Just like the various schools of thought in the human world in the main world, in this game world, all walks of life also have their own Taoist duties.
They are all software written by the sages and uploaded to the "World Network".
Latecomers only need to meet the download conditions and can directly download and use it, which is quite convenient.
Lin Qianxing thought it was a belief system at first, but now it seems that it should be closer to a humanistic practice system.
If it is faith, then believers need to provide feedback.
But Taoist priests in this world do not need to provide anything to the world.
You can just ask for it unilaterally, and there is no intention of asking you to give anything back.
Of course, from Lin Qianxing's perspective, this statement is not absolute.
The power of Taoists comes from the Infinite Venerables of Infinite Heaven.
When you use its power, you are also helping to develop its power, so perhaps the Infinite Venerables are using this method to make the information about the Tao they master more complex.
Back to business.
After discussing with Du Ji for a while, Lin Qianxing suggested that he choose Tiangongyuan.
The Taoist profession that Tiangongyuan can learn is [Craftsman Apprentice].
That is, various types of craftsmen.
Lin Qianxing's main methods lie in refining weapons, making talismans, and refining elixirs.
The medical science covered by elixirs is too complicated, and Lin Qianxing still cannot understand the nature of medicines, minerals, etc. in this world. Starting over is obviously not a small project. It is also difficult for Du Ji to learn, so he will not consider it for the time being.
Fu Lu said the same thing. The rules of each world are different. It was quite complicated for him to study it from scratch, so he had no choice but to give up.
But the aspect of weapon refining is different. The physical rules are somewhat similar, and many mechanical creations will definitely be able to be used.
As long as Lin Qianxing provided the drawings, Du Ji would probably be able to make many things just like a cat or a tiger.
Therefore, in Lin Qianxing's opinion, Tiangongyuan is the best choice.
It took almost half an hour to walk to Tiangongyuan, and after paying ten silver, Du Ji officially became a member of Tiangongyuan.
There are no restrictions on students' studies in the Academy. As long as you want to and have enough energy and money, you can study multiple Taoist professions at the same time and study in multiple academies.
Du Ji attended the first class of Tiangong Academy that day.
The lecturer is Lecturer Tan Wenhao from Tiangong Institute. He is a third-level lower-level [Mason Master].
[Artisan Apprentice] This profession is very special. It contains many things. It needs to be subdivided at the second level. After the third level, it will be officially determined whether you are a specialist or an all-rounder.
So at the beginning, they were all [Craftsman Apprentice], but later the third level would have different directions due to the craftsman skills they specialize in, such as [Carver Master], [Forger Master], [Carpenter Master], and [Mason Master].
Wait wait wait.
"Becoming a [craftsman] is a very simple thing, that is, find a skill, use it continuously, and make one object after another. This is a way to create using tools, hands and wisdom.
position"
As Tan Wenhao spoke, the stone in his hand was quickly polished into a smooth and round stone ball.
"You don't have to be obsessed with those complicated skills. Even the most basic skills can be turned into magic if you can reach the peak."
Holding the stone ball, Tan Wenhao casually placed it in the stone plate and twisted it, and it began to spin.
There was no sound during the whole process, and the stone ball seemed to be still.
This means that he polished the stone ball very smoothly, and the friction between it and the stone plate is extremely low, so there is no sound and it can rotate so fast.
The students who came to study at Tiangong Institute were more or less knowledgeable. Naturally, they all looked surprised when they saw this scene.
"The road is simple, so why search far away." Du Ji said in shock.
He was also exposed to many craftsmanship skills, and even his pens, inks, paper and inkstones were all made by himself.
Although it is barely usable, it is definitely not excellent.
Not to mention comparable to the third-level [Craftsman].
"It's purely hand-polished and can achieve such precision, which is indeed something." Lin Qianxing also praised.
After one class, Duji also had some ideas about obtaining the Taoist profession of [Craft Apprentice].
What he is hesitating about now is where to start.
"Forge weapons, I have made some achievements in this area." Lin Qianxing suggested.
"Okay." Duji nodded.
In the following days, Duji began to purchase corresponding items.
After installing all the furnaces and the like, eight silver and fifteen coppers will be lost.
It's not that he can't rent things from Tiangongyuan, but Lin Qianxing still advised him to make his own, so as to avoid trouble and make it easier to use his own things.
Then Lin Qianxing began to guide Du Ji in making his first sword in life.
"The sword is a gentleman's weapon. You are also a scholar after all, so it is necessary to show off with a better sword." Lin Qianxing said.
In the academy, many students have the habit of wearing swords. The reason why Du Ji does not have a sword is mainly because he is poor.
A better sword costs at least several hundred silver coins, and even more expensive ones can cost dozens of gold coins.
He simply can't afford it.
But now that I build it myself, that’s another story.
The only problem is that if you don't build it well, you'll feel bad.
Du Ji rolled up his sleeves, held a sledgehammer, and kept banging on the furnace in his yard, while Lin Qianxing kept correcting his mistakes beside him.
He has a "photographic memory" Taoist skill and a very strong memory. He can quickly memorize anything Lin Qianxing has corrected, so he learns quickly.
After working hard all day, until the meal Wen He brought to him at noon was cold, he finally made the first sword in his life.
It is a short sword over a foot long.
It's about two fingers wide, has no patterns, is averagely forged, and has a lot of impurities. In Lin Qianxing's eyes, this thing is just an ordinary low-grade ordinary object.
In the judgment of the game system, it has not even entered the advanced level.
[Unnamed dagger [not advanced]: An unknown dagger.]
Seeing Du Ji who was still complacent after cutting the wood several times with the dagger, Lin Qianxing felt that it was necessary to show him what real skills were.
"Boy, are you happy after forging this kind of garbage? Let me teach you what real forging and furnace burning is!" Lin Qianxing said.
Du Ji said in confusion: "Mr. Bi, do you plan to forge it yourself?"
"Why not?" Lin Qianxing said.
"No, I'm just worried that your body won't be able to withstand the fire." Du Ji said hesitantly.
"It's a joke. My soul is immortal and immortal. Although I am now a mortal body, under the protection of my soul, I can still survive all calamities." Lin Qianxing said disdainfully.
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing jumped up and stabbed the dagger he had just made in Du Ji's hand with his pen.
Du Ji reflexively raised his sword to meet him, and then a scene that shocked him happened.
Click~Clang!
Half of the sword fell to the ground, but Lin Qianxing was unscathed and returned to the forging platform lightly with the help of strength.
It was too late to feel heartbroken that the sword he had made was destroyed, and Du Ji felt his arms were numb. The shock in Duji's heart could no longer be contained.
"What are you doing standing there? Burning the stove." Lin Qianxing said.
"Hmm." Duji put half of the dagger aside, then started to light a fire in front of the stove.
"Put out the stuff."
"Inverted mold."
Under Lin Qianxing's command, Du Ji also took out a handful of iron embryos from the mold in an orderly manner.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing asked Du Ji to fix the iron embryo, and then, with an expression of shock that he didn't know how many times, he directly hit the iron embryo with his body hammer.
The high temperature on the hot iron embryo burned Lin Qianxing's body, but with the blessing of the [Eternal Self] plug-in, Lin Qianxing was unscathed. Only a little pain was transmitted to his soul, but this is a good thing.
His soul will become stronger because of this tempering.
Lin Qianxing struck the iron embryo very quickly. Although his pen body was slender and could not hit many parts at one time, the advantage was that he could better control the details.
Soon, with Du Ji's cooperation, the impurities in the iron embryo were hammered out, making it tougher and gradually turning into a sword embryo.
After quenching, the edge was polished and a wooden hilt was added.
A three-foot long sword is forged.
Lin Qianxing glanced at it and saw the introduction information of the game system.
[Unnamed Long Sword [Not Ranked]: A fairly good iron sword.]
Although it is still not advanced, at least it has a "fairly good" rating.
"Let's see how it compares with yours?" Lin Qianxing said to Du Ji.
Du Ji held the sword and swung it, making a sound of breaking through the air, and then he chopped the piece of wood that he had used to test the sword.
After lightly peeling it, it was cut into two halves.
Although he was mentally prepared to some extent, Du Ji couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He was a little ashamed. He really shouldn't be complacent about his achievements.
"Thank you, Old Bi, for your advice. I will start forging again now," Du Ji said sincerely.
"You just need to know it yourself." Lin Qianxing said, "This sword is given to you. Give it a name."
"Thank you, Mr. Bi. Let's call it [Don't be arrogant]." Du Ji looked at the iron sword and said.
Lin Qianxing was very satisfied with his attitude.
I turned around and looked at my panel properties.
There are now several more Taoist processes listed above.
[Artisan Apprentice (not employed 7/100)].
[Swordsmith (not yet inaugurated 11/100)].
[Blacksmith (not employed 4/100)].
[Former of weapons (not yet inaugurated 5/100)].
Lin Qianxing did not expect that just forging a sword would involve four Taoists at the same time.
There seems to be some overlap in their prerequisites.
But except for [Craft Apprentice] Lin Qianxing, who knew that he only needed to make enough excellent artifacts to be able to take up the job, he did not know the employment conditions for the other three Taoist positions.
However, Lin Qianxing could tell from this that there seemed to be quite a lot of Taoist data packages uploaded by the sages. As long as you knew the job requirements, becoming a Taoist should not be difficult.
But Lin Qianxing also knows that not every Taoist profession has a follow-up.
Some Taoist professions only have a first-level status, and if you want to advance to a second-level Taoist profession, they are simply gone.
If you want to keep moving forward, you need to make your own path.
Needless to say, it goes without saying how difficult it is to open a path or to just use the path that others have already taken.
So if you don't choose a good path, the road ahead suddenly cuts off, you waste a lot of time, and you don't have the talent to open a path forward, then you will probably have to stop there.
Because of this, it is very important to choose a good Taoist profession.
