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

Chapter 336: The Lost Key

The appearance of the rune cracks made the figure sitting in the layers of clouds stand up, and his every move covered the sky and the sun.

"Lost."

The low and distant voice seemed to have traveled through thousands of years of time, carrying with it an irresistible vicissitudes of life.

He tapped his fingers lightly, and tall runes flashed continuously, then outlined black and white lines.

The ancient breath continues to emanate, interweaving into all things in the world.

One of the most powerful techniques of the Kyōkando.

【Lan Ke】

The axe handle is broken, and we can trace back its origin.

After a long time, the runes stopped flashing and the black and white lines disappeared one after another.

"Daomen?"

A voice with some doubt came out.

The origin of [Lan Ke] can be traced back to Taoism, which makes the Taoist master of Xujian Taoism seem puzzled.

The Jueyuan Sect has been destroyed, and only one mountain master-level figure of the Xuanhua Sect was left after being killed in the heart of Dachen, making it a powerless sect.

As for Xujian Road, although it is not as good as it was a thousand years ago, would that variable exist here?
The clouds sank slightly, as if indicating that the Taoist master's state of mind was affected.

He couldn't think of any variables in the Taoist sect, so everything should be under control.

After a long time, an old man in green walked into this place.

Standing in front of the Rune Land, he felt the gaze of the Taoist Master. It was not harsh, but it contained a scrutiny that he had never felt before.

This mountain master of the Xujian Dao suddenly felt a little more pressured, bowed his head and saluted: "Daoist Master, why did you call me here?"

After a moment, there was an echo.

"Order the mountain masters of each region to send out an incarnation and stand in front of the mountain gate."

The old man in green was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why is that?"

Xujian Dao originally had a method of practicing incarnation. The higher the level of practice, the more incarnations there would be, and even their strength would be the same as the original body.

Therefore, although Xujian Dao has only forty-nine mountain masters, its actual combat power is not inferior to Xuanhua Dao, and is even much stronger.

This question did not receive a response. The old man in green seemed to understand something and said respectfully, "I will obey the Taoist master's order."

After leaving this place, the old man in green flashed, and another almost identical body emerged.

His figure flashed and then appeared outside the mountain gate.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, as if he came here just to relax.

The ten thousand soldiers outside the mountain gate, including the lieutenant general holding weapons, just glanced and did not ask any questions.

Until he received orders, all he had to do was to stay here, and that was all.

……

In the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Lin has already integrated 437 kinds of materials into the Hengyu furnace.

The twelfth branch of the magical treasure tree, plus the remaining amount of the mysterious yellow fire, was lit up by a total of 50%, which was already more than half.

But according to the current situation, the remaining half of the progress will require at least more than 2,000 kinds of materials.

Jiang Lin didn't care and looked at the cocoon in the fire.

He couldn't see much change, but he could sense that his spirituality had increased and was a little clearer than before.

This means that every bit of progress in lighting up the magical treasure tree will have an impact on spiritual energy charging, so the hundreds of materials are not wasted.

Afterwards, Jiang Lin took out the Star-Destroying Hammer, anvil, long sword, Chaos Heavy Arrow and other items for fusion forging.

From morning till night, it never stopped.

Until night fell, the three children were taken back by Old Man Wei for dinner.

It’s still full of red meat, which is a daily necessity.

Miao Yonghuai ate the food vigorously and ate it with relish.

Song Ziyan was eating, and from time to time he looked towards the blacksmith's shop, asking whether he should go and remind his master that it was time to eat.

Sheng Yingchun looked at the blacksmith shop from time to time, but never said a word. Her taciturn appearance was a bit like that of the old man Wei.

Old man Wei sat next to them and said, "No need to ask any more questions. Let's go take a bath after eating."

Since Jiang Lin was an apprentice, he was often busy and came back very late, and Old Man Wei had gotten used to it.

Miao Yonghuai finished his bowl of rice first, and asked for another bowl. At the same time, he asked curiously, "Master is so powerful, why is he still so busy every day?"

In his opinion, powerful people should do less.

Or, there is no need to do so much.

Sheng Yingchun said: "So he is the master and you are the apprentice."

Miao Yonghuai turned his head to look at her, not quite understanding what she said.

Sheng Yingchun had no intention of explaining and just lowered her head and continued to eat her food in small bites.

She ate each bite slowly and carefully, chewing the pieces of red meat and grains of rice until she could fully taste the aroma and sweetness inside, before slowly swallowing them mixed with the gravy.

Among the three apprentices, Sheng Yingchun is most like Jiang Lin when he first came to the blacksmith camp, cherishing everything in front of him.

At this time in the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Lin had already forged all the ironware and weapons. More than 400 kinds of materials were all fused and forged.

The biggest improvements among them are naturally the long sword and chaos heavy arrows.

[A very good quality long sword, hardness +197, sharpness +198, flexibility +191, leveraging heaven and earth energy +65, comes with fire poison, comes with cold poison, comes with evil power, comes with...]

This long sword has reached the level of a mid-grade Yuan weapon. Except for the attribute of prying the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth which is less than 100, the other attributes are close to 200, which is almost as good as an ordinary holy weapon.

As for the various additional features, they are even more dazzling, with so much information that it is a bit difficult to read.

There is no need to worry about the individual properties of a long sword, just incorporate whatever materials are available.

The chaotic color of the blade edge is more obvious, as if it can attract people's souls, which has a bit of evil taste.

The Chaos Heavy Arrow was upgraded from a mid-grade Yuan soldier to a high-grade Yuan soldier.

[An arrow with very good quality, with the effect of Tarsal Maggot, toughness +172, penetration +191, hardness +195]

Although it does not have as many additional attributes and dazzling properties, its hardness and penetration are nearly doubled than before.

Coupled with the improvement of his own grade and equipped with the Sun Chaser Bow, Jiang Lin is confident that he can pierce the chest of a seventh-grade Divine Martial Realm warrior with one arrow!
Perhaps, it could even threaten the eighth level of Daoshenwu Realm?

At present, the Chaos Heavy Arrow should be the easiest thing in Jiang Lin's hand to be promoted to a holy weapon.

It only takes five hundred kinds of materials to go from a mid-grade Yuan soldier to a high-grade Yuan soldier. Even if the number of materials for the next level is doubled, there will only be one thousand kinds, which is only one-fifth of the Hengyu Furnace.

In other words, once Cai Xingchang sends two more supplies, Jiang Lin will have Chaos Arrows of lower-grade holy weapon quality!

Such a huge improvement in quality will bring about a qualitative leap.

By then, even a ninth-grade Divine Martial Realm cultivator might not be able to survive if he encountered this arrow!

As for other iron tools, such as anvils, hammers, iron scissors, fire tongs, etc., they have also been upgraded to the level of medium-grade Yuan soldiers, and their various attributes have increased to varying degrees.

Looking at a pile of objects whose quality had been greatly improved after fusion forging, Jiang Lin felt delighted.

He did not leave the blacksmith shop immediately, but looked at himself again and checked what he had gained during this period.

The last time Jiang Lin gained insight into the rules of heaven and earth through the Xuanhuang Qihuo, he upgraded the levels of many of his skills, including his swordsmanship and boxing, which reached level 8.

Other skills, except archery, all have a minimum level of 7.

Looking at the lowest level of archery, which was only level 6, Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Past experience tells him that any skill will undergo earth-shaking changes when it is upgraded to level 7.

Archery should also be considered as one of the martial arts skills. I wonder if when it reaches level 7, I will be able to create my own moves like swordsmanship and boxing.

If so, what would a self-created archery technique look like?
Thinking about the power of the Sky-Breaking Sword Technique and the Human World Boxing Technique, Jiang Lin was very much looking forward to it.

If the archery techniques were so powerful, combined with the Sun-Chasing Bow and the Chaos Heavy Arrow, he felt that he could kill even the peak of the Divine Martial Realm with one arrow.

"I have to find some time to improve my archery level. Fortunately, the difference is not that big, only a few thousand proficiency points. If I go fast enough, one or two days should be enough." Jiang Lin thought to himself.

In addition, there is also alchemy.

His current alchemy skills have reached level 10, and he can create his own elementary and intermediate alchemy recipes.

Jiang Lin had previously tried to create his own primary pill recipe. After a day and a night, he finally came up with a health-preserving pill recipe called [Wuxiansan].

I haven't tried to refine it yet, so I don't know its specific medicinal properties.

But behind the name of the recipe, there is a suffix [Upgradeable].

Staring at the word "upgradeable", Jiang Lin became slightly interested. Could it be that this [Five Sages Powder] could be upgraded to an intermediate-level pill recipe, or even an advanced or top-level one?

After a little thought, Jiang Lin simply made up his mind.

Sure enough, behind [Five Sages Powder], the three words "upgradeable" disappeared, and were replaced by the words [Upgrading level, 1% completion rate].

After standing there and waiting for a while, Jiang Lin calculated based on the current progress and roughly estimated that it would take at least five days to complete the upgrade.

It’s not too fast, but it’s not too slow either. After all, it’s an improvement from beginner to intermediate level.

In this way, all the recent gains were sorted out, and Jiang Lin then packed up and left.

When he arrived at the dining tent, the three children had already finished their meal and went back to make medicinal soup.

Even Old Man Wei went into the house to look after Miao Yonghuai and Song Ziyan. Jiang Lin lifted the lid of the pot, revealing a large bowl of rice topped with red meat.

Although Daqian Blacksmith Camp now hired a group of specialized chefs to cook, the meals for Jiang Lin and his companions were still prepared by Old Man Wei.

No one will say anything, nor dare to say anything.

Familiar taste, familiar side dishes.

Jiang Lin picked it up happily and squatted on the steps of the dining shed to eat as he did every day.

In the room, Sheng Yingchun was soaking in a wooden barrel. Looking at Jiang Xiu who was massaging her arm, she asked, "Aunt Jiang, Master said that I might need to see something to cry. What is it?"

Jiang Xiu did not stop and said, "How would I know what it is? But since your master said so, there must be a reason for it."

Sheng Yingchun said "oh" and hesitated for a moment. She couldn't help but ask, "Master said that when you love someone, you may not know what to do and can't cry. If Master suddenly died one day, would Aunt Jiang cry?"

Jiang Xiu paused, and Sheng Yingchun suddenly felt uneasy, knowing that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.

But Jiang Xiu did not mean to blame her. She just lifted the hair beside her ear and continued to knead the girl's elbow.

After a moment, she said.

"If that day ever comes, I will probably cry myself to death."
