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

Chapter 40: The Miraculous Effects of Qi and Blood Pills (First Update)
An hour later, Jiang Lin completed the improvements on the two weapons, then he cleaned up and returned to the dining tent.

Old Man Wei was sitting on the wooden steps. When he saw Jiang Lin coming back, he said, "The rice is in the pot."

Jiang Lin glanced over and saw that the wood stove was still burning and had not completely gone out.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Jiang Lin did not go to get the food immediately, but went to Old Man Wei and said, "I'm late today."

Old Man Wei said without even looking up: "Those apprentices rushed to do the work."

In the past, Jiang Lin was the only one who would stay to clean up after dinner, but today almost all the apprentices stayed.

Except for a few people who left reluctantly, everyone else cleaned the dining tent inside and out.

Even the blacksmiths couldn't help but stop and take a look at the changes.

In all the years I have been at the Southern Blacksmith Camp, I have never seen apprentices so enthusiastic.

The one who brought about all these changes was a young man named Jiang Lin.

There are always people saying that if you can't change the environment, change yourself.

Jiang Lin never changed himself, but he changed the environment.

Jiang Lin nodded, then went back to lift the lid of the pot and took out the bowl of rice covered with red meat.

Zhao Yankui took the silver himself and asked Old Man Wei to give Jiang Lin an extra piece of red meat every day to nourish his body. This is something many people envy, but cannot achieve.

Although Old Man Wei’s cooking skills were not very good, Jiang Lin still ate very happily after a tiring day.

Seeing that Old Man Wei was still sitting on the wooden steps, Jiang Lin walked over with the bowl and sat down next to him.

"Master Wei, can you tell me about the border troops?"

"Border troops."

Old Man Wei said in a low voice, "It's not a good place, but it's also a good place."

They live in a tense and exciting environment every day where they may die in battle at any time, but they can also vent these negative emotions by killing their enemies.

Good or bad, people outside may have their own answers, but people living in that kind of place don’t.

"If you want to live longer, don't join the border army." Old Man Wei suddenly said.

Jiang Lin chewed the red meat carefully and said, "I don't want to go yet, and I may not have the chance to go."

Liao Mingxu told him to join the army, but the Nanling camp was now guarding Kyoto, so it was basically unlikely that any fighting would take place.

If even this place is not peaceful, the Daqian Dynasty will probably be doomed.

Old Man Wei turned to look at him and said seriously, "You are doing well. Live a few more years."

Jiang Lin looked into his eyes and seemed to see an indelible look of nostalgia.

I guess Old Man Wei must have seen a lot of dead people.

In addition to enemies, there are also companions.

The old man and the young man fell silent.

After a long time, when Jiang Lin finished his meal, Old Man Wei also stood up and said, "Remember to make the medicine soup at night."

Watching him limping away with the donkey cart, Jiang Lin sat on the wooden steps holding the bowl, somewhat absent-minded.

After a long time, he stood up and nodded slightly, as if responding to that sentence.

"Well, live a few more years."

After washing the dishes, Jiang Lin brought a large iron bucket from the blacksmith shop and poured the boiling water mixed with the herbs in the pot into the bucket.

Then he took out the Qi and Blood Pill and threw it in. It looked to be the size of a pigeon egg, but it dissolved as soon as it entered the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lin looked at it carefully again and again, feeling a little confused.

Even the color of the herbal soup didn't change. Is there too much water?

"Forget it, it's better than nothing. It's free anyway."

Jiang Lin muttered to himself, took off his clothes, jumped into the bucket and sat down.

The strong herbal smell that filled his nose made him dizzy, and before he could even take a breath, he felt a sharp pain.

It was as if there were ten thousand needles hidden in the water, stabbing you from all directions without any blind spots. The feeling was indescribable.

The most important thing is that even if Jiang Lin wanted to get up now, he couldn't. The herbal soup around him seemed to have an extremely huge pressure, pressing him in tightly, and it was difficult to even lift his arms.

Jiang Lin did not think that he was the victim of an assassination. He had no grudge against the engineer Yu Maoming, so there was no need for him to resort to any despicable means.

Now I can only grit my teeth and bear it!

After half an incense stick of time, Jiang Lin began to see dense blood beads all over his body, as if too much blood in his body was being squeezed out.

What's strange is that these blood beads will not be washed away by the herbal soup, but will remain tightly attached to the surface of the skin and continue to increase over time.

At first it was only the size of a needle tip, but gradually it became as big as a sesame seed.

After another half an incense stick of time, the pressure suddenly increased and Jiang Lin couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

This time it no longer felt like needles pricking my flesh, but rather like countless iron spikes hammering at my flesh.

One wave after another, without a moment's rest.

The blood beads on the surface of the skin began to shrink and continue to seep into the flesh.

If it were someone with less strong willpower, he would have fainted by now.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin's will was strong enough, and he held his breath to stay conscious.

I don't know how long it took, but the pressure began to ease, and the blood beads that had expanded to the size of mung beans drilled into the body at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Lin felt like a balloon that was about to burst. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, wondering why no one told him the specific process. He thought it was just a simple bath.

After a moment, all the stress and pain disappeared.

Jiang Lin couldn't bear it any longer and jumped out of the bucket, but he still felt uncomfortable all over.

I moved my hands and feet subconsciously, but there was a series of creaking and crackling sounds.

The sound was like a series of firecrackers, going off non-stop, and an extreme sense of comfort followed, making him stretch all parts of his body involuntarily.

When the sound stopped, Jiang Lin raised his arm and saw that the muscles on his arm were at least two times bulged than before!
I placed my left hand on the edge of the vat, but something just didn't feel right.

When he looked down, he saw that the edge of the bucket only reached his hips, it should have been waist-high.

The barrel couldn't have shrunk, the only possibility was that he had grown taller.

Jiang Lin touched the bulging muscles on his chest. The steel-like touch and hardness made him want to find a hammer and hit himself with it a couple of times to try.

Now he looks like a little giant. His height has increased by at least ten centimeters, and his muscles have become one or two times stronger.

Even if Zhao Yankui stood here, he wouldn't be much stronger than him.

And this is not the biggest gain!

When Jiang Lin habitually glanced at his message, he was stunned.
