Chapter 127: Silver Snow

  Tian Zhu Xi, the residence left behind by the old master of the Wordless Heavenly Book, is shrouded in mystery. Even the Wordless Heavenly Book itself does not know why its old master built such a dwelling, or why it was constructed within this treacherous valley. The only information Tian Zhu Xi has left for Du Fei and the Wordless Heavenly Book concerns some news about the Hao Yuan Holy Armor. This is enough to make even the Wordless Heavenly Book realize that there are many things about its old master's past that it does not know, with some events existing only as formulaic memories implanted by the old master in the Wordless Heavenly Book, or perhaps for other reasons.

  At this time, Du Fei held a tyrannical sky hammer in his hand, his breath was calm and he took several deep breaths. In front of him, on a solid casting platform, lay a huge ore, which was the silver steel iron stone discovered by Du Fei. The Tian Zhuo Brook was originally a special casting stone, which also provided Du Fei with extremely favorable cultivation conditions.

  "Ah!" Du Fei let out a loud roar, his hand suddenly raised, and at this moment, the head of the Ba Tian hammer was already wrapped in flames. Du Fei lifted the Ba Tian hammer and struck down at the silver steel iron stone on the casting platform with a fierce blow, "Clang!" A deafening sound echoed through the casting room. Because of the immense force of the strike, sparks flew out from where the hammerhead met the ore. Du Fei didn't care about the sparks and continued to raise the Ba Tian hammer to strike down at the silver steel iron stone again. "Clang, Clang, Clang..." The continuous sound of hammering echoed through the casting room.

  Now, Du Fei is more relaxed in wielding this thousand-hammered technique, but because the Baxian Hammer is too heavy, Du Fei still can't hammer out much. With a "thud", Du Fei put down the Baxian Hammer on the ground, hunching over and panting heavily. At this time, Du Fei was already drenched in sweat, his upper body, with its robust muscles, looked particularly eye-catching.

  "This ore is really hard, your grandfather's, after dozens of hammering, there is not much change, it is indeed a good material." Du Fei said, looking at the steel iron stone on the casting table. Now Du Fei was not refining silver steel iron stone, but wanted to smash this silver steel iron stone into several pieces. Because the volume of this ore was too large, with Du Fei's current ability, he could only refine the ore and then cast things, which was also a helpless measure. However, after hammering the ore hundreds of times, there was only a slight change in its size, and it was only localized. If it were other materials, they would have been compressed to an astonishing purity after Du Fei's hundreds of hammering, but this steel iron stone was not an ordinary refining material. Du Fei's many hammering had not caused much change to it, which was worthy of the title of rare ore. Du Fei also did not know the rarity of this silver steel iron stone, and the silver steel iron stones that circulated in the market were generally very rare. A large piece of ore like the one in front of Du Fei was basically non-existent, but such a good thing had been encountered by Du Fei.

  "Little one, if you can refine and purify this entire piece of steel, it will be a great help to you." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, how old?" Du Fei hastily asked.

  "You'll know when the time comes, never mind, don't waste words, continue cultivating." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei regained his spirit and lifted the Overlord's Hammer, striking the ore block with great force.

  "This little guy, has been inside the Tian Zhu Brook for several days and still hasn't come out, how long do we have to wait?" The ape was currently floating at the entrance of the cave where Du Fei had entered the Tian Zhu Brook, waiting.

  "Junior brother, has that little demon entered the Tian Zhu Xi?" A figure suddenly appeared beside the ape, and the ape also glanced at the newcomer with an extremely calm gaze. The newcomer was none other than the principal of the Hao Yuan Academy.

  "He went in, but it's been several days now and he still hasn't come out. I'm starting to suspect that this little guy died inside," said the monkey.

  "Haha, young brother, you're underestimating this little guy, aren't you? Why don't you go take a look?" the principal said with a smile.

  "If I could get in, I would have gone in long ago, but the ban is too powerful, even Master can't break through, let alone us. Does this kid really have the Scripture of Blank Heaven?" asked Yuanhui.

  "What do you think, if not, can he enter the Tian Zhu Xi? Let's not worry about other things, just follow Master's arrangement and take good care of this kid." The principal said.

  "I know this." The ape said with its hands clasped behind its back.

  "Come on, kid, there's not much time left." The principal let out a long sigh.

  Perhaps it was smashed for too long, Du Fei was now sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, absorbing the yuanqi to replenish the yuanqi in his body. The silver steel iron stone had finally been smashed by Du Fei into a deep and thick crack, and it wouldn't take long before Du Fei could completely shatter this ore into several pieces. Now, Du Fei was just preparing for this. From the beginning of hammering at the ore to now, three whole days had passed, and the only thing he did during these three days was hammer at the ore and absorb yuanqi, he himself didn't even know how long he had been staying in this Tian Yu valley.

  Du Fei slowly opened his eyes, picked up the nearby Bao Tian hammer, and swung it again. The sound of consecutive hammer strikes echoed, "Ka... Ka... Ka..." The silver steel iron stone was finally smashed into several small pieces by Du Fei. A sense of accomplishment suddenly rose in Du Fei's heart. Du Fei excitedly looked at the numerous large and small ore blocks that had fallen onto the casting platform, filled with joy.

  "Success! Haha...!" Du Fei held up a piece of ore in his hand and burst out laughing.

  "Kid, don't get too excited yet. You've only completed the first step. What's coming next is what truly matters." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Haha, I know, I know." Du Fei nodded and smiled. After finishing speaking, Du Fei put away the extremely fast striking mineral stone and left many small pieces of mineral stone on the casting platform. Because this silver steel iron stone was too hard, Du Fei could only take out the smaller ones to refine and purify first. With each heavy strike of the hammer on the mineral stone, he would get tired and then use his inner energy to recover, and after recovering, he would continue to forge. This striking process was also constantly tempering Du Fei's willpower.

  For casting, Du Fei originally had very good conditions. In terms of materials, Du Fei used rare silver steel iron stone, and with the support of Kuang Long Huo Jian's fire control, Du Fei was also skilled in it. Although Du Fei wasn't very powerful in array techniques, being able to set up a low-level heavenly array at this age was already quite impressive. With Du Fei's persistent tempering, a large kitchen knife took shape on the casting platform, its appearance not much different from Du Fei's original casting knife. The only difference perhaps was that this large kitchen knife looked more beautiful than the original casting knife, still as wide and heavy as before. Maybe only a barbaric weapon suited a barbaric master, and Du Fei belonged to this kind of person.

  The shape of the knife was completed, and this soldier's blade was almost half done. The quality of the knife depends not only on the material but also on the array method arranged on the blade. According to Du Fei's current level of arranging arrays, it is estimated that it will not be much better. After all, Du Fei has not practiced casting techniques for a long time.

  Du Fei stopped hammering the embryo of the knife, put away the Bao Tian Hammer, and took out a few Yuan Beast cores from his hand. He began to set up an array on the knife, Du Fei was now doing his best to set up the array because this time's material was silver steel iron stone, which was particularly hard in terms of texture and could withstand a strong energy group. After setting up several arrays on the blade, Du Fei stood up, his hands forming a series of hand seals, his mouth rapidly flipping through incantations. Finally, Du Fei clasped his hands together and shouted "Seal!" The knife blade on the casting platform suddenly floated in front of Du Fei, shining with a burst of light. Seeing the scene before him, Du Fei couldn't help but smile, reaching out his right hand to grasp the hilt of the knife. A surge of powerful energy instantly transmitted into Du Fei's mind, and this knife was indeed Du Fei's masterpiece, although not a treasured item, it was still something he had hammered out with his own hands, and even if it wasn't the best, Du Fei would still treasure it. Du Fei had also added several mid-tier heavenly arrays to the knife, which was already the limit of his current abilities. The endurance of this silver steel iron stone was not that high, but unfortunately, Du Fei's abilities were limited at present, and he could only set up the array to this extent.

  The gleam slowly faded, a wide and broad kitchen knife was tightly grasped in Du Fei's hand, his entire body was snow white, this was also the original color of steel. Du Fei suddenly jumped to an empty space and danced with the big knife for a few times, "Whoosh..." A hurricane-like sound echoed through the air. Du Fei's face was also filled with excitement as he said: "Haha, good knife, good knife."

  "Right, we need to give it a name. What's good?" Du Fei supported his chin with one hand and thought for a moment. "You look as white and clean as snow, and you're forged from silver steel, so I'll call you (Ci Yinxue), yeah, that's it." After finishing speaking, Du Fei stretched out his index finger, and a flame burst forth from the tip of his finger, landing on the blade and tracing out some characters. In an instant, several words appeared on the surface of the blade - Ci Yinxue.
