Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 213: The Secret of the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range

Afterwards, Xu Ping’an chatted with a few people for a while and then left.

Of course, when he left, Li Qingyi followed along as well.

A moment later, at the Imperial Pavilion, by the tranquil lakeside, Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi stood side by side.

"You went to the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"Mhm, I went and gained some opportunities," replied Li Qingyi.

"Not bad, I can feel a strong power within you, which must be related to your Fire Phoenix bloodline. Additionally, your Innate Sword Embryo has also made a breakthrough, it looks like your strength has improved quite a bit," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"The strength of junior brother isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface, is it?" Li Qingyi began to laugh, looking very pretty as she did.

"You can tell?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"No, but I know that junior brother, even at his worst, wouldn’t be inferior to Lei Hu and Situ Feng. They are far from being junior brother’s match," Li Qingyi stated confidently.

"What faulty reasoning!" Xu Ping’an said with a laugh, unable to help himself.

"It’s like seeing beauty in the eye of the beholder," Li Qingyi countered, rolling her eyes at him.

Xu Ping’an gave a sheepish smile, not expecting Li Qingyi to be so bold.

Yes, she had always been this bold, daring to love and to hate.

"Do you really like me?" Xu Ping’an pondered before asking.

"Could it be that junior brother doesn’t like me?" Li Qingyi did not answer but fluttered her large eyes, looking at Xu Ping’an and asked.

Xu Ping’an was startled, then he laughed.

"Senior sister is so beautiful, it’s very hard not to like you," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Then what are you waiting for?" asked Li Qingyi with a smile.

At her words, Xu Ping’an found himself laughing and crying at the same time.

Li Qingyi was too straightforward, so much so that he felt like a fool.

"Senior sister, don’t rush. Since senior sister has put it that way, you can’t escape me. But now is not the time. Once I’m done with this busy period, I will definitely make you my woman," Xu Ping’an said, wrapping his arms around Li Qingyi and kissing her on the face.

Truly delightful.

Li Qingyi’s cheeks also flushed red.

"Then I’ll be waiting for junior brother," Li Qingyi said with a smile that was somewhat flirtatious.

Xu Ping’an was torn between laughter and tears in his heart.

This girl would definitely be a devastating temptation to all in the future.

Now, she had not yet fully transformed. But once she did, the seductiveness inherent in her would be fatally poisonous to all men.

Of course, Xu Ping’an might be the only person in the world who would see this side of her; to everyone else, Li Qingyi always seemed as pure and aloof as a snow lotus.

"Let’s talk about something serious. Are you confident about entering the top five?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Li Qingyi shook her head; even though her abilities weren’t as simple as they appeared, she did not have enough confidence to guarantee a spot in the top five.

"If you can enter the top five, you will be able to access the Jade Spirit Realm. At that time, I can give you a huge opportunity," Xu Ping’an said.

He knew of a place in the Jade Spirit Realm that was very suitable for Li Qingyi.

If Li Qingyi went there, her strength would surely surge.

"Since you want me to be in the top five, I will make it into the top five," Li Qingyi said with determination.

Xu Ping’an smiled.

That was the charm of Li Qingyi.

Confidence.

A confident woman also had tremendous appeal.

"What else do you need? This is a Superior Grade Spirit Instrument with a Fire Attribute. Although it’s somewhat rubbish, use it for now. After this is over, I will refine an Immortal Artifact for you, a true Immortal Artifact," Xu Ping’an said.

His Soul Power had now reached the ability to multitask, and it wouldn’t be long before he could harness it.

At that time, refining an Immortal Artifact would not be difficult.

And this Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact wasn’t refined by him, but rather, it was found in the storage ring of a mad daoist he had encountered before.

Later, he discovered that this sword was fitting for Li Qingyi, so he decided to keep it for her.

With this sword, her strength could also increase by ten to twenty percent.

"Master Qin Feng, are you him?" Li Qingyi looked at Xu Ping’an and asked.

"Smart!" Xu Ping’an laughed and said.

It wasn’t surprising to Xu Ping’an that Li Qingyi could guess his identity.

After all, in the entire Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, there was only one who could refine an Immortal Artifact.

Now that Xu Ping’an had claimed he could refine one, it naturally led to the association with the recently famous Qin Feng.

"It seems that junior brother is even more powerful than I imagined, a Superior Grade Artifact Refiner, that status is not low even when compared to some Seventh Rank Experts." Li Qingyi expressed with emotion.

Xu Ping’an’s strength surprised her.

If Xu Ping’an wished, he could obtain a quota through the Refining Alliance.

The Refining Alliance did have quotas for entering the Jade Spirit Realm.

"Alright, I’ll accept it, thank you, junior brother." Li Qingyi said, and then she stored the sword in her storage ring.

"By the way, junior brother, if you have time, you could take a trip to the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range, there seems to be something special there," Li Qingyi suddenly mentioned.

"Special? What kind of special?" Xu Ping’an asked with surprise.

"There’s a place there that I can’t enter. I felt as if there was a force preventing me from getting close, but I don’t think that it’s controlled by any person," Li Qingyi recalled as she spoke.

"A force is preventing you from getting close, but you feel it’s not controlled by humans? Then you might have encountered some Power of Laws," Xu Ping’an suggested.

The Power of Laws was something only a Tenth Rank Expert could touch upon.

Ninth Rank Emperor Body Realm, Physical Perfection, the physical body becomes an emperor’s.

And at Tenth Rank, the realm of a Primordial Immortal, this realm focuses on the refinement of Laws.

Laws are the truly powerful forces in this world.

In his past life, the reason for his strength was because he had mastered an extremely powerful Law.

In fact, the Sword Intent, Battle Intent, and others that they comprehended were merely a simple presentation of the Laws.

The ultimate goal was to step into the realm of Laws.

Generally, in the Mortal Realm, it was impossible to utilize the power of Laws; this was also the real reason why Tenth Rank Experts could not exist in the Mortal Realm.

But now Li Qingyi said she felt the Power of Laws in the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range?

This was quite strange.

It indicated that there might be Tenth Rank Experts, or even those beyond Tenth Rank, present there.

"Do not go to that place for the time being; it’s very likely that there are some extremely dangerous beings. Perhaps they don’t mind you, but in their eyes, you might be just an ant, and they wouldn’t care unintentionally stepping on an ant," Xu Ping’an warned sternly.

Li Qingyi was also startled.

An ant?

She seemed to have unwittingly come into contact with some incredible beings.

"Alright, I will not go to that place again," Li Qingyi nodded and said.

Xu Ping’an, however, fell into deep thought.

In his past life, he was curious about where all the powerful Immortal Emperors had gone.

Even when he became an Immortal Emperor in his past life, the divine connections were severed, making it impossible for immortals to enter the Divine Realm.

So, these people were either dead or in hiding.

But what was the purpose of their hiding?

This made Xu Ping’an vaguely feel that there was a great secret in this world, one even he couldn’t fathom in his past life.

"Qingyi, you really are here." Just then, a melodious voice rang out.

Xu Ping’an and Li Qingyi turned around and saw a woman with a lovely face smiling at them.
