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

Chapter 101 The road ahead is long but bright

"Hengyu Furnace?" Everyone was a little frightened when they heard it. Was this name a bit too majestic?
But it is Jiang Lin’s stove after all, and the most important thing is that he likes it.

Besides, most blacksmiths are not very educated, so if they can finally come up with a word that sounds impressive, they should cherish it.

Yuan Bingqi stood beside Jiang Lin, looking at the tall furnace, and said, "With this furnace, you don't have to worry about calcining ordinary iron. But with your attainments, sooner or later you will come into contact with better materials. By then, ordinary charcoal fire may not be enough."

Jiang Lin turned to look at him: "Are there any other things that can be used for calcination?"

"Of course there are. Charcoal fire is just the most common one." Yuan Bingqi said, "There are many rare woods in this world. For example, there are two kinds in the foundry. One is called Yanjing Wood. It is as crystal clear as ice, but the fire temperature is so high that even Xuanjing Iron will melt into molten iron in the blink of an eye."

"There is also a species called red locust, which will spontaneously combust once every hundred years. The fire temperature is highest at this time. If it is cut down, the fire temperature will drop by at least half."

"The most powerful ones are the Taoists. They use their cultivation methods to create all kinds of strange fires out of thin air, which can burn everything."

Yuan Bingqi introduced it and said with emotion: "It's a pity that we are blacksmiths. We don't have the skills or such extraordinary talents. Otherwise, if we use the Taoist magic fire to forge iron, it will be no problem to make magical weapons!"

Blacksmith Qi came over and said, "The Taoist fire may not be the most powerful. When our ancestors forged the magic weapon, they also used coal ore."

Yuan Bing wondered, "The charcoal mine used by our ancestor was obtained by the Emperor of Heaven. How could it be ordinary charcoal? It must be made from the finest exotic wood in the world."

Listening to the discussion between the two blacksmiths, Jiang Lin suddenly felt his heart surge.

I didn't know that there are so many kinds of casting materials, and even the types of charcoal fire are countless. What I know is probably not even the tip of the iceberg.

But Yuan Bingqi is right. If you want to create higher quality objects, you need better materials.

Better materials require higher temperatures.

Otherwise, the calcination alone can kill a person.

Jiang Lin looked at the information again. Currently he was only at the bronze level, and he didn't know how many levels he would have to go through.

Judging from the efficiency of the furnace upgrade, it is not fast.

If you really want to rely on ordinary iron to build an indestructible golden body, you probably won't be able to do it even if you die of old age.

"It seems that sooner or later I have to leave the blacksmith camp and find some better charcoal to prepare. Otherwise, relying solely on the increase in skills and abilities will ultimately be limited. When will it be possible to forge an immortal golden body?"

Mastering so many skills will give him the hope of eternal immortality. Jiang Lin doesn't want to end up dying in disgrace.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yuan Bingqi and asked, "Master Yuan, do you know where to get better materials and charcoal?"

Yuan Bingqi said, "There are rarely such good things in the blacksmith camp, unless outsiders bring them to the master craftsman to make them, there may be some leftovers. If you want to buy them yourself, it's not impossible. Many large shops in Kyoto sell such items."

"That's a place that drinks human blood. With this little money we have, we can't even get through the door." Blacksmith Qi added.

"Is it impossible for ordinary blacksmiths to get access to good materials?" Jiang Lin asked.

"It's not that there is no way at all." Yuan Bingqi said.

He mentioned two ways. The first one was to be as skilled and famous as the master craftsman, so as to attract others to seek help and take the opportunity to keep some materials.

The second is that Daqian fought all night long and martial arts became a trend among the people.

Every year, each city would set up an arena for a weapons competition, and the rewards were mostly various kinds of good materials.

The bigger the city or the bigger the arena, the better the reward materials will be.

"But we don't have any good stuff in our blacksmith camp. Even if we take out eighth-grade or seventh-grade weapons, it would be humiliating. To be able to enter that kind of arena, you must at least be of middle-upper grade, or even upper grade. Unless you are lucky enough to encounter an arena that only allows ordinary iron to be used."

Jiang Lin listened thoughtfully. It was extremely difficult for ordinary blacksmiths to make a medium-to-high-quality weapon with ordinary iron. But for him, it was not a problem.

At present, we can create the fifth grade. If we go to the next level, the fourth grade will not be difficult.

Just listening to what Yuan Bingqi said, even if you get the fourth rank, you may not have any chance of winning.

The arena that is limited to ordinary people is hard to come by.

If you want to win and get rewards, you can only use better materials to make weapons.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a headache. It turned out that the first step in primitive accumulation was the most difficult.

As we chatted and thought like this, time passed quickly.

By the evening, the polishing and trimming of the Hengyu furnace had been completed, and it looked even more majestic than at the beginning.

Some blacksmiths nodded their heads when they saw it, praising it so much that it was almost worthy of the name Hengyu Furnace.

Jiang Lin laughed secretly when he heard this, thinking that you probably don't know the origin of this Hengyu Furnace. It is an imperial weapon that can melt the Great Dao and generate the Dao Spirit.

My mere fourth-grade furnace is not worth mentioning even in this world, let alone compared with the real Hengyu furnace.

During the conversation with Yuan Bingqi, Jiang Lin already knew that there were more than nine grades of weapons in the world.

To be precise, the ninth rank is the category of ordinary soldiers, just like surpassing the peak of martial arts, there are Yuanwu, Shenwu, and Daowu behind it.

After ordinary weapons, there are seven grades: treasure, spirit, mysterious, origin, saint, god, and dao. Each grade is further divided into three smaller grades: upper, middle, and lower.

Among them, Taoist soldiers are things that only exist in legends and can create the world. It is said that they are born and raised by nature and cannot be created by human power.

Divine weapons are the limit of human power. When the ancestor of blacksmiths forged three top-level divine weapons, his body became holy.

Holy weapons are extremely rare and can almost be said to be the guardian treasures of the major Taoist sects. The materials used to forge them also mostly require the Taoist magic fire to be melted.

Yuanbing and Xuanbing were mostly owned by the prosperous dynasties or the top dignitaries, while Lingbing and Baobing were heard of from time to time, but they were the ceiling that ordinary blacksmiths could reach.

These seven grades are the real magic weapons. The top three and middle three grades are nothing but garbage in front of them.

Even for an experienced craftsman like Yu Maoming, it is not easy to forge a precious weapon, and he may not even be able to make a spiritual weapon.

The better the material, the more extraordinary power it contains, and the more strange phenomena it will bring when it is hammered.

If you are not careful, it is normal to die on the spot.

All in all, the extraordinary things in this world are definitely not what you can see in the blacksmith camp.

Only when you really go out there, you will know how big this world is!

But for Jiang Lin now, no matter how much he yearns to go out and run around, it is impossible for him to do so.

The stronger the force outside, the more dangers there are. My thin arms and legs cannot withstand it.

Looking at the tall furnace in front of him, Jiang Lin's eyes became more determined.

The road ahead is long but bright, nothing is impossible. With such good cards in hand, I don’t believe that I can’t make a name for myself!

Sooner or later, he will create a top-notch magic weapon that can impress all the gods and immortals in the heavens, and cultivate an indestructible golden body!
