One Gaze, Ten Thousand Flaws [Xianxia; Progression Fantasy]

To a master blacksmith, everything has a breaking point. Even the heavens. Tie Zhen was born to hammer metal, not defy the gods. An uncanny gift for seeing hidden flaws made him a skillful craftsman. He never dreamed he could use it to fight. Saving a dying cultivation master from an oppressive Order hurls Zhen into a world of flying swords and ancient bloodlines. As the Order's assassins and young masters come for him, his talent might just give him the edge he needs to survive. Guided by that eccentric master and accompanied by his surprisingly intelligent horse, Zhen must use his gift to forge his own cultivation path and flee the Order that is hunting him. One gaze. Ten thousand flaws. Let's see who breaks first. Book 1 complete No harem c. 2,000-word chapters Updates M-W-F Tournaments, crafting, young masters, secret master, BBEG, OP skills
