Chapter 291 The Spirituality of Ancient Purple Gold Wood
Cai Xingchang led Jiang Lin to the handsome man's house, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Even the commander-in-chief must be treated with respect in front of the commander-in-chief.
Yu Shuai, who was standing in the courtyard, did not look at them and said quietly: "Come in."
Cai Xingchang and Jiang Linmai then entered the courtyard. Jiang Lin saw the huge purple-gold tree in his field of vision.
[Excellent quality wood can greatly increase the hardness and flexibility...it is also indestructible, it is also indestructible, it is also...]
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. Is this the ancient purple gold wood?
There is actually an excellent evaluation. From a literal point of view, it is far better than the level of Xuan Bing.
I just don’t know which level this excellent represents, Yuan Weapon or Holy Weapon?
Or maybe it's a magic weapon?
However, the possibility of being a divine weapon is lower. After all, it was planted in the commander-in-chief's mansion.
In addition to various attributes, it also comes with some inherent characteristics, which makes it look very powerful.
Yu Shuai raised his eyes and saw Jiang Lin staring at the ancient purple gold wood again and again. He couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you really like these materials. Want it? Then join our border army and take my position someday." This strange tree is yours.”
Cai Xingchang trembled when he heard this. He thought he had already rated Jiang Lin very highly, but he didn't expect that Yu Shuai had already planned to regard him as his successor.
However, Jiang Lin shook his head, looked back, and said: "The commander-in-chief is so kind to me, I can't deserve it. I do like this strange tree, but I don't want to keep it for myself. I just want a piece of it to use to build the bow body."
The cakes drawn by Yu Shuai are big and round. They sound delicious, but they may not be delicious.
I joined the frontier army before and was asked back by the Ministry of Industry. If I join again this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out.
Not to mention when Yu Shuai will abdicate, what if he abdicates now and makes way for someone more worthy.
As a commander-in-chief, he had to take care of too many things, including the life and death of millions of border troops, the arguments in the court, and the so-called companionship of the emperor like a tiger.
So far, Jiang Lin has never met His Majesty the Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, but in just one battle in Kyoto, almost all the Xuanhua Dao elites were wiped out, which shows the emperor's methods.
Jiang Lin would rather not see such a person for the rest of his life.
Anyway, I already have enough means to collect materials and maintain the growth of my skills, so why bother to go to that trouble.
Cai Xingchang, who was listening by the side, was filled with turmoil in his heart. Yu Shuai personally asked you to take over, but you still refused?
What a courage!
What a big spirit!
Yu Shuai looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "Have you entered the realm of divine martial arts?"
"Yes, second level of the Divine Martial Realm."
Yu Shuai's breathing paused for a moment, and then he said with emotion: "I had sensed someone breaking through the Shenwu Realm before, and thought it might be you. But when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still shocked. When you left the border, you were still at the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm. Product, why can it break through so fast? ”
"Xiaguan Frontier and his team, coupled with the training of skills, have a lot of insights in their hearts, and they have achieved this state by breaking through three times in a row." Jiang Lin said.
Yu Shuai didn't say a word, just stared at Jiang Lin for a long time, and then said: "I never believe that someone can truly shut out fame and fortune. Those who don't seek small profits must have big plans. Your talent is so incredible, But you don’t fight or grab, what do you want?”
Yu Shuai's eyes were deep and somewhat sharp.
Jiang Lin did not panic at all, and said with cupped hands: "Hui Yushuai, as a blacksmith, I only believe that one day, like my ancestor, I can build a magic weapon and my body can ascend to sainthood. Speaking of which, my ambition is indeed very big. , I don’t have much interest in secular affairs.”
Yu Shuai was slightly startled, becoming a saint in the flesh?
For hundreds of years, there should be only one person.
He had thought about the possibility of Jiang Lin rebelling, but now it sounded like there was definitely no possibility.
But this ambition is much greater than rebellion.
Yu Shuai couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Good boy, I have underestimated your thoughts. To become a saint in the flesh is indeed only your blacksmith ancestor who has done this. It is said that your talent is not worse than him, but it is not that you have no chance. . But this opportunity is in Daqian. If you leave this place, you will have no chance of becoming a saint in the world.”
Jiang Lin was a little confused when he heard this. Yu Shuai's words sounded a bit threatening, but not quite.
However, Yu Shuai did not explain, only said: "When you can build a holy weapon one day, I will tell you exactly what you need to do to become a saint physically. As for today, you want this ancient purple gold wood to be used according to the previously established It’s not that I can’t give you credit based on your merits. As long as you join the frontier army, it doesn’t matter if I give you half of it.”
Jiang Lin looked at the old man who controlled one of the highest military powers in Daqian and said: "We will discuss the matter of the border army later. I want to make a deal with Yu Shuai today, and I think it would be appropriate to exchange for a piece of ancient purple gold wood."
"Oh? What deal do you want to make?" Yu Shuai chuckled and said, "Are you going to give me a Yuan Weapon?"
The previous Yuan Bing's long sword was chopped into pieces by Jiang Lin, but the sword was thrust into his hand by himself. No matter how unreasonable the border army was, Yu Shuai would not be able to go to Jiang Lin for compensation, so he would have to suffer the loss of being dumb.
Cai Xingchang on the side said: "Reporting to Yushuai, Mr. Jiang is willing to lead the South Blacksmith Battalion to replace all the weapons of all the battalions under your command. The lowest is the fourth grade, and 10% of them are above the third grade."
Yu Shuai was stunned for a moment after hearing this. The sergeants under his command basically used ordinary weapons, which were considered to be sophisticated and of very limited quality.
As for the middle four grades and the upper three grades, most of them are held by generals.
The achievements of Nanling Camp on the border are obvious to all.
When all the weapons of grade 4 or above are formed into a military formation, the power is increased by three to five times, making them invincible!
If hundreds of battalions under his command were equipped with such weapons, which dynasty could stop him?
At this moment, Jiang Lin suddenly said: "What Mr. Cai said is wrong, it is not that the fourth rank is the lowest among all members."
Cai Xingchang was stunned for a moment. Didn't he agree to it? Why did he change it again?
Although Yu Shuai was a little disappointed, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He only said: "It is indeed too difficult for all the members of the hundreds of camps to be ranked fourth. Even if you are now outstanding in skills, the other people in the South Blacksmith Camp..."
< br>
"Yu Shuai misunderstood." Jiang Lin interrupted him and said: "What the official meant is that now that the overall skills of the South Blacksmith Camp have improved again, the fourth grade is already ordinary and is not worthy of the brave frontier army. It should be All members are in the third grade, and 10% are in the second grade.”
As soon as these words came out, both Cai Xingchang and Yu Shuai were a little confused.
Cai Xingchang couldn't help but pick his ears: "Master Jiang, tell me again, what do you think everyone is talking about?"
"All of them will reach the third rank, and 10% will reach the second rank." Jiang Lin repeated: "As for the military attachés of each battalion, they can all come to me with materials in exchange for precious weapons. The more materials, the better the quality of the weapons. Even mysterious weapons are not a problem. ”
Cai Xingchang's eyes started to heat up. He was already shocked that all the members were in the fourth grade, but now Jiang Lin had suddenly raised the quality of the weapons to a big level!
Although the gap between the middle fourth grade and the upper third grade is only one, its role in the military formation far exceeds this one, and may reach two or even three.
Yu Shuai stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Jiang Lin's shoulders, and asked urgently: "Are you serious? Are all of us going to the third level? Don't say that I haven't reminded you that the frontier army has the heaviest promise. That's what you said." If you fail to complete the military order, you will be severely punished even if you are at the second level of the Divine Martial Realm!”
Jiang Lin remained calm and composed, saying: "You can rest assured, Commander Yu, but this official is also a person who values promise and will not exaggerate. He is so happy about his achievements. It's just that it takes time to create a third-grade weapon, and it also requires the joint efforts of some skilled blacksmiths from the South Blacksmith Camp. If In case of emergency military affairs..." "What nonsense emergency military affairs, if you can build high-grade weapons for all the members of my camp, the Ministry of War will not even send a military order to the South Blacksmith Camp!" Yu Shuai said.
"Then if other commanders want to..."
"Let them come to me and have a fight!" Yu Shuai said nonchalantly.
Jiang Lin suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard this. In order to protect him, Liao Mingxu went to fight with Xu Kaijin. Whoever wins will be decided.
Unexpectedly, the frontier army general was like this, and the commander was also like this.
"The ancient purple golden wood..." Jiang Lin asked again.
Without saying a word, Yu Shuai turned around and jumped onto the thick strange tree. He hugged the thickest main branch in the middle and gave it a hard break.
The ancient purple golden wood, which was said to be indestructible, let out an overwhelmed whine under this unimaginable brute force.
The branches trembled, as if begging for mercy and crying.
Jiang Lin's heart moved and he quickly said: "Yushuai, I just want one part to make the bow body, without cutting off its main branch."
"Huh? This main branch is a good thing. It is harder than ordinary branches." Yu Shuai turned his head in surprise and said: "It's just a piece of wood. Why do you feel sorry for it?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Lindao: "Everything has a spirit, so I don't want to waste it."
"Okay." Yu Shuai let go of the main branch and looked around, trying to see which branch would be more suitable.
The ancient purple-gold wood shook slightly, and a large amount of purple-gold color poured into one of the branches, and then fell from above with a click.
Jiang Lin's heart moved. He walked over and picked up the branch, and a prompt appeared in his field of vision.
[Excellent quality wood, which can greatly increase the hardness (+30), flexibility (+30)...it is also indestructible, it is also indestructible, it is also...]
Jiang Lin was delighted when he saw it. Originally, the attribute of the ancient purple gold wood did not have the word +30 at the end. Just adding this attribute would surpass the big bow he was using now.
Yu Shuai jumped down from the tree, came over and pinched the branch, and said softly: "It seems to be much harder, and it can't be broken off."
He seemed to be aware of something, turned to look at the ancient purple gold wood, smiled and cursed: "It turns out that it is still a spiritual thing, but it is very hidden."
The branches of the ancient purple golden wood swayed slightly, as if expressing their grievances.
On weekdays, it's okay to break off a few twigs, but today the main branch was almost broken.
Jiang Lin also looked over. Although this strange tree could not speak, he vaguely felt some emotions in it.
Gratitude, kindness.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel something in his heart. The ancient purple gold wood was obtained from Xuanhua Tao, and the blacksmith was inextricably linked to the Taoist sect. Could it be that this strange tree understood the truth?
It's a pity that this is a treasure of the imperial court, and it is planted in the Marshal's Mansion, so it is difficult to move it away.
"This branch is pretty good, so I guess it recognizes it." Yushuai said with a smile: "Then the matter is settled. If you can't complete it, I don't want you to pay back this branch."
"Xiaguan knows." Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said, "Then Xiaguan will go back and report to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to send more charcoal fire and pig iron."
"Report something to the Ministry of Works. Cai Xingchang, you take people to the Ministry of Works and ask them to hand over the things. Just say that this matter is a special authorization of our border army and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Works. It will save them from wanting to take a commission from it."
Cai Xingchang smiled and said: "My subordinates understand that if the Ministry of Works can get a tael of silver from it, I will hang my head on the door of the Ministry of Works."
How can we allow outsiders to take advantage of the benefits that our own family has gained when the border troops protect their shortcomings?
Even though Jiang Lin was nominally affiliated with the Ministry of Industry, in the eyes of these frontier military figures, it was false.
This guy belongs to our frontier army, no one can take him away!
After leaving the Commander's Mansion with Cai Xingchang, Jiang Lin said as he walked: "Thank you so much, Mr. Cai, for leading the way today. I don't know how to thank you. How about sending three of my top-grade Xuanbing Chaos heavy arrows back to Mr. Cai?"
"Then I will be disrespectful, hahaha." Cai Xingchang said very happily: "Speaking of which, you are appreciated by Commander Yu, and you are going to build weapons for our entire army. Your prestige in the army will definitely be high in the future. I'm afraid this news Spread the word, although I am the commander-in-chief, I may not be able to speak with you."
"The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The border army has strict military discipline and things like this will not happen. What's more, I just make weapons, but Mr. Cai fights side by side with the sergeants. I can't compare."
Cai Xingchang felt even happier after hearing this, and his eyes gradually became hotter when he looked at Jiang Lin.
"I heard that Mr. Jiang is not married yet? I have a little girl who is now eighteen years old..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin quickly cupped his hands and said, "I've been out for too long. I think the people in the blacksmith camp can't wait to know the good news. I'll take a step first and say goodbye."
Seeing him fleeing in despair, Cai Xingchang couldn't help but murmured: "My daughter is not said to be beautiful and fragrant, but she can be regarded as a sinking fish and a goose. You can just run away! If it doesn't work, I still have two daughters, so just send them together. .”
Jiang Lin just didn't hear this. If he had, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
The so-called three women and one play, you are sending a troupe here!
After returning to the South Blacksmith Camp, Jiang Lin called Blacksmith Qi and more than 20 masters, and said: "The elite blacksmith team must be expanded immediately. Those who can make third-grade weapons with the pig iron I smelt can join. ”
Blacksmith Qi and others were surprised and said: "How many people will Master Jiang expand to? What should we do if there are too many people?"
"At least three hundred people." Jiang Lin said: "As for the number of people who meet the requirements, if the number exceeds, then the one with the highest ranking will be chosen based on their contribution."
"Three hundred people!" Blacksmith Qi and others were shocked. Previously, the elite blacksmith team only had one hundred people. Doesn't that mean that the reserve team was added to the team?
Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Mr. Jiang, why do you suddenly need so many people? Is there some big job that the Ministry of Industry wants to send?"
Jiang Lin shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Industry has no jobs to send down for the time being. Even if they do, the Foundry Department will take over the jobs and then allocate them. This time I took over a big job from the border army. There are too few people, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
"What big job?"
"For Yu Shuai's millions of soldiers, all of them will be equipped with high-grade third-grade weapons."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, their mouths opened wide and their eyes widened.
Millions of soldiers build high-grade third-grade weapons?
Crazy, really going crazy!
Looking for follow-up order, follow-up will be later
