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

Chapter 265 Thank you for the medicine
Although it cannot be used as a daily move, it can still be used as a killer move in a critical moment.

Taking another look at the boxing skills, you are still 28% away from having your own moves.

Judging from the results of his swordsmanship, his boxing skills should also be very strong.

It seems that Tian Daheng needs to find a few more boxing secret books. When the time comes, he will use a sword technique or a boxing technique. Even if a first or second level Divine Martial Realm warrior comes, he will still have a chance to fight.

The next day.

In the afternoon, someone came to Zuowang Tower again and delivered half a cart of medicinal herbs, which were exactly the ones Jiang Lin had mentioned before.

These herbs can be used to refine a kind of elixir called Bafang Zhendan, which is recorded in the alchemist's secret book contributed by the eighth-grade martial artist.

The grade is not high and can only be used to increase the cultivation of martial arts below the ninth level. It is meaningless to Jiang Lin.

But it is most suitable for verifying alchemy.

After hammering, quenching, and sharpening the weapon in his hand, Jiang Lin simply threw the top-grade weapon that outsiders dreamed of on the iron table without even looking at it.

After cracking the secret recipe of the precious weapons, the greatest benefit of these things to Jiang Lin is to improve his proficiency in various skills.

On the contrary, those materials which are of low quality but have never been seen before are more valued.

As long as there are enough types of materials, Jiang Lin feels that even a magical weapon can be forged directly.

His completely different way of blacksmithing astounded the entire foundry.

If an ordinary blacksmith wants to forge a good weapon, the safest way is to find top-quality materials and use their own skills to achieve a higher level.

Unlike Jiang Lin, who directly uses pig iron as the base and then melts different materials to improve quality through quantity.

The principle behind this is something that many blacksmiths cannot understand.

Some people have tried it, but as soon as the three materials were integrated, the weapon became loose and cracked, and was scrapped on the spot.

Not to mention improving the quality, it would be amazing if it could not be reduced.

After many attempts, these blacksmiths completely gave up the idea of ​​catching up with Lord Jiang in the same way.

When they learned that Jiang Lin was preparing to make the elixir, many blacksmiths came to join in the fun, and some even happily organized gambling.

"Master Jiang, you can only pay me 100% if you can make the elixir? Then who would want to bet with you? It's meaningless. If you have the guts, pay me 100% and I'll bet my entire coffin on it!"

"Total failure, 50% to 1? I'll bet two taels of silver!"

"You've thrown away these two taels of silver in vain. I think it's a 50-50 chance of success. A 2-for-1 ratio is pretty good. Just bet one tael of silver."

There are very few people who are willing to force Jiang Lin to fail.

Although they all think that blacksmiths and alchemists have nothing to do with each other, even if you have a good talent for blacksmithing, as the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains, and you won't achieve much.

But considering that Lord Jiang always does something surprising, many people have to be patient and choose to wait and see.

The organizer looked at Qi the Blacksmith and asked, "Master Qi, don't you want to bet on it?"

Blacksmith Qi said with a smile: "If Lord Jiang can make it, I will bet all my belongings on it even if you pay me one more ounce of silver."

The guy who organized the party smiled awkwardly, he wasn't stupid.

At this time, Jiang Lin sorted out the medicinal materials, and then threw them all into the Hengyu furnace according to the still vague thoughts in his mind.

Many blacksmiths were surprised. To make an elixir is just to throw all the herbs in? Isn't that the same as burning firewood?

Can this also be used to make pills?
However, few people still think that Jiang Lin will fail. Perhaps this is Lord Jiang’s secret recipe.

Jiang Lin controlled the temperature of the fire, but he was not very clear in his mind. He always felt that the temperature might be a little high, but after lowering it, he felt that it was a little too low.

Not long after, a burning smell came from the stove and a large amount of black smoke came out, making everyone cover their noses and run away.

Even Jiang Lin was smoked out. He didn't go back until the Hengyu furnace melted and swallowed all the medicinal materials.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.

“Does this count as a failure?”

"Nonsense! Didn't you see that there's not even a slag left after burning? Lord Jiang has started to redistribute the herbs. Hurry up and pay me back!"

The blacksmith who organized the game looked so angry. How could he lose?

Those who made money were all happy and proud.

"It's said that different trades are like different mountains. Lord Jiang is a true genius in iron forging and martial arts. If you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences!"

Seeing that Jiang Lin was about to start refining the elixir for the second time, the people who won the silver asked with a smile: "What's the matter, do you want to gamble again?"

The blacksmith turned around and saw Jiang Lin stuffing a large amount of medicinal materials into the furnace again. How could he be willing to join the party again? Isn't this just throwing money into the water?
Even Qi the blacksmith, who had the most confidence in Jiang Lin, was wondering in his heart at this moment, could it be that the so-called natural fragrance of the elixir was just a rumor?

Or no matter how good one's talent is, one still needs a master to guide him. After all, this is alchemy, which is much more difficult than blacksmithing.

A blacksmith apprentice can get the hang of it in three to two years if he is diligent and smart.

However, an apprentice of an alchemist may still be in the process of identifying medicinal materials for eight or ten years, and there are many who cannot even get started after twenty or thirty years.

This thing tests one's understanding and talent more than blacksmithing, and any lack of it will not work.

"I really don't know why Lord Jiang suddenly wants to make pills. How can pills be made so easily? Besides, there is no one to teach him. If he could make it by his own enlightenment, there would be alchemists everywhere."

"Who says it's not true? Look at what Lord Jiang is doing. He just throws all the herbs into the furnace, not caring about their properties or age. Even though I know nothing about alchemy, I know this won't work."

"Master Qi, please say something."

Blacksmith Qi smiled bitterly. What else could he say?
You can't say that he also thinks Jiang Lin is wasting medicinal herbs.

The alchemist himself had never seen it, but he had seen the pills made by ordinary pharmacists.

They are all steamed first to blend the medicinal properties into the soup, and then slowly simmered.

The steps are complicated and time-consuming, and you have to be careful at every step, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.

Forget it. Even if I know it won’t work, I can’t let Lord Jiang’s prestige continue to fall.

Thinking of this, Blacksmith Qi immediately said, "Alright, stop gathering around. Have you finished today's work? Don't forget that the day of elimination is approaching. If your contribution is insufficient by then, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Everyone felt that it was boring and felt dizzy from the smoke, so they left obediently.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one around the blacksmith shop.

Jiang Lin didn't care about this.

It doesn’t matter to him whether someone watches it or not. What matters is how to refine the elixir.

A new batch of medicinal materials was put into the fire, and Jiang Lin controlled the temperature of the fire more carefully. This time, a flash of inspiration seemed to come to his mind, and it was no longer as vague as before.

As the flames burned, the herbs melted quickly like winter snow under the scorching sun, and then intertwined with each other.

If a real alchemist were to see this, he would surely be amazed.

It is incredible that medicinal materials with different characteristics and different years can be combined so naturally and quickly.

Others refine it portion by portion, no one makes a big pot like Jiang Lin does.

After a while, the medicine juice gradually shrank while boiling and quickly condensed into granules.

A faint medicinal aroma gradually wafted out of the furnace, no longer as pungent as it had been during the previous failure.

Jiang Lin had a hunch that this time it would work!

Sure enough, the fire went out soon after, leaving only three light green, round pills.

I took it out with tongs and examined it in the palm of my hand.

[Average quality pills that can improve cultivation] [Skill 6: Alchemy Lv3 (Proficiency 3/80)]

Jiang Lin was slightly delighted, as getting evaluation meant success.

In terms of shape, it is perfect and crystal clear, looking like light blue glass beads.

There are seven complex lines on its surface.

Jiang Lin wasn't quite sure what this meant. After thinking about it, he picked up one and put it in his mouth.

The pill melts in your mouth, and it is no different from taking Jiuyao Pills or Baose Pills.

However, the medicinal power after it was dissolved was not very much and was completely absorbed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lin silently felt the power of the medicine and estimated that it was about 20% to 30% of the Nine Lights Pill.

Although the amount is small, the herbs used are not expensive. If they are made in bulk and eaten as snacks, they will still be useful.

Looking up in the direction of the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin took the remaining two and walked towards that direction.

When he entered the blacksmith shop, a group of blacksmiths hurriedly greeted him, "Master Jiang."

There were also people who were brave and familiar with the matter, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Lord Jiang continue to make pills?"

Another kind-hearted person consoled him, "Master Jiang, don't be impatient. Alchemy is different from forging iron. It requires long-term practice. You don't have anyone to teach you, so just take your time."

"It's not difficult. I've already made it. Let's find someone to try out its efficacy." Jiang Lin said.

What he relies on to make elixirs is not experience or understanding, but probability.

After completing the 3rd level of Nine Revolutions, the success rate of primary alchemy will increase by %, and the success rate of intermediate alchemy will increase by %.

The first failure showed that Jiang Lin’s luck was really not good, and he failed even with an 80% chance of success.

When they heard him say that the smelting had been successful, the blacksmiths and apprentices around him were stunned.

It's done? Really? They just came back to work, some of them haven't even heated up their stoves yet.

Jiang Lin looked at everyone and asked, "Who is willing to try this medicine? It can improve your martial arts skills."

Everyone quickly shrank their necks and dared not respond.

What a joke, with your hodgepodge of alchemy techniques, you say you have succeeded so quickly, who would dare to eat it?

Getting a stomachache is no big deal, but what if someone dies? They don’t mind living a long life.

Seeing that no one answered, Qi the Blacksmith gritted his teeth and walked over and said, "Let me try!"

A blacksmith nearby subconsciously tried to pull it. Everyone knew that Blacksmith Qi was trying to maintain the prestige of Lord Jiang, but there was no need to risk his life.

Blacksmith Qi dodged the other person's hand and walked straight to Jiang Lin.

Seeing his fearless look, Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master Qi, don't be afraid. The pills I refine should be pretty good."

The smile that Blacksmith Qi forced was a little forced. He really wanted to tell everyone that he believed in Lord Jiang's abilities, but his throat felt dry, as if it was stuck together, and he couldn't say anything.

Especially when he thought about how he felt dizzy and dazed from the smoke just now, Qi the blacksmith's eyes suddenly turned red.

If I really die at the hands of Lord Jiang today, I just hope he can be more cautious in the future and not be too ambitious.

In this way, my death would not be in vain.

Gritting his teeth, Blacksmith Qi stretched out his hand.

Jiang Lin felt the suspicious and worried gazes around him, but he did not explain out loud. He just waited for the results to come out, and everything would become clear.

After Qi the blacksmith took the light green Eight Directions True Pill, he was slightly startled. This pill...

Seems to look good huh?

You can smell the faint medicinal fragrance without getting too close.

A glimmer of hope arose in his heart. Perhaps, he would not die?

Taking a deep breath, Blacksmith Qi put the pill into his mouth. Before he could taste it, the medicinal power had already dissolved.

To Jiang Lin, the power of the medicine was negligible, but to Qi the blacksmith, a second-grade martial artist, it was astonishingly powerful.

The power of the medicine rushed through his body like a wild bull. Blacksmith Qi had no energy like that. His skin burst open all over his body, and traces of blood turned him into a bloody man in an instant.

The pain of his meridians being forcibly stretched made him unable to hold back and scream out loud.

The people around him were too busy to work, and they quickly gathered around and shouted anxiously, "Master Qi!"

"Quick, go get the pharmacist!"

Some people looked at Jiang Lin, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

They didn't dare to blame, but the meaning in their eyes was very clear.

Lord Jiang is confused. Master Qi is so loyal to him, how could he let him try the medicine?

If someone really dies, not only will my prestige be greatly damaged, but I will also lose such a reliable master. It will be a huge loss!
What was even more incomprehensible to them was that someone wanted to ask the pharmacist for help, but was stopped by Jiang Lin.

"Master Jiang?"

"Don't worry, Master Qi is fine. He just can't withstand the power of the medicine for the time being. He will be fine after he adapts." Jiang Lin said.

Several blacksmiths were anxious, but they didn't dare to disobey Jiang Lin, so they could only stare blankly.

At this time, Qi the blacksmith was covered in blood, looking very scary.

Screams were heard one after another, and some of the newly arrived apprentices were frightened to the point of turning pale.

Isn’t it said that Lord Jiang is very gentle and never makes things difficult for others?

How can you treat human life as worthless?

Could it be that those rumors are all false?

Jiang Lin didn't care what others thought. He stared at Blacksmith Qi and kept an eye on his condition.

His cultivation level of the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm was enough for him to see through the entire body of Qi the blacksmith.

A large amount of medicinal power was transformed into cultivation, which made Qi the blacksmith vomit blood. However, his energy and blood not only did not weaken, but continued to improve with the supplement of medicinal power.

From the second level of martial arts, he instantly broke through to the third level, and then reached the fourth level very quickly.

At this point, the release of the drug's power has weakened.

Gradually, Blacksmith Qi stopped screaming and just gasped for breath.

Some people began to feel the power of his aura and asked in astonishment: "Master Qi has made a breakthrough?"

The stronger your martial arts skills are, the stronger the medicine you can withstand.

After a moment, Blacksmith Qi let out a long breath, the sound was like thunder, he had already reached the fifth level of Fish Dragon Realm in martial arts!
This long roar shocked the entire blacksmith shop into silence.

Everyone was shocked. What kind of cultivation level was this?
Even Jiang Lin was a little surprised. He thought that after taking one pill, he would be able to improve to the fourth level of martial arts, but he didn't expect that he could actually reach the fifth level.

It seems that this medicine is effective!

Then, Blacksmith Qi opened his eyes, their piercing eyes were full of energy and brilliance, completely different from his horrifying bloody appearance.

Feeling the power of his own cultivation, although he didn't know what level he had reached, Qi the Blacksmith was still very excited.

He looked at Jiang Lin and bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Jiang, for the medicine. Otherwise, I would never have the hope of reaching this level in my lifetime!"
