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

Chapter 98 The future is promising
"Fifth grade!" The apprentice puffed out his chest, his face full of pride.

Yuan Gaohao took a breath of cold air. Fifth grade?
To be honest, he didn't believe it.

How could the Southern Blacksmith Camp possibly accomplish something that even the Master Craftsman couldn't do?
But Master Jiang...

"The Master Jiang you are talking about is Jiang Lin?" Yuan Gaohao asked.

"Of course it is."

Yuan Gaohao was silent for a few seconds, then walked forward and separated the people in front of him with his hands.

He was tall and strong, and neither the apprentice nor the blacksmith could support him.

Of course, even if you can, you still have to give way.

Amid the greetings from many blacksmiths and apprentices, Yuan Gaohao led his men to the inner circle, and then saw Zhao Yankui, Yuan Bingqi, Qi the blacksmith and others surrounding Jiang Lin.

Yuan Bingqi was holding a hammer in his hand, which was neither big nor small.

"At least more than twenty floors!" Yuan Bingqi's eyes were bright and he was full of praise. Then he looked up and asked, "How long did it take you?"

Jiang Lin thought about it for a while, and then deliberately extended the time a little: "It should be one or two hours."

Yuan Bingqi was stunned. One or two hours?

Seeing his expression, Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask, "Has it been too long?"

No one in the Southern Blacksmith Camp used the Hundred Refining Method, so he didn't know whether this time was long or short.

Yuan Bingqi's face twitched when he heard this, and he didn't want to pay any attention to him.

This person is so infuriating!

Qi the blacksmith coughed and said, "From burning the fire to hammering, one level takes about an incense stick of time. For twenty levels, it would take an ordinary person four or five hours to get down."

One stick of incense is approximately equal to a quarter of an hour. If there are twenty floors, it will take about four hours at the fastest.

That’s why few people use the Hundred Refining Method: it’s too time-consuming.

Jiang Lin was a little embarrassed. In fact, the entire creation process took less than an hour, and he had deliberately doubled the time. He didn't expect it to be so shocking.

Seeing Yuan Gaohao and his men coming over, Jiang Lin quickly bowed and said, "Master Yuan."

The others then looked up and bowed.

Yuan Gaohao waved his hand casually and looked at Jiang Lin with surprise in his eyes: "How come you have changed so much?"

Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked Zhao Yankui, "Did you give him the Tiger Soul Pill?"

"It should have been his." Zhao Yankui said with a smile.

The smile on Yuan Gaohao's lips was a little bitter. No wonder he couldn't recruit Jiang Lin at the beginning. The friendship between this master and disciple is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

At least if it were him, he might not be willing to give away the Tiger Soul Pill so easily.

Yuan Gaohao shifted his gaze to the hammer in Yuan Bingqi's hand. Although he had not touched it, the four entropy patterns on the hammer were clearly visible, which could not be fake.

The entropy patterns are natural creations, one is the dimmest and the eighth is the brightest.

If one could surpass the previous grade and reach a super-grade magic weapon, the last entropy pattern would be born, like the tree of life, with branches and leaves, and possessing great power.

That is the ultimate blacksmith's dream!

Looking at the four clear entropy patterns, Yuan Gaohao couldn't help but sigh: "Someone can actually use ordinary iron to create a fifth-grade product."

"It was made by Jiang Lin." Zhao Yankui immediately took credit for his apprentice. Yuan Gaohao looked at Jiang Lin with a complicated look.

He thought again of the scene during the regular test when he tried to recruit Jiang Lin but was rejected.

At that time I felt that I had paid a high enough "price", but now it seems that it is far from enough.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that ordinary iron can be used to forge a fifth-grade product would make those powerful and influential people fight over their heads if they knew about it.

Jiang Lin now has a well-proportioned figure after being baptized by the Tiger Soul Pill.

Although he is strong, he is not as burly as other blacksmiths. He looks extraordinary and heroic, and with his resolute face, he looks very good.

If you go on the brothel on the Juliu River, it is not impossible for the prostitutes to pay you money.

Yuan Gaohao couldn't help but wonder how long this young man could stay in the blacksmith camp.

Historically, most blacksmiths with extraordinary skills would be poached by powerful forces. Due to the low status of the Foundry, they did not dare to stop it. As a result, the four major blacksmith camps now appear to be large in number, but in fact they are of varying quality.

There are highly skilled craftsmen like Zhao Yankui and Yuan Bingqi, and there are also lazy people who just eat and wait for death and do nothing.

Although regular tests can uncover some counterfeit goods, they cannot drive away those lazy people who have good skills but are unwilling to do more work.

Shaking his head slightly, not thinking about these things anymore, Yuan Gaohao turned around and looked at the masters of the East Blacksmith Camp, and asked calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Several master chefs were blushing and came in a threatening manner, thinking that even if Zhao Yankui came forward, they would not give him any face.

But a fifth-grade iron hammer directly crushed all their arrogance.

Who doesn't know that Yuan Bingqi is a person who likes to delve into the art of refinement and focus on improving his skills?

In East Blacksmith Camp, no one provided him with these opportunities, not even anyone with whom he could communicate on a daily basis.

For him, the Southern Ironsmith Camp, which can use ordinary iron to forge fifth-grade ironware, is indeed the most suitable place.

At this time, Jiang Lin gently pulled Zhao Yankui and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhao Yankui's eyes lit up slightly, and he said to Yuan Gaohao, "Master Craftsman Yuan, I intend to ask the Foundry Department to rebuild the house according to the number of people in the Southern Ironsmith Camp. In addition, the Southern Ironsmith Camp has agreed to supply weapons to the Nanling Camp. These are additional workpieces, and the Foundry Department should increase this salary. I wonder if Master Craftsman Yuan is willing to join me in making this request?"

Yuan Gaohao looked over and immediately understood what Zhao Yankui meant.

He smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Why do you have to ask your master to speak up for you when you have something to say?"

Jiang Lin bowed and said, "This is a matter for the Ironsmith. I dare not and cannot make decisions on my own. I just thought that Ironsmith Yuan is a kind person and may be able to help the Southern Ironsmith Camp get some of the benefits it deserves."

Yuan Gaohao laughed out loud when he heard this and said to Zhao Yangkui, "I'm afraid the brains of your disciple are not as good as those of the entire Southern Blacksmith Camp combined. With him in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, it may not be worse than when you were here."

Zhao Yankui laughed loudly: "Of course, he is better than me, let's admit it."

Yuan Gaohao could hear the pride in his words and said, "Okay, now that we've come to this point, if I don't agree, it will disappoint my brothers. When we get back to the foundry, we'll go and ask the master craftsman for help. I don't think it's a big deal."

The blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp all heard this with their eyes shining. Are they going to increase the pay?

OK! Very good!

They all looked at Jiang Lin, wishing they could rush over and lift the young man up to the sky. Some were even annoyed that the master chef was too rigid, and asked why he didn't just let Jiang Lin be the master chef!

Now he is just an ordinary blacksmith, but he can get good news one after another from the Southern Blacksmith Camp. What will happen when he becomes a master blacksmith?
In addition to these people, the eyes of several master craftsmen in the East Blacksmith Camp also changed slightly.

Yuan Bingqi saw this and bowed, saying, "Masters, although the South Blacksmith Camp is not as good as the others at the moment, it has a promising future. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. This is a natural thing. Please forgive me."
