The Iron Forger's Ascent to Taoist Patriarch

After traversing into a new realm, Li Mu-Huo, a skilled blacksmith, discovered that every time he forged iron, he would obtain a concentrated essence. This essence could be transformed into spiritual energy, tempering his physique and refining his martial arts techniques. Seizing the opportunity, Li Mu-Huo utilized his connections to become a menial worker in the Immortal Sect's refining chamber. There, he dedicated himself to forging iron, quietly cultivating his spiritual energy with the aid of the essence. As the outside world witnessed the emergence of mystical realms and the resurgence of ancient legacies, numerous cultivators flocked to explore these secrets. Meanwhile, Li Mu-Huo remained unfazed, believing that his iron-forging cultivation was a safer and more reliable path. As time passed, he steadily refined his craft, traversing the pinnacle of the immortal path and ultimately achieving the esteemed status of Taoist Patriarch. However, just as he reached the apex of his journey, a transfer notice arrived, appointing him as the head of the sect's mining operations, tasked with overseeing the excavation of the sect's mineral resources. The notice sparked a mixture of confusion and intrigue, prompting Li Mu-Huo to seek an audience with the young sect leader to discuss this unexpected turn of events.
