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

Chapter 349 A Hammer as Heavy as a Mountain

Jiang Lin nodded without much hesitation and said, "Since the Marshal is willing to teach me martial arts, that's great."

As for the level of spearmanship, Jiang Lin himself has reached level 7 and can create his own martial arts, so he may not be much worse than Ling Shuai.

But what he knows is not something that others can learn easily.

In terms of fighting skills, it is obvious that these marshals who have fought bloody battles in the border army for many years are stronger.

The most important thing is that Miao Yonghuai can get guidance from Ling Shuai, which means he has an additional layer of relationship.

Regardless of whether he has to confront the imperial court in the future, it will be a good thing for Miao Yonghuai personally.

Jiang Lin is very confident in himself, but he prefers to be prepared for everything.

Success is good, but if you fail, you should also leave a way out for those around you.

At this time, Miao Yonghuai had regained consciousness, so Jiang Lin called him over and told him to go and learn shooting from Ling Shuai.

Miao Yonghuai then realized that the person coming was not an enemy but the general of the army, and he was immediately frightened.

Although he is a big and strong man, he is not a fool and naturally understands what the word "Marshal" means.

That was a big shot who could cause the death of their entire family and even everyone they knew with just one sentence.

In the eyes of the lower class, he is like a god.

But Miao Yonghuai shook his head and said, "I just need to learn from Master."

Ling Shuai didn't waste any time talking to him. He just stretched out his hand and released his strength, grabbing the boy in mid-air.

Seeing that Miao Yonghuai was still struggling, Ling Shuai flicked his finger and hit him on the butt, causing him to cry out in pain.

It is difficult for many people to meet Ling Shuai, and now they have the opportunity to learn martial arts and spearmanship from him, but they are not willing to do it.

Jiang Lin saw this but did not stop it.

Song Ziyan was filled with envy watching from the side. He thought that if he could learn martial arts from the Marshal, his mother would be so happy when he went back to tell her.

It's a pity that what I practiced was swordsmanship, which is not compatible with gun skills.

As for Sheng Yingchun, she was the only one who had no interest and no envy.

In her opinion, being able to have a full meal with her master was already satisfying, and there was no need to seek anything else.

"Jiang boy, those materials are really indispensable?" asked Hong Shuai.

"It's too little. Please ask Marshal Yu if he agrees." Jiang Lin said.

Hong Shuai thought that without tens of thousands of materials, he really couldn't catch Yu Shuai.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go to the powerful clans and ask for it later. At worst, I'll go around the whole Daqian. But there's no rush for this matter now. At the very least, we have to wait until the northwestern border is stable." said General Hong.

"Of course." Jiang Lin nodded and said, "The war is the most important thing. I will start the furnace and prepare to forge the Holy Chaos Arrow. Marshal Hong, do you want to wait here or go talk to Marshal Yu first?"

"What the hell, there's nothing to talk about with him." Hong Shuai curled his lips and said, "I'll wait over there. Call me when you're done."

Ling Shuai held Miao Yonghuai in one hand and said, "I need to go back to southern Xinjiang to take charge, so I can't stay for long. I'll take this kid away and have someone send him back in a few days."

"No! I want to follow my master, I don't want to go!" Miao Yonghuai shouted relentlessly.

Jiang Lin turned a deaf ear to him and just bowed to Ling Shuai: "Thank you for your help, Ling Shuai."

Ling Shuai didn't say anything more. He tapped his toes lightly, flew into the air, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Song Ziyan looked at the place where they left, with envy and a little loneliness in his eyes.

At this time, a voice came from the side: "The martial arts taught by the master may not be worse than his."

Song Ziyan turned his head and saw Sheng Yingchun standing there with a determined look on her face, with no sign of wavering at all.

He suddenly felt guilty. His master was so good to him, how could he be so fickle?
The people from the Zhenshuo camp had already run over and welcomed Marshal Hong. Although he was not under their command, it was not uncommon for the seven marshals to occasionally transfer troops to each other, so they all had some friendship.

Seeing Hong Shuai being surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Lin looked at the old man Wei who stood up.

After hesitating for a while, he did not tell Old Man Wei not to kneel to anyone in the future.

After all, Old Man Wei came from a frontier army background and his ideas were completely different from mine, so there was no need to force it.

"Continue to practice with them." Jiang Lin said.

Old Man Wei nodded and led Sheng Yingchun and Song Ziyan towards the pig iron block.

When passing by, Jiang Lin suddenly called Sheng Yingchun and warned her, "Don't be so impulsive in the future."

Sheng Yingchun lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know that was someone you knew..."

"I'm not blaming you for chopping him. I'm blaming you for not figuring out his strength and not finding a good position before striking. I don't care what others do, I just don't want to see you suffer." Jiang Lin said.

Sheng Yingchun raised her head slightly, her eyes becoming brighter.

"Go ahead." Jiang Lin waved his hand.

"Yes, Master."

Coming to the pig iron block, Sheng Yingchun picked up the new Mo Dao that had been prepared nearby, and then looked at Jiang Lin again.

After turning her head back, she stared at the pig iron in front of her, and her grip on the knife tightened a little.

"Master... is a really nice person."

The girl thought so in her heart, and then her eyes became sharp, and she swung the sword in her hand with a frantic whistling sound. Jiang Lin took a few steps forward, looking at the two huge packages, and his mood was inevitably a little fluctuating.

If Marshal Hong is not lying, there are nearly nine thousand kinds of blacksmithing materials in here!

If there are really no duplicates with those on the list, then to what extent will the many iron tools in my hands be upgraded?
Even though his mind was as strong as a rock, Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his inner turmoil, and then picked up the packages in each hand and walked towards the blacksmith's shop.

Nine thousand kinds of blacksmithing materials, even if one of them weighs a few pounds, it would still be a weight of tens of thousands of pounds.

But Jiang Lin dragged it without any effort and arrived at the door of the blacksmith's shop easily.

When I opened the package at the door, a large pile of materials came into view.

A quick glance would reveal that there was almost nothing I had seen before.

These are all good things obtained from the homes of powerful clans, although most of them are of low grade, similar to black crystal iron, which is only one grade higher than ordinary pig iron.

But fusion forging never skips grades, it just requires enough types.

After taking a few deep breaths again, Jiang Lin began to sort all the materials.

The main thing is to pick out those with specific properties first, such as those that can increase hardness, penetration, repairability, etc.

These properties are used in everyday iron tools such as star-destroying hammers and anvils.

After picking these out and determining the quantity, the rest will be easy.

It took several hours to select, and until dark, all the materials were finally sorted.

Looking up at the sky, Jiang Lin did not go any further. He just put the sorted materials into the blacksmith shop one by one, then got up and left.

In fact, based on his usual style, he should have struck while the iron was hot and upgraded a few pieces of ironware first.

But now that Marshal Hong was present, Jiang Lin didn't want it to be too easy for him to forge a holy weapon. After all, Si Hongwen, the Minister of Works, said that he would let Jiang Lin know some things only when he needed a top-grade holy weapon.

But Marshal Yu never said whether it was a lower-grade holy weapon or a higher-grade holy weapon.

Now Jiang Lin no longer wants to know the truth. He would rather not know it for the rest of his life. In other words, it would be better to be an ignorant person until he is fully prepared to deal with the hidden dangers.

Of course, such a delay is of little significance, it will only delay it for a few days.

On the second day, Jiang Lin began to use specific materials to fuse and forge the Star-Destroying Hammer, anvil and other objects.

This time, we have sorted out a total of one or two thousand materials with specific properties that meet the requirements of the Star Destroying Hammer, and it will take a long time just to fuse and forge them.

jingle——

jingle——

The monotonous and rhythmic sound of hammering continued to echo in the blacksmith's shop.

Outside, the whistling sounds of two children swinging their weapons vigorously could be heard, one after another, alternating with each other.

During this time, Hong Shuai came to take a look and saw Jiang Lin hammering the hammer. He couldn't help but wonder why he didn't forge the Holy Weapon Chaos Arrow first.

Jiang Lin explained: "The quality of the ironware in my hand is not enough to support the forging of holy weapons. It needs to be upgraded first."

Hong Shuai glanced at the piles of materials here and was very surprised: "Can it be improved by integrating other materials like this?"

"Yes."

Hong Shuai had a strange look on his face. He was not a blacksmith, but he had seen many people forging iron. He had never heard of anyone being able to improve the quality of ironware in this way.

He didn't say anything else. Every profession has its own expertise. If he knew how to do it, he would have done it himself long ago.

If you don't know how, then stop talking.

Without anyone disturbing him, Jiang Lin spent nearly three days to complete the upgrade of the Star-Destroying Hammer.

[A very good quality hammer, hardness +1019, self-repair +726, with a thousand-hammer effect (each hammer improves the quality by %)]

More than one thousand kinds of materials are incorporated into it, making the Star Destroying Hammer's hardness reach an incredible level, almost five times as hard as before.

The self-repair ability has been improved by more than six times.

Now, even if the Star-Destroying Hammer is cut into two halves, it can be quickly restored to its original shape. As for the probability of being tempered by thousands of hammers, it has also increased by one thousandth compared to before, which is not very large.

However, it is not important. What is important is that with such hardness, even if a person at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm stood in front of him, Jiang Lin was confident that he could smash him to death with one hammer.

A spear like Ling Shuai's, which was of top-grade Yuanbing quality, would probably shatter into pieces if it was touched lightly.

The Star-Destroying Hammer at this moment was extremely heavy. According to Jiang Lin's estimation, it weighed at least tens of thousands of pounds.

After all, it’s not just the various materials that are fused, but also a large amount of heaven and earth energy will be incorporated due to the improvement of grade.

If it were another blacksmith, they wouldn't be able to pick up the hammer if they wanted to, let alone use it for hammering.

Only Jiang Lin, who has reached the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm, can wield this hammer as heavy as a mountain!
Looking at the eleventh branch of the magical treasure tree on the hammer, 40% of it has been lit up, which means that it is not far from the holy weapon.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but think to himself, if one day the Star-Destroying Hammer could really reach the level of a divine weapon, or even a Taoist weapon through fusion forging, how powerful would it be?

I'm afraid a mountain ten thousand meters high would be easily crushed.

Unfortunately, these are the only materials that can be used this time, and there are still thousands of other materials needed to upgrade the Star-Destroying Hammer into a Holy Weapon.

Looking at the thousands of different materials around him, Jiang Lin was a little impulsive. He wanted to just melt a thousand or so of them and make a holy weapon-grade hammer.
