In the courtyard of the Wei family.

Wei Yi, who was sweating profusely just now, sat under the straw mat pergola, drinking the herbal tea that his sister made for him.

The stone was shirtless, squatting beside the blacksmith stove and pulling the bellows, helping Wei Yi burn the material.

His forehead was also covered with beads of sweat.

Wei Yi drank herbal tea while pulling out the system panel and looked at it.

Name: Wei Yi

Root Bone Qualification: Very poor

Shou Yuan: 42 years old (+35 days)

Iron Skill: Tier 2 (89% proficiency away from leveling)

Cooking Skill: Tier 3 (95% proficiency away from leveling)

Writing Skill: Tier 2 (24% proficiency away from leveling)

Drawing Skill: Tier 1 (19% proficiency away from leveling)

Engraving Skill: Tier 1 (99% proficiency away from leveling)

Engraving skills have also begun to improve.

Because not long ago, Wei Yi used a piece of red iron to carve out his own "Wei" name seal.

In the process, proficiency in engraving is also acquired.

Although his carving skill is a food carving skill obtained when his cooking skill is upgraded to the third level.

But in fact, it doesn't matter if it's carved from food, wood, stone, or iron.

The general principle is almost the same, all in one.

It's just that the tools used and the method used when engraving will be different.

Wei Yi first used a hammer and chisel to carve out the general outline of the Wei character on the burned iron.

Then, through sanding and shoveling, the final engraving is completed, so that the font becomes clear and flat.

After repeated heat treatment, it becomes an extremely hard steel stamp.

This steel seal is similar to the Wang Zhu seal issued to him by the Sword Casting Division.

They are all used to engrave relevant marks on the body of the forged sword as a mark.

Now the Wei character steel seal has been made.

Wei Yi then prepared to forge the first sword with the seal of Wang Zhu and the mark of the character of Wei.

After a long time, the stone finally burned the iron, and used an iron clamp to help Wei Yi put the iron on the anvil.

Wei Yi got up again, put on his protective skirt, put on his gloves, took the iron clip, picked up the hammer, and began to strike iron.

The sound of clanging bells echoed again.

Now every time Wei Yi hammers the iron, he has obtained more than two hundred proficiencys.

The process of heat treatment also increases the level of proficiency.

However, the total number of proficiency required to advance to the next level is also very large.

So the overall improvement speed has been significantly slower.

However, Wei Yi was not in a hurry, after all, compared to other blacksmiths and swordsmiths.

The speed of his own improvement is already very terrifying.

In the shop in front of the courtyard, Wei Xue had just sent away the farmers who had come to buy ironware.

I saw Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin, who walked in with a smile on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Zhang Xingye said with a smile.

"Steward Zhang, Steward Wang, why are you here?"

"We're here to congratulate my sister-in-law!" Wang Shouyin hurriedly said, his face was full of flattery.

"The virtuous nephew is worthy of being cultivated by the Tieshan brothers, and sure enough, the blue is better than the blue, and now he has become a Jiupin swordsmith, and he will be amazing in the future.

After learning the news today, I have been busy making swordsmith pennants for my nephew, and I just took time out to come over with Lao Zhang to say hello to you! ”

"Yes, congratulations to my sister-in-law!"

"The two stewards are so polite!" Wei Xue said with a smile, but there was a sense of arrogance in his heart.

Thinking about the two people who came to collect debts not long ago, Wang Shouyin's face.

Compared with the current appearance, I really have to sigh, this person changes his face really quickly.

"Sister-in-law, is the virtuous nephew here?" Zhang Xingye asked.

"Striking iron in the courtyard, you're here to find him, right?" Wei Xue said.

"Oh, that's right, we're here to give a deposit to the virtuous nephew!" Wang Shouyin said.

Wei Xue nodded: "Please come inside!" ”

The two of them bowed their hands slightly, and then walked into the courtyard from the back door of the store.

But seeing Wei Yi, who was concentrating on striking iron, the two trotted all the way to Wei Yi.

The smile on his face is bright, as if the flowers have seen the sun.

Seeing the appearance of Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin, Wei Yi stopped his movements in surprise, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Nephew, excuse me!" Zhang Xingye arched his hand with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, nephew!" Wang Shouyin also hurriedly said.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Wei Yi understood their intentions in his heart, but said, "It's only been a few days, why are you here to ask for accounts again?" ”

"No, no, no, the virtuous nephew laughed, we are not here to ask for money, we are here to send money to the virtuous nephew!" Wang Shouyin had a slick smiling face.

"Oh, it's a deposit, isn't it?" Wei Yi nodded and said.

When he talked about cooperation with Du Yujiang before, Du Yujiang promised to pay him a deposit.

"Yes, yes, this is two hundred taels of silver tickets, please take it." Wang Shouyin handed the silver ticket to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi took the silver ticket and looked at it, nodded, and then looked at Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin and said, "The money that the second uncle owes you, I will return it as scheduled." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I naturally believe in the virtuous nephew, that ...... Nephew, you continue to be busy, I won't bother you, I will leave first! Wang Shouyin sneered.

He knew that Wei Yi must be angry in his heart, after all, what he did that day was indeed not authentic enough.

It is naturally impossible for Wei Yi to eliminate the connectivity in his heart at once.

"Walk slowly, don't send it far!" Wei Yi arched his hand.

Wang Shouyin and Zhang Xingye also clenched their fists at the same time, and then walked into the store again.

Watching the two leave, Wei Yi put away the silver ticket and continued to start striking iron.

……

In Liu's house, Liu An reported the news he heard to Liu Fugui.

"In other words, it is not the Wei family that invites the prefect, but Du Yujiang?"

"That's right, Du Yujiang is also because Jianfeng Tower poached all the Nine Rank Sword Forgers they cooperated with, so he can only do his best to help Wei Yi to win him." Liu An continued.

"I'll just say, how could the Wei family invite the prefect, but I really didn't expect that this Wei Tieshan's nephew would become a swordsmith." Liu Fugui narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Hmph, if Wei Yi dies, the relationship between Du Yujiang and the Wei family will naturally not exist, and without Du Yujiang's help, Lord Li's side will no longer participate in this matter."

"Sir, are you going to ...... Get rid of Wei Yi? Liu An lowered his voice.

"That's right, you go to the Black Wind Cottage and invite their people over. As long as Wei Yi is eliminated, money is not an issue. But make sure they do it cleanly, so they don't leave any traces.

Now that Wei Yi has become a swordsmith, his identity is different, he was killed, and the swordsmith will definitely ask the yamen to investigate thoroughly, so we must be hidden enough to definitely not show the slightest bit of horse's feet. ”

"By the way, it's best for them to blame Jianfeng Lou for this matter, the two are fighting so fiercely now, the county government will definitely suspect that Jianfeng Lou has a motive to kill." Liu Fugui suddenly said again.

"Yes, don't worry, the little one understands, and the little one must do things seamlessly." Liu An arched his hand and said.
