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

Chapter 250: Low-grade Xuanbing (4K)

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lin still found it difficult to make up his mind.

The secret recipe of Baobing is difficult to crack, and good ingredients are even harder to find.

Liao Mingxu might be able to steal something from the Ministry of War once, but he might not be able to do so a second time.

If I really use it to feed the Hengyu furnace, it will be gone when I want to use it.

Jiang Lin temporarily suppressed his inner impulse, closed the box, and opened the third box.

There are some rare woods here, most of which are not of high value, and the most useful one is the Nine-Curved Divine Marrow Wood.

Most of the rest can only increase the fire temperature, which is of little significance to Jiang Lin.

His current fire control ability can allow ordinary charcoal fire to exceed the limit and reach a temperature of 3,500 degrees, and the need for ordinary exotic wood is minimal.

However, if you encounter some materials that require higher temperatures to melt, these strange woods will come in handy.

Generally speaking, these three boxes of things are useful to Jiang Lin, but because of their own special nature, their use is not very great.

After fiddling with it for a while, Jiang Lin took some of the energy that was not really needed and fed it to the Hengyu furnace, lighting it up again by about one thousandth.

At the same time, he put some of the materials into the Hengyu furnace in batches to heat and melt them, and then wrapped the mid-grade spiritual weapon-level arrows with these melted materials and began to forge them.

The special effect of fusion forging allows Jiang Lin to improve the level of cast items by fusing different materials.

He currently has more than a dozen or twenty kinds of materials in his hands, and they are all of high quality.

Jiang Lin thought very clearly. Since he didn't know what it could be used for for the time being, he might as well improve the quality of the arrowhead.

For me now, the bow and arrow is the strongest means of attack.

As for defense...if the enemy is shot to death before he reaches you, there is no need to defend.

[Good quality arrows, quality increased by 1%]

[Good quality arrows, quality increased by 10%]

[Good quality arrows, quality increased by 20%]

After being hammered over and over again, the quality of the arrowheads is constantly improving.

Based solely on the quality of the material itself, the upgrade cannot be achieved by using only one type.

To upgrade from a mid-grade spiritual weapon to a high-grade spiritual weapon, Jiang Lin used four kinds of materials.

From high-grade spiritual weapons to low-grade mysterious weapons, all the materials were used up.

[Perfect quenching, quality improved by 15%]

[Perfect sharpening, quality improved by 15%]

Picking up the arrow that had completed the forging process, Jiang Lin saw a new evaluation.

[An arrow with better quality, with the Tarsal Maggot effect, Strength +4, Fire Poison effect, Cold Poison effect, Sharpness +4, Paralysis effect, Armor Break +3...]

It can be evaluated as of good quality. In addition, six branches of the Lingmiao Treasure Tree are also lit up, indicating that the arrow has reached the level of lower-grade Xuanbing.

Just looking at the series of arrows with various effects, Jiang Lin had a very strange expression.

He also didn't expect that after fusing so many kinds of materials, the additional properties would become so diverse.

Just one arrow has nearly ten different characteristics, and many of them conflict with each other and should not appear on the same object.

Fusion forging is such a magical skill, no matter whether they conflict or not, they can be fused together.

If an ordinary blacksmith forged weapons in this way, it would have exploded countless times.

Jiang Lin glanced at the large bow placed aside, wanting to try out what the effect would be if he shot an arrow from it.

But when he turned around and saw that the people from the Construction and Repair Department were repairing the big hole he had shot before, Jiang Lin decisively gave up this plan, otherwise the Construction and Repair Department would probably scold him from dusk to dawn.

This is just the fusion of a dozen different materials. If more materials are fused in the future, how many more properties will it bring?
Jiang Lin imagined shooting the arrows for a moment, and thought the enemy's expression was funny when they saw hundreds or thousands of arrows with different characteristics coming at him at the same time.

"Master Qi said that a holy weapon called the Holy Spirit Arrow appeared hundreds of years ago. You are much stronger than it." Jiang Lin shook the arrowhead in his hand and said to himself, "I heard that when the chaos first appeared, earth, fire, wind and thunder appeared at the same time, so let's call it the Chaos Arrow?"

As he spoke, Jiang Lin looked at the big bow next to him.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. At least the arrowhead has the possibility of further upgrading. In the future, it may reach the level of a holy weapon or even a divine weapon.

But the upper limit of this bow was fixed when it was created. When I become stronger, I'm afraid I will have to change it again, so there is no need to give it a name.

Then, Jiang Lin struck while the iron was hot and used the materials at hand to forge ten lower-grade Xuanbing-level Chaos Arrows.

Although the number of mid-grade spiritual weapon arrows in his hand has reached twenty-three, the materials are limited.

What's more, Jiang Lin had to leave some for fusion forging in Hengyu furnace. Looking at the few remaining scraps, he sighed slightly. It would have to be like this for the time being.

However, with ten low-grade Xuanbing Chaos Arrows and a longbow with strength +8, Jiang Lin really wanted to know whether the peak Yuanwu Realm cultivator could withstand this arrow.

There are some people at the peak of Yuanwu realm in Kyoto City, and there are also several at the Shenwu realm who are even stronger than them.

But they were all some of the most important figures in Daqian, and Jiang Lin couldn't just go up to them with a bow and arrow and say, "Let me shoot you with an arrow to try."

Get some rare wood that is hard enough to withstand this force and make it into an arrow shaft, then install the arrowhead, and the job will be done.

Jiang Lin heated the remaining scraps and fused them with the Hengyu furnace one by one.

This method is far more effective than directly letting the Hengyu Furnace melt and devour.

Originally, the fifth branch of the Hengyu Furnace was only about 0.3% lit. After more than a dozen times of fusion forging, the lighting progress soared.

By the time Jiang Lin had used up all the materials, the fifth branch had been successfully lit!

The space nearby trembled slightly, the furnace also made a buzzing sound, and its volume began to expand continuously.

From a diameter of five meters and a height of six meters, it directly grew to a diameter of six meters and a height of eight meters!
It’s a whole circle bigger!
Even the other people in the blacksmith shop noticed the movement. They leaned over to take a look and were stunned to see the Hengyu furnace which was much taller.

It would be fine if Lord Jiang had a breakthrough on his own, but why did this furnace also grow so fast?

[A good quality furnace that can improve the quality of materials by 45%, and can refine everything to improve its own quality]

"Finally, it has reached the top-grade spiritual weapon." Jiang Lin smiled with satisfaction.

The Hengyu furnace, which had just become a treasure, could only improve the quality of materials by 15%, but now it has reached 45%, a full three times higher!
Such an improvement is truly enormous.

Looking at the sixth branch of the Lingmiao Treasure Tree, if it can be lit up, it can reach the level of lower-grade Xuanbing.

The improvement by then should be much more exaggerated than it is now.

Of course, if you want to get promoted, you will need a lot of materials.

Judging from our current experience, if we try to seize the Ministry of War three or four more times, we might be able to do so.

However, this kind of thing is hard to come by, and Jiang Lin was just thinking about it.

"Lord Jiang, it's time to eat." The voice of Qi the blacksmith came.

He no longer dared to enter this small shop casually. Every time he spoke, he stood at the door with a reserved look on his face.

Looking at the taller Hengyu furnace, Qi the blacksmith was full of curiosity and was shocked. He had never heard of a furnace growing bigger. What on earth did Lord Jiang do?
Jiang Lin naturally wouldn't explain this to others, nor did he know how to explain it.

Since Blacksmith Qi didn't ask, he pretended not to know.

I looked up and realized that it had darkened before I knew it.

Many blacksmiths and apprentices had finished a busy day's work and came out of the blacksmith shops. When they passed by this side, they stopped and looked at the tall furnace curiously, marveling at it.

Jiang Lin walked out of the shop holding a bow and arrow. Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but ask, "Master Jiang, this furnace... has it been upgraded to a higher grade?"

"Well, now it is a top-grade spiritual weapon." Jiang Lin said.

Blacksmith Qi had already thought of this possibility, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but gasp.

It is hard to imagine that in the blacksmith camp that was still worried about how to forge low-grade weapons half a year ago, a furnace that could produce top-grade spiritual weapons actually appeared.

Qi the Blacksmith could not help but say: "Only Lord Jiang can do such a thing that shocks the world and makes the gods weep."

Jiang Lin smiled and didn't say anything.

If others want to compliment him, that's their business, he doesn't need to follow suit.

Moreover, by now, Jiang Lin has become accustomed to the compliments from people around him, and he is also aware that as he continues to improve, such compliments will only increase more and more.

Blacksmith Qi took a look at the dozens of arrows in the quiver and felt something was wrong.

There seems to be something different about these arrows?
He subconsciously moved closer, and finally saw the six branches lit up on the arrow, and immediately screamed: "Low-grade Xuanbing?"

Many people came over when they heard the noise. They were startled by the blacksmith Qi and were confused as to what was going on.

What is low-grade Xuanbing?
Blacksmith Qi looked up at Jiang Lin and asked with surprise, "Master Jiang, can you forge low-grade Xuan weapons?"

Jiang Lin did not deny it and said, "It requires a lot of good materials. Only ten have been made so far, and the others are medium-grade spiritual weapons."

Blacksmith Qi didn't want to hear anything else, as long as Jiang Lin didn't deny it.

No matter whether the materials are good or not, or whether there are enough of them, no matter how much materials you give to others, they can’t do it!

Blacksmith Qi no longer knew what words to use to praise Jiang Lin.

Low-grade Xuanbing...

He was so excited that he asked hesitantly, "Master Jiang...can I, can I touch it?"

Jiang Lin nodded, took out an arrow and handed it over, saying, "Be careful, this arrow is very powerful."

Without him saying anything, Qi the blacksmith could also feel the pressure brought by the arrow.

Just one look at it and I felt the hairs on my body stand up, as if my whole body was about to explode.

Blacksmith Qi was so frightened that he took several steps back, but he didn't dare to take the arrow.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lin asked puzzledly.

Blacksmith Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jiang, please forgive me. You are a master of the Yuanwu realm, and this arrowhead was made by you yourself. I'm afraid you can't appreciate its horror."

Qi the blacksmith only has the cultivation level of the second rank in martial arts, so there is no way he can withstand the pressure from such a mysterious weapon.

The most important thing is that the Chaos Arrow created by Jiang Lin has too many special features.

It is said to be a low-grade Xuan weapon, but with so many characteristics mixed together, even a mid-grade Xuan weapon cannot be compared.

He could only watch from afar, which made Qi the blacksmith feel a little regretful, but he could do nothing about it.

If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame myself for being incompetent.

However, thanks to the high quality of the weapons he had crafted recently, he felt that his martial arts skills were beginning to improve, and he estimated that he would be able to reach the third level in the next two days.

This is the characteristic of the furnace baking method. The better the quality of the weapons created, the faster the improvement in cultivation will be.

But for ordinary blacksmiths, it is meaningless, because many people cannot even reach the entry-level quality in their entire life.

Only the iron fired by Jiang Lin can make these blacksmiths feel the beauty of the furnace baking method.

Upon learning that Jiang Lin had successfully forged a low-grade Xuanbing-level arrowhead, the entire Southern Blacksmith Camp was in an uproar, as if it were New Year's Day.

They didn't care what the masters in the Ministry of Industry thought, they only knew that Jiang Lin was from the Southern Blacksmith Camp!

Who wouldn’t be excited to have such a genius around you?

Even the people from the Construction Department and the Forestry Department were stunned when they heard it, and once again wondered if they had come to the wrong place.

This is a blacksmith camp, not the residence of a powerful clan. How could anyone forge a low-grade Xuan weapon?
There was a person who was curious and went straight to the foundry to report.

After learning about this, Yan Tianrong, Yu Maoming, Zhao Yankui and others couldn't help but rush over to join in the fun.

Jiang Lin is nominally an eighth-rank supervisor of the Foundry Department stationed by the Ministry of Industry, but everything he does here now is the credit of the Foundry Department.

Yan Tianrong also got news from his mentor Yang Junchi. He just had to wait for Jiang Lin to level up a few more times so that he could get some benefits as well.

Apart from anything else, a promotion of one level is the minimum.

As for Yu Maoming, Zhao Yankui and others, they were purely concerned about blacksmithing.

Whether it is low-grade Xuanbing or high-grade Xuanbing is not important to them.

The important thing is that someone in the blacksmith camp did it.

Yu Sijiang, who had been a blacksmith all his life, felt the pressure of the Chaos Arrow personally and his eyes turned red.

He looked at Jiang Lin for a long while, hesitant to speak, and finally turned around and slapped Zhao Yankui hard on the shoulder: "Very good!"

Lord Jiang was no longer someone he could photograph, so he could only focus his excitement on Master Zhao.

Zhao Yankui was much more excited than him, because this was his own disciple!
Not only has he become an official, but he has also created low-grade Xuan weapons.

Smoke rising from ancestral graves?
Our Zhao family’s ancestral graves are about to rise to the sky!
Yuan Bingqi, who was in the crowd, looked at this lively scene and couldn't help but think of the first time he met Jiang Lin.

At that time, Lord Jiang was just an apprentice, but he had already shown some extraordinary qualities.

But who could have imagined that it was this apprentice who would bring about such earth-shaking changes in the Southern Blacksmith Camp within a few months.

From the chief steward to the engineer and deputy engineer, they come here every few days, more frequently than going home.

When a chef saw that Yuan Bingqi didn't come forward, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Yuan, why don't you go and congratulate him? Aren't you too embarrassed to do that?"

"How can I lose face? He is Lord Jiang." Yuan Bingqi shook his head and said, "I was just thinking, if Lord Jiang continues to improve his skills, we blacksmiths may be able to regain the top spot in the 48 divisions."

The master chef was stunned when he heard it, and thought about this question instinctively, and then his eyes lit up.

It's not just possible, it's too likely!
The Foundry Department returned to the top of the forty-eight departments of Daqian, which is what all blacksmiths dream of!

The same thing only happened when the founder was still alive.

Now that the great master is gone, a Lord Jiang has emerged from the Foundry!

　I found that the grade of Hengyu furnace was wrong. The fifth branch should be a medium-grade spiritual weapon. I have made a correction. There is one chapter later. Thank you readers for subscribing!
