Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

it into a long rectangular shape, like a ruler,” Godslayer said.

Alex nodded and did as he was told.
The molten metal transformed into his Dao of Metal until it was the shape he wanted it to be.

“Now, hammer it until it is tempered,” Godslayer said.

Alex didn’t need any more explanation as he started doing exactly what he was told.
He enforced both the hammer and anvil with his Qi, made sure to never let heat permeate into them, and started whacking away.

Slow and Steady, that was the way to temper metal, and that was exactly what Alex did.
He hit the thin strip of metal with a rhythmic blow and continued for a while.

Godslayer watched his every move to make sure he didn’t do anything wrong.

After a while, Alex stopped when he heard a ringing sound come from the metal, letting him know it was fully tempered.

“Good,” Godslayer spoke.
“Now, are you making a longsword? There’s not enough for a greatsword.”

Alex thought of what he wanted and there was only a single choice in his heart.
“I know the shape I want to go with, and there’s double the metal required here.”

“Good, then you can just compound the metal,” Godslayer said.
“Heat up the metal again, and start shaping the sword.
Use your Dao of metal.”

Alex nodded and began.
With the constant supply of his heat, it wasn’t hard to quickly bring the softened metal into shape.
At the same time, he was compounding the metal too, compressing the metal until it had a volume half it’s current size.

After the volume of the metal was half, Alex finally began putting in Qi lines.

He was still shaping up the metal so there was enough time for him to do so.
He formed normal Qi lines as there was not much else he could make.

“Use your Dao of Metal to continue from here,” Godslayer said.
“You don’t have any other metal dao, do you?”

“Uhh… Dao of Cutting doesn’t count right?” Alex asked.

“No, but Sharpness does,” Godslayer said.
“If you don’t have anything else, then you will have a slightly tougher time with putting the finishing touches.”

Alex nodded.
He continued with the finer details of the shaping of the sword and added as sharp an edge as he could without the Dao of Sharpness.

Thankfully, Alex had the Dao of Cutting, so he wouldn’t have to worry about the sword is not to sharp.
Besides, it wasn’t like this was going to be the sword he was going to use forever.

After a few more minutes of working on it, Alex finally finished.
He immediately took away the heat from the blade and looked at it with a surprised look on his face.

“That’s quite good,” he said when he saw the blade.

“It’s alright,” Godslayer said.
“You can make better ones with more metals.
It will be easier if you have more dao too, and a better facility to work under.”

“I’m a hostage at the moment.
Having this much freedom is already heaven-sent for me,” Alex said as he looked at the blade in his hand.

The dark-gray metal with a glittering surface made it look like it was embedded with tiny gems all over it.
It looked beautiful, but what made Alex happier about the sword was its shape.

It was the exact same sword that he had lost when killing his master’s murderer.
The steel sword had been something he had refined a lot and liked using, and now he had the same shape again.

“How’s the sharpness?” Godslayer asked.

Alex tried to cut his own skin to try.
“Eh, it’s good, I guess.
Could be better, but I can’t complain,” he said.
“So, do you think I can make a cauldron now? Am I good enough?”

“Hmm… no,” Godslayer said.
“You need to learn a lot more before you can make something like a Cauldron with the tools you have.”

“Since you seem to have enough metal, the first thing you are going to have to make next are a large hammer and anvil for easier tempering.”
