My entry can't possibly be this normal!

The Qingyun Sect is still just a small group of people.

However, under his command, there was a ninth-rank sect, the Heavenly Dragon Sect, as well as seven or eight other ordinary sects of varying sizes, such as the Yellow Heaven Sect, the Platinum Sect, the Green Wood Sect, the Black Water Sect, the Long River Sect, and the Sunset Sect.

Among them, Huangtian Sect and Baijin Sect can be considered sects that are very close to the ninth rank. The reason why they failed to advance is entirely due to luck.

In addition, the Qingyun Sect also has the Xuanbing Sect, an old ninth-grade sect, as an ally.

Not to mention, they also won over Jiang Tianfeng, the young master of the Wuwei Marquis's mansion.

By this time, the Qingyun Sect had become a true powerful force in the region.

But at this moment...

In the distance from the Great Green Mountain where the Qingyun Sect is located, a group of people are watching this place from afar...

The distance was too great for anyone to perceive.

Only Yun Yaoji stopped smiling, turned her head to look at him, and snorted coldly.

Li Ping'an looked in that direction and saw that those people had already left.

"who is it?"

Yun Yaoji said, "People from the Marquis of Wuwei's residence."

Jiang Tianfeng's expression immediately changed!

"Is that Second Brother?"

"No, it's Jiang Tiansheng."

"Brother?!"

If it were the second son, Jiang Tianting, Jiang Tianfeng would at most only change his expression slightly.

But when it came to his elder brother Jiang Tiansheng, his body trembled!

Xiao Xile asked, "Is your older brother very capable?"

Jiang Tianfeng gave a wry smile.

"That's the problem. Almost no one knows just how powerful our eldest brother really is..."

"I'm afraid only my father knows."

"Not only his cultivation level, but also his methods are unfathomable. Throughout Changping County, everyone believes him to be a man of great talent and ambition, who also loves the people like his own children. He has a very high reputation and countless disciples, but in reality..."

"I can only sense his terrifying nature occasionally."

"Compared to him, my second brother is nothing but a brute."

Li Ping'an nodded: "You can tell from the fact that he interfered in your and Senior Sister's bet that day, forcing the Qingyun Sect and the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion to break up."

"This person is extremely cunning and shrewd, and is indeed not easy to deal with."

Su Ziyun said, "It seems that he has your whereabouts under control. Ever since you defeated Jiang Tianting, he has regarded you as his greatest enemy."

"Now that you've allied with the Qingyun Sect, and with the fact that my Qingyun Sect has subdued so many forces this time, he will definitely hold you accountable and will never let you off the hook."

Jiang Tianfeng gave a wry smile: "Yes..."

"However, the Marquis's mansion is as deep as the sea. Since I come from such a background, I have no choice but to fight to the death."

Bai Xiaoxian stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, no matter what, you've joined forces with our Qingyun Sect. Whether it was by chance or by accident, it shows that you've found a new path!"

"With our sect master here, and our elder uncle here, let alone Jiang Tiansheng, even your father, Marquis Wuwei, is no match for us!"

Jiang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Hearing you say that makes me feel much better..."

"Sect Master Yun, Elder Li, you should also be very careful."

"My elder brother doesn't act rashly; he prefers to strategize from the shadows. He'll definitely find a way to deal with the Qingyun Sect..."

Li Pingan said, "Of course I know that."

Jiang Tianfeng said, "My eldest brother has the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion behind him, and my second brother has the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce behind him. They are both top-tier powers in Changping County. It's as difficult as climbing to heaven to make an enemy of them..."

Yun Yaoji nodded as well.

"In the entire Changping Prefecture, the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion and the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce are equivalent to seventh-grade sects. In addition, the Tiandao Pavilion, a branch of the Tiandao Sect here, is also a force of seventh grade or above."

"Besides that, there's the most powerful sect, the Boundless Sect, which is also a seventh-rank sect!"

"Of course, there are some forces that are not inferior to these, such as the Dao Forging Alliance, the Pill God Tower, and so on..."

"Speaking of the Dao Forging Master Alliance, when are you going to be assessed as a ninth-rank Dao Forging Master, Junior Brother?"

Li Ping'an has already advanced to the ninth rank, but to gain industry recognition, he still needs to go to the Forging Master Alliance for evaluation.

From then on, once you gain official recognition, the Founders Alliance will protect your various interests, and may even help you promote yourself, enhance your reputation, and provide business opportunities.

Li Ping'an nodded: "That's true..."

"I'll go whenever I have time."

……

On that day, all the sects, large and small, gathered on the small hill of the Qingyun Sect to celebrate, thus establishing the Qingyun Sect Grand Alliance.

Yun Yaoji is naturally the leader of the alliance, while Li Ping'an is the deputy leader.

As for organizational structure, communication, profit model, and other miscellaneous things, Li Ping'an handed them all over to Xiao Xile, who was quite good at those things.

Of course, these allied forces are required to "pay tribute" to the Qingyun Sect.

On that day, the Qingyun Sect also received a considerable amount of wealth, including cash, various rare and precious materials, spirit stones, and elixirs.

Li Ping'an finally had the resources to forge magical artifacts for himself once again...

The next day, after these sects had temporarily left.

Li Ping'an once again assessed his cultivation level.

When he crafts magical artifacts for others, and those artifacts are successfully used, he can enhance his spiritual power and cultivation level.

His current attribute is...

Rank: Ninth Grade Blacksmith (425/500)

Cultivation level: Eighth level of the Transcendent Realm (1130/2000)

Supernatural Powers: *Soul Refining Technique*, *Flowing Cloud Scripture*

Keywords: [Exploding Chicken], [Admit Defeat], [Foodie], [Frozen Fish], [Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King], etc.

magic weapon:

Treasure items: Black Python Whip, Ceasefire Banner, Crimson Fire Sword, etc.

Spiritual treasures: Purple Dragon Whip, Heart-Winning Flag, Snow-Slaying Blade, Dragon Roar Golden Spear, etc.

……

"The level of a blacksmith increases very quickly. Once I refine one more spiritual treasure, I can advance to the eighth rank!"

"My cultivation level isn't improving fast enough..."

Li Ping'an's main problem is that he doesn't have enough spiritual treasures to refine.

Only now have they finally gathered enough materials to refine another spiritual treasure.

This time, he wants me to create a magic weapon tailored specifically for him!

The talent of those who create the Dao is generally quite average.

After all, if God opens a door for you, He might close a window.

Of course, for Li Ping'an, as long as he could improve his cultivation by refining weapons, he didn't need to pay too much attention to this.

just now……

Forge your first unique magic weapon, and at the same time, you can directly upgrade yourself to...

Eighth-rank Dao Forging Master!

Besides the Soul Refining Technique, which is exclusively for Dao Forging Masters, Li Ping'an also cultivates the Flowing Cloud Scripture, which was personally taught to him by the sect leader and senior sister, Yun Yaoji.

This is a method of gradual and sustained practice. It is easy to learn and suitable for those who are not naturally gifted. However, the speed of cultivation will increase as you progress.

Li Ping'an had several considerations regarding his first magic weapon...

Safety is the top priority.

The second is safety.

Thirdly, it's still his mother...

Safety!

Ultimately, nothing is more important than one's own life safety...

Not to mention, he has offended so many people, it's hard to guarantee that no one will try to sabotage him or trip him up. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark, so he must be on guard!

Therefore, he quickly chose a magical artifact, whose name was...

Thousand-Machine Treasure Wheel!

This spiritual treasure is extremely difficult to refine. Not to mention a ninth-grade master, even an eighth-grade master craftsman has a very low probability of successfully refining it.

Because it requires a great many rare and precious materials, and its mechanical parts are incredibly complex, the slightest mistake can lead to failure and total defeat!

However, Li Ping'an did not have this concern, because...

His success rate in refining magical artifacts is 100%.

Once the Thousand Machine Treasure Wheel is forged, it can transform into countless forms, combining offense and defense. In daily life, it can be worn as a ring or bracelet, but in battle, it can transform into swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—all eighteen kinds of weapons!

It is precisely because of its power that it is extremely difficult to refine, making it the most suitable for Li Ping'an.

Of course, more importantly, he wanted to forge the most suitable terms for himself into this Thousand Machine Treasure Wheel...

That is……
