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

That invisible sense of oppression would make anyone who came tremble with fear.

At this moment, He Wangshu was so frightened that he could not speak.

Seeing that He Wangshu remained silent, Elder Huolong's eyes surged with murderous intent.

Just as he was about to kill He Wangshu with a single blow.

Li Ping'an walked in from outside the door.

"Elder, wait!"

Upon seeing Li Ping'an walk in, Elder Huolong's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.

"Who are you? Who let you in?"

Li Ping'an nodded and bowed, speaking respectfully.

"Elder, I am this child's uncle. He ruined two batches of pills for you, and I have come to apologize to him."

Elder Huolong squinted at He Wangshu, then at Li Ping'an.

"You're just a menial disciple, what right do you have to boss me around? Believe me or not, I'll kill you too!"

Li Pingan smiled slightly and said.

"Elder, you've prepared so many materials just to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Don't you want to succeed? I can help you refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Can you help me refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Elder Huolong raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Ping'an with some disbelief.

"You're just a menial disciple, what makes you think you have alchemy skills?"

Li Pingan shook his head and said.

"I often help others manage the furnace and control the fire, and I am already extremely skilled. I swear to you, I can definitely master it. If I fail, you may take my life as you please."

Elder Huolong looked Li Ping'an up and down, a hint of interest rising in his eyes.

"Alright! Anyway, I prepared three sets of materials, and this kid wasted two of them. There's still one left! Come on! You practice it for me! If it still doesn't work..."

"no problem!"

After saying that, Li Ping'an immediately climbed into the alchemy furnace and began cleaning it.

He also has a Skybreaker Hammer.

Gathering their strength, they slammed the hammer down hard on the remaining Foundation Establishment Pill.

With a loud bang, the remaining Foundation Establishment Pill shattered.

It turned into a pile of fragments, leaving only a few essences in the alchemy furnace.

It seems that won't work.

Li Ping'an was somewhat disappointed, but then realized it was normal.

I may not have mastered the Heaven-Splitting Hammer to that extent yet.

However, at least these few essential elements were preserved.

Li Pingan collected all the items before climbing out.

"Alright, let's begin refining the pills!"

Elder Fire Dragon continued to throw the alchemy materials into the furnace and began refining pills.

This time, Li Ping'an will personally oversee the fire.

Li Ping'an is extremely skilled in fire control.

After all, he had helped Qingyue and Hongling refine quite a few pills back then.

He was already extremely skilled in fire control techniques.

Seeing that Elder Huolong was still pouring spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace.

Feeling the intense surge of spiritual energy within the alchemy furnace.

Li Ping'an threw all the wisps of Foundation Establishment Pill essence he had just collected into the alchemy furnace.

It was used to suppress the Fire Dragon Elder's violent spiritual power.

Sure enough, with the clash of the two forces, the spiritual energy inside the alchemy furnace was much more moderate.

After they neutralize each other, the oven will no longer explode.

Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted out from the alchemy furnace.

Elder Fire Dragon sniffed the air and was immediately overjoyed.

"It's done!"

He immediately lifted the lid of the furnace and saw two crystal-clear pills lying inside.

The Foundation Establishment Pill has been successfully made! Although it's a low-grade one.

But Elder Fire Dragon was so excited that he danced with joy.

You should know that he was a hopeless alchemy failure.

Unexpectedly, Li Ping'an actually succeeded in refining the pill for him.

Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if Elder Fire Dragon could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, he initially thought he could break the remaining Foundation Establishment Pill into a Foundation Establishment Pill to deal with Elder Fire Dragon.

Unexpectedly, it didn't work.

However, it does contain the essence of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which can suppress the domineering power within the pill furnace.

That's how the Foundation Establishment Pill was successfully refined.

Elder Fire Dragon was overjoyed as he held the two Foundation Establishment Pills.

He glanced at Li Ping'an and said, "You're not bad!"

Li Ping'an smiled modestly and said, "This is all thanks to Elder Fire Dragon's superb alchemy skills!"

Elder Huolong laughed heartily, glanced at He Wangshu, and said.

"You should learn from your uncle!"

By this time, he was in a much better mood and no longer thought about taking He Wangshu's life.

Elder Huolong put the two pills into his pocket and looked Li Ping'an up and down.

Suddenly, a wisp of divine consciousness entered Li Ping'an's mind.

"What is your purpose in coming to our sect?"

Feeling that divine sense enter his mind, Li Ping'an was startled.

This divine thought belonged to Elder Fire Dragon.

He looked at Elder Fire Dragon with some surprise.

Elder Fire Dragon's divine sense arrived once more.

"Do you think I can't tell you're at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an suddenly realized the truth.

Oh no! Elder Fire Dragon has seen through my true cultivation level.

But that makes sense, considering Elder Fire Dragon is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

How could I possibly hide my cultivation level from him?

Li Ping'an was rapidly considering how to deal with Elder Fire Dragon.

Elder Fire Dragon then sent another divine thought.

"You came to our sect to get Foundation Establishment Pills, right?"

Foundation Building Pill!

Li Ping'an was startled; Elder Fire Dragon had actually guessed his thoughts.

He does indeed want to get his hands on the Foundation Establishment Pill now.

So they decided to just lay their cards on the table.

A divine thought was transmitted back and said.

"Elder, in my later years I finally reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage and wanted to try my luck at Foundation Establishment. However, I lack Foundation Establishment materials, so I came to the Danxian Sect to try my luck and see if I could obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Elder Fire Dragon was not annoyed by these words.

Instead, he said, "Forget about becoming a handyman. Here's what we'll do: if you want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, I have a job for you. After you finish, you'll receive a piece of lightning-struck jujube wood as a pill-refining ingredient. How about it? Want to go?"

Upon hearing Elder Huolong's words, Li Ping'an was startled.

I never expected that Elder Fire Dragon would give me a task.

Moreover, the reward for completing the task is a material for refining a Foundation Establishment Pill – lightning-struck jujube wood!

Lightning-struck jujube wood is extremely rare.

Hearing this, Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

However, he quickly calmed down.

This lightning-struck jujube wood is so precious, it probably won't be easy to obtain.

So he carefully sent a wisp of divine thought to ask.

"May I ask, Elder, what is the mission?"

Elder Fire Dragon replied.

"This task is simple. Go to Pingyang Kingdom or Dacheng Kingdom and find a mortal. He has a Soul-Hiding Flower that I need. Retrieve it and I will reward you."

Just going to the mortal realm to retrieve something?

Li Ping'an was overjoyed, but he quickly calmed down.

You should know that jujube wood struck by lightning is an extremely precious material.

Is it really possible to obtain something simply by going to a mortal realm to retrieve it?

There must be some danger involved.

But that's jujube wood struck by lightning!

Li Ping'an's thoughts raced for a few moments, then he nodded emphatically.

"Okay! I agree! I'm willing to take this mission!"

Elder Fire Dragon gave Li Ping'an a somewhat satisfied look.

"I'll tell you the location. I'll talk to Manager Zhao. You can just go directly there!"
