Qin Tiexin didn't say much to Sun Daniu, turned around and bowed his hands to everyone, and finally faced the village chief and said:

"Everyone, I'm not a fairy."

The village chief was startled, his expression changed, and he waved his hand quickly. "The immortal has broken the old man!"

"However," Qin Tiexin changed the topic, "I was saved by you, and you provided me with shelter and food. It is a great kindness from you. Although I am not an immortal, I have some ability. If you have any needs, please ask me. I will help wherever I can."

The village chief was stunned.

He looked to his left and right, and then behind him. Several villagers looked at each other, all looking at the village chief.

The village chief rubbed his hands and boldly took half a step forward.

"To be honest with you, Immortal... Actually, I really want to ask Immortal for help with something. Our village is too far away from the town, and we have to climb a whole mountain in the middle."

He raised his hand and pointed to the dark mountain in front of the village.

"The road down the mountain was made by people. It is narrow and muddy. In some places, one has to walk sideways. When I go to the town to sell medicinal materials, I have to go back and forth for at least five days."

The village chief swallowed and continued, "That's nothing. There are wolves and falling rocks on this road. The year before last, a hunter went out to buy goods, and his leg was broken by a falling rock. He carried it back and lay there for half a year. Last year, some boys from the next village encountered a wolf and the whole calf was bitten off. If his companions hadn't helped, he might have died."

A man next to him answered in a low voice, "No one dares to walk this road without a companion."

"That's right." The village chief answered quickly, "Over time, Welcome Immortals Village has had little contact with the outside world. The medicinal materials in the village can only be dried and sold, and the value of some medicinal materials has plummeted. Moreover, if someone in the village is sick or disaster, they have to wait five days for medicine."

"If the immortal has the ability... can you help make this road easier to walk?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly added, "If it's inconvenient, we won't force it. Everything will be based on the wishes of our benefactor."

Seeing the hope in the villagers' eyes, Qin Tiexin nodded.

"Lead the way, I'll go take a look first."

The village chief led the way, Qin Tiexin followed behind, Sun Aji carried a backpack, and Xiao Bu followed at the end.

The group of people walked to the entrance of the village and Qin Tiexin looked along the road.

Sure enough, as the village chief said, the road starts from the village entrance and winds into the forest at the foot of the mountain.

After descending to the bottom of the mountain, you still have to go through the valley and climb to the opposite mountain; the road crosses halfway up the opposite mountain, and then goes around a long way to connect to the path leading to the town.

He watched for a few breaths.

"Is this the way?"

"This is the road." The village chief sighed, "Several nearby villages all take this road."

Qin Tiexin stood there and looked around.

There is a deep ditch in the valley between the two mountains. The bottom of the ditch is a rocky beach, making it extremely difficult to walk.

The mountainside of the opposite mountain is less than 200 feet away from here in a straight line, but if you follow the road at the bottom of the mountain to go around, it will take four or five days.

He retracted his gaze, Divine Sense swept around, suddenly paused for a moment in a certain direction, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"I have a better way."

Before he finished speaking, he kicked off his feet and was already flying into the air.

The villagers groaned and knelt down.

Qin Tiexin didn't look back, flew dozens of feet low in the sky, and landed on a black-red mountain nearby.

The mountain is not high, and the exposed Shitou is red and black.

Qin Tiexin I recognized it at first glance as a piece of iron ore, with pieces exposed.

He knelt down, picked up a piece, and weighed it in his hands.

The minerals are average. Although there are many impurities, the iron content is not low, which is enough for use.

He stood up and walked to a boulder that was taller than him.

Make a fist with your right hand.

With one punch, the boulder shattered into powder.

The villagers raised their necks at the entrance of the village and saw a "bang" sound and dust rising from the black mountain in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of pale pink Flame shot out from the palm of Qin Tiexin, covering the pile of stone powder.

It is Red Luan Heart Flame of Qin Tiexin.

The stone powder continues to burn in Flame. Qin Tiexin controls the temperature of Flame, burns out impurities, and black smoke rises into the air.

The remaining dark red molten iron remained at the bottom of the fire and condensed into iron ingots the size of a human head.

Qin Tiexin doesn't stop.

After smelting, he immediately found the next boulder and smashed it with one punch.

Pink Flame follows.

After burning and condensation, several more iron ingots fell down and accumulated at the feet of Qin Tiexin.

Five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars.

More than a dozen iron ingots were piled at his feet, showing a pure bright white color that was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.

He no longer has such ordinary materials in his storage ring.

However, it is easy to do this now, and the consumption is extremely low. The Qi and Blood consumed to smelt this small amount of mortal iron is not worth the Qi and Blood Pill he swallowed.

Seeing that there were almost enough iron ingots under his feet, Qin Tiexin took out a fist-sized object from the storage ring.

Dark gold color, with silky texture on the surface, making it warm and moist to the touch.

Spirit material Condensed Pattern Gold.

This is a commonly used auxiliary material for weapon refining.

Adding it to metal can make it both hard and flexible, and can also isolate water vapor and make it stainless for many years. It is often used as an auxiliary material for forging weapons.

If added to iron, the effect can be doubled.

Qin Tiexin used his spiritual power to lift a dozen iron ingots at his feet into the air.

He raised his hands, and Flame surged out from his palms, covering all the iron ingots.

The iron ingot slowly melted in the fire, turning into a ball of dark red molten iron.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, he threw Condensed Pattern Gold in. The golden lines spread in the molten iron, turning round and round, dyeing the molten iron golden red.

After Condensed Pattern Gold is completely and evenly dispersed in the molten iron, add Divine Sense.

I saw an iron rope as thick as a thumb pulled out from the huge ball of golden-red molten iron.

The iron rope was being pulled while cooling, and slowly coiled around the feet of Qin Tiexin, turning from golden red to dark red, and then from dark red to green and black.

After a while, the entire mass of molten iron was pulled out, and a long iron rope was coiled under his feet, like a sleeping black python.

Qin Tiexin Bend down and pick up the iron rope.

Weighed it.

It's almost 30,000 kilograms, which is enough.

He picked up the iron rope and flew back to the village entrance.

At the entrance of Welcome Immortals Village, the villagers knelt on the ground, no one dared to raise their head.

Several old ladies clasped their hands together and muttered something. The children were held tightly by the adults and did not even dare to cry.

Qin Tiexin had just finished saying that he was not a fairy, and then he jumped into the air and showed the same hand again. In the eyes of the villagers, it was simply a miracle.

Qin Tiexin landed at the entrance of the village, holding the iron rope in his hand and frowning slightly.

"Everyone get up."

No one moved.

"Get up."

The village chief was the first to raise his head, his legs still shaking.

He stood up and quickly went to help the old man next to him.

Qin Tiexin ignored them and looked at the distance between the two mountains. It was probably less than two hundred feet.

He shook off the iron rope.

With his palm covered with spiritual power, he slashed, and the coiled iron rope was divided into four sections, each section was more than 200 feet long, and spread out in parallel. He left the rest at the entrance of the village.

Then, he picked up one and flew forward.

The wind howled in his ears, and he swept to the opposite mountainside.

Having found the right spot, he grabbed one end of an iron rope with one hand and inserted it into the rock wall.

The rocks cracked.

The iron rope sank three feet deep.

Qin Tiexin Use Red Luan Heart Flame to press the joint, and golden red molten iron seeps out from the gap, welding the iron cable and the mountain into one body.

He let go and the iron rope didn't move at all.

After finishing it, he looked at the distance and fixed all four iron ropes in the rocks.

He held the iron rope and flew back to Welcome Immortals Village.

The other ends of the four iron cables were embedded into the mountain outside the village entrance.

Molten iron was poured into the cracks in the stone. After cooling, four iron ropes seemed to grow out of Shitou.

Four iron cables, two high and two low, stretched from the village entrance to the opposite mountainside. The wind passed through the iron cables, making a low buzz.

The villagers raised their heads and opened their mouths.

Qin Tiexin landed on the big bluestone at the entrance of the village and clapped his hands.

"You don't have to climb mountains anymore."

He pointed to the four iron ropes.

"From now on, I will cut some wooden boards regularly and lay them on the iron ropes, which can be walked by people or cattle. Walk directly to the mountainside on the opposite side and then follow the road down the mountain. It is much faster than climbing over the mountain."

He paused.

"You can handle the wooden planks yourself."

He didn't pave it for them. He built the bridge frame and left the rest of the work to them.

The village chief was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He knelt down with a "plop", and the villagers behind him knelt down again.

"Thank you, immortal! Thank you, immortal!"

The sounds of kowtows kept coming and going.

Qin Tiexin waved his hand and said no more.

He stood on the big bluestone and glanced at the four iron cables spanning the two mountains.

Enough.

He turned around and looked behind the crowd.

Sun Aji was carrying a backpack and was looking up at the four iron ropes. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, unable to close for a long time.

Is this the power of immortals??
