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

Chapter 25: Iron Body (Second update, please read later)
His body was covered in blood scabs, with the skin stuck to his clothes.

Jiang Lin rubbed his arms casually, and there was a rustling sound.

When blood clots mixed with charred clothing fragments fell to the ground, Jiang Lin saw that his skin was darker than before, like a piece of hammered iron.

With an idea in mind, he reached out and picked up the low-quality long knife, gripping the blade with his five fingers and exerting force continuously.

As the force increased, the blade began to deform and pain began to spread through the fingertips.

Jiang Lin then loosened his hand, leaving deep marks on his fingers but no real scratches.

Looking at the long knife again, the blade had been twisted and was no longer as smooth as before.

Then Jiang Lin picked up the hammer and hit it a few times, or clamped his flesh with pliers. After tossing around for a while, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

From a mortal body to an iron body, the strength increased by at least 30%. The hammer weighing more than ten pounds in the hand is not as light as a feather, but it is almost the same.

The muscles are stronger, and without force, the blade cannot leave a wound on the body, just like practicing hard qigong.

Jiang Lin ran to the stove he often used and measured, confirming that his height had also increased by at least five centimeters.

It is worthy of being called the furnace method. Just one upgrade can bring so many changes.

Although he could not reach Yu Maoming's level of being able to hurt people with just his aura for the time being, Jiang Lin was still delighted. This meant that he could at least have a certain ability to protect himself when being besieged by ordinary people.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a headache after just glancing at the conditions for the next upgrade.

According to previous experience, to forge a high-quality weapon independently, one would need to collect about 15 points of gold essence. With 1000 gold essences, one would need at least sixty or seventy weapons.

At his current speed, from starting the fire to completing the casting, not to mention the subsequent quenching and sharpening, it would take more than half an hour.

How many weapons can be made in a day?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but focus his attention on the weapons waiting to be transported away. Although the number might need to be increased to more than a hundred, it would save the time for firewood burning and preliminary hammering.

No matter how you calculate it, using weapons forged by others to eliminate defects is the fastest way to collect gold essence.

After a quick calculation, Jiang Lin no longer hesitated and immediately went over to pick up a long sword of ordinary quality.

It took nearly two hours to eliminate all the defects of the previous inferior long sword.

【Long sword of average quality】

[Long sword of very poor quality]

There are certain differences in the final evaluation information, average quality and very poor quality. In Jiang Lin’s understanding, they probably mean acceptable quality and close to acceptable quality.

There was also a difference in the amount of gold essence collected by the two swords after their defects were eliminated. The one with average quality gave him 9 points of gold essence, while the one with very poor quality only had 5.3. The difference is almost twice as much.

But the time taken to use the two knives is not much different.

"It seems that even if you use other people's weapons to eliminate defects, the better the foundation, the more gold essence you can collect. I just don't know how many times I need to upgrade to reach the level of Master Craftsman." Jiang Lin said to himself.

At this time, he was already a little exhausted and had to go back to rest.

The journey cannot be completed in one day, no matter how anxious you are, you have to take it slow.

I returned to the dining tent, boiled a pot of water, and took a nice hot bath, washing off all the blood scabs on my body. I then felt refreshed.

The indescribable feeling of comfort made Jiang Lin feel like he could kill a tiger right now!
Thinking of other blacksmiths' disdainful comments on the furnace baking method, Jiang Lin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth while lying on the thatch.

Who says that the ancestor only wanted to earn face for the blacksmiths? This furnace baking method is really powerful!

As long as you persist in creating high-quality weapons, sooner or later you will become a god-like figure!

The next day.

Old Man Wei was carrying a bunch of herbs. Seeing Jiang Lin holding a stick in his mouth, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

One end of the wooden stick had been bitten into pieces. Jiang Lin chewed it dryly and said embarrassedly, "I'm so hungry, and I can't find anything to eat." After the excitement last night, he felt extremely hungry and was so groggy that he didn't sleep well all night.

I got up early in the morning to steam the rice. As the aroma of rice became stronger and stronger, I felt even hungrier.

There was no choice but to find a wooden stick to use as a chicken leg to satisfy my hunger.

Old Man Wei glanced at the rice steamer and asked, "Why don't you steam some for yourself?"

Jiang Lin said: "This is the rice from the Blacksmith Camp. You can't use it at will."

Old Man Wei was silent for a moment, then threw the herbs over: "You have a stupid mind."

Jiang Lin laughed dryly. No matter whether it was elm or some other kind of wood, it was not something that belonged to him and he could not use it carelessly.

Being hungry for a while is a small matter, but breaking principles is a big matter.

"Master Wei, is this herb used in conjunction with the Qi and Blood Pill?" Jiang Lin asked curiously.

Old Man Wei said, "I made some for myself tonight."

"Thank you, Master Wei." Jiang Lin stuffed the herbs into the thatch pile, then ran over to unload the cabbage and started working.

Not long after, Zhao Yankui and others arrived. When they saw Jiang Lin, they all said, "Hey, Jiang Lin, why did you get so dark overnight?"

"Yes, it feels like I've grown a lot taller."

Jiang Lin brought Zhao Yankui's bowl of rice and said, "Maybe he's been eating well lately and is growing fast."

Zhao Yankui picked up the rice bowl, looked Jiang Lin up and down, and then said to Old Man Wei: "Old Wei, buy an extra half piece of red meat in the future and put it on my account."

He seemed to realize something, but didn't ask.

Jiang Lin hurriedly said: "Master, how can this be good..."

"Stop talking nonsense and eat whatever you are given." Zhao Yangkui said.

Blacksmith Qi was the most familiar with Jiang Lin. He smiled and said, "Jiang Lin, stop working and bring some food over to eat together."

The other blacksmiths heard this and did not object.

Although according to the rules, Jiang Lin, as an apprentice, could not eat at the same table with the blacksmith, but no matter where you are, you should pay attention to the social etiquette.

Jiang Lin is Zhao Yankui's apprentice. His performance yesterday was praised by the master craftsman. He will be successful sooner or later. There is no need to stick to those small rules and offend such a promising young man.

However, Jiang Lin said without hesitation: "No, chefs, please eat slowly and call me when you are done."

Before Qi the blacksmith could say anything, Zhao Yankui said, "Okay, this kid is willing to follow the rules, so eat yours."

Although he said that, everyone could see that Zhao Yankui admired Jiang Lin very much.

There are so many people in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, let alone the apprentices, even among the blacksmiths, how many of them have eaten the red meat bought by Zhao Yankui?

And she buys it every day. She loves him even more than her own son!
Not long after, Dong Songchang and his group also arrived.

Jiang Lin didn't need to do anything, as the attentive blacksmith naturally took the initiative to go and get food.

However, after bringing it over, Dong Songchang only took a look at it, then grabbed it and threw it at Old Man Wei.

The hot soup and hot food poured all over Old Man Wei, but Dong Songchang showed no apology. Instead, he pointed at his nose and cursed, "Old man, who are you trying to fool with this pig food? Did you use the money given by the blacksmith camp to feed the dog?"

Jiang Lin turned around and saw that Old Man Wei was in pain from being burned. He was immediately furious and glared at Dong Songchang: "The food in the Blacksmith Camp has always been like this. You know you are unhappy with me, so why do you want to involve others!"
