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

Chapter 284 Even the Top Grade Xuanbing Is Not Satisfied
Sixty-two different kinds of materials integrated into the same object would give even the craftsman from a powerful clan a headache and say it was impossible.

But for Jiang Lin, it was extremely simple.

There is no possibility of failure in fusion forging, so the speed can become very fast.

One material after another is integrated into the Hengyu furnace, making the furnace body darker and deeper, but if you look closely, you can see other colors faintly.

Maybe, this is what is called colorful black?

It looks black from a distance, but colorful when you look closely.

Originally, the lighting progress of the seventh branch of the Hengyu Furnace was already 50%. When the 37th material was integrated, the furnace body vibrated slightly.

Jiang Lin then took a few steps back and saw that the size of the Hengyu furnace had increased significantly again.

Originally its diameter was over eight meters and its height was close to nine meters. Now it is rising rapidly like mushrooms after a spring rain.

In the blink of an eye, the diameter reached nine meters and the height was close to eleven meters.

From a distance, it already looked like a gigantic monster, and when it got closer, it was even more shocking.

The seven lit branches of the magical treasure tree shone on the furnace, shining brightly.

Just like the entropy patterns of ordinary soldiers, the more there are, the brighter and more conspicuous they are.

Just like these high-quality objects, I also hope to use them to show my own uniqueness.

Jiang Lin keenly sensed that wisps of the vital energy of heaven and earth were constantly gathering in the Hengyu Furnace.

This surprised him a little: "Could this furnace also be used for cultivation?"

It is not surprising if you think about it, all weapons above the treasure can draw the vital energy of heaven and earth, absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth into the body to strengthen itself, which is not surprising.

Jiang Lin looked intently, and new information appeared in his field of vision.

[A furnace of good quality, which can improve the quality of materials by 2%, attribute +, can melt everything to improve its own grade]

Jiang Lin raised his lips and said to himself, "Not bad. The quality of the materials can be doubled, and the overall properties can be increased. It's a pity that the ability to improve itself by melting all things has not been enhanced. It would be great if it could be improved like the properties of other objects, so that I don't have to worry about the type of materials every time."

Although it is a bit of a pity, Hengyu Furnace has great potential for the future and is currently only a mid-grade Xuan weapon.

When you reach the level of Yuanbing, Shengbing, or even Shenbing, there might be some surprises.

Just like those skills, level 5 allows people to master them almost perfectly, level 7 brings about a qualitative change, and level 9 even brings about new magical skills!

Staring at the Hengyu furnace, Jiang Lin calculated carefully.

The material quality improvement he had now included 9% of the Hengyu Furnace, % of the Level Furnace, and % of the Hengyu Furnace's amplification effect, which meant that he could improve the material quality by nearly times.

To put it bluntly, after Jiang Lin burned a piece of pig iron in the Hengyu furnace, its quality was very close to that of black crystal iron.

Such an amplification effect is truly terrifying, and the higher the quality of the material itself, the more terrifying the amplification will be.

In terms of hammering, level 9's power of movement is increased by %, quenching by %, and sharpening by %, which is %.

The Star-Destroying Hammer increases in power by 50,000ths with each hammer strike. Usually a weapon needs to be forged by two to three hundred hammer strikes. Even if there are only two hundred hammer strikes, that is still 10%.

"One hundred and eighty percent, plus an overall increase of 30 percent, that's 2.34 times."

Jiang Lin couldn't help but shake his head slightly. There were many amplifying skills, but when all was said and done, they were still not as good as the enhancement effects of the materials themselves.

This is mainly because the level of quenching and sharpening is not high enough. Once the level is raised in the later stage, the increase in hammering will increase significantly.

In addition to these fixed-ratio amplification effects, the 9th-level mastery of the art also has the potential to increase the grade by % after re-calcination, and by /, by two grades.

In addition, if one reaches level 9, Yun Jin Cheng Feng, there is a % chance of increasing the level of Bai Lian.

These are all probability-amplifying effects and cannot be calculated accurately.

All things added up, the quality of a piece of pig iron forged by Jiang Lin should be more than five times better.

Five times... You know, the quality of black crystal iron is only about three times higher than pig iron.

"It's a pity that top-grade materials are too rare and are controlled by those powerful clans. Otherwise, one of my magic weapons would be worth five of others."

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin felt even more disgusted with the powerful clans.

Although Daqian is still a quasi-feudal dynasty, these powerful clans are nothing. Why should you control all the good things? I am at least a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Works!
Lord Jiang felt a little annoyed and recalled the conversation he had with Marshal Yu.

Cut off the vassal...

It's time to cut it, cut it hard!

It would be best to confiscate the properties of these powerful clans. It would be best if Lord Jiang could lead the team to do the search!

Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that if there was a chance, he should tell His Majesty about a certain emperor named Zhu who failed in his attempt to reduce the power of the feudal lords, so that His Majesty could be more drastic and not give the powerful clans a chance to turn the tables.

It's not Jiang Lin's fault that he was in conflict with the powerful clans. It's really because those people went too far.

A Qingzhou Li family member dared to travel thousands of miles to arrest someone. How arrogant he was.

A glimpse of the whole picture reveals the whole picture, so much so that Jiang Lin is not optimistic about all the powerful clans.

However, with Jiang Lin's current strength and status, he is not qualified to participate in this confrontation between major factions.

Not to mention him, even the Shangshu Sun Zhongyun can't do it.

So I just thought about it in my mind and let it go.

Then he melted the remaining twenty kinds of materials into the Hengyu furnace, and lit up one tenth of the eighth branch of the Lingmiao treasure tree.

According to this progress, about 180 kinds of weapons are needed to be promoted to top-grade Xuanbing.

As for the lower-grade Yuan soldiers... Jiang Lin felt overwhelmed just thinking about it. At this rate of progress, there would probably be at least four or five hundred types.

These are just Yuan soldiers. Saint soldiers are easy to get, but if they are promoted to Divine soldiers or even Dao soldiers, the types of materials required for each promotion may be tens of millions.

Are there so many kinds of materials in the world where Daqian exists?
Jiang Lin was very skeptical about this. If there weren't so many types, wouldn't fusion forging be useless?

The Hengyu Furnace is fine. Although its fusion and forging function is broken, it still has the ability to melt everything to improve its own quality. At worst, it can just eat food everywhere and use the stars in the sky as nutrients.

But what about my own hammer?
Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh. He had a long way to go and a heavy task to accomplish. He also had no idea what materials the blacksmith's ancestor had used to create the three top-notch magic weapons.

The so-called gold ore brought by the dragon and coal ore brought by the Emperor of Heaven are probably not ordinary materials.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but think that perhaps this material came from the world where the gods lived, rather than the current world.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky. Above the vast blue sky, there were other worlds.

But why haven’t I heard anyone mention it?
The sanctification of the blacksmith's ancestor's body is recorded in detail in historical books and should not be false.

Since someone has ascended to heaven, how can future generations not yearn for it?

But since Jiang Lin came to this world, no one has ever mentioned this matter. If you can't ascend, you won't be too lazy to talk about it.

The flames in the Hengyu furnace roared up, and the sound brought Jiang Lin back to his senses.

"Forget it. Right now, we only know the tip of the iceberg of the world where Daqian lives. The rest is too far away."

Jiang Lin shook his head secretly, picked up a few pieces of pig iron and threw them into the Hengyu furnace.

The trip to the border made him clearly realize the importance of good weapons.

If it weren't for the nearly one hundred Chaos Arrows, he would not only fail to save Liao Mingxu, but might also be slapped to death by the Lord of Ancient Secret Mountain.

After all, the Sky-Breaking Sword Technique he used with his bare hands only seriously injured the Lord of Gu Mi Mountain.

It is not so easy for a master in the Divine Martial Realm to die.

More Chaos Arrows must be forged, and the quality must be high enough. The materials accumulated at present should be enough to support mid-grade Xuan Soldiers, and perhaps there is a chance for high-grade Xuan Soldiers!
In addition, you have to forge a good sword. Although the Sky-Breaking Sword Technique currently has a bit of a killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own, but in about a month, your various skills will be upgraded.

By then, it is very likely that your cultivation will directly break through to the Divine Martial Realm, and then you will have more confidence to perform swordsmanship.

Marshal Yu's Yuan soldier's long sword shattered after being used once, obviously unable to withstand such a huge energy.

[Material quality improved by 5%]

[Material quality improved by 10%]

[Material quality improved by 15%]

Looking at the pig iron whose quality was constantly improving in the furnace, Jiang Lin turned around and looked for various materials.

In order to withstand the damage caused by the Sky-Breaking Sword Technique to the weapon, it must be strong enough and also have sufficient flexibility.

Well, self-repair capabilities are also required.

It should be better to lay a solid foundation first and then use other materials to improve the quality than a chaotic fusion method.

Blacksmithing is a gradual process. Jiang Lin began to realize that if he could optimize the steps, perhaps he could improve the quality of the castings without the need for skill enhancement.

Outside the blacksmith's shop, Qi the Blacksmith and other master chefs finished their inspection and stood at the door, seeing Jiang Lin working so busy that he didn't have time to rest. They all looked admiring.

"As expected of Lord Jiang, he has just returned from the frontier and has started to get busy with serious matters. His talent is so amazing, and his diligence is far beyond that of ordinary people. He is so perfect that he is almost a god."

“Who says it’s not true? With a temperament like Lord Jiang, even if his talent is not good enough, he can still soar to the sky, let alone not bad enough.”

"Fortunately, although you have been promoted to the fifth rank doctor, you can still stay in the Southern Blacksmith Camp. This is a blessing for us."

Blacksmith Qi turned around, looked at the few people, and said seriously: "Don't think that you can be safe and sound as long as Lord Jiang stays. Such a true god cannot stay in a small temple for long. Sooner or later, he will leave. Before that, you should work hard to improve your skills."

"If Lord Jiang really leaves the Southern Blacksmith Camp one day, we must not let him have any doubts, and we must do our best to lead the Southern Blacksmith Camp forward steadily."

After he said this, all the masters suddenly realized and hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Qi is right. We should really work harder to improve ourselves. How can we always rely on Lord Jiang to protect us from the wind and rain?"

Blacksmith Qi nodded slightly, and his tone softened: "Don't forget, we are blacksmiths, and blacksmiths should make a living by their own skills. Lord Jiang has done a lot for us. We don't ask for anything to help him, but at least we can't make trouble or hinder him."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Lin had already taken out the pig iron infused with the vital energy of heaven and earth from the Hengyu furnace and forged it into arrowheads.

[Quality of acceptable pig iron increased by 5%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

……

The clanging sounds continued. One arrow after another started as a precious weapon, and went through the stages of hammering, quenching, and sharpening before being fusion forged.

Jiang Lin had about one or two hundred types of materials in his hands, even though some of them had been exhausted.

With so many materials incorporated into it, the quality of the arrows began to improve continuously.

Low-grade treasured soldiers, medium-grade treasured soldiers, high-grade treasured soldiers, low-grade spiritual soldiers...

Even until the middle-grade Xuanbing, the improvement has not yet ended.

After another material was incorporated, the gloss of the arrow had been restrained a lot, like the dark night sky, inconspicuous, but able to bring a great sense of oppression to people.

[An arrow with better quality, with the Tarsal Maggot effect, toughness +14, penetration +8, hardness +18, with cold poison, fire poison, and...]

There are dozens of various characteristics, making this arrow seem to be born from chaos, containing the mystery of the beginning of the world.

There are also increases in various attributes. Although it is only an improvement of one grade from a mid-grade Xuanbing to a high-grade Xuanbing, the actual power is more than doubled!
He had a feeling that if he returned to the border battlefield, this arrow would never be crushed by those mountain masters at will again!
Moreover, as the grade increased, the arrowheads began to emit an aura that was otherworldly, and Jiang Lin even felt that it was resonating with his own will.

Jiang Lin's mind moved, and the arrow shook a few times, making his eyes light up slightly.

It is not enough to describe it as being able to use one's own arm as if it were one's own finger; it is more like remote control.

Although the previous arrows had the Tarsal Maggot effect and could chase the enemy independently, if the enemy fled too far, the arrow would be lost.

Just like on the frontier battlefield, there are dozens of Chaos Arrows, many of which can be reused, but there is no time to pick them up, and no one knows which lucky person will get them.

If it can be remotely controlled to kill the enemy and then fly back, the loss rate can be greatly reduced.

But I don’t know if it’s because the grade is not high enough, and the resonance with the will is still very elementary. It can only make the arrow shake a few times to react, and it can’t really fly around according to the mind.

Jiang Lin turned his head to look at the remaining materials beside him. There were still twenty or thirty kinds, which was not a small number.

He picked up a material at random to fuse and forge it, and found that the ninth branch of the Lingmiao Treasure Tree on the arrow was only one percent lit.

You know, the materials needed to upgrade the quality of the arrows are far less than those of the Hengyu Furnace.

However, the promotion from a top-grade Xuan soldier to a lower-grade Yuan soldier is a truly huge leap, and the materials required are far more than before.

Even if you throw in twenty or thirty kinds of materials, you can only light up 20% or 30% at most.

Jiang Lin shook his head regretfully, it was still a little short.

It would be great if we could get another hundred or eighty kinds of materials from the Ministry of Works or the border troops. A Yuan-soldier-grade Chaos Arrow would probably be able to kill a Divine Martial Realm warrior with one arrow.

Moreover, after reaching the level of Yuanbing, perhaps it would be possible to remotely control the Chaos Arrow and make it fly back.

However, having just received a large reward, it would be inappropriate to ask for it back immediately.

Jiang Lin could only suppress his inner impulse and continue to forge more arrows, using quantity to make up for the slight defects in quality.

Of course, this was just his personal feeling that there were flaws. If other blacksmiths knew that he was not satisfied with the top-grade Xuan weapons he made, I wonder how they would feel.

While Jiang Lin was hammering the arrowhead, he was thinking silently in his heart, wondering what grade of weapons the private craftsmen of the powerful clans could make.

With control over so many materials and the secret recipe for precious weapons, with such a high starting point, it should be easy for him to create Yuanbing or Shengbing, right?
