Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

The sword-forging method of Teyvat is naturally different from what Jiang Yi knew before he traveled through time.

Especially the three-star and four-star quality weapons. They are not forged with weapons, but stories, beliefs, legends, myths...

A yellowed atlas page was slowly unfolded, filled with words, patterns, and symbols, full of ancient meaning passed down for thousands of years.

Old Zhang looked at the sword-forging steps above and made deductions and changes.

When forging a sword, the collected materials and sword blanks are different, and the process and sequence of forging the sword will change accordingly depending on the situation.

The sword blank that Jiang Yi sent had the power of wind and rock, and had a good compatibility with the forging diagram of "Prototype Rock Cutting", so he didn't need to make too many changes.

The sword embryo was placed into the sword furnace. Lao Zhang set up the altar, put the offerings on it, and inserted nine incense sticks on the triangular round tripod to ask the ancestor for permission to open the furnace and forge the sword.

"The atlas of the trial work was drawn by Yun Hui, the chief innkeeper of the ancient Liyue forging family Yun, and the famous craftsman Han Wu, who visited mountains and walked on water, gathering the skills of thousands of craftsmen."

"It is the original of the thousand-year-old Liyue sword!"

Old Zhang told Jiang Yi about history and also gave reason to the sword.

"The first one-handed sword made according to the diagram, it made a rumbling sound as soon as it was formed."

"One sword moves mountains and rivers, and thousands of edges are hidden in the blade."

"When Yu Tianhengshan was testing his sword, it fell to the ground and the sword energy came out like a rolling hurricane, splitting the rock into a crack more than half a foot long."

"Cutting the rock is like cutting water, so this diagram is named [Cutting the Rock] by heaven."

"After that, when the sword was formed, it no longer had the same power."

Old Zhang looked regretful and determined, "The sword of your honored guest will surely defeat the original one."

“Today, I will use this map, which is not the original but is full of ancient charm, to offer a sacrifice to the sword!”

After he finished speaking, he threw the atlas into the sword furnace.

The invisible faith turns into an invisible flame, which ignites the sword-forging fire of civilization in the dark.

"Please ask the Hanfeng lineage, the ancestors of all generations, to help me with this!"

Old Zhang bowed and kowtowed to all four directions.

The sound of thousands of huge hammers hitting sword blanks suddenly rang out.

Jiang Yi tried every possible means to sense, but could not sense the existence of the soul.

“What’s that sound?” He looked at the diagram burning under the sword embryo. The diagram was extraordinary, carrying part of Liyue’s sword luck, and was equivalent to a holy relic.

Although it is not any kind of thing in the theory of life and death and time and space, the power that erupts at the moment of one-time destruction is mysterious and brilliant.

The sword embryo vibrated, and visible cracks appeared on the marble-textured shell.

The power of wind and rock gathered at the deepest part of the sword.

The divine fire burned, the sword blank turned red, and part of the blade began to melt, flowing like magma, neither dripping nor splashing.

Pieces of rare minerals born from the earth veins were poured into the sword furnace, melted into a white-hot energy flow that was poured onto the sword embryo. The sword embryo absorbed the energy to repair the cracks and transform the sword body.

"Please take the sword!" Old Zhang said to Jiang Yi. Ordinary sword embryos would naturally be clamped out with an iron clamp, but this proud sword embryo that has not yet been forged to recognize its master, naturally cannot be so slack.

Jiang Yi glanced at the various sword-forging tools beside him, and finally released a stream of true Qi, which kept wrapping around him and pulling the extremely hot sword blank out of the furnace.

Old Zhang asked him to put it down, took out the Tiangong Hammer and started hitting it.

"Dang!" There was a loud noise, like a hammer hitting a rock.

The wind spread the fire, which suddenly surged out from the sword blank, scaring the apprentices who already had a lot of sword-forging experience and making them retreat one after another.

On the sword embryo, the power gathered from the flames of the diagram transformed into thousands of prototypes that could cut through the rocks.

Tiny pieces of impurities fell down and burned into ashes in the high temperature.

As the past and present blend together, an inexplicable aura appears on Old Zhang's body, vicissitudes and ancient, as if he is possessed by countless ancestors.

The spreading wind and fire were blocked by the power of the holy relics on his body.

Jiang Yi realized that this was a set of holy relics that he had never seen before and belonged exclusively to the blacksmith.

Hammer after hammer, the storm raged, the sea of ​​fire rolled, and the apprentices kept retreating, feeling that the hair on their bodies was burning.

Old Zhang was so focused on forging swords that he paid no attention to the danger to his apprentices.

The power of this sword embryo that was refined in advance is so terrifying, and the overflowing force is completely incomparable to those previous sword embryos.

Jiang Yi spread his true energy to protect his apprentice.

The apprentices looked at this power that did not belong to the seven elements of Teyvat with curiosity, suppressed the idea of ​​exploring, and quickly moved more ice from the cellar and threw it into the Seven Star Well inside the house, forming seven cold pools.

Old Zhang knocked the sword countless times, signaling Jiang Yi to put the red and burning sword embryo into the cold pond.

With a sizzling sound, thick white smoke rose up, and the water in the first cold pond evaporated three feet away, visible to the naked eye.

But soon water gurgled out from below, gushing upwards, restoring the water level.

Jiang Yi originally wanted to try whether his North Wind Cold Jade could replace the ice in the cellar, but Lao Zhang refused. Some things are judged by suitability, not by strength or quality.

Using too much high-grade and cold ice to quench is as bad as too little.

As the days passed, Lao Zhang repeated the process of refining, hammering and quenching the sword blank, gradually unlocking the experiences and legendary stories of the sword master on the sword, and refining them into the power of the sword.

His body became more and more haggard, his spirit became more and more depressed, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Jiang Yi was assisting on the side and took out some energy potions to give to Old Zhang so that he could take a short break during the refining and quenching of the sword embryo.

Seeing that every hammer strike consumed his energy, he was afraid that the swordsmith would sacrifice himself halfway through.

"Originally, this sword blank needed to have more stories added to match its quality, but your experience can become the story template for a four-star weapon. Observing a sword is like observing a person. This sword will be unique."

Old Zhang smiled happily as he watched the natural patterns begin to form on the sword.

"You can cut your palm and add your own blood, which is full of strength and faith, to the sword during the forging process, so that the sword will be more compatible with the body and soul after it is formed. Once completed, the man and the sword will become one."

"The principle of the sword is born from cutting the rock, and the thought of the sword is born from the sword master."

"I saw Mondstadt's desire to protect. The edge is for protection, but isn't my Liyue sword the same?"

"The sword is made by nature, with the right time, right place and right people."

"Forging this sword from now on does not have to follow the ancient method!"

Lao Zhang felt that through sword forging, his skills had reached a new level.

Today's Liyue sword forging method is much more powerful than before. He has taken the ancient ideas as the foundation, and now uses modern ideas to add a sense of enterprising spirit.

Their descendants were unable to surpass their ancestors, and the Rock-Chopping Swords they forged no longer had the power of the first one. Perhaps what they lacked was the pioneering spirit.

He did not have the ability to create the origin of a country's swords, but he could still forge a special growth weapon for this guest.
