Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 2: Yellow-rank low-level weapon, water-patterned golden dagger! [Seeking Fern]

Ding!Ding!Ding!
In the forging room, Jiang Lin put a fist-sized piece of golden ore into a small blast furnace that he had built by hand using clay and bricks. He then added some coal collected from the market, sealed the small blast furnace, and used his arm to continuously push the simple fan to keep the temperature inside the small blast furnace rising.

Under the high temperature, beads of sweat slid down Jiang Lin's cheeks, and his back was soaked with sweat without him noticing.

"It is said that there is a magical fire in the world, called strange fire, which has extremely powerful power. If we can't do that, there is also beast fire, which is a strange fire that far exceeds ordinary fire. If we can get one of them, it may be of great help in refining weapons, right?" Sweat kept falling from Jiang Lin's forehead, and his arms kept pumping the bellows without stopping. It was hard to imagine that such a powerful force existed in his small body!
"This body's talent for cultivating Dou Qi is also very good. If it doesn't want to be too outstanding, I think it should be able to complete the Dou Qi entry into the body within a month and reach the first level of Dou Qi."

"But... No, I won't be able to do that. If I show off too much before I have enough strength to protect myself, it will easily bring me unnecessary trouble."

"My fighting spirit attribute is fire-gold. The fire-attributed fighting spirit contains a trace of Gengjin aura, which is the most suitable fighting spirit attribute for refining weapons."

"In my previous life, I was just a graduate student in materials science who was just waiting to die. I remember that I stayed up all night for a few days in a row, and when I woke up, I found myself working hard here. I almost starved to death in that valley. If I hadn't learned some handicraft skills while slacking off, I would have almost 'visited' this place."

The best Dou Qi attribute for an alchemist is Fire in Wood, which is a fire-attributed Dou Qi with a hint of green wood. However, this does not mean that Jiang Lin's Fire in Gold Dou Qi cannot be used to make medicine. In this world, there are also alchemists who use the flames of heaven and earth to make medicine. Fire in Wood is the best innate qualification, but it is not the only requirement for an alchemist.

"I have been exploring Qingshan Town at the foot of the Monster Mountain Range for half a year, and I have never seen how much importance this world places on 'weapon refining'. I can only develop into a weapon refiner to have the opportunity to improve my strength without attracting other people's attention."

Jiang Lin continued to smelt the golden metal in the blast furnace. During this repetitive work, his mind would unconsciously start to think about other things.

"The lofty status of the alchemist can reflect the world's view of power, which advocates the strength of the individual and the self. Weapons, armor and other external things are not valued."

"The metaphysical is the Tao, and the physical is the instrument. If the instrument can also carry the Tao, then this is the prototype of the 'magic weapon'."

As a graduate student in materialistic materials science, Jiang Lin's three views have always been very simple and unpretentious: existence is reasonable, and what is reasonable can be replicated!

Normal weapons do not play a prominent role in this world of high-level martial arts where one can move mountains and chase the moon. However, Jiang Lin always remembers his mentor's words: "Basic materials are the foundation of civilization, including the view of civilization, the view of development, the view of the universe, etc. The only difference between scientific and technological civilization and fantasy civilization is whether extraordinary materials are discovered!"

"Teacher, the soldier you often exploited was the first to discover extraordinary materials, but he was taken abroad, to another world."

After an unknown amount of time, the sun outside gradually became hotter. Jiang Lin took out the fire tongs, braved the high temperature, opened the small blast furnace, then took out the liquid that had turned into red water and poured it into a rectangular mold prepared nearby.

"It is recorded in my mother's book that elixirs above the sixth grade have begun to develop a faint spiritual intelligence. If we can apply the rules of refining medicine to refining equipment, I wonder if we can eventually refine a magic weapon?"

Jiang Lin skillfully placed the condensed forearm-sized metal blocks into various liquids one by one to cool them down, then took them out with tongs, picked up a small hammer with his other hand, and started the forging process of tempering the steel.

The physical fitness of humans in this world is much better than that of Jiang Lin in his previous life. The power contained in his current ten-year-old body is basically better than the useless body that he used to stay in the laboratory all day. Ding! Ding! Ding!
Clear sounds full of rhythm and tempo continued to ring out. Jiang Lin was not in a hurry. He seemed to have entered a state similar to meditation. He said nothing and silently used the hammer in his hand to forge the red-hot iron block on the tongs again and again. If he hadn't hit the right spot with each hammer and moved the position a little bit, to outsiders, this man seemed to be in a daze.

Jiang Lin's mind is most relaxed when he is doing repetitive work. His mentor used to say that as long as he changed his lazy nature and could enter a state of meditation at any time, he would definitely become a master in a certain field in the future.

"What a beautiful flowing water pattern." Even though the young man was full of energy, Jiang Lin felt the soreness in his forearm. However, when he saw the lapis lazuli ore in his hand gradually becoming thinner in his hand, and after repeated folding and hammering, beautiful patterns appeared on the blade, Jiang Lin was still cheered up.

The young man's energy 'revived' for a moment, and Jiang Lin immediately began to gradually shape the metal in his hand into a dagger that was 20 centimeters long and two fingers wide. Including the handle that Jiang Lin estimated, the dagger was about 25 centimeters long.

Stab it!

The fiery red dagger quickly cooled in the special liquid, and the blade began to reflect a cyan-gold light in the sunlight.

Sharpening the blade!
Quenching!

As his work became more and more perfect, Jiang Lin became more energetic.

Until a light and pleasant voice came from outside: "Xiao Linzi! Are you still forging iron? It's time for dinner. Why are you not so enthusiastic about dinner today?"

"Ah! Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!"

Following the sound of iron, the little medical fairy in white pushed open the door of Jiang Lin's forging room, and then saw Jiang Lin, who was sweating profusely, with his muscular upper body naked, standing next to the furnace, concentrating on polishing something.

Upon hearing this, the latter looked up and smiled slightly: "Is it time for dinner? Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

The little medical fairy stood at the door, looking at the shirtless Jiang Lin. She didn't know whether to go in or not. Just when she was struggling, Jiang Lin stood up, holding a dagger with a blue-green blade in his hand. There was a golden pattern similar to water flow near the blade, which was extremely exquisite!
"What are you doing?" The little medical fairy's eyes were immediately attracted by the beautiful dagger in Jiang Lin's hand.

"A low-level yellow-rank weapon, a golden dagger with water patterns."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin pointed at a wooden stick as thick as his arm and injected the only trace of fighting spirit in his body into the golden dagger with water patterns. A faint airflow appeared on the blade that was emitting a blue-green light, and then there was a loud bang!
Cut it off!
