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

Chapter 359: Special Abilities of Different Holy Soldiers

For Jiang Lin personally, the importance of the strange fire is lower than the inheritance of alchemy.

But on the other hand, even without the inheritance of alchemy, he could still improve his cultivation by upgrading his blacksmithing skills.

On the contrary, the materials needed for the upgrade of Hengyu Furnace are too many.

A kind of strange fire can replace ten thousand kinds of materials.

Now news came from Zuowang Tower that Sangzhou not only had rare fire, but also might have an alchemy inheritance, which forced Jiang Lin to make a trip.

But before that, there is one important thing to do, which is to return the weapons of the soldiers who died in the last attack.

This job was not difficult for Jiang Lin. All the weapons had been collected and then stuffed into the Hengyu furnace.

During these ten days, Jiang Lin was fusing and forging, and Hengyu Furnace was constantly repairing the damaged weapons.

He reached out and pulled out a long knife. On the handle, there was a name engraved.

Xu Fanlin.

Jiang Lin didn't know who he was or what he looked like, he only knew that he was one of the border soldiers who died in this battle.

Therefore, before putting the weapons into the furnace, their names were engraved one by one to avoid confusion.

Jiang Lin rubbed his fingers gently on the name "Xu Fanlin" a few times, and the information about the knife appeared in his field of vision.

【Long sword of average quality】

It was very simple, without any extra attributes or additional features, only eight entropy patterns emitting a faint glow on the blade.

The highest grade item has a market price of six hundred to eight hundred taels per piece.

Weapons that have been repaired by the Hengyu Furnace are at least of the top grade, as long as they are not specially injected with the vital energy of heaven and earth.

There are some exceptions, which trigger the effect of 5% re-calcination to increase the grade, reaching the grade of low-grade precious weapons.

Jiang Lin did not deliberately avoid these special cases. I believe that even if the Ministry of War saw them, they would not say anything.

After taking out each weapon from the Hengyu furnace and making sure they had been completely repaired and their quality was no problem, Xie Yunfan led his men in from outside.

When Xie Yunfan saw that the table was full of top-grade items and even some precious weapons, he was stunned.

He thought that the so-called restoration was just to forge it again and make it almost the same as the original, but he didn't expect there would be such a big change.

"Master Jiang, this..."

"My skills are so advanced that I can no longer create weapons of low quality." Jiang Lin said.

This sounded like bragging, but Xie Yunfan didn't think it was wrong at all.

He solemnly bowed to Jiang Lin and said, "On behalf of those brothers, I would like to thank you, Lord Jiang."

Jiang Lin waved his hand and said to the commander of the garrison outside, "Wait until they take it away before you take it."

The commander nodded and also bowed, saying, "I understand."

Jiang Lin then stepped aside and watched Xie Yunfan and his men come over to pick out the weapons engraved with the names of the border soldiers, put them in boxes, and then pile them on the carriage.

It doesn't take much time to pick out hundreds of weapons.

Soon, Xie Yunfan finished his selection, and the people from the garrison camp followed in.

Xie Yunfan stood beside the carriage, bowed to Jiang Lin, and then led his men away.

A captain turned around and looked at Jiang Lin in the blacksmith's shop, and then said, "This Lord Jiang is really different. He is probably the only one in the world who cares so much about the dead."

"Isn't it good?" Xie Yunfan asked.

The captain was startled by the question, then said, "It's not that I'm saying it's bad, I just feel that Lord Jiang is different from others."

Xie Yunfan hummed and didn't say anything else.

But I couldn't help thinking that if there were people like Lord Jiang everywhere in the world, the world might be a little better.

Who is really not afraid of death? It's just that the world forces you to accept such rules.

Once someone stands up and tries to break this rule, he will either be regarded as a freak or... be supported.

But many people do not realize this, or perhaps Jiang Lin’s personal influence is not big enough and is still limited to this small piece of land.

Soon, the soldiers of the garrison camp also took away their weapons. When the commander bowed and was about to leave, Jiang Lin suddenly said, "After a few days, I..."

He stopped talking halfway.

The people in the garrison looked at him, puzzled.

"Master Jiang?"

"Nothing, let's go." Jiang Lin waved his hand.

The people in the garrison camp looked at each other and then bowed and said goodbye.

When they left, there were slight smiles on their faces.

Jiang Lin just wanted to say that he would ask someone to check in a few days to see whether the weapons have really reached the hands of those families, so as to prevent someone from enriching themselves and taking the profits.

The reason why he stopped talking halfway was because he knew that even if he could shock these people at the moment, it would be meaningless.

If those families have a background, they will naturally not live too badly. If they have no background, they will not be able to keep the things even if they are given, and may even bring unnecessary disasters upon themselves.

So Jiang Lin did not force this matter to be accomplished, he just wanted to have a clear conscience.

In the world of Daqian, human life is worthless. If you can't be the one to overturn the table and reshape the rules, you can only watch all this happen. There is no other way.

As for the border troops, Jiang Lin didn't think they would do so. Many of the garrison troops were from powerful clans or children of court officials, who were more familiar with and more in agreement with this set of cold rules.

The border troops are better. At least they value friendship and loyalty. No matter what happens outside, they still take care of their own people.

After watching the people from the garrison camp leave, Jiang Lin turned around and looked at the empty Hengyu furnace. Only the strange green fire was still dancing in the furnace cavity.

After finishing this task, Jiang Lin rested for a night and started to fusion forge the long sword early the next morning.

There were so many materials on hand that it took several days to improve the long sword to the level of a lower-grade holy weapon.

[Excellent quality long sword, hardness +497, sharpness +498, flexibility +391, leveraging heaven and earth energy +165, comes with fire poison, comes with cold poison, comes with evil power, comes with... increased swallowing growth ability]

Jiang Lin let out a light exclamation as he looked at it. It went without saying that the properties such as hardness and sharpness had increased. It was normal that there were already thousands of miscellaneous characteristics.

It is the last item, which increases the ability to devour and grow, that looks different.

The literal meaning seems simple, but it is not easy to understand.

Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then picked up a long knife and chopped at the iron table next to him.

A corner of an ordinary iron table was easily chopped off.

Jiang Lin vaguely sensed the slight changes in the long sword, but the changes were too small to distinguish too much.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lin picked up the long knife and started chopping at the things around him.

He chopped so many times that even the anvil had several grooves cut into it before he stopped.

At this time, Jiang Lin sensed more changes.

He glanced at the information on the long sword, and then a slight smile appeared on his face.

[Excellent quality long sword, hardness +503, sharpness +504, flexibility +393, leveraging heaven and earth energy +166, comes with fire poison, comes with cold poison, comes with evil power, comes with... increased swallowing growth ability]

That’s right, every attribute has been slightly improved compared to the beginning.

Although there were only a few points, they verified Jiang Lin's guess.

This knife can devour what you need by chopping other objects.

It's a bit like fusion forging, but very different.

Fusion forging can improve the grade, but the devouring growth ability of this knife has nothing to do with the grade.

As long as enough things are cut, theoretically even if it is just a precious weapon, it can grow infinitely until it can be compared with a divine weapon.

In other words, it is equivalent to infinitely increasing the upper limit of this knife!
"It's a pretty good special ability, and it has some similarities to the ability of the Hengyu Furnace to refine everything. Could it be that all the Saint Soldiers have this kind of self-growth ability?"

Jiang Lin was not sure because he had never seen the native holy soldiers of this world.

But I think it's unlikely.

If holy soldiers can really grow infinitely, what is the use of divine soldiers?

Besides, I haven’t seen anyone using a holy weapon to devour things to grow.

The most important thing is that Jiang Lin forged four chaos arrows of holy weapon grade, and the holy weapon-grade ability he obtained has a 1% chance of being irresistible.

"There are too few samples available for reference at the moment, and it is meaningless to think too much."

Jiang Lin shook his head and put the question behind him.

It doesn’t matter whether other holy soldiers have such ability, as long as he has it, it’s enough.

Afterwards, Jiang Lin forged thirty holy-grade Chaos Arrows through fusion forging.

[Extremely high quality arrow, with Tarsal Maggot effect, Toughness +372, Penetration +391, Hardness +395, % chance of being unresistable]

It's similar to the previous information, but with stronger properties.

Jiang Lin picked up Zhuri Bow and put it on his back, then turned around and left the blacksmith shop.

Seeing him carrying the divine bow and the long sword on his waist, Old Man Wei came over and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Sangzhou." Jiang Lin glanced at Miao Yonghuai and Sheng Yingchun and said, "I'll leave the two children to you. I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Old Man Wei also knew that Jiang Lin was no longer the apprentice he used to be. There were too many things for him to do. He was lucky to be able to continue living in the blacksmith camp.

Jiang Lin went to see the blacksmith Qi again and told him that he was going on a long journey.

"Sangzhou? What are you going there for, sir?" asked blacksmith Qi.

"I heard that there is a kind of strange fire over there that can be used for Hengyu furnace. Let's go and take a look." Jiang Lin did not hide his purpose.

Qi the blacksmith said, "If that's the case, then you can go, sir. We will take care of this place."

After a pause, Qi the Blacksmith said with some concern: "Although there have been no attacks or murders in the past ten days, you still need to be careful and cautious when you go out."

"I will."

The people Jiang Lin finally found were Xia Shanliu and a few others. In the last attack, these old alchemists ran very fast.

As soon as the three weirdos arrived, they rushed out of the blacksmith camp and were not affected at all.

Jiang Lin didn't blame them for not staying to help. After all, the old men had just arrived and didn't have a sense of belonging here.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. When encountering something, their first reaction is to protect their own safety first, which is reasonable.

"Sangzhou?" Xia Shanliu hesitated and said, "When you go there, don't tell your superior that you are an alchemist, or you may get into trouble."
