Chapter 22 Reward (Third Update)
Yuan Gaohao then smiled and said: "Master Craftsman's oven technique has reached the fish and dragon realm of the fifth level of martial arts. As an apprentice, you can block 50% of the breath without vomiting blood. You are indeed gifted."
< br>
Jiang Lin was slightly shocked. Is this 50% of the aura?
If he really used his hands, he could be crushed to death with one finger.
"May I ask, sir, how many levels of martial arts are there?" Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask.
"One to nine levels, one is the lowest, and nine is the extreme." Yuan Gaohao said.
"Isn't it higher?" Jiang Lin asked again.
Yuan Gaohao laughed and said: "There is naturally a supreme divine way above the ninth-grade martial arts, but that is not what we blacksmiths can hope for, unless you can also create a true magic weapon like the ancestor."
Jiang Lin didn't ask any more, just thinking that it was no wonder that the oven method was not taken seriously by blacksmiths.
The master craftsman is the top one among the four blacksmith camps. There is probably no one in the entire Daqian Dynasty who can match him.
Such a person is only equivalent to the fifth level of martial arts, and there is still a long way to go before the extreme level of martial arts. Ordinary blacksmiths may only be able to reach the first level in their lifetime.
As for the so-called supreme divine way, it is far away and cannot be expected.
Yu Maoming took out a red pill from his arms and threw it over. Zhao Yankui quickly dodged it, while Jiang Lin subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.
"Boy, this is additional compensation for hurting you. It is not included in the reward for today's test." Yu Maoming said.
Yuan Gaohao explained: "This is the Qi and Blood Pill for people in the Taoist sect. It may be ordinary to them, but it is of great use to us blacksmiths. One pill is enough to be worth hundreds of kilograms of red meat!"
Before Jiang Lin could react, Zhao Yankui had already pulled him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Craftsman, soon."
When Jiang Lin came back to his senses, he didn't understand that the breath just now was both a test and the reason for throwing out the pill.
Only when you hurt someone can you make compensation, which is reasonable and reasonable.
Yu Maoming said no more, and Zhao Yankui patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder with a smile in his eyes: "Good boy, there are not many things that the Four Camps can do to the Master Craftsman's praise."
"It's all thanks to Master's teachings. If it weren't for your and Master Qi's teachings yesterday, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." Jiang Lin said modestly.
Zhao Yankui laughed loudly and kept patting Jiang Lin on the shoulder: "Okay, okay..."
This apprentice shows off his face too much!
Dong Songchang was the only one with an ugly face. What did Mr. Craftsman mean? Jiang Lin passed the test and got an extra reward?
Damn it!
It was originally meant to be a stumbling block for him, but instead it became a reward!
At this time, the apprentices in the training area around Jiang Lin were no longer jealous. In addition to envy, there was also a little awe.
Previously, Jiang Lin was shouted at by someone in the Shaohuo District, but they didn't take it seriously. They just felt that the apprentices in the Shaohuo District were following the trend and had no backbone.
But now it's okay for Zhao Yankui to be so enthusiastic about Jiang Lin. After all, the two are masters and apprentices. However, the craftsman personally praised him and gave him a Qi and Blood Pill that he had never heard of. How could he ignore such an honor?
An apprentice immediately shouted: "Brother Jiang, please take more care of your brothers in the future."
"Yes, yes, I used to think that Brother Jiang had the image of a dragon and a tiger, and he would definitely prosper, but now it seems that is indeed the case!"
They are much older than Jiang Lin, the oldest is already in his twenties.
One brother at a time, shouting very smoothly.
Zhao Yankui turned around and glared: "Are you done with your work? Have you passed the test?"
The majesty of the master made several apprentices dare not say anything, and they quickly shrank their heads and continued to work on the things at hand.
Zhao Yankui wanted to say something more to Jiang Lin, but Yuan Gaohao called him away.
He quickly ran up to him, and as soon as he stood still, Yuan Gaohao asked: "How much work is left in the Nan Blacksmith Camp?" Zhao Yankui cupped his hands and said without thinking: "The Foundry Department has allocated three thousand steel knives to be forged within twenty days. One thousand spears and 20,000 feathered arrows are now 90% completed, 80% of which have been shipped in the past few days, and the remaining 10% will be almost completed in the next two days.”
"It's not bad. Hurry up. The border army is pushing hard. It would be better to deliver it a day earlier." Yuan Gaohao said.
"Yes."
At this time, Yu Maoming suddenly said calmly: "Dong Songchang, it seems that there is one more of you in the South Blacksmith Camp, and one of you is missing will not affect it."
Dong Songchang on the side looked embarrassed. Yuan Gaohao had asked him the same question just now, but he couldn't answer a single word. He could only say that he was visiting relatives this month and it was all Zhao Yankui's responsibility.
Now, although Mr. Craftsman did not curse, the dissatisfaction in his tone was very clear.
Yu Maoming didn't say anything more about him. He only said to Zhao Yankui: "That apprentice of yours, let him be in charge as soon as possible. The blacksmith camp is in urgent need of manpower. After this time, I'm afraid there will be big jobs, and they will be more and heavier." .”
"What else? I dare to ask Mr. Craftsman, is it possible that the border army was defeated? Otherwise, why did they ask for so many weapons in succession?" Zhao Yankui asked in confusion.
Yuan Gaohao said in a low voice: "Xuanhua Dao rebelled, causing the border pass to be defeated, and the troops retreated thousands of miles. Your Majesty is furious and will use all his strength to capture the remnants of Xuanhua Dao."
Zhao Yankui's face was full of shock when he heard this: "Xuanhua Dao is the second sect of our Daqian Dynasty, and its Taoist ancestor was once the national master of the Daqian Dynasty. He has a high status. Why did you rebel?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Who knows, people in the Taoist sect have always regarded themselves as gods, perhaps because our dynasty has too much power..."
"Too many words!" Yu Maoming suddenly interrupted.
Yuan Gaohao tensed up, glanced at Dong Songchang, and quickly stopped talking.
Yu Maoming looked indifferent and said: "What happens outside has nothing to do with our blacksmith camp. We will give you as many weapons as your Majesty wants. Don't ask more."
"Yes." Zhao Yankui responded with his hands raised.
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
When the time passed, Yuan Gaohao took Zhao Yankui and Dong Songchang to start planning the apprenticeship test.
As Jiang Lin expected, although he said he was harsh, he still let it slip in the actual test.
As long as a stick of incense is used to ignite the fire and start the furnace, even if the pig iron is not completely fired, it can be considered as barely enough.
Despite this, there are nearly 500 apprentices in the Shaohuo District, and there are still 40 or 50 people who have not passed.
When we came to the training area, the situation was similar.
There are nearly 200 apprentices, and only about 100 of them can knock out the prototype of a weapon within an hour.
About a third of the remaining ones were smashed badly, and some of them accidentally injured their colleagues, or hit themselves until their heads were bleeding and their toenails were broken.
Zhao Yankui is so angry that you can't get through with so much water. What a fool!
Compared with Jiang Lin, he really disliked these apprentices more and more.
The most important thing is that many of them are brought by the blacksmiths under Dong Songchang. As expected, there will be a raging army, and a den of raging soldiers!
"Pull it out and give you thirty punishments!" Yuan Gaohao ordered in a deep voice, and at the same time scolded Zhao Yankui: "This is the South Blacksmith Camp you manage. Look at how these apprentices can be put to great use!"
Zhao Yankui scolded Dong Songchang in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.
According to Mr. Craftsman's temper, no matter whose subordinate this is, he only cares about the results.
Don't you, Zhao Yankui, want to be the deputy craftsman? You can't even manage a small southern blacksmith camp. A parallel importer like Dong Songchang can stop you. How can you be promoted?
There will be another update later
