Blue Silver Grass Strategy

Family members, who can understand this feeling!

It would take an ordinary blacksmith a lifetime of study to master the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique", but this monster not only learned it on the spot, but the next day he was able to reach the level of a master blacksmith like Lou Gao, a level that only a master blacksmith like him could achieve after years of hard practice.

Still not satisfied, he said: "This is not the end, there is still a long way to go..."

Now, I finally see someone’s defense broken again, Lou Gao said: Awesome!!!

……

"Junior brother, when do you think we should announce the concept of 'Spiritual Forging' to the members of the association, and when should we show it to the mainland?"

Lou Gao looked at the metal products on the workbench, his eyes revealing the look of a parent looking at his children.

There are two rows of metal products, all of which are palm-sized rectangular metal blocks. The difference is that these metal blocks have different colors, a total of thirteen colors and twenty-six pieces.

The thirteen pieces on the right were made on site by Ling Yi today. Nine of the thirteen pieces on the left were made by Master Tie Futu, and the remaining four were made by Lou Gao.

These thirteen metal blocks are all the achievements of the master and apprentice in the past two or three years!

Thirteen kinds of thousand-forged metal alloys with certain spirituality!

Ling Yi didn't know what the future blacksmiths of Douluo Continent would be like, nor did he know what new path for forging would take. All the information he could understand came from a few fragments in some fan fiction.

For example, in the era ten thousand years later, soul guides appeared on the stage of this world, and people regained the manufacturing technology of soul guides.

For example, in the era 20,000 years later, it seems that the profession of blacksmith has stepped onto the glorious stage, and was renamed as forger, and the levels were redivided: Hundred Forging, Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging, Soul Forging, and Heaven Forging.

but!

It is not known whether these fan fiction authors do not want to quote too much from the original work, or want to express some of their own ideas, but they often only talk briefly about these forging levels without any in-depth explanation.

This also led to Ling Yi only knowing these level titles, but had no idea what the following Spirit Forging, Soul Forging, and Heaven Forging were like.

But it doesn’t matter. Not knowing the true meaning of these titles doesn’t mean that the blacksmith’s path is blocked.

Ling Yi is not Wang Chao, and this world is not a forbidden world without magic. There is no situation of "no way forward".

As long as Ling Yi wanted, he could move many of his ideas to Douluo Continent, and then let the two master craftsmen, Lou Gao and Tie Futu, try them out one by one, to find the idea that fits the rules of this world, turn it into theory, and then research out the real thing.

For example, these thirteen kinds of spiritual metal alloys are created by combining the swordsmith concepts in some martial arts novels and the weapon refining ideas in cultivation novels, and are the result of the "Spirit Awakening Technique" developed by Tie Futu.

Use the hammer of the flesh to forge your body! Use the hammer of soul power to open up your meridians! Use the hammer of spirit to nourish your soul!

During the hammering process, one can find the breath of the metal and resonate with it. With each blow of the hammer, the soul power penetrates into the interior of the metal, and cooperates with the huge force of the outside world to forge and comb the internal patterns. At the same time, the mental power also follows the soul power and resonance, nurturing a little spirituality inside the metal bit by bit.

Facing Lou Gao's question, Ling Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, now is not the right time. The [Blacksmith Association] is still too weak. This epoch-making technological change cannot be accepted by the world overnight."

"If we cannot train enough blacksmiths who have mastered the 'Spiritual Awakening Technique', it will be difficult to announce it to the mainland, or even get the blacksmiths in the association to accept the concept of 'Spiritual Forging'."

"Another thing, a common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Are you really ready to deal with the covetousness of various forces?"

Lou Gao fell silent upon hearing this. He knew all this, but when Ling Yi came here, his heart became hot and restless.

A few words

o(╥﹏╥)oObviously, I was delayed by work tonight. I worked overtime until almost nine o'clock before I got home to write. It really took all my strength to be able to publish it on time. Because in this chapter, I have to turn over some related content in Douban 2 and Douban 3, and I have to prevent myself from quoting these contents, which is a bit torturous.

Sometimes I wonder whether I should learn from those successful Douluo fan fictions and go for the route of cool writing, not considering too much logic, speeding up the growth of the protagonist, speeding up the appearance of the original characters, letting the protagonist interact with these characters, flirting with the female characters, and pretending to be smart in front of the male characters. Anyway, with me, the author, backing him up, no matter how reckless the protagonist is, everything can be arranged without any danger.

However, a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder makes me not want to write like this. Some people say that if you write fan fiction, don't pursue anything. Performance and subscriptions are the most important. If you really want to pursue something, write original works instead of hanging around at the bottom of the online literature contempt chain of fan fiction.

I knew he was right, but I wasn't going to listen to him.

I have mentioned several times that this Douluo fan fiction is based on the framework of the previous one, making up for many missing details in the previous one. The previous one was when I was following the Douluo anime, and I was out of Douluo fan fiction, so I had the idea of ​​writing my own.

At that time, I was thinking, what would it be like if I traveled to Douluo Continent?

I was very conflicted at the time. On the one hand, reality told me that you were at the bottom of society and that struggling to survive was your path, so your martial soul was the blue silver grass. On the other hand, I had already put on the clothes, so why couldn't I have some fun? So, the cheat code was a bit too much.

When I started writing the last book, I was thinking that I wanted to design a final BOSS that no one else had written. Therefore, although the protagonist had the strength to sweep across Douluo Continent early on, he still hid himself behind the scenes. Even in the later period, when he could overthrow the God Realm, he did not take action directly, but waited, waiting for me to exaggerate the protagonist's strength to the point where he could break the fourth wall, and then let the final BOSS behind Douluo Continent show up.

As for this final BOSS, I gave up on the Asura God and the Sea God from the beginning, they were too low. When I looked up information, I saw the Great God Circle, the God Realm Committee, and the first chairman, the Sea God Tang San, the second chairman, the God of Light Chang Gongwei...

It is because the final BOSS was set too early and too high that the plot of Douluo seems to be progressing sloppily.

The few Hong Kong horror novels I read during that period either had bad endings or were discontinued. There were also some Republic of China martial arts novels whose opening ideas and imaginations were eye-catching, but when I read them with great interest, I found that the development path of the protagonist described by the author did not meet my expectations. I then had the idea of ​​writing a book that I wanted to read.

So, I made an outline for a new book about Maoshan and Chinese martial arts in the Republic of China.

Just when I was about to start writing, I saw the data folder I created when I was writing Douluo fan fiction. I felt a little unwilling to give up.

I have gone off topic. The above is a lot of nonsense, and some of the introduction is irrelevant. The main thing is that I have maintained an update volume of 4K+ with two chapters per day in June, July and August. It is very tiring, really tiring given my main job. If you are a reader of the previous book, you should know that one chapter per day with 2K is my normal update speed, but for this book, I will try my best to maintain an update volume of 12W+ per month. It's just that manpower is limited, and there are always various unexpected situations in life that have to interrupt the originally smooth state.

Well, unless I stay up late tonight, I will definitely be too late to update tomorrow morning. In this case, I might as well take a day off~

Chapter 192 System Supplement

"Okay, Ayi is right, you should control your impatience."

Beside him, Tie Fu Tu glanced at Lou Gao with his old but deep eyes, echoed Ling Yi's words and said:

"You're already the president, but you're still so impetuous. With your current behavior, who knows if you'll run into something that bothers you one day and just forget about the association..."

Lou Gao was taught a lesson by Tie Fu Tu, but he did not dare to talk back. He smiled awkwardly, picked up a piece of spiritual metal in front of him, and pretended to concentrate on studying it.

After glaring at Lou Gao who didn't even raise his head, Tie Fu Tu looked at Ling Yi who was standing there, neither arrogant nor impatient, with a warm smile on his face, and said with a smile: "A Yi, we have now initially researched the system theory of 'Spiritual Forging' and turned it into practical results. In your opinion, what should we do next?"

Although he just criticized Lou Gao, Tie Futu is actually also very concerned about the reform of the blacksmith system, and is no less concerned than Lou Gao.

Hearing this, Lou Gao stopped thinking and immediately raised his head, looking at Ling Yi with burning eyes, waiting for his response.

In response, Ling Yi smiled at the two people's gazes, and cast his eyes towards the workbench between the three people, looking at the twenty-six pieces of thirteen kinds of spiritual metal blocks, and said in a clear voice:

"Uncle, Brother, as you can see, the success of these thirteen spiritual metals means that after the original hundred and thousand forgings, the forging level of 'spiritual forging' is feasible."

"In terms of the strength of the metal itself, whether it is hardness, toughness, wear resistance, or corrosion resistance... at the current forging level, it has once again reached a higher level, and can also perfectly conduct and amplify soul power.

The most important thing is that spirituality can produce an effect comparable to that of a martial spirit in the hands of a spirit master with corresponding attributes! "

"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, wind, thunder, ice, poison, light, heavy."

"Uncle, Brother~" Ling Yi's eyes swept over the thirteen different metal blocks on the table one by one, and he couldn't help but said in a tone of amazement: "It's hard to imagine that you actually developed these thirteen different properties! In the forging process, you not only retained the properties of the metal itself, but also amplified and activated it! I originally thought..."

Ling Yi originally thought that Lou Gao and the other person would be able to fully understand the theory of "Heavy Mysterious Steel" that he sent them, and then based on this case, develop three or five spiritual metal skills with different properties, which would be a great harvest!

Who knew that these two people would give him such an unexpected explosive harvest.

Ling Yi mastered all the research results of Lou Gao and Tie Fu Tu in a very short time, shocking the master and apprentice. Little did they know that the fruitful results and corresponding detailed theories given by the master and apprentice also shocked Ling Yi.

After a pause, Ling Yi continued in the two pairs of expectant eyes: "As the saying goes, what goes up must go down, and the reform should start with ourselves."

"Start with ourselves?" Lou Gao repeated, feeling a little touched, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Ling Yi did not keep the secret and answered directly: "In the current Douluo Continent, the level of blacksmiths is from low to high, not counting apprentices, starting from the primary blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, senior blacksmith, master blacksmith, master blacksmith, and finally the master blacksmith of your uncle and brother."

"If you master the skill of a hundred forgings, you can be judged as a high-level blacksmith. And a blacksmith who masters the skill of a thousand forgings has become the watershed of blacksmiths!"

"There are more than 100,000 blacksmiths in Douluo Continent! But less than 1,000 of them can become master blacksmiths!"

"Only one in a hundred can survive!" Ling Yi shook his head and said with a sigh: "In our profession of blacksmith, because of the current concept of 'everything is inferior except for soul masters' in Douluo Continent, almost all good seedlings will not focus on forging. As a result, it is difficult for one blacksmith to become a master blacksmith among a hundred blacksmiths, let alone the master blacksmiths and grandmaster blacksmiths..."

Is forging difficult?

Difficult, but not that difficult.

Becoming a master craftsman may require a high threshold and requires a lot of talent, but for many powerful soul masters, successfully tempering metal to the thousand-forging level is not difficult to do as long as they spend a certain amount of time and effort.

"Why are soul masters so popular?" Ling Yi: "Strength is the most important factor."

"After all, in this world, the strong are respected, and only the strong can have everything."

"This is also a kind of 'leading by example' to some extent. What everyone pursues is not only the glory of the soul master profession, but also the strength after becoming a soul master, as well as the wealth and power that comes with it!"

"With our current size, wealth, power, and strength, we [Blacksmith Association] cannot satisfy them."

“Even if the Blacksmith Association is developed and can provide wealth and power, without sufficient strength to support it, it will still be like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, and may even attract the covetousness of the outside world…”

"So, what we need to do now is not to launch the 'Spiritual Forging' system, but to treat 'Spiritual Forging' as a path for a blacksmith to become a master blacksmith, with the same evaluation criteria as forging and metal alloy formulas."

"It is very important to determine this starting point!"

"Based on the inherent understanding of the current Douluo Continent, our operation will only increase the difficulty of becoming a master craftsman, rather than allowing the 'commoner' blacksmith to challenge the social status and foundation of the 'noble' soul master."

Having said that, Ling Yi stopped, because Lou Gao and Tie Futu in front of him had the same confused look on their faces.

Obviously, for Ling Yi's words, not to mention Lou Gao, even Tie Futu, who was over 80 years old, was a little confused at this moment.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi looked at Lou Gao and asked, "Brother, do you still remember the question I asked you before?"

Lou Gao was confused: "Huh?"

"When we were in the Frost Wind Camp," Ling Yi continued, "I asked you whether you wanted to improve the status of the blacksmith profession or the status of every blacksmith. You told me at the time that you hoped that the identity of a blacksmith would no longer be despised and looked down upon by soul masters..."

Hearing this, Lou Gao nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Although I am now the president of the [Blacksmith Association], I don't dare to expect every blacksmith to be respected by everyone. Even a soul master can't do this..."

"Yes." Ling Yi nodded and said, "So, we must make one thing clear. Our reformed blacksmith profession is not intended to become another system besides soul masters, nor is it intended to shake the status of soul masters in Douluo Continent!"

"The transformed blacksmith will not become a vassal of the soul master, nor will it replace the soul master's position. It will be a supplement to the soul master system, just like the food system, healing system and other lines, and will be a part of the soul master!"

Chapter 193 Not Waste

Following Ling Yi's explanation, Lou Gao seemed to understand something, while Tie Futu breathed a sigh of relief.

As time goes by, people become more experienced. Although Tie Fu Tu was limited by the lack of an education system on Douluo Continent and had to deal with metals and forging all day long, his overall view and human perception were not very broad and thorough. However, his more than eighty years of life experience made him feel a little uneasy when he first heard Lou Gao talk about improving the status of the blacksmith profession on Douluo Continent, in addition to his same longing for such a scene to come true.

He was worried that if Ling Yi and Lou Gao increased the influence and status of the blacksmith profession and encroached on the interests of the old forces in the soul master system, would they be suppressed and maliciously targeted.

The foundation of the [Blacksmith Association] is too shallow, the combat effectiveness of the blacksmiths themselves is not outstanding, and the combat effectiveness of the high-level ones is zero, and they cannot withstand the power from the soul master system at all.

Originally, he could only keep these worries to himself, because Tiefutu didn't know what to do. As a master craftsman, when it came to forging, looking across the Douluo Continent, even Lou Gao, who was also a master craftsman, still lacked some experience and sophistication in his eyes. But when it came to developing power, planning routes, and promoting system change, Tiefutu knew that he was not cut out for it.

Different fields have different meanings. This is Douluo Continent, a barbaric world where knowledge is relatively closed, people are almost illiterate, and personal force is supreme. This is not the world of Ling Yi's previous life where people are enlightened and life is full of electronic and networked thoughts and information.

Here, farmers grow grains and, in addition to eating them themselves, they only take them to the market to sell them. They hardly ever think about whether they can process them again and sell them at a higher price.

Similarly, a blacksmith would only think about how to improve his skills and forge better quality products, so as to raise the selling price with peace of mind. He would not think about whether he could set the price of ironware at will if he monopolized all the ironware in a place...

After analyzing his own ideas and the initial transformation plan for Lou Gao and Tie Fu Tu in as concise and clear language as possible, Ling Yi returned to the topic of spiritual metals:

"Uncle, Brother, now that the spirit-forging metal has been initially developed, we should proceed to the next step, which is to transform it from raw materials into tools that can be used by spirit masters!"

"How far have the research on soul guide arrays progressed?" Ling Yi asked Tie Futu and his disciple.

"This..."*2

Feeling the expectation in Ling Yi's eyes, Lou Gao and Tie Futu looked at each other and saw the embarrassment on each other's faces.

Well, seeing the two people's performance, Ling Yi knew that his expectations were in vain.

But it was not difficult to understand. Being able to develop thirteen different spiritual metal formulas and forging techniques was beyond Ling Yi's expectations. At the same time, studying the metal itself was in line with the two's status as divine craftsmen.

Soul guide array patterns were a little beyond the scope of the two blacksmiths who had hardly studied related subjects before.

"No, no, nothing was gained..."

Lou Gao stroked his beard and whispered, "My master and I used spiritual metal with fire attributes to build a new furnace and engraved a soul guide array pattern with a fire-gathering effect on it..."

"Oh?" Ling Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he asked expectantly, "Where is it? Can I take a look?"

"It exploded." Lou Gao spread his hands and answered briefly.

Ling Yi: "..."

"And~" Lou Gao continued, "I also used the enhanced "Heavy Mysterious Steel" to create a new forging hammer and engraved a gravity soul guide array pattern on it."

"This shouldn't explode." Ling Yi complained first, then asked calmly, "How is the effect?"

Ling Yi has already mastered a gravity-related soul guide array pattern, and also created a "gravity soul guide array diagram" to use as one of the external force auxiliary props when strengthening his physical body.

"There." Lou Gao raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the wall about ten steps away.

Ling Yi looked in the direction he was looking, and saw a sheep-horn hammer the size of a human head, standing there quietly with its head facing downwards, under a shelf in the corner where a lot of metal ores were stacked.

"At that time, I wanted to create a dual-purpose hammer that could be used as both a forging hammer and a war hammer..."

Lou Gao, who was also looking over, explained, "The whole thing is made of 'Heavy Mysterious Steel 2.0'. It originally weighed kilograms, but after the gravity soul guide array pattern was engraved on it, it now weighs nearly kilograms. My master and I used all our soul power to barely lift it. We can't wield it at all. It's considered useless..."
