Chapter 9 Liu's Blacksmith Shop

As the Five Animals Exercises reached the third level, a new prompt appeared on the panel.

Looking at the prompt on the panel, Qin Jiang did not hesitate and said "yes" in his mind.

[Insufficient potential points, unable to deduce. ]

? ? ?

He looked at the prompt on the panel with some doubts. Why are you asking me if it's insufficient?

His consciousness fell on the prompt, and he subconsciously learned that in order to deduce martial arts, he needed potential points equivalent to the highest level of martial arts experience.

In other words, if he wanted to deduce the Five Animals Exercises, he would need to consume 1.2 potential points.

Still a little short.

He remembered the potential points he got from the statue of the Yellow Goddess during the day.

What exactly is the similarity between it and the tombstone?

The next morning, Liu's Blacksmith Shop in the north of the city.

Qin Jiang stood outside the blacksmith shop. This was the best blacksmith shop in the north of the city.

Last night in the restaurant, he heard those people say that the county lieutenant led his troops to Dahei Mountain, which gave him a sense of crisis.

In the past, even if there were some missions out of the city, they were basically handled by the Red Tiger Gang.

After all, the number of people in the Red Tiger Gang is much larger than that of the county soldiers.

And if the county soldiers are dispatched, even if they are led by a person of high position and power like the county lieutenant, it means too much.

This means that the Red Tiger Gang may no longer have the ability to solve a certain problem!

After all, although the county lieutenant himself may not be the opponent of the Red Tiger Gang leader, the individual combat power of the county soldiers is much stronger than that of the Red Tiger Gang, not to mention the use of battle tactics and battle formations.

Coupled with the advantages of armor and weapons, it can be said that a group of ten county soldiers is enough to defeat a hundred people in the Red Tiger Gang.

Huh~~ It's a troubled time.

Lifting the curtain and walking into the blacksmith shop, there are several rows of shelves, and there is no place for iron forging. There are only a few people who look like servants wiping various iron products.

Most of them are farm tools and jewelry, and no weapons are seen.

A leading servant came over, looked at Qin Jiang's neat black cloth, threw the rag in his hand over his shoulder, and bent down slightly, "Master, what do you want?"

"Knife." Qin Jiang said.

The servant's eyes lit up slightly. On weekdays, those who came here were those who bought farm tools, and there were not many who wanted knives. They were basically gang disciples.

But don't say it, looking at this person's dress, it's really possible.

"Okay, master, please follow me."

The two walked past the first few rows of shelves and came to the back, where various types of knives were placed, including ring-headed knives, short knives, horizontal knives, etc.

"Master, take a look, is there anything that suits your taste?" The servant asked with a smile.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly and picked up a horizontal knife at random. The blade was about two feet long.

He weighed the blade and shook his head, "It's a bit light."

Then he stretched out his finger and flicked the blade lightly, and a tremor sounded.

"The strength is poor." He said.

Now he has a strong sense of perception. Just by the tremor just now, he can judge that the texture of this knife is a little uneven. It's okay for ordinary use, but if it encounters high-intensity combat, it may not last long.

The servant next to him smiled, with a hint of sarcasm, "Master, you probably don't know that these knives are all made by our boss himself, which are much better than those farm tools.

On weekdays, to be honest, not many people can afford them. It is indeed rare in the market."

I don't know where this ignorant person came from. He actually said that our Liu family's knives are not good?

Do you know that our Liu family is an old brand that has been passed down for hundreds of years!

Qin Jiang smiled when he heard the words. Of course, he heard what the servant meant, "How much is this knife?"

The servant bent down slightly, "Thank you, one hundred and sixty coins."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, then closed his eyes slightly, and gently stroked the blade with his fingertips. The subtle vibration was transmitted to his ears along his fingertips.

Suddenly, an abrupt sound sounded in the rhythmic tremor.

He suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at a certain point in the middle of the blade.

Bang~~~

With a rapid tremor, the blade suddenly broke, and half of the blade was inserted into the ground like an arrow, and the tip of the blade was three fingers deep in the ground!

Hiss~

The servant next to him was frightened by this sudden scene and took a few steps back, looking at the half of the blade stuck in the ground with shock.

This. This. This is a knife made by the boss himself, how could it be broken by someone's finger? !

He raised his head and looked at Qin Jiang, the sarcasm in his eyes had long disappeared, and he became cautious, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Even if I buy this knife, is there a better one?" Qin Jiang asked.

The servant nodded repeatedly, "Hey, wait a moment, Master, I'll go and invite the boss!"

After speaking, he ran straight to the backyard, and soon, he led a young man in.

The young man was wearing a sky-blue costume, and he looked refined and elegant. He didn't look like a blacksmith at all, but rather a scholar.

However, his exposed hands were faintly black, and it was obvious that he had practiced some kind of hand skills.

Come to think of it, to be able to support a blacksmith shop in the outer city, he must have some special skills.

The man in the costume walked closer and saw the half blade stuck on the ground at a glance, and his eyes trembled slightly.

Almost all the knives here were made by him. Although they were not his masterpieces, they were also top-notch in the outer city.

He could break the blade with one finger. This young man who looked a little younger than himself must be a real warrior!

If so, maybe

Immediately, he smiled, "My dear little brother, since this knife is not good, how can I charge you for it?

I am the owner of this blacksmith shop, Liu Yize of the Liu family. Please follow me to the backyard. I have some ordinary weapons for you to appreciate!"

Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

"Please!" Liu Yize said with a smile.

The two came to the backyard and walked directly into the workshop where weapons were forged. As soon as they entered the house, they felt a wave of heat coming towards them.

The sound of hammering continued, and several strong men raised their hammers and dropped them heavily, accompanied by sparks.

Qin Jiang undressed, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and smooth arms, which made Liu Yize on the side look at him slightly.

He also took off his outer clothes, revealing the jacket inside. His arms were very strong, a circle larger than Qin Jiang's. Just by slightly clenching his fists, his veins bulged.

"Come, please come this way!" Liu Yize raised his hand inside.

After passing through the inner hall, the two came to a warehouse, where various iron blanks were piled everywhere, and two fine iron racks were leaning against the corner.

"Brother, look, this is the treasure of my Liu family! Although it is not a magic weapon, it is the top of ordinary weapons in terms of materials and forging technology!"

Liu Yize spoke with a bit of pride in his words. His Liu family's experience of more than a hundred years is naturally enough to look down on the outer city.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the iron rack. There were not only various knives, but also axes and swords, and even half a gun body.

The half gun body was about ten feet long, and the tail was a threaded structure. It only needed another iron rod and a little combination to become a battlefield killing weapon.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile. If it was placed before the chaos, this half gun body alone would be enough to put Liu Yize in jail.

This Liu family, it seems, is not a good person.

"Haha, brother, don't be surprised. The county government has already allowed the casting of weapons. Except for the private manufacture of armor, spears and axes are no longer a big deal.

Sometimes, officials in the county government will ask me, Liu, to customize weapons." Liu Yize said with a smile.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly and walked forward to choose a knife.

Soon, he picked up a horizontal sword.
