Chapter 9 The Blacksmith’s Apprentice
The next day, Yang Pingan came to the blacksmith shop wearing a set of ordinary old clothes and started his apprenticeship as a blacksmith.
The boss Tielin took good care of Yang Pingan and directly arranged for an old blacksmith with better skills to be Yang Pingan's teacher.
The old blacksmith's surname was Lin, called Lin Daniu, and everyone in the shop respectfully called him Master Lin.
Everyone in the shop understood that Yang Pingan was just a temporary blacksmith, and his future goal was definitely to become a soul master. Therefore, Yang Pingan did not formally become a disciple, but directly studied with Lin Daniu.
After entering the blacksmith shop and starting to study, Yang Ping'an felt a slight throbbing in his body. After thinking carefully, he directly summoned the Purple Gold Mastiff.
After the Purple Golden Mastiff entered the blacksmith shop, he seemed to be relatively satisfied with the environment of the blacksmith shop. Even though he was still sleeping, he seemed to be sleeping more soundly.
After Yang Pingan communicated with his boss Tielin, he directly found an empty workbench in the blacksmith shop and let the Purple Gold Mastiff sleep on the empty workbench. As for other things, he didn't need to worry about it.
Of course, Yang Ping'an also warned the Purple Gold Mastiff that he must not fart in the blacksmith shop, otherwise he would be driven away.
The Purple Gold Mastiff seemed to be very spiritual. After hearing Yang Pingan's instructions, he opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Yang Pingan with contempt, and then continued to sleep.
It has to be said that although the Purple Gold Mastiff is very weak, a very big advantage is that it consumes very little soul power after being summoned, and it can basically be separated from the body for a long time.
After Yang Pingan settled the purple mastiff, he began his apprenticeship as a blacksmith.
From this day on, Yang Ping'an made complete plans for his training. He ran inside the school early every morning and practiced boxing and kicking.
I went to class in the morning, but I basically didn’t listen much during class. Instead, I borrowed many books from the library and read them during class time. Sometimes I even went directly to the library to read and didn’t go to class at all.
I went directly to the blacksmith shop for lunch. After lunch, I worked in the blacksmith shop. The workload was relatively heavy and I had to work until evening.
After dinner, the blacksmith shop was about to close, and Yang Ping'an returned to the dormitory to meditate and rest. Each meditation lasted one night.
After some planning, basically every day is full and busy. At least the body is exercising with high intensity.
In the first three months of working in the blacksmith shop, blacksmith Lin Daniu arranged for Yang Pingan to do some odd jobs.
In fact, although blacksmithing is just a hard-working job, the work is also very complicated. In addition to mastering blacksmithing and skills, you also need to understand various things.
These include the selection and use of iron ore, the use of bellows to ignite and control the fire, the identification of various iron ores, the identification of various iron ores, and even some iron ores contain many different elements that need to be separated. etc.
In the first three months, in addition to Blacksmith Lin's arrangements, I also had to help other blacksmiths with some things, including some carrying tea and water.
These tasks may seem very simple on the surface, but for Yang Ping'an, a six-year-old child, they are also very heavy tasks. After finishing the work every afternoon, he is basically exhausted. This kind of odd job lasted for three full months. During these three months, Yang Ping'an obviously felt that his body seemed to have become a lot stronger, and his strength had increased a lot. His body, which was originally relatively thin, even Some muscle lines began to appear, which were a bit beyond the scope of a six-year-old child.
Yang Ping'an was also very nervous the rest of the time.
Practicing boxing and kicking every morning. In addition to the boxing skills originally taught by his father, Yang Pingan also does 500 push-ups, 500 frog jumps and 5 kilometers of running every morning.
There are only about two hours of exercise every morning, that is, you have to get up at six o'clock and finish it before eight o'clock, otherwise it will affect your morning study.
After this exercise every morning, I quickly eat breakfast to replenish energy and start studying in the morning.
Although Noting Primary School is a junior soul master academy, there are a lot of books in the academy. There are many books on martial arts and cultivation, but they are generally not too profound.
Unexpectedly, Yang Pingan actually found an advanced meditation method in the library, and the meditation method was actually marked as being provided by Yu Xiaogang. However, because it was too profound, many primary school students scorned it, and Yang Pingan It is regarded as a treasure.
Of course, there are many books provided by Yu Xiaogang in the library, including the famous "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Arts", Soul Ring Age Table, and even his other books.
However, judging from the appearance of these books, they should not attract much attention from students. At least these books are much newer than other books.
Yang Pingan, on the other hand, does not reject anyone who comes, and basically reads all books carefully. Yu Xiaogang's theories may be wrong or have certain limitations, but they also have certain reference value, at least for Yang Pingan now. Said, it is a treasure for learning.
Meditation in the evening is the focus of everything. After every afternoon, Yang Ping'an returns to his dormitory to meditate after his tired muscles all over his body are a little sore. Under such extreme fatigue, the meditation speed is obviously better than usual. .
After three months of study, Yang Ping'an's soul power finally improved a bit, and his soul power reached the first level. At this speed, it can be said to be as powerful as a tortoise.
And this is still the very beginning of meditation. You must know that the higher the soul power level of a soul master, the slower the speed of soul power improvement. Judging from this speed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to upgrade two levels in one year, especially after reaching the ninth level in the future. , breaking through from level nine to level ten is a small bottleneck.
This kind of bottleneck may not be a big deal to those geniuses, but for Yang Ping'an, who has half a level of innate soul power, every major level transcendence may be a bigger bottleneck.
In addition to Yang Pingan's hard training every night, spending half a level of soul power in three months also had certain benefits from being in the blacksmith shop for a long time during the day.
Yang Ping'an always felt that the body of the Purple Gold Mastiff in the blacksmith shop seemed extremely happy. The Purple Gold Mastiff could also absorb more metallic elements in this environment. He always felt that every time the Purple Gold Mastiff returned to his body, his own body would also feel a little different. The slightest change, this change is so small that it is difficult to even feel it.
But Yang Ping'an could somehow feel the changes in his body. He always felt that something was wrong with his body, but he could never find the cause and source of this wrongness.
And despite the fact that he only meditates at night every day, Yang Ping'an feels that he is very pressed for time. He meditates for almost eight hours every day. This time can be said to be very long, even far exceeding the time for sleeping.
