Legend of Douluo: Qingyun
Chapter 53: "Iron" Smithy
Long!
The barrier at level 34 was finally broken, and Yuan Wentian opened his eyes happily.
Ever since he knew Xiao Wu's identity, he had been anxious to improve his strength as soon as possible.
But even though he practiced hard day and night during this period, his strength did not improve much.
The reason is that he is too eager for quick success.
Haste makes waste, whether it is Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao or Brahma Prajna, they all value step by step and being down-to-earth. However, his greed for success and rash progress some time ago, especially with a utilitarian mentality, is extremely undesirable. This is what he has been doing for a long time. The reason for the stagnation of cultivation.
His father also always advised him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity on the path of spiritual practice.However, as his cultivation level improved, he seemed to be less patient and more impatient; less calm and more blind; less down-to-earth and more eager for success.
……
Soto City is still so prosperous. It is already afternoon, and the bustling crowd is completely different from the tranquility of Shrek Academy.
Yuan Wentian walked straight to the largest blacksmith shop in Soto City, which was the home of Tie Long and Tie Hu.
Ten years ago, Tielong and Tiehu's blacksmith shop continued to suffer losses due to improper management, so Tielong and Tiehu enrolled in school as work-study students.
After Tie Long and Tie Hu obtained their first soul rings a few years ago, they would help take care of some of the family's business after studying. With the assistance of ancestral craftsmanship and soul power, the quality of the ironware produced by the blacksmith shop far exceeded that of other peers. , not only quickly recovered, it even became the largest blacksmith shop in Soto City.
The name of this blacksmith shop is very simple, just called Blacksmith Shop, without any decorative words.But Yuan Wentian knew that the name of this store should actually be called "Iron" Smithy.
I have to say that Tielong Tiehu’s father is really a genius at naming names!
Before entering the blacksmith's shop, you can already hear the dense knocking sound, the sound is dense and crisp.Apparently there are many blacksmiths at work.
Various finished products are placed according to categories in the spacious reception room.It is divided into three major areas.They are daily utensils, weapons, and armor.
Among them, daily utensils occupy about half of the store, and the remainder is weapons and armor.
In the center of the front hall of the store and the workshop at the back, there is a long black curtain separating it. Every three meters on the curtain, there is a white iron character with a diameter of one meter, which looks very impressive.
There are six or seven waiters in the store's living room who are responsible for receiving guests. They welcome and deliver guests, and the division of labor is very clear.Some are responsible for receiving customers and taking over business, while others are responsible for handing over finished products to customers.There is also a burly middle-aged man sitting behind the counter who is responsible for collecting money. It is Tie Long and Tie Hu's father, Tie Xin.
Yuan Wentian walked into the store and went straight to the counter.
Tie Xin at the counter quickly saw Yuan Wentian, greeted him with a smile, and said, "It turns out to be Xiao Tian, long time no see."
Yuan Wentian had been invited to their homes by Tie Long and Tie Hu several times before, so Tie Xin naturally knew Yuan Wentian.
Yuan Wentian chuckled and said, "Uncle Tie, long time no see. You seem to be getting more and more energetic."
Tie Xin smiled and said: "Hahaha, you are getting better and better at talking. Come in quickly!"
Tie Xin led Yuan Wentian to a room behind the workshop.There was a table, seven or eight chairs, and a simple wooden bed in the room, which was obviously Tie Xin's office.It can also be used for rest at ordinary times.You can directly see the workroom outside from the window.
Tie Xin walked directly to his desk and sat down, and at the same time gestured to Yuan Wentian to sit down.
"I heard from my two bastards that you did not go to Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy to attend classes, but went to an inconspicuous academy."
Yuan Wentian smiled and said: "It is indeed an inconspicuous small college, but the teachers there are all powerful soul masters, which can make it easier for me to obtain high-level soul rings, and I also like the free and easy school spirit there. like."
Although Shrek Academy is full of advantages, it still needs to be given some face in front of outsiders.
"Is that so? By the way, Xiaotian, does your academy still accept students? If my two useless sons can go to your academy, I think their strength will definitely increase faster." Tie Xin asked.
Half a year ago, Tie Xin heard that Yuan Wentian had obtained the third soul ring. Although he was not very talented, he was only in his twenties now. He was a great soul master who could never break through level 11, but he still had good vision. , he may not be sure what an [-]-year-old Soul Lord represents, but even if he has no vision, he can still see that Yuan Wentian's future will be limitless.
So he naturally hopes that his two sons can have more contact with Yuan Wentian.
Yuan Wentian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. The academy has strict requirements and only accepts students under the age of 12. Brother Long and Brother Hu are already older."
"That's a pity." Tie Xin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and then said: "You kid always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. What's the reason for you to come to your Uncle Tie this time?"
Yuan Wentian reached out and took out a blueprint from Liuyun Bag and handed it to Tie Xin: "I want to ask Uncle Tie to help me build a copper furnace like this!"
That was the blueprint of the alchemy furnace drawn by Yuan Wentian based on the information recorded in Zeng Shushu's "Alchemy Experience". Now he already has two stable financial incomes, the monthly subsidy and the big soul fighting arena, and there will be no major changes in the near future. It would cost a lot of money, so he planned to get into the side business of alchemy.
And if he wanted to make alchemy, he had to get an alchemy furnace first.
You must know that not just any ordinary stove can be called an "alchemy stove"!For alchemists, the texture, materials, and specifications of every inch of the alchemy furnace used for alchemy have some rigid requirements. It is impossible for non-professional casting personnel to build it!
The quality of items made by blacksmiths with soul power is much better than that of ordinary blacksmiths. The symmetry of power and control of power during crafting are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, Yuan Wentian first thought of Tielong Tiehu's blacksmith shop.
Tie Xin took the drawing and looked at it for a while, his face suddenly filled with surprise.
"Xiaotian, what is this copper stove used for?"
"Alchemy!"
Yuan Wentian simply answered with two words.
"You still know how to refine medicine?" Tie Xin looked like he had seen a ghost. Even if he was promoted to Soul Master before he was 12 years old, he actually knew how to refine medicine. Would this allow ordinary people like them to live?
Yuan Wentian said modestly: "I know a little bit!"
Tie Xin breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The cost of building this copper furnace is not cheap. It needs to be cast with extremely high-density copper essence and a variety of rare metals. You should also know that copper essence is extremely tough, so it is naturally difficult to build it. A lot. To use it to make any item, the processing fee is the same as the price of the iron essence itself. In other words, if you use one kilogram of copper essence to make anything, we have to charge a processing fee of ten gold soul coins. And you The casting process of the copper furnace is so complicated that it even costs 50.00% more.
The material cost cannot be reduced, and I can’t lose money.I can give you a [-]% discount on the processing fee, but even so, the total sum is still no less than [-] gold soul coins! "
Yuan Wen Tian Anan was speechless, five hundred gold soul coins?
That is almost equivalent to all the remaining wealth he has now. No wonder the book says that the alchemy industry is particularly expensive. The cost of just casting an alchemy furnace is already so high!
"Uncle Tie, the price you mentioned is fine, but..." Yuan Wentian looked at Tie Xin and said sternly: "However, I still have something to ask for."
Tie Xin patted his chest and said, "If you have any requests, just say it. As long as you, Uncle Tie, and I can do it, I will definitely try my best!"
"I want to learn blacksmithing skills, and I would like to ask Uncle Tie to teach me." Yuan Wentian said sincerely.
Tie Xin was slightly startled and said: "Xiaotian, why are you studying this? Blacksmithing is one of the lowest professions. You can obviously have a bright future, so why do you waste your time on such a thing?"
There was a bit of blame in Tie Xin's tone. After all, Yuan Wentian was one of the few friends of his two sons. Not only was he highly talented, but he was also very humble and polite. Tie Xin also liked this child very much.
As soon as I heard that this kid wanted to "not do his job properly", he immediately became angry.
Yuan Wentian waved his hand and said in a serious tone: "Uncle Tie, don't be angry yet. This is because the self-created soul skills passed down from my family need to be coordinated with some special weapons to achieve the greatest effect, and these weapons It’s a consumable item again, and I’m embarrassed to bother you all the time, so I just want to learn some forging skills myself so that I can support myself.”
A clear smile appeared on Tie Xin's face, and he said: "So that's it, you should have told me earlier! I will let the two boys Tie Long and Tie Hu take the main responsibility for your copper furnace. The quality must be no problem. These two boys are I teach you, and my skills are the best in the shop. As for casting technology, you can come over and learn from me at any time when you are free. Today, I will teach you some basic skills first!"
Yuan Wentian was overjoyed, "Thank you, Uncle Tie!"
Naturally, he learned the basic skills of forging to prepare for weapon refining. Although the method of refining weapons is different from conventional casting, the basic skills are the same. If you want to learn to forge weapons, you must first have solid basic skills.
"You're welcome, it's just some basic blacksmithing skills. You can learn from any blacksmith, and they won't refuse. Come, come in with me..."
At that moment, he led Yuan Wentian towards the back.
After passing through the isolation tent, Yuan Wentian saw a surprising scene.The reception room in front of the blacksmith shop is already very large, but the workshop at the back is even bigger. As far as the eye can see, it is filled with red fires.At least more than fifty blacksmiths were working at the same time.
Although not all the blacksmiths here are that strong, their eyes and techniques are extremely calm. They are obviously experienced and senior blacksmiths.
After all, to be able to support such a large blacksmith shop, there must be so many excellent blacksmiths.
The barrier at level 34 was finally broken, and Yuan Wentian opened his eyes happily.
Ever since he knew Xiao Wu's identity, he had been anxious to improve his strength as soon as possible.
But even though he practiced hard day and night during this period, his strength did not improve much.
