Jiang Lin unexpectedly transmigrates to the Southern Ironworks Camp of the Great Qian Dynasty, where he becomes a fire-tending apprentice.
While everyone else hones their skills one step at a time, he frantically raises his proficiency and acquires all kinds of blacksmithing skills.
[Masterful Craftsmanship: Improve Quality]
[Fluent Hammerwork: Combine Forging Techniques]
[Insight into the Subtle: Eliminate Flaws]
From apprentice to full-fledged blacksmith, then master smith, he sets the fastest promotion record in the history of the Great Qian Ironworks Camp.
From then on, many people bow with cupped hands when they see him, addressing him as Master Jiang.
He studies martial arts manuals, unlocks martial arts techniques, and creates his own moves.
[Blade Art: Shatter the Void], a blade that breaks the void and leaves no escape from a thousand calamities.
[Fist Art: The Mortal World], bearing the weight of all living things and the vicissitudes of time, a fist that can split the heavens.
He rides thousands of miles to reinforce the frontier, saves a deputy general of the border army, and slays traitors of the Daoist sects. He rises to the fourth rank and becomes Left Secretary of the Ministry of Works.
From then on, many people bow respectfully when they see him, addressing him as Lord Jiang.
Years later, he seizes the wonders of creation and forges an indestructible golden body that can withstand countless calamities.
One iron hammer crushes the heavens, one furnace burns the myriad worlds. The founding patriarch of blacksmithing stands behind him, and the gods of the celestial realm revere him.
From then on, he is honored as the Heavenly Artificer Dao Lord.
Looking back on his journey, through flashing blades and shifting fortunes, it all seems like yesterday.
Dao Lord Jiang sighs. “I'm just a blacksmith. From now on, there's no need to kneel when you speak to me.”
