He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 248: The Gift is Small but the Feeling is Great (4K Chapter)

Carrying a bunch of monster remains back to the South Blacksmith Camp, Jiang Lin first threw all the useless things into the Hengyu Furnace, which lit up the progress bar by about one thousandth, which was basically better than nothing.

But none of this is important. What's important is that he wants to try whether the remains of the monster combined with pig iron and black crystal iron can withstand the extreme quality.

They lit the furnace and ignited the fire, then threw the scales of the rock-scaled fish into the furnace, melting them into liquid.

Then the molten pig iron and black crystal iron were mixed into the mixture and stirred, and only after it solidified a little did they start hammering.

[The quality of pig iron of average quality is improved by 1%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

……

Amid a series of prompts, the outline of the long sword quickly emerged.

[Perfect quenching, quality increased by 15%]

[Perfectly sharpened blade, quality increased by 15%]

After a series of processes, the long sword was completed.

Jiang Lin picked it up and took a look at it, frowning slightly.

There are tiny cracks on the blade, which don't look very obvious, but as long as they are there, it means it's not good.

Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Lin threw the long knife into the furnace.

Looking at the weapons that were melting quickly and being absorbed by the Hengyu Furnace, Jiang Lin's eyes were filled with contemplation.

Theoretically, as long as the material base is good enough, it can withstand more extreme quality.

But no matter how extreme it is, he is still an ordinary soldier. As his various skills increase, this limit will also be greatly improved.

It's impossible that if the amplification effect is improved, the material grade must also be improved. When will it end?

But the secret recipe of Baobing has not been figured out yet.

Based on Jiang Lin's understanding of this industry, it doesn't seem to be related to materials.

As for his skills… I can’t say that his skills are unmatched in the world, but within a certain range, they are quite amazing.

He didn't believe that the private craftsmen from the powerful clans could be much better than him.

If it’s not the material, and it’s not the craftsmanship, then what else could it be?
Special ratio?

Jiang Lin always had a vague feeling that he seemed to have overlooked something very important!
It's like the spark of inspiration that must be captured among thousands of threads.

If you can catch it, you can unlock the secret of the secret recipe of the treasure weapon.

Just as he was thinking hard, there was a noise outside.

Jiang Lin looked up and saw a group of military officers, led by Liao Mingxu, striding towards him.

Many of them were injured, with bruises on their faces, but they were all smiling.

Jiang Lin hurried out of the blacksmith shop and went forward.

"Brother Jiang!" Liao Mingxu saw him and waved and shouted from afar.

Jiang Lin ran over and looked at Liao Mingxu, whose hair was a little messy, whose armor was crooked, and who had some footprints on his face. He asked in surprise, "Where did you come from, Brother Liao? How did you get into this state?"

"Nothing, I just had a fight at the Ministry of War." Liao Mingxu said lightly, then laughed and shouted, "Brothers, bring the things over here!"

Song Tianjiu, Xu Fenglei and others carried several boxes to the front and opened them.

Jiang Lin looked down and saw that the first box was full of gold and silver. A rough estimate showed that there were at least hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver.

The second box was filled with various materials, all of which were of higher quality than black crystal iron.

Liao Mingxu said with a smile: "Those old guys in the Ministry of War couldn't find a good blacksmith to forge iron, so they hid these things. I didn't bother to be polite with them, I just took them and gave them to you, brother!"

Jiang Lin looked at the stains on his body again. Liao Mingxu said that they were taken, but even a fool knew that his so-called fight was not as simple as a street fight.

And go to the Ministry of War to fight?
“Brother, you guys…”

Liao Mingxu didn't let Jiang Lin continue asking. He pulled him to the third box and said, "There are all kinds of exotic woods in here. I don't know if you can use them. But there are two things that you will definitely like!"

As he spoke, Liao Mingxu took out a two-meter-long piece of wood from the box and said with a little complacency, "This wood is called Nine-bend Divine Marrow Wood. It grows one meter every hundred years. It would take at least a thousand years to grow to this length! It is hard and tough, look."

Liao Mingxu stretched out his hand and tried to bend the Nine-bend Divine Essence Wood, but with his strength, he could only bend it slightly.

"This is a treasure that the old fellow, the Minister of War, has kept privately. He can't shoot arrows, but he's still reluctant to take it out. It's really worthless!"

Jiang Lin looked at the Nine-bend Divine Marrow Wood and his eyes lit up slightly. This was a good thing for making bows and arrows!

"anything else!"

Liao Mingxu threw the Nine-bend Divine Essence Wood to Jiang Lin, then bent down and rummaged through the box.

Jiang Lin took the opportunity to bend it with force. The increase in strength brought by the eighth level of Yuanwu Realm allowed him to bend the strange wood easily, but he could also feel the huge rebound force contained in it.

Such a treasure is estimated to be worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels, or even more!

At this time, Liao Mingxu had found what he was looking for.

He brought it to Jiang Lin as if offering a treasure, and said, "This is the tendon of a fourth-grade demon ape monster. It's very tough. You try it."

Jiang Lin took it and pulled it hard. It really took a lot of effort.

Liao Mingxu grinned and said, "I'm afraid that the eight-stone strong bow I had before is no longer worthy of you. These two things can be used to make a better bow!"

Jiang Lin held the Nine-bend Divine Marrow Wood in one hand and the tendons of a fourth-grade demon ape monster in the other. He looked up at Liao Mingxu, and then at the injured military officers behind him.

Everyone seemed a little embarrassed by his gaze, especially Song Tianjiu, who covered his bruised left face and laughed dryly, "I was ambushed. It's not that I couldn't fight back, but that bastard was more seriously injured than me. He will have to lie in bed for at least ten or twenty days."

Jiang Lin only felt that the thing in his hand was heavy, just like his own mood.

"Brother Liao..."

Liao Mingxu raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and said, "Your story is over. From now on, the Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry, and you are you, okay?"

He speaks quickly and without much nonsense.

Jiang Lin looked at the pair of eyes full of sincerity and expectation, smiled after a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay!"

Liao Mingxu laughed loudly, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay! Work hard in the Ministry of Works in the future, and it would be best if you can become a minister, so that the brothers can have more face! No more, no more, this trip has wasted a lot of time, we must hurry back, otherwise those little bastards will rebel!"

Cai Yanting came forward and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Work hard, we will still be brothers in the future."

Song Tianjiu then stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Lin, saying, "Master Jiang, when you become successful in the future, don't forget your brothers."

Next came Xu Fenglei, Han Shichuan...

A group of military officers came up one by one, talking and joking with Jiang Lin, and some of them stood there and winked at him in a funny way.

After greeting everyone, Liao Mingxu waved his hand and the troops returned to the camp as if they had returned victoriously.

Seeing that they were obviously injured but didn't care at all and were still laughing as if they were very happy, Jiang Lin was not a wooden man, so he understood what this meant.

The Ministry of War is the highest command of the army. Liao Mingxu and others running to fight is no different from ordinary people kicking a tiger in the butt.

No matter how crazy the border troops are, they still know their limits.

If they do something but lose their sense of propriety, it means that the person who needs them to do this thing is far more important than the so-called sense of propriety!
Jiang Lin was previously asked to make high-quality weapons for all members of the Nanling camp, and he did so with the intention of showing goodwill, not wanting to ruin their relationship.

But he didn't expect that Liao Mingxu would send such a big gift right away. Not to mention the silver and materials, the Nine-bend Divine Essence Wood and the tendons of the fourth-grade demon ape monster alone were priceless.

Was it really just a simple fight between them in the Ministry of War?

"Master Wei, we're back." Liao Mingxu and others greeted him.

Jiang Lin saw Old Man Wei standing at the camp gate, waving his hand to greet many military officers.

Looking at the elderly figure, Jiang Lin couldn't help but recall that Old Man Wei was also wearing a tattered suit of armor. He went out silently but didn't intend to tell Jiang Lin what he had done.

I thought that Old Man Wei was concerned about his self-esteem and didn't want to say it out loud to take credit.

But now it seems that Liao Mingxu and others are also the same.

It seems like these border troops don't care about merit at all.

They only care about what they do and whether they can achieve their goals.

Or... could it benefit the people you care about?

If they could, they would dare to draw their swords and chop down even the king of heaven.

Jiang Lin took a breath in slowly, then slowly exhaled.

These three boxes of gifts were "taken" from the Ministry of War by Liao Mingxu and his team. They were also the rope that made it impossible for Jiang Lin to sever this connection.

Looking at those military officers who spoke roughly but did things in a very reassuring way, Jiang Lin clenched the thing in his hand slightly.

After a moment, he walked into the shop and said solemnly to the elite blacksmiths: "From now on, all weapons in the Nanling camp will be made of iron made by me."

The elite blacksmiths were all a little confused. What did this mean?
Is there something wrong with the weapons they made?

Qi the blacksmith also came over and asked, "Master Jiang, why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the weapons they made?"

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "No problem, I just want to improve the quality of the weapons in the Nanling camp."

Blacksmith Qi was stunned. Aren’t the weapons of all the staff of high quality enough?
"Master Jiang, what do you mean... to what extent do you want to improve it?"

Jiang Lin said calmly: "At least fourth grade."

Blacksmith Qi was a little dumbfounded. At least fourth grade?

This requirement is not difficult. If the elite blacksmiths only use the iron burned by Jiang Lin, they are fully capable of forging weapons of the fourth grade.

but……

"Master Jiang, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Nanling camp."

Jiang Lin glanced over and saw that Qi the Blacksmith seemed to understand something. He bowed his head and said, "Okay, let's do as Lord Jiang said."

So what if there are nearly ten thousand? Even if there are one hundred thousand or one million, Jiang Lin will fight!

Naturally, he had to return the gift that Liao Mingxu had given him.

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

Jiang Lin was always the original idea. Regardless of whether he was capable or not, at least he had to do what he should and could do.

The closer someone is to you, the more benefits they deserve!
So from that day on, almost all weapons made by elite blacksmiths were made of pig iron burned by Jiang Lin.

Thanks to the effect of level 9 mastery, Jiang Lin's fire-making efficiency has now increased by %.

In the past, he could burn more than ten pieces of pig iron at a time, but now he can burn fifty pieces at a time without any problem!

If the elite blacksmith team had not been further expanded, it would have been difficult to use up all the pig iron.

With such terrifying fire-burning efficiency, the number of fourth-grade weapons produced by the Nanling Camp every day directly exceeded 500 pieces!

All in all, it would only take twenty days to replace the weapons of all the people in the Nanling camp.

Jiang Lin did not inform Liao Mingxu of the news in advance, intending to keep it as a surprise and send it to him all at once after all the weapons were made.

If there is still time later, he will ask people to make some higher-quality armor to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Nanling camp as much as possible.

For the people in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, the fourth-grade weapons that were rarely seen before have gradually become commonplace, with hundreds of them being forged every day.

Some people even had a feeling that the Nanling camp was supposed to produce weapons of this level.

It would be very strange if one day I could only forge low-grade weapons.

Of course, making weapons cannot be accomplished overnight.

While burning pig iron, Jiang Lin did not neglect his own improvement.

He did not immediately count what Liao Mingxu had sent, but instead planned to get the new bow first.

The quality of the Nine-bend Divine Essence Wood itself is high enough, and only the appearance needs to be trimmed.

This thing is extremely hard and ordinary top-grade weapons cannot cut it at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin had quite a few weapons with a sharpness of +4, which were comparable to real precious weapons, so he managed to complete the shaping.

However, considering the fire-making skills and the amplifying effect of the Hengyu Furnace, Jiang Lin still threw the Nine-bend Divine Marrow Wood and the tendons of the fourth-grade magic ape monster into it, lowering the fire temperature for roasting.

The quality of these two materials means that ordinary fireworks cannot cause any damage to them.

But whether the temperature is high or low, the quality improvement still exists.

[Wood of acceptable quality, material quality increased by 15%]

[Good quality animal tendons, material quality increased by 15%]

[Wood of acceptable quality, material quality increased by 40%]

[Good quality animal tendons, material quality increased by 40%]

……

Level 9 furnace perfection can improve the quality of materials by % itself, Hengyu furnace can improve it by %, and the furnace baking method can increase the effect by %.

After a series of additions, when these two things were taken out of the furnace, great changes had already taken place.

The Nine-bend Divine Essence Wood was originally crooked, but now its shape has become perfect. It seems that as its quality has improved, it has understood Jiang Lin's thoughts and has improved itself towards the shape of a bow.

Beneath its surface, you can clearly see a faint flash of light, as if there is golden magma flowing inside.

Jiang Lin took a look and saw that the evaluation had changed.

[Good quality wood]

To be able to receive such an evaluation, it already possesses a level close to that of a spiritual weapon.

Jiang Lin nodded with satisfaction and looked at the tendon of the demon ape beast again.

The originally black animal tendons have now become crystal clear, as if they had been washed by some mysterious power, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Not only has there been a qualitative leap in gloss, but the toughness and strength also seem to have reached an unprecedented level.

With a light touch, you can feel the tremendous power contained in it, as if it can burst out with amazing energy at any time.
