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

Chapter 6: The Future is Comparable to a Saint
If you want to forge a magic weapon of the same level as your ancestor's, it is probably not a simple matter of eliminating defects. The quality of the raw materials for casting must also be very high.

Jiang Lin did not forget what Zhao Yankui and others said, that when the ancestor forged the three magic weapons, the rain master cast a spell to sprinkle rain, the thunder god struck the bellows, the dragon brought gold ore, and the emperor of heaven brought coal ore.

The so-called gold ore in this world refers to iron ore.

But it goes without saying that it was definitely not ordinary iron, and the charcoal brought by the Emperor of Heaven himself was definitely not ordinary charcoal.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Lin's eyes sparkled and his fists clenched.

Originally, I just wanted to become a formal blacksmith, and with the help of my own efforts and skills, I could move up step by step and live a good life that everyone envied.

But now, it is not enough to be a blacksmith who can live a good life. One needs to possess an indestructible golden body and become a saint on the spot like the ancestor!
After arriving at the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin immediately started to light the fire, eager to improve his skills.

Zhao Yankui in the hammering area was instructing a blacksmith and looking towards the fire-burning area.

Seeing that Jiang Lin had no intention of coming to him to ask questions, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. If he didn't want to learn the furnace baking method, why didn't he come to ask?
I thought to myself that Jiang Lin might be afraid of annoying me by asking too many questions.

Well, it fits his calm personality.

Don't be in a hurry. If you can't understand the contents of the booklet, it will come sooner or later. Just wait.

Jiang Lin had no idea that a certain master chef was waiting for him to ask for advice so that he could take the opportunity to recruit him into his team.

After opening the furnace, he filled it with pig iron and started the fire as usual.

As the color of the iron block changed, Jiang Lin could feel something coming out of the fire and merging into his body.

When the two pieces of pig iron burned bright red, he glanced at the information.

[Skill 4: Level 1 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 0/100, fire essence 0.1/100, cannot be upgraded]

So it took so long to collect only 0.1 fire essence?
According to the frequency of burning fire in the past, a maximum of 5 fire essences can be collected per day, which means that it will take at least days to meet the progress requirements.

too slow!
I don’t know how long it will take those blacksmiths, but it should be faster than me, right?

As for the collection of gold essence, since there is none in the furnace fire, it is likely that it needs to be obtained through hammering.

While thinking, Jiang Lin had already arrived at the hammering area. After handing the pig iron to the blacksmith, he asked for the hammer again.

With yesterday's help, the blacksmith had no intention of refusing, but only reminded him to be careful.

The hammer always hits the target crookedly, which can easily hurt your waist and wrist.

This was of course well-intentioned. Jiang Lin nodded and thanked him, then swung the hammer with both hands and smashed it hard on the anvil.

At this time, many apprentices had just come in. Seeing Jiang Lin swinging the hammer in the hammering area again, many of them subconsciously sneered.

In their opinion, it was simply embarrassing for an apprentice who had not spent a full month in the fire-burning area to go to the hammering area.

clang--

There was a crisp sound, and the bursting sparks made Jiang Lin's face turn red, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

The improvement brought by level 2 Yun Jin Cheng Feng is indeed huge!

Yesterday, Jiang Lin could only hit the target twice out of ten hammers, but today he got the first prize right at the start, which surprised some people.

But that’s all. As I said before, getting the landing point right is the basic skill of a blacksmith and it’s nothing to be surprised about.

If Jiang Lin wasn't a complete newcomer, I'm afraid no one would even take a second look at him.

Jiang Lin didn't care about other people's opinions. After the hammer dropped, he stared at the information.

[Skill 4: Level 1 furnace baking 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 0.01/100 gold essence, 0.1/100 fire essence, cannot be upgraded] He frowned slightly. With one hammer, he only collected 0.01 gold essence?

If you hit it a hundred times a day, you will only get 1 point of gold essence, which is at least five times slower than the collection speed of fire essence.

"Forging is more important than burning fire, so gold essence is more difficult to collect than fire essence. If that's the case, wouldn't it take a hundred days to collect it all?"

"Besides, this is only the Level 1 furnace method, which can only take the mortal body one step further. It will take a hundred days, and we don't know how long it will take to reach the requirements of the indestructible golden body."

Jiang Lin thought to himself that fire essence was easy to collect, but gold essence was more difficult. He must switch his time allocation and stay in the tempering area more often.

However, it is not easy. There is too much work assigned by the foundry and every blacksmith is extremely busy.

Allowing him to find time to hit twice with the hammer is already a privilege, we have to think of a way.

While thinking, Jiang Lin did not stop moving his hands and struck down five times in succession.

There were continuous clanging sounds, two of the hammers hit the exact spot, and the other three slipped away.

Qi the blacksmith praised: "Good boy, you use the hammer much better than yesterday. Just practice for a few more days!"

He didn't say this to compliment a young apprentice, he really admired Jiang Lin's talent.

Unfortunately, master chef Zhao Yankui also took a fancy to Jiang Lin. Blacksmith Qi felt even more regretful and wondered why he hadn't brought Jiang Lin with him a few days earlier.

Jiang Lin also knew that the blacksmiths were eager to use the hammers, so he did not delay any further.

While returning the hammer, he asked, "Master Qi, are there any spare hammers in the camp?"

"There are none left." Qi the Blacksmith shook his head and said, "The border battle was tough, and all the iron tools were used as much as they could."

After a pause, Blacksmith Qi lowered his voice slightly and said, "If you want a new hammer, go find the master."

According to the rules, an apprentice is not qualified to own a hammer unless the master is willing to give it to you.

Blacksmith Qi's words were a reminder to Jiang Lin that if he wanted to accomplish anything, he had to have someone behind him.

Jiang Lin subconsciously looked towards Zhao Yankui. The burly man was instructing a blacksmith.

After a brief thought, Jiang Lin thanked Blacksmith Qi and turned back to the fire-making area.

Zhao Yankui also looked up at this time. He had noticed the gaze just now and thought that Jiang Lin would come over to find him, but he didn't expect that he would leave.

Zhao Yankui couldn't help himself and came over to ask Qi the blacksmith what he had just said.

Blacksmith Qi told Jiang Lin about his desire for a hammer, and then said, "Although this kid is still an amateur in terms of strength and posture, his accuracy is already pretty good. I estimate that he can hit five or six out of ten hammers."

Zhao Yankui also saw Jiang Lin swinging the hammer and realized that what Qi the blacksmith said was true.

But as the master chef of the Southern Blacksmith Camp, I can't lower my status to go find him.

So far, Jiang Lin’s talent can only be said to be very good, and he is considered to be the best among all the apprentices, but it is not to the point where Zhao Yankui would ignore his status.

What Zhao Yankui couldn't understand the most was that Jiang Lin, who had been very interested in hammering before, never mentioned it again after he returned.

He didn't even bother swinging the hammer. After delivering the cooked pig iron, he immediately ran back to the firing area.

Zhao Yankui was a little confused. What's wrong with this kid?

Don’t want to make progress?
