Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An accepted Ma Kuo’s second contest, a race to forge the Mystic Treasure Immortal Fire Saber, despite having never forged one before. As the two began, Jiang Ping An revealed a hammer technique that stunned the watching Refining Masters.

• Ma Kuo chose Mystic Treasure forging for the second contest and gave Jiang Ping An the Immortal Fire Saber blueprint.
• Jiang Ping An studied the blueprint and sent Bao Zhi to fetch the materials, while Zhou Yuan tried to stop him and was silenced by Jiang Ping An’s intimidating rebuke.
• Bao Zhi returned with the materials, and Ma Kuo began smelting them with three kinds of Strange Fire.
• Jiang Ping An fixed Immortal Iron Ore in midair with runes and began hammering it without a furnace.
• The Refining Masters recognized Jiang Ping An’s technique as the Ma Family’s supreme Forging Technique, Sky Hammer.

Jiang Ping An used a hammer technique resembling the Ma Family's Sky Hammer to refine and fuse materials in a contest against Ma Kuo, who relied on his Strange Fire. Ma Kuo finished forging his sword ahead of Jiang Ping An and declared victory, with only runes left to inscribe.

• Jiang Ping An imitated the movements of the Ma Family's Sky Hammer, and Ma Kuo recognized that the technique was only a surface-level copy.
• Jiang Ping An used the hammer technique, incorporating Thousand Refinements, to purify and fuse materials while Ma Kuo refined them with his Strange Fire.
• Ma Kuo burned an Immortal Iron Essence Stone to ash after becoming anxious, then recovered and completed the refinement stage before Jiang Ping An.
• The contest lasted for days, and watching Refining Masters assumed Ma Kuo would win as he neared the end of fusion.
• Ma Kuo forged a treasured sword with the pressure of the Great Dao, leaving only the runes to inscribe, and told Jiang Ping An that he had lost.

Jiang Ping An used the Ancient Forging Technique to catch up with Ma Kuo and finished forging an Immortal Fire Saber, winning their contest after tricking Ma Kuo into ruining his own runes. Ma Kuo refused to accept the loss and rushed toward the Immortal-Grade Furnace he had wagered.

• Ma Kuo mocked Jiang Ping An for being months behind, but Jiang began forging with the obsolete Ancient Forging Technique and rapidly shaped his saber while adding runes.
• An elderly Refining Master recognized Jiang Ping An's technique and explained that it could greatly shorten the forging time, making Ma Kuo anxious enough to hurry his rune inscription.
• As their treasures neared completion, Jiang Ping An falsely told Ma Kuo that he had finished, causing Ma Kuo to panic and ruin an important rune.
• Jiang Ping An completed the Immortal Fire Saber, stunning the watching Refining Masters and prompting Bao Zhi to celebrate his victory.
• Ma Kuo, unwilling to surrender the wager, rushed toward the Immortal-Grade Furnace in the sky.

Jiang Ping An defeated Ma Kuo in the forging contests and returned to the Hundred Weapons Sect shop, where Xie BenJun shocked everyone by defending him and showering him with gifts. Jiang Ping An accepted the offerings but grew suspicious of his notoriously stingy master's sudden generosity.

• Xie BenJun erased the spiritual imprint on Jiang Ping An's sword and gave him the shop's profits and three Immortal-Grade Magical Treasure Blueprints, leaving Jiang Ping An suspicious.

Jiang Ping An learned that Xie BenJun planned to use him to forge the demonic Netherworld Bow, but chose to stay and profit from the shop while preparing for danger. Years later, Ma Kuo’s grandfather recognized traces of the ancient Yun Family in Jiang Ping An’s forged magical treasures.

• Xie BenJun left Jiang Ping An to manage the shop and gave him a list of materials, which led Yun Yao to deduce that he planned to forge the Netherworld Bow using the life of someone close to him.
• Jiang Ping An decided not to flee, and promoted Bao Zhi to manage the shop while he focused on refining.
• Jiang Ping An spent years forging increasingly advanced magical treasures and studying the Weapon Enhancement Technique.
• Ma Kuo questioned his spy about Jiang Ping An’s identity, then received word from his grandfather that the treasures bore traces of the ancient Yun Family.

Ma Kuo learned that Bu Si’s artifacts resembled Yun Family creations and plotted to seize his inheritance. After watching the shop for two hundred years, Ma Kuo saw Bu Si leave, only for Bu Si to reveal he had known about the surveillance all along.

• Ma Kuo’s grandfather identified traces of Yun Family craftsmanship in Bu Si’s artifacts and suspected Bu Si had inherited the family’s forging techniques.
• Ma Kuo enlisted Xing Jie Wu to capture Bu Si when he left the Hundred Weapons Sect shop, promising him two Earth Immortal-grade Immortal Artifacts.
• Ma Kuo secretly watched the shop for two hundred years while Bu Si remained inside and the business grew into a busy, hundred-story building.
• When Bu Si finally stepped outside, he invited Ma Kuo over for tea and revealed that he knew Ma Kuo had been watching him.
• Ma Kuo realized he had waited in vain and angrily vowed to kill Bu Si.

• Cultivators gathered to watch the two shopkeepers clash, and their battle remained evenly matched.
• Bao Zhi rushed out after hearing Jiang Ping An was fighting Ma Kuo and asked the two hired Immortals to save him if he was in danger.
• The black-bearded Immortal warned that Jiang Ping An’s chances were poor if he relied only on his staff technique, while Bao Zhi insisted they intervene at the first sign of danger.

Jiang Ping An defeated Ma Kuo in their shop wager by wearing him down, then cowed him with a terrifying burst of killing intent.
