Chapter 255: Caught that flash of aura (4K)
For the Foundry Division, what happened at South Blacksmith Camp may have been a big deal.
Yan Tianrong personally came to ask what happened.
Yan Tianrong's eyes became more fearful after learning that it was a powerful force like Thunder Eagle Castle that came to look for trouble with a general. After Jiang Lin killed dozens of people with a few arrows.
This Master Jiang... usually seems quite gentle, but I didn't expect that he would be so murderous at such a young age.
Because it involved a third-grade military officer, Yan Tianrong still reported the matter to Yang Junchi, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry.
Yang Junchi heard about this and reported it to Si Hongwen, the minister.
Si Hongwen only asked: "Did Jiang Lin suffer a loss?"
Knowing that he had not suffered a loss, Si Hongwen laughed and said: "Since we have not suffered a loss, what else can we say? If the Ministry of War does not care about this matter, then that's it. If it wants to take care of it, I really have to have a good talk with them. I really think our Ministry of Works Easy to bully?”
No one would think that the Ministry of Works is easy to bully. The Department of Works and Instruments, which is in charge of the entire Daqian, has so much power.
If not, Yu Shuai wouldn't have to use Jiang Lin as a bargaining chip to discuss with them.
Being able to allow the commander-in-chief of the border army, who was always known for being unreasonable, to discuss matters in a discussion manner was of extraordinary significance.
A few days later, Yang Junchi came to the South Blacksmith Camp again and brought Jiang Lin a new official seal.
"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang, congratulations to Mr. Jiang. Your Majesty the Minister heard that gangsters broke into the South Blacksmith Camp and attacked and killed many people. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang took action in time and saved the talents of this dynasty."
"This is a great achievement. After reporting it to Lord Shangshu, Lord Zhuo Jiang was promoted two levels in a row and was appointed as the Seventh Grade Chief Registrar of the Ministry of Industry. Considering that many matters in the Foundry Department have not been completed, he ordered Chief Jiang to send a special mission to the Foundry Department until the matters here are completed. Return to the Ministry of Industry to report on your work.”
With that said, Yang Junchi took the official seal, credit, new official uniforms, jade plaques, etc., and presented them to Jiang Lin with his own hands.
Yan Tianrong looked on with envy. His biggest wish a few days ago was just to be promoted to the seventh rank.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Jiang Lin jumped from the ninth level to the eighth level, and then to the seventh level, as fast as he could.
Even though there are still six, five, four, three, and two above the seventh rank, it is actually the ceiling among low-rank officials.
Further up, those are the sixth-rank officials who have truly entered the circle of power.
How many people work hard all their lives, fawning over this and that, but they still fail to jump from the seventh level to the sixth level.
Judging from Jiang Lin's posture, it won't take long for the Ministry of Works to find a way for him to rise up.
Why do you like Jiang Lin so much? Is it really because of his superb skills?
Yan Tianrong was puzzled, but it did not prevent him from trying to please Jiang Lin: "In the future, all matters related to the foundry department will be subject to Master Jiang's instructions. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive Mr. Jiang."
It is said that one level of official rank is too high to kill someone. Now that Jiang Lin was two levels higher than him, it was impossible not to lower his head.
After Jiang Lin took the things, he said politely: "Many matters still need to be handled by the Secretary, so I will just guard the three-thirds of an acre of South Blacksmith Camp."
"Well said! Neither arrogant nor impetuous, let alone ambitious. Although Mr. Jiang is young, he has the air of a general. There will be no limit to his future!" Yang Junchi praised him timely.
It is somewhat absurd for a fifth-grade doctor to flatter the seventh-grade master here.
But everyone present felt that it was completely normal and there was nothing wrong with it.
"In addition, the Minister heard that Lord Jiang had a need for various materials, so he ordered someone to take some from the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry as a reward."
A large box was brought over. After opening it, it contained various materials for blacksmithing.
Yang Junchi stood beside him and introduced everything.
Jade Secret Rock, Gray Ghost Stone, Green Coral, Ink Black Stone...
"These materials are at least top grade, and at least five of them belong to the treasure weapon grade. Are you satisfied with it, Mr. Jiang?" Yang Junchi asked with a smile.
How could Jiang Lin be dissatisfied? He needed a lot of materials, and the reward from the Ministry of Industry was just right.
However, when Jiang Lin heard Yang Junchi mention the level of treasure soldiers, he hesitated slightly and asked anyway.
"Master Yang, does he know what the secret recipe of the treasure weapon is?"
The smile on Yang Junchi's face subsided slightly, and then he shook his head and said: "Master Jiang, please forgive me, this secret recipe is controlled by a powerful clan, and it is the most top secret in the world. Master Jiang can already create treasured weapons, even spiritual weapons, how could he not Know this? ”
Jiang Lin sighed and said: "It is purely a coincidence that I can create a treasure weapon. It is due to luck. Without the secret recipe of the treasure weapon, it will not be able to perform stably. Mr. Yang, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's craftsmanship. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't know this secret recipe?"< br>
"I don't know." Yang Junchi shook his head.
Jiang Lin looked carefully at his expression and eyes, and they didn't seem to be fake.
He had already expected it in his heart. If the Ministry of Industry knew what the secret recipe of the treasure weapon was, he would have told him long ago.
Now it seems that the blockade of the secret recipe of the treasure weapon by the powerful clan is far more strict than imagined.
Unless those powerful people take the initiative to inform them, otherwise, they can only do their own research.
At this time, Yang Junchi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and whispered: "I have heard before that powerful noble clans made wild claims, saying that no matter how good the materials were given to the Ministry of Industry, and no matter how skilled the blacksmith was, they would not be able to create a treasured weapon. These words were always It seems to be implying something, I wonder if it will be useful to Mr. Jiang.”
When Jiang Lin heard this, his heart was touched. This was an unprecedented feeling.
The light flashed in my mind, as if I could catch it at any time, but it was elusive.
No matter how good the materials are, no matter how high the skills are, you can't create a treasure weapon?
There does seem to be some hidden information in these words, but I can't figure it out.
Yang Junchi cupped his hands and said: "I have already completed the matters assigned by Mr. Jiang, so I will not disturb Mr. Jiang from learning the secret recipe. I will take my leave."
Jiang Lin had to calm down and send the doctor out of the camp.
After returning, Blacksmith Qi and others naturally congratulated him again.
Upgrading from the eighth grade to the seventh grade is as simple as eating and drinking, and it has to be Lord Jiang!
Jiang Lin had no intention of joking with them, so he casually spent a few thousand taels and asked Blacksmith Qi to buy wine and food to celebrate on his own, while he also had people move the materials to the shop.
In the past few days, Jiang Lin has used the fragments collected from the watchtower to upgrade the thirty-one middle-grade spiritual weapon arrows on hand to high-grade spiritual weapons.
But the lack of variety in materials can only go so far.
Now the Ministry of Industry has sent new materials, which is a timely help!
While turning on the stove and lighting the fire, Jiang Lin was still thinking about what Yang Junchi had just said.
The quality of the treasure weapon is definitely much higher than the previous one.
From the perspective that pig iron cannot withstand extreme quality, the material itself also has a great impact on the grade.
Then why do the powerful clans say that no matter how good the materials are, they can't create a treasured weapon?
Also, from what I hear, creating a treasure weapon seems to have nothing to do with skills?
In other words, it doesn’t matter much.
"It's not a matter of skill or materials, so what else can it be?" Jiang Lin stared at the flames slowly rising in the furnace, and the aura in his mind seemed to become slightly clearer, just a little short of it. Can catch it!
"Forging? Quenching? None of them are correct. These are all related to the blacksmith's skills."
"Method? Steps? It doesn't seem right either."
"Secret recipe, secret recipe... Since the basic things are wrong, they must have added something extra. What could it be? If it is other materials, the Ministry of Industry has people all over the world, and there are so many skilled craftsmen, there is no reason to try It won’t come out. If it is something extra, it must not be found by the Ministry of Industry.”
“What on earth can’t the Ministry of Industry find?”
Jiang Lin's head was pounding thinking about it, but he couldn't think of an answer. He slapped his forehead in annoyance, feeling that he was only one step away from cracking the secret that had been blocked by the powerful clan for hundreds of years!
After a while, he let out a long breath.
Forget it, since I can't think of anything, let's do serious things first.
After calming down, Jiang Lin took out some of the new materials, melted them, and started fusion forging with the Hengyu Furnace.
The fragments collected last time, plus more than a dozen materials sent by the Ministry of Industry, were fused into the Hengyu Furnace. The sixth branch has been lit up by a full 30%!
In other words, if you come two more times, you will have a chance to be promoted to a low-grade mysterious soldier.
But in Jiang Lin's view, this progress is not enough to satisfy him.
The main reason is that the Hengyu furnace is too big. If it were only the size of an arrowhead, more than a dozen materials would have been promoted to a low-grade mysterious weapon.
Now Jiang Lin finally understands why some people who practice devouring evil skills can't help but kill and rob everywhere.
Only such evil methods can make promotion come faster.
Collecting slowly and step by step as we do now may be prudent and will not be criticized by others, but it is not efficient enough.
This is just the stage of promotion to Xuan Weapon. Afterwards, Yuan Wen, Saint Weapon, and Divine Weapon will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse?
Every time he thought about this problem, Jiang Lin couldn't help but think about taking the Hengyu stove out, regardless of the mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, vegetation, birds and beasts, and swallowing whatever he saw.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But after calming down, I always break into a cold sweat.
If this is really the case, I am afraid that I will be the enemy of the whole world.
You don't need to set a bottom line with your enemies, but you will have to live in this world for a long time. If you really become a rat crossing the street and everyone screams and beats you, you may not live long.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Lin shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
Even if you really have no scruples, the Hengyu stove is not easy to carry around as big as it is.
I heard that there is a way to change when you reach the level of a holy soldier. Maybe then you can go out and find some "food" for Hengyu Furnace.
Afterwards, Jiang Lin divided the other materials into equal parts and put them into the Hengyu furnace to melt them.
[Materials of average quality, material quality improved by one percent]
[Materials of acceptable quality, material quality improved by one percent]
……
Amidst the continuous prompts, the materials melted rapidly, and Jiang Lin took them out of the furnace one by one, and merged them with the high-grade spiritual weapon arrows for forging.
[Good quality arrows, improve quality by one percent]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
After more than a dozen materials were fused and forged, one arrow after another was successfully promoted to a low-grade Xuanbing Chaos Arrow, and the seventh branch was also lit up by about 20%.
[Better quality arrows, with tarsal maggot effect, toughness +6, and cold poison...]
Looking at a total of thirty-one chaos arrows with different characteristics, Jiang Lin finally had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Last time I gave Liao Mingxu nine chaos arrows, leaving only one to protect him, I still felt unsure.
Now that there are more than thirty of them in front of me, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's a pity that the materials in hand are still too few, otherwise it would not be a problem to rush to the middle grade or even the high grade mysterious weapon in one go.
Jiang Lin subconsciously glanced at the big bow next to him, and a trace of regret flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes.
There are no enemies strong enough to cause trouble, otherwise we can just test the arrows openly.
Everything about the Blacksmith Camp is good, except that it is a little isolated from the world. In this regard, it is not as good as the Frontier Army.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but murmured: "No wonder those arms dealers in the previous life liked war. Only the battlefield is the best place to test weapons."
"Master Jiang, can we start dinner now?" Blacksmith Qi came over and asked.
"That's good." Jiang Lin said and started to pack things.
Even though he is already a seventh-rank official, he still retains his old habit of cleaning up the shop every time he finishes work.
This is something that all blacksmiths and apprentices admire.
Under his influence, everyone in the South Blacksmith Camp is now accustomed to cleaning up afterward, making the originally dirty blacksmith shop many times cleaner and tidier than before.
A good environment will make you feel more comfortable when doing things.
Blacksmith Qi walked in to help, and at the same time glanced at the dozens of chaos arrows on the table, and saw the seventh branch that was a little brighter on it, he couldn't help but smile: "Master Jiang's skills are really getting better and better, low-grade Xuanbing Just pick it up, effortlessly.”
"It's all just a coincidence." Jiang Lin shook his head and said. He didn't think it was his own ability. The probability of winning was purely luck.
"I'm afraid all the blacksmiths in the world hope that they can encounter such a coincidence." Blacksmith Qi chuckled and said: "But this low-grade Xuanbing is very strong, especially when paired with Mr. Jiang's eighth-grade Yuanwu Realm, it can stir up the world. The vitality is simply terrifying.”
"The vitality of heaven and earth is indeed a good thing. No wonder there is such a big difference between treasured soldiers and ordinary soldiers." Jiang Lin responded.
After saying this, he was suddenly stunned.
The difference between treasured soldiers and ordinary soldiers is that one can activate the vitality of heaven and earth, while the other cannot.
This is common sense and everyone knows it.
But Jiang Lin suddenly felt that this common sense seemed to have been ignored.
Seeing that he was stunned, Blacksmith Qi asked: "Master Jiang? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Lin turned to look at him and asked subconsciously: "Master Qi, why do you think treasured soldiers can activate the vitality of heaven and earth, but ordinary soldiers cannot?"
Blacksmith Qi was stunned when he was asked. He wanted to know what else could be the reason for this. Of course, one was a treasured soldier and the other was an ordinary soldier.
But thinking about the answer, I didn’t know how to answer it.
Jiang Lin's eyes shone slightly and he said: "The quality of the pig iron I burned is very high. Even if it is an ordinary soldier, its real quality is not weaker than that of a treasured soldier, and even some spiritual soldiers will be inferior. Even so, it still cannot Inspire the vitality of heaven and earth. ”
Blacksmith Qi was stumped by the question, yes, why?
The quality is obviously ridiculously high, but it just can't be done.
Jiang Lin didn't need him to answer anything. The idea suddenly appeared in his mind and became clearer.
"The difference between the Yuanwu realm and the peak of martial arts is also the vitality of heaven and earth. After breaking through the peak of martial arts, the vitality of heaven and earth enters the body and transforms all the energy. Only then can the vitality of heaven and earth be activated."
"Why? Because the two have the same origin!"
Jiang Lin's tone became more urgent and his eyes became brighter.
He got it!
Finally caught it!
Looking for follow-up order, follow-up will be later
