Chapter 48 Master and Disciple
Zhao Yankui had expected this and didn't take it seriously.
A blacksmith is born to make iron, otherwise there would be no use for these muscles.
"Where's the good news?" Zhao Yankui asked again.
Yuan Gaohao smiled slightly and said: "The good news is that we have eliminated several branches of Xuanhua Dao, and the Foundry Department has obtained some good things. There will be many rewards for this periodic test, such as high-quality hammers, Xuanjing Iron, Flame Yang Sand , by the way, there are also Qi and Blood Pills and Tiger Soul Pills. These are really good things. One pill is enough to make several mid-level weapons.”
While talking, Yuan Gaohao glanced at Jiang Lin.
Zhao Yankui understood that the preceding items were all related to casting, such as materials for making high-quality weapons.
The Qi-Blood Pill and Tiger Soul Pill are used to practice the oven method.
Even if Zhao Yankui is not interested, he can still give it to Jiang Lin as a favor.
"But in this regular test, you have a very strong opponent." Yuan Gaohao said: "Yuan Bingqi from the East Blacksmith Camp."
"Your nephew?"
"That's right, Mr. Craftsman went to the East Blacksmith Camp a few days ago and witnessed with his own eyes that Yuan Bingqi used ordinary iron to forge an eighth-grade long knife. He is bound to get the position of deputy craftsman."
Yuan Gaohao paused and said: "In the regular tests, the Foundry Department will not show favoritism, but it gives the boy a lot of benefits on weekdays and makes him make great progress. You have to be prepared."
Zhao Yankui was shocked when he heard that Yuan Bingqi was Yuan Gaohao's nephew, and he ate more Qi and Blood Pills than he had ever seen.
It is estimated that the iron used is of high quality, otherwise no matter how strong the skill is, it is impossible to make a lower-eighth-grade long knife out of ordinary iron.
Although this level is not too high, it is already the ceiling for blacksmiths.
The reason why Yuan Gaohao reminded him was because Yuan Bingqi was petty and arrogant, and his reputation and popularity in the East Blacksmith Camp were not very good. He often attracted other masters to complain to the Foundry Department.
Yuan Gaohao didn't like this nephew either. A blacksmith should do his job, and a small-minded man is not a real man.
Zhao Yankui, on the other hand, has a bad temper, but as a blacksmith who works with flames and iron tools all day long, how many good tempers can he have?
His skills and management methods are outstanding, and Master Craftsman is optimistic about him. If not for Yuan Bingqi's sudden rise, he would have come out on top in the regular test this year.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for the heads up. I will prepare well!" Zhao Yankui said with a solemn expression as he cupped his hands.
Yuan Gaohao nodded and smiled at Jiang Lin: "Jiang Lin, there are many rewards for this year's apprenticeship test. If you can win the top three, it will be at least twenty taels of silver."
Jiang Lin temporarily stopped what he was doing and asked, "Where's No. 1?"
"First?" Yuan Gaohao laughed out loud and said: "If you are first, you will have eighty taels of silver, plus a ninth-grade hammer. This was made by the craftsman himself."
Jiang Lin was slightly disappointed. He was currently using a ninth-grade hammer. If he wanted a higher quality hammer, he could just make a new one.
Such a reward may be ecstatic to other apprentices, but it is very tasteless to Jiang Lin.
The only thing that's not bad is maybe eighty taels of silver. After I become a full-time employee, I'll at least have some spare money to buy some things. I'll save a house, but it's just a bare house, which makes people laugh.
Yuan Gaohao seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled at Zhao Yankui: "I am afraid that as a disciple, you are too ambitious to even look down on such a reward."
Zhao Yankui was quite proud and said: "If you don't even have this courage, how can you be my apprentice, Zhao Yankui!"
"Yes, you master and apprentice are exactly the same." Yuan Gaohao laughed and shook his head.
After chatting for a while, someone came over to report that the weapons were finished, and Yuan Gaohao said hello and left. After bidding farewell to the people in the Foundry Department, Zhao Yankui came back and saw Jiang Lin still hammering weapons, so he walked over and said, "You don't like that hammer, right? Do you want Qi Blood Pill and Tiger Soul Pill?"
Jiang Lin did not hide his thoughts and said: "If I can exchange it with a hammer, of course I want it."
"That means the apprentice is number one, you are sure to win?"
Jiang Lin hit it with a hammer, and sparks flew everywhere: "Does Master think I'm not good enough?"
"That's nonsense. If you can't do it, no one in these four blacksmith camps will be able to do it!" Zhao Yankui habitually patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master will do anything to win back the Tiger Soul Pill for you this year!"< br>
"Don't you use it yourself?" Jiang Lin asked in surprise.
Although I don’t know the specific function of Tiger Soul Pill, from what Yuan Gaohao said, it is obviously a higher-level good thing than Qi and Blood Pill, and it has a greater effect on the oven method.
If Zhao Yankui can really win the first place, it is normal for Tiger Soul Pill to be improved for self-use.
"I don't attach much importance to the oven method, but you, it seems that practicing this method is particularly suitable and needs it more than me." Zhao Yankui said in a low voice: "I originally thought that I would just give you a set of iron tools, but now I feel that that set of iron tools It’s not worthy at all. This Tiger Soul Pill should be regarded as a gift from the master.”
Looking at Zhao Yankui, who looked serious and did not look like he was joking, Jiang Lin was silent for a few seconds and said: "The one named Yuan Bingqi..."
"Chickens and dogs are not worth mentioning." Zhao Yankui snorted: "As an apprentice, you are confident of winning the first place, can't you be a master? Practice hard, and as a master you have to build yourself a good set of iron tools. , then you will have greater confidence in regular tests”

Looking at Zhao Yan's burly back, Jiang Lin didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long time, he sniffed and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Tiger spirit pill?
It’s okay to say it’s important, and it’s okay to say it’s not important.
On the contrary, Zhao Yankui's thoughts were as important as a thousand stones!
In this case, as the master's top contender, I, as an apprentice, have to help!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin immediately shouted: "Master, if you want to make new iron tools, I will light the fire for you!"
Level 7 proficiency can improve the quality of casting materials by more than 25%, which is definitely of great use!
Zhao Yankui stopped, turned around and smiled at him: "Okay, I can rest assured of the iron you made!"
Although it was just a response, it represented Zhao Yankui's trust in Jiang Lin.
The iron hammered by the master and burned by an apprentice would be a joke in other blacksmith camps.
But in South Blacksmith Camp, no one would find it ridiculous.
Jiang Lin's fire-making skills are already recognized as the best, bar none!
The nearby blacksmith looked at the master and apprentice, and suddenly turned around and asked Blacksmith Qi: "Master Qi, do you think Master Qi can beat Yuan Bingqi in this regular test?"
Blacksmith Qi wiped the black iron dust on his hands and said without raising his head: "It must be possible."
"How do you know?" The blacksmith was a little puzzled: "Tell me, Mr. Yuan, Yuan Bingqi can use ordinary iron to make weapons of the eighth grade. It seems that the master master may not be able to do it."
"The master himself may not be able to do it."
Blacksmith Qi clapped his hands, then raised his head and said quietly: "But the two of them, master and apprentice, work together, Yuan Bingqi? It's not enough!"
