I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

"Wangxian, what a fine name! My nephew truly has great ambition."

The elders who had been waiting outside the cave also rushed in, their clothes disheveled. Looking at the name on the sword, they offered compliments.

The heads of the various sects also noticed the words "Looking Towards Immortality" engraved on the divine weapon, their expressions complex.

The pursuit of immortality has no good end; even the Longevity Hall, which has always claimed to pursue immortality, has now degenerated into a demonic sect.

"Greetings, Sect Leader, Master, and all fellow disciples!"

Li Qingan put away the divine weapon in his hand and bowed to them.

"No need for formalities. I never imagined you could forge the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon on your own." Dao Xuan didn't dwell on it.

"It's just luck!"

"Luck. If luck could work, our Qingyun Sect, a thousand-year-old sect, wouldn't have been unable to forge a divine weapon for hundreds of years in the hands of these elders."

Dao Xuan seemed to be aware of Li Qing'an's previous unpleasantness and made sarcastic remarks about some of the elders.

Everyone inside the cave was ashamed!

The elder who came in from outside the cave hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

But they had nothing to say to Li Qing'an, who had just forged the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon. After guarding outside the cave for almost a month, they were filled with regret.

Moreover, after Li Qing'an successfully refined it, regret filled his mind!

Many elders also swallowed their pride and apologized to Li Qing'an.

"Junior brother, I was wrong. Being less skilled is being less skilled. I've started down the wrong path and stopped striving for improvement..."

Li Qingan looked at the elders bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, but didn't say anything more.

While it's possible to guess that some of them genuinely acknowledge their mistakes, there are also those who are unwilling to repent and are using this opportunity to watch Li Qing'an 'gazing at the immortals'.

But Li Qing'an didn't care. He figured that with their previous mindset, they definitely wouldn't be able to learn his weapon-refining techniques.

Not to mention the desire to forge a divine weapon from the heavens.

Moreover, Dao Xuan's words just now might have been a way to give everyone a way out, allowing the elders to apologize and the matter to be over.

After all, as the sect leader, he needs to maintain the outward harmony within the sect.

Another point is that, as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and Li Qing'an's two main materials, Nine Heavens Meteorite and Nine Nether Cold Iron, were both provided by Dao Xuan.

This divine weapon was only achieved with the great help of Dao Xuan.

Li Qing'an naturally wouldn't object to Dao Xuan's opinion.

At this moment, Tian Buyi, who was watching from the side, felt indignant on his own behalf.

"You lot, you used to rely on your age to slander the disciples of my Great Bamboo Peak, and now you think an apology is enough to end this?"

Tian Buyi stood beside Li Qing'an, his eyes narrowed, looking down at the many elders with an arrogant air, intending to demand an explanation for his disciple.

"Chief Tian, ​​we were indeed in the wrong. We did discuss outside the cave to provide some supplementary information to our junior disciple Li Qing'an."

An elder stepped out from the crowd, looking apologetic.

Seeing this, Dao Xuan remained silent, intending to let Dazhu Peak resolve the matter themselves, as long as it didn't escalate.

"To make up for our broken promise, we will build weapons for Dazhu Peak for free from now on. You don't need to provide the materials; we will provide whatever we have."

"Hmph," Tian Buyi flicked his sleeve, exposing their thoughts:

"You have a good idea. My disciple can already forge divine weapons. Do I need your help? You just want to take this opportunity to find out my disciple's weapon-forging techniques."

Even Shuiyue and Su Ru frowned upon hearing this, feeling that this elder was utterly shameless!

At this moment, the elder spoke again: "In that case, we will also pass on the weapon-refining techniques we have inherited to Master Li Qing'an. Please forgive our slip of the tongue."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. These old men usually valued their heritage highly, but now they were willing to give it up, which showed their sincerity.

At this point, Li Qingan, who had remained silent until now, decided to stop while he was ahead, since what they had said hadn't actually affected him.

And considering Dao Xuan's influence, he couldn't be bothered to argue about it any further!

Anyway, I've already gotten my share of the benefits.

"Since this elder is so sincere, then I will accept this kindness."

The elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Qing'an had agreed.

"It's a pity we didn't witness the entire process of forging the divine weapon. It's true what they say, old age makes it hard to even think things through." Seeing Li Qing'an's youthful appearance, the elder felt a pang of regret. "We can only hope that in our lifetime, this disciple will be willing to teach them the forging techniques."

"Alright, now that it's all over, everyone can go home."

After the group had made their point clear, Dao Xuan led the way and left the Earthly Fiery Vein Cave.

Before long, almost everyone had left.

Only Dazhufeng, Xiaozhufeng, and Zeng Shushu remained.

Tian Buyi looked at Li Qingan with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you've really made me proud."

Li Qingan didn't pay attention to Tian Buyi's words, because he had said this countless times.

He looked at Lu Xueqi behind Shuiyue and smiled.

That's considered sending a greeting!

Upon seeing this, Lu Xueqi's gaze remained calm, but a faint blush appeared around her ears.

However, upon seeing this, Shuiyue's face turned ashen, and she looked at Li Qing'an with extremely cold eyes.

However, she couldn't say anything, since the two of them were still related as siblings.

Even the most observant Su Ru noticed this scene and quickly stepped in front of Li Qing'an, taking Shui Yue's hand: "Senior sister, it's been a long time. Let's go outside and talk."

Helpless, Shuiyue followed Su Ru and walked out of the cave.

“Let’s go, it’s not convenient to talk here, let’s go outside first,” Tian Buyi said, leading the others to follow.

Li Qingan followed behind, with Lu Xueqi beside him.

"Not bad, it seems you have also mastered the Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique, and are almost ready to learn the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique."

"Hmm," Lu Xueqi hummed softly, then remembered what he had said: "You've finished crafting your magic weapon, are you about to go down the mountain?"

Li Qing'an nodded, secretly rejoicing in his prediction that he would descend the mountain in the next few days. With a divine weapon in hand, his strength was comparable to that of the Upper Qing First Level, and he was also protected by an array. If he didn't have the courage to descend the mountain, then he would have truly wasted his stats.

Moreover, his purpose in coming down the mountain was to find other ley lines to fill the gaps in his array runes, so there's a high probability there won't be any problems.

"Here you go, Xiao Luo, and remember your promise to me!"

Lu Xueqi suppressed her worries and handed Xiao Luo, whose condition had stabilized and whose runes had ceased to glow, to Li Qing'an.

"Don't worry, there's no danger! I know the agreement, I'll be back for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament!"

Sensing the worry in Lu Xueqi's words, Li Qingan took Xiao Luo over and said something.

“You always said the same thing before!” Li Qingan’s words only made Lu Xueqi more worried. She remembered what Li Qingan had said before they went up the mountain, and how he ended up getting beaten black and blue.

"When I was younger and hadn't cultivated immortality, even if I was stronger, I definitely couldn't beat those adult men!"

Li Qingan also remembered how he had been bullied by an adult in the past. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided to go down the mountain to find this person and take revenge.

Damn it, this is so unethical! An adult bullying a 13-year-old boy.

Seeing Lu Xueqi's bright eyes filled with worry, Li Qingan changed the subject and took out the 'Looking at the Immortal' and placed it in Lu Xueqi's hand.

"Alright, don't worry. I'm your brother. Let me show you the divine weapon I forged."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt as if she had returned to the day they first met. Li Qingan was 11 years old when he patted his chest and said in front of her, "I'll be your brother from now on."

Lu Xueqi's eyes flickered with memories, and she tightly gripped the 'Looking-for-Immortal' in her hand.

After a moment's thought, Lu Xueqi looked at the words "Looking to Immortality" on the divine weapon, her expression calm, as if she already knew it and had made up her mind. Then she continued...

"After you come down the mountain, remember to send me a message when you have time!"

“Okay!” Li Qingan replied.

Chapter 32 Descending the Mountain with the Tranquility Mantra

Dazhufeng, Shoujing Hall

"Junior brother, let me see your divine weapons!"

Song Daren and the others gathered around, looking at the magic weapon in Li Qing'an's hand, while Xiao Luo placed it on the armrest to the side.

"Buzz."

Li Qing'an handed over the sword, letting them look at it, but 'Wang Xian' was somewhat unwilling and emitted bursts of sword cries.

"Wow, this sword even has a spirit!"

"Divine weapons all possess spirits."

Each of them took a look at it and began to discuss it.

Even Zhang Xiaofan wanted to experience the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, but before Zhang Xiaofan could even get his hand close, 'Wangxian' seemed to sense something, unleashed a burst of sword intent, and stabbed towards Zhang Xiaofan.

"Xiao Fan!?"

The people inside the hall gasped in shock at this dramatic turn of events.

Li Qing'an looked closely, frowned, and reached out to call it back.

Even in Li Qing'an's hands, the 'Looking at the Immortal' sword still emitted bursts of sword cries.

"Brother, me?"

Still shaken, Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly at Li Qingan.

"Qing'an, how could this be?" The crowd, who had just exclaimed in surprise, looked at Li Qing'an with confusion.

"Xiao Fan, this has nothing to do with you; this is Wang Xian's problem."

Li Qingan suppressed his urge to 'see the immortals' and asked Zhang Xiaofan.

Coming to his senses, Zhang Xiaofan felt the unusual movement of the bead in his arms. A sudden, inexplicable killing intent surged within him. "Fake, fake, this person wants to kill you, wants to kill you..."

Looking at Zhang Xiaofan's bloodshot eyes, Li Qingan felt helpless. "It seems that Wangxian stimulated the Bloodthirsty Bead, which caused Xiaofan to suffer this undeserved disaster."

Li Qingan stepped forward, blocking the others' view of Zhang Xiaofan, and used the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to awaken Zhang Xiaofan.
