Chapter 16 Jiang Lin’s Passing Line
After taking back the prototype of the tempered tool, Jiang Lin started tempering it again.
Under the influence of the two skills of "Zhizhuo" and "Yunjinfengfeng", he can hit the exact landing point almost instinctively.
Zhao Yankui was a little stunned at the side. Although he had been giving guidance, Jiang Lin's progress was beyond expectations.
Both the accuracy of the falling weight and the choice of landing point are almost perfect.
Looking at this posture, it seems that you have completely mastered the tempering technique?
Zhao Yankui couldn't help but feel envious. Such a talent was simply unheard of.
Blacksmith Qi, who was responsible for holding the embryo, was even more stunned. He was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Lin quickly and completely punching the edge of the knife.
Have you learned this?
Recalling that I was in the hammering area, I practiced for at least three years before I started to use the hammer. It took me five years to get the hang of it, and it took another two years to finally become a formal blacksmith.
But how long did it take Jiang Lin?
In less than a month in the Shaohuo area, his skills are so perfect that he can be called a monster.
But compared with tempering skills, making fire is nothing worth mentioning.
When Jiang Lin stopped banging the hammer, he turned around and asked, "Master, do you think this is okay?"
Neither Zhao Yankui nor Blacksmith Qi spoke. They both looked down at the knife on the anvil in silence, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Zhao Yankui said in a dull voice: "Want to learn quenching?"
Jiang Lin was slightly stunned. Do you want to learn tempering now?
Zhao Yankui's expression became increasingly weird. After asking this question, he was even surprised.
Didn't you come here tonight to help Jiang Lin get familiar with tempering skills? Why did he mention quenching?
Normal apprentices need to practice in the tempering area for at least three to five years before they can come into contact with the quenching field.
Jiang Lin's progress was so fast that Zhao Yankui felt that he was too stupid and was he really qualified to be his master?
What surprised Zhao Yankui even more was that Jiang Lin chose to refuse.
"I haven't mastered my tempering skills yet, and I'm far away from all the masters. Don't rush to learn tempering yet."
Blacksmith Qi felt like vomiting blood when he heard that. Your hammering skills are indeed not very good, they are about the same as me, a thirty-year old blacksmith.
Damn it, you are not even thirty years old!
Blacksmith Qi said quietly: "Young man Jiang, you know that being too humble is equivalent to being conceited."
Of course Jiang Lin had heard this sentence, but he was not deliberately humble.
Although with the help of two skills, I can indeed achieve a tempering level close to that of a formal blacksmith, but that's it.
Jiang Lin looked at the props on the anvil, and the evaluation information was clear at a glance.
[Inferior long knife, 398 defects in total]
Much better than expected, but the number of flaws is still scary.
You must know that when I saw the knives made by other blacksmiths, the number of defects was only more than 200.
This shows that I am not perfect in controlling details.
Just like a student who knows how to answer questions, but has shortcomings such as unsightly handwriting and too long a time.
If you want to be perfect, according to the current situation, the tempering skill must reach at least level 5, or even level 6.
Of course, if there are no defects, the casting will reach the level of quality.
For Jiang Lin, this is the passing line.
Fortunately, his thoughts would not be known to others, otherwise Blacksmith Qi would probably vomit three liters of blood if he heard it.
The lifelong goal of many blacksmiths is to build high-quality weapons. Do you think this is a passing standard?
A perfect score is required to pass, right?
All in all, Jiang Lin has no intention of taking the next step before honing his skills to perfection.
It is his principle to work steadily and make the foundation more solid.
Zhao Yankui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jiang Lin said he would not learn quenching for the time being. He was really afraid that Jiang Lin would learn all about tempering and sharpening. When the time comes, he, the master, would have nothing to teach him, and that would be too embarrassing.
"It's very good that you can be so steady. It does take a lot of practice." Zhao Yankui said.
Jiang Lin asked respectfully: "Master, please give me more advice."
Zhao Yankui glanced at the unquenched prop, his eyelids drooped, and his words suddenly became unclear: "It's a little late today, I'll talk about it next time, it's okay..."
His dark face always felt a little hot, and Zhao Yankui couldn't stay any longer. He ordered Jiang Lin to clean up the things, and then asked Blacksmith Qi to leave.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, the two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
Blacksmith Qi looked back at the young man who was starting to clean up the charcoal ash, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I thought you had taken on a good apprentice before, but now it seems that you have taken on a real evildoer! Compared with him, I These thirty years have been like living like a dog.”
Zhao Yankui's lips trembled, and he also said the same thing.
The apprentice he had accepted was so outstanding, so he should be jumping for joy, but the shock Jiang Lin brought was too shocking, making him feel both sad and happy for a moment.
Naturally, I am happy that my apprentice has a bright future and I have confiscated the wrong person.
The worry is, how long will Jiang Lin have enough to learn "this little skill" that he has mastered?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At today's rate, two days? Or three days?
Zhao Yankui feels miserable...
"Speaking of which, if Dong Songchang sees that Jiang Lin's forging skills are so sophisticated tomorrow, he will be furious to death during the apprenticeship test." Blacksmith Qi suddenly said.
Zhao Yankui's eyes lit up, yes, he was shocked like this, what will Dong Songchang do then?
That insidious villain is bent on using deceitful means to deceive people. Will he be so angry that he vomits blood tomorrow?
Zhao Yankui was in an excited mood and couldn't help but look forward to dawn soon.
On the other side, Jiang Lin knew that he had given the two old masters a little shock today, and this was something he did deliberately.
The tempering skill has reached level 4 and will be exposed sooner or later. In this case, it is better to take this opportunity to expose it first.
In the eyes of Zhao Yankui and Qi Tiejiang, Jiang Lin was already evil enough, but they didn't know that he didn't realize the true effect of his subtle skills.
If those defects were easily eliminated during the forging process and a high-quality tool was created directly, then the two of them would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
After cleaning up the charcoal ash, Jiang Lin returned to the anvil and picked up the sledgehammer again.
The purpose of deliberately hiding my clumsiness in front of Master is to establish a progressive character, but the flaws still need to be eliminated.
He made weapons not just to show off, but to upgrade the oven method!
So far, this knife has contributed less than 2 points of gold essence to Jiang Lin. The real big goal is to eliminate defects.
With a straight look on his face, Jiang Lin took a sledgehammer and hit the long knife hard.
There are more than 300 defects, and it is not easy to eliminate them all.
Ding Dong——
Ding Dong——
It's not as rhythmic as Zhao Yankui's percussion, but every hammer falls where it needs to be.
With the continuous knocking sounds, it took a full hour before all the flaws of the long knife were eliminated.
[Mediocre quality knife blank (not quenched)]
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that even if the details were not done well, he could still reach the level of quality by eliminating the defects.
However, in the description, it is defined as a blade, not a long sword.
This result was much better than expected. Jiang Lin nodded slightly and glanced at other information.
