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

Chapter 219 Frog in the Well
For any kind of ironware, if the two materials cannot be integrated, they will form layers, which will increase the probability of cracking.

Whether in terms of flexibility or hardness, it is far inferior to a single material.

Therefore, although the pouring steel method is easy to use, it is only limited to pig iron and wrought iron.

Few blacksmiths would use the fusion of materials of different grades.

Naturally, Jiang Lin's actions puzzled the blacksmiths, but they did not dare to comment.

Because he is the only blacksmith in the entire foundry who can forge precious weapons!
Even without mentioning the precious weapons, the top-grade ironware is unique.

jingle——

jingle——

The monotonous and familiar sound of hammering has become Jiang Lin's unique rhythm.

No one thought there was anything wrong with the sound anymore. Instead, they increasingly felt its unique charm and rhythm. Some apprentices were even trying to master this special rhythm.

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities is improved by 1%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities is improved by 5%]

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities has been improved by 15%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

……

With a series of prompts, the outline of the long knife took shape quickly, and then it was leveled with a small hammer.

Both the blacksmith and the apprentice were watching intently.

Level 8 Yun Jin Cheng Feng not only brings various enhancements, but also pushes Jiang Lin's hammering skills to a level that is almost unmatched.

At least in the Foundry Department, no one can compare with his hammering skills, even Yu Maoming would feel ashamed of himself.

Now that Jiang Lin has proposed the last-in-first-out system, many motivated masters have come to him to communicate and learn.

Even the old masters are like this, let alone the apprentices.

Many people wanted to become Jiang Lin's apprentice, but no matter whether they valued his status or his skills, Jiang Lin refused to accept them all.

I am so busy with making things every day that I don’t have time to train apprentices.

After a while of hammering, the long sword had completed the basic forging.

After returning to the furnace for heating, take it out and quench it.

[Perfect quenching, improve the quality of castings by 15%]

Amid the sizzling sounds, Jiang Lin saw that there were still only eight entropy patterns on the blade of the long sword.

Blacksmith Qi had already come over and asked expectantly, "How is it? Is it done?"

"No." Jiang Lin took a deep breath and did not sharpen the blade. Instead, he put it back into the furnace and heated it together with the black crystal iron.

Since it is not enough right now, I will try the amplifying effect of fusion forging.

It is another new tempering process, but the final result is still disappointing.

The eight entropy patterns were extremely bright, and the entire blade was glowing with a bluish-white light. Even though it hadn't been sharpened yet, it was already chilling.

[Average quality long sword, sharpness +4, holder's health recovery +3, with thunderous impact]

As expected, sharpness and life recovery are increased, and there is also a special effect, thunder impact.

The only hope now is to sharpen it and then return it to the furnace for forging, but that is only a one percent chance, so Jiang Lin doesn't have much hope.

Qi the blacksmith and the others looked a little disappointed, but then they thought, this is at least a top-grade long sword, the limit of ordinary weapons.

"It is said that the remains of a third-grade monster can stimulate ancestral power. I wonder what special features Master Jiang's knife has?" Qi the blacksmith asked. This was a deliberate attempt to divert attention, but he was also genuinely curious.

No one in the blacksmith camp has ever been able to forge a precious weapon with their own hands, and no one has ever seen what a weapon looks like after incorporating the remains of a third-grade monster.

Jiang Lin also wanted to try out the effect of the thunder impact, so he walked out with a knife in his hand.

The many masters and apprentices who were watching quickly made way for him, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Lin walked to the open space.

Someone has already brought in a knife-testing stone, the kind that is three feet thick.

Ever since they knew that Jiang Lin was capable of forging top-grade weapons, the knife-testing stones sent by the Foundry Department were all of this type of large size. It was said that they had also prepared a few thicker ones that could be delivered at any time.

There was nothing to prepare. After the apprentices who were carrying the knife-testing stones stepped aside, Jiang Lin just swung his knife and chopped.

This weapon with a sharpness of +2 can almost cut the whetstone in half. Now that the sharpness is +4, Jiang Lin feels that it is easier than cutting tofu.

The three-foot-thick whetstone was split in two so easily.

But this is not the end. At the same time, Jiang Lin felt an invisible force bursting out from the blade.

Boom——

The deafening noise startled everyone, and many people subconsciously looked up.

But the sky is clear, where does the thunder come from?

Then someone was horrified to see that the whetstone in front of Jiang Lin, which had been split in half, suddenly exploded for no reason.

A large amount of debris was splattered everywhere.

Even Qi the blacksmith, Yuan Bingqi and others were stunned.

The test stone is notoriously hard, so it is understandable that it was split in half by a single blow. After all, it is a top-level mortal weapon that has been infused with the remains of a third-grade monster.

But what happened to it that suddenly exploded into pieces?

Jiang Lin himself was a little surprised. Is this the thunder shock?
I originally thought it was something like sound waves, but now it seems that the sound is just a gimmick, and the invisible impact that follows is really scary.

Even the sword-testing stone was blown up like this. If it hit a person, even an eighth-level martial artist would be seriously injured.

Qi the blacksmith picked up the gravel on the ground and took a look at it, then ran over and asked excitedly, "Is this the ancestral power of the third-grade demon beast?"

"It should be." Jiang Lin nodded.

"This is too horrifying. No wonder third-grade monsters are rare in the market. Such a good thing might have been spotted by powerful people before it was even taken out." said Qi the blacksmith.

"It's a pity that such a powerful weapon is still not a precious weapon." Another old master said regretfully.

Yuan Bingqi said: "You also said that it is so powerful, so what difference does it make whether it is a treasure weapon or not? To put it bluntly, the treasure weapon is nothing more than the transformation of the entropy pattern into the magical treasure tree."

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Compared with top-level ordinary soldiers, what are the advantages of precious soldiers?
Isn't it just that the texture has changed?

"So, the weapons made by Master Jiang are actually weapons without the magical treasure tree?" someone asked.

"I think that's the truth!"

At this time, Blacksmith Qi shook his head and said, "You are just imagining things. If the treasure weapon is really so simple, why is the secret formula hidden here?"

Someone asked, "Does Master Qi know the difference between precious weapons and ordinary weapons?"

"I have never seen a precious weapon, so how can I know the difference?" Qi the blacksmith said calmly, "But I have heard that there is an essential difference between precious weapons and ordinary weapons. No matter how powerful an ordinary weapon is, it is still an ordinary weapon and can never become a precious weapon."

Blacksmith Qi turned to look at Jiang Lin and said, "Since Master Jiang is familiar with the military officers of the Nanling Camp, why don't you ask them what is so special about the precious soldiers? This will help us broaden our horizons and avoid being a frog in a well."
