Immortality Martial Arts: Starting from the Sword Drawing Technique

"It's good to charge by the piece. This way, you can work more if you want to make money. When you don't want to work, you can still have time to pick ginseng!"

Lin Bei's goal is to become the signature forger of [Dali Blacksmith Shop], so that he can have more freedom and more choices!

However, now we have to complete the casting of a sophisticated weapon before it can pass Jiang Dali's assessment!

When the materials were delivered, Lin Bei stood in front of his blacksmith's furnace, shirtless, revealing his strong body, with well-defined muscles and smooth and natural lines.

"Hey! Hey!"

With loud shouts, the sledgehammer in his hand was hammered down one after another. Sweat dripped down, and the iron block was beaten out of shape.

Fold and forge again!

However, fold it again and keep forging!

There was a continuous tinkling sound.

After repeating this for dozens of times, the impurities are removed and the iron block becomes as red as fire!

This process lasted for several days. Lin Bei didn't know how many hammers he swung. A rough estimate was that there should be tens of thousands of hammers!

For an ordinary person, his arm would have been disabled by swinging the hammer so frequently, but Lin Bei didn't feel much except for being a little tired.

After practicing the Spiritual Ginseng Kung Fu for two hours, you can be resurrected with full blood!

Throwing, quenching, polishing...

Different from the sword-making in the previous life, in order to forge higher-quality swords in this world, some special ores will be added, ores that are unique to this extraordinary world.

Such swords are sharper, harder, and more flexible than ordinary swords!

Naturally, the method is more complicated.

A series of operations require not only strength, but also skills. Only a highly skilled caster cannot do it.

Ten days later.

"Good! What a fine sword!"

Jiang Dali held the sword in both hands and looked at it carefully, shocked.

"I didn't expect that I actually asked you to forge an excellent weapon! Although there are still some flaws, I think it's because the technique is not proficient enough. I just need to forge a few more pieces and I think I can make up for it..."

A fine weapon costs at least ten taels of silver.

In his blacksmith shop, there are only four people who are capable of forging sophisticated weapons, and they are all regarded as his signature facades.

Now, with the addition of one more person, his blacksmith shop is full of talents!

He was very satisfied with this!

In this way, Lin Bei became one of the signature casters of [Dali Blacksmith Shop], charging by the number of pieces and accepting customizations!

The starting income for a weapon is 2 taels of silver. If you can receive a custom order and complete the casting, you can even receive a high reward of 7 or 8 taels of silver for a weapon.

"That is to say, the price is between two and eighty taels of silver!"

Lin Bei still feels good.

Divided in half, if one piece can earn five taels of silver, casting three weapons in a month is equivalent to fifteen taels of silver.

After one year, I can have one hundred and fifty taels of silver!

Excluding expenses, if you work for a little more than a year, you can afford a 20-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng!

"After all, blacksmithing seems not as unprofitable as imagined!"

Lin Bei's eyes shone as he raised his head and calculated his annual salary.

It feels like quite a lot!

Of course, he also knew that he must be imagining things.

The algorithm is wrong.

There are very few big companies that customize weapons. After all, they are expensive and rely on luck. It is probably rare to encounter a few all year round.

Therefore, the bulk of the orders are still for the weapons required by [Dali Blacksmith Shop].

It would be good to have seven or eight taels of silver a month. Ten taels of silver would only be possible if your business is booming!

…

The snow melts, the grass and trees sprout new buds, the frozen lake flows again, and the breath of spring envelopes the earth.

Adhering to the concept of "the person who collects ginseng gathers the soul of ginseng, and the person who collects ginseng is the best person", Lin Bei went to the mountain six times in one month.

They returned six times without success, not a single ginseng hair was found, and they only brought back a few pheasants that had been growing for two and a half years.

This made him somewhat embarrassed.

In a month, he only made a fine sword, which was equivalent to a month's work in vain, excluding the cost of running in the mountains.

"It's better to stay in the blacksmith shop and make iron for a month!"

Lin Bei sighed.

These are just words of frustration. The blacksmith shop's business has been average during this period, and the demand is not great.

The forged weapons are worth ten or twenty taels. If you forge three fine weapons in a month, you will only earn six or seven taels of silver.

Lin Bei, who is used to making quick money, really feels a little too little!

If you continue like this, it will take more than two years to afford a 20-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng.

Therefore, he decided to go up the mountain to try his luck again and see if he could pick another 20-year-old ginseng.

It's a pity that there is not even a hair on it!

"My benefactor, don't be depressed. Ginseng harvesting depends on the weather. If you are lucky, you will make a fortune. If you are unlucky, you will naturally get nothing. It is normal to have no harvest for a month."

Lao Li also went up the mountain several times, mainly because of Lin Bei's face, so he brought his two sons to act as guides.

However, even though he has lived in Changyin Mountain for decades and has rich experience in picking ginseng, he still has little harvest despite average luck.

But as an old ginseng picker, he thinks this is normal.

"Do you know where there are traces of strange beasts?"

Lin Bei shook his head and asked suddenly.

"Exotic beast?"

Old Li was stunned for a moment, then asked: "My benefactor, do you want to hunt exotic animals?"

"Hunting exotic beasts is more dangerous. Even the lowest-strength alien beasts are comparable to fourth- and fifth-level Qi and blood warriors and should not be underestimated."

"There are quite a few warriors in the city who make a living by hunting exotic beasts, but they all form hunting teams, relying on their numerical advantage and setting traps to hunt ferocious exotic beasts..."

Old Li Tou directly introduced the knowledge he learned.

About how to form a team, how to set up traps, the living habits of various strange animals, and so on.

Although it may not be accurate, it does contain a lot of information.

I have to say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Knowing such a reliable old man also solved a lot of inconveniences for Lin Bei.

His understanding of Changsheng Town is far less profound than that of Old Li Tou. He has been practicing hard for many years. He only occasionally went to Goulan to listen to music and inquired about some information as a child. He did not know enough about many aspects.

Continuing to listen to Old Li Tou's introduction, Lin Bei gained a more comprehensive understanding of hunting exotic beasts.

After Old Li Tou finished talking about this, he added: "As for the traces of strange beasts, I know a few things, but there may not be any strange beasts left!"

Changyin Mountain is very big, but after decades of collecting ginseng in the mountain, Old Li Tou naturally knows many areas very well.

Among them, there are many areas where strange beasts are found.

However, he usually keeps this information in his mind to avoid danger and does not dare to influence the other party's ideas.

"very good!"

Lin Bei showed an interested look, and then asked: "I want to try hunting exotic animals. I wonder if you would like to come together?"

Hunting exotic animals is extremely dangerous. Old Li Tou, an experienced old man, knows some ways of setting traps, which can be of great help to him.

"Hunt exotic beasts!"

Li Fei and Li Xin's eyes were bright, and they were a little ready to make a move.

The two of them were young and enthusiastic, so they naturally preferred hunting exotic animals to gathering ginseng.

However, they were too weak before, and even if they could lay traps, they were still extremely dangerous.

"this……"

Old Li Tou hesitated.
