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

Chapter 388 Is there a limit to pig iron?

Jiang Lin looked at Marshal Yu and asked, "Can Daqian owe me something so that His Majesty will not embarrass me anymore?"

Yu Shuai was startled, and subconsciously said: "Probably not."

"Then don't owe it. Just cash it in. Marshal Yu, just give me what you think these things are worth. I don't trust others, but I trust Marshal Yu very much." Jiang Lin said.

Yu Shuai immediately smiled bitterly. Jiang Lin's words were very practical. Since there was no use in owing favors, then don't owe them.

Moreover, he didn't directly say how much he wanted, but just let me decide for myself, and said that he trusted him a lot.

This is equivalent to putting people under pressure. If you give less, it will be in vain for people to trust you.

As the commander-in-chief of the frontier army, you want to take advantage of such an advantage?

If this reputation gets out, I'm afraid I'll be laughed to death.

Looking at Jiang Lin's calm expression, Yu Shuai felt that this guy might have already thought about what to say before he came to borrow things.

But although he knew that this was equivalent to transferring Daqian's favor to himself, Yu Shuai had no choice but to accept it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, there are still many good things in the royal private treasury. I will ask His Majesty to get some for you later!"

This is a clever way of saying it. I owe you a favor, but the gift was given by Your Majesty.

If you give me too little, you can't blame me, blame His Majesty instead.

Jiang Lin didn't care. He had to borrow the Sun-Chasing Bow and forge the Holy Chaos Arrow.

Even if Daqian didn't give him anything, he couldn't do anything.

Now that Marshal Yu has promised personally, I will get some benefits, which is already good enough.

Jiang Lin said: "It will take time to forge a better Saint Chaos Arrow. Marshal Yu, please go back. Once it is forged, I will send it to your house immediately."

"Okay, I might as well go see His Majesty and see if I can get you something good." said Yu Shuai.

"Thank you, General Yu, for your hard work." Jiang Lin said politely.

Yu Shuai didn't say anything else. He tiptoed and left the blacksmith camp.

Jiang Lin turned and went into the blacksmith's shop, took a large pile of pig iron and stuffed it into the furnace.

The khaki flames continued to burn very rapidly.

[Material quality improved by 1%]

[Material quality improved by 50%]

[Material quality improved by 100%]

Just one Hengyu furnace can improve the quality eightfold, plus the 120% of the perfection and the 30% of the furnace baking method, that's more than a tenfold improvement.

Even if it is just pig iron, with such quality improvement, it will become a very high-grade material.

Jiang Lin put in a lot of pig iron this time, at least dozens of times more than usual.

Because he knew very well that his opponent was an eleven-feathered archer who was equivalent to the Daowu realm.

Although he has never fought against the Daowu realm, Jiang Lin, who possesses the Dao heart, understands the horror of this realm better than anyone else.

That is the energy concentrated to the extreme, an indestructible force!

Moreover, the opponent holds a real magic bow and arrow. Even if Marshal Yu borrows the Sun-Chasing Bow, it will be difficult to fight against him.

Therefore, Chaos Arrows must be strong enough.

Even if he is no match for the magic weapon, at least he can deal with it for a while.

The most important thing is that the number of magic weapons is very small. Even Daqian does not have such magic bows and magic arrows, otherwise he would not come to Jiang Lin.

It is not surprising that Xiyi has such magical weapons. After all, they are the Eleven-Feathered Archers, so it is normal for them to have some background.

But Jiang Lin believed that there would not be many such magical arrows.

As long as the Chaos Arrows are strong enough and there are enough of them, there is a chance of winning!

Of course, Jiang Lin would not create too many Chaos Arrows. He just wanted to let the emperor know that he had the ability to threaten the Dao Wu realm who wielded divine weapons, but this threat was not very big.

How to strike the right balance depends on the number of Chaos Arrows.

If the number is too large, the emperor might feel that the threat is too great and be unwilling to return the Sun-Chasing Bows. If the number is too small, it will not serve as a deterrent.

The ochre flame burned fiercely in the Hengyu furnace.

The diameter of dozens of meters makes the large pile of pig iron inside inconspicuous.

Efficient combustion allows impurities in pig iron to be removed quickly without affecting the volume.

The spiritual Hengyu furnace autonomously added the essence of heaven and earth, allowing the pig iron to be made into a quality better than that of precious weapons.

After a moment, Jiang Lin took out the red-hot pig iron, then swung the Star-Destroying Hammer and began to hammer it.

[Quality of acceptable pig iron increased by 1%]

[Hundred Refining Level +1]

[Hammering Effect +1]

Jiang Lin's hammering skills can now improve the quality by 120%, and the Star-Destroying Hammer itself has the effect of being hammered a thousand times, which means that the quality is improved by 0.3% with each hammer.

In addition, almost every two hits can increase the level of the Hundred Refining Stage. After a hundred hammerings, the quality of the pig iron has been upgraded to a mid-grade precious weapon.

Jiang Lin did not stop as usual to use fusion forging to continue to improve the quality, but continued to smash down with hammer after hammer.

As the level of refining increases, the quality of pig iron is constantly improved and its volume is slowly shrinking.

There was a large pile of pig iron, at least one meter square. Jiang Lin did not stop hammering until it was less than 10% of its size.

[Good quality pig iron]

[Hundred Refining Level +1] On the pig iron block, four branches of the magical treasure tree have been completely lit up, and are now moving towards lighting up the fifth branch.

Several hours had passed since Yu Shuai left, and Jiang Lin had struck down at least four thousand times.

Under normal circumstances, all ten weapons have been forged.

The current prompt only contains [Hundred Refining Level +1].

The reason for doing this is that in addition to increasing the level of refining to make the Chaos Arrow stronger, Jiang Lin also wants to know if there is a limit to the forging of cast iron.

No one knows the answer.

According to Yuan Bingqi's understanding of the Hundred Refining Method, there is no limit in theory, and it can be infinitely stacked with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of layers.

But Jiang Lin's forging technique is different from his. There are not so many impurities in the pig iron, and most of them have been removed by Hengyu Furnace during the firing step.

A few more hours passed and it was already getting dark.

There were two bangs outside, followed by Song Ziyan's cheers.

“Finally split it!”

It took him and Sheng Yingchun countless weapons to finally split the huge block of pig iron into two halves.

Looking at the two children who were sweating profusely but were obviously stronger and had trained their muscles, Old Man Wei said with a smile: "Not bad, go find your master and report the good news."

Jiang Lin had said before that when the pig iron is split, it will enter the next stage of improvement.

Without saying a word, Song Ziyan immediately ran towards the blacksmith's shop.

He ran and shouted, "Master! Master! We have split open!"

As a result, when he ran to the blacksmith shop, Song Ziyan's face suddenly changed and he retreated a distance in panic.

At this time, Sheng Yingchun and Old Man Wei also came over.

An extremely heavy breath rushed towards her, and Sheng Yingchun subconsciously moved her steps and stood in front of Old Man Wei.

Looking at the girl's back, Old Man Wei showed some relief on his face.

The three of them stopped about ten meters away from the blacksmith's shop, looking at the figure swinging the hammer inside, and also looking at the less than one foot of pig iron under the hammer.

It took Jiang Lin seven full hours to refine it from a one-meter square to less than a foot long and half an inch wide.

There was almost no downtime except for reheating time.

At this time, five branches of the magical treasure tree on the pig iron have been completely lit up, and the sixth one has just started.

But Jiang Lin already clearly felt something was different.

So hard!
The Star-Destroying Hammer in his hand is over a thousand times harder. Although it is only a top-grade Yuan weapon, in terms of hardness alone, ordinary top-grade holy weapons may not be able to match it.

It was this hammer, when it hit the pig iron which was only of the top-grade spiritual weapon quality, it felt almost the same hardness.

The Star-Destroying Hammer was lifted high by the recoil. Jiang Lin then stopped hammering and looked at it carefully.

I saw countless complex and densely packed lines on the pig iron.

It carries with it an unimaginable mystery, yet gives people an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

[Good quality pig iron, hardness 1035, toughness 1035]

Jiang Lin heaved a sigh of relief. After seven hours of hammering, he had hammered at least seven thousand times.

At least half of them have increased the level of refinement by a hundred, which can reach about three thousand five hundred levels.

In other words, using pig iron, without relying on any other materials, through hammering and grinding hundreds of times, he can already forge top-grade spiritual weapons.

And this is not the limit. At least this piece of pig iron does not seem to show any signs of damage at the moment.

Besides, the Hengyu furnace has a special repair effect. Even if it is really damaged, just throw it in and burn it.

However, as the grade increases, relying solely on the Hundred Refining Levels to advance becomes increasingly slower and slower, and can only increase hardness and flexibility.

Seeing Jiang Lin stop, Song Ziyan called out, "Master."

Jiang Lin turned around and saw a few people standing outside, so he put down his hammer and went over to ask, "Are you done practicing today?"

"Yes, Sister Yingchun and I split the pig iron." Song Ziyan nodded quickly, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the pig iron.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Then go back and have dinner. I will help you improve your cultivation in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Song Ziyan immediately became happy and no longer cared about the piece of pig iron.

Although the child, who is not even ten years old yet, has already achieved fifth-grade martial arts cultivation, in Song Ziyan's mind, it is far from enough.

He wanted to be able to float in the air or even fly like Jiang Lin, that would be really amazing!

"Why did it take so long to forge a piece of iron?" asked Old Man Wei in confusion.

In the past, Jiang Lin was very efficient.

"This is an arrow used to fight against divine weapons. It will take more time." Jiang Lin explained briefly.

He did not tell them about the difficulties encountered by the Northwest Frontier Army, nor did he say that their opponent this time was the eleven-feather archers equivalent to the Daowu realm.

But fighting against the divine weapon was enough to shock Old Man Wei.

He looked at Jiang Lin's resolute face, and only at this moment did he suddenly realize that the little apprentice had unknowingly grown to the point where he could forge weapons that could fight against divine weapons!

Even one of the seven marshals of the border army came here to ask him for help.

A smile appeared on Old Man Wei's face.

Jiang Lin's growth rate was beyond his expectations, and he was very happy.
