My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Li Ping'an's words shocked everyone present.

The president of the Eight Desolations Chamber of Commerce said, "Elder Li, are you saying that we should take advantage of the situation and completely crush the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce?!"

"Not bad!"

"We must not only defeat them, but also divide up all the power they have entrenched and occupied!"

Li Ping'an looked at Yu Tianji and Ren Tianxing.

"The Heavenly Dao Sect and the Dao Forging Alliance have also made great contributions in this matter. Our Azure Cloud Sect will certainly not be ignorant of this. We will make money together and get rich together!"

What do you two think?

Yu Tianji and Ren Tianxing exchanged a glance and both revealed sly smiles.

"Of course, in that case, I must thank the Qingyun Sect and Elder Li."

In reality, it was all just a charade.

In fact, Yu Tianji and Ren Tianxing's secret actions already demonstrated the attitude of the Dao Forging Alliance and the Heavenly Dao Sect: they supported the Qingyun Sect, and of course, they would also demand their own interests afterward.

However, Li Ping'an didn't want to play games with them, so he just spoke quite bluntly.

His meaning was very simple...

Divide up the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!

The Heavenly Dao Sect, the Dao Forging Alliance, the Azure Cloud Sect Grand Alliance, and the alliance of the Eight Desolations Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce, the four forces joined forces to completely take over the power of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!

This is certainly a cause for celebration, something everyone desires.

All the factions present were filled with pride and satisfaction, and they all stood up to toast and congratulate Li Ping'an...

That night, the wine flowed freely, and everyone drank until they were completely drunk.

……

A few happy and a few sad.

at the same time.

Headquarters of Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

It was completely shrouded in dark clouds, with an atmosphere of despair and oppression, like the end of the world.

Of the ten elders, only four remain.

Grand Elder Wan Lianshan.

Third Elder Xuanyuan Guang.

They went to the Seven Star Merchant Guild only to find it empty, but that's how they survived...

The Eighth Elder and the Tenth Elder.

Wan Lianshan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his anger beyond imagination.

But there's nowhere to pour it out.

Xuanyuan Guang coughed, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Although he survived the battle with Yun Yaoji, he was seriously injured.

The enemy they could have defeated was defeated on the spot by the sudden appearance of Li Ping'an and the power of that inexplicable "Heavenly Secret Dice"!

Xuanyuan Guang glanced cautiously at Elder Wan Lianshan.

"Elder, what should we do?"

The Eighth Elder and the Tenth Elder also remained silent, trembling with fear.

After a long silence, Wan Lianshan finally said coldly, "This grudge will be avenged!"

Xuan Yuanguang hurriedly said, "That's natural. However, our Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce has suffered heavy casualties. Not only in the meeting of the Ten Elders, but also among the Heavenly Gang disciples... What's even more frightening is that the Azure Cloud Sect has the support of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Dao Forging Alliance, plus the successful cooperation with the Eight Desolations Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid..."

Wan Lianshan glanced at him, and Xuan Yuanguang immediately stopped in fright.

"That's right, we suffered a crushing defeat, a complete and utter defeat!"

"However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!"

"The Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce is not yet facing complete annihilation!"

"Internally, we have an alliance with the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion."

"In addition, we can also discuss cooperation with the Pill God Tower and the Boundless Sect."

"In addition, we also have superiors and high-ranking members of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce!"

The Eighth Elder said, "The First Elder is right!"

The Tenth Elder frowned and said, "Elder, that may be true, but Marquis Jiang Shenwei is also an old fox. On the one hand, he made Jiang Tiansheng cooperate with us, but on the other hand, he secretly allowed Jiang Tianfeng to associate with the Qingyun Sect. Now that Jiang Tiansheng has been crippled and our Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce has been utterly defeated, he can still win over the Qingyun Sect and form an alliance with the Dao Forging Masters. He has not lost any opportunity to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Given the current situation, I'm afraid he might not still be willing to stand by our Jiuding Chamber of Commerce through thick and thin..."

Wan Lianshan also fell silent.

"Elder Ten is right, we really can't count on Jiang Shenwei."

"Since that's the case, we can only go down two paths..."

"Eighth Elder and Tenth Elder, you should each contact the Boundless Sect and the Pill God Tower, and try every means to gain their cooperation. Even if they don't fully support us, at least they won't kick us when we're down!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

"Third Elder, go to the headquarters of our Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce within the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, inform them of our situation and losses, and request support from headquarters!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Wan Lianshan said in a deep voice, "I will do everything I can to resist these powerful enemies and integrate our remaining strength. We must form an alliance with the Qingyun Sect, the Tiandao Sect, and the Dao Forging Masters..."

"Till death!!!"

……

In the days that followed, the entire Changping County was abuzz with undercurrents.

However, on the surface, peace was maintained for a period of time.

Li Ping'an took some time to visit the Dao Forging Master Alliance and verify his identity as a seventh-grade Dao Forging Master, which shocked everyone present. Even Yu Tianji was greatly surprised, and it even alerted the headquarters of the Dao Forging Master Alliance.

However, he himself didn't care, as it was something that happened naturally.

After returning to the Qingyun Sect, the sect has become much more lively.

Although Jiang Tianfeng is nominally a disciple, he is, after all, the "heir apparent" of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, and often has to stay in the mansion.

But Yu Nishang actually moved in.

Although she came from an extraordinary background, she had extremely high emotional intelligence and quickly became one with all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

Even Yun Yaoji, who was somewhat jealous of Yu Nishang, realized that Yu Nishang genuinely admired her and was sincere towards the other disciples, and gradually let down her guard.

Of course, more importantly...

Yu Ni Chang will gamble with Yun Yao Ji...

This alone made Yun Yaoji completely powerless...

Not only Yun Yaoji, but Yu Nishang also catered to the preferences of all her disciples.

She knew that Su Ziyun was proud and devoted to cultivation, so she discussed the path of cultivation with her every day, and even practiced with her in real combat every day, competing and improving together.

Su Ziyun originally lacked such an opponent, after all, Yun Yaoji and Li Ping'an were her elders, and her junior brothers and sisters were far below her in cultivation level.

Now that Yu Ni Chang has arrived, it can be said that they have met their match and found a worthy opponent.

As for Xiao Xile, it's even simpler.

Yu Nishang's discussions on business strategies and the battlefield of the business world captivated him, leaving him utterly engrossed...

Bai Xiaoxian didn't really like Yu Nishang.

but……

She couldn't resist Yu Nishang buying her all sorts of snacks and candied hawthorns every day...

Under this barrage of sweet talk, Bai Xiaoxian finally surrendered after three days...

Feng Dashan was an honest and simple man. Yu Nishang only needed to call him Fourth Senior Brother to make him so happy that he would fly to the sky...

Li Ping'an is even more out of the question.

He was already very "close" with Yu Nishang, and now that she has joined the sect, she not only obeys him in every way and serves him attentively, but she is also the only blacksmith who can discuss with him the crafting of magical artifacts and the forging of inscriptions...

They were truly kindred spirits.

Soon, the Qingyun Sect completely accepted this "junior sister".

As for Li Ping'an himself, his attributes before this great battle were as follows...

Rank 7 Master Founder (2325/5000).

The ninth level of the Transcendent Realm (2730/5000).

In preparation for this great battle, he directly refined all fifteen spiritual treasure materials, and his cultivation level and blacksmith level both increased by 1500 points!

Current level: Rank 7 Master Blacksmith (3825/5000).

Current cultivation level: Ninth level of the Transcendent Realm (4230/5000).

Now, the treasures and riches he plundered from the Nine Cauldrons Warehouse are simply countless, inexhaustible, and unimaginable...

So, it's time to start something big...

Li Ping'an decided to forge a truly supreme magic weapon!

That's right, not a talisman, not a magical treasure, but a real...

magic weapon!!!

A magic weapon is no ordinary item; it's enough for a seventh-grade sect to establish itself in the world, gather its fortune, and suppress its lineage!

Of course, at the same time, the amount of materials consumed was astronomical!

Li Ping'an estimated that the materials for one magic weapon were equivalent to at least dozens or even hundreds of spiritual treasures!

Of course, once it is successfully refined, its power will be boundless and terrifying!

More importantly, once I successfully refine a magic weapon, my cultivation level and the level of the Dao Forger will undoubtedly rise to an unprecedented level...

It’s unimaginable!

Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel extremely excited...

Yu Ni Chang, and all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, were equally curious...

What kind of magical and profound power will Li Ping'an's first-ever magic weapon possess, and what kind of "unorthodox yet highly effective" attributes will it incorporate?

Everyone is watching with bated breath!
