I use deputy job plus talent.

Chapter 4 Eleven Refinements

Breaking through from a mortal-level low-level blacksmith to a mortal-level intermediate blacksmith, the most critical sign is whether you can forge steel with more than ten refinements. As long as you can break through ten refinements, it means you have stepped into the ranks of ordinary-level intermediate blacksmiths, referred to as medium Blacksmith, or an intermediate blacksmith.

The iron blocks in this world are very different from the earth. Although they are both iron blocks, the iron blocks here are tougher and sharper.

Therefore, the steel made by hammering the iron blocks of this world is naturally better, but it is more difficult.

In addition, there is no machinery, so it can only be processed by hand, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Forging steel requires not only skill and experience, but also sufficient physical strength.

Song Fulu was able to forge ten steelmaking a few years ago, but he was unable to make a breakthrough and forge a higher level of steel.

Now, with the breakthrough of supporting talents, various insights came to his mind, and Song Fulu was more than [-]% sure of his promotion.

"Dangdang...dangdang..."

Song Fulu tempered the steel knife blank rhythmically. The knife blank was made of Ten Steel Refined, and it was also made by the original owner before. It only needs a little more processing, and it will be a good Ten Steel Refined Yanling Saber.

If it is built from scratch, it will take too long. It is better to start directly from ten steelmaking and try to break through.

From tenth steelmaking to eleventh steelmaking is a hurdle. I don't know how many rural blacksmiths have been trapped. Song Baoshi has been trapped for decades.

To make a breakthrough, experience, skills, physical strength, understanding... all of them are indispensable. If not, a mid-level blacksmith would be so popular, even in a county with a large population, he would be able to gain a firm foothold.

Soon Song Fulu found the aura of talent breakthrough again. The speed of beating the knife embryo was slightly faster, but it became more rhythmic and his voice was moving.

Song Baoshi, who was picking up the iron ore, was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his old face. He didn't care about picking up the iron ore, and hurried to Song Fulu to watch.

After only watching for a moment, Song Baoshi realized something, his old eyes widened, he stared at Song Fulu's movements without blinking, thinking that he was dreaming.

Could it be that in my lifetime, can I still train an intermediate blacksmith?

That is an intermediate-level blacksmith who can be invincible in ten miles and eight villages. Looking at the entire Shilin Town, within a radius of a hundred miles, there is not a single blacksmith who can step into the intermediate level.

Only in Liaohe City, more than 100 miles away, there are intermediate blacksmiths, and there are not many of them.

Thinking of this, Song Baoshi's eyes were slightly moist. Although he thought that his adopted son would be able to step into the level of an intermediate blacksmith in his lifetime, who knows how long it will take, maybe he won't see it in his lifetime.

But he never expected that the surprise would come so quickly, and there were still a few years before the end of life, so he saw this day.

"Dangdang...dangdang...dang...dangdang..."

The sound of hammering the blade became more and more rhythmic, and the movements became faster and faster. Song Baoshi had already discovered that Song Fulu's blacksmithing skills and experience had already surpassed him, and was closing the gap with him at an extremely fast speed.

Is this the strength of an intermediate blacksmith?
Song Baoshi took a deep breath, his complexion became more solemn, and his mood became excited.

"Boom..."

I don't know how long it has passed, and with a strange sound, the knife embryo in front of me broke through the level of ten refining, and was promoted to eleven steel refining.

Breakthrough, intermediate blacksmith!

Song Fulu smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and began to refine the knife embryo again. He wanted to see his limit.

There was also a smile on Song Baoshi's face, and he couldn't hide his excitement and relief. His long-cherished wish for many years was finally realized in his adopted son. Even if he died today, he would have no regrets.

"Grandpa Bao, I want to build one..."

At this time, a teenage boy walked into the blacksmith shop, wanting Song Baoshi to make him a Yanling Saber.

Song Baoshi quickly stopped him, telling him not to say anything, so as not to affect Song Fulu's promotion.

The young man looked at Song Baoshi and Song Fulu suspiciously, not understanding what was going on, but he didn't ask any further questions. He stood aside and waited obediently, and followed Song Baoshi to watch Song Fulu hammer the knife embryo.

Looking at it, the young man seemed to see something, almost exclaimed, and quickly covered his mouth.

There are obvious stripes on the steelmaking in this world, and it is easy to distinguish the number of steelmaking. The young man can see that Song Fulu hammered the eleven steelmaking through the stripes on the knife blank.

This is the mark of an intermediate blacksmith, and many villagers know it. After all, many villagers have a ten-steel refining knife.

Realizing that Song Fulu should break through to the level of an intermediate blacksmith, the boy was also very pleasantly surprised, and only then did he understand why Grandpa Bao stopped him from making a sound.

Overjoyed, the young man quietly exited the blacksmith shop, and only after walking far away did he quicken his pace and ran towards the village chief Lu Wenshan's house.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Fulu has made a breakthrough. He is no longer a low-level blacksmith."

As soon as he rushed to the door, the boy couldn't help shouting at Lu Wenshan who was punching in the yard.

Lu Wenshan is the head of Shiniu Village, and also the number one master in Shiniu Village. At only 37 years old, he is already a third-rate master at the fourth level of external forging. Even in the entire Shilin Town, he has a certain reputation.

Hearing the boy's words, Lu Wenshan was shocked, and looked at the boy: "What you said is true, Xiaofu has really broken through and become an intermediate blacksmith?"

"Really, I've seen Brother Fulu forging eleven steels. That's the mark of an intermediate blacksmith. If you don't believe me, the village head grandpa will know it." The boy hurriedly said.

Lu Wenshan put away his fists and strode towards the blacksmith shop: "I'll go right away."

Soon came to the blacksmith's shop, at this time Song Fulu had stopped beating the knife embryo, and the knife embryo at this moment had already reached the fifteenth refinement.

To be able to create Fifteen Steelmaking just after breaking through, such talent and strength is already very good.

Although it is only five more refinements than before, whether it is toughness or sharpness, at least it has more than doubled. If all villagers can equip this kind of Yanling Saber, the overall strength of Shiniu Village will increase dramatically. There are more chances of survival in this troubled world.

Looking at the fifteen refining knife embryos placed in front of Song Fulu, Lu Wenshan finally believed it, and was very excited in his heart: "Well, well, Xiaofu is doing well, with your intermediate mortal weapon, our Stone Niu Village can be safe again. a lot of."

Song Baoshi and Song Fulu didn't realize that the village chief had arrived at this time, and quickly asked him to sit down, while Song Fulu began the final finishing touches, preparing to forge the [-]th steel-making knife to see how it worked.

If the power is also qualified after the test, Song Fulu will not be too short of food in the future.
