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

Chapter 262 Baose Dan

Ten days later, Jiang Lin stood in the back hall of the Watchtower, accompanied by Tian Daheng, and said respectfully: "The Thunder Eagle Fort's several ninth-rank martial arts guardians and elders fought each other, resulting in heavy casualties. Now they have become a third-rate force and are not to be feared."

"There are currently 178 people in Zuowang Tower, including 5 martial arts rank 8, 19 martial arts rank 7, 32 martial arts rank 6, and martial arts items..."

"Eight top-grade weapons, fifteen top-grade weapons, and top-grade weapons..."

The recent developments were described in detail by Tian Daheng. In terms of current strength, it has reached a fourth-rate level.

But Jiang Lin was not satisfied and asked, "Why is it that a person at the peak of martial arts doesn't even have the ninth rank of martial arts?"

Tian Daheng smiled and said, "The most attractive thing in our Zuowang Tower right now is only weapons. We may be able to attract the ninth-grade martial artists. But the peak martial artists all want to break through the Yuanwu realm. Unless we have an alchemist or a large amount of elixirs, it will be difficult to invite them."

Jiang Lin finally understood that not everyone was like him, breaking through the Yuanwu realm as easily as drinking water.

If one can cultivate to the pinnacle of martial arts, he is already considered a child of destiny. If one wants to break through the Yuanwu realm, he is even more of a child of destiny.

Those who don't have this talent or opportunity can only rely on elixirs to help them and try their best.

After all, at their level of cultivation, they have both fame and fortune, and all they care about is climbing to higher peaks.

Zuowang Tower only relies on weapons, so it is quite difficult to attract top masters of martial arts to join.

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there any way to find an alchemist? Or collect some elixirs?"

"Most of the elixirs are made by Taoist sects. Whenever they appear, they attract countless people to fight for them. We are not qualified to rob them at the moment. If we want to buy them, the price is ridiculously high, and we may not even be able to get them. As for the alchemists..."

Tian Daheng smiled bitterly and said, "How could an alchemist who has to worship even the peak of martial arts be willing to come to our Zuowang Tower? Weapons have no appeal to them at all."

Jiang Lin could think of this, and couldn't help asking, "What can attract an alchemist? Medicinal herbs?"

"It should be considered, but they are all very high-grade medicinal materials, mostly monopolized by big forces." Tian Daheng said.

Jiang Lin frowned. This wouldn't work, and that wouldn't work either. Wouldn't it be impossible for Zuowang Tower to develop?

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. For example, the one palace, two gates and three forts, even the smallest one, the Thunder Eagle Fort, have been developed for hundreds of years, and it has only been a short time since the Zuowang Tower was built.

It would be strange if you could surpass others' accumulation of hundreds of years in just a few months.

The strong have always been strong, and everyone aspires to reach higher heights, just like the people in other blacksmith camps trying their best to squeeze into the South Blacksmith Camp.

Jiang Lin suddenly had an idea, remembering that he could now see the evaluation of elixirs. Did this mean that he had the opportunity to master the skills related to alchemy?
"Can you find the secret manual related to alchemy? Maybe I can find an alchemist for me to observe." Jiang Lin said.

"Alchemist... I really can't find one. They have all been recruited by the top forces." Tian Daheng said in embarrassment: "If you just want to find the alchemy secret book, there are some opportunities. But what does Lord Jiang want this secret book for?"

"I want to try and see if I can make the elixir myself." Jiang Lin said without hiding anything.

Tian Daheng was stunned. Since he couldn't find an alchemist, he tried to make the elixir himself?

If someone else said this, he would definitely think that the other person was either too crazy or too stupid.

If it were so easy to be an alchemist, there would be many of them.

But Jiang Lin is the most mysterious person Tian Daheng has ever met or even heard of.

When we first met, his cultivation level was similar to mine, but now he has reached the ninth level of Yuanwu Realm which is out of my reach!

It used to be a top-grade weapon, but now it’s a low-grade mysterious weapon!

Things that seem incredible to others do not seem difficult for Lord Jiang.

Therefore, it seems that it is not impossible for this alchemist to succeed!

"Speaking of which, blacksmiths, alchemists, and Taoists are all one family. It is reasonable for Lord Jiang, a blacksmith, to do the work of an alchemist." Tian Daheng said.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Don't flatter me like that."

"I have no intention of flattering you. The blacksmith and the alchemist are both from the Taoist sect." Tian Daheng looked at Jiang Lin's expression and seemed to understand something: "Master Jiang, don't you know?"

Jiang Lin was a little surprised. He really didn't know about this.

Tian Daheng then explained: "It is said that the founder of the blacksmith and the founder of the Taoist sect were both disciples of the same person and were brothers. It was not until the founding of the Daqian Kingdom that they split into two sects. It is said that four hundred years ago, if a Taoist went to a blacksmith shop, he would ask his senior brother for permission first."

"If a Taoist makes a mistake, any blacksmith can make him kneel down and admit his fault. If he refuses to admit his fault, he will be beaten with tongs or even hit on the head with a furnace."

Jiang Lin had a strange look on his face when he heard this; he knew firsthand how low the status of a blacksmith was.

We have all heard about how high the status of people in the Taoist sect is.

One is on the ground, the other is in heaven, how can they be mixed together?

But for some reason, he always felt that what Tian Daheng said was not false.

Your Majesty has wiped out two Taoist sects, and is now secretly training blacksmiths. The powerful clans are trying to win over the blacksmiths and block the secret recipes.

Putting these things together, it seems that blacksmiths and Taoism may really have some connection, after all, they are both experts in using furnaces.

But no one can explain it clearly now, and Jiang Lin can’t figure it out either.

One can only vaguely feel that there is some secret hidden in it, and that it is related to what the current Emperor is going to do.

The blacksmith is a very important part of it. Since he couldn't think of the answer, Jiang Lin didn't think about it any more and just said, "The old legend may not be credible. Anyway, find a few secret books for me to see."

Tian Daheng nodded and said, "I will have someone look for it everywhere, and when they find it, I will send someone to deliver it to Lord Jiang."

Afterwards, Jiang Lin left behind some silver and a top-grade weapon, and left with the remains of the monster and seven or eight newly collected fragments.

The harvest this time was actually not small. There were two remains of third-grade monsters and eight second-grade ones.

Those fragments ranged from precious weapons to spiritual weapons.

The quantity is not important, what is important is the type.

Jiang Lin knew very well that it would be difficult for any blacksmith in the world to fully tap the potential of the material like he did.

Although they are called precious weapons, in fact, the materials themselves can be used to make spiritual weapons or even mysterious weapons.

During this period of time, he has been very busy in the South Blacksmith Camp.

There are thousands of weapons registered and waiting to be delivered!

Those military officers not only make weapons for themselves, but also order one for their relatives and friends, and they only want the quality of Baobing or above.

This meant that even if Jiang Lin wanted to be lazy, he had no choice because apart from him, no one else in the Southern Blacksmith Camp could forge the precious weapons.

Moreover, this number of thousands is only a part of it. Some people do not have enough materials, or want to raise more materials in exchange for higher-grade weapons.

If all those who are interested come to register, three to five thousand will not be a problem.

The people of Daqian are martial in nature, and their obsession with weapons far exceeds that with other things.

After returning to the South Blacksmith Camp, Jiang Lin had just asked someone to move the things into the blacksmith shop when Blacksmith Qi ran over with three boxes in his arms.

"Master Jiang, these are the pills delivered today, two Nine Lights Pills, one Treasure Color Pill, and a few newly registered weapons. Please take a look."

Jiang Lin felt quite a headache. He was already very diligent and could make at least a dozen weapons a day, but it was far from keeping up with the speed at which these people placed orders.

These are only the 48 battalions in Kyoto. If it were replaced by border troops, there would be more than 1,800 battalions!
Jiang Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath. Fortunately, he didn't go to the front line with Liao Mingxu, otherwise hundreds or thousands of camps would come to him to order weapons, and he would not even have time to sleep.

Here, with his ninth-grade cultivation in the Yuanwu realm and his seventh-grade official position as chief clerk, he was able to keep his composure.

But there are probably quite a few Yuanwu realm warriors in the border army. As for official positions, they even dare to cut the position of Vice Minister of Works, so a small chief clerk is not worth mentioning.

What's more, there are generals and commanders above them, who have reached the level of divine martial arts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin didn't feel tired anymore.

He took the three boxes and opened them, and three round pills were neatly arranged.

[Good quality pills that can improve your cultivation]

[Good quality pill, can improve cultivation, physical fitness +1]

Jiang Lin was slightly surprised. Although the grade evaluation was the same, one of the pills had an additional Constitution +1.

Jiang Lin was familiar with the Jiuyao Pill and had already eaten three of them, but this was the first time he had seen the Baose Pill.

It is said to be an elixir, but in fact it looks more like a pearl, with a colorful and glittering surface.

When I picked up the Baosedan, I immediately smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. I didn't know what medicinal herbs it was made of.

Without much hesitation, Jiang Lin stuffed the three pills into his mouth at once.

The pill melts in the mouth and transforms into huge amount of energy that circulates throughout the body.

Jiang Lin could clearly feel that his meridians were expanding so that they could accommodate more vital energy from heaven and earth.

The cyclone in Dantian also grew larger, from the original size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean.

In addition, muscles, bones, qi and blood have also been slightly improved.

Unfortunately, there is no clear data, so it is impossible to judge how much the so-called physical fitness +1 has improved.

Jiang Lin's aura continued to rise, making Qi the blacksmith watching from the side envious.

However, Qi the blacksmith had no greed for the pill, as he knew that it contained such a huge amount of power that the moment he swallowed it, he would explode and die.

After a while, Jiang Lin opened his eyes, and there seemed to be five-colored light flowing in his pupils, and then it disappeared into thin air.

Qi the Blacksmith stood by and asked respectfully, "Master Jiang is about to break through to the peak of the Yuanwu Realm, right?"

Jiang Lin felt the power, then nodded and said, "After taking these six pills, they should be about 60% to 70% effective."

Blacksmith Qi chuckled and said, "If you get a few more, you will be at the peak of the Yuanwu realm. If you get more, our Southern Blacksmith Camp will have a Shenwu realm master!"
