Chapter 226 Broken Glory
The Southern Blacksmith Camp now has nineteen more masters, seventeen of whom had already joined earlier, and two who were selected from the masters competition with their superb skills.
Being able to win in such a competition shows the strength of these two people.
After returning to the South Blacksmith Camp, Jiang Lin was pulled by Blacksmith Qi and forced to say a few words.
If you work hard, you will have a bright future.
Seeing him "running away", everyone laughed.
After this matter came to an end, it was just blacksmithing as always.
It is worth mentioning that Zuibanglou has been "sponsored" by Jiang Lin with a large number of high-quality weapons, and its efficiency in hunting monsters has been significantly improved.
Almost every two or three days, several second-grade monsters can be brought back.
Basically, these monsters were bought by Jiang Lin. The good ones were used for forging, and the low-value ones were directly put into the Hengyu furnace for melting.
In addition to the replacement weapons that are sent every now and then, the lighting progress of the third branch of the Hengyu Furnace is also slowly increasing, and it has now reached about 80%.
"With another one or two hundred weapons of good foundation, plus the collected remains of monster beasts, we should be able to advance to a low-grade spiritual weapon."
After staring at the branches of the magical treasure tree for a while, Jiang Lin looked at the progress of several skills.
[Skill 1: Fire Lv8 (Proficiency 20326/30000)]
[Skill 2: Tempering Lv8 (Proficiency 183262/200000)]
[Skill 3: Tempering Lv6 (Proficiency 695/800)]
[Skill 5: Blade Lv6 (Proficiency 302/800)]
[Skill 4: Level 3 oven method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, the gold essence and the fire essence are the materials, to temper the immortal golden body. The current progress is 9128.1/10000 gold essence and 2203.4/2000 fire essence. It can be used against Your own skills will produce a certain increase】
In addition to sharpening, several other skills, including the oven method, are not far from being upgraded.
The fire essence has been collected to perfection and reached an overflowing state.
According to the current efficiency of blacksmithing, tempering and quenching may be the first to be promoted, followed by fire and oven methods, and finally sharpening.
However, the difference between them is not too big, only about three to five days at most.
After working hard for many days, I felt a little tired again.
Although the oven method can improve endurance, it also has its own limits.
After getting up and stretching his muscles, Jiang Lin walked out of the blacksmith camp and headed towards Kyoto City.
Whenever you feel tired, taking a walk around Kyoto City is the best choice.
Entering the city, Jiang Lin wandered around casually, looking here and there.
In fact, there is nothing that I want to buy. Really good things have long been won over by powerful clans, and it is difficult to see them on the market.
However, this kind of casual walking and looking around can indeed reduce the nervous tension caused by fatigue.
Jiang Lin strolled around a few streets and suddenly stopped in front of a street stall.
There was an old man in the booth, with pale hair, an old look, and a hollow eye, which looked a bit scary.
A piece of coarse cloth was spread on the ground in front of him, and a broken knife was placed on it.
To be precise, a pile of fragments.
The entire knife has been broken into dozens of pieces, pieced together here and there, barely forming a shape.
People passing by would lose interest after just one glance. Even if the gods came, they would not be able to save it after it was broken into pieces like this.
However, from the surface gloss of the fracture, we can see something extraordinary.
Jiang Lin had never seen such a broken weapon. He went over and knelt down curiously. The old man looked at him with his only remaining eye and his lips were slightly opened.
"One thousand eighty... one thousand six hundred taels..." He said this number hesitantly, obviously not wanting to lower the price.
People passing by couldn't help but laugh when they heard the price. Such fragments dared to be sold at a sky-high price.
The old man seemed to know that his asking price was too high. His lips trembled slightly and he took the initiative to explain: "This sword is called Mo Yue. It was made by Gongsun Xu, a great craftsman in Tongzhou three hundred years ago. The materials used were the fourth-grade monster Demonic Moon Spider. Use earth spirit stones, yin and yang neon flowers, Baiyun gold and other items to create a top-grade spiritual weapon, which is priceless.”
Jiang Lin picked up a fragment and glanced at it, and a prompt immediately appeared in his field of vision.
[Good quality fragments can be used for fusion forging]
The evaluation of Baobin's grade is only that the quality is acceptable.
Obviously, this is indeed a spiritual weapon grade, so it has a good quality evaluation.
Jiang Lin had never heard of the various materials the old man mentioned. Based on the hints in his field of vision, it can be concluded that he was not lying.
If it is a complete high-grade spiritual weapon, even if it sells for tens of thousands of taels of silver, there will still be many people buying it.
But if it is broken into pieces like this, the value is too low, and it can even be said that it is useless to buy it back.
But Jiang Lin felt a little excited. Just because others couldn't use it didn't mean he couldn't use it either.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If you have the skill of fusion and forging, you can take it back to upgrade other weapons.
In addition, Hengyu stove can also be eaten.
Such a good material foundation is much better than the weapons sent by the border army camp.
However, Jiang Lin did not immediately show any intention to buy it. He only said: "Old man, if it is broken into pieces like this, it will not be easy to sell."
The old man said bitterly: "It is indeed not easy to sell, but... the foundation is good..."
The last few words, the voice became deeper and deeper.
No matter how good the material is, it is useless once it has been turned into a weapon.
In this world, no one can separate materials that have been integrated together.
The fusion between different materials is also more troublesome, and the higher the grade, the more so.
That's why Jiang Lin first forged weapons and then incorporated black crystal iron into them, which surprised the old masters.
"If it's really a good thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring it to Kyoto." Jiang Lin said again.
The old man's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
Jiang Lin stretched out three fingers and said: "Three hundred taels, I want these fragments."
He wasn't talking about weapons, but fragments.
There was hesitation in the old man's eyes, because three hundred taels was already the highest price he had ever heard.
Many people were only willing to give a few dozen taels, saying that they were once high-grade spiritual soldiers and bought them back as a souvenir.
But the old man finally gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I won't sell it."
A high-grade spiritual weapon that could be sold for tens of thousands of taels in its complete state, even if it was broken into pieces like this, he would not be willing to sell it for three hundred taels.
Jiang Lin persuaded: "I can give you more, but not much. If you are sincere about selling, you might as well discuss the price."
Perhaps because of the sincerity of his tone, the old man hesitated for a moment and finally said: "The minimum is eight hundred taels."
This was the lowest price he could accept. If it were any lower, he would rather die than sell.
Jiang Lin looked like he was thinking about it, then decisively took out eight hundred taels and handed it over, then stretched out his hand to roll up the fragments in cloth and take them away.
As a result, the old man held down his hand, and Jiang Lin couldn't help frowning: "It's the eight hundred taels you asked for. I gave you all the money. You didn't want to raise the price."
