Yan Shien was standing by and saw this scene clearly.
The fourth-level fire-based mysterious sword that Xing Chou was tempering was red and extremely hot. The blade was enveloped by a strong fire energy, and even the air was burned by the extremely high temperature into a twisted and separated layer of fire energy.
In the eyes of high-level weapon refiners, this fire and gas separation layer is called the "Fire Gang Barrier".
Under this fire-gang barrier, the weapon refiner's spiritual thoughts cannot deeply probe the mysterious weapon. At this time, only the experience of the weapon refiner and the naked eye can be used to judge whether there is an error in the process of tempering the mysterious weapon.
But with just a pair of naked eyes, how could one tell that the Xuan Bing was flawed and had tiny gaps inside? !
Not to mention fine marks, even if there are larger quality problems, you have to wait for the Xuan Bing to cool down before carefully inspecting it with various means, and then you can possibly detect the problem.
But Ye Fan could actually see the problem when the Xuanbing was extremely hot and under the fire barrier. This proves how terrible his eyesight is.
Moreover, he could condense a large amount of cold energy in an instant, break the fire barrier, and quickly reveal three small flaws in public. This further proves that he is also extremely outstanding in quenching techniques.
Master Yan couldn't help but feel frightened.
The shock in his heart was even worse than that of Xing Chou.
This kind of vision is too terrifying.
If any weapon refiner in the imperial city had such a vision, it would be a rare talent for weapon refinement.
But what makes Yan Shien feel extremely ashamed and angry is that if you want to find fault with Xing Chou, why do you want to bring out his scandal in public and use it as a model for comparison? It is clearly exposing his scars.
"Where did this great master of weapon refining come from? He has such great eyesight!"
"Yes, at such a young age, he has such profound knowledge in weapon refining, even better than Uncle Xing Chou! Even a fourth-level mysterious weapon that is still being tempered can find faults with a pair of naked eyes."
"Shh, keep your voice down! This person is the mysterious weapon-refining king who drove Uncle Yan to a dead end a few months ago and scared him so much that he didn't dare to refine weapons anymore. Stop talking, everyone. Uncle Yan's face is ugly. I'll tell you later. You will be punished by burning the furnace for ten days." The person who spoke had no idea, so he spoke loudest.
"Yes, that's him! This person is so powerful!"
In the area of Cao Mansion's weapon refining workshop, hundreds of low-level weapon refining masters and apprentices gathered around to watch.
They were also extremely surprised, but also very excited.
The Cao Mansion is a thousand-year-old weapon-refining family in the imperial city. There are dozens of weapon-refining kings, and there is even a weapon-refining king, Mr. Cao, sitting in charge. Other weapon refining masters come to compete in the gym. Such a thing is very rare and has not been seen for decades.
This kind of competition between masters in the world of weapon refining makes low-level weapon refining masters like them excited to watch and it is of great benefit.
Xing Chou was stunned by Ye Fan's scolding and his amazing method of identifying flaws, and he didn't react at all for a while.
Yan Shien couldn't help feeling secretly anxious, but he couldn't just watch Ye Fan show off his power in Cao Mansion and "surrender" Xing Chou. Such politeness will not have the effect of hitting Ye Fan.
The situation must be reversed, causing public indignation in the Cao family, and taking the opportunity to teach Ye Fan a lesson.
"Boy, stop talking nonsense!"
Yan Shien's expression straightened up, with the solemnity of the king of weapon refiners, and he said sternly: "This is a mysterious weapon that is still being tempered. It has not been tempered and is a semi-finished product. How can it be treated as a flaw? Besides, it is a semi-finished product. , this hot mysterious weapon is expanding at high temperature. When you suddenly use the cold air to freeze it, it shrinks immediately, and small cracks appear. Isn't it normal! You clearly want to destroy this fire element mysterious weapon, and you framed it in Xing Junior brother! You are simply a scum in the world of weapon refining!"
After suffering a series of heavy blows, although he did not have the courage to refine weapons again, he still had the vicious vision and experience in refining weapons for hundreds of years, and it was easy to find fault with Ye Fan.
This transfer of blame immediately pushed all the problems onto Mark, adding fuel to the fire and censuring him severely.
"Hey, what Uncle Yan said seems to make sense!"
"The unfinished Xuan Weapon is originally a semi-finished product. How can you say that a semi-finished product has flaws?! Flaws are an expression of inferior quality of the finished Xuan Weapon."
"It is also inappropriate to freeze a fire-type mysterious weapon that is still being tempered! It is very easy to damage the mysterious weapon, but it will bring defects to the mysterious weapon!... This is not a flaw in the appraisal, it is a destruction. Get rid of this fire element mysterious weapon!"
"He didn't mean to harm Uncle Xing, did he?"
When Yan Shien said this, the surrounding low-level weapon refiners and apprentices were shocked and started talking, thinking that what Yan Shien said was reasonable.
"Boy, if you don't explain things clearly today, you are framing Junior Brother Xing Chou! Do you think there is no one in my Cao Mansion?!"
Master Yan showed the demeanor of a great master who was not afraid of danger, with a pair of rough and vicissitudes of hands on his back, and looked down on Ye Fan with a hint of contempt in his cold and arrogant eyes.
His explanations, which were repeated at once, not only relieved Xing Chou, but also trapped Ye Fan.
As long as Ye Fan is defeated, it will prove that Ye Fan's weapon refining skills are not good enough. Maybe it could also be used to eliminate the problem of his own incompetence in weapon refining.
Xing Chou frowned and stared at the fire-type mysterious weapon in his hand that had not yet been tempered. Hearing Master Yan's words, he felt confused for a moment.
Ye Fan and Yan Shien are both top weapon refining masters.
Every word is well-founded and not based on nothing.
Even if he is the king of weapon refining, he must think carefully about who is right and who is wrong.
At this time, the other two refining kings in the refining workshop also came over and watched the "discussion" between Ye Fan, Master Yan and Xing Chou in the refining skills.
However, their level of weapon refining is extremely high and their city is deep, so they will not make evaluations easily.
"laugh!"
Ye Fanfeng smiled lightly.
"Why are you laughing! You should hurry up and explain! Why did you use the cold energy to destroy Junior Brother Xing's unfinished Xuan Weapon? And why do you call a semi-finished product a defective product?"
Yan Shien was startled by his smile and felt angry.
Ye Fan ignored him. Instead, he smiled lightly at Xing Chou and the other two weapon refining kings and said, "Master Yan has determined that I am talking nonsense. Could it be that the three weapon refining kings also think that I just used the wrong method?"
"this..."
"I wonder how your Excellency would explain Senior Brother Yan's question? We would like to listen attentively."
Xing Chou and the two weapon refining kings were both shocked. They were either silent and still thinking, or they were afraid and did not dare to express their positions easily.
What Yan Shien said seemed to make sense. In terms of emotion and reason, they should stand by Yan Shien.
But the problem is that Yan Shien is Ye Fan's defeated general. His reputation has long been ruined by Ye Fan, and he has almost lost his confidence in refining weapons.
Ye Fan specially came to Cao Mansion to "kick in" this time. Without any preparation, how could he dare to come and cause trouble?
Yan Shien is a senior weapon refining king, and his previous status was still ahead of the rest of them. It was only after his reputation was ruined that no large-scale Xuanbing Pavilion or Refining Workshop was willing to take him in, that he fell into such a state of desperation that he became the gatekeeper of the Cao Mansion.
They don't want to make Yan Shien's mistake again.
Seeing that none of the three weapon refining kings were willing to answer directly, Ye Fan could only explain himself, "As we all know, the 'fire barrier' produced by the fire-type mysterious weapons that are being tempered at high temperatures will seriously affect the refining process." The weapon master's observation of the mysterious weapon being tempered. Therefore, some weapon masters have developed a technology that specifically breaks the 'Fire Gang Barrier'.
What I just used was a type of ice-type weapon refining technique, the high-level 'Ice Tempering Surface' technique, which is specially used to break the 'Fire Gang Barrier' to facilitate the weapon refiner to observe and master the mysterious weapon at any time during the process of refining the weapon. quality.
The ice quenching technique only covers a very superficial layer of the mysterious weapon and will not freeze the inside of the mysterious weapon. Naturally, it will not damage the quality of the mysterious weapon at all. Even on the contrary, it is expected to increase the hardness and sharpness of the mysterious weapon by up to 20%!
Also, precisely because this is a semi-finished product, I previously suggested that Brother Xing hurry up and make repairs. Otherwise, it will be too late to remedy the situation once the mysterious weapon is formed. Even though the sharpness of this mysterious weapon has been increased by 20% due to the ice quenching technique, the internal fine marks have reduced the durability by at least 20%, so it is still a mediocre item. "
After Ye Fan said these words, everyone was shocked.
"Ice Tempering Technique?"
"How come I haven't heard of it?"
"That's right, I have been refining weapons for decades and have never heard of this!"
"Also, increase the hardness and sharpness of the mysterious weapon by 20%? This is a full 20% high. How can this technology improve the sharpness of the mysterious weapon so outrageously?!"
Xing Chou and the other two weapon refiner kings of Cao Mansion were almost dumbfounded.
None of them had heard of the ice quenching technique that Ye Fan talked about.
Not to mention the surrounding weapon refiners and weapon refiner apprentices, it was as if they were listening to a book from heaven. They are still thousands of miles away from such advanced quenching technology.
Yan Shien looked like he had seen a ghost, and shouted in disbelief: "Nonsense, I have been refining weapons for more than a hundred or two hundred years, how come I haven't heard of this ice quenching technique?"
Ye Fan smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This 'Ice Tempering Face' technique has extremely high requirements. You must be the Ice Martial King and the Weapon Refining King at the same time to achieve it. Very few people meet this condition. Very few. Most of the fire-based martial arts cultivators who become weapon refining masters, and very few ice-based martial arts cultivators will choose the weapon-refining system, so there are relatively few people who know this technique. You are all fire-based martial arts cultivators, and you are not familiar with ice-based martial arts techniques. I don't pay much attention to it. However, ask Mr. Cao, he should know this technique. I have heard people say that Master Yan is ignorant and incompetent, but I have never been sure. After seeing it with my own eyes this time, I really believe it. "
Ye Fan looked at Master Yan with a joking look, shook his head and sighed.
Yan Shien almost spit out another mouthful of old blood.
It is said that he is ignorant and incompetent? !
Who dares to say that his senior weapon refining king is ignorant and incompetent? Only a guy like you who speaks openly dares to say so.
But after what Ye Fan said today, I'm afraid this sentence will spread everywhere. In the weapon refining world of the Imperial City, everyone would hear the "legend" that he was uneducated and incompetent.
"You~! He's so slanderous! Don't believe him, he's just talking nonsense! There's no such thing as ice-tempered noodles, sharpness increased by 20%!"
Master Yan's face turned red and he roared angrily.
Ye Fan no longer wanted to attack the poor Master Yan. He looked at the other two weapon refining kings and their unfinished mysterious weapons with a look of interest.
"Brothers, it seems that the mysterious weapon you have built is about to be completed! Do you want to try the Cold Tempering Face Refining Technique again?"
