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

Chapter 285 This deal is worth it

It took Jiang Lin two or three days to re-forge 108 Chaos Arrows.

They are all top-grade Xuan weapons. Even without testing the arrows, one can still feel the terrifying power contained in the arrowheads.

In order to increase the power as much as possible, Jiang Lin even used black crystal iron to make the arrow shaft instead of ordinary wooden shaft.

You know, all his skills can improve the quality of castings by almost five times.

Even the black crystal iron, after such an upgrade, is not much different from the material of the precious weapon grade.

In this way, the one hundred and eight Chaos Arrows became heavy arrows, with even greater power.

According to Jiang Lin's estimation, if he used all his cultivation to shoot an arrow, a first-grade Divine Martial Realm cultivator would be seriously injured if not killed.

Another day passed, and Jiang Lin made himself a long sword of mid-grade Xuanbing grade.

The knife is three feet and seven inches long, with a blade two fingers wide. It is forged from refined black crystal iron. It glows with a faint cold light, revealing a calm yet sharp aura.

After a period of fusion and forging, the whole thing became dark and bright, and as it was waved, the vitality of heaven and earth flowed along with it.

[A long sword of good quality, hardness +16, sharpness +12, flexibility +12, ability to pry the vitality of heaven and earth +2, with fire poison, cold poison, evil power, and...]

There is so much feature information that it's dizzying.

The sharpness of the blade, after being promoted to a mid-grade Xuan weapon, is like the Hengyu furnace, with a slight hint of colorful colors, just like the chaos when the world was first created.

Jiang Lin tried to chop a few times, and the refined black crystal iron was easily cut into two pieces without any effort.

"Good knife!" a voice came from the side.

Jiang Lin turned his head and saw Zheng Qiran, the lieutenant general of Zhenshuo Camp, and Jiang Chengping, the commander, walking towards him.

"Lord Zheng, Lord Jiang." Jiang Lin bowed.

Although Zheng Qiran and Jiang Chengping's official ranks were higher than his, they did not dare to be arrogant.

After returning the gift, Zheng Qiran looked at the long sword, and with a little desire, he said, "Can I see this sword?"

Jiang Lin handed over the long knife without saying a word.

Zheng Qiran had just returned from the frontier, and now he had reached the third level of Yuanwu realm.

Holding the long knife in his hand, he swung it slightly, and the sharp energy cut a deep dent in the open space more than ten meters away.

"Nice knife!" Zheng Qiran looked at Jiang Lin with fiery eyes: "I want this knife, Lord Jiang, please name a price."

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "I spent a lot of materials to make this sword for myself. I don't sell it to others. If you want to buy a sword, you can send the materials and I will make it for you."

"Can it be like this knife?" Zheng Qiran asked. The commander Jiang Chengping beside him also looked at him with anticipation.

Although he is only at the first level of Yuanwu Realm, if he can get such a good sword, he can even fight with the third level of Yuanwu Realm.

Jiang Lin said: "If Lord Zheng can find 200 different kinds of materials, even a top-grade Xuanbing can be made. If there are 500 kinds, I can make you a low-grade Yuanbing."

Zheng Qiran was very excited after hearing this. Aren't low-grade Yuan soldiers used by the Marshal? Doesn't he have a chance too?

But after thinking about what Jiang Lin said again, Zheng Qiran suddenly felt discouraged.

Five hundred kinds of materials?
He was just a lieutenant general of the border army. Where could he find so many kinds? It would be the best he could get together twenty or thirty kinds.

And Jiang Lin has twenty or thirty of them, which can be used to create a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

"Mid-grade spiritual weapons..." Zheng Qiran felt a little regretful, but it was barely enough. At least it was much better than those lieutenant generals who were still using ordinary weapons.

His own weapon was now only of the second-highest grade.

"It may take some time for you to wait for the adults to bring the materials. There are thousands of people waiting in line ahead to forge weapons." Jiang Lin said.

Zheng Qiran and Jiang Chengping were stunned. Thousands of people?
But if you think about being able to use some materials to exchange for weapons above the treasure level, anyone with a bit of ability would not miss this opportunity.

In the past, if a lieutenant general wanted to obtain precious troops, he had to make great contributions, and the Ministry of War would reward him with very few rewards.

Now a talented blacksmith who can forge precious weapons has appeared in the Foundry, who can resist it?

Even the border troops on the front line were trying every means to get people to come to the South Blacksmith Camp to order weapons.

"Let's wait. We still have a few years to rest, so there's no rush." ​​Zheng Qiran picked up another Chaos Arrow and looked at it.

Top-grade mysterious weapon!

Both he and Jiang Chengping were excited. There were so many good things here. It didn't feel like a blacksmith's camp at all, but rather like the backyard of a powerful clan's home.

However, the longbow seemed a bit mediocre compared to the top-grade Xuanbing Chaos Arrow and the mid-grade Xuanbing long sword.

Zheng Qiran's heart moved, and then he looked at Jiang Lin and said, "I came here this time to ask Lord Jiang, if the Zhenshuo camp needs to replace all its members with weapons of the fourth rank or above, what should be done?"

The weapons that the Ministry of War equipped for the border army camps were all of standard and high quality, and did not require quality.

Weapons of higher quality usually need to be custom-made by a craftsman, as they cannot be made by ordinary blacksmiths.

But even among craftsmen, few can forge weapons of the fourth grade or above. Even if they are willing to make them for you, it is almost a fantasy to want tens of thousands of people to exchange them at the same time.

Only the Nanling camp created a miracle, with all its members reaching the fourth rank.

Now they are charging forward in the heart of Dachen, and the situation is extremely chaotic.

The Zhenshuo Camp is now the closest to the Nanling Camp, so naturally they have started to think about it. If they can equip themselves with good weapons like the Nanling Camp and return to the battlefield in a few years, they will surely make a splash.

However, Zheng Qiran knew that all the soldiers had to order weapons of the fourth grade, which could only be made by the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

To be precise, it was a personal favor from Lord Jiang Linjiang.

He was unwilling, and no one could force the Southern Blacksmith Camp to hand over so many good weapons.

After all, Lord Jiang was said to be a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, but in fact he was appreciated by the commander-in-chief of the border army and was scheduled to be a second-rank general.

Even without these official positions, his cultivation level of the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm was enough for anyone to underestimate.

Jiang Lin was not surprised by Zheng Qiran's question.

With the example of the Nanling camp in front of them, as long as the border troops are not stupid, they will definitely want to replace their weapons with better ones.

Jiang Lin said, "Mr. Zheng, what you said is too distant. I have received a lot of care from the border troops, and I am like a brother to Brother Liao and the others. The border troops' affairs are my affairs. However, there are only a hundred or so people in the South Blacksmith Camp who can forge fourth-grade weapons, so we need to wait for several months."

"I could do without taking a penny, but the blacksmiths have worked so hard, so we have to give them some extra pay. As for how much, it's up to Lord Zheng to decide what he thinks these weapons are worth. If anyone dares to say no, even if I, Jiang Lin, lose face in the Ministry of Works and people accuse me of abusing my power for personal gain, I will make that person pay!" After hearing these words, Zheng Qiran and Jiang Chengping were so moved that they wanted to pull Jiang Lin to become sworn brothers on the spot.

Brother Jiang is such a good man. He would rather lose face and be stabbed in the back than not protect our border army brothers.

"Don't worry, my good brother. I will pay you according to the market price of weapons. You have the final say on how to divide the weapons. If anyone dares to say no, I will never forgive him!"

Zheng Qiran held Jiang Lin's hand, his mind more determined, and said: "Brother, I got a fifth-grade Yin-Yang Ancient Rhino leg tendon a few years ago. This thing is most suitable for making a bowstring. I will send it to you later. But the bow body that matches it is said to be made of Yin-Yang Ancient Bamboo or Four-sided Mysterious Wood. That thing is too rare, I don't have it, otherwise I would have given it to you too!"

Jiang Lin was delighted when he heard this. The tendon of a fifth-grade demon beast?
Then the next stage of bows and arrows at least solves half of the material problem.

To forge a fourth-grade weapon, Jiang Lin only needed to give the extra pig iron produced during the fire to the elite blacksmith, which was not too much effort.

He had intended to use this favor to improve his relationship with the Zhenshuo Camp, but he didn't expect to gain such a huge benefit.

Not a loss!

As for the Yin-Yang Ancient Bamboo or the Four-sided Mysterious Wood, Jiang Lin had never heard of them, so he asked, "Where can I find these two things that Brother Zheng mentioned?"

"It's not hard to find. Several decades ago, there were several ancient Yin-Yang bamboos planted in the back mountain of Jueyuan Road. Later, the mountain gate was destroyed, and the Yin-Yang bamboos were dug up by people from the Ministry of Works. If I remember correctly, they should be planted in the Imperial Garden now."

"As for the Four-sided Mysterious Wood, I have heard of it a few times over the years, but I'm not sure where it is exactly."

Jiang Lin listened in silence. The Four-sided Mysterious Wood should not be easy to find. As for the Yin-Yang Ancient Bamboo, although he knew its exact location, it was still not easy to get it.

How could the Emperor, a lowly official of the fifth rank, allow such people to cut down the plants in his imperial garden?

Zheng Qiran laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, don't be embarrassed. You know the Marshal. If you can't do something yourself, just ask the Marshal for help."

"If we can really ask the Marshal for help, why would we need the Yin-Yang Ancient Bamboo?" Jiang Chengping followed up, "In Marshal Yu's mansion, there is a tree of ancient purple gold wood that was snatched from Xuanhua Dao... um, transplanted. It is known as the strongest and most yang in the world, and is indestructible. That is the best material for the bow."

Jiang Lin's heart moved. The ancient purple gold wood is indestructible?

It sounds very unusual!
It’s just that I can say that I am familiar with Yu Shuai, but it’s also true that I am not that familiar with him.

If I ask for it, I don't know if Marshal Yu will give it to me, after all, I just broke one of his Yuan weapons.

But no matter what, now that I know it, I have to give it a try. Even if I get rejected in the end, it is always better than doing nothing.

"Thank you for your teachings, you two brothers. It really helped me a lot. Come on, come on, each of you will get a Chaos Arrow. This is a top-grade Xuanbing. Even a first-grade Divine Martial Realm warrior will be seriously injured if shot with one arrow. This is a sincere gift from my brother. Don't refuse it, otherwise you will think this gift is not up to par."

Zheng Qiran and Jiang Chengping took the Chaos Arrows and their faces were filled with joy.

Who dares to say that a treasure that can seriously injure a divine martial artist with a single arrow is not up to par?

This is a top-grade Xuanbing! Even the general may not be willing to use it.

Zheng Qiran took a deep breath and said to Jiang Lin solemnly: "Brother, you have been very kind to me, I can't let you suffer any loss. I will go back and search for the materials you want, and find you at least forty..."

"No!" Zheng Qiran gritted his teeth and said, "I'll find you at least fifty kinds!"

"I will risk my reputation and go to each camp to ask for it. I guarantee that the materials are different from those of Lord Zheng, and there are at least thirty kinds!" Jiang Chengping followed.

Jiang Lin was happy in his heart. Although there were more types of Chaos Arrow fusion, they were all leftovers.

Two arrows in exchange for eighty kinds of materials. Although they have not been obtained yet, the border troops are very determined to get what they want.

Now that I have said it, I can definitely do it.

If they really can't find it in Kyoto, they will probably travel thousands of miles to the border to steal it, just to fulfill their promise.

This deal is more worthwhile than equipping all members of the Zhenshuo Camp with fourth-grade weapons!
"In that case, I would like to thank you two brothers first." Jiang Lin patted his chest and said, "After you go back, please bring the weapons of other military officers. No matter how low the grade is, I promise to re-forge them to at least the highest grade!"

Zheng Qiran and Jiang Chengping were so moved that their eyes were red. They had fought in the border army for so many years and had never met such a good blacksmith.

If you give him a little gift, he will immediately repay you with a thousandfold gratitude.

Zheng Qiran took several breaths in succession, calmed down a little, and then he bowed to Jiang Lin and said, "It's getting late, I will go back to prepare the materials and silver. If you are wronged in the Ministry of Works in the future, come to the camp to find me at any time, and I will bring people to chop off their heads!"

Jiang Lin politely bowed and sent the two men out of the South Blacksmith Camp.

Looking at the two military officers leaving in a hurry, Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone says that the border troops are crazy, but now it seems that they are not crazy at all, they are obviously a group of loyal and righteous heroes.

After leaving the Southern Blacksmith Camp and returning to the Zhenshuo Camp, Zheng Qiran shouted, "All military officers, get out here right now!"

A group of military officers didn't know what was going on and rushed over, thinking that another war was about to break out.

Zheng Qiran took a deep breath, his expression stern, and his tone heavy as he spoke: "All military officers, hand over your weapons and have them delivered to Lord Jiang Linjiang of the Southern Blacksmith Camp! In addition, each person must hand in one type of casting material, and no duplicates are allowed."

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.

Not only do they have to hand in their personal weapons, they also have to hand in casting materials. What is this for?
The garrison commander Chang Shu also asked, "What does Lord Zheng mean by this?"

Zheng Qiran looked at him and asked, "Do you want to exchange your middle-fourth-grade weapon for a top-grade one? If you want to exchange, hand it over."

Chang Shuyi was startled for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise: "My Lord, what you mean is that I only need to hand in one material and a personal weapon to exchange for a higher grade?"

"Yes."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the military officers were excited.

The lower the rank of the military officer, the happier he is.

With such a small price, you can upgrade your weapons to the next level. Where else in the world can you find such a good thing?

Jiang Chengping coughed and said, "Don't forget what the adults said. The materials you submit must not be repeated, otherwise they will not be counted, and you won't get any good weapons when the time comes."

The military officers nodded repeatedly, although it sounded a bit difficult that each person had to use one type without repeating it.

But after so many years, I still have some connections.

We can swap them then and I should be able to get them.

Chang Shuyi asked curiously, "The Lord said he wanted to give it to Lord Jiang from the Southern Blacksmith Camp. Is he the one who made the fourth-grade weapons for all the members of the Nanling Camp?"

"That's him. Brother Jiang also said that all the weapons in our Zhenshuo camp will be replaced with those of the fourth-grade or above. When you go back, inform the soldiers under your command that they can get them by paying the market price. It's okay if you don't want to." Zheng Qiran snorted and said, "But if you go to the battlefield next time, don't say you are from our Zhenshuo camp!"
