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

He carefully examined the manual again, and after confirming that it was not some kind of demonic or evil technique, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to gradually cultivate according to the cultivation method of the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique".

Every line of the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" is extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Li Ping'an has to study it for a long time each time before he can understand its meaning.

Li Ping'an cultivated until midnight before he finally managed to turn a page of cultivation material.

However, the effect was also very significant; he could clearly feel his mental strength increasing.

As dawn broke, Li Ping'an's mental strength increased slightly.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique" and gradually grasped how to use mental power to manipulate the gaze of others.

However, there is still a long way to go before one can truly unleash its full potential.

Never mind, this technique is clearly no ordinary thing, we can't rush it.

As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a great river is formed from countless small streams.

Anyway, I have plenty of time to cultivate!

Li Ping'an murmured to himself, his temperament calm and composed, not in a hurry to achieve quick results.

He put away the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique," slowly stood up, and felt refreshed despite having cultivated all night.

Moreover, his own "Taiyi Qi-Guiding Technique" seems to have improved somewhat.

It seems that the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" and the "Taiyi Qi Guiding Technique" complement each other. When I am cultivating the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique", I can also provide progress for the cultivation of the "Taiyi Qi Guiding Technique".

Very good, excellent!

Li Ping'an was very excited and went outside to start his day's work.

By the afternoon, the work on dismantling the hall was basically completed.

Li Ping'an examined the not-so-large amount of waste gas in his body and was somewhat disappointed.

As his strength increased, the basic waste materials in the hall could no longer satisfy him. A day's absorption only accumulated a little bit.

Recently, Qingyue and Hongling haven't come to me for alchemy, so it seems it's time to go down the mountain.

Li Pingan murmured, recalling the gentle and tender Nanzhi from Lichun Garden.

The cold poison in her body is extremely concentrated, providing her with a lot of nourishment.

Currently, the abandoned hall is no longer managed, making management relatively relaxed.

Li Ping'an didn't ask anyone for leave; he simply greeted Long Yun and went straight down the mountain.

Lichun Garden.

Nanzhi sat in her boudoir, staring blankly at a folding fan.

A maidservant who was serving him poured him a cup of tea.

"Miss, what's wrong with you lately? You always seem so absent-minded?"

Nanzhi snapped out of her daze, then chuckled and said...

"No, I was just thinking about something, lost in thought."

"Miss."

The maidservant had a sly look on her face.

"You don't have someone you like, do you?"

"Nonsense!"

Nanzhi blushed.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"hehe."

Seeing her reaction, the maid immediately became excited and said, "

"Miss, you can tell from your expression that you have someone you like; you can't hide it from me. Tell me quickly, which gentleman is he? Is he handsome?"

Hearing the maid's question, Nanzhi was at a loss.

The maid was right; she was indeed thinking of someone.

But to call it love seems a bit far-fetched, yet she can't help but think about this person. She doesn't understand what kind of feeling this is.

And that person was naturally Li Ping'an.

Yes, that's right.

That guy, Li Ping'an, is old enough to be his great-grandfather.

He's been thinking about that man a lot these past few days.

Do not,

It must be that old man.

Thinking of his aged face, his kind and gentle words, and his warm, rough hands, I don't know why, but they always linger in my mind and form a strange emotion in my heart.

But he's an old man in his seventies or eighties, how could I possibly like such an old man?

Nan Zhi's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment. She was both upset that she would think about an old man in his seventies or eighties every day, and at the same time, she was immersed in the sweet feelings of missing Li Ping'an.

"Oh dear, miss, why are you keeping this from me? Tell me quickly, and I'll give you some advice."

Seeing that Nanzhi remained silent, the maidservant chimed in from the side.

Nanzhi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. She thought that if she told others about this, they would probably find it hard to understand.

Let's just not say it!

She then remembered that Li Ping'an had said he would come to cleanse her of the cold poison every now and then, so why hadn't he come yet after so long?

Was he just saying that casually last time and not coming back?

Meanwhile, Li Ping'an, who was descending the mountain, traveled at breakneck speed and arrived directly at Lichun Garden.

"Oh, grandpa, you're here again!"

The madam at the door, with her exceptional eyesight and memory, instantly spotted the handsome, hunched-over Li Ping'an among the crowd.

He rushed over as if he had seen his own father. Holding a fragrant fan, he fanned Li Ping'an, creating a gentle breeze that made Li Ping'an sneeze.

"Sir, you're here again! What's wrong? Have you caught a cold? You need to take care of yourself lately. Here, let one of the ladies from Lichun Garden warm you up."

The madam greeted him warmly, but she knew that this customer had spent quite a bit of money here last time, nearly a hundred spirit stones, making him a big spender.

Sure enough, older men who are also wealthy are the most popular.

Li Ping'an did not refuse and followed the madam into Lichun Garden.

A group of female cultivators also brightened up and immediately came forward in a flurry of beautiful women.

"Grandpa, you've arrived!"

"Come on, sir, let me feed you some wine."

"Grandpa, have a piece of meat."

But Li Ping'an ignored them. His purpose in coming here was very clear: to find Nan Zhi.

"I'm here to see Nanzhi."

Li Ping'an stated his purpose directly.

"Oh, you're actually looking for Nanzhi?"

The madam was also slightly taken aback.

I heard that the only person Nanzhi ever let stay overnight was Li Ping'an. I wonder what kind of charm Li Ping'an has that made Nanzhi willing to stay overnight for her. It's truly a rare occurrence.

"Yes, that's possible. Nanzhi happens to be in his room today, and I can take you to see him."

"Alright, then lead the way."

Li Ping'an couldn't wait to see Nan Zhi.

But the madam stopped them.

"Oh, sir, I can let you see him, but this..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but rub her hands together.

Li Ping'an was slightly taken aback, not expecting there to be so many unspoken rules involved in wanting to see Nan Zhi.

However, he wasn't a stingy person. Now that his pockets were full, he spoke with more confidence, and immediately took out five spirit stones and tossed them to the madam, saying...

"Then this is yours. Take me to see Namzhi now."

"Okay!"

The madam's eyes lit up when she saw the five spirit stones.

Five spirit stones! Five spirit stones!

Unlike those immortals who fly around, five spirit stones are probably just a drop in the ocean to them, insignificant.

However, for cultivators at the bottom level like them, five spirit stones are equivalent to one or two months' or even half a year's income.

This old man is indeed very wealthy!

Suddenly, the madam became even more friendly and enthusiastic, leading Li Ping'an upstairs and calling out loudly,

"Namzhi, come out and greet the guests!"
