Chapter 77 Return of Glory
"Muzhi City", a large mansion in the south of the city.

"Boom boom boom——"

Carrying the wind and snow, Ling Yi raised his hand and knocked on the tall and wide door.

"Who is it—" a low-puffed voice sounded.

At the same time, the thick door was pulled open, and a young man's head poked out.

When Ling Yi saw the young man, he immediately asked with a smile: "Alai, is the master at home?"

Hearing the voice, the young man named Alai opened his eyes wide. The hazy sleepiness that had originally faded away immediately. When he saw Ling Yi's face clearly, he immediately said with great joy: "Master Yi is back -?!"

This is the disciple that my master values ​​the most, even a closed disciple!

Mr. Jin is now nearly eighty years old. Although he is a soul master and his body is strong enough for wielding hammers all year round, he is no longer young after all and has no more energy to teach new disciples.

Even Ling Yi, a young disciple, was accepted as the No. 13 direct disciple because his talent was indeed high enough.

In the early stage, the fifth disciple Wang Meng and others taught him first. Later, when the disciples had nothing to teach, he was the master who taught him personally.

Since Master Yi graduated from the [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy] three years ago and went to the Cold Wind City, except for sending a letter back every two or three months, he has never seen him again.

To be honest, not only Mr. Jin often chanted a few words, but even A Lai, who was a servant of the Jin family, missed this young master Yi who spoke nicely and treated others with a smile.

After all, looking at the entire "Muzhi City", there has never been a master who makes people feel like a warm breeze when getting along with him.

Overjoyed, Alai opened the door wide, regardless of the cold wind and snowflakes that hit him, he smiled and said quickly:

"Yes, yes, I'm at home. It's been snowing heavily these days, and I haven't gone out the whole time -"

"It's good to be here~"

Ling Yi said something with a smile, and walked into the door under Alai's warm welcome.

While walking, Ling Yi pulled his left hand on his shoulder and pulled the backpack on his back to his side. He reached in with his right hand and touched it. He took out a palm-sized oilcloth paper bag and handed it to Alai: "Here, I brought back from the "Bold Wind City" a kind of preserved fruit called frozen autumn pear. It's sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good. Give your children a try - "

After saying that, without giving Alai a chance to refuse, he stuffed it directly into Alai's arms, and at the same time walked slowly towards the main hall in the middle courtyard.

Alai looked at Ling Yi's familiar smiling face and his back that started to move away after passing him, and suddenly felt that the heavy snow in the sky was not so cold anymore.

Busy shouted softly from behind: "Hey! Thank you, Young Master Yi!"

Ling Yi didn't look back, he just raised his hand and waved it behind him.

……

"What?! You...Ayi...you have become...a master blacksmith——??!!"

In the main hall of the Jin Mansion, Mr. Jin in mink fur and cotton clothes was sitting on the main seat with a golden sword. Under a pair of strong gray eyebrows, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. The small teapot he was holding in his hand was almost crushed by the uncontrollable force. .

Seeing the disbelief on the old man's face, Ling Yi stepped forward with a smile, took the small teapot from the old man's hand that had spilled most of the tea due to shaking, and put it on the table.

While picking up the kettle on the small stove next to him and adding water to it, he said with a smile: "Yes, Master, didn't I say in the letter I sent you before that Senior Brother Lou Gao temporarily stopped traveling more than half a year ago and stayed in At the Cold Wind Camp, they taught me how to forge step by step—"

"Now I have not only learned the full set of the Nine-Nine 81 Style "Chaan Cloak Hammer Technique", but also, under the guidance of Senior Brother Lou Gao, I have mastered several special alloy smelting processes that require lower forging strength. I have been able to create Thousand Forgings Level weapons and armor——"

Sitting on the big chair, Mr. Jin looked dazed, mechanically took the small teapot presented by Ling Yi with both hands, subconsciously moved the spout to his mouth, took a sip of the warm tea, and felt a rush of heat from his mouth Entered, flowed down the throat, and swallowed, and then slowly recovered.

Seeing Ling Yi, who was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and who was treating things calmly from beginning to end, the joy on Mr. Jin's face bloomed visibly to the naked eye, and he laughed heartily: "Okay! Hahaha——! OK——! Too much alright--!!"

It can be said that Ling Yi became a master blacksmith, and Mr. Jin was happier than Ling Yi himself.

Before Ling Yi, the old man had a total of twelve direct disciples, and there were countless other named and unnamed apprentices. However, since he returned to [Shuimu Principality], in more than 40 years, there has not been a single disciple who has become a blacksmith master.

Even Zhang Tie, the apprentice who has been with him for the longest time and studied the longest, is still wasting away as a senior blacksmith in his fifties this year.

Other direct disciples, the strongest works that can be forged, are better, such as the fifth disciple Wang Meng, who can forge [-] forging weapons like the eldest disciple Zhang Tie, and weaker ones, such as the ninth disciple, can only reach [-] forging

"Muzhi City" is too small, and "Shuimu Principality" is too small!

The entire principality’s demand for armor that is over [-] forged is actually not that small. However, compared to transporting raw ore and letting domestic blacksmiths hammer and forge it, many forces in the principality will directly purchase it from the neighboring [Tian Dou Empire]. Finished product.

Only some local soul masters and local soul master families, plus the principality officials, will order the armor they need and hand it over to various senior blacksmiths in the country to forge.

But often because these master blacksmiths may have received large quantities of low-demand orders from others in advance, they are really too busy, so they can only push out the business of door-to-door delivery, resulting in a decline in the retention rate of repeat customers.

In a vicious circle, the experience that these disciples of Mr. Jin can gain in producing high-quality works is always limited, and it becomes more difficult to make progress.

Unlike Ling Yi, they relied on the name of [Jin Geng Blacksmith Shop] from the beginning, and their own skills were not bad. They were able to get enough materials to practice from fifth senior brother Wang Meng and master Jin.

Later, when we arrived at the Cold Wind Camp, the military's consumption of various weapons was not small. Backed by the principality's military, raw materials were always guaranteed. As long as the weapons and armor made by Ling Yi were of high quality, no one in the army would treat Ling Yi. There are opinions on using various metal materials in large quantities.

You know, metal ore, high-flammability coke and other materials all cost money.

The blacksmith industry has never been a wealthy profession on Douluo Continent!

The disciples under Mr. Jin have fleshy hands and backs, and Mr. Jin also has children and clansmen under his knees. He can't do his best to help a certain disciple, so he went to Krypton Gold to intensify his forging skills.

Therefore, Ling Yi proposed to join the military three years ago. After the old man was shocked at the beginning, he was convinced by Ling Yi's idea of ​​using the military's abundant material support to hone his skills.

It's only been three years since Ling Yi became a blacksmith? !

Although Ling Yi's own excellent talent and Lou Gao, who is a master blacksmith, are among them, but the sufficient logistical support at the Cold Wind Camp is definitely a major success factor!
Thinking of this, Mr. Jin couldn't help but start to feel active.

It seems that sending your disciples to the logistics department of the army for a while is very interesting?
