Chapter 261 Jiu Yao Dan
The next day.
Jiang Lin burned nearly thirty pieces of pig iron at one time, one of which was more than one meter long and wide.
Fortunately, the Hengyu stove is now large enough, otherwise ordinary stoves would not be able to fit in it.
After it was cooked, Jiang Lin only kept the largest piece, and let the masters snatch the rest.
These skilled masters all hold back their energy and want to be the first to create treasure-grade iron tools.
Nowadays, there are more than 20 masters in the South Blacksmith Camp alone. Most of the first batch of pig iron was snatched by them, and the remaining pieces were taken away by a few elite blacksmiths with sharp eyes and hands.
Those who didn't grab it could only stand outside the blacksmith's shop with annoyed faces, looking inside eagerly.
They were waiting for the second batch of pig iron, but Jiang Lin was not so fast.
He had to use pig iron as big as a millstone to make a new anvil, otherwise an ordinary anvil would break after just a few hammers if it was hit with a low-grade Xuanbing-grade hammer.
From burning fire, to hammering, to quenching.
Jiang Lin is very meticulous in every step.
Although his technical proficiency can ensure that he will make no mistakes in every step, his attitude can often determine the final result.
If Jiang Lin wasn't so serious, how could he have cracked the secret recipe of the treasure weapon so quickly.
[The quality of pig iron of average quality is improved by 3%]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
[Pig iron of average quality, quality improved by 10%]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
……
A qualified blacksmith's life is destined to be boring, but it will not lack interest.
Especially when I see the pig iron as big as a table shrinking rapidly in my hands and its quality improving rapidly, I feel a sense of accomplishment that cannot be replaced by anything else.
Thanks to the low-grade Mysterious Weapon-grade hammer, the entire tempering process was very easy and took much faster time than expected.
After quenching, Jiang Lin fused and forged the previously prepared materials one by one. In about two and a half hours, the new anvil was born.
[Good quality anvil, hardness +15, self-repair +1]
After putting the anvil into the Hengyu furnace and calcining it, the result was somewhat disappointing.
There is no 3% chance of leveling up, and it is still only a top-grade spiritual weapon.
The entire anvil is now only two feet square, which is neither too big nor too small. It is basically enough.
Jiang Lin picked up the hammer and tried to hit it a few times. If he tried his best, he could leave some marks.
But these insignificant traces quickly disappeared, apparently the self-healing properties took effect.
Jiang Lin nodded slightly. Although the quality was a little worse than the hammer, it was better because it was large enough.
The hardness is +15, which is enough to handle it.
Seeing Jiang Lin put down the hammer, a group of elite blacksmiths who had been waiting at the door for a long time rushed in: "Master Jiang, do you want to light a fire? I'll help you get it. Is this okay? If it works, I'll put it in."
Seeing the elite blacksmiths rushing to stuff pieces of pig iron into the Hengyu furnace, Jiang Lin burst into laughter.
These people have marked the pig iron, and whoever stuffs it with it belongs to him.
Jiang Lin didn't stop him. It was a good thing to stimulate the enthusiasm of the blacksmiths.
Standing next to the Hengyu furnace, Jiang Lin put his palm on it, causing the energy of heaven and earth to be injected into the furnace, so that the quality of the pig iron quickly broke away from the category of ordinary soldiers and reached the level of treasure soldiers.
After the firing was completed, Jiang Lin still kept one piece and let them divide the rest.
At this point, the elite blacksmiths basically have one hand, and there is no need to compete for anything.
But in the big blacksmith shop, there are still many people looking at this side with longing eyes.
If there is a chance to build a treasure weapon, even a blacksmith who wants to wait until death will be interested.
Jiang Lin didn't care so much and just put the newly burned pig iron on the anvil, then picked up the hammer for a new round of hammering.
What I want to build this time is a small hammer.
After that, there are fire tongs, iron scissors, drill bits, iron axes, and iron rulers. Only eight pieces of iron tools can be considered as a complete set.
For Jiang Lin, this was not too troublesome. With his current skill level and the low-grade Xuan Weapon-grade hammer, he could complete it in just one day.
[Good quality iron shears, sharpness +13]
[Good quality fire tongs, hardness +9]
[Good quality drill bit, penetration +14]
……
A complete set of iron weapons, except for the hammer which is a low-grade mysterious weapon, the rest are all high-grade spiritual weapons.
In addition, according to the different functions of iron tools, Jiang Lin also used materials to fuse and forge them to give them different attribute improvements.
Not to mention anything else, even if this set of iron weapons is brought to the battlefield, there will be many people snatching it.
A top-grade weapon cannot withstand the iron scissors at all, and will break into two pieces with just a slight cut.
The drill bit with a penetration of +14 can drill through iron as easily as through tofu.
With this set of iron tools, Jiang Lin's efficiency in making weapons will more than double in the future!
At this time, Blacksmith Qi's voice came from the side: "Master Jiang, are you done with your work?"
Jiang Lin turned around and said, "We're done."
Blacksmith Qi just walked in. He was holding a piece of paper in one hand and a wooden box in the other. He explained: "This is the list and material catalog for making weapons today. In addition, this box contains a Nine-Yao Pill, which can be used to make weapons." Yuanwu realm masters also rapidly improved their cultivation."
"However, the counselor-general wants to use this elixir to replace a pinxuan weapon. I don't dare to make a decision at will, so I can only come to you."
"Nine-Yao Pill?" Jiang Lin didn't know much about the pill. He took it and was about to ask when a line of information suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
[Elixirs of good quality can improve your cultivation]
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. For a long time, there was almost only information about things related to blacksmithing in his field of vision. This was the first time he described other items.
Why are there no previous Tiger Soul Pills and Qi Blood Pills?
Jiang Lin thought about it for a moment and guessed that either the Tiger Soul Pill and the Qi and Blood Pill were of too low a grade, or his vision had changed after upgrading his oven method to Silver Body.
It's just that after being promoted to the oven method, he never got any pills, so he didn't notice the change until now.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Judging from the evaluation of the materials, this elixir should be equivalent to the level of a spiritual weapon.
Although I don’t know if the elixir is of the same grade as the weapons, but since it can be rated as of good quality, it is a good thing.
As for improving cultivation, I guess you won’t know the effect until you eat it. Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, put the Nine-Yao Pill back into the wooden box, and handed it to Blacksmith Qi, saying: "Master Qi, go and tell him that the low-grade Xuan Weapon currently depends on luck, and there is no guarantee that it will be made. If he is sincere If you want a lower-grade Xuan Weapon, bring thirteen more materials that are above Xuan Crystal Iron grade.”
Some benefits can be collected and some benefits cannot be collected.
On the premise that he cannot fulfill his promise, Jiang Lin will not be greedy for small things and lose big things.
"Three kinds of materials that exceed the grade of black crystal iron? That must be difficult." Blacksmith Qi said: "If he can come up with so many materials, he won't have to exchange for this elixir."
< br>
Jiang Lin also thought of this, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Then tell him that I don't know when the low-grade mysterious weapon will be made. If you are willing to wait, I can guarantee that the first low-grade mysterious weapon will be his."< br>
This was not an embarrassing matter, so Blacksmith Qi immediately turned around and walked out.
Not long after, he ran back and said happily: "The counselor-general agreed. He also asked Master Jiang that only thirteen materials are needed to create a low-grade mysterious weapon? If so, we can make it together, and then we can One piece.”
"Thirteen kinds are because he brought this elixir. If he only uses materials to exchange for it, he will get at least thirty five kinds. If the grade is not high enough, it will be more than forty kinds."
Blacksmith Qi didn't think there was anything wrong. It was a low-grade Xuan Weapon. Although Jiang Lin used a frightening variety of materials, Master Jiang said he could use them, so he would definitely use them!
"Then I'll give you this Nine-Yao Pill first, and I'll go and give a reply to Sir General." Blacksmith Qi said.
Jiang Lin hummed and took the wooden box over again.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After opening it, he took out the elixir and put it in his mouth without much hesitation.
After the elixir was taken into his mouth, it turned into a huge amount of vitality and poured into all parts of his body. Jiang Lin could clearly feel that his cultivation was rapidly increasing.
But within a short period of time, the potency of the medicine was exhausted.
After feeling it carefully, Jiang Lin roughly estimated that his cultivation level had increased by about 10%.
It sounds like a small amount, but don’t forget, this is 10% of the ninth level of Yuanwu Realm!
If he were at the first or second level of the Yuanwu Realm, he would be stretched to the point where he bleeds from all his orifices, or even explode to death.
Jiang Lin was a little happy in his heart. His cultivation had a great effect on improving himself. If he got a few more pills, he would be able to reach the peak of the Yuanwu Realm even if his skills were not upgraded.
"It is estimated that the general will either have difficulty entering the Yuanwu realm, or even if he is promoted, he will not be able to reach a higher realm, so he sent this pill because he knew he would not be able to tolerate it."
Jiang Lin thought secretly, should he exchange weapons for elixirs in the future to improve his cultivation?
As soon as this idea popped into his mind, he rejected it.
Cultivation is important, but it is not the most important. The foundation of one's life is still the skill of blacksmithing.
The higher the grade of the objects created, the faster the fire essence and gold essence can be collected, and this is inseparable from the high-grade materials.
If you give up improving your own skills for the sake of cultivation, you are picking sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Pills like Jiuyao Pill are very good, but they are at most a kind of help.
It's best to have it, and it's okay not to have it.
After understanding this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt that his mood had improved a lot.
Although there is no such thing as inner demons in the practice of this world, an improvement in one's state of mind can still bring about some changes in a person's energy and spirit.
More elevated and more awake.
Jiang Lin silently ignored himself.
[Skill 1: Fire Level 9 (Proficiency 95443/200000)]
[Skill 2: Tempering Lv9 (Proficiency 56315/500000)]
The proficiency of making fire can now increase by about a thousand every day. At this rate, the skill of making fire can be improved to level 10 in about three months.
The proficiency of tempering increases much more every day, at least seven or eight thousand, but the amount of proficiency required for upgrading is also scary.
Calculated, even if the increase is 8,000 per day, it will still take almost two months, which is faster than improving the fire-making skills.
As for quenching and sharpening, these two proficiencies are exactly the same. Based on the current progress, they should be in the middle of the upgrade of tempering and fire-burning skills.
[Gold Essence 851/50000, Fire Essence 707.3/10000]
The furnace method's collection speed of gold essence and fire essence is actually faster than that of tempering. It can only be said that the weapons Jiang Lin currently builds are too high-grade and have exceeded the current upgrade speed of skills.
"I don't know if this is good or bad..." Jiang Lin muttered a few words to himself.
Upgrading the fire-burning skill can greatly increase the progress of collecting fire essences, and upgrading the tempering skill can also greatly increase the progress of collecting gold essences.
On the other hand, if the oven method is upgraded, all skills can be improved almost comprehensively, including proficiency.
Jiang Lin really didn't calculate carefully which one would have more benefits to upgrade first.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gave up.
No matter what, I have always followed the trend and never deliberately targeted any one item.
For now, there are no shortcomings. We just have to wait for Tempering and Blade Sharpening to reach level 8 or 9 to see if any special magical skills can be unlocked.
After all, both fire-making and tempering have their own magical skills, so there's no reason why the other two skills don't.
After carefully examining himself inside and out, Blacksmith Qi also returned.
The general said that he was afraid that he might not be able to find all the more than forty materials, but if Mr. Jiang was willing to use elixirs as deductions, he could find a lot.
In the Forty-Eight Camp in Kyoto, there are many dandy sons from rich and noble families. First, Jue Yuan Dao was exterminated decades ago, and now Xuan Hua Dao has also followed suit and swept away the two great sects. Daqian, these nobles are Got a lot of benefits.
They have collected a lot of top-quality elixirs that are rare for ordinary people to see. It is even rumored that they have even privately raised some Taoist alchemists to make elixirs for themselves.
However, most of the alchemy masters focused on alchemy, and their cultivation level was not particularly high, and they had no ambition to compete with others, so the court turned a blind eye and did not ask too many questions.
Just like the "tacit understanding" between the Ministry of Industry and the powerful clans, you can do some things, but don't make a noise so that the whole world knows about it, and don't let me see it, otherwise you will have to fall out.
For these reasons, the dandy disciples are not short of elixirs, but they lack ambition and their cultivation is not very high.
Things like Jiu Yao Dan are something that few in the 48th Battalion in Kyoto can use. They are very precious and useless.
If they could exchange it for low-grade mysterious weapons, it would be a good thing for them.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said: "Then let them exchange it, but let's make an agreement first. Don't bring it if it is lower than Jiu Yao Dan. I don't like it."
Blacksmith Qi clicked his tongue when he heard this. Mr. Jiang is so wealthy now that he dares to say such things.
I still remember how Mr. Jiang could be happy for a long time with just one Qi and Blood Pill.
However, considering Jiang Lin's cultivation at the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm, ordinary pills would indeed have no effect, so Blacksmith Qi didn't say much.
Jiang Lin turned to ask: "How did you gain today? Has anyone made a treasure-grade iron tool?"
Blacksmith Qi smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. I only produced one piece of first-grade iron, but it was just an iron ruler, and the rest were all second-grade."
Jiang Lin hummed, this was expected.
Although the iron you burn yourself is good, it has its limits. For these blacksmiths, being able to produce a second-grade iron is already considered very good.
If it were an ordinary blacksmith, it would be difficult to reach the third level.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh, there is still a long way to go, and he still has to continue to practice!
Looking for follow-up order, follow-up will be later
