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

Overjoyed, Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly helped Li Ping'an pack up the talismans.

And then it ran happily towards the room of the Master of Wanbaoge.

A short while later, the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion came out in person.

Upon seeing Li Ping'an, he immediately beamed with joy and said...

"Senior, is it important that you're buying so many things today?"

As the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion, he was quite well-informed.

He was fully aware of all the major events that had occurred at the Tongtian Sword Sect during this period.

Li Ping'an's purchase of so many items suggests something big is about to happen.

That's why I came here specifically to find out.

Li Ping'an simply stated while displaying the sign.

"I'm just on a long trip ordered by the sect leader! Could you give me a discount on these things?"

The Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge smiled slightly and said.

"Since you're on a long journey at the sect leader's behest, I naturally can't refuse to support you. How about this: I'll give you a discount on these two magical artifacts; the total price is seven thousand spirit stones, sold as a package deal. How does that sound?"

Li Pingan nodded.

At seven thousand spirit stones, that's equivalent to each magic weapon being cheaper by one thousand spirit stones.

The discount is huge.

"These talismans..." the Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion said with a wave of his hand, "two thousand spirit stones, all sold to you as a package!"

"OK!"

Li Ping'an nodded and said, "As expected of the Pavilion Master, you are truly magnanimous and generous!"

The owner of Wanbaoge waved his hand and said, "These are nothing, please come again in the future!"

Li Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course!"

After buying all these things, Li Ping'an only had 10,000 spirit stones left.

There are so many spirit stones!

Li Pingan couldn't help but say that he never expected to be so rich.

He bought so much stuff through revenge spending, and still has half of his net worth left.

This financial power is simply terrifying.

After buying things from Wanbaoge, Li Pingan hurriedly went to another place.

That place was naturally Lichun Garden.

In the courtyard, Nanzhi was embroidering some kind of pattern on a handkerchief, her face full of seriousness.

But then a maid came to report.

"Miss, Mr. Li has come to see you!"

Grandpa Li is here!

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi's eyes lit up immediately.

Grandpa Li hasn't come for a long time.

However, he also learned during this time that something major seemed to have happened at the Tongtian Sword Sect.

Therefore, I completely understand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the matter was over, Li Ping'an came to see him immediately.

It seems he still loves himself.

Nanzhi rushed out excitedly and spotted Li Ping'an at a glance.

Li Ping'an appeared to be even younger than before.

His aura seemed much stronger now.

"Uncle Li, you've come to see me!"

Nan Zhi, as excited as a chirping little bird, grabbed Li Ping'an's arm.

They were about to pull Li Ping'an to check in.

Then they started serving tea and water, preparing to moisten Li Ping'an's throat first.

However, Li Ping'an did manage to stop him.

He said to Nanzhi with a solemn expression.

"Nanzhi, I'm leaving soon this time! And I won't be back for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Nanzhi's hand, which was pouring tea, suddenly froze.

His eyes were full of doubt and confusion as he looked at Li Ping'an and said.

"Uncle Li, what happened? Why are you..."

Li Pingan shook his head and sighed.

"Many significant events have occurred within the sect recently, and I must embark on a long journey!"

Nanzhi's initially excited eyes instantly dimmed.

He put down his teacup, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.

Seeing Nanzhi's appearance, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

I just wanted to say, "Nam Gyi, why don't you come with me?"

But in the end, he held back.

He did intend to take Nanzhi with him before.

However, after this series of major events, Li Ping'an gave up the idea.

It's too dangerous for me to follow you.

You should know that he is not only being hunted down by the Holy Maiden, but also being targeted by the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

Whether I can survive after leaving the market is unknown.

How could he take Nanzhi with him?

"Nanzhi, listen to me! One day I will come back to find you! Just wait for me here!"

Nanzhi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He said it in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I, Nanzhi, have made up my mind about you and will never fall in love with anyone else! Go ahead and do your thing, I'll be here waiting for you!"

Hearing this, Li Ping'an felt a slight touch of emotion.

Nanzhi is such a good girl.

If it weren't for my current extremely difficult situation...

Having Nanzhi by your side would be a joy.

There's just nothing we can do about it.

"These spirit stones are for you!"

Li Ping'an took out a full thousand spirit stones from his person and handed them to Nan Zhi.

"These spirit stones will be enough for you for a while! I've also absorbed all the cold poison from your body. You can start cultivating now!"

Nanzhi was shocked to see so many spirit stones.

"Uncle Li, where did you get so many spirit stones? This is too much; I don't need it!"

Li Ping'an then earnestly handed the spirit stone to Nan Zhi and said...

"Now that you can cultivate, you'll naturally need these! Cultivation consumes a lot of spirit stones! Take these! I hope that when I see you again, your cultivation will have reached a certain level!"

Upon hearing this, Nanzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Then, with a firm look in his eyes, he said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li! I won't hold you back! I'll work hard at my cultivation! When you see me again, my cultivation level will definitely be quite high!"

Hearing this, Li Ping'an smiled slightly.

He patted Nanzhi's head and said.

"This is my beloved Nanzhi!"

After exchanging a few more words, the two of them...

No matter how Nan Zhi tried to persuade him to stay, Li Ping'an resolutely got up and left Lichun Garden.

He had originally wanted to spend one last tender moment with Nanzhi.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

He had no idea what the current situation was with the Tongtian Sword Sect.

He cannot let a woman ruin his important plans.

Li Ping'an walked out of Lichun Garden without the slightest hesitation.

We left the market.

Then he took out the flying giant sword that Liu Jinhu had given him from his bosom.

Standing atop the giant sword, Li Ping'an subtly channeled his spiritual power into it.

The giant sword trembled slightly, carrying Li Ping'an into the sky.

Suddenly soaring into the sky, Li Ping'an was startled.

This was his first time using a flying artifact, and he was still quite unaccustomed to it.

As the scenery below grew smaller and smaller, Li Ping'an became somewhat flustered and disoriented.

He only just realized that he actually has acrophobia.

I took a deep breath to calm myself.

Li Pingan steadily controlled the flying sword as it flew through the air.

Before long, he gradually adapted to the height and his mind calmed down.

He sat cross-legged on the flying sword, looking down at the magnificent landscape below.

I never knew flying felt so exhilarating!

No wonder those highly skilled cultivators like to fly around so often.

Looking down at the beautiful scenery, Li Ping'an sighed in admiration.

At the same time, he still cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

He was afraid that one or two cultivators would suddenly appear and intercept him.

However, the flight was unimpeded.

They didn't even encounter a single cultivator.

Li Pingan flew like this for three days and three nights before finally landing to rest.
