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

Chapter 71 Breakthrough
jingle——

jingle——

jingle——

The monotonous sound continues, this is Jiang Lin's unique rhythm.

No one would disturb him, otherwise he would be besieged by Zhao Yankui and a group of elite blacksmiths.

With almost no interruptions, Jiang Lin's efficiency in re-forging his skills was very high.

In just five days, almost all of the dozen or so sets of ironware were refurbished.

[Average quality iron scissors, with 18 defects]

Jiang Lin stopped hammering and handed the shiny black iron scissors to Tang the blacksmith who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Tang, please see if there are any other questions."

Blacksmith Tang took the scissors and happily cut a few times with them, and the thin iron sheet was easily cut.

He was so happy: "No problem! There is no problem with your craftsmanship, Master Jiang!"

Jiang Lin smiled and glanced at his message.

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv6 (Proficiency 9872/10000)]

We are not far from upgrading, and just one more piece of iron will be enough.

He looked outside again. It wasn't too late yet, so he should be able to make it in time.

At this time, Zhao Yankui came over and asked, "How is it, how many more items are needed?"

Jiang Lin pointed to several pieces of ironware on the iron table next to him and replied, "Three more pieces and we'll be done."

"Okay, okay, you've worked hard these past few days. After the regular test, Master will treat you to some flower wine!"

Jiang Lin had a strange expression on his face. He thought that his master must have been feeling very depressed recently and was always talking about wine.

This is not something unusual. The blacksmith has a muscular body and is full of energy every day.

In the world before the time travel, one might not even bother to move after being tired after a day's work.

But in this world, with the furnace baking method as the foundation, although ordinary blacksmiths may not be able to gain any extraordinary power from it, the recovery of energy and physical strength is greatly improved.

Otherwise, such high-intensity work would have made people exhausted long ago.

Another point is that there are no women in the blacksmith camp. If you want to be intimate with your wife after you get married and have a family, then ask for leave and go back. Anyway, you are not allowed to bring her in.

He said he was afraid of leaking some military secrets, but in fact, he didn't want those bachelors to be jealous.

This rule has been in place for many years, and even Zhao Yankui would not violate it.

If you want to find a woman, there are plenty of them out there. The thing that Daqian has the most is people.

Picking up a small hammer, Jiang Lin came to the firing area and put it into the furnace to re-calcine it.

As the quality of the material improved, the hammer head gradually turned into bright red.

Several apprentices ran over quickly, handed over water and towels, and looked flattering, which always made people laugh.

You know, Jiang Lin is much younger than them.

However, these apprentices either called him Master Jiang or Master Jiang, and were extremely attentive.

Jiang Lin was a little uncomfortable with this at first, but after five days, he got used to it.

It is normal for the people and things around you to change as your status improves.

Taking the red-hot hammer head to the hammering area, Jiang Lin swung the hammer, took a deep breath, and began to hammer hard.

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities is improved by 1%]

[The quality of pig iron with a lot of impurities has been improved by 3%]...

On the other side, Zhao Yankui was watching a dozen elite blacksmiths working on their ironwork.

Almost everyone of them has a set of high-quality iron tools, and now they are full of motivation and work very hard.

In just five days, hundreds of high-quality weapons have been accumulated.

There are knives, swords, spears, and bows and crossbows.

The only thing that was not made was armor. It was not that we didn't want to make it, but the manufacturing process of armor was more complicated than that of weapons and was very time-consuming.

This is especially true for heavy helmets.

Therefore, armor-related work is basically handed over to the three major blacksmith camps in the east, west and north.

"Master, take a look at our knife!" A blacksmith named Ma happily raised the long knife that had just been sharpened and chopped it hard at the test stone.

One inch into the stone, a genuine top-grade weapon!
"It's okay." Zhao Yankui snorted and said, "You have such a set of first-class ironware, and the iron is made by Jiang Lin, so it's just first-class. Why are you so arrogant? If you have the ability, you can make a few pieces of lower eighth grade, or even lower seventh grade."

Blacksmith Ma blushed at what he said and wanted to argue, but when he thought about it, he realized that Zhao Yankui had once made a complete set of lower eighth-grade ironware, and he really couldn't compare to him.

Besides, Jiang Lin is someone else's apprentice, so what can he say? Just keep your head down and let him scold you.

"I've told you not to show off. In our Southern Blacksmith Camp, is there anyone more qualified to show off than the master chef?" Blacksmith Qi at the side laughed and said with glee.

Zhao Yankui glanced over and said, "Master Qi, it seems that you are quite perceptive, but the efficiency is not very high. Did you not eat? Or did you eat too much?"

Blacksmith Qi gave a dry laugh and said nothing.

When talking to a master chef, you have to know when to stop. If you talk too much, you will easily get scolded.

Of course, everyone knew that Zhao Yankui didn’t really want to scold anyone.

That's just his personality. He speaks directly and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Just then, a loud "bang" was heard not far away.

Even Zhao Yankui's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around to look, only to see a hammer flying into the air and then smashing heavily on the ground.

After being stepped on for nearly four hundred years, the ground, which had long been as hard as iron, was now smashed into a small hole.

Next to the pit, Jiang Lin stood there without moving, and there was no one around him.

He closed his eyes and did not move, but a stream of scorching hot wind appeared out of nowhere and swirled around him.

"This is……"

Blacksmith Qi rubbed his eyes and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God, could Jiang Lin have made another breakthrough? This seems to be a sign of energy leakage, which is only seen in the third level of martial arts!"

Zhao Yankui had a serious expression on his face, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, stay away! If anyone dares to come close, I will skin him alive!"

As he spoke, Zhao Yankui took the lead and rushed to a place less than five meters away from Jiang Lin and stopped.

Besides not wanting to disturb them, the hot wind seemed to be mixed with sharp blades, making people feel pain all over.

"The aura is as deep as the abyss, and the sharpness is unmatched. It seems that he is really a third-grade martial artist!"

Zhao Yankui's eyelids twitched. He had practiced the furnace baking method for so many years, but had only just reached the second level. And his disciple had already caught up?
"I'm really living a dog's life at my age." Zhao Yankui muttered.

Dozens of blacksmiths surrounded Jiang Lin, their faces solemn.

Although they couldn't understand why Jiang Lin could break through so quickly, as the most talented person in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, they would never allow Jiang Lin to get into trouble, both for moral and legal reasons, and for both public and private reasons!
Some blacksmiths on the periphery couldn't squeeze in, so they turned around and looked around.

Almost all the apprentices received their sharp warning looks and lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to act recklessly.

The wind whistled in the blacksmith's shop with such a frightening sound.

What made the apprentices who lowered their heads even more horrified was what kind of breakthrough could make them feel as painful as being scraped by a knife through the crowd!
