Immortal Refiner

Juyan City, Luoshi Street.

No one noticed that there was suddenly a blacksmith shop on this street.

Ding Dingdangdang, accompanied by the sound of metal knocking, Li Qing put the forged farm tool cutters and simple weapons on the shelves.

When he first arrived, Li Qing still habitually opened a blacksmith shop and temporarily hid in the city.

The shop was bought by Miao Qi for him. Although Juyan City is the largest city in the Black Wind Region, the population is still not large.

There are still a considerable number of vacant buildings in the city. It doesn't cost much to buy a shop as a blacksmith shop.

The ordinary weapons and farm tool cutters on the shelves gave Li Qing about a year and a half of life.

After finishing all this, Li Qing had nothing to do and was free all of a sudden.

Taking advantage of the free time, he hurriedly practiced the shadow-seeking footwork he had just learned.

This light skill, combined with the light leg, does have some unexpected effects. He does not need to deliberately train the blood and qi of his legs.

Having practiced the light leg, he has the foundation to learn this light skill directly.

Combined with Li Qing's current level of internal strength master, he can temporarily control the blood and qi of the whole body, and the progress of this light skill has become very fast.

In this way, while practicing light skills, he passively collected information in the city, and time passed quickly.

...

In Giant Rock City, in addition to the two top forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce, there are still many large and small gangs.

For example, the street where Li Qing is located is the territory of a gang called Sand Crocodile Gang. Every time the rye mushroom matures, his shop has to pay some food to this gang, or two coins.

It's not much, Li Qing has no opinion at all. As long as the members of the Sand Crocodile Gang come to collect money, he will give it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, what surprised Li Qing was that even though there were many gangs, Giant Rock City was as quiet as a stagnant pool of water.

The expected gang wars and territorial grabbing never happened.

The two top forces, the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce and the City Lord's Mansion, were also at peace. The relationship between them was surprisingly good, and there was no dispute at all.

This made Li Qing a little helpless. If the days really continued to be so peaceful, wouldn't he really be a blacksmith here?

"Is this Red Fish Chamber of Commerce really just an ordinary chamber of commerce? Then why do they keep collecting wild beasts from the Sunshine Age..."

Li Qing muttered to himself, his eyes flickering slightly.

Of course, what he cared about most was the novel species of armored pigs.

He didn't believe that the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce collected wild beasts to ensure the integrity of the species. Who would do such a thing in this world?

After waiting for almost a month, Giant Rock City, which was like a stagnant pool of water, finally made some different noises.

On this day, many members of the Sand Crocodile Gang came to Li Qing's blacksmith shop.

"Master Li, how are you doing these days? Is your business going well?"

Several young men with ruffian faces walked into Li Qing's shop, and Li Qing recognized them at a glance. They were the gangsters of the Sand Crocodile Gang.

For these ruffians who only know a few tricks, Li Qing looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.

But he still had to pretend: "Hey, thanks to you, I can barely make a living."

"I remember it seems that it's not time to pay the fee yet, why are you here?"

The next words of the ruffians made Li Qing's heart move slightly.

"Hehe, I'm not here to collect money, I'm here to do business with you today."

"That's right, our Sand Crocodile Gang is going to order a batch of ironware from you."

Li Qing said calmly: "Oh? What kind of ironware is it and what is it used for?"

"Bring it up and show it to Master Li." The leader waved his hand.

Soon, a rusty, tattered trap was placed in front of Li Qing.

It can be seen that this trap is a bit old, covered with dust and difficult to identify.

"How about it, Master Li, do you recognize this thing? This thing is called a trap. Can you make it?" The leader looked at Li Qing expectantly.

And Li Qing's answer certainly did not disappoint him. He said: "Well, it shouldn't be difficult to see the structure. I can try and I should be able to make it."

Hearing this assurance, the people of the Sand Crocodile Gang immediately said with satisfaction: "I said that this newly opened blacksmith shop is definitely good at it. It is not like the blacksmiths in other streets who can only forge farm tools."

"Master Li, please give us a price. We need about ten such traps. Can you make it cheaper?"

Make a price?

Li Qing did not have any sense of identity with this group of blood-sucking worms who lived on protection fees. He immediately said, "Counting the loss of trying to make it, um... 15 coins each!"

He did not raise the price too much, just raised the price a little bit.

He added the loss of trying to make it, and charged them a total of 150 coins. This is not a small amount of money. It can barely buy a armored pig sold by the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce.

The people of the Sand Crocodile Gang hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

"Okay, this is the price. When you are done, notify us to come and pick it up. Try to be as fast as possible!"

After that, the people of the Sand Crocodile Gang left Li Qing's blacksmith shop.

Li Qing watched their backs leave, his eyes flickering for a while.

"Making animal traps? Do you want to go hunting?"

There is a stable supply of armored pigs in the city. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is definitely a good source of meat.

It costs 150 coins to order a batch of animal traps. This initial investment is not small.

You should know that the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce only spends about 300 to 400 coins on average to purchase a Sunshine Age beast.

If it doesn't catch anything, it will be a pure loss. After all, this animal trap is not a value-preserving item and will rust and break!

Just when Li Qing was about to find out what happened in the city recently, someone came to his blacksmith shop that surprised him.

Miao Qi walked in excitedly, and he said, "Brother Li, our gang leader recently wrote to me. He asked me to stay in Giant Rock City and cooperate with all your actions. Just tell me what you need to do."

Li Qing looked at Miao Qi with some surprise, and then laughed immediately.

It's just right that someone sent me a pillow when I was sleepy.

"Just right, can you get some information? Recently, the Sand Crocodile Gang asked me to order a batch of traps. Help me find out their purpose."

"Remember to be smart and don't be too deliberate."

Miao Qi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

After saying that, he quickly left the blacksmith shop, and his body was still shaking slightly when he left.

Could it be that... the gang leader decided to extend his hands and feet to Giant Rock City?

At the beginning, Li Qing plotted to take over the Yan family and took over the entire Obsidian City for the Righteous Gang. He was very familiar with this matter.

Could it be that he finally had the opportunity to participate in such an important operation?

Thinking of this, Miao Qi clenched his fists, as if he saw the bright road that belonged to him in the future.
