Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Everything needed for the letter has been prepared.

The materials are quite simple, such as candles, salt, porcelain cups, wire, etc.

Chu Caiwei took a deep breath, her cute face becoming very serious.

Alchemy is not something that ordinary people can get involved in, let alone a seventh-grade feng shui master.

She wouldn't have tried it if the letter hadn't been so detailed.

Following the first step described in the letter, Chu Caiwei slowly sat up.

She dissolved coarse salt in water, stirred it, covered the mouth of the cup with raw Xuan paper, and then slowly poured it in.

After filtering, place the porcelain cup over a candle to heat it, stirring constantly.

Before long, the salt water had evaporated, leaving some white crystals in the porcelain cup.

The letter refers to this substance as sodium chloride.

Chu Caiwei didn't quite understand, but she still continued to follow the steps in the letter.

She took the feng shui compass from her waist, fiddled with it a few times with her slender fingers, and channeled qi into it.

On the feng shui compass, the character "fire" lights up.

Instantly, a bright, blinding tongue of fire shot out and engulfed the porcelain cup!

In just a moment, Chu Caiwei stopped what she was doing, then fiddled with the feng shui compass, lighting up the character "thunder".

The letter said that the power of lightning should be carefully controlled and not made too strong!

Chu Caiwei carefully controlled her qi, releasing only a few arcs of electricity!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

As the electric arc enters the porcelain cup, the molten sodium chloride immediately undergoes a violent chemical reaction.

Chu Caiwei immediately stopped 89 actions 396, (four) (four) 60 and then peeked out.

She saw a gleaming silvery metal lump at the bottom of the porcelain cup!

"It's done?!"

Chu Caiwei's eyes lit up with excitement!

The letter said that if it failed, one could try a few more times.

I can't believe I succeeded on my first try!

Could it be that I am a genius in alchemy?!

Yang Yan and the Prefect of Kyoto saw Chu Caiwei laughing excitedly and both came over.

Yang Yan took out the porcelain cup and nodded, saying, "This thing looks extremely similar to silver; it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing!"

"There is indeed a difference in weight!"

After weighing it in his mind, the Prefect of Kyoto nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed much lighter. If this is what was being transported, it makes much more sense!"

However, the governor of Kyoto slowly frowned again.

"Even if this thing replaced the tax silver, how do you explain the explosion under the bridge?!"

Chu Caiwei waved the letter in her hand and laughed loudly, "I'll do it!"

"You all stand back!"

Chu Caiwei took the metal block from the Prefect of Kyoto and casually tossed it into a water glass beside her.

"boom!"

A fierce flame erupted, followed by billowing smoke!

The Prefect of Kyoto and Yang Yan both stared in shock at the still-lingering black smoke ahead!

This... is the reason for the explosion!

They were misled from the very beginning!

The eerie wind and the sudden explosion led everyone to believe that it was the work of a demon.

In reality, it was to cover up traces of human intervention!

They focused their investigation on hunting down the monster, but naturally came up empty-handed.

All three of them looked at Xu Lingyue, who was standing to the side.

The tax fraud case... it's solved just like that?!

Chapter 7 Who?! Lingyue solved the case?! [Seeking flowers and monthly tickets]

"Good good!"

Of the three, the happiest was none other than the Prefect of Kyoto.

If I can solve the tax silver case, I won't have to worry about being held accountable. I might even be praised by His Majesty, and I won't have to worry about the capital inspection anymore.

They now know the truth about the tax fraud case.

Next, it's simply a matter of arresting and apprehending people!

"It seems they have already switched the silver. The tax silver has been transferred from the treasury to the capital, and many officials have been involved. We must report this to His Majesty immediately."

Yang Yan, standing to the side, had a different opinion and said coldly, "The tax silver was escorted to the capital and changed hands layer by layer. If it were fake, it would have been discovered long ago."

"So it's highly likely that the switch was only recently made."

The governor of Kyoto's eyes lit up.

Doesn't this greatly narrow down the scope of the investigation?

"Men, prepare the sedan chair quickly! This official is about to travel!"

The Kyoto Prefect rushed out of the inner hall in a hurry!

Seeing that the truth had come to light, Yang Yan left the capital and returned to Haoqi Tower to report the matter to his adoptive father.

Chu Caiwei was the most excited of the three.

There is no other reason.

He actually completed the alchemy on his own, and succeeded on the first try!

It looks like she'll be able to advance to a sixth-grade alchemist soon.

"Hello, Xu Lingyue."

Who gave you this letter?

Chu Caiwei excitedly approached Xu Lingyue.

The person who wrote this letter must have been a master alchemist!

It's amazing that salt can be used to refine silver!

Oh no, it's metallic sodium.

Xu Lingyue looked at the letter in Chu Caiwei's hand and hesitated for a moment.

It's already a great blessing that Brother Su can help the Xu family.

I can't let him out!

However, Xu Lingyue couldn't think of an excuse for the time being, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

Chu Caiwei saw Xu Lingyue looking down at Princess Jin Ling in her arms and immediately understood.

It turned out to be the case.

It was Huaiqing who told her!

As for where Huaiqing found out, is there any need to guess?

It must be Teacher Jianzheng!

After all, Huaiqing was also a disciple of Master Jianzheng.

Teacher Jianzheng is truly despicable!

He possessed such alchemical secrets, yet he didn't tell Huaiqing about them while he was investigating the case!

Chu Caiwei immediately became furious.

Before Xu Lingyue could come up with an excuse, the girl in the yellow dress in front of her stormed off.

Xu Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief as she watched them all leave.

The Xu family... should be alright now.

Xu Lingyue couldn't help but feel admiration and gratitude for Su Nan!

Brother Su... truly a celestial being descended from heaven!

He was in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district) and had never even been to the scene, yet he was able to solve the tax fraud case based solely on the case files!

Even the most senior night watchman, the one with the golden gong, couldn't do this.

"Brother Su..."

Xu Lingyue gently hugged the files and gold token in her arms, overjoyed.

……

Haoqi Tower.

Yang Yan rushed back to the night watchman's office and went to the top floor of Haoqi Tower to meet his adoptive father, Wei Yuan, and report what had happened in the capital city.

Standing beside Wei Yuan was a woman dressed in golden armor, with a heroic appearance.

After hearing what Yang Yan said, Wei Yuan remained calm, but the woman was somewhat surprised.

"Godfather, I never imagined that this tax fraud case was actually deliberate."

"No wonder we couldn't find any trace of the monster no matter how we investigated."

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Something unusual must be going on."
