278 7.6 Realm Of Mind, Here I Come (2/2)
After a short while, I managed to enter the Realm of Mind. The altar was there and the Shikon no Tama had been handed over to Sango's father before I transmigrated. I squeeze the scene before me and it disappeared. Next, I went to the brick area and I swiped it across. Then I was at the so-called foundry for making the Refined Steel Plates and there are still quite a number of plates uncollected from the last production. This too I swiped it across and came to an empty scene after the essence extraction room.
There, I set up a blade washing grinding stone and running water at the side. I then set up a stool for me to sit while in perform blade washing on this blade of mine. I looked at it and prayed that it would not fail me. This was in fact what the blacksmith commonly termed as a Dull Blade.
The moment the dull blade hits the grinding stone, sparks flew in all directions like it was some kind of sparklers...not fireworks. It is an overstatement if I were to call it fireworks. Hahahahaha.
After half an hour, I was done sharpening both edges of the blade and I had sharpened the tip for stabbing as well. The blade shone with a more vibrant sheen before and it looked sturdier and harder. It would be a tone to test it out tomorrow after I hung some dull foxes and then moved to the normal ones.
I meditated off and returned to the real world. As soon as I was back, a sense of nostalgia crept over me as I remembered the hours spent in the Realm of Mind with Hiko-sama churning out Refined Steel with him and his heavy fireproof gloves. ”Sigh...such memories will always be etched in me.” I sighed inwardly and rubbed the sudden appearance of dampness at the corner of my right eye.
”Alright...there's no point to be sad. They were not even born 700 hundred years later. Concentrate on the task at hand and see what we could do about it.” I saw my short bow and arrows and decided to take a good look at it. The leather quiver held 6 arrows and it had a metal barbed tip. Anyone 'kenna' by this sure is in deep shit. The barbed metal tip of the arrowhead is the killing factor. I wondered how much it would cost to make a few dozen of this.
Worst-case scenario, I design a workshop in the Realm of Mind using the Refined Steel plates to melt down and make into arrowheads, then a wooden workshop to make the shafts and insert the fletching at the back.
”Eeehhhh....why am I so stupid...?!? I've got tons of Refined Steel back there and I could sell it to the Blacksmith for money or trade it with arrows instead. Hahahahaha...why didn't I think of that...?!? My Gosh...lucky i did not crumple the scene away and destroy it...! There must be at least about a few thousand pieces of Refined Steel back there...Hahahhahaa....!!” I slapped myself in the thighs and I laughed out so loud that the elder shouted back to me not be to be crazy like her while talking and laughing to myself....
I ignored her and laughed again loudly and it echoed in the forest and scared the birds who were roosting for the night there.
”All I need to know was the buying price of the Refined Steel Plate and how much the arrows would cost. Definitely, I won't be able to fetch 20 Ryo gold coins each because, in this era, I'm not sure if anyone uses steel at all and production of steel is much more laborious then making cast iron or pig iron due to the carbon content.”

”Going to find out more about it at the marketplace which the elder told me it's a trading district. Well, to the trading district after I settled the cultivation for the fruits and vegetables.” I thought to myself as I kay down near the fireplace and soon fell asleep before thanking Hiko-sama that my wealth did continue after this series.
