I Turned My Daily Skills Into Divine Ability

Chapter 20 Murderous Intent [Please read]

In the courtyard of the Wei family.

Wei Yi, who was sweating profusely from his busy work just now, was sitting under the straw mat awning, drinking the herbal tea made for him by his sister.

Shitou was bare-chested and squatted beside the blacksmith's furnace, pulling the bellows and helping Wei Yi burn fuel.

There were also beads of sweat on his forehead.

Wei Yi took out the system panel and took a look at it while drinking herbal tea.

Name: Wei Yi

Root Bone Qualifications: Very poor

Longevity: 42 years old (+35 days)

Blacksmithing Skill: Rank Two (89% proficiency short of upgrade)

Cooking Skill: Rank Three (still 95% proficiency short of upgrade)

Writing Skill: Rank Two (24% proficiency short of upgrade)

Painting Skill: Rank One (19% proficiency short of upgrade)

Carving skill: Rank One (still 99% proficiency short of upgrade)

Sculpting skills have now begun to improve.

Because not long ago, Wei Yi carved his own name seal with the word "Wei" out of a piece of red iron.

In the process, I also gained proficiency in carving.

Although his carving skill is the food carving skill he obtained when his cooking skill was upgraded to Rank Three.

But in fact, whether it is carved using food materials, wood, stone, or iron blocks, etc.

The general principles are the same, and they are all covered.

Only the engraving tools used and the engraving method will be different.

Wei Yi first used a hammer and chisel to carve out the general outline of the word Wei on the fired iron block.

The final engraving is then completed by sanding and scraping, making the lettering clear and flat.

After repeated heat treatment, it becomes an extremely hard steel seal.

This steel seal is similar to the Wang Zhu Seal issued to him by the Sword Making Division.

They are all used to carve relevant marks on the forged sword body as a logo.

Now the steel seal with the character Wei has been made.

Wei Yi is next preparing to make the first sword with the Wangzhu seal and the Wei character mark.

After a long time, Shitou finally finished burning the iron and used iron clamps to help Wei Yi place the iron on the anvil.

Wei Yi stood up again, put on his apron and gloves, took the iron clamp, picked up the hammer, and started to strike.

The sound of clanging iron echoed again.

Nowadays, Wei Yi gains more than 200 proficiency points every time he hammers iron.

The process of heat treatment will also continue to increase proficiency.

However, the total amount of proficiency required to advance to Rank One is also very high.

Therefore, the overall improvement speed has obviously slowed down a lot.

But Wei Yi is not in a hurry, after all, compared to other blacksmiths and swordsmiths.

The speed of my own improvement is already very terrifying.

In the shop in front of the courtyard, Mrs. Wei Xue had just sent away the farmers who came to buy ironware.

I saw Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin walking in with smiles on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Zhang Xingye said with a smile.

"Manager Zhang, Manager Wang, why are you here?"

"We are here to congratulate my sister-in-law!" Wang Shouyin said quickly, with flattery written all over his face.

"The good nephew is worthy of being trained by Brother Tieshan. As expected, he is better than his master. Now he has become a Ninth Grade swordsmith, and he will be great in the future.

After hearing the news today, I have been busy making swordsmith banners for my nephew. I just took the time with Lao Zhang to come over and congratulate you! "

"Yes, congratulations sister-in-law!"

"You two stewards are so polite!" Wei Xue said with a smile, but she felt quite proud in her heart.

Thinking about Wang Shouyin's face when these two people came to collect debts not long ago.

Comparing it with his current appearance, I really have to sigh, this person's face changes really quickly.

"Sister-in-law, is my nephew here?" Zhang Xingye asked.

"He's forging iron in the yard, are you here to find him?" Wei Xue said.

"Oh, that's right, we are here to give the deposit to our nephew!" Wang Shouyin said.

Wei Xue nodded: "Please come in!"

The two of them slightly cupped their hands and immediately walked into the yard through the back door of the shop.

But seeing Wei Yi who was concentrating on blacksmithing, the two of them jogged all the way to Wei Yi.

The smile on her face was bright, as if the flowers had seen the sun.

Seeing the appearance of Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin, Wei Yi stopped what he was doing in surprise and frowned slightly.

"My dear nephew, excuse me!" Zhang Xingye cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, my nephew!" Wang Shouyin also said quickly.

Seeing the two men's looks, Wei Yi understood their intentions, but said: "It's only been a few days, why are you here to ask for the bill again?"

"No, no, no, my nephew is joking. We are not here to ask for money, we are here to give money to my nephew!" Wang Shouyin had a glib smile on his face.

"Oh, you'll get a deposit, right?" Wei Yi nodded and said.

When discussing cooperation with Du Yujiang before, Du Yujiang promised to pay him a deposit.

"Yes, yes, this is a two hundred tael silver note. Please keep it, dear nephew." Wang Shouyin handed the silver note to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi took the bank note, looked at it, nodded, then looked at Zhang Xingye and Wang Shouyin and said, "I will repay the money my uncle owes you as scheduled."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, I naturally trust my nephew, that...nephew, please continue your work, and I won't disturb you anymore. I'll take my leave now!" Wang Shouyin smiled sarcastically.

He knew that Wei Yi must be angry, after all, what he did that day was not authentic enough.

It is naturally impossible for Wei Yi to eliminate the knot in his heart all at once.

"Go slowly, I won't send you far!" Wei Yi cupped his hands.

Wang Shouyin and Zhang Xingye also clasped their fists at the same time, and then walked into the store again.

Watching the two people leave, Wei Yi put the banknote away and continued to blacksmith.

…

In Liu's house, Liu An reported the news to Liu Fugui.

"In other words, it was not the Wei family that invited the prefect, but Du Yujiang?"

"Yes, Du Yujiang also did his best to help Wei Yi because Sword Peak Tower poached all the Ninth Grade swordsmiths they cooperated with," Liu An continued.

"I just said, how could the Wei family invite the prefect? ​​But I didn't expect that Wei Tieshan's nephew turned out to be a swordsmith." Liu Fugui narrowed his eyes, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Hmph, if Wei Yi dies, the relationship between Du Yujiang and the Wei family will naturally cease to exist. Without Du Yujiang's help, Master Li will no longer be involved in this matter."

"Master, do you want to... get rid of Wei Yi?" Liu An lowered his voice.

"That's right, go to Black Wind Mountain Village and invite their people over. As long as you get rid of Wei Yi, money is not a problem. But remember to make sure they do it cleanly and leave no traces.

Now that Wei Yi has become a swordsmith, his status is different. If he is killed, the swordsmith will definitely ask the Yamen to investigate thoroughly, so we have to be concealed enough to never reveal the slightest trace of anything. "

"By the way, it's best for them to blame Sword Peak Tower for this matter. The two families are fighting so fiercely now. The county government will definitely suspect that Sword Peak Tower has murderous motives." Liu Fugui suddenly said again.

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely handle the matter flawlessly." Liu An said with his hand.
