My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Tianxuan Continent.

Qingyun Sect.

The name sounds nice, but it's actually just a few dilapidated temples on a remote mountain.

Remote, desolate, and dilapidated...

"Sigh, another failure..."

Looking at the shattered remains of the magical artifact once again, Li Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

That's right, he traveled through time.

He transmigrated into the body of an elder of the Qingyun Sect, and the sect's only Dao Forging Master.

The so-called Dao Forgers are a special kind of existence in this world of cultivation.

They possess an extremely rare talent: they can communicate with the heavens, pray for blessings, and obtain a certain "power of the abbreviation," which they then imbue into magical artifacts, forging all sorts of incredibly powerful magical treasures!

Those who possess this talent are one in ten thousand!

It is easy to imagine that wherever the Master Craftsman goes, he is highly respected and holds a transcendent status!

However, Li Ping'an, this Dao Forging Master, is just like the Qingyun Sect—a nobody...

Although he possesses the talent of a smith, it's not abundant...

Since being taken in by Sect Master Yun Yaoji and becoming a sect elder, he has not been able to successfully fuse a single inscription or refine a single magic weapon.

Even so, Yun Yaoji didn't say anything. After all, Dao Forging Masters were extremely rare, and she was already incredibly lucky to have met one.

As for the disciples of the sect, they all idolized Li Ping'an.

after all……

That's a smith!

The leader of the Tianxuan Continent is named...

Tiandao Sect!

They claim to act on behalf of Heaven and rule the world!

The Heavenly Dao Sect bestowed titles upon all sects in the world, dividing them into nine ranks from one to nine, with the ninth rank being the lowest and the first rank being the highest.

Of course, the Heavenly Dao Sect is a transcendent sect that surpasses even the first-grade sect!

As for the Qingyun Sect...

They hadn't even advanced to the ninth rank; they were just a bunch of miscellaneous cultivators, a third-rate, down-and-out sect.

"Junior brother, did you fail again?"

Just then, a soft and charming voice came, followed by a graceful figure pushing open the door and entering.

Li Pingan looked up and glanced at the sky.

It was Yun Yaoji, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, who was also his senior sister.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, Li Ping'an still couldn't help but marvel...

As expected of the "senior" sister!

Yun Yaoji has three major...

He has a bad temper, a gambling addiction, and a very broad mind!

Now I see that it really lives up to its reputation!

It's almost bursting forth, it's almost bursting forth...

Yun Yaoji felt Li Ping'an's burning gaze. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she raised her jade hand to cover up a little of her exposed skin, but she couldn't completely hide it.

"Ahem, I was just a little bit unlucky."

To cover his tracks, Li Ping'an glanced at the broken magic weapon and said.

Yun Yaoji nodded: "Junior brother, don't be discouraged. Dao Masters are one in ten thousand. Your ability to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and sense the power of the inscriptions is already remarkable."

"As for whether we can successfully fuse the entries and refine the magic weapon, that will not be a matter of a day or two."

Hearing her say that, Li Ping'an truly felt ashamed...

Ever since Yun Yaoji founded the Qingyun Sect, she has been extremely obedient to him since she was a Dao Forging Master and she recruited him into the sect.

Whatever material, raw material, or rare and precious natural treasures you desire, we can provide it all.

Despite her repeated failures in forging magic weapons and her inability to successfully refine even a single one, Yun Yaoji never uttered a single complaint.

Almost half of the sect's wealth has been wasted by him...

Of course, the other half was what Yun Yaoji herself gambled away...

Although Yun Yaoji said that, Li Ping'an could see that there was something wrong with the expression on her face, and she was obviously preoccupied with something.

Something moved in his heart.

"Senior Sister, you didn't gamble with someone again, did you?!"

Yun Yaoji's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Don't blame me this time! It's Huang Yuntian who went too far!"

"Huang Yuntian? The sect leader of Huangtian Sect?"

"That's right! He said our Qingyun Sect is utterly useless, full of trash! We will definitely fail the sect promotion assessment hosted by the Tiandao Sect this time, and will not be able to advance to the ninth rank!"

Li Ping'an: "...He makes a good point!"

Yun Yaoji rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, we cultivators can be killed but not humiliated!"

"So I made a bet with him: if we can't advance to the ninth rank, the entire sect will immediately disband, and..."

"From now on, everyone will go to Huangtian Sect as slaves and servants, and be at their mercy!"

Li Ping'an: "...Huh?!"

He couldn't help but slap his thigh and wail loudly.

"Senior Sister, aren't you just setting us up for failure?!"

"Does losing really mean I have to become a slave?!"

Yun Yaoji retorted angrily, "Can't we win? Even if they lose, they'll still be at our mercy!"

Li Ping'an: "But have you ever won?!"

Yun Yaoji: "..."

Indeed, Yun Yaoji has a very mysterious background, extraordinary talent, unfathomable realm, and an angelic face and a devilish figure. She can be described as flawless and breathtaking.

There is only one thing...

Addicted to gambling!

And yet, he almost never wins...

Known as the legendary fat sheep of the Tianxuan Continent!

Li Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. A small sect like Qingyun Sect actually had two great hidden talents at the same time!

I, a third-rate craftsman, have never successfully crafted a single magical artifact, yet I have squandered half of the Qingyun Sect's wealth.

The sect leader, Senior Sister Yun Yaoji, was addicted to gambling and had extremely bad luck, squandering half of the Qingyun Sect's wealth...

It's a miracle that the Qingyun Sect has survived to this day!

The reason why the original owner was able to tolerate this gambling addict senior sister was because...

He had always secretly loved Yun Yaoji.

Li Ping'an thought to himself, "Is that what you call liking?"

You're just lusting after her body, you're despicable!

However, now that I am him, there's nothing more to say...

not to mention……

He glanced at Yun Yaoji again. Hmm, she did look a little tempted...

Yun Yaoji seemed to sense his gaze, but this time she did not look away. Instead, she secretly smiled, but then sighed.

"It's nothing. Anyway, we've already lost that big bet with the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion. If we can't pay back the three thousand taels of silver within ten days, the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion will send people to demolish our Taoist temple, arrest us all, and throw us into the death row, beheading us as a warning to others."

The saying goes, "The more debts you have, the less you worry; the more lice you have, the less they bite." It may be a rough saying, but the principle is sound.

Li Ping'an: "...Indeed, the words are rough but the reasoning is sound, but your words are just too rough!"

"If we can't pay back the money in ten days, our entire family will probably be executed!"

How can you say that so easily?!

Although immortality reigns supreme in this world, imperial power still exists, and the Great Jin Dynasty is essentially a major sect!

As for the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, it is at least equivalent to a seventh-grade sect!

This is not something a small, insignificant sect like Qingyun Sect can afford to offend...

Although Li Ping'an also knew that this matter was not Yun Yaoji's fault, but rather a conspiracy by the Marquis of Wuwei.

But now, there are only ten days left...

Three thousand taels of silver, even if you sold the entire Qingyun Sect, you still couldn't pay it back!

Yun Yaoji said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as we pass the Heavenly Dao Sect assessment in three days and advance to the ninth-grade sect, everyone in the Yellow Heaven Sect will have to serve us as slaves. As for the three thousand taels of silver we owe Marquis Wuwei, we can pay it off completely!"

"Zi Yun is at the sixth level of the Transformation Realm, and Xi Le has just broken through to the fourth level of the Transformation Realm. Our Qingyun Sect has two disciples who are qualified to participate in the battle, so our chances are still very high!"

"The only thing we lack is magical artifacts. Other sects, even if they don't have dedicated Dao forgers, can still hire one to help them refine magical artifacts and forge inscriptions, as long as they have the money. Our Qingyun Sect is as poor as can be, so our only hope rests on you, Junior Brother..."

Yun Yaoji patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder, her eyes sparkling with captivating charm.

Li Pingan gave a wry smile and could only nod.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will do my best."

"it is good."

Although Yun Yaoji said this, she didn't really have much hope in her heart; she could only try anything as a last resort.

She sighed softly, turned and left.

Once again, only Li Ping'an remained in the Zhudao Pavilion.

The sect promotion assessment involves two stakes: Huangtian Sect and the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion...

They would either become slaves in three days, or be arrested and executed in ten days...

The future looks bleak!

Moreover, this senior sister has placed all the heavy responsibilities on my shoulders, which puts me under immense pressure!

Just when Li Ping'an was in despair...

Ding!
