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

Chapter 402: One Person's Enlightenment (Added Chapter)
The ten mountain gates of Xujian Road were besieged by a million border troops and local government troops.

The masters of every mountain gate have cultivation level of at least the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm.

However, the number of disciples of Xujian Dao is not large. Compared with other Taoist sects with more than 10,000 people, there are only dozens of people in one mountain gate.

Faced with the siege of at least 100,000 border troops and 200,000 provincial troops, the black and white chessboard fell, and countless lines divided the battlefield.

The strength of a divided battle formation will naturally be weakened.

An old man in green sat in front of the mountain gate, staring at the battle formation ahead, and raised his hand and tapped lightly.

"Xing Luo."

An extremely mysterious aura spread from the chessboard along the lines, constantly colliding with the power of the battle formation.

The invisible battle caused the void to tremble endlessly.

Many soldiers began to tremble as well, and then saw that the weapons in their hands began to gradually disintegrate.

The magic of [Xingluo] that can trace back to the past has restored these weapons to their most primitive state.

A large amount of pig iron fell to the ground, which was dizzying to look at.

"Xujian Dao's Starry Array is truly the nemesis of my Daqian army formation." A second-rank deputy general said with emotion.

As soon as the fighting on the northwestern frontier ceased, the frontier troops in the hinterland received orders.
Apart from such magical skills, who else in the world can stop so many border troops by himself?

The general Cai Xingchang at the side said indifferently, "So what? It's just a struggle to survive."

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the disciples of Xujian Dao who were standing behind the mountain master.

Just a few dozen people are not worth mentioning, even if there are a few masters at the peak of Yuanwu realm, or the first or second level of Shenwu realm among them.

Finally, his gaze fixed on the old man in green, and a hint of mockery flashed in Cai Xingchang's eyes.

As the Star Luo magic unfolded, a large number of weapons were restored to their original materials and fell all over the ground.

Without weapons, the power of the battle formation was further weakened.

Even the armor on the soldiers began to peel off.

At this moment, the old man in green suddenly struck back with his palm.

A sharp blade avoided the palm at a strange angle and allowed it to hit itself.

Blood spurted wildly on the face of the old man in green, and at the same time, the sharp blade carrying the dark aura of the holy weapon pierced into his neck fiercely.

The green-clothed old man's expression changed: "Yin Shenwen..."

Then his whole body seemed to be filled with countless holes, and he began to madly spew out thick black mist.

The black mist carried an unimaginable corrosive power, dissolving all of his flesh, blood, and bones, and even devouring his cultivation.

The horrifying scene made dozens of other Xujian Dao disciples terrified.

"Mountain Master!"

"Huang Mingdao, what are you doing!"

The middle-aged man who was slapped away by the old man in green and vomited blood had no intention of answering.

After landing, he looked indifferently at the old man in green clothes who was spewing black mist from all seven orifices.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the mountain master be killed to set things right!"

Those Xujian Dao disciples were furious. They understood very well that there was a traitor in the Dao sect.

They made magic seals, and black and white chessboards appeared in front of them, ready to attack the middle-aged man.

But the general Cai Xingchang on the other side had already sneered and said, "Kill!"

The black and white chessboard of the old man in green had become illusory, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted at the same time, smashing it to pieces in one fell swoop.

The power of the battle formation was gathered again. Although there were fewer weapons, the power was still terrifying.

The ten lieutenant generals at the front swung their swords together, creating a sword aura that was dozens of meters long.

Along with the black and white chessboard, as well as those Xujian Dao disciples, they were all chopped to pieces.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of the lieutenant general, hundreds of thousands of soldiers launched a charge. Their might was so overwhelming that no one could stop them.

The old man in green had been completely corroded by the black fog and turned into ashes.

A gust of wind blew, and it disappeared completely from the world.

A few days later, the whole world was shocked.

The Daqian border troops attacked and destroyed the ten mountain gates of Xujian Road!
Up to this point, 20% of the 49 mountain gates on Xujian Road have been visited.

With such a great victory, people were naturally excited and no one would consider whether Xujian Dao should be destroyed.

Who dares to say more about what the court is going to do?

Who can say more!

Most people would just applaud when they knew about it.

After all, Xujiandao had nothing to do with them. On the contrary, the continuous victories of the imperial court brought them protection.

The most important thing is that although the Daqian court had been fighting wars for years, it had never collected capital from the people.

All military supply dispatches are under the charge of the Forty-Eight Departments.

Apart from the conscription of border troops to supplement their manpower, there is nothing else to criticize.

As for joining the army and fighting, many people take it for granted.

If you are not satisfied with your life, you can go to the border army and try your best. Maybe you can become a military officer.

The generous welfare of the border troops is obvious to all.

At this time in the Rune World, the old man in green said in a deep voice: "The border troops of Daqian are too bullying. They want to defeat us one by one and destroy our Xujian Dao lineage! The Dao Master should call back all the mountain masters and work together to fight against Daqian!"

"It's okay." The figure behind the clouds still stood upright, and the voice did not change at all.

It seemed that the destruction of ten mountain gates was just a trivial matter.

"Master!" The old man in green showed an even more anxious and worried look.

However, a gentle wave of that white jade-like palm represented everything.

He could only bow and retreat, slowly leaving here. After leaving the Rune World, the old man in green looked at the border troops outside the mountain gate, exhaled a long breath, and then sat down.

"Why would the Taoist master just sit there and wait for death? The outcome of the Xingluo chess game should be visible to us."

The old man had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"ending……"

"Could it be that the Taoist master has already seen the outcome and did this on purpose?"

"What on earth is he going to do!?"

In the rune world, a pair of cold eyes stared ahead.

The clouds and mist became thicker, and hundreds of streams of light emerged from the void and floated around him.

"Now that we have started, we can no longer stop."

"If it were you, you would probably do the same."

"Daozu."

Those hundreds of streams of light continuously flowed into Guo Jiuxing's body, and his aura instantly surged to an extremely terrifying level.

Even those at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm would be as weak as a child in front of him.

Eight of the tall runes around him began to flash violently, and then transformed into golden marks that surrounded him.

The mark entered the body, and the surging aura was quickly covered up and could no longer be detected.

Only those eyes flashed with a frightening look.

"The time is not up yet, so we can't let them kill too quickly."

Guo Jiuxing stretched out a finger and pointed forward. Ripples appeared in the void and a black light appeared faintly.

He flicked his fingers and sent the black light flying.

"Go ahead and take him to do something."

……

In the blacksmith camp, Marshal Yu came here again in person.

Behind him, there was a carriage loaded with boxes made of gold and exotic wood.

"This is the material you mentioned last time. I begged His Majesty for a long time and finally got it."

"Thank you so much, Yu Shuai!" Jiang Lin said with gratitude on his face.

Marshal Yu, who had only heard the emperor mention it once and then went directly to the private vault to search for it himself, looked very calm.

He handed over the Sun Chaser Bow and said, "The bowstring is broken. Fortunately, I gave you a replacement a few days ago. It can be used now."

Jiang Lin took it and took a look. The original sixth-grade Yin-Yang ancient rhinoceros tendon had been broken into two pieces, but there was no problem with the bow body.

"By the way, call your parents, sister, and Wei Xiangzhong. There is an imperial edict for them." Yu Shuai said.

Jiang Lin was stunned. In the past, every imperial decree was given to him directly. Why is it that there is something about his parents and sister now?

"Master Yu, this is..."

"Don't worry too much. Since I am here, it is a good thing. Just call them over." Marshal Yu said.

Jiang Lin nodded. If the emperor really wanted to do something, he would never just let the border army commander come.

It is estimated that there are at least 100,000 to 80,000 border troops.

Without thinking any more, he went over to call Old Man Wei and Jiang Xiu to accompany Yu Shuai, and then flew towards home.

Old Man Wei and Jiang Xiu came up to him and bowed, "Wei Xiangzhong, I greet the Marshal."

"Commoner Jiang Xiu, I pay my respects to Marshal Yu."

Yu Shuai nodded casually, and just glanced at the old man Wei's legs and feet, slightly surprised: "Are your legs okay?"

Old Man Wei smiled slightly, "Jiang Lin made me a pill and it cured me."

Yu Shuai's face suddenly looked strange. He knew that Jiang Lin could make pills before, but he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, how good can a blacksmith's alchemy skills be? I can't let you take advantage of me all the time.

But now it seems that I still underestimated Jiang Lin.

This kid's talent is really scary.

It seems like he can do anything well as long as he wants to do it.

It's like this for blacksmithing, it's like this for alchemy, even my cultivation level is increasing faster than others, it's really outrageous.

"You are blessed." Yu Shuai said.

Old Man Wei did not refute, but nodded and chuckled: "Indeed."

Jiang Xiu stood aside with curiosity and awe, feeling a little nervous, not knowing what Yu Shuai was going to do.

Song Ziyan, who was practicing lifting heavy objects with ease in the distance, looked back from time to time and asked, "Sheng Yingchun, is Master going to be promoted again?"

"That should be the case, but Master doesn't care about these things." Sheng Yingchun said.

Song Ziyan was a little puzzled: "How do you know?"

"If you really care about these things, Master wouldn't have stayed in the Blacksmith Camp all this time, stupid!"

Soon, Jiang Lin brought his parents and even his brother-in-law Wang Hua over.

When the three men saw Yu Shuai, they were terrified and wanted to kneel down on the spot.

Yu Shuai had no intention of helping them. He just smiled and took out the imperial edict and said, "Since you are kneeling, just listen to the imperial edict."

"God bless you, the emperor decrees. Jiang Lin, the director of the Ministry of Works, is here to forge a powerful weapon to help the Northwest Frontier Army win a great victory over the Western Barbarians!"

"For his outstanding achievements, his father was granted the title of Loyal Earl, his mother was granted the title of Third Rank Imperial Edict, and his sister Jiang Xiu was granted the title of County Junior Princess. He was also awarded a mansion, 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, maids, servants, etc...."

After a series of rewards were read out, the people kneeling on the ground were all dumbfounded.

Loyal and good Earl?
A third-rank imperial edict?

County Young Master?
They subconsciously looked at Jiang Lin, and were so excited that they were about to cry.

Thanks to their son, they are going to become officials too!
