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

Chapter 287 The General was shocked
After upgrading the hammer, anvil, scissors, tongs and other iron tools one after another, until they all reached the lowest level of mid-grade black weapons, Jiang Lin began to forge weapons customized by others.

Now his control over the fire-making technique has reached perfection.

With the upgrade of Hengyu furnace, at least one hundred pieces of pig iron can be burned at a time, which is just enough to meet the needs of the elite blacksmith team.

Back then, Jiang Lin controlled five furnaces at once and burned five pieces of pig iron, which attracted craftsmen such as Yu Maoming to stop and watch.

Nowadays, people are accustomed to paying one hundred yuan at a time and don’t think there is anything to be surprised about.

The weapons made by elite blacksmiths using pig iron fired by Jiang Lin generally reach the middle fourth grade, and one tenth reaches the upper third grade.

This is mainly due to the fact that after the upgrade of Hengyu furnace, the quality of materials has been greatly improved.

Zheng Qiran sent a team of people to garrison in the South Blacksmith Camp. The weapons forged every day would be immediately transported away, for fear that people from other camps would take advantage of the situation and steal them.

Jiang Lin was used to it and didn't take it seriously, since he had already paid the money.

Even though he gave a lot of the silver to others as benefits, he still kept about 30% for himself, which is more than one million taels.

Jiang Lin kept about 200,000 yuan of the money for emergencies and family expenses, and took the rest to Zuowang Tower.

During the day, he would forge custom-made weapons, and every day he would set aside about an hour to refine elixirs.

Things like the Eight-Direction True Pill, the Four-Direction Pill, the Health-Preserving Pill, etc. are Jiang Lin’s main goal in refining now.

After about twenty days, the alchemy skills had reached level 7.

[Skill 6: Alchemy Lv7 (Proficiency 0/3000)]

[Skill 8: Level 7 Nine Revolutions completed, increase primary alchemy success rate by %, increase intermediate alchemy success rate by %, increase advanced alchemy success rate by %, increase top alchemy success rate by %. Improve pill quality by %, % chance to upgrade grade]

No matter whether it was the primary Four-Directions Health-Preserving Pill or the intermediate Eight-Directions True Pill, Jiang Lin's pills all reached the limit of nine pill patterns.

As for high-level elixirs and top-level elixirs, they have not been tried yet, mainly because the medicinal materials are too scarce and there are no elixir recipes.

Alchemy is different from blacksmithing. Even if you know the steps, you still need to have the recipe to know what specific herbs to use to make it.

In this regard, it is not as good as those martial arts skills.

After reaching level 7, you can integrate what you have learned in the past and create your own moves.

However, the improvement of his alchemy skills gave Jiang Lin a mysterious understanding of various medicinal materials. He had a hunch that if he continued to improve, one day he might not even need a recipe and would be able to create pills on his own.

Jiang Lin took some of the Four-Direction Health-Preserving Pills and Eight-Direction True Pills home and gave them to his parents, his sister Jiang Xiu, and his brother-in-law Wang Hua.

With the help of the elixir, the family's cultivation and physical fitness are improving rapidly.

My elderly parents are about to return to their prime years, but because they have taken too many pills, there will be certain side effects.

That is the increase in strength, which takes time to adapt to.

A bunch of pots and pans at home were broken because of excessive use, so we had to buy new ones.

Even Wang Hua was troubled by the blacksmithing. He couldn't help but use more force, and ended up losing control and making the iron work look messy.

Although there are certain disadvantages, once you get used to it, the advantages will naturally outweigh the disadvantages.

As for the other pills, they were naturally sent to Zuowang Tower.

In thirty days, Tian Daheng and Song Houyong relied on the power of elixirs to advance from the fifth level of martial arts to the ninth level of martial arts!
This is the result of the two people's deliberate control, not wanting to improve too quickly and unable to adapt.

Otherwise, it would not be surprising even if one could reach the pinnacle of martial arts through eating.

The extra pills would naturally be used to reward other people in the Watchtower.

Especially those who had accumulated a certain amount of contributions before and did not need to replace their weapons were very happy now.

After exchanging the pills, everyone's cultivation level increased rapidly.

During these thirty days, there were basically no people in Zuowang Tower whose martial arts level was lower than the sixth rank.

Those with the highest level of cultivation have already reached the pinnacle of martial arts with the help of elixirs.

As a result, everyone feels a stronger sense of belonging to Zuowang Tower, and those who once looked down on Tian Daheng and Song Houyong are now much more respectful to them.

There are weapons, elixirs, and a large number of martial arts secrets. In addition, Jiang Lin, a fifth-rank official and a ninth-rank Yuanwu realm master, is in charge.

Zuowanglou has basically become a second-rate force. Its only flaw is that it does not have enough people.

There are only more than 200 people at present, which is considered to be the bottom among the second-rate forces with thousands of people.

But Tian Daheng and Song Houyong were not in a hurry. They knew very well that Jiang Lin never cared about quantity, but cared more about quality.

If the person you invite is evil and has bad character, he will be a disaster.

They still understand the principle of preferring to have nothing rather than something of poor quality.

However, as the reputation of Zuowang Tower spread, people at the top of the martial arts world began to approach it and ask if there really was a pill master in charge.

Alchemist is definitely the best way to attract these top martial artists.

In the past, Tian Daheng and Song Houyong hoped to recruit the top martial artists to consolidate their power base, but now that Jiang Lin has become an alchemist, elixirs are as easy to eat as cabbages, so they are not so anxious anymore.

Not to mention the peak of martial arts, even if a master of Yuanwu realm came, they would have to examine him carefully and would not accept anyone who did not meet the requirements.

This made several top martial arts masters who were rejected very dissatisfied. Isn't it just an unknown alchemist? What's so great about it? It's better not to join!
Only a few senior officials in Zuowang Tower knew that Lord Jiang’s alchemy skills were incomparable to those of ordinary alchemists.

Dan Xiang Tiancheng has top talent and a 100% success rate in alchemy. Besides, except for the very beginning, every pill delivered now has nine elixir patterns!

Although it is called a primary elixir, it is actually more effective than some intermediate elixirs.

Tian Daheng is now the deputy owner of Zuowang Tower, and he is very proud of it.

You are only at the peak of martial arts and have bad character, but you still want to join us? Dream on!

After the overall cultivation level has been improved, the speed at which Zuowanglou can hunt monsters has become faster.

The proportion of third-grade monster remains has increased rapidly and has reached about 50%.

Occasionally they would gather together and try their luck with some injured fourth-grade monsters.

A large amount of monster remains were sent to the Southern Blacksmith Camp, some of which could be used as casting materials.

In addition, Jiang Lin specifically told them to find as many monsters as possible that had not been hunted before, which gradually accelerated the improvement speed of Hengyu Furnace, Star-Destroying Hammer, Chaos Arrow, etc.

In about a month, all the weapons of the Zhenshuo camp had been forged, and all members were equipped with middle-fourth-grade weapons, and many were upper-third-grade weapons.

According to Zheng Qiran's idea, those soldiers who were lucky enough to grab better weapons should be asked to pay more silver, but Jiang Lin refused.

The top three grades only account for 10%, or about one thousand pieces.

Even if we compensate them with silver, it would only be 100,000 taels.

In the eyes of others, one hundred thousand taels is already a huge sum, but to Jiang Lin, it is not important.

Jiang Lin politely declined the money, which raised his reputation in Zhenshuo Camp to the point where it was almost on par with Zheng Qiran.

You know, the border troops have strict military discipline. Even if someone from other camps comes, ordinary soldiers may not bother to pay attention to him.

If you dare to shout in someone else's camp, I might chop you with a knife. Just like when Lei Hexuan brought a sergeant, Liao Mingxu chopped him with a knife without giving him any face.

Jiang Lin was not from the Zhenshuo camp. Even though General Ling nominally promised him a position as a general, he never actually joined the border army.

However, as a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, he was highly respected in the Zhenshuo Camp.

No matter military officers or soldiers, they were all very respectful to him.

Zheng Qiran not only did not mind this, but was happy to see it happen.

The closer the relationship between Zhenshuo Camp and Jiang Lin, the more benefits there will be. As for losing the limelight, is that a big deal?

Once we return to the frontier, all that we have lost can be regained through military exploits. That will really make us famous!
After all the soldiers' weapons were replaced, the fighting spirit of the Zhenshuo camp was high, and some even clamored to return to the border immediately.

As a result, Zheng Qiran actually went to see General Cai Xingchang who had come back to rest. This general, who was also under the command of Marshal Yu, remained silent for a long time and did not agree. Instead, he went directly to the South Blacksmith Camp to find Jiang Lin a month later.

Upon learning that the second-rank general was coming, even Yan Tianrong hurried over with his men to greet him.

The Southern Blacksmith Camp was even more excited, because this was a second-rank military officer!
A great man whom I have only heard of but never seen.

When has the Southern Blacksmith Camp ever had such an honor to have a second-rank official come in person?

After Cai Xingchang arrived here, Zheng Qiran saw that only Yan Tianrong and his men were waiting here, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Lord Jiang?"

The news had been notified in advance, and Jiang Lin should have come to greet them according to both emotion and reason.

Although border troops do not pay much attention to these, they are still necessary etiquette.

Yan Tianrong looked towards the interior of the Southern Blacksmith Camp with some embarrassment and said, "Master Jiang happens to be about to make a breakthrough today, so..."

"Breakthrough?" Zheng Qiran asked in astonishment, "Didn't he just break through to the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm two months ago? How come he is breaking through again?"

Those who just returned don’t quite understand Jiang Lin’s breakthrough speed.

Yan Tianrong coughed and said, "Master Jiang is gifted and cannot be often discussed. I hope the two masters will forgive me."

Cai Xingchang laughed and said, "It's okay. Jiang Lin has an excellent talent for martial arts. I've heard this from Marshal Yu a long time ago. Since he is going to break through, it's a bit unexpected for me to come here. I wonder if I can watch him break through?"

Most people hate to be disturbed when they are making a breakthrough in martial arts.

Yan Tianrong said: "Master Jiang never mentioned this matter when he made the breakthrough. There are many people watching right now. If you want to go and see, please follow me."

Cai Xingchang walked in without saying a word.

As a result, they stopped again after walking a short distance, because Jiang Lin broke through the blacksmith shop, and a cordon had been set up in a radius of nearly one kilometer, and no one was allowed to approach.

"This is Lord Jiang's order, saying that the breakthrough will make too much noise and there may be accidental injuries." Yan Tianrong said.

Cai Xingchang nodded slightly and said, "If you break through to the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm, you will reach the peak of the Yuanwu Realm. It is indeed easy to accidentally hurt someone. But isn't this range too large?"

Although he was only at the eighth level of the Yuanwu Realm, he had seen people break through to the peak of the Yuanwu Realm, so the affected area was not that wide.

"Not big, not big." Yan Tianrong said quickly: "Last time, Lord Jiang broke through three times in a row, and the impact was already hundreds of meters. This time it will only be bigger."

"Three consecutive breakthroughs?" Cai Xingchang, Zheng Qiran and others were all surprised. They had never heard of this before, so they became interested and asked in detail.

Upon learning that Jiang Lin had broken through from the peak of martial arts to the seventh level of Yuanwu Realm in just one day, both the commander-in-chief and the lieutenant general could not help but gasp.

After crossing eight realms in a row, is he still a human being?
If not for the solemn testimony of the people around them, and Liao Mingxu and the others who knew about it, no one would believe it.

Cai Xingchang looked at the blacksmith shop with a strange expression. This kind of talent was unheard of and extremely terrifying.

No wonder Marshal Ling promised him the position of general, and Marshal Yu praised this man highly.

It seems to be true that fourteen masters of Xuanhua Dao were killed with one sword.

"What realm will Jiang Lin break through to this time? Will he break through several times in a row?" Cai Xingchang asked.

"I don't know..." Yan Tianrong shook his head.

He was just an eighth-rank clerk, with a second-rank martial arts skill. He was not good at fighting, so how could he know these things?

Cai Xingchang nodded, didn't ask any more questions, just looked over there.

In the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Lin did not start to break through immediately, but stared at the fire of the Hengyu furnace.

During this period of time, he lit the fire more frequently than he hammered the art.

Mainly, apart from weapons, the most important steps in alchemy are in making fire, which allows the proficiency of fire-making skills to be rapidly improved.

In more than two months, the upgrade progress has been met.

This batch of pig iron can just cross that line.

[Material quality improved by 30%]

[Material quality improved by 60%]

[Material quality improved by 90%]

……

In a series of prompts, at a certain moment, Jiang Lin felt the heat surging in his body.

His eyes lit up and he immediately realized that a breakthrough was about to happen!

As soon as he thought of it, the temperature of the Hengyu furnace rose rapidly, and the flames rolled up, turning all the pig iron into molten iron.

Jiang Lin then strode out of the blacksmith shop and stood in the open space outside, allowing the heat to flow through his body.

Cai Xingchang and others saw his figure and were about to speak when they suddenly felt an unimaginable huge pressure coming from that direction.

The vitality of heaven and earth seemed to be gathered from all directions for free, transforming into a dragon and drilling into Jiang Lin's body. The magnitude of that amount was simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The whole world seemed to be shrouded.

Cai Xingchang couldn't help but be moved as he watched the sky and earth change color and the wind and clouds shift.

Is this a breakthrough from the ninth level of Yuanwu Realm to the peak of Yuanwu Realm?
Isn't the noise a bit too loud?

He suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be that the breakthrough is not to the peak of the Yuanwu Realm, but to the Shenwu Realm?"

As soon as these words came out, people gasped all around.

Divine martial realm?
The foundry department was in an uproar from top to bottom.

Is there going to be a blacksmith who is at the Divine Martial Realm?

If someone else said this, they might not believe it, but this is the general who is at the eighth level of Yuanwu Realm!
And the one who is going to break through is Lord Jiang Linjiang, who has created countless miracles!

In many people's minds, his talent has surpassed that of the great blacksmith!
If Lord Jiang breaks through and ascends directly from the ninth level of Yuanwu Realm to the Shenwu Realm, it doesn't seem surprising?
Yuan Gaohao looked at Zhao Yankui with envy and said, "Master Zhao will probably have a disciple at the Divine Martial Realm. It's really enviable. I now regret more and more that I didn't use all my belongings to compete with you for this disciple during that regular test."

Zhao Yankui grinned and said, "Even if you bring your own mother out, you may not be able to win against me. Jiang Lin is not a person who is greedy for wealth and is ungrateful."
