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

Chapter 394: Continuing the Family Line (Additional Chapter 23)

Jiang Lin picked up the heaviest holy weapon arrow that could devour light, and said, "This arrow is called Xuanwu. It uses up all the most yang and hard materials. Its body is so solid that even axes and halberds cannot damage it, and wind and thunder cannot destroy it."

Jiang Lin picked up the second colorful black arrow and said, "This arrow is called Bai Ze. It is made by consuming thousands of materials and melting their essence. It is so fierce that even flames cannot burn it and ice cannot freeze it."

After picking up the third arrow made of divine red ancient iron, Jiang Lin's eyes were as sharp as torches and his voice was as loud as a torch that could pierce through the clouds and split rocks.

"This arrow is called Jianbing, and it was made with my own secret recipe mixed with my heart blood. Its power is like thunder, shaking the sky!"

"These three arrows were made with my painstaking efforts and the use of almost all the materials I had saved. There is no other arrow like them in the world!"

"And this Sun-Chasing Bow is a treasure that I am very proud of. I hope it can help the border troops and repel the bandits!"

Looking at Jiang Lin who handed over the Sun-Chasing Bow with an enthusiastic look on his face, Yu Shuai had a strange expression on his face.

You look so radiant, how can you say you've worked so hard?
It looks like it was casually made.

However, when Jiang Lin was making the Black Tortoise Arrow, Marshal Yu saw it and knew that it really took a lot of effort.

Moreover, even he could feel threatened by these three arrows. Their quality was so high that it was rare in the world.

Even though he knew Jiang Lin was exaggerating on purpose, he had nothing to say.

After all, other blacksmiths in the court don’t have this ability.

Even those trained by the Ministry of Industry can only be said to be average compared to Jiang Lin.

"Xuanwu, Bai Ze, and Jianbing." Marshal Yu nodded slightly: "These are good names. If we can defeat the Western Yi archers, you will be the first to achieve the credit. Tell me, what do you want?"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything more. He just handed over the prepared papers in his arms with both hands and said, "I am not a talented official. I just want to provide more materials to help the war in the northwest."

Yu Shuai took the paper and glanced at it. There were various qualities of different types, but he couldn't tell what they were.

There are not many species, only about a hundred.

He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jiang Lin didn't ask for tens of thousands of requests, this wouldn't be difficult.

"When the war in the northwest slows down, I will personally look for it for you. As long as I can make a contribution, I will definitely find it for you even if I have to turn your majesty's private vault upside down!"

Jiang Lin bowed his hands respectfully and said, "The commander's words are as good as gold. I naturally believe them."

"You kid, you put me on such a high pedestal. If I can't find them all, won't I be unable to explain to you?" Marshal Yu scolded with a smile: "Now I'm somewhat glad that you didn't really join the border army, otherwise those stupid guys would be played to death by you, and I would have to praise you a hundred times."

"You are too kind, Marshal."

The arrows were delivered and the materials were agreed upon. Jiang Lin was about to say goodbye when he felt a wave of hidden emotions in his heart.

He turned his head to look at the huge ancient purple gold tree. The emotions came from this Taoist treasure.

After careful perception, Jiang Lin discerned that the meaning of this emotion was: continuing the family line.

Jiang Lin suddenly felt confused. This tree was going to have a baby with him?

The ancient purple gold wood trembled slightly, like the reaction of a person being startled.

Then another wave of emotions came: "Pleading."

Jiang Lin didn't quite understand what the ancient purple gold wood wanted to do, but considering that his Sun-Chasing Bow came from this strange tree, he acquiesced in his heart.

The ancient purple gold tree seemed to be able to really sense his thoughts. The branches swayed slightly, and Jiang Lin suddenly felt as if there was something extra in his arms.

He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at Marshal Yu. The border commander seemed not to notice, so he bowed and said, "Marshal, I have to go back to forge other weapons. I'll take my leave."

"Go ahead." Yu Shuai waved his hand casually.

Jiang Lin turned around and walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, and saw General Cai Xingchang standing there.

"General Cai." Jiang Lin bowed and saluted.

"Sir Jiang." Cai Xingchang returned the greeting very politely, without putting on airs just because his official position was two levels higher than Jiang Lin's.

After Jiang Lin left, Cai Xingchang walked into the Marshal's Mansion and stopped in front of Marshal Yu: "Marshal Yu."

Yu Shuai handed over the Sun Chaser Bow and three arrows, and said, "You go to the northwest in person and give these bows and arrows to Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai, so that we can fight against the eleven archers of the Western Yi."

"Was this made by Lord Jiang?" Cai Xingchang was surprised.

There were three different holy weapon arrows, and each one gave him a strong sense of oppression. He felt that if one of them was shot at him, he would be killed.

"What a strong momentum!" Cai Xingchang exclaimed in praise, then he clasped his hands and said, "I will send it to the northwest!"

"How are the preparations for attacking Xujian Road going?" Yu Shuai asked again.

"We are ready, just waiting for the commander's order."

"Go when you come back from the northwest."

"Yes."

After Cai Xingchang left, Yu Shuai turned to look at the ancient purple gold wood.

"What did you give that boy?"

This question made the ancient purple gold tree tremble slightly, as if it was a little frightened.

How could a border army commander who is at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm be so easily fooled?

I didn't ask before, I just deliberately turned a blind eye.

He casually slapped the trunk of the ancient purple gold tree, causing the strange tree to tremble violently and its leaves to fall down.

A palm print was left on the tree trunk, half an inch deep.

Yu Shuai snorted: "You are playing tricks under my nose, I really deserve to have you burned to death!"

The ancient purple gold tree trembled even more violently, and its spirit clearly sensed Yu Shuai's murderous intent.

However, this murderous intent was fleeting and did not turn into any substantial means.

"That kid is honest and loyal by nature. Your tricks make it seem like he is hiding something from me. It's really an unprovoked disaster. How can I let it go without punishing you?" "Next time if you want to give him something, just give it to him. Can I stop you? Your tricks make me look stingy. It's really too much!"

As Yu Shuai spoke, he slapped again. The ancient purple gold wood made a crisp cracking sound and was almost broken by the slap.

A large number of leaves have fallen off, making it look like a pheasant that has been stripped of its feathers.

After giving him two palm strikes and a little punishment, Yu Shuai did not continue.

He just snorted and said, "Well, I've caused that kid a lot of trouble recently, so I shouldn't dwell on it."

The shaking of the ancient purple gold tree stopped, probably because it felt that the matter was over.

As a result, Yu Shuai suddenly hit with his third palm, and with a snap, several branches were broken.

"You deserve to be beaten for filling the yard with fallen leaves for no reason!"

A breeze blew, and the ancient purple gold tree shook its few leaves, making them messy in the wind.

After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, Jiang Lin walked all the way towards the Blacksmith Camp.

He felt a cool breeze in his arms, but he seemed not to notice it and walked out of Kyoto without looking around.

After arriving at the forest path leading to the blacksmith camp, Jiang Lin turned around and looked in the direction of Kyoto City.

"With Marshal Yu's means, he might have discovered it, but he didn't mention it. He must have pretended not to know. It can be considered intentional."

Jiang Lin sighed slightly. Although he and the Emperor did not see eye to eye, the more he got along with these people from the border army, the harder it was for him to part with them.

After sensing that there was no one around, Jiang Lin took the thing out from his arms.

The seed, which emitted a dim purple-gold light, was held in his palm.

Amidst the waves of coolness, there were also wisps of rich breath that kept interweaving in front of me, as if evolving into the shadow of a towering ancient tree.

[Seeds of excellent quality can grow into a large tree]

Jiang Lin then realized that he had misunderstood.

The so-called continuation of the family line does not mean that the ancient purple gold wood will have children with him, but that it has sent the seeds of inheritance to him.

"But why send the seeds suddenly? Could it be that the ancient purple gold tree sensed some danger and was about to perish?" Jiang Lin was a little confused.

Looking at the seeds in his palm for a moment, Jiang Lin shook his head slightly.

He couldn't figure out why the ancient purple gold wood did this, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

As for this seed...

How to plant?
Buried in soil? Hydroponics?

"How about we use the Hengyu furnace to heat it first?"

The seed trembled slightly in the palm of my hand, like a frightened little baby.

Jiang Lin didn't care about that. He stuffed it back into his arms and flew towards the blacksmith camp.

Back at the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin took out the seeds of the ancient purple gold wood and said in a deep voice: "Today I will give you a great opportunity. If you can hold on, you will be ten or a hundred times stronger than your original body in the future, and you will create your own legendary story."

After a pause, Jiang Lin said, "If you can't make it... it will be an accident, and you can't blame me."

For Jiang Lin, the risk of sending seeds by the ancient purple gold wood is greater than the opportunity.

Even if he could grow another rare tree like this, it wouldn't be worth the risk, and Jiang Lin didn't have that much time to wait for it to grow.

But if the quality of this seed can be improved and its potential can be stimulated tenfold, it is not impossible to take the risk.

After saying that, Jiang Lin opened the furnace door and threw the seeds of the ancient purple gold wood directly into it.

The seed bounced in the air, but the spiritual power of the Hengyu Furnace stimulated the flames and directly swept it in, leaving it no chance to escape.

Jiang Lin stood in front of the Hengyu furnace, looking at the seeds wrapped in the ochre flames, his face calm.

If this seed can't survive, just think of it as feeding snacks to Hengyu Furnace. There's nothing to regret.

He is a blacksmith, not a wet nurse.

The ochre-yellow flame continued to burn, quickly dissipating the hazy purple-gold aura that wrapped around the seeds, and then revealing its true form.

The flames continued to penetrate the seed, causing it to bounce even more violently in the furnace, like a frog on a hot pot.

Jiang Lin's face was calm as a prompt appeared in his field of vision.

[Material quality improved by 1%]

【Material quality improved by 100%】

[Material quality improved by 200%]

……

Jiang Lin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he was not sure whether the seeds could retain their activity during the process of quality improvement.

After all, in the past, the things that improved quality were all dead objects. Living things, like the white monster, would be burned to ashes by the flames as soon as they entered.

[Device found, repairing]

A new prompt appeared, but Jiang Lin's expression remained unchanged.

With repeated reminders, the quality was soon improved to the limit.

A trace of unimaginably heavy breath seeped out from the furnace mouth, but was then immediately wrapped up by the Hengyu Furnace.

Looking at the seeds rising slowly in the furnace, whose overall color had changed from green to pure purple-gold, Jiang Lin's eyes finally changed.
