He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 289 Breakthrough is so casual

Needless to say, the proficiency level needs to increase to 500,000 before it can be upgraded.

Both flame temperature and burning efficiency have been greatly improved, which is good news.

Previously, Jiang Lin was able to burn hundreds of pieces of pig iron at a time. Now that his efficiency has improved, he can probably burn dozens more.

But even so, the next upgrade will probably take several months. If there are any further delays, it may take more than a year.

"It seems that even if you are forging, you cannot stop burning the fire. You must distract yourself from controlling the Hengyu Furnace. Otherwise, your promotion speed in the future will be too slow."

Jiang Lin thought secretly that with his current fire control ability, it would not be difficult to do this.

If you can keep burning fire during the hammering process, the efficiency will be increased several times.

In addition to fire temperature and efficiency, the quality of casting materials has also increased from 90% to 120%, a full one-third higher, which is a significant improvement.

With such a quality increase, it is estimated that the weapons made by elite blacksmiths using the pig iron burned by Jiang Lin would be at least of the top three grade.

Those with more outstanding skills may be able to directly reach the upper second level.

As for the two probability-based skills that Jiang Lin has always paid the most attention to, the grades have been improved through re-forging. One has been improved to 5%, and the other has been improved to 0.3%.

Although it has grown exponentially, the base number is too small, so the probability still seems very low.

Calculating purely by probability, about one out of twenty pieces that are recycled can be upgraded in grade, and one out of three or four hundred pieces can be directly upgraded by two grades.

Jiang Lin nodded slightly. This seems to be okay.
In addition, the improvement of fire-making skills has brought certain benefits to the collection of gold and fire essences in the baking furnace method.

It’s just that the required quantity is too large, and just one skill upgrade is not enough to complete the progress.

Jiang Lin glanced at several other skills.

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv9 (Proficiency 486215/500000)]

[Skill 3: Quenching Lv7 (Proficiency 1993/2000)]

[Skill 4: Archery Lv5 (Proficiency 185/3000)]

[Skill 5: Blade Sharpening Lv7 (Proficiency 1982/2000)]

The quenching and sharpening are almost ready for upgrading, and the hammering will probably take a few more days.

As for archery...

Jiang Lin pondered for a moment. So far, he was still only level 5, which was a bit too low.

According to previous experience, each skill will receive a huge improvement when it is upgraded to level 7, and there will be additional skills with great practical value.

Although his archery skills were sufficient at the moment, his current level was not very high, and it would be easy to improve it.

It is better to take some time to upgrade to level 7 and see what the bonus effect is. It is basically a sure win.

As for now...

Jiang Lin turned around without thinking, opened the furnace door, took out a few pieces of pig iron that had already been burned, then raised the hammer and started hammering.

This time, he did not forge a slightly more complicated long sword or something like that. Instead, he casually hammered it a few times to have a rough outline, and then quenched and sharpened it.

Seeing Jiang Lin started to forge iron again, everyone thought that his breakthrough was over, so they came over.

Zheng Qiran was full of admiration: "You're too diligent to start forging iron right after you've made a breakthrough."

"As the saying goes, hard work pays off. Besides, he is so talented, no wonder he has achieved what he has today," said Cai Xingchang.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Lin, who had just finished a new round of sharpening, looked up and saw it, and immediately shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped in a hurry, but they were very confused.

Only Qi the Blacksmith seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but ask in astonishment: "Master Jiang's breakthrough, is it possible that it is not over yet?"

"All the strange phenomena in heaven and earth have disappeared. It must be over." Someone said.

"What if he continues to break through?" asked Blacksmith Qi.

Everyone was stunned. Continue to break through?

This kind of thing has happened before, but last time Jiang Lin made breakthroughs one after another, but this time he seems to be hitting the target with his sword. It doesn’t look like he’s going to make a breakthrough at all.

Cai Xingchang smiled and said, "You only have a superficial understanding of martial arts, so it's normal for you to be afraid. In my opinion, he should have just completed a breakthrough and wanted to take the opportunity to hone his skills and didn't want to be disturbed. It's not so easy to break through above the Divine Martial Realm."

To condense the primordial energy of heaven and earth into profound energy is definitely not a one-day job. Many people take more than ten years to advance to one level.

Even several commanders of the border troops were able to raise their cultivation to their current level only because of various opportunities and the accumulation of elixirs bestowed by His Majesty.

After all, Cai Xingchang is an eighth-rank master in the Yuanwu realm and a second-rank general. He is knowledgeable and experienced, so everyone is naturally convinced.

What's more, what he said makes sense. If one has some enlightenment and takes the opportunity to hone his skills, it is normal that he doesn't like to be disturbed.

Everyone patiently gathered a few hundred meters around the blacksmith's shop, waiting for Jiang Lin to finish his "training".

This wait lasted for more than half an hour.

Zheng Qiran, who had been paying attention to the blacksmith's shop, was cheered up when he saw Jiang Lin walk out from the grindstone. He said, "It should be over."

As a result, his face changed slightly before he even took a step.

The sky and the earth changed color, and vital energy surged in again, making the area within hundreds of meters feel like a mountain pressing down.

The huge feeling of oppression made those with lower cultivation level groan, and immediately blood started flowing from their mouths and noses, and they retreated in panic.

Cai Xingchang stared in amazement as he watched the vital energy of heaven and earth pouring into Jiang Lin's body. Even though he had seen a lot, he was still a little confused at this moment.

What is this doing?
Another breakthrough?

That’s right, Jiang Lin had indeed made another breakthrough, this time in his quenching skills.

The quenching skill upgraded to level 8 naturally does not bring as much warmth as the burning skill, but the amount of heaven and earth energy it attracts is still considerable.

The cyclone in Dantian rotates at a very fast speed, condensing and compressing a large amount of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth and transforming it into Xuan Qi.

There were originally only eight strands of mysterious energy in Jiang Lin's body, but now with the injection of new vital energy, the number began to grow continuously.

Nine strands, ten strands, eleven strands...

It doesn't stop until the number of strands increases to fifteen.

Jiang Lin glanced at his own information.

[Skill 3: Quenching Lv8 (Proficiency 0/5000)]

[Skill 5: Level 8 Rebirth, Perfect Quenching, Improves the quality of castings by 2% (% may be doubled), and the attributes of castings +]

The quality of the castings has increased from 35% to 70%, and there is an additional effect, which means the 5% may be doubled!
Jiang Lin couldn't help but see his eyes light up slightly. If it could really be doubled, it would be equivalent to directly improving the quality by 10%, even exceeding the improvement of the material by level .

Of course, a five percent probability is a little low.

But this is not a problem. As the level of your skills increases, the probability will continue to increase.

Just like the initial Hundred Refinements level was only 1%, now it has reached an astonishing 35%!
In addition, each attribute has been increased by 1 point.

This improvement is not bad, especially the increase in attribute points, which Jiang Lin thinks is better than the quality itself to a certain extent. Just like the Star Destroying Hammer, although the grade is only a mid-grade Xuanbing, but with a hardness of up to 39 points, even a low-grade Yuanbing may not be able to withstand the power of this hammer.

At least in Jiang Lin's daily training, even with precious weapons, he felt it was as easy as smashing tofu.

Attribute bonuses can allow an object to exceed the limit of its own grade, and grow almost infinitely, as long as you can find the corresponding materials for fusion and forging.

He let out a light breath, and the compression of his physique caused by the fire force became more relaxed after the improvement of the quenching technique.

It was as if there were several ropes tied around my body, but now they were loosened.

After stretching his body a little, Jiang Lin did not waste any time. He turned back to the blacksmith shop and picked up a few pieces of pig iron. He started to sharpen them without burning or hammering them.

Under such circumstances, sharpening the blade seems extremely simple.

Just grind the edges to create a cutting edge and you're done.

As for the people outside the blacksmith shop, there are only a few who can still stay there at this moment. At least they are old masters like Qi the Blacksmith whose cultivation level has been improved by elixirs.

When Zheng Qiran saw Jiang Lin sitting in front of the whetstone, he suddenly became hesitant.

Is this finally over?

He couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Cai Xingchang and asked, "Sir, should we go or not?"

Cai Xingchang doesn’t know now. Logically speaking, after two consecutive breakthroughs, the game should be over.

But Jiang Lin just sat in the blacksmith shop and didn't come out. His posture was almost exactly the same as before, making it hard to figure out what was going on.

The general, who has always been decisive in killing, was finally in trouble in this small blacksmith camp.

However, Qi the blacksmith beside him said boldly: "If Lord Jiang has completed the breakthrough, he will definitely invite us over. Since he didn't say anything, there must be more."

"You mean, he is going to make a third breakthrough?" Zheng Qiran asked in astonishment.

"There have been three consecutive breakthroughs before, so it's not surprising. After all, this is Lord Jiang, the most talented blacksmith in the history of our Southern Blacksmith Camp. Even our forefather can't match his talent!" As Blacksmith Qi spoke, his tone, eyes, and expression were all filled with unspeakable pride and pride.

A talented blacksmith from the Southern Blacksmith Camp, who had personally taught him how to quench!

Just thinking about this matter, Qi the blacksmith would wake up from his sleep with laughter.

Zheng Qiran opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Not to mention him, even Cai Xingchang remained silent.

It is not surprising that one’s martial arts skills have made continuous breakthroughs.

It is not impossible to make continuous breakthroughs in the Yuanwu realm.

But this is the Divine Martial Realm!
He was certain that Jiang Lin had made continuous breakthroughs in the Divine Martial Realm without any external help.

Just by lighting the fire, hammering, quenching and sharpening in the blacksmith shop, the breakthrough came naturally.

Seeing Jiang Lin sharpening the blade seriously, Cai Xingchang couldn't help but sigh: "After the breakthrough, he immediately started the next stage of training and understanding. His current achievements are all due to his steady and down-to-earth efforts. I am ashamed of myself."

"Of course. Lord Jiang's diligence is unmatched in the entire foundry." Blacksmith Qi immediately agreed.

Only when it came to matters concerning Jiang Lin did he dare to speak to the general in this way.

Before they had chatted for a few minutes, Jiang Lin had already completed the last few sharpenings.

When he walked out of the blacksmith's shop, Cai Xingchang couldn't help holding his breath.

Is it time for a third breakthrough?
Sure enough, the next moment, a large amount of heaven and earth energy surged in from all directions.

Level 8 sharpening!
The amount of mysterious energy in the cyclone began to increase again.

The sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth...

It still increased by seven strands before stopping. At this point, there were already twenty-two strands of mysterious energy in Jiang Lin's Dantian.

Gathering together, they look like a very small stream.

Although there are few of them, they are already qualified to swim.

In an instant, his aura expanded at an extremely fast speed, breaking through the limit of the first level of the Divine Martial Realm and reaching the second level of the Divine Martial Realm!
Cai Xingchang's face changed and he immediately pulled everyone back.

Countless powerful energies turned the area within a radius of several hundred meters into a world of swords and shadows. Anyone who entered below the Yuanwu realm would surely die!

Such a horrifying scene made even those who were far away shudder.

Is this the breakthrough to the Divine Martial Realm?

It's simply sensational!

Among the people present, only Cai Xingchang had seen what a breakthrough to the Divine Martial Realm was like.

However, the general's face was now filled with horror, and his heart was in turmoil.

This is definitely the cultivation level of the second level of the Divine Martial Realm!

Moreover, the aura was extremely heavy, definitely not that of an ordinary second-grade Divine Martial Realm!
In one day, he broke through from the ninth level of Yuanwu to the second level of Shenwu realm three times in a row...

Cai Xingchang was at a loss for words to describe the shock he felt from this incident. Even the great generals at the founding of the country shouldn't have been so outrageous, right?
After all, Jiang Lin didn't take any elixirs, nor did he take any rare treasures to improve his cultivation.

Until all the energy disappeared and the dust settled, the ground within hundreds of meters had been scratched and riddled with holes.

Various deep dents run through the earth, making this place look as if it had just experienced the end of the world.

The people from the Construction Department were watching the fun from the sidelines, and they felt like crying as they watched.

They repair the roads every day, it never ends.

Everyone was looking at Jiang Lin. No one dared to step forward without hearing his call, not even Cai Xingchang.

At this time, Jiang Lin was still checking the changes in the sharpening skills.

[Skill 5: Blade Sharpening Lv8 (Proficiency 0/5000)]

[Skill 7: Newly developed at level 8, perfect sharpening, improves the quality of castings by 2% (% may be doubled), and the attributes of castings +]

The sharpening technique and the upgrade of the new level 8 sharpening skill are exactly the same as quenching.

All of them will increase the quality of the casting to 1%, with another % likely to be doubled, and add point to each attribute.

Jiang Lin did not feel disappointed. After all, previous experience showed that level 8 was a transition. When it reached level 9, there would be another qualitative leap and there would be a chance to obtain new magical effects.

In addition, the improvement of quenching and sharpening skills has also further increased the progress of collecting fire essence and gold essence by the furnace baking method, which has now reached about 30%.

As for my own cultivation...

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked to the side. His field of vision had extended to tens of thousands of meters. At such a long distance, he could see even a fly flying by clearly.

Moreover, after the vital energy of heaven and earth was transformed into mysterious energy, he began to have an indescribable new understanding of this world.

It is as if a small part of the world has become a part of the body, or rather, the body has merged into this world, and the connection between them has become closer.
