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

Chapter 51: Crows repay their parents (Part )

After all, Zhao Yankui is a master chef with superb skills and especially sharp hearing.

But he couldn't understand much about just one level of the Hundred Refining Method.

With a complete set of lower eighth-grade ironware in front of him, he just thought that he was too excited today.

By the evening, Zhao Yankui had made a lot of weapons and was ready to call it a day.

Turning around and seeing Jiang Lin still practicing, he said, "It's getting late. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't be greedy."

"Got it, Master. I'll play one more round and then leave." Jiang Lin said.

Zhao Yankui did not try to persuade him much, because he knew how hardworking his disciple was and that most people could not compare to him.

After a while, the apprentices also finished cleaning the stove and passed by Jiang Lin in twos and threes.

"Master Jiang, he's still practicing. We can't catch up with you if you keep doing this."

"Don't be ridiculous. We can't catch up with Master Jiang's skills. He has to pass regular tests this year."

"Hehe, then should we call him Master Jiang or Master Jiang?"

Although the apprentices have been doing more work and are more tired recently than before, with Jiang Lin leading the way, they have created a better atmosphere and become more diligent spontaneously.

Amid the apprentices' calls, the blacksmith shop gradually became quiet, with only the clinking sound of Jiang Lin's hammering continuing.

After a while, the weapon in his hand was forged, reheated and quenched.

The level 5 rebirth skill makes the quenching almost complete.

It's not perfect, but it's comparable to most ordinary blacksmiths.

Putting the unsharpened weapon aside, Jiang Lin turned his head to look at the area belonging to Master Chef Zhao Yankui.

It was located in the middle of the hammering area, with eight pieces of lower-eighth-grade ironware neatly laid out.

Jiang Lin walked over, picked up the sledgehammer, and hesitated slightly.

But soon, his eyes became firm.

"Master is very good to me. Even crows know how to repay their parents. There is no reason for me not to do the same. Besides, the reward in this regular test is what I need, so it is not a risky move."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Lin removed the hammer handle and walked towards the furnace holding the lower eighth-grade hammer head.

Open the furnace door, light the fire, add charcoal, and then put the hammer head in.

The bellows whistled, flames rose, and the temperature was nearly two thousand degrees. Not to mention an ordinary blacksmith, even Zhao Yankui would have to think twice.

But in Jiang Lin's eyes, the flame was so docile, as if he could control it at will.

The hammer head in the furnace was burned red at a speed visible to the naked eye and was taken out at the most appropriate time.

Holding the hammer head, Jiang Lin came to the anvil, picked up his own hammer, and looked extremely sharp.

There are many talented people who are tested regularly, and there are also capable people like Yuan Bingqi who has mastered the Hundred Refining Methods.

If Zhao Yankui wants to win the first place, in addition to his own skills, ironware is naturally the top priority!

The lower eighth grade is not enough!
Jiang Lin wants to make this set of ironware eliminate all defects and go further.

At least it had to reach the lower seventh grade!
Fortunately, he had a lower ninth grade hammer, otherwise, with the quality of the hammer head, an ordinary hammer would not even leave a mark.

jingle——

jingle——

Jiang Lin's training rhythm was as monotonous as ever, but in his field of vision, black spots were being eliminated one by one.

[A hammer of ordinary quality, with 133 defects]

[A hammer of ordinary quality, with 132 defects]

[A hammer of ordinary quality, with 131 defects]

……

Even an eighth-grade hammer still has more than a hundred defects, which indirectly proves that no matter how high the initial grade is, there will still be defects.

After eliminating more than 30 defects, Jiang Lin did not continue to refine the hammer. If the quality of the hammer is improved overnight, there will be no explanation tomorrow. Change it little by little, step by step.

Even if the quality changes at that time, no one will doubt it too much. After all, it is not too uncommon for iron tools to be "slightly" upgraded during use.

Afterwards, Jiang Lin eliminated dozens of defects on the hammer and the anvil before he stopped.

After clearing the ashes, I glanced at the information.

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv6 (Proficiency 1354/10000)]

Not bad. At this rate, I might be able to reach the next level before the regular test.

When we returned to the dining tent, it was already dark. Old Man Wei had been staying up later and later recently.

Jiang Lin sat next to him holding his rice bowl and said, "I will definitely pass this regular test."

Old Man Wei nodded and said nothing more.

Jiang Lin was already used to his silence, so he ate by himself and said, "Master has made a new set of iron tools. If you can win first place, the reward will be very generous."

"Speaking of which, Master Qi is quite an interesting person. He always helps when you least expect it."

"I am almost as tall as Master now. I wonder if he will be unhappy."

"When you become a formal blacksmith, we can keep each other company."

"Actually, the Blacksmith Camp is pretty good. I didn't feel too tired."

"When you look at the stars in the sky, they always seem brighter than before."

Old Man Wei turned his head and looked at him. Jiang Lin was still talking to himself, as if he didn't notice his movements.

"it is good."

"Master told me to go home after the regular test. It's quite far and I don't know the way. Hmm? What did you say?"

Jiang Lin suddenly seemed to realize something and turned around.

Old Man Wei turned his head back and said, "I agree."

Jiang Lin looked at the old man's profile and smiled.

He didn't ask what Old Man Wei had said, and Old Man Wei didn't show any intention of answering, but both the old man and the young man knew what was going on very well.

There was no expression on that old face.

Only the old man's palm, like dry tree bark, was pinching a corner of the wooden step with slight force, but it was not clear under the moonlight.

After a while, Old Man Wei stood up and said, "Don't forget to take a bath."

Jiang Lin smiled as he watched him drive away with the donkey cart.

Does it mean that I have found a relative in this world?
This feeling is pretty good. At least I have something to worry about. Besides allowing myself to live a good life, it also gives me more motivation.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Lin cooked a herbal soup as he did before, then mixed the Qi and Blood Pill into it, then took off all his clothes and jumped in.

He had begun to get used to the pressure from the Qi and Blood Pills, and perhaps because his body was stronger, the pain was greatly reduced.

An hour later, Jiang Lin stood up from the barrel.

His height increased by two or three centimeters again. The surface of his bulging muscles seemed to be coated with a layer of shiny iron sheet. He stood there like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex, full of terrifying momentum.

I stretched out my hand and clenched it, and there was a strange crackling sound in my palm, as if the air was being squeezed to the point of exploding.

There was no need to lift the barrel or crush the beams like last time.

In the morning, Zhao Yankui scolded him for this matter and told him to record it first and deduct it after the salary was paid.

It is true that he cares for his apprentice and that he is strict in management. Zhao Yankui will not show favoritism just because Jiang Lin is his favorite apprentice.

Despite this, Jiang Lin could also feel the changes in himself.

"My strength has increased a little bit. I wonder if I can reach the lower eighth level now. But the increase is obviously much weaker than the previous two times. It seems that I can't take many more Qi and Blood Pills."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin glanced at the message and was slightly surprised.

The progress of collecting fire spirits has been completed!
