Longevity Martial Arts: Beginning with Sword Drawing

Chapter 57 Ready to open the furnace, enter the black market at night!

"I'm very sorry, the hall is full of apprentices, and we don't need manpower for the time being."

Dr. Yang Xing's tone was very kind, although it was a refusal, it didn't hurt anyone.

Lin Bei sighed, and had no choice but to cup his fists and salute: "Then come back sometime, junior."

He knew that Dr. Yang Xing was not lying, because there was no need for it.

The work in the medical center is more attractive than blacksmithing, even if it is just an apprentice doing odd jobs, it is more decent than ordinary work.

If you can learn some medical skills, you can live a good life as a local doctor at the worst in the future.

Moreover, compared to blacksmithing, it is not so tiring.

This kind of work, even in normal times, there are a large group of people trying to get in.

Lin Bei was a little reconciled, and visited two other medical clinics, but they all returned in vain.

The reputation of these two clinics is not as good as that of Yang's Clinic combined, and the level of doctors is not as good as that of Yang Xing. The business is so-so, neither good nor bad. If it weren't for the extreme profits in this industry, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to keep going.

In one of them, nine apprentices have been taken in. Besides going to the clinic every day, they also have to teach nine disciples. They are so busy that they are out of breath, and there is no time to recruit new disciples.

The other family still recruited disciples, but they asked Lin Bei for 500 taels of apprenticeship fees as soon as they opened their mouths.

Lin Bei shook his head helplessly, and left from the two clinics.

The apprentices of these two medical centers are also full, and they can't squeeze in at all.

As for paying 500 taels of silver as an apprenticeship ceremony?

Lin Bei didn't waste so much money!

"Forget it, I will visit Yang's Medical Center again in a few days."

Lin Bei plans to try visiting the thatched cottage three times.

You don't necessarily need to be a teacher, you can be an apprentice and handyman.

……

"Finally, the 5th level of forging skills has been perfected!"

Lin Bei put down the hammer and looked happy.

[Skill: Blacksmithing (5th stage of perfection 1%)]

After half a month, Lin Bei's forging technology broke through the fifth level, becoming the No. 5 blacksmith except Jiang Dali!

As for the gap with Jiang Dali, it's actually not that big. If you forge a few high-quality weapons and are proficient in the forging process, you can catch up with, or even surpass!

"Finally, it's time to start working!"

A gleam shot out of Lin Bei's eyes, looking expectant.

He had waited too long for this moment.

After careful calculation, it has been nearly half a year since I came to the blacksmith shop.

With hundreds of days and nights of swinging the hammer, his current level of forging is unmatched by anyone in the blacksmith shop except Jiang Dali.

According to the regulations, Lin Bei needs to forge another high-value sophisticated weapon in order to prove his forging strength!
"As long as I can forge a weapon that costs more than 50 taels of silver, I will be able to demonstrate the same level of forging technology as Jiang Dali!"

Lin Bei planned to forge a weapon first, and then make the news public, so that others would not look at him like a ghost.

And the excellent weapon he intends to forge is naturally the sharp sword he needs!

Anyway, it's just a proof, forging one's own weapon, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!
During this period of time, he went to Yang's Medical Center twice more, but he still failed to become an apprentice handyman as he wished.

Coincidentally, now that the forging technology has broken through, let's forge the sharp sword that you need first.

"We still need to prepare some rare ores..."

Lin Bei strives for perfection, hoping to create a sword that satisfies him, so he wants to use the best materials as possible.

"There are still a lot of spark ore, which can be used to improve the toughness of the sword, but in terms of hardness, I think it can be mixed with silver grain ore, supplemented with cold front iron and black gold stone, which can not only improve the hardness, but also improve the strength of the sword. sharp..."

The spark mine was left over when he cast the bow and crossbow, and there was a big bag, which he left directly as his own property, and it happened to be useful at this moment.

Anyway, the casting order has been completed, and the remaining materials are all left by his strength.

As for silver streak ore, cold front iron, and black gold stone, Lin Bei didn't find any of these three materials in the blacksmith's shop.

So, he simply asked Jiang Dali directly.

"Silver Ore, Cold Front Iron, Wujin Stone..."

Jiang Dali frowned, "I still have some Wujinshi in my collection. As for the silver grain ore and cold front iron, I don't have any extra."

As a veteran foundry maker, Jiang Dali occasionally has the habit of collecting iron ore, and Wujinshi is one of his treasures.

The signature foundry in his shop was in need, and Jiang Dali was also very generous. He went directly to his residence, searched for it, and then took out a small piece of ore that was so black that it glowed and handed it to Lin Bei.

"Silver streak ore and cold front iron are not too difficult to find, maybe you can go to the black market to look for them."

Jiang vigorously rubbed his forehead and reminded.

He looked a little tired recently, presumably he was rushing about the collapse of the backstage.

Originally, the caster of his own sign made some small requests, as long as they were not excessive, he would try his best to help meet them.

After all, foundry masters of this level are placed in small towns and need food and drink for offerings, and he is naturally happy to give them small favors.

However, he has been so busy recently that he has no spare time to help find it, so he can only point out a way for Lin Bei.

"black market……"

Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat.

After he entered the inner city, he heard about the black market very early.

I just heard that it was quite chaotic, and there was no demand, so I never went there.

This time, you can go to the black market to search to see if you can gather these two rare ores.

……

The night was dark.

Lin Bei put on a bronze mask and left the city alone.

The moonlight was like water, and the spacious official road seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow. Lin Bei galloped against the wind, his figure like a ghost.

"The black market is in Qingyuan Mountain, and it is more than 20 miles away..."

Information about the black market came to Lin Bei's mind.

This black market is said to have been established behind a certain powerful force, and it is very famous in this area, providing a trading place for many warriors to sell their stolen goods.

Traveling from south to north, many warriors gathered in the dark night to trade some obscure items.

The night wind howled, the surroundings were silent, only the croaking of insects and frogs.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Lin Bei didn't go into the mountains after leaving the city.

Although it is difficult to walk at night, Lin Bei is a martial artist in the Qi and blood realm after all, and he is bold with high skills, but he is not afraid at all.

Not long after, Lin Bei appeared in Qingyuan Mountain.

As far as the eye can see, a low hill stretches out from the horizon. The faint flames and swaying figures in it, in the thick night, look like a ghost market, extremely scary.

"go!"

Knowing that this was a black market, Lin Bei went straight to his destination without any fear.

Standing at the gate of the black market was a man with a knife on his back. He had a stern face, a scar on his face, and a deep breath.

Seeing Lin Bei coming, he just took a look and didn't speak.

"What a strong breath..."

Lin Bei glanced at the other party with a little apprehension, and seeing that the other party did not speak, he went in.

"Unexpectedly, a guy who guards the goal is actually stronger than me..."

Lin Bei guessed that the other party should not be regarded as an ordinary gatekeeper, but a thug who watches the situation and uses it to frighten the audience!

The aura he felt from the opponent was deep and terrifying, as if there was a thunderous power hidden in his raised hands, he was definitely a martial artist with full vitality!
It can only be said that it is indeed a black market covering more than a dozen surrounding towns.

Living in a town like Changsheng Town where warriors are prevalent for so long, Lin Bei has never encountered such a strong man!
