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

Chapter 120 This is considered a little master.

……

Amidst a series of prompts, Jiang Lin stared at the fangs of the demon python in the charcoal fire.

Compared to ordinary iron, the fangs of the demon python are more heat-resistant. According to Jiang Lin's estimation, ordinary blacksmiths may not be able to melt them at all.

The temperature of the charcoal fire I used was over two thousand degrees, but it still took a full half hour.

Seeing the fangs being burned red, Jiang Lin picked them out with tongs, and new information appeared in his field of vision.

[Ordinary fangs, can increase the strength of castings, and come with fire poison]

Jiang Lin's eyes lit up slightly. Was this because the hidden power of his bloodline had been successfully stimulated?

Judging from the literal meaning, the fangs themselves already have fire poison. If they are integrated into weapons, this characteristic should be transferred as well.

After a little thought, he put the fangs into a special pottery jar and continued to burn them over a high fire.

Another half hour passed, until the pottery jar was almost cracked, and the fangs gradually melted.

Jiang Lin took out the burned pig iron and the pottery jar, and then carefully applied the melted fangs layer by layer.

Fortunately, he had learned the method of pouring steel. Although fangs and pig iron are different, the principles are the same.

The so-called steel pouring method is to cast pig iron and wrought iron together. When they are extremely wrought and the pig iron is about to flow, the pig iron is rubbed on the wrought iron to force it into the steel.

This method is fast, but for some reason, almost no one in this world has ever used it.

Perhaps it is because weapons made by the cast steel method have too high a carbon content. Although they are stronger, they are easy to break and are not suitable as standard weapons.

But this is not the point. Relying on the steel pouring method, Jiang Lin applied the fang solution and began to hammer it.

When the temperature drops, it is returned to the furnace for calcination again and the remaining solution is applied.

This went on for several hours before all the fang solution was finally melted into the iron block.

At this point, the originally black pig iron has undergone some color changes.

A very dark red, almost unnoticeable.

Things became much simpler after that, just hammering, quenching, and sharpening as required.

Jiang Lin took a long sword and five arrows.

It was quite difficult to sharpen the knife. Ordinary whetstones were extremely inefficient. Even if I kept adding water, it still took a long time.

After a long time, Jiang Lin finished sharpening the blade and picked up a rag to wipe the stains off the blade.

Seven bright entropy patterns appeared on the blade. It was now night, and the entropy patterns emitted a dim glow as if they had absorbed moonlight.

Upper second grade!
This is a weapon of the highest quality made by Jiang Lin himself.

In the eyes of those people in the martial arts world, this is already a real magic weapon, enough to cause a bloody storm.

But Jiang Lin was not quite satisfied. He originally thought that he could reach the next level, or even directly break through the limit of ordinary weapons and reach the level of precious weapons.

Now it seems that the quality of the demon python's fangs is too low. Even though I have improved its quality, it is still unable to break through the natural shackles.

If one wants to forge a precious weapon, before the various skills and skill enhancements are upgraded again, it is estimated that at least the remains of a third-grade monster or above will be needed.

Holding a long knife, Jiang Lin came to the big tree and chopped it down.

The blade cut through the skin like tofu, going more than a foot deep. Immediately afterwards, a burnt smell came.

I saw a burst of black smoke rising from the cut of the tree trunk, and the surrounding area was quickly turning black.

Jiang Lin pulled back the long knife and watched helplessly as the area within a one-meter radius centered on the incision was completely covered in black.

The burning smell was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes.

"Is this the fire poison that comes with the weapon?" Jiang Lin was quite surprised.

If it really hits a person, even if it doesn't hit a vital point, it probably won't last for half an incense stick of time.

Such an effect was simply shocking. Jiang Lin returned to the blacksmith shop, picked up one of the arrows that was also of the upper second grade, and shot it out.

The thick tree trunk suddenly trembled violently and was pierced through completely, and the burning smell became stronger.

Jiang Lin raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The power was far beyond his expectations. Even if a sixth- or seventh-grade martial arts master came, he would be killed on the spot.

No wonder those people in the martial arts world all want a good weapon. Having a good weapon in hand can really greatly improve one's combat power.

[Skill 4: Archery Lv1 (Proficiency 4/30)]

Walking over and picking up the arrow, looking at the bowl-sized hole on the tree trunk, Jiang Lin couldn't help but wonder, is he considered a master now?
He has the strength of the fifth rank in martial arts, but his energy far exceeds that rank, plus he has a second-rank weapon with fire poison attached.

"Now I have some ability to protect myself, but when dealing with people from the underworld, it is far from enough to intimidate them with bows and arrows. It would be great if I could have some self-defense sword techniques."

Jiang Lin thought so.

Archery can be one of the skills, and swordsmanship should be possible as well.

I just don't know what the triggering conditions are. At least he was swinging the sword himself, or watching others swinging the sword, and no new skills were generated.

I think it must require some kind of opportunity or special requirements.

But for Jiang Lin, this is not the most important thing.

Originally, he could only forge ironware of the middle fifth grade, or at most the middle fourth grade, but with the addition of the demon python's fangs, he was able to directly upgrade it to the upper second grade.

Such an improvement is indeed huge.

It also made Jiang Lin more determined to obtain the materials from those underworld people.

Even if the quality of these materials is not very good, it is better to have them than nothing.

After returning to the blacksmith shop and packing up carefully, Jiang Lin went back to rest.

The next day.

He was woken up again early in the morning. It was Jiang Xiu standing under the big tree, looking at the charred and smelly tree trunk with a look of surprise on her face.

Nearly one-third of the branches were black, and leaves were scattered all over the ground.

Such a big change overnight, coupled with the hole the size of a bowl, made her think that something bad had happened.

It was not until Jiang Lin came out to explain that he was testing weapons that Jiang Xiu could not help but say with some pain: "Brother, this tree was planted by our father himself. He was thinking of cutting it down and selling it for money in the future."

Jiang Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. How could he have known that these were planted by his family? If he had known, he would have gone to a place far away to deal with the trouble.

However, neither Jiang Xiu nor his father Jiang Qingguang intended to blame him.

My son has a promising future, so it’s okay if he makes some mistakes occasionally.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Lin went back to the house to pack his bags.

He stuffed the cloth bag containing the silver under the quilt and gave it to his parents and sister in person, but his parents and sister were unwilling to accept it, so this was the only way.

When I came out with my luggage, my family was already standing there waiting for me.

Knowing that he was leaving, Jiang Qingguang and his wife didn't say anything. But Jiang Xiu cried her heart out and was reluctant to let him go.

It was not until Wang Hua pulled her away that Jiang Lin walked out of the village amid the farewells of her family.

After walking a long way, he turned around and still saw several people standing in front of the house.

It seemed that no matter where he went, that concerned gaze would always follow him.

Jiang Lin put the package on his shoulder, waved vigorously at the figures, then turned around and strode forward.

After his figure disappeared for a long time, Jiang Xiucai wiped his tears and went back to the house.

When I arrived at the room where Jiang Lin had slept, I could faintly smell the scent of a man.

Jiang Xiu walked to the bedding and habitually reached out to tidy it up, but she touched something.

When I opened it, I saw it was a cloth bag. After opening it, the white silver inside caught my eye.

She was stunned for a moment, but there was not much joy in her eyes. Instead, she hugged the cloth bag and cried again.

　I have something to do today, so the next two updates will be around 5:30 pm.
