"Different from soul masters, our blacksmiths' levels are only divided into eight levels. From low to high, they are blacksmith apprentice, junior blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, senior blacksmith, casting master, casting master, casting grand master, and divine craftsman.
.”
A blacksmith is in the business of forging.
Blacksmith apprentices, as the name suggests, are blacksmiths who can only forge some simple parts.
One level up is the junior blacksmith.
They can make farm tools used by farmers in farming, some daily necessities in life, and assemble some less complicated furniture.
Most of the blacksmiths Tang San saw in Notting City and Soto City were at these two levels.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun looked at Tai Tan with curiosity: "So, what level of blacksmith are you?"
"It goes without saying that Elder Taitan is the vice president of the Blacksmiths Association.
Of course he is a master craftsman, am I right?"
As he said that, Oscar hurriedly got in front of Titan, with an expression that said, "Come on, praise me, am I guessing right?"
"Yes, I am one of the three great craftsmen in the world.
The other two master craftsmen are my master, Tang San's father Tang Hao, and Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Guild."
Coincidentally, as soon as we mentioned the height of the building, we heard someone nearby shouting:
"Everyone passing by, don't miss it.
The brilliant silver armor made by the current president of the Blacksmith Association and a disciple of the King of Divine Craftsmen Lou Gao.
This is the only one, sold at a discount."
"Lou Gao?" Tai Tan looked puzzled. "Could it be that Lao Lou has encountered some difficulties recently? Why are his disciples hawking on the street?"
Everyone looked around and saw that it was a very simple-looking blacksmith shop.
In front of the door, there was a young man with no clothes on his upper body, standing there and shouting hard.
A middle-aged man who was older than him was sitting neatly aside with his eyes closed.
To their right, there was a square table with a light and luxurious armor placed on it.
I saw that the armor on the table had a bright silver metallic texture.
Each nail piece seems to be made with a special polishing technique. It looks very beautiful, but its practicality cannot be praised.
Its breast mirror is made of a piece of transparent crystal.
Under the sunlight, it refracted dazzling rays of light, attracting people around who hadn't noticed it.
"Rubbish."
Lou Gao is not only the president of the Blacksmiths Association, but also a friend of Titan.
Tai Tan didn't believe that his best friend's disciple and grandson were at this level?
I'm afraid Lou Gao's eyes are not blind. If such a disciple dares to be released, it will really embarrass their blacksmith association!
"Old man, who are you?
My teacher is a disciple of Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmiths Association, what are you talking about here?"
Tai Tan had no intention of covering up. Not only did the people around him hear it, but the shirtless man also heard it and shouted angrily.
"I didn't expect that you were shouting so hard and yet you were deaf?
I said, the armor on the table is rubbish, and the blacksmith who made it is also rubbish.
Could it be that you have any objections?"
When someone calls you "trash" to your face, no matter how well-educated you are, you may not be able to hold back your anger.
What's more, if you can cast such a work, how much better can your cultivation be?
The middle-aged man with his eyes closed finally opened his eyes, full of anger, but his eyes were filled with disdain for Titan.
As if to say - who are you to evaluate my work?
"Old man, do you also know how to cast?
Look at your clothes, it looks like you are from out of town. You know, my teacher is a disciple of the master craftsman. To insult my teacher is to insult our lineage of master craftsmen!
If you don’t apologize to my teacher today, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”
Maybe the middle-aged man felt that he would lose his status by showing up.
Or perhaps, this shirtless young man had the idea of solving the teacher's problems, so he walked directly in front of Tai Tan.
"You're welcome, just you?"
After casting a disdainful glance at the young man, Tai Tan casually stepped forward, causing the other man to take a few steps back with a look of fear on his face.
"I want to see how you can be rude to me?
Don't say anything about Lou Gao's discipleship. Even if Lou Gao stands in front of me, he still has to be polite.
You, who are you?
Brilliant silver armor?
It's just a layer of silver plated on the steel sheet, which is worthy of being called bright silver armor. It's really embarrassing to the blacksmith association and Lou Gao!"
As the vice-president of the Blacksmiths Association, Taitan was very angry when he saw that the Blacksmiths Association had such a scumbag, and exposed the other party's tricks in public.
Many of the onlookers were expert blacksmiths. After hearing what Tai Tai said, they were instantly ashamed.
Until Tai Tan pointed it out, none of them noticed that the armor plates were actually just steel plates plated with a layer of silver.
Seeing that the plan was exposed, the senior disciple finally stood up angrily:
"Why is this armor of mine trash?
Isn't it beautiful enough? Or do you think someone will wear it on the battlefield?
Where is the war now?
As a decoration, doesn’t it qualify?”
Seeing that the other party was exposed to his face, and yet he dared to quibble, Titan was on the verge of exploding:
"How funny!
Not to mention, armor is meant to protect the person wearing it from attacks.
You say it is a qualified decoration?
If you are not blind, you should be able to see that the armor plates on the armor are uneven, is this considered qualified?"
Who would have thought that after being scolded over and over again, the middle-aged man would still want to defend his behavior: "What do you, a layman, know? This was taught by my master Lou Gao."
The beauty of discord'."
"What do I know?
What a shameless statement, I don’t understand? When I was forging, you didn’t know where to play in the mud.
Lou Gao did design a piece of bright silver armor, but the metal used in that armor was a spirit-forged alloy of pure silver and wrought iron, rather than a shoddy one like yours, where the two metals were directly joined together.
product."
Tang Hao once said this to Tang San
——A divine craftsman is not a person who uses the best materials to create an artifact, but a person who creates the best materials himself and uses it to create an artifact.
It is true that a blacksmith cannot hammer "iron" into silver, nor can he directly hammer it into other metals.
However, they can rework metal.
The metal "iron" generally refers to pig iron, and its carbon content will be at least 3.5%.
During the processing process, the carbon content of "iron" will gradually decrease, and different levels of "carbon steel" will appear. When the carbon content is extremely low, "pure iron" will appear.
Pure iron is also called wrought iron.
This is true for iron, and it is true for other metals as well.
The stronger the blacksmith's ability, the stronger the means of processing metal, and the higher the blacksmith level will naturally be.
An intermediate blacksmith needs to complete at least one hundred forgings to purify a specified metal.
A senior blacksmith needs to complete at least one thousand forgings on a specified metal.
As long as they pass the assessment of senior blacksmiths, they can apply to stay in Gengxin City.
Hundreds of forgings only remove impurities inside the metal. Thousands of forgings can give life to metals.
Thousand Refinement seems to be very powerful, but it is far from the level of casting "Brilliant Silver Kai".
The materials used to cast this armor require a blacksmith who knows spiritual forging and melting forging at a higher level than Thousand Forging.
Thousands of forging creatures, giving metal spirituality.
The so-called spiritual forging is to make metals have spirituality, while melt forging is to temper at least two metals at the same time, and then form a spiritual alloy, which will have the characteristics of the first two metals at the same time.
"Liar, scum..."
What is spiritual forging alloy?
Most of the people present were the resident blacksmiths of Gengxin City, so how could they not understand?
Most of them came here because of Lou Gao's reputation, and many even planned to take advantage of the opportunity to buy back the luxurious armor.
After being reminded by Tai Tan, everyone realized belatedly that they had almost been deceived!
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
Finally, the middle-aged man who claimed to be Lou Gao's disciple, seeing that he could no longer justify himself, quickly pulled out a sharp knife from his lower back and stabbed Tai Tan's vital part fiercely.
The blade design of the cow's ear tip knife is quite similar to that of a calf's ear. The cost of making it is very low. Because of its sharpness and small size, it is suitable for carrying around and extremely concealable.
Tai Tan looks to be over eighty years old, but his soul power level is also over eighty. Without exerting pressure on others, people with weak cultivation will only think that he is an ordinary person who cannot cultivate.
To deal with a "daring" ordinary person, a weapon like the sharp knife is really suitable.
Fast, accurate and ruthless.
If Titan hadn't been an ordinary person, it might have been possible to let the other party's idea succeed.
What, you said just now, why was the Titan able to knock that shirtless young man away?
Soul master is the most noble profession on Douluo Continent, but it is not the only choice for human beings.
If you want to become a top blacksmith, you must be a powerful soul master.
However, an ordinary blacksmith only needs to ensure that his physical fitness is up to standard.
In the blacksmith industry, the vast majority are ordinary people with excellent physical fitness.
There are very few soul masters who are willing to become a blacksmith.
"Rubbish."
In the eyes of Titan——
That piece of light luxury armor is rubbish, and the blacksmith who made that light luxury armor is rubbish.
That blacksmith's cultivation is also rubbish.
That's right, the middle-aged blacksmith who was a second disciple of the building and tried to sneak attack Titan was also a soul master.
However, the other party's cultivation level was very poor in Titan's opinion.
Titan just gently touched the ground with his right foot, and then knocked the middle-aged blacksmith to the ground.
Soul power pressure?
Titan did not use soul power to coerce him. There was no need to use soul power to deal with such a person.
A top blacksmith, in addition to possessing strong cultivation, must also have excellent physical fitness.
