Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Manager Wang turned and left. There was still a large pile of poison on the ground, and the poison was emitting a pungent stench.

These are all highly poisonous substances that Manager Wang specially left for Li Ping'an!

Li Ping'an looked at the poisonous creature in front of him, his eyes filled with joy!

This is a valuable cultivation resource! It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep!

At this moment, Li Ping'an's breathing gradually became rapid.

Yesterday, in order to break through to the sixth level of Body Tempering, he had exhausted all the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Hammer.

He was still worried yesterday about how to replenish his spiritual energy, but unexpectedly, Manager Wang delivered a generous gift early this morning.

With this batch of highly poisonous substances, Duan Tianchui could refine them in an instant.

After refining it, one's strength will naturally undergo a tremendous change.

At that time, these problems can be easily solved, and spiritual energy will increase significantly.

Li Ping'an suddenly frowned.

A sense of unease gradually arose in his heart. If he hadn't awakened the Heavenly Hammer today, these things would probably have taken his life.

This Manager Wang is utterly incompetent! His actions are so despicable! They are utterly disgusting.

Upon realizing this, the joy on his face vanished, replaced by a chill.

He had no grudge against Zhang Luming, yet with just one sentence, the other party pressed him relentlessly, determined to kill him!

That's a bit too narrow-minded!

Now, all I can do is seize the time to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can we protect ourselves!

Otherwise, you'll be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!

Li Ping'an took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

After looking around to make sure no one was around, Li Ping'an raised his hand, and an ancient-looking hammer appeared in his palm.

Forged Sky Hammer!

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Heaven-Forging Hammer emitted a buzzing sound.

A domineering power emanated from the ground, enveloping the poisonous creatures!

In an instant, the poisonous substances scattered on the ground seemed to be attracted to the Heaven-Forging Hammer like iron filings to a magnet.

No matter how deadly the toxin was, it was completely purified under the overwhelming power of the Heaven-Forging Hammer!

Then it all transformed into strands of incredibly pure spiritual energy, flowing into Li Ping'an's body along the body of the Heaven-Forging Hammer.

Ah!

Comfortable!

Feeling the pure power suddenly surging into his body,

Li Ping'an sighed comfortably, looking up at the sky.

This box contains poison.

Compared to the discarded pills that Li Ping'an had cleaned up before, the toxins were many times more potent!

As expected of Manager Wang who meticulously prepared this for him!

How much do they want him dead!

Unfortunately, they have all become Li Ping'an's cultivation resources!

That's it, the more toxic the better!

The more intense, the better!

Li Pingan murmured,

That way he can gain more power!

At this moment, Li Ping'an felt extremely comfortable as his entire body was being cleansed by spiritual energy.

Blood and qi surged throughout my body.

Even his hunched back seemed to straighten a bit at that moment.

I don't know how much time passed.

The sun had just risen a little, and its soft light was falling.

The disciples of the abandoned hall, who had been fast asleep, woke up and prepared to begin their day's work. But when they pushed open the door, they were all stunned.

They saw that Old Man Li was actually in the courtyard, breathing heavily over a pile of highly toxic substances that emitted a foul stench.

Look at him, he seems to be enjoying it!

Is this really correct?

How could they not be afraid at all, and even seem to be enjoying it so much?

The group of disciples stared at Li Ping'an in shock, unable to react for a moment.

Li Ping'an feigned a violent cough, his face contorted in embarrassment:

"Cough cough...cough cough cough!"

"It's nothing, don't make a fuss. It's just a pair of scraps and debris. I'm dealing with it right now."

"What?"

Those present were immediately taken aback and puzzled.

Are you really letting Old Man Li handle all these poisons by himself?

When the disciples saw the poisonous creature on the ground, their faces turned pale, and they felt a wave of nausea.

"What are all these things?!"

"I can't take it anymore! Is this even something a human can handle?"

He Lu looked at Li Ping'an with concern and patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother Li, that Supervisor Wang is clearly after you!"

"Why don't you just run away? At most you'll get a few words of punishment now, but at least you can save your life. If this continues, you'll be in serious trouble."

The disciples below nodded in agreement, looking at Li Ping'an with concern.

In their view, if Li Ping'an stayed in the abandoned hall any longer, he would surely die.

Everyone started talking at once.

Li Ping'an remained unmoved, but a warm smile appeared on his aged face.

For over sixty years in the Tongtian Sword Sect

What kind of situation hasn't he seen?

What kind of human nature haven't I seen?

Those high and mighty inner disciples, in their eyes, only ever cared about resources, spirit stones, and longevity.

Only those who are indiscriminate in their forging skills, and only those who prioritize profit above all else.

Only these menial disciples at the very bottom of the sect still retain their humanity!

"Don't worry about me!"

After everyone finished speaking, Li Ping'an shook his head, his tone extremely firm:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You all go about your business; I'll figure out how to handle these things."

Despite everyone's repeated attempts to persuade him, Li Ping'an simply shook his head.

He smiled bitterly to himself. These people were genuinely looking out for him, but how could they know that these poisons were actually very useful to him?

Knowing they could offer no further advice, the crowd could only shake their heads, sigh, and leave.

After everyone left, Li Ping'an continued to absorb the nutrients.

At this moment, his cultivation level was steadily increasing under the impetus of spiritual energy.

He had already reached the perfect sixth level of Body Tempering, and was only one step away from the seventh level.

Feeling the power within him that was several times stronger than yesterday, Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

Just keep improving a little bit every day.

At this moment, Li Ping'an felt his body filled with an incomparably powerful force.

The spiritual energy absorbed by the Heaven-Forging Hammer cleansed his flesh and blood. Driven by this spiritual energy, he felt incredibly strong, as if he could kill a bull with a single punch.

Li Pingan clenched his fist and suddenly remembered the set of boxing techniques he had practiced yesterday.

I wonder what will be different if I practice this set of boxing techniques again today?

As one's strength increases, will this set of boxing techniques improve further?

With that in mind, Li Ping'an immediately began practicing the ancient boxing routine in the courtyard.

Compared to yesterday, Li Ping'an seemed to have gained new insights into this set of boxing techniques today. He set up his stance in the courtyard, and every move he made exuded the demeanor of a grandmaster.

"Hey!"

Li Ping'an threw a punch, and a whooshing sound filled the air as it was delivered with powerful force.

Upon glancing at a dilapidated bluestone pillar in the courtyard, Li Ping'an immediately stepped forward and punched the pillar.
