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

The waiter respectfully helped Li Ping'an to a reclining chair and poured him some water.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go find it for you right away."

"Alright! My patience is limited. If I still haven't found it after finishing this cup of tea, I'm going to have a serious talk with the person in charge!"

Li Pingan snorted coldly.

The waiter nodded repeatedly, then scurried off to find the item.

Watching the waiter's disheveled figure as he left, Li Ping'an felt a surge of secret satisfaction!

Sure enough, money talks!

As for finding a cultivation technique, he wasn't worried at all.

The waiter is very familiar with this place; he'll definitely be able to find a suitable cultivation method.

A moment later, the waiter came running back, beaming, carrying the basic martial arts manual in his hands, and said respectfully:

"Come on, sir! Take a look. These are some martial arts manuals I've picked out for you. They're all high-quality and inexpensive. Please take a look."

"Let me introduce you," Li Ping'an said casually, squinting as he took a sip of tea.

The waiter nodded obediently, picked up a manual, and gave a simple introduction:

"Sir, this cultivation technique is called Taiyi Guiyuan Jue. It's the best technique in our shop, the most popular one, and it's not expensive, only five hundred spirit stones."

Five hundred yuan?

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

Five hundred yuan isn't expensive?

Li Ping'an felt a surge of displeasure; he hadn't brought that many spirit stones with him.

His expression remained calm: "Anything else?"

"Absolutely! Our Soul Devouring Body Refining Technique is an extremely powerful cultivation method. It's also a body refining technique, which is very suitable for you. Moreover, it's excellent value for money, costing only six hundred spirit stones."

Li Ping'an frowned, displeased, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"And there's the Returning Origin Sword Technique. This is a sword cultivation technique, and sword cultivation techniques are usually very expensive, but this one only costs a thousand spirit stones!"

After saying that, the waiter's face was full of flattery.

Li Ping'an knew perfectly well that the waiter in front of him was trying to curry favor with him.

However, I didn't bring enough spirit stones. Isn't this making things difficult for myself?

Li Ping'an snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, glaring at the waiter with a hostile expression:

"Look at yourself! How old am I? And you're making me practice swordsmanship?"

"Either body tempering or...? Can my body handle that?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter broke out in a cold sweat again: "My lord, what exactly do you want?"

Li Ping'an continued, "Go quickly and find me a suitable cultivation method, preferably one appropriate for my age!"

With a wry smile, the waiter rushed off to the cultivation technique section to select a technique for Li Ping'an.

After a short while, he said, "Grandpa, look at this book called Taiyi Qi-Inducing Technique. It's a breathing exercise. But don't be fooled by its name; it actually comes from the Taiyi Mystic Sect! This technique is most suitable for a late bloomer like you with a calm and composed personality."

"Hmm, this one is not bad."

Li Ping'an's eyes lit up.

For an old and frail cultivator like him, this breathing technique is most suitable.

"Oh, how much?"

Li Pingan asked, feigning indifference.

"Sir, this cultivation manual is cheap. It's just a method for cultivating immortality and nourishing the body. You can get it for one hundred spirit stones in our shop."

"Good, not bad."

Li Pingan nodded and said.

"I came here today specifically to buy a cultivation technique for breathing exercises. This technique is quite good; I'll take it."

Li Ping'an didn't try to bargain either; large stores like Wanbaoge usually don't bargain with customers.

After purchasing the Xuan Tian Qi Guiding Technique, Li Ping'an walked out of Wanbaoge without looking back.

Watching Li Ping'an's departing figure, the waiter muttered to himself.

"I never expected this old man to be a tycoon. I really misjudged him this time."

Just as he was about to return to the shop to continue serving other customers, a burly man suddenly walked up to him, grabbed him by the neck, and asked him menacingly.

"Tell me, who was that old man? What did he buy? How much did he spend?"

Uh, the waiter was suddenly grabbed by the big man and couldn't move for a moment. Even the tip of his nose was filled with the big man's bad breath, which made him very scared.

"Sir, what are you doing? Let's talk this out!"

"Speak up, or I'll snap your neck!"

Uh, the waiter was terrified and immediately told him everything Li Ping'an had done, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

Hmm, they even bought a cultivation technique that only costs one hundred spirit stones!

This old man is actually so rich?

That's interesting!

The burly man in black looked in the direction where Li Ping'an had disappeared and grinned maliciously.

Meanwhile, after buying the cultivation technique, Li Ping'an continued to stroll around the market, planning to return to his sect after a few more rounds.

It was already evening, and the lanterns in the market were just coming on, their dazzling light making the place even more lively.

"Come and have a look, sir!"

At the entrance of the brothel, several scantily clad female clerks enthusiastically solicited passersby, striking seductive poses and displaying their allure.

Many passing cultivators were tempted by their demeanor and followed them inside with lecherous eyes, while many others with firm wills walked past with righteous indignation, heads held high and chests out, without glancing to the side.

This is the largest entertainment venue in the market, Lichun Courtyard. Many cultivators spend dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones there every month.

This place is both a huge, bottomless pit of spirit stones and a haven for countless disillusioned cultivators.

"Grandpa, come and play!"

A female cultivator from the brothel patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder as he watched the commotion from the sidelines, and said in a seductive tone.

However, when Li Pingan turned around, she was completely stunned.

Grandpa! He really is a grandpa!

She saw that Li Ping'an looked to be at least seventy, if not eighty. A look of disdain immediately crossed her face, and she turned and left.

"etc!"

Suddenly the old man called out to her.

"You said you came here to have fun, what's fun to do here?"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator from the brothel was shocked. This old man was actually a lecherous old man?

But as long as you have money in your pocket, who cares about your age?

She immediately curled her lips into a seductive smile, placed her delicate hand on Li Ping'an's shoulder, and said.

"Sir, you'll see once you go inside; there are tons of things to do there."

"Alright, then lead the way for me."

Li Ping'an said, and followed the female cultivators of Lichun Courtyard into Lichun Courtyard.

The crowd of onlookers was stunned.

Good heavens, what kind of world is this? Even old men are like this? He's so old, how can he still manage?

Various criticisms reached Li Ping'an's ears, but Li Ping'an remained unmoved.

Ignoring the strange looks from those around him, Li Ping'an followed the alluring female cultivator into the Lichun Courtyard.

Upon entering the Lichun Courtyard, Li Ping'an finally understood what it meant to be surrounded by beautiful women.

Before me was a spacious hall, decorated with bright lights and a riot of colors.
