts from his spatial ring. Then, he cut them skillfully and draw out their blood. It was enough to fill four large buckets. Then Yang Shi began to boil them as he made the concentration of blood thicker. He used his Spirit Flame to refine the blood of Demonic beasts and gather their essence. After half an hour, Yang Shi managed to reduce it to half a bucket of blood. One can feel the richness and vitality of the blood essence. But it wasn't for cultivation purposes. Yang Shi then opened a black bottle and poured something in the blood essence.

Yang Shi ignited his forging furnace and threw various rare ores and metals in it. These are all the things he got from Feng Xiao. The ores melted as Yang Shi increased the temperature. It slowly became like a multicolored magma, emitting brilliance. Yang Shi nodded in satisfaction as he threw a charge chunk of Glazed Spirit Platinum, which he got from the Eastern Valley Town, from the metal vein.

The ores slowly converged as they became solid. Yang Shi took out the billet and with the help of his hammer, he separated it into two pieces. With a humph, he began to hammer them simultaneously. If one wasn't observant, They would feel Yang Shi was using two hammers at the same time. With careful notice, One can also see that the amount of hammering received by the two billets is completely the same. The billet slowly took shape of daggers, perfectly one chi in length.(One chi= 33.33cm.)

Yang Shi with a deep breath, focused on his Celestial View as he drew Spirit diagrams on them.

One, two, three.....Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, the spirit diagrams increased in number, After drawing the fourteenth diagram, Yang Shi felt dizzy. Spirit diagram not only consumes Spiritual qi but also mental concentration. Moreover, Yang Shi was drawing Spirit diagrams on both daggers at the same time. So the burden over him was even greater.

" No, I can't stop here." Yang Shi greeted his teeth as continued to draw. Finally, he completed the set of Spirit diagrams. The Spirit diagram lit up as Yang Shi hurriedly quenched them in the blood essence. Then Yang Shi took them out and sat on the ground.

" Hahaha, I did it. Drawing a Twin soul lightning diagram is hard as hell." Yang Shi muttered. This diagram was made for dual-wielding weapons, increasing their strength and efficiency.

Yang Shi looked at the daggers lying on the forging table as he wiped his sweat. It looked like a butterfly, with crimson wings giving off a sinister vibe. One can see faint traces of green shade on the edges. Yang Shi held one dagger in each of his hands as he slashed out.

*SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH* The air whistled as Yang Shi's arms became a blur. Yang Shi had only two words in his mind- Fast and Deadly. " Let this be called- Crimson Dusk Daggers!" Yang Shi laughed out.
