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

Chapter 256: Everything Has Its Own Trace

"Same roots and same origins...so Yuanwu realm masters can draw the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth!"

"So there is an essential difference between the Yuanwu Realm and the peak of martial arts!"

"The difference between precious weapons and ordinary weapons should be the same. To draw on the vital energy of heaven and earth, the weapon itself must first draw in the vital energy of heaven and earth to achieve the effect of having the same origin!"

"I see. This is the material that cannot be found in any industry anywhere in the world. This is a secret recipe that cannot be changed no matter how good the material or how advanced the craftsmanship is!"

Jiang Lin spoke faster and faster, and the expression on his face became more and more excited. Qi the blacksmith next to him was stunned and confused.

"Master Jiang, what are you doing..."

"Master Qi, I may know what the secret recipe of Baobing is!" Jiang Lin said excitedly.

"Ah? How did you find it? Are those words you just said?" Blacksmith Qi was even more confused.

He was not a master of the Yuanwu realm, nor had he forged any precious weapons. He knew nothing about the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, so it was naturally difficult for him to understand.

Jiang Lin knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply gave up and directly turned on the furnace, lit the fire, and stuffed a large piece of pig iron into it.

The high temperature of 3,500 degrees made the pig iron burn red in the blink of an eye. Jiang Lin no longer needed to care about the quality.

After taking the pig iron out of the furnace, Jiang Lin flicked his fingers and a wisp of heaven and earth energy popped out from between his fingers.

However, it did not melt into the pig iron as he had expected. Instead, it caused sparks to fly and almost broke the pig iron.

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows. Not at this stage?

He picked up the sledgehammer again, attached the essence of heaven and earth to the hammer head and began to hammer.

As a result, the pig iron shattered with one blow of the hammer.

It is not a tempering stage either.

Jiang Lin tried quenching, sharpening and other steps, but the results were no different.

By the time all the steps were completed, the pig iron had been destroyed beyond recognition.

Qi the blacksmith was watching from the side and couldn't help asking, "Master Jiang, what's going on?"

He was extremely looking forward to it. If he could really crack the secret recipe of the precious weapon, he would be able to break through the "technical blockade" of the powerful clans.

Even if you don't have the ability to forge a precious weapon, you will feel happy just by looking at it.

"No." Jiang Lin shook his head, his eyes showing a thoughtful look: "The heaven and earth energy can attach to other objects to enhance their strength, but it cannot be passively integrated into the pig iron. Is it a problem with the material itself, or is there something wrong with my steps?"

"The material should not be the main reason. The quality of pig iron fired in the Hengyu furnace is stronger than that of Xuanjing Iron. There is no reason why it cannot be the case."

"That's the question of steps... which steps? Or is there any unique technique involved?"

As Jiang Lin thought about it, his gaze gradually shifted to the Hengyu furnace.

The tall furnace is as stable as Mount Tai, as if nothing can shake it.

For some reason, when Jiang Lin saw the Hengyu Furnace, he naturally thought of melting all things and enhancing his own characteristics.

From a certain perspective, the Hengyu Furnace's ability to melt everything is very similar to the answer Jiang Lin is looking for, both of which are to incorporate external objects into oneself.

So, how does Hengyu Furnace do it?
Jiang Lin walked around the stove, throwing in a few things from time to time to try.

All materials that enter the furnace will be quickly melted by the high temperature and then swallowed up, becoming a part of itself. This is the main reason why the Hengyu furnace continues to grow.

After repeating it dozens of times, Jiang Lin suddenly felt something unusual.

That is, every time the Hengyu Furnace devours materials, the surrounding heaven and earth energy will also fluctuate slightly.

To be more precise, it was absorbed by the Hengyu Furnace.

It’s as if the ingredients are the rice, and the vitality of heaven and earth is the side dish.

Jiang Lin felt that the answer in his mind became clearer and was about to come out!
Melt, devour, grow...

"Among so many precious weapons and spiritual weapons, only the Hengyu Furnace has the ability to melt everything and strengthen itself. Is it a coincidence?"

"No, there are no coincidences in this world. Everything has its traces!"

Jiang Lin stared at the high-temperature flame in the furnace for a long time with a deep look in his eyes. Suddenly, he picked up a large piece of pig iron and threw it in, while at the same time pressing one hand on the furnace body.

"Master Jiang, be careful!" Blacksmith Qi reminded subconsciously.

The temperature was over 3,000 degrees, and he felt his whole body burning hot even when he was two meters away, as if he would burn at any time.

Jiang Lin put his hand on it, which made people worry.

Jiang Lin, however, remained unmoved and turned a deaf ear to it. With a thought, a large amount of heaven and earth energy was mobilized, but it did not attach to the furnace body, but was poured into the furnace body.

Just like the air constantly injected into a bellows, the vital energy of heaven and earth floats freely in the furnace cavity.

The pig iron had been burned red, until it was blinding, but Jiang Lin did not stop his actions and just stared at it.

After a while, the pig iron began to melt into molten iron. During this process, a large amount of impurities were constantly stripped off and swallowed by the Hengyu furnace.

As he stared at it intently, Jiang Lin keenly felt that the vital energy of heaven and earth in the furnace had decreased a little bit.

It was a very, very small change. If all his perception had not been focused here, he would have probably ignored it.

But Jiang Lin did not let go of even the slightest change. He continued to inject the energy of heaven and earth until the pig iron was completely melted into molten iron and even began to boil.

When the boiling phenomenon occurs, the vital energy of heaven and earth within the furnace also rapidly decreases, as if it were sucked away by something.

Jiang Lin's eyes were extremely bright as he stared at the molten iron until the boiling phenomenon gradually disappeared. He immediately removed his hand from the furnace body and at the same time reached his palm into the furnace body, wrapping the molten iron with the essence of heaven and earth and taking it out.

The piece of pig iron, which was originally the size of a head, was now shrunk several times and was held in Jiang Lin's palm.

Seeing this scene, Qi the blacksmith opened his mouth wide.

This is truly amazing and breathtaking!

A line of information appeared in Jiang Lin's field of vision.

“Pig iron of acceptable quality”

Jiang Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It works! This is the secret recipe for the treasure weapon, so that's it!"

Blacksmith Qi was pleasantly surprised but also confused. How did it work?
I didn't see anything being added to it, or anything being done.

He did feel the oppressive feeling when the essence of heaven and earth was injected into the furnace, but he didn't think about it in that way.

Hearing Jiang Lin's words, Qi the Blacksmith came up to him and asked, "Master Jiang, have you cracked the secret formula for the treasure weapon?"

"That's right, now this piece of pig iron can be used to make precious weapons!" Jiang Lin said with a smile, "The so-called secret recipe for precious weapons requires the blacksmith to use his own energy to attract the energy of heaven and earth and boil the materials in the furnace. In this way, the boiling materials can absorb the rich energy of heaven and earth around them, thus breaking through the limits of ordinary weapons!"

"The reason why ordinary blacksmiths can't forge precious weapons is because the furnace baking method they practice is too slow, and almost no one can reach the Yuanwu realm. Blacksmiths who are not in the Yuanwu realm cannot forge precious weapons. This is the secret recipe!"

Qi the blacksmith was stunned after hearing this. Only those who are at the Yuanwu realm can forge a precious weapon?
It's that simple?
But if you think about it, it’s not simple at all.

Just as Jiang Lin said, the speed of practicing the furnace baking method is too slow. Yu Maoming, who is only at the fifth level of martial arts, is already the number one in the Foundry Department.

Looking at the world, even if he is several times stronger than him, what does it matter? 8th rank in martial arts? 9th rank?
Even if one really reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, it is still not the Yuanwu realm!
It is very difficult for people who specialize in martial arts to reach the Yuanwu realm.

As one of the top six forces in the martial arts world, Thunder Eagle Fort only has one person who has achieved the Yuanwu realm. Does he lack resources? Does he lack skills? Does he lack time?

Even if you have everything you need, it's still difficult to be like this, let alone a blacksmith who is busy forging iron every day.

So after this so-called secret recipe was cracked, it is indeed simple to say, but to say it is difficult, it is really as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Just the fact that he has reached the Yuanwu realm is enough to kill 99% of the blacksmiths.

Blacksmith Qi sighed and said, "No wonder the powerful clans want to win over talented blacksmiths. Most people really can't think of this."

Jiang Lin nodded secretly. He was able to crack the secret recipe of the precious weapon partly because his skills were too superb and he could easily rule out this possibility.

If it were any other blacksmith, he would probably just think that his skills were not good enough.

On the other hand, because he had reached the Yuanwu realm, he had some understanding of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

According to previous perception, ordinary second- and third-grade Yuanwu Realm warriors would probably find it difficult to detect such subtle changes.

Fortunately, I have reached the eighth level of Yuanwu Realm!

Blacksmith Qi looked at the pool of molten iron and felt that it was a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "After this pig iron was integrated into the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, although it is still pig iron, its essence has undergone earth-shaking changes. In my opinion, it should be called Yuan Iron."

"Primordial iron? Raw iron with vitality? It seems to be quite interesting." Qi the blacksmith's eyes were burning, and he asked, "This piece of raw... this piece of primordial iron can be used to make a precious weapon? Lord Jiang, do you want to try it?"

He said he wanted Jiang Lin to try it, but actually he was just curious.

Jiang Lin laughed. He had the same idea.

At present, everything is still in theory, and whether it is true as speculated still needs to be verified through trials.

At this point, the temperature of the molten iron has dropped and is in a semi-solidified state. With Jiang Lin's skills, he can easily shape it with his hands before it is fully solidified.

But considering the various benefits brought by hammering, he gave up the effort-saving approach.

After it solidifies a little more, he picked up the sledgehammer and started hammering it.

After the first hammer strike, Jiang Lin felt a clear difference.

Even though it has only just solidified, the feel of this piece of primordial iron when being hammered is already completely different.

Harder and more resilient.

Hitting it with a hammer of the previous grade actually made people feel a little strenuous, just like hitting a stone with a wooden hammer.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin had enough strength, far more than ordinary people, otherwise his arms would have gone numb from the shock after only a few hits.

[Improve the quality of acceptable pig iron by 1%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

……

Level 9 Yun Jin Cheng Feng increases the probability of reaching the Hundred Refinements level to %. Combined with the comprehensive amplification effect of the Baking Furnace Method, the actual probability should be above %.

Almost every two hammers, or at most three hammers, a prompt will appear indicating that the Hundred Refining Levels have increased.

Jiang Lin was excited. If it could be proven that he could forge a precious weapon, its quality would probably be incredibly high!
