Chapter 121 The difference between the second and third grades
It took several hours to go home, but it was much faster to walk back.
When we arrived at the blacksmith camp, we saw a group of apprentices carrying pig iron and charcoal blocks.
People from the Camping and Renovation Department are also working hard. They have laid a lot of foundations in the past few days and are just waiting to build walls and beams.
Seeing Jiang Lin coming back, the apprentices stopped and said hello: "Master Jiang."
There were so many people that Jiang Lin could only nod in response.
Watching him pass by and enter the room to put the packages, many apprentices had complicated expressions in their eyes.
Once upon a time, this was a little apprentice who had to depend on others just like them.
But now, they are still apprentices, and the other party already has a separate house.
It is said that among the new houses built by the Camping and Renovation Department this time, Jiang Lin's new house is larger than others.
"Don't think too much, we can't compare anymore." One apprentice sighed.
"Compared?" Another apprentice carrying pig iron said: "If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even look up after a while."
Jiang Lin put down the package, and after leaving the house, he took the second-grade long knife to the blacksmith shop.
Even if the blacksmith camp does not have urgent work without the foundry department, it is still forging weapons every day to prepare for emergencies.
But there's no need to rush, it's a break in the busy schedule.
As soon as Jiang Lin entered the blacksmith shop, he was greeted by greetings one after another.
Blacksmith Qi also came over and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? I thought you would have a few more days."
Jiang Lindao: "There is nothing going on at home. I came back after seeing it."
Blacksmith Qi hummed and looked at the long knife in Jiang Lin's hand with curiosity in his eyes.
Jiang Lin took the opportunity to bring the long knife to him and said, "Master Qi, help me take a look at this knife."
Blacksmith Qi took it and exclaimed after just one glance: "Second grade? Where did it come from?"
He then seemed to have thought of something, and said with a strange expression: "You couldn't have beaten it yourself, right? Don't tell me that it was made with ordinary iron."
"Of course not, there is a fang of a second-grade monster mixed in it." Jiang Lin said.
Blacksmith Qi then breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine if it was mixed with monster fangs, but if it was just ordinary iron, it would be too shocking.
"Hey, this knife seems to be very extraordinary." Blacksmith Qi said, carefully touching the dark red blade with his hand.
Jiang Lin quickly reminded: "This knife is filled with monster fire poison, Master Qi must be careful."
"Demon beast fire poison?" Blacksmith Qi was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you a second-grade demon beast fang?"
I have never heard that second-grade monsters can add special effects to weapons. Jiang Lin reacted immediately and said: "I don't know, maybe it is already third-grade. Master Qi knows, I don't know much about these. ”
Blacksmith Qi found a piece of wood, picked up a long knife and chopped it down.
The palm-width piece of wood was easily split open with a single knife, and the cut was smooth, but it was accompanied by a scorched black smell.
"It really has fire poison. It must be a third-grade monster." Blacksmith Qi said with certainty. After all, this is common sense.
Then Blacksmith Qi was a little confused and asked: "If you want to melt the remains of a third-grade monster, ordinary charcoal fire will not work. Have you found the strange wood?"
Jiang Lin's head hurt when he heard this. Do third-grade monsters need better flames?
Thinking about it, it took a lot of time to melt the fangs, and this was only the second grade.
If it is really the third grade, ordinary charcoal fire may not be able to melt it. I knew that I had upgraded the fangs of the second-grade monster beast to the effect that could only be achieved by the third-grade beast, which was really shocking and contrary to common sense.
Jiang Lin could only say: "I accidentally found a piece of strange wood at home, so I used it."
"Then you are quite lucky, but it's a pity that the basic iron used is ordinary iron. If it is Xuanjing iron, you may be promoted to a treasured weapon!"
Blacksmith Qi said with emotion on his face: "Our blacksmith camp has never made treasured weapons, even the foundry department has very few."
"Can it become a treasured weapon by adding black crystal iron?" Jiang Lin asked curiously.
"That's natural." Blacksmith Qi said: "If you want to build a treasure weapon, you must either use very powerful materials or combine it with the remains of third-grade monsters and beasts. In the past, most of the remains of monster beasts were taken away by Taoist sects. Even if the imperial court could keep them, they would not Sent to the Foundry Department.”
Powerful materials are also rare for the Forging Department, so even if the skills are sufficient, they are limited by the lack of materials and cannot create higher-grade weapons.
On the contrary, those blacksmiths who were attached to the powerful did not lack these things.
From this perspective, the Blacksmith Battalion seems to have military status and a transcendent status, but in fact it is just that.
After a conversation with Blacksmith Qi, Jiang Lin learned more about monsters and tempering.
When the other blacksmiths learned that he had made a second-grade weapon, they all came to watch the fun. They couldn't put it down and were amazed.

After a long time, Blacksmith Qi said: "Okay, okay, it's almost done. Let's go do the work."
Everyone then dispersed, and after returning the long sword to Jiang Lin, Blacksmith Qi said with some regret: "Although he has the ancestral power of the monster beast, he is still an ordinary soldier, and I am afraid that he will be sold for a lot less money."
< br>
It also comes with fire poison, and the treasured soldiers can be sold for at least a thousand taels, while the second-grade ordinary soldiers will never sell for more than 700 taels.
Despite this, Jiang Lin was still surprised when he heard it.
You know, ordinary iron is worthless, but the two valuable demon python fangs were obtained by him in exchange for the eighth-grade weapons, which cost at most a dozen taels.
One in and one out, a net profit of more than 600 taels of silver?
Even though he was not very interested in silver anymore, Jiang Lin was still a little excited.
Who would mind having too much money? With money, you can buy better materials, build better weapons, and sell them for more money.
This is a perfect virtuous cycle!
To put it bluntly, even if you don’t use it yourself, you can give it to your family to improve their lives.
Of course, such a huge profit was possible only because Jiang Lin could upgrade the level of the monster's remains out of thin air.
Second-grade monster fangs can only be sold for dozens of taels, but once they reach third-grade, the price will immediately increase by more than ten times!
"Didn't you spend a lot of money on the fangs of this third-grade monster?" Blacksmith Qi asked.
Jiang Lin coughed and hummed vaguely.
"Are you going to sell?" Blacksmith Qi asked: "If you want to sell, you can set up a stall in the city yourself, or you can go to shops that specialize in selling weapons. Although it is troublesome to sell by yourself, you can sell it at a higher price, and those shops can charge more The price is not that high, he is very evil.”
Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, don't be in a hurry."
Blacksmith Qi hummed and said: "Think about it slowly, you really can't rush it, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it anyway. But if you really want to sell it, I suggest you go to Nanling Camp to ask first."
Blacksmith Qi's meaning is very simple. Not to mention the fire poison attached, even if it is just an ordinary second-grade weapon, there are still many people in the military camp who are willing to buy it.
It is better to sell to outsiders than to sell to one's own people.
If you make money, you can also get closer to each other, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Jiang Lin actually had this intention, otherwise he might have found a place to sell it for money on the way here.
Afterwards, he came to his own territory, made fires, and made standard weapons. At the same time, he began to think about what else he could do now.
