Chapter 38 Swallowing the jujube
On the seventh day after school started, it was five o'clock in the morning.
Bedroom 304, Building 3, on the bed on the right side of the innermost window, Ling Yi opened his eyes and woke up from a deep sleep.
Lying on the bed, he glanced left and right. Under the light of the stars and moon outside the window, a faint blue light and shadow came into Ling Yi's eyes.
After more than ten days of hard work, Ling Yi cultivated more than 100 high-quality "Blue Silver Grass" seeds brought from home into more than 100 thriving and growing "Blue Silver Grass" plants. .
At this time, these more than a hundred "Blue Silver Grass" plants were surrounded by Ling Yi's bed, forming a circle of short walls in an orderly manner. The top row was almost the same height as the bed.
Of course, Ling Yi also left openings for his own entrance and exit at the end and side of the bed to avoid inconvenience.
Getting up and getting dressed, Ling Yi moved gently without making a sound, so as not to wake up the other eight students who were still sleeping soundly in the dormitory.
After six consecutive days of course study since the start of the school year, the college finally had a rare day of rest today.
The vacation time for other students, here in Lingyi, is time to go to a blacksmith shop in the east of the city to learn forging skills.
After fetching water from the water storage room next to the middle staircase on the third floor and washing up, Ling Yi walked out of Building Three refreshed and walked out of the gate of [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy].
When we walked a few miles away from Chaoyang Street where the college was located, and still on another street in the east of the city, a red glow appeared in the eastern sky.
【Yinxin Blacksmith Shop】.
The shop owner Wang Meng is the fifth disciple of Mr. Jin, the blacksmith master. He has the martial soul "Iron Rake", a nineteenth-level first-level soul master, and a senior blacksmith.
Although Mr. Jin took Ling Yi under his tutelage a few days ago, he did not have enough energy to teach Ling Yi. After all, he is just a soul master of the soul master level. He is in his seventies this year. His physical condition is better than that of ordinary people of the same age, but there has been no qualitative change.
Furthermore, the rules of [Jin Geng]’s sect must not be broken. Ling Yi is only seven years old now. Even if his talent in blacksmithing is indeed extremely high and he showed no less skill than an intermediate blacksmith on the day he entered the school, he is still an intermediate blacksmith, not an intermediate blacksmith. Senior blacksmith.
If you are not a senior blacksmith, you have not yet reached the level of becoming Mr. Jin’s direct disciple.
Similarly, instead of being a senior blacksmith, Mr. Jin’s fifth disciple, Wang Meng, who has been immersed in the senior blacksmith for many years and is only a thin line away from the blacksmith, is more than enough to teach him.
Generally speaking, in everyone's perception, Ling Yi, who is now seven years old, should not be able to dig out Wang Meng's inventory for at least five years.
Maybe, before Ling Yi can be promoted to senior blacksmith, Wang Meng will have a flash of inspiration and break through to the blacksmith master level.
On this point, Wang Meng, who has polished his skills to the limit and has been practicing for almost ten years, still firmly believes in it!
When Ling Yi came to the door of this [Yinxin Blacksmith Shop], the door of the shop was already wide open. It was dark inside, and there were faint dark red lights and shadows that flickered on and off. The non-existent heat spreads outward.
While Ling Yi was still looking around, a figure walked out of the dark shop.
Fifth Senior Brother Wang Meng is a tall and strong man with unremarkable facial features. He is tall and has long arms. His right arm that wields a forging hammer all the time is thicker than his left arm, which looks a bit weird.
Although his appearance is unattractive and his body shape is likely to scare a child to tears at first glance, Ling Yi, who had had brief contact with him, felt at first glance that he had a good personality.
"Xiao Yi is here, have you eaten?" Wang Meng looked at Ling Yi at the door, with a kind smile on his ordinary face, which made people feel good about him.
In response to this, Ling Yi immediately replied with a sunny smile that also made people feel good, and replied a little shyly: "Not yet... not yet..."
Wang Meng couldn't smile when he heard this. Min, waving his hands, said: "Just in time, your sisters-in-law have baked bread and cooked porridge, let's eat some together.
When we finish eating, we will start forging again——"
Words Not much, but every sentence is very simple, without many twists and turns. In Ling Yi's opinion, he is a person who can be assured.
Of course, being able to be helped by Old Man Jin to open a blacksmith shop of his own in the east of the city, apart from his excellent craftsmanship, was also the old man's recognition of him. You know, it is true that "Muzhi City" is not ranked high in the Douluo Continent, but after all, it is the capital of the "Shuimu Principality", and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is precious.
Such a store plus a forging yard behind it that can be used at home is more than 500 square meters, which is not cheap.
Wang Meng had the skills of a high-level blacksmith back then. Many nobles were willing to invest in him, open a blacksmith shop for him, or invite him to be a forger in the family, but how could these open their own shops? The freedom of being a boss——
Ling Yi did not shirk anything, but showed a few hesitations on his face before nodding in agreement with some embarrassment.
After having a hearty breakfast with Fifth Senior Brother, his two wives, and six children, Ling Yi, under the envious eyes of Wang Lei and Wang Ben, joined Wang Xin, Wang Sen, and The four brothers Wang Yan and Wang Yao came to a forging platform together.
At this time, after a period of burning, the charcoal blocks in the furnaces have begun to release heat.
Twenty-year-old Wang Xin and his three younger brothers, who are two, four, and seven years younger than him, smiled at Ling Yi, then picked up the things on the stage and immersed themselves in their work. stand up.
These four, except for Wang Yao who inherited the martial spirit "Scissors" from Wang Meng's eldest wife, are all awakened "Iron Rake" martial spirits.
Unfortunately, none of the four brothers could inherit Wang Meng's qualifications. During the martial soul awakening ceremony, no innate soul power was detected.
I just don't know whether the two little guys Wang Lei and Wang Ben will inherit their father's "Iron Rake" martial spirit or their mother's "Pearl" martial spirit in the future.
Of course, thanks to the fact that Wang Meng and his second wife both have soul power, and when they were combined, Wang Meng's soul power had already exceeded level ten and became a first-level soul master. In the martial soul awakening ceremony, the chance of awakening the innate soul power is quite high.
So, the two little guys envy their four brothers to learn blacksmithing from their father. Little did they know that the four brothers also envied them for having a higher chance of becoming soul masters.
[Yinxin Blacksmith Shop] In front of the largest forging platform, Wang Meng lowered his head and looked at Ling Yi in front of him. The smile on his face disappeared. He became more serious and his voice became solemn:
< br> "Xiao Yi, when you demonstrated your forging skills at the master's place that day, I only saw the second half, but I can still see that your mastery of skills and control of details are already close to that of a senior blacksmith. , but your age and physical strength limit you——"
"But!"
As soon as Wang Meng finished his words of praise, a turning point occurred.
I saw his thick and round eyebrows twisting, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, you have a lot of bad habits in the forging process!"
"Bad habits?" Ling Yi heard this. , with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Yes! Bad habit~" Wang Meng nodded and said again: "According to discussions between my master, me, and other senior brothers, this bad habit has two root causes -"
Ling Yi had some vague guesses in her heart, her eyes met Wang Meng's condescending gaze, and she quietly waited for the other person's next words.
Seeing that Ling Yi was so calm at such a young age, Wang Meng couldn't hold it back, a clear look of appreciation flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but speak faster: "One is to teach you how to get started with forging. That Jiang Kai inevitably brings with him many personal habits in his daily forging. They are all flaws that he has slowly accumulated without even realizing it after being a mid-level blacksmith for many years..."
Hearing this, Ling Yi was not surprised. At present, he has only learned blacksmithing from Master Jiang. If he has bad habits, he will naturally develop them in this process.
Furthermore, because of his strong mental power and keen five senses, Ling Yi can carefully observe Master Jiang's every movement, and transform Master Jiang's forging techniques based on his height, body shape, arm length and other data. become suitable for yourself.
So, Ling Yi’s learning method of copying and replicating is also a problem!
Sure enough, at this moment, Wang Meng's next words confirmed this point.
"The second point~" Wang Meng said this, his expression turned complicated, with envy, joy, and a little funny: "It is that your learning ability is too strong, whether it is good, bad, or right Yes, everything is wrong, I learned it all at once, and I can still learn it successfully..."
emmm~ It was exhausted when I saved the manuscript on the 12th. I have been insisting on double updates these days, and it is a bit difficult to get here. Now, the next chapter will be finished before noon, I said so!
