My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Upon hearing Li Ping'an's words, the members of the Qingyun Sect all stepped back and made way for Li Ping'an and Xiao Xile to fight.

Xiao Xile was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

"Master Elder, don't you know better than anyone else what my strongest attack is?"

"This might hurt a bit..."

Li Ping'an remained calm and composed: "It's alright, please come on!"

Xiao Xile said happily, "Then this disciple will not stand on ceremony!"

His strongest attack, of course, didn't hurt much.

The problem is, the accompanying psychological damage is unimaginably terrible...

After all, it was a psychological warfare flag that Li Ping'an had personally crafted for him, infused with the [Recognize Father] keyword!

This moment.

Xiao Xile shouted and waved the psychological warfare flag in his hand, activating the effect of the spell at the same time.

"Admit defeat!"

Li Ping'an remained calm and composed, gently extending his right hand, the ring on his finger reflecting golden light.

He calmly said, "A rebound!"

Suddenly...

Xiao Xile froze on the spot, then gritted her teeth and struggled desperately to stop herself from shouting.

But in the end, they couldn't withstand this terrifying power...

"father!!!"

……

In an instant, the Qingyun Sect fell into a deathly silence.

Then, someone—whoever it was, actually Bai Xiaoxian—burst into laughter without a care for her image, laughing so hard she fell to the ground, flailing her arms and legs wildly.

"This is hilarious, hahaha!"

Su Ziyun was also dumbfounded: "This, could this be..."

Feng Dashan was baffled: "Why is it that the one who calls me 'father' is the second senior brother?"

Yun Yaoji also frowned.

"Junior brother, could the affixes you forged be capable of reflecting enemy attacks?"

"But... even the effects of certain stat entries can be completely reflected?!"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of such a terrifying term..."

Li Ping'an laughed heartily: "That's right, this is precisely the special entry that only a master like me can forge..."

"[Rebound]!"

"As the name suggests, it can reflect all attacks, whether it's a head-on confrontation or a surprise attack, and it can reflect all kinds of energy, magic power, techniques, supernatural abilities, or even affix effects!"

"Rebound! Rebound everything! Be invincible forever!"

"This is what they call perfect, invincible!"

Everyone was stunned!

If that's the case, then it's truly invincible and perfect!

But do such terrifying terms really exist?!

Su Ziyun said, "Master Elder, there must be some kind of restriction, right?"

"Otherwise, it would be too outrageous..."

Li Ping'an coughed: "Ahem, of course there are limitations, but..."

"What restrictions?"

"I won't tell you."

"……cut."

Bai Xiaoxian was still laughing heartily, rolling around on the ground.

Xiao Xile couldn't help but pull her up.

"Stop laughing!"

"Uncle Chang, your invincible magic weapon, with its perfect attributes, is behaving like kids fighting and swearing in the street?!"

"I insult you, you retaliate, I retaliate again, and you retaliate against everything..."

Bai Xiaoxian was unhappy that Xiao Xile wouldn't let her laugh, and snorted.

"So what? You're still waving that flag around that makes people call you 'Dad' all over the place, aren't you?!"

Xiao Xile: "...What you say makes sense."

Yun Yaoji pondered, "In other words, when Xile's 'recognize father' attribute encounters your counterattack, it will only make her call him 'father'; when Ziyun's 'explosive chicken' attribute encounters a counterattack, it will only trigger a critical hit against herself..."

"But junior brother, if I attack with all my might, can your debuffs really rebound perfectly?"

Li Ping'an was drenched in sweat.

"...Then we'll have to see what level of cultivation you've reached with your full strength, Senior Sister."

"Why don't you tell me what level you've reached?!"

Everyone looked at Yun Yaoji with great curiosity.

Yun Yaoji shook her head: "I won't tell you."

"……cut."

Li Ping'an: "...It's alright."

"In short, there shouldn't be many people as powerful as Senior Sister in Changping County."

"So, when I say I'm invincible, it's pretty much the truth."

"and……"

Li Ping'an then demonstrated the built-in effects of his Thousand Machine Treasure Wheel.

Ever-changing, all-encompassing!

For a moment, everyone was stunned and dazzled...

The golden light illuminated the faces of Yun Yaoji, Su Ziyun, and Bai Xiaoxian, who all stared wide-eyed and gaped in envy...

"Wow, Uncle Chang, can you make one for Little Fairy too?!"

Li Ping'an rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think she's a cabbage?"

"This Thousand-Mechanism Treasure Wheel is extremely complex to forge, and the materials are incredibly scarce. The reason we were able to gather all of them this time is because we happened to have collected so many materials offered by various sects. If we could really gather that many, I could give one to each of you without any problem. The key is..."

"No!"

Bai Xiaoxian looked at Xiao Xile: "Then it depends on Second Senior Brother..."

"What are you looking at me for?"

Su Ziyun coughed and said, "Third Junior Sister means that you should integrate all the forces under the Qingyun Sect, and then have them submit their materials to make the whole system come alive!"

Yun Yaoji nodded and said, "Indeed, Xile does have some talent in this area."

"Here's what we'll do: Ziyun, you accompany Xile to supervise and inspect the various sects, urging them to reform properly and strive to create greater wealth so that Qingyun Sect can stop being so poor."

Su Ziyun hurriedly replied, "Yes, Master."

Xiao Xile smiled and said, "Alright, leave this to me!"

Yun Yaoji then looked at Li Ping'an: "Junior brother, are you going to the Dao Forging Master Alliance for certification?"

"Yes, I am now an eighth-grade blacksmith."

Yun Yaoji and the others: "...Huh?!"

"They've already broken through to the eighth rank so quickly?!"

Bai Xiaoxian's eyes lit up: "Wow, no wonder he's Teacher Chang!"

"There probably aren't any eighth-grade blacksmiths within a radius of several thousand miles!"

"Master, Master, I want to go watch the excitement with Master Chang!"

Yun Yaoji sighed, "You can go, but you mustn't cause any trouble. And after you come back, you must cultivate even harder. Within a month, you must break through to the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm!"

Bai Xiaoxian: "...Okay!"

Feng Dashan asked pitifully, "Master, what about me?"

"you?"

"Stay here and help Master look after the house!"

"Oh……"

"You need to break through to the third level of the Transcendent Realm within a month!"

"Yes, Master..."

……

After the assignments were completed, Li Ping'an led Bai Xiaoxian down the mountain again and arrived at Qingyang City, a bustling and prosperous city teeming with cultivators. They came to the Qingtian Market, a place teeming with people and teeming with activity.

This time, however, they did not delay and went directly to the Alliance of Founders.

On the way, they happened to meet Zhao Liuhe of Huangtian Sect, a ninth-rank Dao Casting Master.

"Elder Li, are we going to the Dao Forging Masters Alliance for certification?"

"That's right, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Liuhe laughed and said, "I'm just buying some materials. Since we've run into each other, how about I join in the fun?"

"I was just thinking of going to see if I could get any business..."

"Okay."

So the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Foundry Alliance. Li Ping'an looked up and realized that although he was a Foundry Master, this was indeed his first time visiting the Foundry Alliance...

In the past, he would never have been qualified to come here.

And now...

Li Ping'an's heart surged with emotion. He smiled slightly and strode in first...
