Chapter 34 The Stubborn Old Man (Fourth Update)
Despite the help of the Rebirth skill, quenching is still not an easy skill to master.
The less talent is valued and the more emphasis is placed on experience, the more proficiency is needed.
Jiang Lin knew this, so no matter whether the third, fourth, or how many subsequent weapons failed to be tempered, he was not discouraged at all.
As your proficiency increases, there will always be a moment of success.
But the more times he failed, the more happy Tiejiang Qi felt.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so dedicated in giving guidance to others, and he’s a once-in-a-lifetime genius!
Nothing excites Blacksmith Qi more than this.
As the number of times increased, and under Blacksmith Qi's constant guidance, Jiang Lin's proficiency in quenching skills increased at an extremely fast rate.
In less than an hour, he felt the familiar warmth again.
[Skill 3: Tempering Lv3 (Proficiency 0/50)]
[Skill 5: Level 3 is completely reborn, can accurately judge the quenching timing, greatly grasp the quenching time, and roughly confirm the quenching location]
Jiang Lin's eyes brightened slightly, his skills have been upgraded!
The information on the long knife in his hand changed accordingly.
[The temperature is slightly lower, not the appropriate quenching time]
Blacksmith Qi was still waiting for Jiang Lin to quickly temper it so that he could point out the reason for his failure, but he heard Jiang Lin say: "Master Qi, I think the temperature of this knife may be a bit low and needs to be tempered again."
< br>
Blacksmith Qi was startled. Based on his experience, he knew that the waiting time was too long and the temperature was not enough.
But how did Jiang Lin judge it?
"How do you know the temperature is a little low?" Blacksmith Qi asked curiously.
"Intuition." Jiang Lin said: "My intuition is sometimes quite accurate."
Blacksmith Qi laughed dumbly, intuition?
Tempering relies on experience, not intuition.
He shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, then you can calcine again first."
Jiang Lin nodded in response and returned to the stove to re-burn it red.
After returning, he stood in front of the bucket and stared at the message on the knife.
[The temperature is too high, not the appropriate quenching time]
Blacksmith Qi didn't say anything. Sometimes he glanced at the blade, feeling the temperature on it, and sometimes looked at Jiang Lin.
Tiejiang Qi didn't believe in the so-called intuition. He believed that Jiang Lin's tempering this time must also end in failure.
Experience is gained from constant failures.
After a while, Jiang Lin saw that the information on the blade changed again.
[Suitable temperature, best quenching time]
Jiang Lin's eyes narrowed, and under Blacksmith Qi's surprised gaze, he quickly submerged the blade into the liquid.
"Hey, this guy has such good timing?" Qi Tiejiang felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something.
[The quenching time is about ready]
The information is constantly changing. As for the quenching position, Jiang Lin only has a vague concept in his mind, which is far from accurate.
Seeing him lift the long knife, Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the quenching timing is well controlled and the quenching time is barely noticeable, the position is too bad.
What should be deep is not deep, what should be shallow is not shallow.
There was no need for Blacksmith Qi to tell Jiang Lin that the quenching had failed again this time, but he still handed the long knife to Blacksmith Qi and said, "Master Qi, please give me some advice."
Blacksmith Qi took it with a master's demeanor, looked at it seriously, then flicked his fingers and said: "The timing of quenching is okay, but the time is a little long and the position is not good. You have to remember, Every weapon is made differently, and the quenching time cannot be generalized, it must be based on..." Listening to Blacksmith Qi's talk, every piece of experience flowed into his heart.
[You have learned the secret of quenching and your quenching skills have improved a little]
At this moment, the experience gained from Qi Tiejiang each time is not much, only 2 to 3 points of proficiency at most at a time.
Jiang Lin silently picked up the next long knife, and a new round of calcining, tempering, and quenching began.
……
At this time, outside the blacksmith camp, Shi Shiran, the eunuch who had collected Shen Zhiwen's money, came over.
Old man Wei in the dining room frowned slightly when he saw this person.
Without any hesitation, he walked over and stopped him.
"What are you doing here, father-in-law?" Old Man Wei asked.
"Dog slave..."
The eunuch subconsciously opened his mouth to curse, but when he smelled the smell of sorghum on Old Man Wei's body and glanced at the dining shed, his expression suddenly changed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He immediately showed a smile, raised his hands and asked, "May I ask who you are, Mr. Wei?"
Before coming, the eunuch specifically inquired and found out that the old man guarded by the Nanling camp was the cook in the Nanjiang camp.
Dong Songchang died precisely because he offended this old man.
Old man Wei was the only one in the dining room at the moment. Who else could he be?
Even though the eunuch is a member of the palace, facing the group of border troops at Nanling Camp, he is no different from Dong Songchang.
Old Man Wei did not answer, but still asked: "What are you doing here?"
He used two fewer words than before.
However, the eunuch was not dissatisfied at all, and still said with a complacent smile: "My father-in-law ordered us to come to the South Blacksmith Camp to do some things, and please ask Master Wei to make way."
"There is no one you are looking for here." Old Man Wei insisted on standing still.
The smile on the eunuch's face froze. He saw what Old Man Wei meant. If he had done something different, he might have fooled him and gone back.
But this matter was paid for, and it was related to Eunuch Ming. If he left like this, how would he explain it when he got back?
He forced out an ugly smile and said: "Master Wei, if you leave like this, our family can't tell Eunuch Ming to represent you."
"It's none of my business." Old Man Wei said expressionlessly.
The eunuch took a deep breath, tightened his fingers slightly, his smile disappeared, and his expression became slightly gloomy: "Eunuch Ming is the eighth rank of the Internal Affairs Department..."
"Not familiar."
The eunuch was choked and speechless. He finally saw that even if he carried the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Department out, the old man in front of him would not be able to get out of the way.
"That's offending." The eunuch cupped his hands. Of course, he would not fight with Old Man Wei. He just took a few steps back, then ran around at a very fast speed and ran towards the blacksmith shop.
Although Old Man Wei was once a member of the frontier army, he was already old after all. Over the years, he had been focusing on cooking to support his old age, and his hard work had long been wasted.
Instinctively, I stretched out my hand to stop him, but I only caught air.
Seeing the eunuch running further and further away, Old Man Wei turned back, took the rice spoon in his hand, and limped after him.
[Skill 3: Tempering Lv3 (Proficiency 5/50)]
After glancing at the progress of the message, Jiang Lin picked up a new long knife. Even Blacksmith Qi admired his resilience.
The other apprentices had already become impatient after failing so many times, but Jiang Lin's mood never fluctuated much.
In this regard, it is much better than others.
"What a pity, what a pity!" Blacksmith Qi thought to himself, why, why didn't he accept him as his apprentice before?
Now my regretful intestines are green!
At this moment, a shout came from outside: "Zhao Yankui, Jiang Lin, get out of our house!"
Jiang Lin looked up and saw a eunuch in his thirties breaking into the blacksmith shop with a menacing look.
