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

Nanzhi sat down opposite him, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an took a sip of wine. He then saw Nan Zhi staring intently at him.

"Miss Nan, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have some kind of gold or silver treasure on me?"

Li Ping'an felt quite uncomfortable being stared at, and joked about it.

Suddenly, Nanzhi's eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face.

This scene completely startled Li Ping'an, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

What's going on?

Why did you suddenly start crying?

Could it be that the thought of drinking with this old man made her so sad that she cried?

"Miss, why are you crying?"

Just as Li Ping'an was at a loss, Nan Zhi wiped away her tears and began to tell her about her background:

"I was originally a cultivator with quite good aptitude."

"My family once took pride in me and regarded me as their hope. They even spent a lot of money to send me to a sect to cultivate."

"However, for some reason, one day I suddenly contracted a cold poison that caused me to lose all my cultivation, and the doctor even predicted that I would not live past the age of thirty."

Nanzhi recounted her life story, her tone filled with grievance.

Although Li Ping'an didn't know why she suddenly started talking about her background, he could guess the general idea from Nan Zhi's words.

No wonder the Heaven-Forging Hammer absorbed Nan Zhi so quickly after he came into contact with her; it turns out it was because of the cold poison in Nan Zhi's body!

It seems this cold poison is indeed something special. Even he, who has seen so many poisonous hammers, was so excited after seeing Nan Zhi.

He was pondering how to find an excuse to absorb all the cold poison from Nanzhi's body when Nanzhi suddenly said:

"The moment I touched you, I felt as if there was a furnace inside you, which instantly melted away some of the cold poison that had been in my body for many years. I have never felt so comfortable before."

"Sir, I heard you once manipulated the Heavenly Bell. Tell me, how were you able to neutralize my cold poison?"

Well.....

Li Ping'an suddenly realized why Nan Zhi had asked him to go back to the room with her; that was the reason.

He hesitated for a long time, unsure how to answer, when suddenly Nan Zhi blinked her beautiful eyes and said:

"Sir, the moment I saw you, I sensed your extraordinary bearing, so different from everyone else. You clearly belong to a reclusive master who has lived in seclusion for many years. You...you wouldn't happen to be a high-ranking cultivator from our sect, disguised as an old man, coming down to experience the mundane world, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an was immediately speechless, thinking to himself:

This girl certainly has a vivid imagination.

However, as long as he can legitimately treat his cold poison, he can think whatever he wants.

Cough!

Li Ping'an puffed out his chest and became solemn and serious:

"Actually, I'm just an old man who's become so used to those sycophants that I'm more willing to get down to earth and meet more ordinary people."

Li Ping'an did not directly admit that he was a powerful cultivator, but this made it easy for people to misunderstand.

"Really?"

Nanzhi immediately stood up, her face beaming with excitement and her eyes filled with admiration, and said:

"I implore you, senior, to heal the cold poison within my body, so that Nanzhi can do whatever she wants!"

You can do anything?

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an's mind immediately began to race with thoughts, but he quickly regained his composure and said...

"Although the cold poison in your body is very potent, it's nothing compared to what I have. I can easily clear it away."

"Really? Is it really possible?"

Nanzhi's eyes lit up.

"Senior, are you really able to clear the cold toxins from my body?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Li Ping'an nodded:

"But... you have to tell me, why should I help you clear the cold poison?"

As he spoke, Li Ping'an looked Nan Zhi up and down, his expression revealing ill intent.

Nan Zhi's heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Ping'an's lewd gaze!

Goodness, could this old guy be a pervert?

He's already so old, and he still wants to...

But in order to regain my strength, I'll give it my all!

Nan Zhi gritted her teeth.

"Senior, if you're willing to help me recover from the cold poison, I'll stay with you tonight!"

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed and she lowered her head, but the meaning she wanted to express was already quite clear.

For a moment, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"hey-hey....."

Li Ping'an smiled lewdly.

"I don't want this, I want something else..."

"What do you want???"

Nan Zhi's expression changed. Did this old man want to try something funny?

At such an advanced age, how can you still want to play such fancy games?

Enough, enough, for the sake of my cultivation...

Nanzhi was struggling with her thoughts when Li Ping'an continued:

"I can't clear this cold toxin from your body in one go."

"How about this? I'll come regularly to clear your cold poison. Each time, you give me 100 spirit stones. How about that? Reasonable, right?"

It's just spirit stones?

Nanzhi froze for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

She had initially thought the old man would make some outrageous or even lewd demands, but it turned out he only wanted spirit stones.

Isn't he a highly skilled cultivator? How come he's short of spirit stones?

Seeing Nan Zhi's stunned expression, Li Ping'an thought to himself, "Oh no, she might be complaining about the price!"

"Actually, if you think it's too much..."

"No, I don't mind having too much!"

Nanzhi quickly interrupted him and said:

"I... I'll give you two hundred spirit stones every time you come, is that alright, senior?"

Sure, sure!

Li Ping'an was overjoyed upon hearing this; it was an unexpected delight.

Each time he cleans up 200 spirit stones, he conservatively estimates that he will need to clean up the cold poison on Nan Zhi's body more than ten times. So wouldn't that add up to about 2,000 spirit stones?

Wow, this is a huge profit!

"Alright, alright, let's not delay, let me clean it up for you now."

Nanzhi was slightly taken aback:

"Senior, is it here?"

"Of course."

However, Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said:

"Clearing this cold toxin from my body requires skin-to-skin contact between us. Are you comfortable with that?"

"Okay, no problem."

Nanzhi didn't hesitate and pointed to the bed next to her, saying:

"Let's clean up on the bed."

Li Pingan nodded and said:

"That's fine, it's convenient in bed."

Silent all night.

When Li Ping'an pushed open Nan Zhi's door, he seemed to have become ten years younger, and even his back straightened up a bit.

After absorbing the cold poison overnight, he felt refreshed and very comfortable.

It has to be said that the cold poison in Nan Zhi's body is truly pure!

I absorbed the spiritual energy all night long, and now I feel that the spiritual energy in my body is so full that it's about to explode.

Now all I want to do is return to my sect as soon as possible, immediately begin meditation and cultivation, and convert all this spiritual energy into my own cultivation level.

"Look, the old man is coming out!"

Someone outside exclaimed in surprise.

Several men immediately stood up, their faces contorted with murderous intent, staring fiercely at Li Ping'an.

This guy spent the entire night with Miss Nanzhi!

Oh my god, the sky has fallen!

"Nanzhi, are you blind or heartless? You don't want such a dashing and handsome young man like me, but you want this old geezer!"

Many people, seeing Li Ping'an emerge looking refreshed, instantly conjured up countless unbearable images in their minds, and knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile slightly as he walked down from the pavilion, humming a little tune.

Before finishing, he said:

"Oh, right, I have something to tell you guys..."

"Miss Nam Zhi is really radiant."
