Five kinds of medicine in another world

"Chief Jiang, can I interrupt you?"

Gu Shijiu suddenly thought of something and asked weakly.

"call."

Jiang Li took a deep breath, looked at Gu Shijiu, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said softly:

"This must be Mr. Gu, right? Feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Gu Shijiu was not surprised when he saw Jiang Li's expression changing as fast as turning pages of a book. After all, it was impossible for him, the lord of a county, not to have this ability.

Gu Shijiu looked at Jiang Li and said:

"May I ask County Magistrate Jiang, does a spirit weapon master need to refine the evil-suppressing sword in one go? Can there be a pause in between?"

Jiang Li looked at Gu Shijiu in confusion, as if wondering why Gu Shijiu asked this question.

After thinking it over, he still couldn't figure it out, but he still told Gu Shijiu in a friendly manner:

"Of course you can. You can pause after each step."

"It's just that the spiritual weapon masters have memorized a set of processes and like to complete them in one go. Therefore, most spiritual weapon masters don't like to stop in the middle of forging."

"Except for refining high-level spiritual tools, which is time-consuming and laborious, I will stop to rest halfway to ensure that I am in the best condition."

Jiang Li finished speaking in one breath and asked Gu Shijiu:

"Why are you asking this, little brother Gu? Are you interested in a spiritual weapon master? Haha, then you can ask my second and third brothers. If you do have talent, they can accept you as their apprentice."

"To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to regard my Jiang Mansion as the number one holy place for spiritual weapon masters in the world. If you want to be a spiritual weapon master, this is the best place."

Jiang Li said this with some pride and looked at Gu Shijiu who was thinking.

Gu Shijiu thought for a moment, then asked Jiang Li:

"Then, County Magistrate Jiang, do you know how many steps there are to forging the Evil-Suppressing Sword?"

Jiang Li was feeling a little impatient but didn't show it. Just as he was about to respond, he was interrupted by Jiang Wenming's sudden voice.

"Nineteen, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Wenming interrupted Gu Shijiu in confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay, Elder Jiang, just tell me."

Gu Shijiu was still asking.

Although Jiang Wenming had not spent a long time with Gu Shijiu, he felt that although Gu Shijiu was young, he was experienced in his work.

He would never speak without purpose. Although he was impatient, he still patiently preached:

"I will answer you. There are seven steps to forging the Evil-Suppressing Blade."

"First, use fire to refine the impurities in the evil-suppressing iron and make it into real evil-suppressing iron."

"Second, liquefy the evil-suppressing iron."

"Third, add various auxiliary materials, including cinnabar and so on."

"Fourth, pour the evil-suppressing iron liquid into the mold."

"Five, forge the evil-suppressing iron into shape."

"Six, engrave the spiritual text."

"Seven, sharpen the blade into a knife."

"These are the seven steps, absolutely correct. Nineteen, what on earth are you going to do?"

Gu Shijiu was still keeping everyone in suspense and said to everyone:

"I've thought of a way to speed up the refining process a lot. Do you want to try it tomorrow?"

"What's the solution? Why don't you tell us so we can take it as a reference?"

Jiang Wenming asked anxiously, somewhat impatiently.

"Let's have a good rest tonight, and gather together tomorrow morning to see if my method works?"

Gu Shijiu said to Jiang Wenming.

"this?"

Jiang Wenming couldn't make a decision and turned to look at Jiang Liming and Jiang Li.

Jiang Liming thought it was ridiculous and was about to shake his head to refuse, but he saw his elder brother Jiang Li asked:

"King Du Biao, what do you mean? You were the one who ordered this batch of goods. We're asking for your opinion."

Jiang Liming immediately understood what his elder brother meant and stopped what he was about to say.

"If we don't stop work, how confident are we that we can complete the task within ten days?"

Du Sha asked back.

Jiang Li was not sure either, so he turned around and discussed with the other two brothers for a moment before giving an answer.

"Lord Du Biao, at our speed, it is impossible to complete it in ten days. It would normally take a month, but now it will take at least twenty days, so it won't take more than a day."

Jiang Li said confidently.

"Then, Magistrate Jiang, do you think we can reach Zhenxie County in three or four days?"

Du Sha asked again.

"Impossible. King Du Biao, it would take you six days to get from here to Zhenxie County on your fourth-rank dragon-headed horse, not to mention the convoy."

Jiang Li said it bluntly.

"Okay, in that case, I will now give this batch of goods to Nineteen. Nineteen, whatever you say is fine. Your opinion represents the opinion of our Hengdao Escort Agency."

Du Sha said in a decisive tone.

Jiang Li seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and when he heard Du Sha say this, he immediately echoed:

"Okay, from today on, we will all build according to your requirements. Now, immediately, tell all the spirit weapon masters to rest. I will come to gather early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, young master."

Old Liu nodded in response, turned around and told everyone to rest.

Jiang Wenming was a little anxious and shouted to Gu Shijiu:

"Nineteen, do you know what you are doing?!"

"I know, don't worry, I'll see Great Elder Ha Jiang tomorrow."

After saying that, Gu Shijiu took Du Sha and returned to his residence.

Along the way, Du Sha didn't ask a single question.

Along the way, Gu Shijiu didn't say a word.

The next day, early morning.

When Gu Shijiu arrived, this small South Courtyard was already full of people.

Du Sha and dozens of other people from the Hengdao Escort Agency came.

The three brothers of the Jiang family, along with more than 200 spiritual weapon masters and several hundred spiritual weapon apprentices, were already waiting here.

Jiang Li shouted loudly:

"Now everyone, please follow Gu Xiaoyou's instructions. If anyone doesn't cooperate, don't blame me, Jiang Li, for being ruthless."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Nineteen quietly.

Gu Nineteen looked at everyone and ordered loudly:

"Those who are good at forging and extracting impurities need to stand in front of the earth fire furnace. We need one hundred people, preferably those who are strong and healthy."

Under Jiang Wenming's adjustment, one hundred people slowly stood up and stood in front of the underground furnace.

"Fifty people who are good at liquefying evil-suppressing iron will come, one for each of the two earth furnaces."

Another fifty people stepped forward and stood at the liquefied position.

"Fifty apprentices will be enough to take charge of the third step, adding auxiliary materials."

"Another fifty apprentices will be responsible for the fourth step, pouring into the mold."

"Fifty apprentices, responsible for the fifth step, forging into shape."

"Fifty spiritual weapon masters are responsible for the sixth step, engraving spiritual texts."

"Fifty apprentices, responsible for sharpening the blades."

Gu Shijiu arranged the personnel and looked at the stunned Jiang family members and said:

"My arrangement is correct, right? I have already asked for details. Extracting impurities is the slowest, so a spirit master is needed. Liquefaction and spiritual writing are slightly faster, and they also require a spirit master. Apprentices can learn the other steps, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

Jiang Wenming thought for a moment and said, "I always feel like something is wrong, but when I think about it carefully, it seems like there is nothing wrong."

"Then, let's get to work!"

Gu Nineteen shouted loudly.

Hearing Gu Shijiu's call, I remembered what Jiang Li had just said.

Everyone did not hesitate and immediately started working enthusiastically.
