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

Chapter 330: Mysterious Yellow Fire (Additional chapter 12 for Guo Jiuxing Silver Alliance)

The next day.

Jiang Lin started working in the blacksmith shop early in the morning, and the sound of clinking continued.

The weapons we owe are too many and we will have to pay them back sooner or later.

The three children outside also followed the sound of hammering and continued to swing their weapons.

According to Jiang Lin, they would proceed to the next step when they cut the huge piece of pig iron into two halves.

Judging from the current situation, it may not be possible to complete it in ten days or half a month.

However, after such hard training, their bodies are much stronger than before, and their sword-wielding movements, strength, and accuracy have also improved significantly.

Jiang Lin would occasionally glance over and see Old Man Wei standing there, imparting his experience meticulously.

Even though Old Man Wei is far behind Jiang Lin in terms of martial arts skills, he is no worse than Jiang Lin in this kind of basic training.

Moreover, the border troops' kung fu is based on fighting, which requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, and is very practical.

Therefore, Jiang Lin now handed over the basic martial arts training of his three children to Old Man Wei.

Just wait until they enter the Yuanwu realm or have a higher level of cultivation, and then practice in your own way.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Lin had forged two weapons. Just as he handed them to the two military officers who had been waiting for a long time, someone came running over and said, "Master Jiang, Master Cai is here."

Jiang Lin then put down his things, thinking that the border troops had probably collected another batch of supplies and sent them over.

But this time the collection was quite fast. Could it be that they were stolen from Dachen or Daliang?

Jiang Lin walked out of the blacksmith shop and went outside to greet them, only to see that Cai Xingchang came alone.

When the many military officers along the way saw him, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted. The brave ones curiously asked why he came.

Cai Xingchang smiled and raised the box in his hand, saying, "Of course I'm here to give a gift to Lord Jiang."

Everyone became even more curious, a gift?

A general of the second rank, what gift should I give him when it is not a festival?

Jiang Lin came closer and bowed, "Master Cai."

"Sir Jiang, congratulations." Cai Xingchang replied with a smile.

"What's there to be happy about?" Jiang Lin was a little puzzled. Cai Xingchang came alone without any supplies or vehicles following him. What was he going to do?
"Marshal Yu personally went to Qingzhou to get the rare fire back for you, and His Majesty personally gave you nine Nine Yuan Spirit Pills. Isn't such a royal favor worthy of congratulations?"

As soon as Cai Xingchang said this, there was an uproar around him.

Marshal Yu personally fetched the magic fire for Lord Jiang?
This is understandable. After all, Jiang Lin has a very good relationship with the border troops, and even a second-rank general does not put on airs in front of him.

But Your Majesty, why should I give you a reward for no reason?
Also a reward of Nine Yuan Elixir!

This is a really good thing. It is said that three of them can allow a person to break through from the peak of the Yuanwu realm to the Shenwu realm.

Nine of them! They are enough to allow three people at the peak of Yuanwu realm to reach the Shenwu realm. How precious!

Even in the Taoist sect, there are not many good things like this. They must have been obtained when they destroyed the Xuanhua Taoist sect.

Jiang Lin was not surprised at all. When he came back from Xunzhou, he had thought that there would be a reward comparable to the inheritance of alchemy.

Now it seems that my guess was correct.

The court needed him to do something very important, and it was related to the emperor. Let alone a trip to Duan's inner residence, even if he became sworn brothers with Duan Zhijing, I'm afraid no one would say anything.

Jiang Lin bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, and thank you, Marshal, for your hard work. I really feel ashamed to accept it."

"Well, since it's been given to you, it's naturally what you deserve. There's no reason to feel unworthy of it." Cai Xingchang laughed and handed over the box and a cloth bag woven with gold thread.

Jiang Lin took it without any pretense, but Cai Xingchang was not finished yet. He took out a waist badge that looked like neither gold nor wood from his bosom and handed it to him.

"This is given to you by Marshal Yu. From now on, you can come and go freely in the Ministry of War. In the border troops, all generals above the second rank will be courteous to you."

Jiang Lin took the badge and took a look at it, and saw the word "soldier" engraved in ancient Chinese.

"This is a special order from the Ministry of War, not everyone can get it." Cai Xingchang said with a smile: "How is it, is this gift generous enough?"

"It's thick enough." Jiang Lin nodded.

Even though he knew that the imperial court would give many rewards to balance the influence of the Duan family, the current situation was slightly beyond his expectations.

The military officers around were looking at him with envy, and when they looked at Jiang Lin, there was a hint of awe in their eyes.

If you have a good relationship with the border troops, even if you are favored by Marshal Yu and Marshal Ling, they actually won’t care much.

After all, most of the people in the garrison camp are related to each other, and there are many high-ranking officials in their families, and many of them are from powerful clans.

But being favored by the Marshal and being appreciated by Your Majesty are completely different.

Nine Nine Yuan Elixirs are enough to prove how great the emperor's favor is.

Cai Xingchang glanced around and then said to Jiang Lin, "I have something else to say. Marshal Yu asked me to bring it. Lord Jiang, please allow me to talk with you for a moment."

Jiang Lin nodded and led Cai Xingchang to the blacksmith shop.

After Cai Xingchang came in, he took a look at the Hengyu furnace and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "This furnace is bigger than before?"

"It is because of the integration of this strange fire that its grade has been upgraded, so it is a little bigger." Jiang Lin explained.

Cai Xingchang didn't know much about blacksmithing, but he knew that some objects could indeed change as their grades were upgraded. He smiled and said, "No wonder Lord Jiang cares so much about this strange fire. It really is useful."

Jiang Lin laughed and didn't respond.

Cai Xingchang didn't say anything else. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Marshal Yu asked me to tell you that the court is not very kind to Lord Jiang, but it is also very kind and righteous. I hope Lord Jiang will know this."

Jiang Lin was about to continue listening, but when he saw Cai Xingchang shut up, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "That's all?"

"That's all." Cai Xingchang said, "Marshal Yu said that Lord Jiang is smart and will definitely understand. There is no need to say more."

Jiang Lin was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood what Marshal Yu meant.

The general wanted to tell him that the court is loyal to him and he should not do anything heartless or unrighteous.

If one day things really go against you, you must remember the kindness we have shown you now and don't be too ruthless.

Although the specific meaning may be slightly different from what Yu Shuai thought, Jiang Lin believed that this was the original intention of these words.

The border army commander must have noticed something, so he specifically asked Cai Xingchang to deliver the message.

"So this waist badge is not included in your majesty's reward?" Jiang Lin asked.

"This was given to you specifically by Marshal Yu. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty." Cai Xingchang said.

Jiang Lin nodded, cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Please tell Marshal Yu that Jiang Lin is not greedy for wealth and honor, nor does he have any great ambitions. He just wants to live a peaceful and stable life."

Cai Xingchang looked at him, as if trying to see something else in his eyes, but Jiang Lin's eyes were clear and he looked back at him without hesitation.

After a moment, Cai Xingchang said, "In that case, I will take my leave now. Sir Jiang, there is no need to see me off."

Jiang Lin responded and watched Cai Xingchang leave. He did not look down at the thing in his hand until the second-rank general disappeared from his sight.

Marshal Yu was a smart man, very different from the border military officers he had met before, and even different from Marshal Ling, who was also a marshal.

He is more sophisticated and relatively smoother.

"I know that I will be in danger because of the court in the future, so I paved the way in advance to avoid making a mortal enemy."

Jiang Lin understood that Yu Shuai was really good to him and didn't have any intention of taking advantage of him.

The ones who really wanted to use him were His Majesty the Emperor and the Ministry of Works who wanted to use him to gain credit.

Jiang Lin naturally remembered this gesture of goodwill, but his thoughts never wavered.

No matter what others say or do, you should continue to act according to your original plan.

At most...if we really come into conflict one day, I'll just give face to my border army brothers.

"What a pity..." Jiang Lin sighed softly. He just wanted to live a better life, but why was it so difficult?

Shaking his head, he put aside his thoughts and opened the gold cloth bag in his hand.

Nine dazzling precious pills exude a rich pill fragrance.

When it was taken out, the two dan patterns on it were clearly visible.

[Very good quality pill, can improve cultivation]

The information in the field of vision is simple and clear.

Jiang Lin didn't hesitate, picked up one and put it in his mouth, intending to test the medicinal effect first.

After the pill entered the mouth, it immediately turned into powerful energy that poured into the limbs and meridians. There was no vital energy from heaven and earth, only mysterious energy that appeared out of thin air as the power of the medicine spread.

A Nine Yuan Spirit Pill directly increased the amount of Xuan Qi in Jiang Lin's body by as much as ten strands!
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. This pill was a good thing. If he took all nine of them, even if he didn't break through to the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm directly, he should be able to do so soon.

He immediately poured out seven pills, stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them all.

In an instant, pure energy filled his whole body. Strands of mysterious energy were born and were constantly wrapped in the cyclone, strengthening the tiny river.

Not long after, Jiang Lin digested the medicinal power. He looked at himself again and found that the river was still much wider, and the total number of strands of mysterious energy had reached three hundred and fifty.

However, I have not yet broken through to the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm. I feel that I need to eat at least five or six more pills.

Despite this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but secretly praise him.

No wonder the alchemist has such a high status, he can directly push people to the divine martial realm with the help of elixirs.

Think about those powerful clans, or the imperial court. They have rarely displayed their divine martial realm to the outside world in recent years, but secretly, they have probably accumulated a lot of power.

The more he understood this, the more alert Jiang Lin became. He would not be elated at all because of his current achievements.

After the medicinal power was completely absorbed and his breath stabilized, Jiang Lin put the last Nine Yuan Elixir back into the golden cloth bag.

Even if this pill is eaten, it will not be possible to break through to the sixth level of the Shenwu Realm. It is better to leave it to Zuowang Tower. If anyone among them can reach the peak of the Yuanwu Realm, it can be used as a reward.

With a master of the Divine Martial Realm in charge, the prestige of the Watchtower would naturally increase.

Then, Jiang Lin looked at the box again.

After opening it, the golden flames inside were revealed.

[Good quality fire (yellow) (1/7 incomplete), can help you understand the rules of heaven and earth and help yourself]

Jiang Lin's eyes lit up slightly, feeling the help of the rules of heaven and earth?
This effect looks very unusual.
