The sword fairy who travels through time and space

Chapter 3 Framing
Time flies like running water, and five years are fleeting.

It is now 1932, and Li Chenglong has also turned 16 years old.

In addition to body training, he studies alchemy every day. Two years ago, due to medicinal materials and strength, he had already hit a bottleneck in alchemy.

So, Li Chenglong began to study refining tools again.Strictly speaking, this is not considered a forging tool. To put it more simply, it is actually called blacksmithing.

For everything Li Chenglong did, his father Li Decai unconditionally supported him. Seeing that Li Chenglong suddenly became obsessed with blacksmithing, Li Decai bought a blacksmith shop and gave it to him without saying a word, which can be called extremely doting.

The reason why Li Chenglong studied refining weapons was that he wanted to forge a long sword for himself. The quality of long swords made by the most skilled blacksmiths in Foshan is not inferior to ordinary weapons, but it is far from being able to cut hair and cut gold. The degree of jade, this is not what he wants.

However, in this life, Li Chenglong was limited by his strength, materials and tools, and he couldn't refine even the worst primary magic weapon in the cultivation world.

But it is still easy to create a mortal weapon that cuts gold and jade.

Li Chenglong started from the fuel and the manufacturing method to improve the furnace temperature and the quality of the material. After two years of tireless research and testing, he finally refined a piece of Wandu steel, which is almost the ultimate improvement of steel.

If you want to improve the material of steel, unless it is placed in a spiritual vein, after thousands of years, the steel will become fine iron after absorbing enough spiritual energy.

Refined iron is the material commonly used in the cultivation world to refine magic tools.

Li Chenglong didn't even reach the sword body level now, even if he got a piece of fine iron, he couldn't make a weapon.

In addition to refining Wandu steel, he also optimized the quenching process and coolant.

Li Chenglong used a special potion as the coolant. When the whole sword was cooled down, the cloud pattern on the sword seemed to come alive, rippling like water waves, emitting a cold light.

Li Chenglong named it "Autumn Water", and made a scabbard made of high-quality ebony wood, with python skin as the inner lining, and the outer layer of the scabbard was plated with a layer of black gold.

After the Qiushui sword was forged, Li Chenglong's strength increased a lot. With the help of magic soldiers, he could even kill a martial arts master by surprise.

Unless the other forces were besieging him with hot weapons like guns, if they fought alone, the people in the world who could beat him could count on one hand.

In recent years, Li Decai's business has grown bigger and bigger, especially since Chen Jitang came to power, the economy of Guangdong Province has grown by leaps and bounds.

From time to time, Li Chenglong advised Li Decai to invest in other industries. Later, his business spread all over Guangdong Province, and even the Yip family, a prominent family in Foshan, also had business contacts with him.

Li Decai can be described as high-spirited, with a kind of lofty ambition to guide the country.

"Young master, someone is making trouble in our medicine store." Uncle Fu knocked on the door and said in a low voice outside the door.He watched Li Chenglong grow up, and Uncle Fu saw all the magic of this young master, and he became more and more respectful to him.

"Mmm." Li Chenglong washed himself casually in the backyard, changed into clean clothes, followed Uncle Fu out of the blacksmith shop, and Shi Shiran walked towards the pharmacy where the accident happened.

As early as a year ago, Li Decai handed over all the pharmacies in Foshan to Li Chenglong for full management. Therefore, when the pharmacies encountered problems that could not be solved, they would come to him to deal with them.

The pharmacy where the accident occurred was very close to the blacksmith's shop, only one street away, and the two arrived within less than 10 minutes after walking.

At this time, a large group of people watching the excitement surrounded the door of the drugstore, and they could hear the noisy voices inside from a long distance away.

"Everyone, please step aside!" Uncle Fu shouted in a deep voice.

The onlookers all knew Uncle Fu and knew that he was the housekeeper of the Li family, so they all backed away one after another to make way for him.

"Master, please!" Uncle Fu walked ahead to open the way for Li Chenglong, and when he reached the door, he stood aside and let Li Chenglong go ahead.

Li Chenglong didn't care about these customs, but Uncle Fu insisted on being so respectful, so he let him go.

"Why are they making trouble?" Li Chenglong asked lightly.

"He said we sell fake medicines!" A pharmacist said angrily.

"Oh? Do they have evidence?" Li Chenglong raised his eyebrows and asked.He has been running a medicine store for a year, and the source of goods is very clear, and there will never be a situation of selling counterfeit medicines.

"This is the tiger bone powder sold to me by your pharmacy, but the doctor who dispensed it said it was adulterated. I asked several pharmacies in succession, and they all said there was something wrong with the tiger bone powder." The leader of the strong man said angrily.

Li Chenglong took a closer look and found that there were indeed variegated colors in the small bag of tiger bone meal. After twisting it a bit and smelling it, he knew that it was mixed with cat bone meal.

Replacing tiger bones with cat bones is a trick often used by profiteers to fool people who don't understand medicinal materials. But when you meet a master like Li Chenglong, you can tell the difference with a little identification.

"Your bag of tiger bone powder is indeed adulterated." Li Chenglong concluded.

Hearing this, the big man immediately turned around and said to the people watching behind him: "Everyone heard it! The young master of Li's Medicine has admitted that they are selling fake medicines!"

The crowd of onlookers seemed to explode in an instant, whispering among each other.

"Li's Pharmacy actually sells fake medicines, what a profiteer with no conscience!"

"I often grab medicine at his house, it won't cause any problems!"

Words like this came out endlessly, and some of the hot-tempered ones even scolded them directly.

"Everyone be quiet! I'm just saying that the tiger bone powder in the hands of this customer is adulterated, and I didn't admit that I, Li's, are selling counterfeit medicine." Although Li Chenglong's voice was not loud, it seemed to have magical power and came clearly. in everyone's ears.

"I bought this packet of tiger bone powder from your pharmacy, and it took only an hour before and after. Do you still want to deny it?" The big man stared at his eyes the size of copper bells and asked.

Li Chenglong looked at the two guys in the store, and one of them nodded slightly at him, proving that the big man did buy the medicine from here.

After a little thought, he quickly figured out the key point.

The two gangsters who came to make trouble must have been instigated by others, and the fake tiger bone powder in their hands was indeed from Li Chenglong's medicine shop.

There are two possibilities here: First, the tiger bone powder in the pharmacy is indeed fake.This point was quickly vetoed by Li Chenglong. Tiger bone powder is not like other common medicinal materials, and the price is relatively expensive.

Unless the old Chinese doctor took advantage of it and deliberately let the fake tiger bone meal flow in.

These old Chinese doctors invited by Li Chenglong are all highly skilled and moral people, and they will never do such things that harm others and benefit themselves.

Then, there is only the second situation left, that is, the tiger bone powder of the medicine store has been adulterated.

Thinking of this, Li Chenglong went to the medicine cabinet, pulled out the drawer containing tiger bone powder, twisted out some tiger bone powder, smelled it in the palm of his hand, and found that it was indeed mixed with fake medicine.

"Old Huang, did you check all the tiger bone powder when you bought it?" Li Chenglong asked the old Chinese doctor who was frowning.

"This old man guarantees by his reputation that he has absolutely inspected all of them. Two clerks in the pharmacy can detect this level of adulteration. How could I miss it!" Huang Lao said a little excitedly, almost swearing to God.

This matter is related to his reputation. If Li Chenglong's pharmacy is convicted of selling counterfeit medicines, he will also be ruined.

"Okay, I got it. Of course, I can trust Mr. Huang's character, otherwise I wouldn't entrust the medicine shop to you." Li Chenglong smiled and comforted the excited old Chinese doctor.

After a pause, Li Chenglong's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the two clerks in the pharmacy. There seemed to be a divine light shooting out from within, as if he could see through the eyes of others and see their deepest thoughts.

This is the effect of using a little bit of his soul power. To deal with these ordinary people, it will definitely be breathtaking and make them tell the truth.

"You two, hurry up and tell the truth! Who ordered you to do this!" Li Chenglong's eyes were extremely sharp. As soon as the two guys met his eyes, their legs trembled and they knelt down on the ground in fright.

One of them, who was about 25 or [-] years old, was ashen-faced and cried in a trembling voice, "Master, I have been persecuted! If I don't agree to their demands, they will hurt my wife and children!"

"Say! Who on earth ordered the two of you to entrap me!" Li Chenglong looked at the two big men again with a trace of spiritual power.

When they first heard the clerk from the pharmacy tell the truth, they were already very flustered, and when they met Li Chenglong's eyes, they were immediately captured by him, and they couldn't help but "plop" and fell to their knees.

"Boss Liu of Rende Medicine Company ordered us to do it."

Now the truth finally came out.
