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

Chapter 243 You are the pig iron in the furnace
The two big men simply agreed on Jiang Lin's "belonging".

To put it simply, Jiang Lin will not march with the border troops and will nominally belong to the Ministry of Works.

If he really made any contribution to Your Majesty, it was from the Ministry of Works.

But if Jiang Lin wants to work for the border troops, the Ministry of Works cannot stop him.

In a word, the border troops won't compete with you for the credit, so you don't have to bother talking to me anymore.

When Liao Mingxu returned to the Nanling camp, he was immediately surrounded by Cai Yanting and others, asking about the outcome of the trip.

Liao Mingxu was very depressed and said, "I don't know what happened to the general. He just cursed a few words at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry and then called off the troops. It's really annoying!"

"Just a few curses?" Cai Yanting and others were shocked. This was not like the style of the border troops.

A group of people talked about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out why it was like this.

How could they know that although Jiang Lin was able to forge mid-grade spiritual weapons, he was a rare talent.

But in the eyes of real big shots, he is just a tool to accomplish tasks.

Marshal Yu also valued talents and left a portion of the power to "work" for the border troops.

To put it bluntly, although he admired him, in the eyes of this marshal, Jiang Lin was far inferior to those border soldiers who fought for Daqian and risked their lives.

Therefore, it is not a loss to exchange it with the Ministry of Industry for a huge benefit.

Of course, the most important thing is that if Jiang Lin can make a few more progress, he can be used by Your Majesty.

The border troops can ignore what the Ministry of Works thinks, but they still have to respect Your Majesty’s needs.

Similarly, Jiang Lin had no idea that everything he was worried about was just a bargaining chip used by Yu Shuai to bargain with the Ministry of Industry.

If you knew, you wouldn't feel that you were so unkind.

At this time, Jiang Lin returned to the blacksmith shop while Qi the blacksmith was preparing wine and food.

He picked up the eight-stone hard bow, put a medium-grade spiritual weapon feather arrow on the bow, and then aimed into the distance.

The field of vision continued to extend from two thousand meters before the breakthrough to about seven thousand meters!
It doesn't sound very far, but in fact it is more than ten miles away.

The gray line stretched further and was clearer than before.

Standing in the blacksmith camp, Jiang Lin could shoot and kill people under the city of Kyoto, which was already very terrifying.

The eight-stone hard bow that had required a lot of effort in the past now seemed effortless in his hands.

While aiming, Jiang Lin could clearly feel the vitality of heaven and earth constantly gathering and attaching to the arrow.

Although it was not actually shot, his intuition told him that this arrow would be extremely terrifying.

A master in the Yuanwu realm can draw on the vital energy of heaven and earth to increase the power of weapons above the treasure level. This reputation is not undeserved.

What's more, Jiang Lin's current cultivation has reached the seventh level of Yuanwu Realm. In the entire Daqian, he can be considered a master.

At this moment, he heard a "click" and his hand suddenly loosened.

However, the eight-stone hard bow could not withstand the huge energy of heaven and earth and the huge force in his hand, and was directly broken.

Jiang Lin caught the fallen feather arrow with one hand, then looked at the broken bow, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"My current strength is probably more than ten thousand jin, and a mere eight stones is not enough. Even a twenty-stone strong bow is not enough."

Among the many martial arts he has mastered, Jiang Lin now feels that archery is the most useful.

There is no need to fight the enemy desperately, you can kill him with one arrow from a distance.

But with his current abilities, he needs to at least be equipped with a large bow of precious or even spiritual weapon grade.

Otherwise, not to mention the strength, the energy of heaven and earth attached to the feather arrow alone is enough to break the bow.

Forging a bow and arrow is not a big deal for a blacksmith.

However, although Jiang Lin had the skills, he was short of materials.

Both the bow and the bowstring need to be of very high quality, and the Foundry Department definitely doesn't have such good stuff. "I wonder if the Ministry of Industry has it?" Jiang Lin thought, and when he had time, he had to go find Yan Tianrong to ask.

Then, Jiang Lin looked at the Hengyu Furnace again.

The fifth branch of the Lingmiao Treasure Tree was lit up by about one thousandth, which was still a long way from the next promotion.

At the current grade, it is difficult to increase the grade by ordinary fire smelting, unless the furnace is filled with good things such as the Black Moon Knife and the Mysterious Spirit Flying Umbrella.

"The outside world doesn't seem to value these fragments. If I ask Zuowanglou to buy the fragments for me, I wonder if it will be feasible?"

“If we can collect a large number of high-quality fragments, the quality of the Hengyu Furnace, the improvement of the fire-making skills, and even the collection of fire essences will all be accelerated!”

"But if you want to buy it, you have to prepare some money in advance."

After thinking for a while, Blacksmith Qi came over and said, "Master Jiang, the wine and food are ready, please take a look..."

Jiang Lin looked at the blacksmith who had taught him the trade, and wanted to say that they were all family members and there was no need to be so polite.

But what he saw in Qi the blacksmith's eyes was not only respect, but also awe and worship.

Jiang Lin immediately understood that even if he deliberately lowered his posture, these old acquaintances would no longer speak to him the same way as before.

As your status changes, some people and things will also change accordingly.

From Jiang Lin at the beginning, to Master Jiang, to Grand Master, and now to Lord Jiang, he is no longer the apprentice who could be laughed at by anyone.

If you continue to dwell on the past, you will only appear to be overly pretentious.

Jiang Lin walked out of the blacksmith shop, smiled at Blacksmith Qi, and said, "Then let's eat."

This banquet was a celebration for Jiang Lin, and also a recognition by everyone of his complete transformation in identity.

No one would feel awkward to call him Lord Jiang anymore. Instead, they would rush to toast him and offer all kinds of compliments.

After the meal, Jiang Lin's position in the Southern Blacksmith Camp was completely consolidated.

Those who joined later are now extremely excited.

The old masters from the Southern Blacksmith Camp might still be concerned about their qualifications and feel embarrassed to flatter too much.

These people had no scruples and flattered loudly.

Who said that blacksmiths can't speak? Looking at these people, you can tell that they don't speak normally because they just don't have the chance to speak.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Lin returned to the house reeking of alcohol, but he was not drunk at all.

The seventh level of Yuanwu Realm not only brings an increase in strength, but also an extremely good drinking capacity.

Old man Wei came over and reminded him, "Don't drink too much."

"Well, it's a rare opportunity." Jiang Lin paused, then asked, "Do you think that my appointment to the Ministry of Industry is unfair to the border troops?"

"Do you feel guilty?" asked Old Man Wei.

"A little bit." Jiang Lin nodded.

Old Man Wei turned around and closed the door, saying calmly, "It's so late, and the Ministry of War hasn't sent anyone to look for you."

Jiang Lin was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"In this world, there is nothing that the border troops cannot get as long as they want it." Old Man Wei turned around and walked towards the house: "Since no one came to look for it, it means that the Ministry of Works has won it, but I don't know what it paid for."

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he actually understood what was said.

The Ministry of Works paid a price and made the Ministry of War give up on it.

Old Man Wei pushed open his own door. Before entering, he paused and said, "Your current status is no different from the pig iron in the furnace. At most, it is just pig iron of better quality. There is no need to feel guilty."

Jiang Lin sat on the chair and didn't say a word for a long time as he watched Old Man Wei enter the house and close the door.
