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

Chapter 408 Ants
The tendon of the eighth-grade ancient thunder eagle was only rated as "excellent".

"Is this demon beast of the ninth rank?"

Jiang Lin suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and then he realized that the eighth-grade animal tendon was just an animal tendon.

No matter how spiritual they are, they are just some relics left by a complete monster.

Compared with the real eighth-grade monster, there is a huge difference, let alone the ninth grade.

His cultivation had almost reached the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, but at this moment he still felt the insignificance of a mortal facing the thunder from the sky.

"This monster is so scary!"

Jiang Lin's sight immediately shifted to the black and white thread. In the world of [A Picturesque World], everything would become real.

He stretched out his hand. It had no temperature and he couldn't tell what material it was made of, but it was very tough.

No matter how hard you try, you can't tear it apart.

Jiang Lin caught a glimpse of the ninth-grade monster that was about to come over his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stood there without avoiding it at all.

The powerful force of thunder can make people feel as if their hearts and minds are shattered and they are about to die on the spot even at a distance of thousands of meters.

The surface of the body was sizzling and tiny sparks were constantly coming out.

Even Jiang Lin, whose body was greatly strengthened, felt pain from such power.

But he still stood there, staring at the black and white threads.

By the time this ninth-grade demon beast came to a hundred meters away, the power of the thunder had become so strong that the whole person was about to burn.

The smell of burnt flesh rushed into Jiang Lin's nostrils. He clenched his fists, wanting to borrow the power of the monster to destroy the black and white thread.

The giant claw made of thunder grabbed Jiang Lin fiercely.

Everything in front of me is distorted.

The incomparably powerful force of thunder almost pierced through the world.

Jiang Lin's hair stood up and turned into ashes from the tips.

He had never felt such a powerful force before, and his soul was trembling involuntarily.

Only the body, under the influence of willpower, was like a peerless magic spear that was firmly stuck into the ground and did not move at all.

In an instant, the giant claws of the ninth-grade monster swept past.

boom--

Jiang Lin suddenly vomited blood and his body was slammed away. The black and white silk thread was no longer powerful in the face of such force.

Cracking inch by inch, this is exactly what he wanted.

But for some reason, when the black and white silk thread was about to completely disintegrate, Jiang Lin's heart suddenly felt an incomprehensible feeling of palpitations.

It seemed that if this thread was really destroyed, he would be in mortal danger.

Such a palpitating feeling made Jiang Lin's heart beat several times faster.

Seeing that the silk thread was about to be destroyed, he suddenly dissipated the power of [Painting of the World].

The ninth-rank demon beast attacked again with its giant claws, which passed through his body but missed.

A high-pitched and piercing sound came to his ears. This extremely powerful monster seemed to feel that it was being fooled and was extremely angry.

The entire body was emitting brilliant lightning, covering an area of ​​a thousand miles in radius.

In that world, there was only endless flashes of lightning, as if the world was being destroyed.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin has already left the world of [A Picturesque World]. No matter how strong he is, he cannot be hurt at all.

But my whole body still hurts a lot.

Looking down, there were charred marks everywhere.

"Being injured in that world is no different from being injured here, you will die too!"

Jiang Lin took a deep breath. This new discovery brought him great pressure.

No matter whether he traveled the secular world for a hundred years or was exiled for a hundred thousand years for hard training, the worlds he entered were not too dangerous.

Only this time did he understand that [A Picturesque World] could bring endless opportunities, but it also represented countless dangers.

Just like that place full of terrifying monsters, with my current means, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for even half a minute.

"How many mysteries are there in the human world's boxing techniques that can actually create such a terrifying world."

"Is this world real or fake?"

The injuries on the body are constantly being repaired.

The vital energy of heaven and earth is still continuously pouring into the body, and nothing seems to have changed.

The feeling of horror in my heart has not diminished at all.

The pressure brought by the ninth-grade monster was too great, far exceeding anything encountered before.

"No wonder I have never heard of a ninth-grade monster beast after being here for so long. Who can defeat such a monster beast nowadays?"

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at the black and white silk thread that was also being repaired, his eyes slightly gloomy.

What on earth is this thing?
It can be destroyed, but it cannot be destroyed.

Exhale and inhale slowly to calm your inner emotions.

The level of cultivation continued to improve until a certain limit was broken, and everyone within a hundred miles felt the strongest sense of oppression.

Many ordinary people who had no cultivation level looked up in surprise, but could not see anything unusual.

The sky is clear, but why does it feel like there is a mountain pressing down on it?
They could not see the vital energy of heaven and earth that covered the sky and the sun, nor did they know that there was another person at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm in the world.

Yu Shuai, who was thousands of miles away, seemed to sense something.

He turned his head and looked towards the direction of Kyoto City, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Good boy..."

Shifting our gaze back to the front, hundreds of thousands of border troops were fiercely besieging the mountain gate of Xujiandao.

Dozens of black and white chessboards divide the battlefield.

One attacked, the other defended. It was not brutal, but very stalemate.

……

In the blacksmith's shop, the breakthrough in cultivation has reached its peak. The power of the peak of the Divine Martial Realm makes Jiang Lin like a god descended to the earth. His aura is as vast as the ocean, unfathomable!

The divine light in his eyes flows, and nothing in the world can escape his sight.

The limit of vision has increased to thousands of miles away.

His eyes flickered slightly, and several pieces of information appeared.

[Skill 1: Firemaking Lv11 (Proficiency 0/1500000)]

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv11 (Proficiency 0/5000000)]

[Skill 1: Level 11 Mastery of Fire, perfect control of flame temperature within degrees, increase of % in burning efficiency, improves the quality of casting materials by %, % of castings may be upgraded after calcination, % may be upgraded by two grades]

[Skill 2: Level 11, Improves the quality of castings by 2%, and the hammer has a % chance of increasing the level of refining. Objects can be fused forged, attribute +]

The effects of the two skills [Mastery] and [Effortless Skill] have been greatly enhanced.

In particular, the probability of improving the grade of castings by returning to the furnace for calcination has reached eight percent!
This is already a very high probability. If you are lucky, you can trigger it in a dozen times.

As for the 0.7% chance of improving two grades, the probability still seems a bit low.

Jiang Lin didn't pay much attention to it and just looked at the skill information of [Yun Jin Cheng Feng].

Seventy percent increase in the Hundred Refining Levels, and attribute +2?

This means that if he were to forge the Black Tortoise Holy Arrow now, its hardness and other properties could at least double, reaching nearly ten thousand!
If that were the case, even ordinary divine weapons would be too fragile in front of it and would break at the slightest touch. Jiang Lin couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity, if only he could upgrade earlier and then forge the Xuanwu Holy Weapon Arrow.

Fortunately, the probability of upgrading the grade of [Mastery] has increased, which is also a small surprise.

"Sure enough, just like the alchemy skills, even the 11th level of blacksmithing skills cannot improve the skill of seeing the big picture from the small details. I'm afraid it will only be possible if you reach level 12."

Jiang Lin shook his head slightly. Until now, he was still only at level 2 of [Seeing the Big Picture from the Small Details], which was his lowest skill level.

Although the level is low, the effect is very good.

At the very least, there will be no defects when making weapons, and they will be almost perfect.

"Don't think about this anymore. Let's put the arrows back into the furnace and see if we can make some good ones!"

Jiang Lin turned around without saying a word and stuffed all thirty arrows in the quiver into the Hengyu furnace.

At the same time, he waved his hand and filled in a large amount of pig iron.

Since the attributes can be doubled, why should we waste it? We should create a few stronger arrows as trump cards!
Outside the blacksmith camp, a group of people looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the vitality of heaven and earth dissipate, and finally their eyes fixed on blacksmith Qi.

Blacksmith Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Wait a little longer! Maybe there is more!"

This time, no one raised any objections, as they were all psychologically traumatized by Lord Jiang's repeated breakthroughs.

Only the people from the Forestry and Garden Department and the Construction Department looked at the ruined blacksmith camp from afar, feeling like crying but without tears.

Making money is good, but it's also tiring!
……

The ochre-yellow flame burned the arrows gently, and soon, several of them began to soar.

Jiang Lin raised his hand and took it out, his eyes sweeping towards one of the Xuanwu Holy Weapon Arrows.

[An arrow of excellent quality, hardness +5011, flexibility +5003, with the effect of Tarsal Maggots, % chance of being unable to resist]

The attributes have indeed increased by about 20% and have exceeded the 5,000 mark.

On the arrow, fourteen branches of the magical treasure tree were fully lit, indicating that this arrow was a top-grade holy weapon.

Only one step away from becoming a divine arrow!
However, this step may be more difficult than all the previous ones combined.

Jiang Lin didn't care too much. What he wanted was the attributes. As long as the attributes were strong enough, they would be enough to break the grade gap.

Of course, the grade of a magic weapon naturally has its own special effects.

But I don’t have any magic arrows at the moment, so I don’t know what it will be.

Judging from the probability of being irresistible brought about by the grade of the holy weapon, it will obviously only become stronger, not weaker.

"Even if the probability is raised to 5%, it would be good. It's only 2%..."

Jiang Lin thought a little greedily, but unfortunately he didn't have enough materials and couldn't be promoted any further.

This made him think of the world of [A Picturesque World] again. Where ninth-grade monsters roam everywhere, the resources must be extremely abundant.

Apart from anything else, even if a ninth-grade monster was dismantled and used as materials, it would still be the best in the world.

"It's still not strong enough, otherwise that world would be my personal treasure house!"

The earthy yellow flame in the furnace seemed to be burning fiercely in the eyes.

What should be there will definitely be there!

In the imperial study, Emperor Shun still stood in front of the tall threshold, looking into the distance in the direction of the blacksmith camp.

After a moment, the emperor's voice was heard: "I confer the title of Second Rank Minister of Works on Jiang Lin. He can enter the palace to meet the emperor without the need for a summons."

Eunuch Tian, ​​who had been staring at the tip of his shoes, quickly responded, "Yes, I'll just..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor said, "Confer the title of Zhonglianghou on his father."

Eunuch Tian trembled. He was granted a title of nobility already?
There are only a few people in the whole Daqian who could rise to the top overnight from a commoner without even two acres of good land.

Even Eunuch Tian, ​​who had been with the emperor for many years and had reached the pinnacle of eunuchhood, couldn't help feeling a little jealous at this moment.

Your Majesty’s grace is truly greater than heaven!

But he didn't dare to show it at all, and instead quickly suppressed his jealousy.

Jiang Lin's position in His Majesty's heart is becoming more and more important. He is no longer someone he can afford to offend. Instead, he should be as respectful to him as he is to Marshal Yu. How can he neglect him?

"This old servant is here to tell Envoy Jiang and Zhongliang the good news!"

The fourth-rank Zuo Sishi and the second-rank Zuo Sishi may sound similar, but in fact they are worlds apart.

The Sishi is the deputy of the second-rank minister.

He can take charge of matters that the Minister is in charge of.

He is in charge of all matters that the Minister does not care about, so his power is enormous.

Moreover, unlike the captain of Old Man Wei's personal army, this one has real power and title.

Even if he cannot forge a magic weapon in his lifetime, he will still be one of the most important figures in Daqian.

Not long after, Jiang Lin, who was still forging new arrows in the blacksmith camp, was told by Eunuch Tian himself that His Majesty had bestowed him with the title of Second Grade Envoy of the Ministry of Works.

His old father, Jiang Qingguang, was even conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongliang.

"Congratulations, Lord Jiang. Your Majesty's favor is unmatched." Eunuch Tian said respectfully.

Jiang Lin just bowed and said calmly, "Please tell His Majesty that I am not talented enough to take on this important task. As for my father, he is even less worthy of such a high honor."

Eunuch Tian looked up in surprise. Ordinary people would be very happy to be promoted, so why did this person refuse it?

But since Eunuch Tian had been with Emperor Shun for many years, he must have been extremely smart and soon understood what was going on.

He lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Master Jiang, do you think that His Majesty is using this benefit to tie you down?"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything. Of course he thought so, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.

Eunuch Tian shook his head and said, "Lord Jiang may have misunderstood. Your Majesty's power is so great that he can see the faraway polar regions, not just this small territory."

"Such a great ambition cannot be constrained by human hearts."

"It's just that His Majesty feels that Lord Jiang is young and promising, and he cherishes his talent."

Jiang Lin looked at the old eunuch and still said nothing.

Eunuch Tian is Emperor Shun's man, so naturally he has to speak for the emperor.

Whether it is true or false is not important.

Seeing his determined expression, Eunuch Tian sighed and said, "When your majesty and Marshal Yu traveled to various countries, this old servant also accompanied you."

"If you have time, Lord Jiang should really go out for a walk and take a look at that very far place, then everything will become clear."

This was almost the same as what Yu Shuai said. Jiang Lin's heart moved, and he asked, "Eunuch, can you tell me clearly what is in the so-called extremely remote place?"

Eunuch Tian was silent for a moment, and then uttered two words.

"Ants."

Jiang Lin was stunned. Ants?

Before he could ask again, Eunuch Tian had already bowed and said, "Lord Jiang has made up his mind. I will go back and report to His Majesty. As for whether His Majesty is willing to take back his decision, I don't know."

"I just want to remind Lord Jiang that if His Majesty doesn't want to, you must not disobey His Majesty's order."

Jiang Lin heard the warning in his words and said, "Thank you for your advice, eunuch."

Jiang Lin frowned as he watched the old eunuch leave.

The faraway place means ants?

Who is the ant?

After thinking about it, it is nothing more than the people who saw it having such thoughts.

But Daqian is now so powerful that it has no rivals around it. Can it still be considered an ant?
What exactly exists around here?
