My entry can't possibly be this normal!

None of the Qingyun Sect members witnessed the successful forging of the last magical artifact.

Everyone was extremely curious and eagerly anticipating Li Ping'an's refining of the product this time.

after all……

Master blacksmiths are extremely rare, and this elder master was also the first to successfully refine one.

Facing the crowd, Li Ping'an took a deep breath and began the fusion process again.

Having gained experience this time, he was much more adept and quickly entered a state of perfect meditation.

With the talent of the Dao Forger, he instantly communicated with the Heavenly Dao and witnessed once again the golden ocean full of entries.

The job of the craftsman is to select the most suitable element and fuse it into the magical artifact.

The more powerful the blacksmith, the higher the probability of obtaining powerful attributes.

However, even the most powerful magic craftsman can only acquire magical treasures with a degree of randomness, and cannot be 100% accurate.

"Surrender, admit defeat, run away..."

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Caught!"

With a thought, Li Ping'an transformed his divine soul power into a palm, grasped the desired entry, and then swiftly merged it into Xiao Xile's magic weapon.

It was that so-called "Stop the War" flag.

"It's done!"

Above the white flag, vibrant colors and shimmering light signify the complete formation of the magical artifact!

Xiao Xile was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Master! May I ask what kind of inscription Master helped me forge?"

Li Ping'an smiled and said, "The title of this entry is..."

"I admit defeat!"

"As the name suggests, once you wave the white flag and shout the words 'I surrender,' the battle is considered over, and there's no need to continue fighting. The enemy can no longer attack you!"

Xiao Xile was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Excellent! This is exactly the entry I've been dreaming of!"

"I will never forget the great kindness and virtue of my teacher, Uncle Chang!"

Su Ziyun, Bai Xiaoxian, and Feng Dashan exchanged glances and nodded with pursed lips.

Indeed, this is a very suitable entry for the second senior brother (or junior brother)...

Bai Xiaoxian gazed at the colorful light with admiration.

"Teacher Chang is amazing! This entry is even in color!"

"What grade is this?"

Yun Yaoji was also taken aback.

"Junior brother, I know the rank of entries, from lowest to highest:..."

"White, blue, green, purple, orange, pink, gold!"

"Besides these, there are also black, gray, blood red, and other colors with strong side effects..."

"But I've never heard of such a seven-colored entry before!"

"Logically speaking, with my junior brother's mediocre level of a Dao forging master, he should only be able to forge the lowest level of white attributes at most, right?"

Li Ping'an: "Uh, well..."

"The so-called seven-colored entries are the gods among the entries!"

"Originally, it only existed in legends, and only a genius blacksmith like me could possibly reach such a level!"

Yun Yaoji was clearly skeptical.

However, the disciples listened with great admiration and worshipped their senior teacher even more.

Especially the third junior sister, Bai Xiaoxian, who clung to Li Ping'an's leg and acted coquettishly.

"Wow, Teacher Chang is amazing!"

"So when will you help your disciple refine a magic weapon as well?"

Yun Yaoji rolled her eyes at her: "You're only at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, you're not ready yet. Once you break through to the fourth level, I'll arrange for the elders to help you refine it."

Bai Xiaoxian pouted: "Oh..."

At this moment, Li Ping'an...

[Congratulations, host, on successfully fusing the inscription and refining the magic weapon. You have gained +10 Divine Soul Power and +10 to your cultivation level!]

[Current Craftsman Level: Unranked Craftsman (97/100)!]

[Current cultivation level: Seventh level of the Transcendent Realm (791/900)!]

Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

At this rate, wouldn't I achieve a double breakthrough in no time?!

However, with his current spiritual power, he can only refine two magic treasures at most per day.

This is after the system's chaotic will has been enhanced.

He glanced at Xiao Xile's magic weapon again...

"Ok?"

"I clearly forged the [Admit Defeat] entry, how did it turn into..."

"[Recognizing the father?]!"

"What does this mean?!"

"It should be...nothing serious, right..."

Yun Yaoji was unaware of Li Ping'an's expression, and she herself breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She smiled sweetly, glanced at Li Ping'an, her eyes sparkling with affection.

"This time, we owe a lot to my junior brother."

"If we can overcome this calamity, my junior brother will deserve the greatest credit, and I, as the sect leader, will certainly reward him handsomely."

Li Ping'an: "...What kind of generous reward?"

Yun Yaoji raised the corners of her lips and rolled her eyes at him: "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Alright, Ziyun, Xile, you two should intensify your cultivation these two days. In three days, at the sect's advancement conference, our Qingyun Sect will be determined to win this time..."

"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"

The two replied in unison, "Yes, Master!"

……

In the following two days, Li Ping'an successfully refined...

A magical artifact!

What? Why not refine more?

Where would the Qingyun Sect find the money to support his extravagant spending...?

Even the materials were all scraps that Li Ping'an had to collect from various places to finally put together a complete set...

However, after successfully forging this "Crimson Fire Sword"...

Ding!

[Congratulations, host! Your soul power has exceeded 100, and you have been promoted to a ninth-grade Dao Forging Master!]

[Congratulations, host, your cultivation has broken through 800, and you have advanced to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm!]

Li Ping'an was overjoyed. If he had to rely on his own cultivation, it would probably have taken him many years to advance.

But now...

easy!

Ninth-Rank Dao Forging Master!

From then on, he was a highly respected figure wherever he went!

As for his own cultivation level, the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm is indeed not high, but he is a Dao Forging Master and his talent is not in cultivation. To have such a level of cultivation is already quite remarkable.

Moreover, Li Ping'an also tested the newly refined magical artifact with the added attributes.

Although it's a bit unconventional, its power is undeniable!

The Crimson Fire Sword that I forged myself was originally intended to be inlaid with the corresponding [Crimson Fire] attribute.

It can be enchanted with fire attributes to enhance the power of fire-based techniques.

However, the result was completely distorted into the term "foodie"!

However, although it no longer has the fire attribute, this Crimson Fire Sword can devour everything!

It can absorb and use any enemy's attacks, hidden weapons, or even elemental energy for its own benefit!

Isn't that even more awesome?!

Li Ping'an then decided to keep it as a trump card for himself.

Moreover, this made Li Ping'an even more confident about the match between Su Ziyun and Xiao Xile.

Although the term is a bit unconventional, it is absolutely powerful!

……

Finally, three days later.

The Heavenly Dao Sect's sect advancement ceremony, personally presided over by the sect itself, has begun!

At this moment, the place was already packed with people, with countless spectators watching the arena match in the center of the venue.

Led by Sect Master Yun Yaoji, the entire Qingyun Sect arrived.

However, fate had other plans, and she encountered Huang Tianzong and his group, with whom she had a life-or-death duel, as soon as she arrived.

Huang Yuntian, the sect leader of Huangtian Sect, sneered.

"Yun Yaoji, if you admit defeat now, perhaps I will show some mercy to your Qingyun Sect!"

Yun Yaoji smiled slightly.

"Oh? Really?"

"I'm full of confidence now."

Huang Yuntian's expression changed slightly, but he still sneered, "Where do you get your confidence from?"

Bai Xiaoxian couldn't help but snort, "Don't look down on people!"

"Senior Sister will not lose to anyone!"

"Second Senior Brother will also... work hard..."

Xiao Xile: "...Hey! Hey!"

Bai Xiaoxian: "What's more, this time Master Elder personally helped our senior brothers and sisters refine an incomparably powerful magic weapon. Your Huangtian Sect is doomed to lose!"

Huang Yuntian glanced at Li Ping'an, then exchanged a look with Zhao Liuhe, the blacksmith from his sect, and the two of them burst into laughter.

"You mean Li Ping'an?!"

"He's not even a ninth-grade blacksmith, yet he wants to successfully fuse the inscription and refine a magic weapon?!"

"it's so funny!"

Even Zhao Liuhe, the weapon-refining elder of Huangtian Sect and a ninth-grade blacksmith, sneered disdainfully.

"Li Ping'an, stop embarrassing yourself!"

"A useless blacksmith who isn't even a ninth-rank cultivator dares to boast that he's forged a powerful magic weapon?!"

"Ridiculous! If I were you, I would have run away with my tail between my legs long ago. How dare you come to this sect advancement conference and make a fool of yourself in public?!"

Yun Yaoji and all the disciples of Qingyun Sect were furious.

"Huang Yuntian, Zhao Liuhe, are you looking for death?!"

The two were immediately intimidated by Yun Yaoji's imposing aura and dared not act recklessly for a moment.

Although the Qingyun Sect's overall strength was extremely weak...

But this Yun Yaoji is extremely powerful!

If it weren't for exploiting her gambling weakness, Huang Tianzong wouldn't have dared to provoke her...

Li Ping'an, however, didn't take it to heart and smiled calmly.

"Huang Yuntian, Zhao Liuhe, there's no point in saying more. Let's settle this with a fight."

The two said, "Fine! I'd like to see what kind of tricks this good-for-nothing Daoist can pull."

At this moment, Elder Ren Tianxing of the Heavenly Dao Sect had already made the announcement.

"The Sect Promotion Ceremony has officially begun!"

For a time, everyone was eagerly anticipating it.

Before long, it was Qingyun Sect's turn to take the stage.

"Next match: Su Ziyun of Qingyun Sect versus Tie Rushan of Baijin Sect!"

Yun Yaoji patted Su Ziyun on the shoulder: "Go, Ziyun."

Su Ziyun smiled confidently.

"With Master's teachings and the magic weapon personally crafted by my elder brother, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Snapped!

She swung the black python whip in her hand, causing the air to explode and a burst of sparks to appear!

"Um?!"

Huang Tianzong's blacksmith Zhao Liuhe's expression suddenly changed!

Huang Yuntian asked, "Elder, what's wrong?"

Zhao Liuhe exclaimed in shock, "Colored light! What kind of terminology did Li Ping'an fuse with?!"

He used his magic to look with the divine eye of a Daoist master.

"Oh, it's [critical hit], no, that's not right..."

"[Exploding Chicken]?!"

"Then, what is that?!"

"Could it be... the one I'm imagining?!"
