Chapter 26: The Sixteen-Year-Old Blacksmith

readx;? As for how to hammer the sixteen stripes and forge the steel into the shape he imagined, the old man couldn't teach Lan Feng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because the lines of each piece of iron, pig iron, wrought iron, and even steel are different, although the number is sixteen, the speed and shape of its movement are different, in other words, each line is unique, and when the weapon is shaped, the effect of hammering is also different, and naturally there is no fixed set of effective criteria.

Therefore, to finalize the weapon, you need to explore slowly, and with more experience, you will be able to gradually grasp one of the degrees.

However, this kind of weapon shaping method, there is almost no dependence on forging tools, as long as you have a forging hammer, you can forge any shape of weapons at will, instead of fixing the shape of the weapon through the shaping tool, and the final quality of the forged weapon is far higher than those weapons that are fixed by the shaping tool.

The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are not absent, that is, this method is difficult to master, and it needs to be gradually mastered through a lot of practice and relying on rich forging experience.

Simply, Lan Feng had already mastered the most critical breath forging method, and he could clearly sense the sixteen stripes, and the rest of the things were a little easier.

"Ding. ā€

Lan Feng, who had figured out the truth, did not hesitate for too long, and the forging hammer in his hand swung down like lightning along a line in his soul perception.

After withstanding the force of a hammer, the activity of the lines hit by it was reduced a lot, and even the speed of movement slowed down a little.

As the old man said, each stripe can only withstand Lan Feng's hammer blows at most ten times, and after ten times, it will be completely fixed and stationary.

Like a headless fly, Lan Feng didn't have any goal, holding his right hand with a forging hammer, swinging frequently.

And between swings again and again, the forging hammer quickly hammered on a striped road, and the crisp sound of "dingding" came out almost in no particular order, which made the scene in front of him present a different kind of violent beauty, the perfect combination of speed and power, wave after wave, deducing a visual feast.

"Ding!"

With the final hammer of the show, the shape of the steel block was finally completely fixed, and the sixteen stripes were also fixed in different positions of the weapon, stationary.

With a long exhalation, Lan Feng looked at the weapon he had forged, and a strange look appeared on his face: "This ......"

The old man on the side also stared at the weapon formed on the load-bearing platform, and after a while, he still couldn't hold back after all, and laughed out with a "poof": "Hahaha...... Hah!"

Where is this weapon, this is simply a shovel.

And it's also an irregularly shaped, clumsy shovel.

"What are you laughing at, haven't you seen a shovel?" Hearing the old man's unscrupulous laughter, the young man seemed to be a little annoyed and angry.

Perhaps even he didn't expect that his random hammering would forge a steel block into the shape of a shovel.

God pity him, he'd rather forge a hammer or discus or something like that than forge a shovel.

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh. Seeing that the young man had reached the limit of his madness, the old man quickly closed his mouth, but his shriveled and red face was still so bad.

Taking a deep breath, the teenager forcibly controlled his emotions and shifted his attention from the old man to the shovel.

At this time, the old man gradually calmed down and said with a smile: "Congratulations, little one, you have the ability of a blacksmith!"

After a pause, he continued, "In other words, you've made it to a blacksmith!"

Blacksmith, a profession alongside the pharmacist, a profession of high status and respect!

Although blacksmith apprentices, blacksmiths, and craftsmen are all called pseudo-alchemists, there are still hierarchical divisions, and pseudo-alchemists include one-star apprentices, two-star blacksmiths, and three-star craftsmen.

Correspondingly, the classification of alchemists has the same effect. The pseudo-alchemists before the four-star include one-star apprentices, two-star pharmacists, and three-star pharmacists, as well as real alchemists, four-star alchemists, five-star alchemy masters, and six-star alchemy masters.

The Seven-Star Craftsman Saint, who represents the highest level of the profession, is an existence at the top of the pyramid, each of which is a legend of an era, and a super old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years.

And Lan Feng, at the age of sixteen, has reached the level of a two-star blacksmith, the huge Fengzhen, only that refiner can be compared to when he is young.

Such an achievement was even more terrifying than the cultivation talent he had shown.

Hearing what the old man said, Lan Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then he was puzzled again: "Isn't it a blacksmith apprentice?"

Before, the old man said that he was not even a blacksmith apprentice, why does he now say that he has been promoted to a blacksmith?

"How can the forging skills of ordinary people be compared with the breath forging method created by the old man? Others need to start as an apprentice and advance step by step, but you are different, you who have learned the breath forging method do not need to go through the apprenticeship stage at all, once you succeed, you can be directly promoted to blacksmith. Pursed his lips and snorted coldly, a touch of pride appeared in the corner of the old man's eyes, the breath forging method was the pinnacle technique that he had been able to create with thousands of years of painstaking efforts, and it was an existence that he regarded as proud.

"So, I've really become a blacksmith?" Lan Feng was still a little incredulous.

Surprise and happiness came too quickly, and he was not ready for it.

Seeing Lan Feng's appearance, the corners of the old man's mouth curled, and he said leisurely: "If you are too fast, I can also slow down and teach you." ā€

"Don't. The young man's eyes widened, "If you dare to do this, be careful that I am in a hurry with you!"

After a pause, the old man asked, "When are you going to participate in the refiner's career assessment?"

Hearing this, Lan Feng muttered: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, the refiner's professional assessment can be done at any time, and now that the hunting experience is imminent, instead of spending time to participate in the assessment, it is better to use this time for cultivation." ā€

The assessment of the refiner's profession needs to go to the refiner's guild in the city, and only after passing the formal assessment can you obtain the refiner's professional level badge issued by the refiner's guild, and the refiner's professional level badge represents the professional level of a pseudo-refiner or refiner.

The Qingzhou continent is extremely large, and for ordinary people, they cannot cross the continent in their lifetime.

Although the Refiner Guild is one of the behemoths in the Qingzhou Continent, with an extremely rich heritage, at most, it can only spread its branches to various cities, and cannot be opened in towns, otherwise, the huge amount of funds it needs, even a behemoth like the Refiner Guild, I am afraid that it will be a little unbearable.

The closest to Fengzhen is Red Rock City, but it still takes two or three days to come and go, and if you add the time of the assessment, it will take four or five days to say the least.

For Lan Feng, who is short of time, there is really no need to waste time here.

Of course, this assessment, Lan Feng will still participate in it sooner or later, because, only after passing the formal assessment and getting the rank badge of the refiner profession can he be recognized by the people, otherwise, even if his forging ability is no less than that of any blacksmith, he will still be ignored.

More importantly, the assessment of the refiner profession can be described as a heavenly step leading to the upper echelons of the continent.

For countless people, assessment also means an opportunity, an opportunity to be valued by big forces!

"Tsk, you're only sixteen years old, aren't you? Sixteen-year-old genius blacksmith, I'm really looking forward to the scene when you take the assessment!" A look of anticipation appeared on his face, and the old man couldn't help laughing, you must know that this genius blacksmith was trained by him.

Speaking of which, he can also be regarded as half of Lan Feng's teacher.

Hearing this, Lan Feng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, although a sixteen-year-old blacksmith was extremely rare, it was not nothing, at least, he had heard of it alone, there were several.

Not to mention, the four-star refiner in Feng Town, whose status was comparable to that of the patriarchs of the three major families, was promoted to blacksmith at the age of sixteen.

"You, don't be dissatisfied, in just over a month, you will be promoted to blacksmith, if you let others know, I am afraid that you will die of jealousy. Looking at Lan Feng's indifferent appearance, the old man said slowly: "You must know, how many people have to spend their lives to be able to step into this level, compared to them, don't you think you are very lucky?"

"I guess I'm lucky. Lan Feng smiled faintly.

It is his greatest luck to have the old man by his side.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, if it is not for the existence of the old man, he is afraid that he has been eliminated by this cruel world three years ago, how can there be a scenery three years later?

After resting for a while, Lan Feng threw aside the shovel-like weapon on the load-bearing platform, and put the coarse iron ore stacked on the bluestone in the furnace, while mobilizing the vitality of the toxin dantian, running according to the route of the fire fighter, and said to the old man: "The spirit of the shovel, you devour it first, and I will forge some weapons in a while, I hope these spirits can be used for you to restore your full state." ā€

After speaking, the young man silently began a new round of forging.

Through the dappled sunlight of the verdant leaves, it was imprinted on the young man's delicate little face, and in the dark eyes, there was a faint flicker of wisdom and maturity that did not belong to this age level.

The thick transparent palm covered the shovel-like weapon, and the essence of the weapon was slowly devoured by the old man.

For a while, the courtyard was quiet, only the insects and birds chirping everywhere, mixed with the air that exuded the fragrance of the earth, adding a bit of fun.

Outside the courtyard, no one knew that in this small courtyard, a sixteen-year-old genius blacksmith was born.

Judging from past experience, if there were no accidents for a sixteen-year-old blacksmith, it was almost certain that he would become a refiner in the future.
