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

Chapter 50 Probability of the Hundred Refinements Level (First Update)
In fact, when everyone was still surrounding Zhao Yankui and congratulating him on forging eight pieces of high-quality ironware, Jiang Lin's hammering skills had already been successfully upgraded to level 6.

Although it may seem like you are doing nothing while sitting in front of the stove, you are actually feeling the changes in your body and skills.

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv6 (Proficiency 302/10000)]

[Skill 2: Level 6, Improves the quality of castings by %, and the hammering may increase the level of refining by %]

[Skill 4: Level 2 furnace method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, gold essence and fire essence are the materials, to forge an indestructible golden body, the current progress is gold essence 458.5/1000, fire essence 179.5/200, cannot be upgraded]

Compared with the previous level, the 6th level of Yun Jin Cheng Feng has improved the quality of castings by %.

Based on past experience, there is also a basic bonus to proficiency, which can add about another 5%.

In other words, even if the iron is made by others, after being hammered by Jiang Lin, the quality can be improved by about 25%.

If not for this, Zhao Yankui's set of iron tools would not have so easily possessed the lower eighth grade entropy pattern.

In addition to this, there is a new effect where a hammer drop may increase the level of the Hundred Refining by 1%.

Jiang Lin was somewhat confused about this effect.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qi the blacksmith's exclamation drew many people's attention.

Zhao Yankui came over, and the master and disciple stood together, and their heights were almost the same.

But in terms of physique, Jiang Lin is slightly better.

Qi the Blacksmith was amazed and couldn't help asking, "Jiang Lin, you didn't eat both of the Qi and Blood Pills that Lao Wei gave you, did you?"

"There is still one that is useless." Jiang Lin said.

"Then why did you suddenly... I know!" Blacksmith Qi clapped his hands suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something: "Master, this set of ironware was shaped by you, and finally reached the lower eighth grade. You must have obtained a lot of gold and fire essence in the process, so your furnace baking method has improved!"

Zhao Yankui was also wondering about this, but when he heard what Qi the blacksmith said, he suddenly understood.

Blacksmith Qi laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to be a double blessing. The master got a good set of iron tools, and the apprentice also made a big improvement. God really opened up our South Blacksmith Camp this time!"

The blacksmiths agreed with this and echoed it one after another.

Jiang Lin burst out laughing. He didn't expect that Master Qi was not only top-notch in quenching skills, but also so good at helping him find explanations.

Well, with his explanation, no one thought it was strange that he had made a breakthrough.

"Jiang Lin, after the regular test, you must treat the master chef to a good meal and drink. With your breakthrough at the last minute, your chances of passing the regular test will be much better!" said Qi the blacksmith.

The other blacksmiths all clamored that they also wanted to join in the fun and ask for a drink.

For a moment, the blacksmith shop was bustling with activity.

"We have to drink wine, but now let's do what we need to do." Zhao Yankui smiled and dismissed everyone, then waved to Jiang Lin: "We still owe a lot of weapons for the Nanling camp, let's practice for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Lin nodded in response.

Watching him turn around to get the pig iron to prepare for the fire and hammering, Zhao Yankui subconsciously touched his head and muttered: "Yesterday he was half a head shorter than me, today he is almost the same, this brat..."

Jiang Lin also knew that he had grown a little too fast recently, but what could he do?

Whether it is upgrading the hammering skills or upgrading the furnace method, it has the effect of improving the physique.

In addition, when his fire-making skills were upgraded to level 7, his fire essence was refined. All these factors combined made him as sturdy as a little giant.

But none of this matters. Sooner or later, my growth will surprise everyone, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.

Fortunately, the regular test is imminent. If I can really get a few Qi and Blood Pills, Tiger Soul Pills, etc., then I will have a good reason to break through.

After burning two pieces of pig iron and handing one of them to Zhao Yankui, Jiang Lin asked, "Master, do you know what the Hundred Refinements are?" "You should be talking about the Hundred Refinements Method." Zhao Yankui answered casually, "Take the finest iron and forge it with more than a hundred fires. Each forging makes it lighter. When it is forged repeatedly but its weight does not decrease, it is the purest iron. Its color is clear and bright, and when it is polished, it becomes dark blue and black."

"Weapons forged with this method can cut through iron like mud, and are considered the most powerful weapons of the time. However, to forge five pounds of iron into one pound, you need to stack millions of layers, which is time-consuming and laborious. Unless a famous family wants to pass down a treasure for generations, generally no one would spend decades to forge it."

After a pause, Zhao Yankui said, "Yuan Bingqi from the East Blacksmith Camp was able to forge an eighth-grade weapon out of ordinary iron. He must have used this Hundred Refining Method, but I don't know how many layers he used."

Jiang Lin finally understood what the so-called 1% increase in the number of refining levels meant.

However, hundred-fold-refined steel can be stacked up to millions of layers, so this one percent probability does not seem to have much effect.

Zhao Yankui added: "Although the hundred-tempered steel is good, it is not suitable for us. Ordinary weapons and armor cannot be used for it."

Jiang Lin nodded, that was indeed the case.

Weapons in the army are semi-consumable and are used in huge quantities. If they were all made using the hundred-fold tempering steel method, the output would be alarmingly low.

So for me, this is another way to improve my quality?

After all, even Zhao Yankui would not use the Hundred Refining Method when forging ordinary weapons, but he could passively increase the number of layers.

When the skills are upgraded in the future, the probability will increase accordingly, and the potential is still great.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt enlightened.

At the same time, another thought popped into my mind. With so many skills to improve quality, could I easily create one that is up to standard?

Looking at the red-hot iron block in his hand, Jiang Lin's eyes lit up, and he felt that the ancestor didn't seem so far away.

He shook his head slightly and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Jiang Lin raised the hammer and began to hammer.

[Quality Improved by 1%]

【Quality improved by 3%】

[Quality improved by 10%]

……

The information changes again and again until the quality is improved by 20%.

The most anticipated Hundred Refining Level took more than two hundred hammer strikes to appear.

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

Although it was not weighed, Jiang Lin's eyesight was now extraordinary and he noticed that the iron block in front of him had shrunk a little, but there was not much difference in quality.

At this point, the pig iron has not only been shaped, but has also entered the stage of leveling with a small hammer.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that a one percent probability didn't mean that one out of a hundred hammers would hit the target. It still depended on luck.

"It doesn't matter. Even if only one hammer is produced out of a thousand, it's still a profit! With so many skills to improve quality, we don't need this little bit of improvement for now."

After comforting himself in his heart, Jiang Lin picked up the hammer again and started hammering with all his concentration.

However, he did not notice that Zhao Yankui on the side glanced over from time to time, with deep doubts hidden in his eyes.

"Why does this kid's iron seem to make a slightly different sound when struck?"
