I turned daily skills into supernatural powers

Chapter 20 Killing the Heart 【For further reading】

In the courtyard of the Wei family.

Wei Yi, who was sweating profusely from work just now, was sitting under the straw mat awning, drinking the herbal tea made by his sister.

Shi Shi, with his upper body bare, squatted next to the blacksmith's stove, pulling the bellows, and helping Wei Yi burn the materials.

There were also beads of sweat on his forehead.

While drinking herbal tea, Wei Yi took out the system panel and looked at it.

Name: Wei Yi

Root qualification: very poor

Shouyuan: 42 years old (+35 days)
Blacksmithing skill: Level 89 ([-]% less proficiency to level up)
Cooking skills: Tier 95 ([-]% proficiency is still short of upgrade)
Writing skills: Level 24 ([-]% less proficiency from leveling up)
Painting skills: Level 19 ([-]% less proficiency from leveling up)
Sculpting skills: Level 99 ([-]% proficiency is still short of leveling up)
Sculpting skills have also begun to improve now.

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

In this process, proficiency in engraving is also gained.

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

But in fact, no matter whether it is carved with ingredients, or with wood, stone, or iron.

The general principles are similar, and they can be used for everything.

Only the sculpting tools used and the method of sculpting will be different.

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

Then through grinding 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 seal.

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

They are all on the body of the forged sword, used to engrave relevant imprints as logos.

Now the Wei character steel seal has been made.

Next, Wei Yi plans to forge the first sword with the seal of Wangzhu and the seal of Wei character.

After a long time, Shi Shi finally burned the iron material, and helped Wei Yi put the iron material on the anvil with iron tongs.

Wei Yi got up again, put on his skirt and gloves, took the iron clamp, picked up the hammer, and started to forge.

The sound of clanging irons echoed again.

Now every time Wei Yi beats the iron material, he gains more than 200 proficiency.

The heat treatment process will also continue to increase proficiency.

But to advance to the next level, the total number of proficiencies required is also very large.

Therefore, the overall improvement speed is significantly slower.

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

His own improvement speed is already terrifying.

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

Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin walked in with smiles on their faces.

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

"Guard Zhang, Guanshi Wang, why are you here?"

"We're here to congratulate sister-in-law!" Wang Shouyin said quickly, with flattery written all over his face.

"Nephew Xian deserves to be cultivated by Tieshan Brothers. It is true that Qing is better than Lan, and now he has become a ninth-rank swordsmith. It will be great in the future.

After learning the news today, I have been busy making a swordsmith banner for my nephew, and I just found time with Lao Zhang to come over to congratulate you! "

"Yes, congratulations sister-in-law!"

"The two stewards are too polite!" Wei Xue said with a smile, but she felt a sense of elation in her heart.

Thinking of Wang Shouyin's face when these two people came to collect debts not long ago.

Comparing with the current appearance, I really have to sigh, this person changed his face really fast.

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

"He's blacksmithing in the yard, are you here to look for him?" Wei Xue said.

"Oh, that's right, we're here to send a deposit to my nephew!" Wang Shouyin said.

Wei Xueshi nodded: "Please come inside!"

The two cupped their hands slightly, and immediately walked into the courtyard through the back door of the shop.

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

The smile on the face is bright, as if the flower sees the sun.

Seeing the appearance of Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin, Wei Yi stopped what he was doing in surprise, and frowned slightly.

"Nephew, excuse me!" Zhang Xingye cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

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

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 again to ask for a bill?"

"No, no, my nephew was joking, we didn't come to ask for money, we came to give money to my nephew!" Wang Shouyin put on a greasy smile.

"Oh, send a deposit, right?" Wei Yi nodded and said.

When discussing cooperation with Du Yujiang before, Du Yujiang promised to pay him a deposit.

"Yes, yes, this is a silver note of 200 taels. My nephew, please keep it safe." Wang Shouyin handed the silver note to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi took the banknote and looked at it, nodded, then looked at Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin and said, "I will pay back the money that Second Uncle owes you as scheduled."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I naturally believe in my nephew, that... you, nephew, keep busy, and the two of us won't bother you, let's say goodbye!" Wang Shouyin laughed.

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

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

"Go slowly, I won't see you off!" Wei Yi cupped his hands.

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

Watching the two leave, Wei Yi put away the banknotes and continued to forge.

……

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

"That is to say, it is not the Wei family that invited the magistrate, but Du Yujiang?"

"That's right, Du Yujiang also poached all the ninth-rank swordsmiths they worked with in Jianfeng Building, so he could only do his best to help Wei Yi and win him." Liu An continued.

"I just said, how could the Wei family invite the magistrate, but I never expected that Wei Tieshan's nephew would become a swordsmith." Liu Fugui squinted his eyes, with a glint of coldness in his eyes.

"Hmph, if Wei Yi dies, the relationship between Du Yujiang and the Wei family will naturally cease to exist. Without Du Yujiang's help, Master Li will not be involved in this matter anymore."

"Master, do you want...to get rid of Wei Yi?" Liu An lowered his voice.

"That's right, you go to Heifeng Village and invite their people over. As long as Wei Yi gets rid of, money is not a problem. But remember to let them do it cleanly and don't leave any traces.

Now that Wei Yi has become a swordsmith, his identity is different. If he was killed, the Swordsmith will definitely ask the Yamen to investigate thoroughly, so we have to be concealed enough, and we must not show any lies. "

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

"Yes, master, don't worry, I understand that I will handle everything seamlessly." Liu An cupped his hands and said.
