Chapter 9 Liu's Blacksmith Shop
As Wuqinxi reached the peak of the third level, a new prompt appeared on the panel.
Looking at the prompts on the panel, Qin Jiang did not hesitate and said ‘yes’ directly in his mind.
【Insufficient potential points, unable to perform deduction. 】
? ? ?
He looked at the prompts on the panel with some confusion. Why are you asking me?
My consciousness fell on the prompt, and I subconsciously learned that if I want to perform martial arts deductions, I need potential points equal to the highest level of martial arts experience.
In other words, if you want to perform Wu Qin Xi, you need to consume 1.2 potential points.
Not even close.
He thought again of the potential points he obtained from the statue of the Goddess Huang Tian during the day.
What exactly do it have in common with that tombstone?
The next morning, Liu's blacksmith shop in the north of the city.
Qin Jiang stood outside the blacksmith shop. This was the only best blacksmith shop in the north of the city.
Last night at the restaurant, he heard those people say that the county captain had led troops to Daheishan, which made him feel a bit of a crisis.
In the past, even if there were some tasks out of the city, people from the Red Tiger Gang were basically responsible for them.
After all, the Red Tiger Gang has far more people than the county soldiers.
And if the county soldiers are dispatched, or even led by a high-ranking person like the county captain, it will represent too much.
This means that the Red Tiger Gang may no longer have the ability to solve a certain problem!
After all, although the county captain himself may not be the opponent of the Red Tiger Gang leader, the county soldier's individual combat power is much stronger than that of the Red Tiger Gang, not to mention the use of tactics and formations.
Coupled with the advantages of armor and weapons, it can be said that a ten-man county soldier is enough to defeat a hundred people from the Red Tiger Gang.
Phew~~It’s such an eventful time.
Opening the door curtain and walking into the blacksmith shop, there were several rows of shelves. There was no place for blacksmithing, only a few servant-like people wiping various iron products.
Most of them were agricultural tools and jewelry, but no weapons were seen.
A young man with the style of a leader came over, looked at Qin Jiang's neat black cloth, threw the rag in his hand over his shoulder, and bent down slightly, "Master, what do you want?"
“Knife.” Qin Jiang said.
The boy's eyes were slightly bright. On weekdays, most of the people who came here were people buying farm tools. Not many people wanted knives. They were basically gang disciples.
But don’t tell me, looking at this person’s dress, it’s really possible.
"Okay, Master, please come with me."
The two walked past the first few rows of shelves and came to the very end, where various types of knives and rings were placed. First sword, short sword, horizontal sword, etc.
“Master, take a look, is there anything that suits your taste?” the boy asked with a smile.
Qin Jiang nodded slightly and picked up a horizontal knife with a blade about two feet long.
Weighing the blade, he shook his head, "It's a bit light."
Then he stretched out his finger and flicked the blade lightly, and a trembling sound was heard.
“The intensity is gone,” he said.
Nowadays, his senses are extremely strong. He can tell that the texture of this knife is a little uneven just by the trembling sound just now. It will be fine for normal use, but if it encounters a high-intensity battle, I am afraid that it will not last long.
The boy on the side smiled when he heard this, with a hint of ridicule, "Sir, you probably don't know that these knives are all made by our boss, and they are much better than those farm tools.
< br>On weekdays, to be honest, not many people can afford it, but it is indeed uncommon on the market.”
I don’t know where this person came from, but he actually said that our Liu’s knives are not good. ?
Did you know that our Liu family is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for hundreds of years!
Qin Jiang smiled when he heard this. Of course he understood what the young man meant, "How much does this knife cost?" The young man bent slightly and said, "Chenghui, one hundred and sixty Wen."
Qin Jiang nodded slightly, then closed his eyes slightly, his fingertips gently brushed the blade, and subtle vibrations were transmitted to his ears along the fingertips.
Suddenly, there was an unexpected sound in the rhythmic vibrato.
He opened his eyes suddenly and pointed somewhere in the middle of the blade.
Bump~~~
With a rapid trembling sound, the blade suddenly broke, half of the blade was inserted straight into the ground like an arrow, and the tip of the blade was three fingers deep into the ground!
Hiss~
The boy on the side was frightened by this sudden scene and took a few steps back. He looked at the half of the blade stuck in the ground in shock.
This. This. This is a knife made by the owner himself. How could it be broken by someone's finger? !
He raised his head and looked at Qin Jiang, the sarcasm in his eyes had long disappeared, and he became cautious, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Even if I buy this knife, is there anything better?" Qin Jiang asked.
The boy nodded repeatedly, "Hey, please wait a moment, I will go and invite the master!"
After saying that, he ran straight to the backyard, and after a while, he led a group of A young man walked in.
The young man was dressed in sky blue clothes and looked elegant. He didn't look like a blacksmith at all, but more like a scholar.
However, the exposed hands were faintly black, and one could tell at a glance that they had practiced some kind of martial arts.
Come to think of it, being able to run a blacksmith shop in the outer city must have some special skills.
The man in rich clothes walked closer and saw half of the blade stuck on the ground, and his eyes trembled slightly.
Almost all the knives here are made by him himself. Although they are not his proud creations, they are still of the highest quality in the outer city.
Able to break the blade of a sword with one finger, this young man who looks a bit younger than himself must be a real warrior!
If so, maybe
Immediately, he smiled, "Little brother, since this knife is not good, how can you collect money?
I am the owner of this blacksmith shop, Liu Yize, please follow me to the backyard, some ordinary soldiers , please taste it!”
Qin Jiang nodded slightly.
“Please!” Liu Yize smiled.
The two came to the backyard and walked directly into the workshop where weapons were tempered. As soon as they entered the room, they felt a wave of heat hitting their faces.
The sound of clanking hammers continued, and several strong men raised their hammers and then dropped them heavily, accompanied by flying sparks.
Qin Jiang unbuttoned his clothes and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and smooth arms, which made Liu Yize on the side look slightly sideways.
He also took off his outer clothes, revealing the mandarin jacket underneath. His arms were very thick, much larger than Qin Jiang's. Veins bulged just by clenching his fists slightly.
“Come on, please come this way!” Liu Yize raised his hand to the inside.
Through the inner hall, the two came to a warehouse. Various iron blanks were piled everywhere, and two fine iron shelves were leaning against the corner.
"Brothers, look, this is the treasure of my Liu family! Although it is not a magical weapon, it is considered to be the top of ordinary soldiers in terms of materials and forging techniques!"
Liu Yize spoke with a hint of something in his words. He is very proud. With more than a hundred years of experience, Liu's family is naturally enough to look down on the outer city.
Qin Jiang nodded slightly and his eyes fell on the iron frame. There were not only various types of knives, but also axes and swords, and even half of a gun body.
The half of the gun body is about ten feet long, and the tail has a threaded structure. It only needs an iron rod and a little combination to become a battlefield weapon.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile. If this was before the troubled times, this half of the gun body alone would be enough to put Liu Yize in jail.
This Liu family doesn't seem to be a good person.
“Haha, brother, don’t be offended. The county government has already relaxed the rule of arms casting. Apart from not being able to make armor privately, spears and axes like this are nothing anymore.
Sometimes, officials from the county government would ask me, Liu, to customize weapons." Liu Yize said with a smile.
Qin Jiang nodded slightly and stepped forward to choose a knife.
Not long after, he picked up a horizontal knife.
