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

After saying that, Li Ping'an also picked up an axe and began to chop down the tree.

He walked toward a thicker tree and bounced on it.

Then he chopped it down with an axe.

He Wangshu, standing nearby, seemed to hear, "Grandpa, be careful not to strain your back."

Because Li Ping'an does look quite old.

He thought to himself, even though Li Ping'an has more experience than him.

But given his age, he's probably not much better off than him.

However, the next second, something happened that left him speechless.

Li Ping'an swung his axe down.

That incredibly sturdy ironwood was cleanly and neatly severed from the root.

With a loud thud, the iron tree fell to the ground, releasing plumes of dust.

But He Wangshu's mouth could never close again.

That force was way too much!

He couldn't help but rush over and see the iron tree that had been cut down.

The cut was perfectly smooth, as if it had been sliced ​​open in an instant.

No way! Grandpa Li is just too amazing!

This iron tree is so thick, yet it was sliced ​​open as easily as slicing tofu!

He stared at Li Ping'an with wide eyes, as if he were looking at a monster.

Li Ping'an laughed heartily and patted He Wangshu's head.

"How about it, Little Wangshu? I wasn't lying to you! These cycads are like chopping melons and vegetables in front of your grandpa! How about this, I'll cut down the trees, and you can gather and sort the firewood?"

"Okay, okay!"

He Wangshu nodded emphatically, his heart filled with joy.

With Grandpa Li as a strong teammate.

Five hundred catties of firewood a day shouldn't be a problem!

Two hours later.

An old man and a young boy each carried a large bundle of firewood on their backs as they walked down the mountain.

They arrived at the woodshed and dumped five hundred bundles of firewood inside.

Just then, the manager happened to pass by.

Seeing the two return so early, he couldn't help but frown and say something.

"Have you finished chopping? Come back now!"

He Wangshu excitedly shook his head at Steward Zhao.

"Steward! We've had enough!"

Manager Zhao stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He glanced at the two of them suspiciously and said.

"In less than two or three hours, you've already chopped down 500 jin?"

Without waiting for their reply, he walked straight into the woodshed.

We need to take a careful inventory.

However, after taking stock, he was finally shocked.

These two actually chopped down a full 500 jin!

You should know that even a young and strong laborer would need five hundred pounds of firewood.

It would take most of the day to chop it all up.

Unexpectedly, this old man and young boy were quite different; one was frail and elderly, the other too weak to even kill a chicken.

This duo managed to cut down enough enemies in just two or three hours.

That's way too exaggerated.

"Manager, is our next task to clean the alchemy furnace?"

Li Ping'an's voice suddenly rang out beside him.

This pulled Manager Zhao back from his shock.

Manager Zhao hesitated slightly, then nodded.

"Alright! Now that the firewood is all chopped, go clean the alchemy furnaces! The furnaces in rooms 17, 25, and 36 just exploded and urgently need cleaning! You two go and clean them, and while you're at it, learn from the other laborers!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an was immediately overjoyed.

Great! I can finally enter the alchemy room!

His Skybreaker Hammer hasn't been used in a long time!

He pulled Xiao Wangshu to the row of alchemy rooms they had just seen.

Upon finding the seventeenth alchemy room, Li Ping'an rushed inside without stopping.

The alchemy room was filled with a pungent stench.

A Taoist priest rushed out from inside, covering his mouth and nose.

Seeing Li Ping'an and He Wangshu, he asked, "Are you two here to clean the alchemy furnace?"

Li Pingan nodded.

The Taoist priest said impatiently, "Hurry up and go inside and clean it up! I still need to refine my pills!"

He even kicked He Wangshu in the butt.

He Wangshu felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.

But he could only lower his head and follow Li Ping'an into the alchemy room in a disheveled state.

The foul-smelling smoke in the alchemy room instantly made He Wangshu's eyes and nose run.

He quickly tore off a piece of his shirt to cover his mouth and nose.

They barely managed to make their way through the dim light in the alchemy room.

"Where did Grandpa Li go?"

He Wangshu walked a short distance but did not see Grandpa Li.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Grandpa Li couldn't stand the fumes and collapsed from poisoning?

It must be! How could someone so old withstand this fumes?

He immediately began to search his surroundings, trying to find Li Ping'an.

But there was no trace of Li Ping'an.

"Uncle Li! Where are you?"

He Wangshu was getting a little anxious.

You should know that Grandpa Li entered the sect with him.

She was essentially his pillar of support.

If Grandpa Li also falls, he's really worried that he won't be able to hold on in the sect.

After calling out several times, a lazy voice finally responded.

"Why did you call me?"

Uncle Li!

He Wangshu ran towards the sound.

He saw Li Ping'an looking at him calmly.

It seemed completely unaffected by the smoke in the alchemy room.

"Uncle Li! Where have you been? I thought you..."

Li Pingan glanced at He Wangshu and said, "I thought you'd been knocked unconscious by this smoke!"

He Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Come on, sir! Let's clean this alchemy furnace together! It's so dirty, I wonder what he's refining!"

As He Wangshu spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to climb into the alchemy furnace to clean it.

However, Li Ping'an stopped him and said...

"No need! I've already cleaned it all up!"

Upon hearing this, He Wangshu froze on the spot.

No! Sir, what did you say? You've already finished cleaning?

How long has it been? You've finished cleaning everything?

Somewhat skeptical, he poked his little head into the alchemy furnace.

But they found that the alchemy furnace was spotless, without even a speck of dust!

No way! You're moving way too fast!

Li Ping'an's actions completely shocked He Wangshu.

He had also cleaned the alchemy furnace before.

Previously, when I entered the Danxian Sect to take the alchemy apprentice assessment.

He had also witnessed others cleaning the alchemy furnace and had even lent a hand to them.

This job is incredibly painful.

They had to endure the stench and fumes.

They also had to be washed and scrubbed in the filthy alchemy furnace.

It can be described as an extremely difficult and painful task.

Unexpectedly, Li Ping'an took care of it in just a few minutes!

"What's so difficult about that!"

Li Ping'an spoke somewhat casually.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here!"

After saying that, he pulled the shocked He Wangshu out of the alchemy room.

Outside the alchemy room, the Taoist priest was brushing the dust off his clothes.

Then Li Pingan and He Wangshu came out.

He couldn't help but frown.

"I told you two to clean the alchemy room, what are you doing out here?"

"It's all cleaned up!" Li Ping'an said calmly.

"Is the cleaning finished?"

The Taoist priest frowned and said, "Old man! Don't try to play tricks on me! I still need to refine pills later! If you delay my pill refining progress, can you afford to compensate me?"

Li Pingan said calmly, "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?"

"good!"

The Taoist priest sneered and said, "If I find even a speck of dust, I'll tear you limb from limb!"
