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

So he nodded and said, "Yes, this guy said I was a handyman and wouldn't let me in. He said I'm not even as good as a dog."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang's face turned frosty.

You should know that Li Ping'an was his savior.

Moreover, he possessed immense strength and won the championship in this trial competition.

How dare this blind steward speak to Li Ping'an like that!

He immediately rebuked the steward.

"Open your dog eyes and look! This is the champion of your trial competition! How dare you be so rude to him!"

"What?"

The butler, who was still in a daze, almost froze on the spot upon hearing this.

What did you say? You said that this handyman disciple, this frail old handyman, is actually the champion of this trial competition?

Did he hear that right? Is there something wrong with his ears?

Isn't the title of champion reserved for those already established geniuses?

In his mind, only someone like Senior Brother Tang Jiannan could win the top spot.

Upon hearing this news, his mind went blank, as if struck by lightning.

He remembered how rude he had been to Li Ping'an just now.

At this moment, he was filled with deep regret.

Even though Li Ping'an was a handyman, he still won the championship in this trial competition!

Who among those who won this trial competition isn't a ruthless person?

Which one can he afford to offend?

Without a word, the steward immediately slid down and knelt in front of Li Ping'an.

He kowtowed repeatedly as he spoke.

"Uncle Li! Senior Li! I'm so sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! I've offended you! I'm so sorry!"

He apologized frantically, repeatedly kowtowing on the ground until his head bled.

Seeing his dog-like behavior, Li Ping'an didn't bother arguing with him.

In fact, there are far too many people like this in the sect.

He's seen so much over the years that he's become numb to it all.

Without saying a word, he followed Lu Shuang into the treasure pavilion.

"Senior, if you're still not satisfied, I can give this guy a good beating to vent your anger."

Lu Shuang said to Li Ping'an as they walked.

Li Pingan waved his hand and said.

"Forget it, there are too many people like this. I'm used to it. Why bother arguing with such petty people?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuang admired Li Ping'an even more.

This demonstrates the magnanimity and vision of our predecessors.

You can laugh it off even if you are insulted like this.

This is the mindset and perspective of a true master.

It seems that Lu Shuang still has a lot to learn.

Lu Shuang and I walked into the treasure pavilion together.

With Lu Shuang leading the way, Li Ping'an finally realized that this treasure pavilion was truly enormous.

Before my eyes was a dazzling array of magical treasures and cultivation techniques.

He was so confused by all the choices that he had no idea how to decide.

Now that we have Lu Shuang as our guide, wouldn't that make things twice as easy?

So he nodded and said, "That's perfect, I was just wondering which cultivation method to choose."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang's eyes lit up.

"Sir, are you looking to choose a cultivation technique? What type of technique are you looking for? I can recommend one."

Li Pingan thought for a moment and then said.

"I want to choose a spell that can be cast immediately, not the kind of cultivation method that requires a long period of practice."

"You want to choose magic?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang finally understood.

Originally, cultivation techniques were the spells that cultivators practiced for a long time, used to solidify their foundation and enhance their overall strength.

Spells, on the other hand, are magic spells that cultivators can instantly activate after training, used for combat.

So he nodded and said, "Yes, I want to change a few spells. I don't know any spells yet."

Lu Shuang smiled gently and said.

"Senior, you don't need to worry. With your thousand-plus points, you could exchange them for countless high-level techniques in this treasure pavilion. By the way, what kind of spiritual root do you have? I can help you choose a cultivation technique based on your spiritual root."

Spiritual root?

Li Pingan was stunned.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he had never tested his spiritual roots.

He actually has the spiritual roots of the Five Elements.

To put it simply, it has all kinds of spiritual roots, including the five major spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

However, this kind of spiritual root is the most useless kind of spiritual root.

Because cultivation emphasizes having as few spiritual roots as possible.

Only those with fewer spiritual roots can cultivate faster.

People with many spiritual roots will experience conflicts between their spiritual energies during cultivation, leading to an unstable foundation and slow cultivation speed.

So he honestly replied, "I have the Five Elements Spiritual Roots."

"Five Elements Spiritual Roots?"

Lu Shuang was even more surprised after hearing this.

He never expected that Li Ping'an actually possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

It's truly rare to see someone with five elemental roots being this strong.

Lu Shuang hesitated about the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

There are very few spells in this treasure pavilion that are suitable for cultivation based on the five elements.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Shuang said.

"Sir, how about I recommend you exchange for a copy of the Qimen Liujia Manual?"

"The Six Secrets of Qimen Dunjia?"

Upon hearing the name, Li Ping'an asked with some confusion, "What kind of cultivation technique is this?"

Lu Shuang said, "This cultivation technique has a very wide scope, involving the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is most suitable for someone like you with the spiritual roots of the five elements to cultivate."

"What do you mean by 'extremely broad coverage'?" Li Ping'an continued to ask.

Lu Shuang explained patiently.

"It is not only an offensive technique, nor a defensive technique, nor a support technique. It combines all of these types. Once you master the Qimen Liujia Technique, you can simultaneously control multiple techniques."

"Is that so?"

Li Ping'an's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

This sounds like an excellent technique.

Moreover, it perfectly matches his Five Elements spiritual root.

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll exchange for this cultivation technique!"

"It's possible, but..."

Lu Shuang hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, this Qimen Liujia Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. To date, I have never seen anyone cultivate it to more than the third level; at most, they get stuck at the second level. Senior, are you sure you want to choose this technique?"

"Is it that difficult?"

Li Ping'an frowned.

He then remembered that he had the Sky-Splitting Hammer, a cheat-like item, in his possession.

Why would I worry about the progress of my cultivation technique?

So he nodded confidently and said, "Yes! I want this technique!"

"OK!"

Lu Shuang nodded.

Given his status as the champion in this sect trial, he believed that his senior would definitely be able to master this technique.

So he took Li Ping'an to the treasure pavilion and took the cultivation manual.

Take it to the front desk to exchange it.

The deacon on duty at the front desk at this moment.

Upon seeing Li Ping'an return, he slid to his knees again and kowtowed frantically to Li Ping'an.

While Li Ping'an was inside exchanging for the cultivation technique, he became increasingly frightened and terrified as he thought about it outside.

He was terrified that Li Ping'an would punish him severely after he came out, which would be extremely bad.

However, Li Ping'an merely glanced at him coldly and said...

"I want to exchange for this cultivation technique. Please register it for me."

The steward looked up and glanced at the cultivation manual in Li Ping'an's hand.

He quickly and eagerly replied, "Okay! Okay!"
