"But I must not be complacent. That monk must have learned the Vajra Fist, but he was killed by a few hooligans... I am far from strong enough."
Su Hao recalled the tragic scene of the dismembered monk, and he suppressed his pride and complacency. He knew that he couldn't even reach the top level in Crouching Tiger Town. Looking at the huge Great Yan Dynasty, he was still far behind!
"Now I am cultivating my energy. My body's thirst for energy is getting bigger and bigger. It is said that powerful warriors can even 'eat a whole cow'. If you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, you can't do it without money. I have to start making more money!"
At the same time, Su Hao felt waves of hunger coming from his body. To "replenish his energy", he needed to eat and drink enough, and replenish himself with energy from food. At the same time, Su Hao also considered that he had to make more money.
Some secret medicines that assist in spiritual practice, and even the purchase of new martial arts secrets, all require money!
At dawn the next day, Su Hao came to the blacksmith shop early in the morning and began to make the tools ordered, mostly sickles, hammers, hoes and other farm tools. Now he is very familiar with them.
Su Hao was quick and energetic, and completed the items ordered by noon.
After having lunch in the blacksmith shop, he went to the forge again and began to hammer a piece of pig iron. He moved quickly, the hammer fell, sparks flew, and there was a clanging sound of metal colliding, which was crisp and pleasant, with a wonderful sense of rhythm.
Under the hammering of Su Hao, the impurities in the pig iron were gradually removed.
Forging is the basic skill of a blacksmith. Through repeated forging, the impurities in the iron block are removed, so that the quality becomes tough, making it "fine iron", and then it is used as the material for forging weapons!
What Su Hao is doing now is forging fine iron. He hammers, folds and forges the pig iron repeatedly. This requires physical strength and even more patience.
Su Hao is now full of energy. He holds the heavy forging hammer with both hands, alternating between them, and completes several blows and forgings every day. The other blacksmiths in the smithy are all staring at him, amazed at Su Hao's growth rate!
When Su Hao first came to the forging room, he was still very thin, but now, only about a year later, Su Hao has not only grown a lot taller, but his naked body has refined and beautiful muscle lines, a combination of strength and beauty.
Su Hao, who has an extraordinary constitution, is different from ordinary people in both his comprehension and physique!
With every few blows of Su Hao's hammer, the originally mottled iron block was gradually tempered into steel. Impurities were removed, and the surface showed a metallic luster, becoming heavy and tough.
"You can forge weapons!"
Su Hao's eyes lit up, and then he began to forge this piece of 'fine iron' into shape, constantly using shovels, scrapers and other tools to shape it. This piece of fine iron gradually turned into the shape of a long sword.
Su Hao had seen other old blacksmiths forging weapons many times in this forging room. He remembered the steps, process, and precautions clearly. Now he was doing it himself!
Su Hao completed the steps of quenching, grinding and polishing, covering with soil and burning the blade, tempering... etc. meticulously.
When Su Hao was not completing his own work, he spent the rest of his time forging weapons.
More than half a month later, when the last tempering and quenching was completed, Su Hao took out a long sword from the bucket.
This long sword is the result of Su Hao's hard work for more than half a month. The sword body shines with cold light, and the blade is sharp. When the palm touches it, you can feel a chill!
[Forging (Great Success 1%)]
Dive: 8 points (bone clear and unique)
When Su Hao finished forging the sword, he felt subtle changes in his body, and his mind seemed to be clearer.
In Su Hao's attribute panel, the forging skill has been fully developed, and his potential has increased by another 1 point!
"Will you let me see it?"
At this time, a voice was heard, and a dark-skinned man came over. It was Zhao Tie, the owner of Zhao's Blacksmith Shop.
"Uncle Zhao, please take a look."
Su Hao held it in his hands.
During this period of time, Su Hao used his spare time to forge weapons, and Zhao Tie naturally saw it. Now that the forging is completed, he checked Su Hao's results.
"It's heavy, and the blade is tough... Not bad, except for some details that are not quite right, it's barely at the level of a ten-level refined weapon."
Zhao Tie stroked the blade, tapping it lightly with his fingers from time to time. A hint of surprise and strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he gave his own evaluation.
Ten times of refining weapons is considered to have reached the level of qualified weapons.
Normally, a blacksmith who learned forging from scratch would have to spend several years or even more than ten years to forge a qualified ten-refined weapon.
But Su Hao created a top-grade weapon in just one year? Although there are some flaws and shortcomings, which are not satisfactory, it is Su Hao's first time to forge a weapon, so it is normal to have flaws!
Zhao Tie hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said to Su Hao: "Ah Hao, you will be a regular employee starting today. In addition to the normal treatment, you will receive a reward of 1 tael of silver for every qualified ten-refined weapon you forge."
Su Hao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. The reason why he had gone to so much trouble to forge weapons was naturally because he wanted to prove to Zhao Tie the progress of his forging skills.
Realizing that Su Hao had an extraordinary talent in forging, Zhao Tie did not hesitate to make Su Hao a regular employee and gave him the treatment of a formal blacksmith.
Every time you forge a ten-refined weapon, you will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver!
With Su Hao's physical strength, it is no problem for him to forge two or even three weapons in a month, which means he can earn at least two or three taels of silver a month! It is more than ten times better than that of a prospective blacksmith!
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I will continue to work hard!"
Su Hao thanked him.
"Congratulations!"
"Work hard now, Hao, and when you get married in the future, you can enjoy life!"
In the forging room, other blacksmiths congratulated Su Hao kindly, and some even joked with him. Su Hao thanked them one by one, thinking that this young man had great potential in the future!
Only the young man pulling the bellows lowered his head, with a hint of jealousy flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Becoming a formal blacksmith is undoubtedly a good start for Su Hao. It only took him less than a year to go from a quasi-blacksmith to a formal blacksmith. This is the change brought about by the improvement of his potential. He will become more and more evil!
"The potential value has reached 8 points. Whether it is practicing Vajra Fist or Eight-Section Brocade, the efficiency has been improved again."
A few days later, Su Hao learned Ba Duan Jin and Vajra Fist in his home yard. Sweat-stained, he was quite satisfied with his progress.
"Take a rest. It looks like it's going to rain today."
In the evening, Su Hao glanced at the gloomy sky, washed up, and went back to his room to sleep.
The night was dark, thick dark clouds covered the sky, and accompanied by rumbling thunder, heavy rain came in response.
The whole world was plunged into a misty rain and fog.
At this moment, outside the dilapidated courtyard, three men appeared in the rain, letting the rain wet their bodies.
In the center was a man with a scar on his face and a strong build.
"Brother Dao, that boy named Su Hao is not only handsome, but also has the forging skills to forge ten-refined weapons. There will definitely be people willing to pay a high price for such a talent! Tonight is a good time to take action!"
Next to the scarred man, there was a young man with a smirk on his face.
"Let's go, get it done as soon as possible."
Scarface said calmly, it was raining heavily tonight, even if some noise was made, no one would notice it, not to mention that Su Hao was an orphan, no one would care even if he disappeared!
