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

Chapter 24 Furnace Method Upgrade

Yuan Gaohao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Master Sijiang, fifteen years ago, Jueyuan Dao colluded with foreign bandits and was destroyed. Now Xuanhua Dao has also suddenly rebelled. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to use this to..."

"Shut up!" Yu Maoming stopped and said with a stern look, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yuan Gaohao's expression tensed up, and he subconsciously looked around, then hurriedly folded his hands and said, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn, please forgive me, Master Craftsman."

Yu Maoming took a deep breath, walked over and held Yuan Gaohao's shoulders.

His arms were thick and the blood vessels on them were like thousand-year-old tree roots.

"Remember, we are just blacksmiths, no matter what happens in the outside world, we don't need to worry about it! If you know too much, think too much, and talk too much, you may die!"

Yuan Gaohao's body trembled slightly, and sweat appeared on his temples: "Yes, I understand."

……

At this time, Jiang Lin had already come to the dining tent surrounded by apprentices. Zhao Yankui and other old blacksmiths had already eaten most of their food and left one after another.

Jiang Lin stepped forward to clean up as usual, but many apprentices took the initiative to do so.

"Master Jiang, how can we let you do this? We will do it. We will do it."

Seeing these people eager to show their kindness, Jiang Lin did not act pretentiously. If someone was willing to help, why should he stop them?

Old Man Wei was not surprised at all. He brought a bowl of rice and said, "Zhao Yankui praised you for a long time."

Jiang Lin took the bowl, still smiling modestly.

There was a lot of broth left over from today's meal, as if Dong Songchang and the others had left without eating.

Jiang Lin knew why. Losing a few hundred taels of silver was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal.

It's normal to be so angry that you can't eat.

The apprentices were quite happy. Firstly, they passed the test, and secondly, they hadn't eaten so many dishes for a long time.

They wolfed down the food until their bellies were full, and then helped clean up the dining shed before leaving.

Jiang Lin pulled Old Man Wei and took out the Qi and Blood Pill that Yu Maoming had given him, and asked, "How do I use this?"

"Qi and blood pills?" Old man Wei was well-informed and recognized it at a glance. He said, "It's best to take it directly or take it with a herbal bath."

Jiang Lin seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Old Man Wei understood what he meant and said, "I'll bring you the herbs tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Jiang Lin bowed, but he did not say that he would repay the money.

Since Old Man Wei took the initiative to pay, he naturally didn't think of asking Jiang Lin to pay anything back. Talking about money at this time would seem awkward.

Jiang Lin made up his mind that if he lived a good life in the future, he must take Old Man Wei with him!

After a brief thought, Jiang Lin asked again: "Master Wei, have you heard about the recent defeat of the border troops? It is said that it was caused by the rebellion of Xuanhua Dao, one of the three major sects. His Majesty ordered people to wipe out the remnants of Xuanhua Dao."

Old Man Wei was about to leave, but he stopped immediately when he heard this.

He turned around and asked, "Who said that?"

"That's what the Master Chef said."

Jiang Lin saw that Old Man Wei's body was trembling slightly, and there was something different in his cloudy eyes, as if there was resentment and unwillingness.

"Master Wei?"

Old Man Wei suddenly came to his senses, loosened his clenched hands, slowly exhaled, and looked at Jiang Lin.

"If you don't want to die, you must never leave the blacksmith camp!" Old Man Wei suddenly said.

Jiang Lin was puzzled and wanted to ask why he said that, but Old Man Wei had already turned and left.

Looking at his staggering steps, Jiang Lin was full of confusion.

If you don't want to die, can't you leave the blacksmith camp?
Is the world outside dangerous?
Jiang Lin keenly felt that the reason why Old Man Wei said this was closely related to the defeat of the border troops and the rebellion of Xuanhua Dao, but he could not guess what exactly had happened.

But he had an unspeakable sense of crisis in his heart, and he did not feel this way even when he was targeted by Dong Songchang.

It seemed as if there was a great danger lurking around, ready to erupt at any time and swallow people whole.

This sense of crisis made Jiang Lin feel a little uneasy.

"Your position is too low, and you are not qualified to know some secrets!" Jiang Lin turned his head and looked in the direction of the blacksmith shop, his eyes flickering. After a moment, his eyes gradually became firm, and he quickly left the dining shed and ran towards the blacksmith shop.

Since your status is too low and you don’t even know your own safety, what else can you think about!
Seize the time to improve your abilities and enhance your status.

I don’t ask for anything else, at least when danger comes, I won’t die in confusion!
He brought over a few weapons and Jiang Lin took a quick look.

[Poor quality long sword, with 279 defects]

[Ordinary long sword, a total of 258 defects]

[Ordinary long swords, total number is...]

Jiang Lin put the inferior long sword aside, took the ordinary long sword to the furnace for tempering and re-forging.

He wants to upgrade the oven technique to level 2 tonight!
Soon, the sound of clinking was heard from the blacksmith shop.

With the skill of seeing the big picture from the small details, Jiang Lin knocked at those black spots one by one. Not long after, the collection progress of fire essence was full and the gold essence was also upgrading rapidly.

After more than half an hour, all the defects of the long sword were eliminated.

【Long sword of average quality】

Another high-quality weapon was born, but Jiang Lin threw it aside without even looking at it, and picked up the ordinary long sword to go back into the furnace.

Accompanied by the tinkling sounds, more than half an hour passed, and Jiang Lin suddenly had a different feeling.

There was a tremendous pressure all around, as if sticky mud was wrapping me up, making it almost impossible to breathe.

He did not panic, but stood there and waited for developments.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, the sticky feeling quickly weakened. To be more precise, it was all absorbed into the body.

The burning sensation was like swallowing a large piece of red-hot iron. Jiang Lin couldn't help but groan and almost cried out in pain.

Soon my body felt like it was stuffed into a high-temperature furnace. The pain of my skin, flesh, and even my soul being burned was truly astonishing.

Jiang Lin clenched his teeth tightly, and refused to make a sound even though his mouth and nose were bleeding.

It's so painful, it's really hard to bear.

Every minute and every second feels like a year.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Lin finally felt the pain gradually ease, and then his body became more and more light-headed.

The sudden feeling of comfort diluted all the pain.

After a while, all the feelings disappeared, Jiang Lin opened his eyes, but found a blood-red scene in front of him.

I reached out and touched it, only to find out it was a blood scab.

If there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would definitely be shocked by himself. His whole body was covered with dark red blood scabs, and his clothes were charred and tattered as if they had been burned.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but glance at his own information.
