Chapter 5 Basic Apprenticeship
After reporting to the manufacturing department early, Zhang Lao checked Duan Tian's body, and he also greatly appreciated Duan Tian's ability to cultivate his vitality so quickly. After teaching a lot of things again, Duan Tian began to learn the basics of refining weapons like the other apprentices.
Apprentices, also known as basic apprentices, have one year of training, and if they perform well, they can be promoted to senior apprentices, otherwise they will be eliminated.
Since then, Duan Tian and other new apprentices have begun their learning careers in the manufacturing department.
Naturally, Duan Tian would not tell anyone about the matter of refining the heart and purifying the heart.
Tie Xing is very attentive to these apprentices, the learning tasks are only arranged in an orderly manner, and the teachers are also extremely responsible, and the explanations are very careful.
These apprentices are all close to the family, so they naturally have to be cultivated well, Duan Tian took advantage of it, of course, if it wasn't for Zhang Lao's recommendation, he wouldn't have this opportunity at all.
Duan Tian also deeply remembered Zhang Lao's kindness.
Duan Tian got up early every day to exercise and polish his will.
Since cultivating the Yuan Qi, especially after refining the Hundred Heart Purification Techniques, Duan Tian has slept more peacefully and recovered his spirit faster.
In the morning, we will study the "Mining Codex", which is the basic book compiled by the Duan Family Iron Company, which is not circulated externally and is only used by internal students.
The "Mining Codex" tells about the origin, appearance, function, characteristics and how to purify hundreds of metal minerals and stone minerals used in refining tools, as well as the origin, appearance, and function of some special materials, etc., with detailed content.
There are many materials used for refining tools, and there are also some materials for auxiliary refining, which basically covers the materials of metal tools that can be built at the stage of the master of iron, and it is the most important book for basic apprentices to master.
Generally speaking, achieving the level of an iron master can also make the whole family live a good life. The monthly income can reach thousands of taels to ten thousand taels of silver.
Mr. Zhang is a master of a higher level than the master, and his monthly income can reach tens of thousands of taels.
In the afternoon, I learned the use of various tools, including the basic use techniques and main control skills of sledgehammers, hammers, pickaxes, drills, and pliers, as well as the skills of bellows fire control and temperature control.
These things are real water mill techniques that need to be practiced, and they must be studied and practiced carefully to be proficient.
In the evening, the study of cultural knowledge was also arranged, and although the purpose of the education of the cultural class was not to be a writer, it was at least to make people feel that the master of the iron line was definitely not a big man. Moreover, the higher the cultural quality, it is also helpful for refining tools.
The contact of these things made Duan Tian fascinated, and now he knows that it is absolutely right to choose this line, as the saying goes, "men are afraid of choosing the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man".
Duan Tian definitely doesn't regret it now, because he has too many feelings for this industry, and he sometimes feels that he was born for refining weapons.
When you get all kinds of tools, you can quickly grasp the characteristics of the tools, so many minerals, many of them are similar in appearance and color, and in Duan Tian's eyes, they also have their own characteristics and are very different.
Duan Tian even felt that it was too late for him to come to study now, a genius like him should be able to learn this knowledge at the age of three.
Of course, in addition to the study of the basic knowledge of refining weapons, Duan Tian's Yuan Qi cultivation has not fallen behind, and has been steadily consolidating.
The vitality became more and more condensed, and Duan Tian's body became stronger and stronger. Refining tools is a work of strength, and under the daily training of Tie Xing, Duan Tian's body grew extremely fast and developed very well.
Although he is often burned by iron slag and iron filings during the practice, Tie Xing has some plasters, which not only remove the pain after wiping, but also leave no scars, which is really a necessary medicine for refining and learning.
The food here is good, the living environment is good, and he can learn so many things he likes, for Duan Tian, it is definitely a paradise place, and this experience is his happiest memory so far.
Of course, Bai Lian Qingxin was not idle, and gradually opened the first eight acupoints, and began to impact the four newly opened acupoints that were the most critical.
In my spare time, I will also go to see my father-in-law Duan Dezhi, and the distance is not far. Zhu Li usually takes care of him Duan Dezhi, and Duan Dezhi's greatest wish is that Duan Tian can learn real skills.
Zhang Lao doesn't care much about their most basic apprentices on weekdays, Zhang Lao is mainly responsible for training senior apprentices, but occasionally he also comes to guide these rookies.
As soon as he came, his voice was like thunder, and he couldn't see clumsy people, and sometimes even the teachers scolded, which made these teachers very embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say much, only smiled bitterly.
Sometimes seeing Duan Tian's performance far surpassing everyone else, although Zhang Lao did not praise him face-to-face, he secretly gave Duan Tian an encouraging look, which made Duan Tian feel that not disappointing Zhang Lao was the biggest motivation.
Although Duan Tian was from a humble background and was often looked down upon, it was all because he was poor, and Duan Tian was extremely proud of himself in his bones.
Being valued so much by Zhang Lao to study in the iron line, if such a good learning condition is not good at studying and cannot meet the requirements and is scolded by Zhang Lao, it is simply intolerable for Duan Tian.
Therefore, Duan Tian's study is more serious than anyone else, harder than anyone else, he is the last person at the end of every training, and he is also the first to get up in the morning, all the teachers are full of praise for Duan Tian, and often use him as a role model for these young apprentices.
Those children basically have good family conditions, they have not experienced such a difficult life as Duan Tian, and they do not particularly cherish the life in front of them, how can Duan Tian be so willing to endure hardships.
But Duan Tian will never be complacent and complacent because he has performed better than ordinary people, after all, he is a human being in two lives, and the pressure he has suffered so much in this life can be imagined.
How painful is it to be forcibly sucked out of sperm and blood?
In order to achieve the wish of revenge in this life, it takes a lot more effort than ordinary people to have some hope.
Under these pressures, Duan Tian cultivated harder, studied more seriously, practiced more diligently, and his basic level was also improving rapidly day by day.
It's just a pity that some people just don't let you live in peace, Duan Tian is in the basic apprentice stage, knocking a lot of ore every day, learning iron-striking skills, in exchange for about three or four hundred taels of silver, at least most of which were exploited by Song Lan.
Duan Tian didn't even have enough money to buy herbs for cultivation, let alone take those blood foods that were rich in vitality.
There are countless beasts in this realm, and the one that is more powerful than the beast is the fierce beast, and the vitality contained in the beast's body is of great help to cultivators. It is said that there are more powerful demon beasts above the fierce beasts, but the level of demon beasts is obviously not something that Duan Tian can touch.
When Duan Tian first took the Blood Eating Beast Green Wolf Meat, he felt great benefits.
The rolling vitality emerged from the green wolf meat, straight through the limbs and eight bones of the whole body, making Duan Tian feel extremely comfortable, with the help of the auxiliary effect of the green wolf meat, the progress of cultivation was accelerated by at least thirty percent.
A junior cultivator like Duan Tian had a great demand for fierce beast meat, but fierce beast meat was very valuable, and Duan Tian had to eat ten taels of silver for a meal.
If he didn't hand over Song Lan, Duan Tian's monthly income would barely be enough for him to eat blood food every day, but after handing it over to Song Lan, Duan Tian would only be able to eat a few meals of fierce beast meat every month.
Although with the improvement of Duan Tian's refining level, his income gradually increased, but Song Lan became more and more insatiable. Now Duan Tian's monthly silver taels have risen to five hundred taels.
If Duan Tian dared not to hand it over, Song Lan would torture Duan Dezhi. Duan Tian was also helpless, not to mention that even if he was himself, he was far from being Song Lan's opponent. resisted slightly, but was beaten violently by Song Lan.
Song Lan relied on the exploitation of these miscellaneous servants and low-level apprentices, and received at least thousands of taels of silver every month, and his cultivation was always in front of Duan Tian.
Although Song Lan didn't dare to offend Zhang Lao openly, she didn't care much about Zhang Lao. Duan Tian also knew that Zhang Lao was an outsider after all, and in terms of real influence, he was far from being able to compare with a child of the Song family like Song Lan.
Moreover, Zhang Lao took such good care of himself, Duan Tian really didn't dare to trouble Zhang Lao again.
I'll take care of my own business.
Song Lan, you wait, it will never make you feel better.
