Chapter 35 Good Impression
“Jiang Kai?”
In a spacious and bright hall in the courtyard behind Jin Geng’s blacksmith shop, a burly man with a short head and a stubble was sighing after hearing the young man’s report. He couldn't help but frown, feeling that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who the corresponding person was.
"Aqiang~" The strong man who thought to no avail did not hesitate and said to the young man: "Bring that little guy in and I will ask him personally~"
Although it is still I didn't remember who the person named Jiang Kai was, but since he said he had a nose and eyes, and he brought a letter with him, he must have indeed studied under the teacher.
Of course, the details mentioned by the young man, Aqiang, when he was recounting just now, about Ling Yi wearing the uniform of the [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy], also have some credibility bonus...
After a few minutes.
"Senior Brother Ninth~" Aqiang brought Ling Yi to the hall and introduced him immediately: "This is kid Ling Yi..."
"Little guy~"
When the ninth senior brother turned his attention to Ling Yi, Aqiang said to Ling Yi: "This is the owner and person in charge of our [Jin Geng Blacksmith Shop] head office, the ninth direct disciple of the old man——"< br>
Hearing this, Ling Yi, who always maintained the innocence of a child, took the lead in greeting politely: "Hello, shopkeeper, I am Ling Yi~"
"Hmm~" Ninth Senior Brother looked at Ling Yi's school uniform. After a pause, he saw Ling Yi being so well-behaved and polite, with a kind smile on his face, and his smile became even brighter: "Hello, little guy, my surname is He, just call me Uncle He~"
Ninth Senior Brother showed his kindness, and Ling Yi naturally would not refuse. He immediately changed his mind and called out: "Uncle He!"
"Hmm~" Ninth Senior Brother heard this and nodded with satisfaction, showing his straightforward personality. He didn't mince words to test anything, he got straight to the point, looked directly at Ling Yi's little face, and said: "Little Ling Yi, I heard A Qiang say that you brought Jiang Kai's letter and wanted to give it to my master..."
Ling Yi nodded: "Yes~"
Turning to the letter that Ling Yi still held in his hand, Brother Ninth asked with a smile: "So, can Xiao Lingyi show me the letter first?"
"This..." Ling Yi listened. , a look of hesitation appeared on his little face.
"Haha~" Brother Ninth saw this, shook his head with a chuckle, and said: "Xiao Lingyi, don't worry, uncle just wants to verify the identity of the Jiang Kai you mentioned through the content in the letter. Situation~"
"Otherwise, I can't just take you, a strange little guy, to see my master without asking anything or not knowing anything, right?"
Follow the Ninth Senior Brother? After the words fell, Ling Yi's face showed a confused expression of approval, followed by a few breaths of hesitation and hesitation. Finally, his expression turned serious, he nodded vigorously, and said: "Then... okay - ”
As he spoke, the hand holding the letter slowly but firmly handed it to the Ninth Senior Brother who was sitting in front of him.
The letter was placed in a ginger-yellow hard-shell paper envelope, sealed with paste. Brother Ninth took out an exquisite dagger from his waist, casually opened the opening of the envelope with the tip of the blade, and took out the contents. of stationery, unfold it and read it.
Seeing the other party lowering his head to read the letter, Ling Yi remained expressionless. Ling Yi had already read the content of the letter through the text and colors on the paper using his mental power.
The content is not much, I just wrote that I became a disciple of Mr. Jin more than 30 years ago. Unfortunately, my talent is dull and I have been studying for more than ten years. I am still an intermediate blacksmith and cannot become a senior blacksmith. I am very frustrated. I said goodbye to my teachers and brothers and returned to my hometown in the countryside. I have missed it often these years.
At the end of the letter, Master Jiang specifically mentioned Ling Yi. He said that Ling Yi not only had the qualifications to become a soul master, but also had extremely high forging talent. He only studied with him for one year. Apart from the fact that he was still young, In terms of strength, he is not very strong, but his pure forging skills are no worse than him, and he is definitely at the level of an intermediate blacksmith!
In order not to delay Ling Yi's forging talent, and to make up for Jiang Kai's regrets back then, he begged the old man to take Ling Yi under his disciple and teach him the forging skills...
A letter, hundreds to nearly a thousand words, It's eloquent, although the words are a little messy and many sentences don't read very smoothly, the feelings inside are quite sincere.
In this regard, Ling Yi felt extremely grateful to Master Jiang, the master blacksmith and forging guide who had only taught him intermittently for a year. ‘Master Jiang’s eldest grandson has already awakened his martial soul and has no soul power. The second grandson will undergo the martial soul awakening ceremony in the second half of the year, and it will be too late. The grandson is still young. I will wait for the ginseng in the old forest to mature, make some chicken soup to replenish him, and cooperate with hypnosis to induce deep sleep to absorb. Maybe there is hope to awaken the innate soul power...? ’
While waiting for Brother Ninth to read the letter, Ling Yi was thinking about how to repay Master Jiang’s help later.
At the same time, this is also building a team foundation for the future.
Is the Township Party also a force worthy of investment and trust~
Ling Yi is smart in mind, still well-behaved on his face, waiting patiently, while Brother Ninth is looking at the words in the letter Content, while recalling past memories:
'My surname is Jiang. I became a disciple of my master more than 30 years ago, but after more than ten years of training, I was only an intermediate blacksmith. I don't think I became a direct disciple, so I can only be regarded as an apprentice. A...'
'Left more than ten years ago and returned to his hometown...'
Brother Ninth is now thirty-five years old. He became a disciple of Mr. Jin twenty-six years ago. He became a junior blacksmith in two years, an intermediate blacksmith in five years, and a senior blacksmith in the tenth year. He also became the ninth direct disciple of Mr. Jin.
Counting the time, when he became a disciple, that senior brother Jiang Kaijiang...well, let's just call him senior brother, he should still be learning the art and has not left.
But unfortunately, the Ninth Senior Brother held the letter and read it several times. A short time passed, but he still could not find out the information about this Senior Brother Jiang in his mind.
There is no way. Since Mr. Jin returned from studying in the "Gengxin City" of the "Xingluo Empire" more than forty years ago, he opened the "Jin Geng Blacksmith Shop" in his hometown of "Muzhi City". I don’t know how many apprentices I have taught.
Although I have only accepted twelve direct disciples so far, people like Senior Brother Jiang can only learn to a similar level because of their average talent. In the end, they leave with the skills of an intermediate blacksmith or even a junior blacksmith. [Jin Geng Blacksmith Shop] was spread to various towns and villages in [Shuimu Principality] and opened a blacksmith shop, which can be regarded as spreading.
I couldn't recall it, but the Ninth Senior Brother didn't question the authenticity of Ling Yi's letter.
After all, the content of the letter was written in a meaningful way, and most of the blacksmiths in [Shuimu Principality] can do it now. Said to be the disciple and grandson of his master, the identity of this senior brother Jiang Kai is generally no problem.
What's more...
Looking at Ling Yi's school uniform again, the smile on Brother Ninth's face became even brighter:
"Little Ling Yi, Senior Brother Jiang said in the letter that after one year of learning forging with him, you have acquired the skills of an intermediate blacksmith. Is this true? ”
"Hehe~" Ling Yi heard the words, smiled shyly, with a hint of pride mixed with humility in his tone, and responded: "Master Jiang complimented me, I... I'm not strong enough, and I still can't master some forging skills. I can't compare. Master Jiang is so skilled..."
Hearing this, Brother Ninth's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the meaning.
Not strong enough? Not as skilled as Master Jiang?
What this little guy means is that if he is strong enough, in terms of skill alone, he is still better than Senior Brother Jiang who is an intermediate blacksmith?
Of course, the premise is that Senior Brother Jiang is really an intermediate blacksmith!
However, even if the little guy in front of him is just new to blacksmithing, as long as he has the idea of learning blacksmithing, Brother Ninth Brother will introduce him to his master.
You must know that although my master is one of the 'three great craftsmen' of the principality, and his status is no worse than most of the nobles in the capital, he has the opportunity to accept a disciple who is a promising soul master. , still quite few.
Soul masters are respected in Douluo Continent, and those with innate soul power all want to practice and become soul masters. There are really not many people who are willing to spend time learning forging and becoming a blacksmith.
Even though the two are not actually conflicting.
For example, his master, Mr. Jin, is a high-level soul master.
He himself is also a first-ring soul master.
