Chapter 42: It hits the master too hard (third update)
At noon, Zhao Yankui wiped the sweat from his head and saw that Jiang Lin was still diligently learning how to temper, so he came over and asked: "How is it? Do you have any experience?"
"That's a little bit." Jiang Lin said.
Zhao Yankui laughed and said: "Master Qi is the number one master in hardening in our southern blacksmith camp. He is experienced and skilled. If you learn from him for ten and a half days, you will be better than you who have been pondering for several years on your own."
Blacksmith Qi's forehead was wrinkled as he listened, and he couldn't help but said: "Master, I have a stomachache. I need to take a rest. Let's find someone else to teach him."
Seeing Blacksmith Qi running away with his forehead wrinkled, Zhao Yankui was puzzled: "What's wrong with him?"
Jiang Lin said honestly: "Master Qi said, my stomach hurts."
"Why do you have a stomachache when you are so good?" Zhao Yankui shook his head and said: "In that case, let me do it. You can quench it once and I will take a look so that I can give you some advice."
"Good Master."
Jiang Lin obeyed and took another weapon and started tempering it.
After burning the incense, Blacksmith Qi tiptoed back from outside. He saw Zhao Yankui's brows twitching and his legs moving around as if he had been burned.
"Master, can you take a look at this tempered knife?" Jiang Lin handed over the new long knife.
Zhao Yankui glanced at it, but didn't answer it. He suddenly held his stomach and said, "What about that? My teacher suddenly has a stomachache. You should practice on your own first."
After that, before Jiang Lin could say anything, Zhao Yankui covered his stomach and ran away.
The blacksmiths nearby couldn't help laughing when they saw this. They didn't expect that such a strong physique of the master would have a bad stomach.
Zhao Yankui, who quickly ran to the door of the blacksmith shop, heard a slight sound in his ears. He turned around and saw Blacksmith Qi holding back a smile at him.
"Master, what's the matter? You have a stomachache too?" Blacksmith Qi asked.
Zhao Yankui's face turned dark, and he came over and raised his arms: "You are so unkind, why didn't you tell me that Jiang Lin's tempering skills are so good?"
In just one stick of incense, Jiang Lin tempered twice. Zhao Yankui originally wanted to give some advice, but after reading it, he found that he, as a master, may not be as good as Jiang Lin in terms of tempering timing.
Guidance?
It would be great if Jiang Lin didn’t give you some advice!
Blacksmith Qi quickly covered his head and cried out: "Where are you following me? I have been staring at Jiang Lin from yesterday to now. If you say I was hit harder than you, I was hit much harder than you."
This is not a lie. Blacksmith Qi thought he had been studying for many years, but he was about to be surpassed by an apprentice in less than two days.
With such a blow, most people's hearts would have been broken long ago and cannot be healed.
When Zhao Yankui thought that this was indeed the case, he was shocked as soon as he saw the two knives being tempered. Blacksmith Qi watched them for two days in a row, and he was much worse than himself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yankui couldn't help but grin.
He stretched out his big hand and patted the blacksmith Qi on the shoulder: "Well done, I'll let you teach me how to sharpen the edge later!"
Blacksmith Qi quickly waved his hand: "Goodbye, let's find someone else to cause trouble. I'm not young anymore, and I can't stand such exciting things."
"Don't do this. If I leave in the future, you will definitely take over this position. If you can't stand this, how can you afford the entire South Blacksmith Camp!"
Zhao Yankui's tone was stern and his hands became stronger. Blacksmith Qi's shoulders were sore from being pinched by him, and he grinned, so he had no choice but to agree.
Zhao Yankui then chuckled: "How come we have such a good life? We have such a good disciple. Let the other battalions know and you won't envy me to death."
Blacksmith Qi wants to cry but has no tears. You are envied, but I am the one who suffers!
How can you accept a disciple and just throw it to others? It's so outrageous!
At the end of the day, Jiang Lin got his wish and upgraded his quenching skill to level 5.
[Skill 3: Tempering Lv5 (Proficiency 3/300)]
[Skill 5: Level 5 is completely reborn, can perfectly judge the quenching timing, perfectly grasp the quenching time, and accurately confirm the quenching location]
Level 5 reborn skills make the entire quenching technique almost perfect.
Although there are still some shortcomings in the quenching part, in fact, with the bonus of its own proficiency, it is no different from perfection.
Seeing the changes in the information, Jiang Lin felt happy. He was one step closer to becoming an official blacksmith, only the last step of sharpening was left.
As planned, Jiang Lin did not start learning to sharpen his blade immediately.
Instead, I plan to use two days to improve the fire-burning skills to level 7, and then use a day or two to improve the hammering skills to level 6, and then learn to sharpen the blade.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Calculated, once the proficiency in sharpening is improved, it should be almost time for regular tests.
In order to shorten the time, Jiang Lin turned on four stoves to light the fire this time, attracting a large number of people to watch.
There are blacksmiths and there are apprentices.
In all the years that Nan Blacksmith Camp has been here, no one has ever lit a fire like this.
Although Jiang Lin had "performed" once before, they were still shocked when they saw it again.
Four stoves!
Even the old blacksmith who is the best at making fires dare not say that he can control it well. After all, the size of the fire needs to be accurately matched with the bellows, unless you fill the fire with a lot of charcoal to ensure an absolute high temperature.
In this way, it doesn't matter if the fire temperature drops, but correspondingly, the high temperature will cause the pig iron to change very quickly.
If you're not careful, you may overcook it.
"Master Jiang is Master Jiang. This move is so awesome. I don't think even Master Craftsman can do it."
"That's not necessarily true. Mr. Jiang is only a few floors above us, but there should still be a gap between him and Mr. Craftsman."
The blacksmiths on the other side were also whispering to each other and talking a lot.
"Jiang Lin's fire-burning talent is indeed a monster. He can control four stoves so well at the same time. It is simply inhuman!"
"Not only is he talented at burning fire, but he is also extremely talented at tempering. Oh my, if my apprentice were half as strong as him, he would be a great burner."
"Half? I want three percent to be enough."
Blacksmith Qi, who was not far away, heard their discussion and sneered in his heart, like a frog in the well.
If such a disciple really comes into your hands and he has learned all the skills in three to five days, can you bear the blow?
A group of people who have never endured hardship!
