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

Li Ping'an was overjoyed, put the pill into his pocket, and continued to knock.

One floor, two floors, three floors, four floors...

He quickly transformed all five Qi-restoring pills into high-grade second-tier pills and pocketed them all.

He didn't intend to sell all of these pills.

Because this Qi-restoring pill can increase spiritual energy and cultivation level after consumption, it is an indispensable pill for cultivators during their daily cultivation.

After doing all this, Li Ping'an quietly rested, waiting for Nan Zhi to get up.

No one knows how much time passed, but when the sun was high in the sky, a soft moan came from the bed.

Nan Zhi let out a lazy hum, then sat up straight, her snow-white skin exposed to the air.

Li Pingan glanced over and almost had a nosebleed.

Nan Zhi, however, didn't notice any of this. She rubbed her head lazily and said...

"Oh, it still hurts a little."

Her cheeks flushed as she spoke.

Originally, she only wanted to repay Li Ping'an by offering herself to him, but she never expected Li Ping'an to be so terrifying, tormenting her to the point of almost being unable to bear it all night.

The old man is so powerful, no wonder, one cannot judge a cultivator by his appearance.

Only then did she realize that her skin was completely exposed to the air, and she couldn't help but scream.

She quickly covered her chest with the blanket, only then noticing Li Ping'an staring intently at her. Her cheeks immediately turned bright red, almost dripping with moisture.

"Grandpa, you're awake so early!"

However, before she could continue speaking, she froze.

Suddenly, Li Ping'an vanished from the spot.

"Ugh, what's going on?"

Nanzhi rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Why did the old man suddenly disappear from the spot?

Nan Zhi was startled. Forgetting that she was completely naked, she jumped out of bed and went to Li Ping'an's spot. Sure enough, he was gone.

"W-what...what's going on? The old man just left like that?"

Seeing Li Ping'an suddenly disappear, Nan Zhi felt a sense of loss.

But this is too amazing! He just vanished from the spot so easily.

However, the next second, Li Ping'an suddenly reappeared in front of Nan Zhi.

This startled Namgyal so much that she screamed.

"Ah! You, you, you..."

She took several steps back, and only after confirming that it was Li Ping'an did she breathe a sigh of relief.

But still shaken, he said,

"Sir, what's going on? Why did you just disappear and then reappear?"

Li Ping'an smiled slightly and said calmly,

"No way, you must be seeing things. Did you just wake up and your eyes are playing tricks on you?"

"No way!"

Nanzhi said coquettishly,

"I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong, don't deny it."

"hehe."

Li Ping'an chuckled, his eyes unconsciously glancing down at Nan Zhi's lower body.

Nan Zhi realized that she was completely naked. She was immediately filled with shame and anger. She screamed and rushed back to the bed to get dressed. Her face was flushed as she came out.

Li Ping'an had a broad smile on his face at this moment; he was very satisfied.

Because the instant Nan Zhi called his name, he immediately unleashed the "Great Dream Summoning Technique".

The effect was remarkable; Nan Zhi indeed did not see him, and he disappeared in front of her.

It seems that the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" is indeed as miraculous as described in the book.

That way, when I encounter a powerful enemy again, I'll have a sure way to save my life.

If I immediately use the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" to control the other party's mind and prevent them from seeing me, wouldn't that be perfect?

It can not only defend, but also attack.

However, this "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique" has one small drawback...

Li Pingan took a deep breath and rubbed his head.

That is extremely mentally taxing!

He had only used it for a dozen seconds when he felt that most of his mental energy had been used up, and now it was very difficult for him to use it again.

No, I need to quickly improve my mental strength.

Otherwise, it simply wouldn't be able to support the operation and consumption of the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique".

Li Ping'an murmured, and Nan Zhi wanted to ask something more.

Li Pingan said in a serious tone,

"Alright, Nanzhi, it's about time. I should return to my sect. Next time..."

He paused slightly at this point, then continued,

"I will come again to help you clear the cold toxins from your body next time."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi's cheeks flushed red, and she nestled in Li Ping'an's arms, saying...

"Grandpa, Nanzhi is here waiting for you at all times, waiting for you to help me absorb the cold poison."

When he spoke the last sentence, his voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Li Ping'an felt his heart melting, and he couldn't help but press Nan Zhi down on the bed and punish her severely.

However, he took a deep breath and forced himself to hold it in.

Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

He must improve his strength as soon as possible and not be tempted by beautiful women.

After saying goodbye to Nanzhi, Li Ping'an walked down the street, pondering his next move.

I currently have five Qi-restoring pills on me. I can go to the market to inquire about their prices and also visit a large pharmacy to see if they have any pills that can enhance my mental strength.

He went straight to a medicine shop. The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Ping'an walk in, then his eyes lit up and he said...

"Oh, sir, it's you!"

He remembered that Li Ping'an had sold two Body Tempering Pills here last time.

"Yes, it's me."

Li Ping'an answered in a muffled voice, tossing a Qi-restoring pill directly onto the counter.

"Just buy the Qi-restoring pills from me at the market price."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the Qi-restoring pill; he exclaimed in shock.

"This is a second-tier pill! Sir, where did you get this?"

"Don't worry about all that, just tell me if you want it or not?"

Li Pingan said impatiently.

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want it! According to market prices, a Qi-restoring pill is worth five hundred spirit stones. Yours is of superior quality, how about I give you six hundred spirit stones?"

Li Ping'an tapped the counter with his fingernail, feigning a deep and serious demeanor, and looked the shopkeeper up and down.

The shopkeeper felt uneasy under her gaze, gritted his teeth, and said...

"Alright then, since you're a regular customer, I'll give you another twenty spirit stones. That's the limit."

"Alright."

Li Pingan finally relented and said,

"Then I'll sell it to you for six hundred and twenty spirit stones."

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, took the pill, and quickly found spirit stones for Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an took the spirit stone and weighed it in his hand; it was quite heavy. Luckily, he had a storage bag, otherwise it would have been really difficult to carry.

Based on his observation of the shopkeeper, he believed that the value of the pill should be around that amount, and he wouldn't be ripped off too badly.

"By the way, do you have any pills here that can enhance mental strength?"

Li Ping asked in a seemingly casual manner.

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, then said...

"A pill to enhance mental strength? Sir, this pill is very rare. The herbs for this kind of pill are extremely difficult to grow, and ordinary people cannot grow them."

"Just tell me, do you have it or not?"
