Chapter 158 I Just Understand
"This Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest of our Wei Mansion. He is quite interested in casting and said he wanted to visit the best blacksmith shop in the county. I brought him to you, Master Lin."
Chief Steward Wei introduced.
"Hello, Master Lin."
Lu Qing bowed slightly and greeted him.
At this moment, information about this old craftsman was displayed in his field of vision.
[Lin Tiechui: The owner of Zhuxinfang, an old blacksmith with superb skills and a generous personality.]
[Cultivation: Acquired tendons and bones, good at using hammer techniques.]
This name is quite down to earth.
Lu Qing thought to himself.
"Okay, okay, but you are flattering me when you say that, Chief Steward Wei. If the old man Wang next door hears it, he will definitely come after me for a fight."
Master Craftsman Lin's face was clearly all smiles, and he couldn't suppress his joy, but he still spoke modestly.
Chief Steward Wei smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Master Craftsman Lin from Zhuxinfang and Master Craftsman Wang from Tiebingzhai not far away have always been at odds with each other. This is something known to the entire county, and he has no interest in getting involved.
"I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to visit?"
After knowing that Lu Qing was a distinguished guest of the Wei Mansion, Master Craftsman Lin did not dare to neglect him.
The person who can have General Wei accompany him personally must be of great importance.
Although he did not go to the city gate yesterday, he still felt the terrifying power erupting inside the city.
Later I heard that there was a young man who amazed everyone with his skills and defeated a martial arts master who had achieved perfection in internal organs by reaching perfection in the realm of muscles and bones.
Judging from the attitude of Chief Steward Wei, could it be the young man in front of him?
Thinking of this, Master Lin's attitude became even more respectful.
"Actually, I want to rent your foundry furnace and make a handy weapon for myself. I wonder if Master Lin would be able to do that?"
Lu Qing went straight to the point.
"Young Master, you also know the art of casting?"
Master Craftsman Lin was very surprised.
Lu Qing's temperament does not have the aura of a blacksmith at all. His hands are smooth and flat without a single callus. He does not look like he is good at casting.
"I know a little bit, but I'm not proficient yet. I need more practice."
Master Craftsman Lin immediately understood that Lu Qing was not good at casting, but he just wanted to make a weapon for fun on a whim.
He had met such a young man before, so it was not too surprising.
"Of course you can. I wonder which stove you like? I'll vacate it right away."
If it were someone else who made such an unreasonable request, Master Lin would definitely be very displeased.
But Lu Qingshi was a distinguished guest at the Wei Mansion, and he was accompanied by Chief Steward Wei, so he was most likely a powerful warrior who could defeat a martial arts master.
Faced with such an existence, naturally everything can be compromised.
"Master Craftsman Lin, please help me choose one. I want one with stronger firepower." Lu Qing said.
"Then let's go with furnace number one. It has the strongest wind and the highest temperature. It can refine even igneous rock steel. It should meet the young master's requirements."
After Master Lin pondered for a moment, he spoke directly.
"Then listen to Master Lin."
Lu Qing also knew about Huoyan Gang, a kind of black steel with a very high melting point, which usually appeared near volcanoes.
If even that kind of black steel can be refined, then the fire power of this furnace must be very strong.
It barely met his requirements.
Soon, Master Craftsman Lin freed up furnace No. 1.
"Mr. Lu, please, what kind of weapon do you want to fight with?"
"There's no rush for this. Let me practice first and get familiar with the process."
After hearing this, Master Craftsman Lin became even more certain that Lu Qing really came here to play.
How can you forge a good weapon if you are not even familiar with the casting process?
"Master Craftsman Lin, if you are busy, you can do your own thing in advance. There is no need to accompany me." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"That's fine. There haven't been any special orders in the workshop recently. I'm an old man with nothing to do, so I can watch the young master's forging techniques."
How could Master Craftsman Lin dare to let Lu Qing struggle here alone? If he got hurt, he wouldn't be able to take the responsibility.
However, he still dispersed his subordinates and disciples who wanted to watch, so as not to affect Lu Qing.
Lu Qing smiled and understood what Master Lin was thinking.
He didn't poke it either. He went forward and selected it, and finally picked up a medium-sized hammer.
"Master Craftsman Lin, I wonder if I can use the materials from your shop." Lu Qing asked.
"It's okay to use it." Master Craftsman Lin said immediately.
Anyway, the materials on the stove are just some ordinary iron bars, so he wouldn't feel bad even if they were broken.
Lu Qing took a look at the materials on the furnace and found that they were all ordinary pig iron bars, so he used them with confidence.
He held the hammer in his right hand and with his left hand took a red-hot iron bar from the carbon furnace and placed it on the anvil.
He then activated his special powers and entered a learning state. A hammer technique inherited from the Lihuo Sect flowed through his mind, and all kinds of insights came to his mind.
bite!
Lu Qing hit the iron bar with a hammer, and a crisp sound was heard.
Master Craftsman Lin's heart skipped a beat at first, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
As expected, this young master Lu is not proficient in blacksmithing skills.
Although the hammer was powerful, the technique was not good. The strength was not used correctly and it seemed quite unfamiliar.
It is very difficult to hammer out impurities in pig iron by hammering in this way.
But he didn't say anything to remind her, he just watched quietly.
After hammering a few times, Lu Qing also found something wrong. He stopped and thought quietly.
Master Craftsman Lin saw that he hadn't moved for a while and was thinking about whether to give him some advice, but he saw Lu Qing raise the hammer again.
bite!
Lu Qing smashed down with another hammer.
But this time, Master Craftsman Lin couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
This was because Lu Qing's hammer was completely beyond his expectations.
As an old blacksmith who has been immersed in casting for decades, he has made countless weapons and farm tools in his life.
Master Craftsman Lin's forging skills have long reached an extremely high level.
When he taught his disciples on weekdays, he could tell which disciple had made what mistake just by listening without using his eyes.
So he could tell at once that Lu Qing's hammer was completely different from the previous ones that were almost random.
He used his strength appropriately and skillfully, just enough to hammer out the impurities in the iron bar. Even his disciples might not be able to deliver such a powerful blow.
"Is it luck?"
An idea flashed through Master Lin’s mind.
But he soon discovered that he had guessed wrong.
After Lu Qing struck the hammer once, he also felt the difference. He knew that he had found the right direction, and a smile appeared on his face.
He didn't stop, but continued to raise the hammer and hit it down again.
In the following time, Lu Qing continued to fold and forge the iron bar with hammer after hammer.
During this process, the old craftsman Lin's eyes widened wider and wider, and finally he became stunned.
