"A lot of blacksmith shops." Lin Manshan clicked his tongue. Along the way, he saw at least dozens of blacksmith shops.

"That's natural. Gengxin City is the city with the most blacksmith shops on the mainland. According to statistics, there are more than a thousand blacksmith shops, and there are tens of thousands of blacksmiths. Blacksmiths from many places will come here for the blacksmith assessment. Only those who become senior blacksmiths can stay. in the city.

Aman, that guy from Tieshan told me that you are very talented as a blacksmith. You have to perform well later on. At your age, if you can be certified as a senior blacksmith, it will really give us blacksmiths in Notting City a face. "A middle-aged man beside him said heartily.

"Uncle Mo, I will work hard." Lin Manshan nodded.

The man beside him is the leader of the caravan and also a blacksmith in Notting City.

"Yeah." The man nodded and turned his eyes away, "It's up ahead, Ah Man, I will take you to the assessment later, hehe, that guy Tieshan blows you up in front of me, I You have to see for yourself whether he is bragging."

"..." Lin Manshan opened his mouth, and finally replied, "Then please trouble Uncle Mo."

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Lin Manshan jumped out of the carriage following the middle-aged man. Looking up, it was a huge building with a height of more than [-] meters and glowing with steel.There is a dark plaque hanging directly above it, without any words, only a raised pattern consisting of a hammer and a chisel crossed, without any gorgeous decorations around, and looking straight ahead, there are not even gate guards.

The three gates were completely open, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man led the way, introducing as he walked, "The Blacksmith Association is divided into five floors, the first floor is the trading area... the second floor is the advanced trading area... the third The first floor is the registration assessment area..."

Walking into the gate, the fully open hall is full of noise.The outermost area against the wall is a variety of counters, which are filled with various metal ores and blacksmith casting products. Customers stop and go, and the counters are surrounded by layers.

Baimeng Book

"It's really lively." Lin Manshan sighed.

"That's natural, this is the general meeting." The middle-aged man smiled, turned around and informed the entourage of the meeting time and place, then turned to look at Lin Manshan, "Aman, let's go, I'll take you to the third floor."

"Okay!" Lin Manshan nodded and followed suit.

All the way up, explained the situation to the stairs and the guards, and the two arrived at the third floor smoothly.

The layout of the third floor is extremely simple, except for a small counter in the center, surrounded by closed rooms.

Approaching the counter, there was a burly man leaning on a chair behind him. The moment he saw the burly man, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became respectful, "I have met Master Sidi, I am here to take this child to the blacksmith examination, Please help me arrange it."

"Oh?" Sidi stood up immediately after hearing the words, "It's just too busy, so let me host it."

After speaking, he shook his body, walked around the counter and walked out, striding towards one of the rooms where the door and window were shining with firelight.

Waving back as he walked, "Come with me."

"Okay...ok..." The middle-aged man responded quickly, leading Lin Manshan to follow quickly.

The two walked into the door, and inside was a forging room with a very simple layout, and the fire was booming.Sidi went straight to the fire, picked up a piece of pig iron and threw it in, then turned around, "Come here, kid."

Lin Manshan nodded and walked straight forward.

"Blowing wind to help fire is also a basic ability of blacksmiths, and hammering pig iron is the foundation of forging. So, next, you must heat this piece of pig iron with your own hands, and then hammer this piece of pig iron to the ground in front of me. The limit of what you can temper. After the tempering is completed, the final quality of this piece of pig iron will determine the result of your first assessment."

After speaking, Sidi stepped aside, "Come on, let's get started."

"Yes!" Lin Manshan nodded, walked quickly to the blower, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the handle, and pushed and pulled rhythmically.

The fire was blazing, and Lin Manshan was pushing and pulling charcoal while adding charcoal, and the surrounding air quickly became scorchingly hot.

The color of the pig iron in the charcoal fire also began to change from the original dark gray to bright orange.

"Not bad! The movements and strength are perfect..." Sidi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Not long after, Lin Manshan stopped, picked up the iron clamp from the side, picked up the pig iron and quickly placed it on the forging platform not far away.

Then he picked up the hammer placed on the ground next to him, adjusted his movements, and swung it rhythmically.

"Clang clang..."

The crashing sound came one after another, like a beating heart, or like thunder in the sky, becoming more and more intense.

"!!!?" Sidi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, and he moved to the side of the middle-aged man in small steps, and leaned over to ask in a low voice, "Brother, what is the name of this child? How old is it today? Is it you?" disciple?"

"No." The middle-aged man also looked dumbfounded, and shook his head in a daze, "He is an apprentice blacksmith in a commoner blacksmith shop in Notting City, his name is Aman, he seems to be less than ten years old this year, and he is an orphan. He was dropped out from the Junior Soul Master Academy."

"Under ten years old! Apprentice blacksmith?? Orphan? Cough cough cough..." Sidi almost screamed out, but still swallowed.

Confirmed the eyes, this is a boy I can't grasp.I am not even a master blacksmith now, even if I succeed in accepting this kid, if the teacher knows that I am teaching such a good seed.I will definitely be sprayed bloody, scolding me for misleading my son, maybe I will be beaten up... Sidi's face was tangled, and then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man with a serious expression.

"Friend, you watch here first, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Oh... good..." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Before the words finished, Sidi had already quickly slipped out of the room.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally realized that Master Sidi suddenly left a message and ran away. It was obvious that he couldn't grasp it and went out to shake people. "Fuck! That guy Tieshan is not bragging, this kid is really a good seed for a blacksmith. The talent is so good that it explodes! What should we do now? Master Sidi is obviously looking for Master Lou Gao to dig disciple."

Sidi is Lou Gao's direct disciple, he can't grasp it, who else can he turn to?

After a long silence, his face softened, "I'm just helping to bring people here, and I don't care about other things."

Clang, clang, Lin Manshan looked serious, and the sound of beating continued.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door was opened, and then a series of footsteps came.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look, and there were four strong men standing beside him.

Looking at it brightly, as if seeing a rare treasure.

"..." The middle-aged man trembled and subconsciously moved two steps sideways.

Not long after, "Peng!" With a loud noise, the room was silent.

Everyone looked around and saw that the volume of the pig iron on the forging table had already shrunk by a third.

Lin Manshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to raise his head when suddenly, a big belly of Yuandu appeared in front of his eyes.

Chapter 55 It's Too Much To Give

"???So fast..."

Lin Manshan was taken aback, subconsciously took a step back, looked up, the fat man's fiery gaze made him a little hairy, "Is this the height of the building?" He quickly lowered his head slightly, cupped his hands, and said politely: "Dare to ask senior... "

His fists were grasped and trembled slightly.

A rough voice came immediately.

"The old man's name is Lou Gao, he is the president of the blacksmith association, one of the three great craftsmen in the world, boy, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"Well, senior, I already have a teacher." Lin Manshan said cautiously.

"Huh? May I ask who your teacher is, the master blacksmith?" Lou Gao's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was about to find this person for a 1V1 real-man battle.

"Senior, my teacher is not a master blacksmith. It's a group of ordinary blacksmiths in an ordinary blacksmith shop. They taught me all the skills and led me in." Lin Manshan raised his head and said without a word.

"A group of civilian blacksmiths." Lou Gao was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief, "Boy, don't lie to me. The hammering method you used to forge pig iron just now is beyond the comprehension of ordinary blacksmiths."

"Fairy Wood"

"Senior, that's not the hammer technique." Lin Manshan twitched his hand, but couldn't pull it out. "It's the saber technique, which the junior usually practiced blindly."

"What! Is that the saber technique you have learned?" Lou Gao's eyes widened suddenly.

"That's right, our family has been chopping wood and making charcoal for generations. The family's martial spirit is a hatchet, but no one has awakened the soul power. I am the only one who has awakened the soul power. I have a level 3 innate soul power. And the martial soul has mutated. However, it seems to be a vicious mutation, my martial soul changed its form after absorbing the first soul ring, but it can no longer retain the soul ring and soul skills."

As he said that, Lin Manshan's expression darkened, "So, I could only practice knives every day, and then I entered a blacksmith's shop as an apprentice. I wanted to train my arms and waist by hammering pig iron, and then I became like this .”

"Can it still be like this!?" Everyone present was taken aback.

"Could this be talent?" Sidi opened her mouth and couldn't help murmuring sourly.

He is just not talented, and is often scolded by the teacher as a pighead.

Lou Gao's complexion changed, and he let go of his hands, "Boy, your name is Aman, right? Summon your martial soul and show me."

"Okay!" Lin Manshan heaved a sigh of relief after withdrawing his hands, and stretched out his hand to summon the martial spirit.

"It's true that there is no soul ring, a martial soul without soul ring and soul skills, there are such strange things in the world." Lou Gao clicked his tongue again and again.

"It's good if you can continue to practice." Lin Manshan withdrew his martial soul, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tieshan said that one can become a powerful soul master without soul skills, and that soul masters can create their own soul skills. The cloak hammer method is a self-created soul skill."

Hearing this, Lou Gao was silent for a while, then patted his stomach, and laughed loudly: "Uncle Tieshan, you are right. A soul master can become a powerful soul master without soul skills. The set of knives you realized The method is very powerful, and I feel it is no worse than the wind hammer method. Aman, keep working hard, I believe you will succeed.” After speaking, he changed the subject, stroked his long beard and said solemnly, “Aman, you just now It’s a group of blacksmiths who taught you casting, right? So, it must be okay to have one more teacher, right?”

"???" The three direct disciples behind him were dumbfounded.

I didn't expect Chairman Lou Gao to be such a person... The middle-aged man was also surprised.

"Huh?" Lin Manshan was also stunned.

Is this still the height of the building in my impression?Isn't he a curmudgeon?This style of painting is wrong!

"Aman, many teachers should avoid detours." Lou Gao said meaningfully, spread out his right hand, and a thick book stapled together by countless papers appeared in his hand, and handed it to Lin Manshan, "Come on, this Here you are. This is my casting handbook, which records some of my daily casting experience. You can study it after you take it back. In addition, how can you go out into the world of soul masters without a storage soul tool? Aman, as long as you Recognize me as a teacher, and I will give you a big one later as a gift."

"You know the soul tool? It's the kind of tool that allows soul masters not to carry heavy things on their backs."

Will love disappear?Do you want to be so eccentric?The three direct disciples felt out of favor at the same time.

I didn't expect President Lou Gao to be such a person, to coax children... The middle-aged man was surprised again.

"There is no end to learning, and it can only be long-term by inclusiveness. Senior, you are right." Lin Manshan nodded heavily, and immediately bowed.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

"Learning is endless, and you can learn from everything...My dear disciple, you're right!" Lou Gao's eyes suddenly brightened, he stretched out his hand to help Lin Manshan up, and turned his head to look at several direct disciples, his round eyes slightly stared, "It's not enough Come to see your little brother?"

The three strong men suddenly felt a little wronged, but they still squeezed out a smile on their faces and greeted cordially, "Little brother..."

Then I go?The middle-aged man stood there in embarrassment.

"Let's go, boy, I'll take you to choose a soul tool." Lou Gao patted his big belly and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he cast his eyes at the middle-aged man aside, "Silong, treat this distinguished guest for me."

"Well, President Lou Gao, the hospitality is not necessary, I have to go down to buy metal." Then, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Lin Manshan, "Aman, the caravan will leave at the Chengnan Station in the morning in three days. If you want to go back together, you can come and find me."

"Purchase metal, it's easy. Silong, you can go for a match and get a 7% discount." Lou Gao said bluntly.

There is such a good thing?The middle-aged man's face suddenly brightened, and he quickly cupped his hands, "Then thank you, President."

"Please come with me." Si Long wanted to run away as soon as possible, and immediately led the man away.

Then, Lin Manshan was taken away.

The remaining two senior brothers were also sent away.

Follow Lou Gao to the top floor, and walk into the storage room specially designed for the auction house to store auction items. Lin Manshan looked around, and saw that the rows of shelves were full of beautiful things. There were all kinds of boxes, big and small, neatly placed, including wooden ones. Made of jade... it's overwhelming.

Soon, the two came to a long table inside.

Lou Gao stretched out his hand and quickly opened a refined wooden box, and immediately, more than a dozen soul guides of different styles appeared in front of him.

"Teacher, choose one." Lou Gao turned his head and said grandly, "These are medium and large storage soul guides, each with a storage space of more than [-] cubic meters. With it, you can forge soul tools in the future." You don’t have to worry about storing your own works.”

"Teacher, do you have a soul guide that can store living things?" Lin Manshan couldn't help asking.

"No." Lou Gao shook his head, "That thing is very rare, and you can hardly find it on the market."

PS: Lou Gao is so active, you can guess it.

Chapter 56 Soul Bone and Soul Guidance Tool

"Then I want this belt and this wristband." Lin Manshan pointed with his left hand, and took out the head spirit bone from his bosom with his right hand, "Teacher, I will buy the other one with money. The head spirit bone of Jiaoxian. I came to Gengxin City this time, in addition to being certified as a blacksmith, I also have another purpose to sell this spirit bone and use it to buy soul guides and various rare metals."

"In order to avoid being discovered, I wrapped the spirit bone with iron sheets." Said, handed it to Lou Gao.

"The 400-year-old golden-armored unicorn head spirit bone?!" Lou Gao was taken aback, carefully took it, and then pinched his fingertips, tearing the iron sheet, revealing a golden head spirit bone with a unicorn , clicked his tongue and said: "Disciple, where did you come from? The Golden Armored Unicorn is a top-level insect-like soul beast that is good at strength and defense. This head soul bone is definitely worth far more than ordinary thousand-year-old soul bones."

"Also, spirit bones are hard to come by, why don't you absorb them yourself?"

"Teacher, I'm just a commoner with no background or strength. Even if I absorb this soul bone, I wouldn't dare to use it." Lin Manshan shook his head helplessly, "As for the source, I obtained the first soul in the primary soul hunting forest. It fell from the ring."

The first spirit ring, no wonder... Lou Gao sighed secretly, then nodded, "This kind of power-type head spirit bone skill has obvious characteristics when used." After speaking, he pondered for a while, and continued, "However, this one Soul bones cannot be auctioned at the auction house of the Blacksmith Association. Although Gengxin City is one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire, its status can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches. The people who live here are either blacksmiths or merchants engaged in commercial activities. There is no big soul. The division force is permanent, so there are very few people who have the ability to buy this spirit bone."

Speaking of this, Myers, the headmaster of the Wuhun Palace in Gengxin City, could not help but frown slightly in his mind.

"In addition, Miles, the headmaster of the Wuhun Palace in Gengxin City, is a person who likes to steal. Seeing this spirit bone being auctioned, he might have some bad intentions. Disciple, you also know the status of our blacksmiths. He is a soul sage, and his strength is much stronger than Miles, but involving such a huge monster as the Wuhun Temple, for the sake of the entire Blacksmith Association, he really cannot afford to offend him."

Frowning slightly resentfully, Lou Gao continued: "Therefore, in order to be able to sell at a higher price, and also for the sake of safety. The teacher's suggestion is to bring it to the Auction Hall of the Imperial Capital of the Star Luo Empire. There are always soul bones. There is no market for price, and the head spirit bone is even rarer. Although the piece you got is less than a thousand years old, I guess it can be sold for a high price of several million gold spirit coins."

"Millions!?" Lin Manshan was taken aback.

"That's natural!" Lou Gao patted his belly with a smile, "Teacher, don't underestimate this soul bone, it is the treasure that all soul masters dream of, and many soul masters may not have seen it until they reach the Contra level. One piece is worth a lot. If it weren’t for my teacher, I’m a blacksmith, and I don’t like to fight at ordinary times, I just like to study casting alone. To be honest, I would like to absorb it now.”

"This is what is called rare is the most precious." Lin Manshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.A few million may be a huge sum of money for ordinary people.But for some big forces, it might just be a small target, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"That's right, that's the reason." Lou Gao smiled, put the soul bone into the soul guide, and said in a deep thought, "How about it, apprentice. I will offer 200 million gold soul coins plus the soul guide you chose How about exchanging this spirit bone with you?"

"200 million, so much!?" Lin Manshan was shocked, then shook his head.
