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

Chapter 469 Germination Stage

Emperor Shun also knew that what he knew and saw today would be a huge shock to anyone.

Not to mention Jiang Lin, even when he first knew these things, he was also confused for a long time.

"Go back. If you have any information, you can come to the palace anytime. I am waiting for you."

Jiang Lin bowed and then turned and left.

The stone slab above the underground palace was lifted up, and Fang Zhizhong, the commander of the private treasury guards, stood beside the entrance.

Seeing Jiang Lin coming up, he didn't make any other movements, and didn't even show any intention of looking down.

Because the emperor's duty was to guard the private treasury.

Other than that, don't worry about anything.

Jiang Lin glanced at the guard commander who was at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm and wanted to say something.

But seeing that Fang Zhizhong was looking straight ahead, he did not speak.

After leaving the royal private treasury, Jiang Lin looked back.

It’s just an ordinary palace, but it actually hides such a huge ambition. No wonder there’s nothing else placed under the underground palace.

Compared with Emperor Shun's ambition, any treasure in the world is insignificant.

At this time, all the doors in the underground palace have been closed.

Eunuch Tian stood beside Emperor Shun and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you think Lord Jiang can succeed?"

Over the years, people have tried to make weapons using giant bones.

However, even the best private craftsman in a powerful clan could not succeed even with the best fire in the world.

Because no one can withstand the impact of such a powerful aura, even those in the Daowu realm.

So although the bones are good, they are very useless, and the powerful clans only hid them just in case.

Emperor Shun always maintained a dignified and domineering expression.

Even after being impacted by the aura for such a long time, there was not the slightest change.

The golden dragon robe seemed somewhat dim under the dim light of the spirit of the dark sea.

His voice was much clearer than when Jiang Lin was here.

"If he can't do it, I'm afraid no one can do it."

"What does your majesty think?" Eunuch Tian asked puzzledly.

"Because he was holding the handwritten book of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and it was not written when he was older. The handwriting was a little immature, obviously from his youth. If I remember correctly, when the Holy Ancestor Emperor was young, he lived and ate with the blacksmith master."

"At that time, Emperor Shengzu might not have shown the potential to become emperor. In fact, Emperor Taizu might even die at any time because of the difficulty in raising an army."

"Then why did you keep this handwritten book?"

Eunuch Tian was stunned when he heard this. He guessed many possibilities about the gift Jiang Lin sent, but the only thing he didn't guess was that it was a handwritten letter from Emperor Shengzu.

But why did the handwritten letter from Emperor Shengzu make Your Majesty angry?

And what Emperor Shun said sounded confusing, but also eerie and strange.

Emperor Shun looked deep in his eyes and continued, "The only possibility is that someone has seen the future of Emperor Shengzu, or is sure that the incense of Emperor Shengzu will definitely be passed on."

“And that person, other than the Blacksmith Grandmaster, could not be anyone else.”

"The blacksmith master left this thing to his disciples and grandchildren for the purpose of coming to see me today. Why should I be so faithful to those who hold the faith..."

Emperor Shun paused and said, "Don't neglect the person who holds the letter, because this person can help me accomplish my mission!"

Emperor Shun let out a long sigh, with a hint of respect in his tone.

"Although Emperor Taizu was soft-hearted and allowed the blacksmith master to leave with the power of the magic weapon, this master's ability is truly omnipotent! Could it be that he can really see what will happen hundreds of years later?"

Eunuch Tian was a little dumbfounded as he listened nearby. How could a person who lived hundreds of years ago foresee the future?

"How can this be?"

"Why is it impossible?" Emperor Shun said, "The magic star of Xujian Dao can gaze at the changes of the world. It is said that the adopted daughter of the blacksmith's confidante holds a high position in Xujian Dao. It is possible to observe the changes of the stars with the magic of Dao."

"I forgot about this. It is said that the blacksmith ancestor has the same roots as the Taoist sect and is a fellow disciple. I am afraid he really borrowed the power of the Void Supervisor Dao."

Emperor Shun nodded and said, "So Jiang Lin will definitely be able to help me accomplish something that Emperor Taizu could not do!"

"That powerful clan..."

"No need to pay attention."

Emperor Shun said calmly: "If the powerful clans really want to fight, they might as well come and give it a try. I was not afraid of them before Daqian was established, and I am even less afraid now!"

Eunuch Tian did not say anything. On the surface, Daqian's strongest force was a few generals, seven million border troops, and dozens of garrison camps, totaling nearly eight million people.

But the powerful clans have a foundation, doesn’t the royal family have one?
Emperor Shun waved his sleeves and walked like a dragon and a tiger.

Eunuch Tian looked back at the many doors, then quickly followed.

This old eunuch, who had witnessed Emperor Shun grow from a child, to a prince, and then to emperor, was filled with turmoil.

The big thing that Your Majesty is going to do has finally come to fruition!

With the token given by the emperor, Jiang Lin had free access to the palace.

Even without showing it, the guards could sense the special aura of the token.

Jiang Lin walked out easily, and his pace was not fast.

He was considering the possibility of what Emperor Shun said.

Frankly speaking, the probability of success is extremely low.

Not to mention the huge skeleton, what kind of strange fire would be needed to piece it together.

Even if it is really spliced ​​together, how to control it?
Jiang Lin couldn't think of an answer at all and had no idea at all.

But he always felt that Emperor Shun seemed to already know the answer and was just waiting for the bones to be put together.

"Could it be that the royal family really has the means to control the giant skeleton?"

"So if this thing succeeds, is it good or bad? If Emperor Shun is motivated by his own selfish desires, or simply wants to conquer the world, it will indeed bring endless disasters to Daqian as the powerful clans said."

"That kind of power shouldn't exist in this world."

Jiang Lin suddenly shook his head: "Don't believe the lies of the powerful clans. Compared with Emperor Shun, they are the ones who really do things for their own selfish desires."

For countless years, the powerful clans have only aimed at survival.

Whether it is a chaotic or prosperous time, it seems to have nothing to do with them.

The people exchanged their own children for food, and corpses were everywhere. They did not give away even a grain of rice.

The only saving grace was that even though his power might exceed that of the imperial court, he never thought of launching a rebellion.

"It takes a lot of effort to pick out such an advantage."

Jiang Lin sighed. Life was not easy these days.

The skeleton of a giant is enough to give you a headache.

Jiang Lin immediately thought of Youhai Gate. He felt so anxious that he wanted to go to Youhai immediately and kill all those people!

It's a pity that I have already promised Emperor Shun that I have to wait for a thousand people to die. Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a little strange. This feeling of knowing that someone is going to die but having to let it happen is really unpleasant.

In order to divert his attention, Jiang Lin went to the watchtower.

There haven't been many changes in Zuowang Tower recently. It's just that Tian Daheng's cultivation has reached the fifth level of Yuanwu Realm, and he has recruited hundreds of new people and bought more than a dozen shops.

Zuowanglou has also been purchasing and hunting for weapon fragments and monster remains.

They now have more people and a nearly unlimited supply of elixirs, so their cultivation is growing rapidly.

I still remember that when it was first established, a third-grade monster could make them flee in fear.

But now a bunch of Yuanwu realm warriors are rushing forward, and even a fourth-grade monster is a piece of cake.

Speaking of this, Jiang Lin was reminded of the terrifying monster he had seen when he pulled Lu into the world of [A Picturesque World].

He casually asked Tian Daheng if he had ever heard of the terrifying monster in the depths of the forest.

Tian Daheng replied: "I have heard of this before. It is said that the monsters in the deepest part are at least ninth-grade or above. It is even rumored that there are monsters that are higher than ninth-grade."

"But it's too horrifying. Even if one is at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, he will die in the northwest. So there isn't much news about it. There's only a legend that there's a person living there."

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. That was a damn place, even gods and men would tremble in fear when they went there. How could people live there?
Could it be the Eleven-Feathered Ancestor of Xiyi?

If I remember correctly, the Eleventh Feather Ancestor should be the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Western Yi who luckily escaped the disaster four hundred years ago.

It seems that even after Ma Ningyan conquered the northwest and drove the Western Barbarians into the forest, she was still unable to kill this man.

Tian Daheng quickly bowed and said, "This is just a rumor, don't take it seriously. If you need it, I can send someone to investigate. But there are remnants of the Western Barbarians there, and the cultivation of my subordinates is not very high, so it may take some time."

Jiang Lin waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking casually. There's no need to send anyone to die. It's better not to go to that place."

Tian Daheng breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing not to go.

Not to mention the monsters, it’s hard to say whether we can get through the Xiyi level.

In the battle in the northwest, the newly emerged Xiyi clan was driven back into the forest, suffering heavy casualties. They must now hate the Qian people to the core.

If we really send people there, I'm afraid as many as they go, they'll die.

Jiang Lin chatted about something else casually, and left only when the anger in his heart had eased a little.

After returning to Daqian Blacksmith, Qi Blacksmith and others naturally surrounded him again and asked why he came to the palace this time.

"Is Lord Jiang going to be promoted again? What rank this time? Second rank minister?"

"With Lord Jiang's talent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a first-rank minister!"

"That's right, I think it's okay!"

Everyone was talking about it at once, and they were all very happy, as if Jiang Lin's promotion and wealth were a matter of course.

For a moment, Jiang Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since when has promotion become so unworthy of any significance?
But these people are really bold in saying that. A second-rank assistant minister is fine, but a first-rank minister?
Jiang Lin did not forget that even when he was the ancestor of blacksmiths, Ma Ningyan killed so many civil servants but did not really kill all of them.

The civil servants were very stubborn, but if they had not tried their best, Daqian, which had fought for more than 400 years, would have collapsed long ago.

However, it is not so easy for a civil servant to become a second-rank or even a first-rank official.

Which one of them is not a rare talent?
Besides, Jiang Lin had no intention of fighting for power and profit. Whether he became an official or not was no longer important to him now.

From a young apprentice, to a master chef, to an eighth-rank official, and now to a second-rank official.

At the beginning, Jiang Lin was happy about the convenience brought by the promotion of official position.

However, now that he can talk directly to the emperor, what is the point of being a second-rank official or not being promoted to the first rank?

"No need to guess. His Majesty just wants to discuss some weapons manufacturing matters with me, not promotion." Jiang Lin said.

"No promotion?" Many people showed disappointed expressions.

Naturally, they hoped that Jiang Lin would become as high an official as possible, and it would be best if he could become the best blacksmith in the world, just like the ancestor of blacksmiths.

Although the status of the Blacksmith Camp is not bad at the moment, it has not returned to its peak period after all.

But then again, Lord Jiang is not the founder of blacksmiths. Isn't it normal that the Blacksmith Camp cannot return to its peak?
Thinking of this, many people felt relaxed.

However, they did not know that the weapon forging that Jiang Lin mentioned was something even more terrifying than getting promoted or getting rich.

After everyone left, Jiang Lin came to the blacksmith shop.

Although in the eyes of others, he was only away for a few days.

But Jiang Lin himself actually spent more than ten years there.

Seeing the familiar things again, he couldn't help but walk forward, touch the anvil, touch the Star-Destroying Hammer, and then touch the Hengyu Furnace.

The spirituality within the Hengyu furnace quickly conveyed a joyful mood.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I found a way to feed you quickly. You don't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore."

Heng Yulu's mood became even more excited, and even the cocoon jumped a few times.

Jiang Lin leaned forward to take another look. The ancient purple gold wood seeds wrapped in flames did not change much and were still almost the same as before he left.

The purple-gold seedlings swayed slightly in the flames, as if greeting Jiang Lin.

[Seeds of excellent quality have the opportunity to become ancient trees that support the world (germination stage)]

Now it has been confirmed that this little thing has indeed been promoted to the level of a divine weapon.

However, the suffix had the three words "germination stage", which surprised Jiang Lin a little.

It seems that some changes have occurred in the growth process of the seedlings during the days I was away.

"It is already at the divine weapon level in its embryonic stage. I wonder if it can achieve another breakthrough after it grows up."

Jiang Lin was thinking about seeing a monster of "supernormal" grade in the depths of the forest.

If the ancient purple gold wood could also reach this grade, we could spend more time on it.

Moreover, now that the relationship with Emperor Shun has changed, this young seedling actually no longer needs to be hidden.

Seeing that it was doing well in the flames, Jiang Lin didn't want to take it out.

After all, after taking it out, I don’t know where to plant it. I can’t plant it in the blacksmith camp.

The materials brought back from Lu's have been sorted and arranged.

There were so many things that the blacksmith's shop was filled to the brim.

Jiang Lin looked at the Sky Scale Armor beside him again. The tattered divine armor had lost its original spirituality.

Along with the arm armor, it was covered with dust.

Hengyu furnace has a special repair function. In theory, it should be able to repair the sky scale armor.

However, considering that the grades of these two items are very high, Jiang Lin turned his head to look at the Hengyu furnace and said, "If you want the horse to run, you should feed it grass first. Tens of thousands of materials should be able to raise you to at least a high-grade holy weapon, right?"

The flames in the Hengyu furnace rose and swayed happily.

Jiang Lin smiled, but did not upgrade the Hengyu furnace immediately.

Instead, he first found all the materials that could improve hardness. The first goal, of course, was to upgrade iron tools such as the Star Destroyer and the Anvil.

It will be more convenient to upgrade the Hengyu furnace later.
