Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 703 - 702: Remolding the Physical Body

"I owe you a great debt of gratitude this time, Brother Xu. Without you, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to escape the Corpse Forest," Pan Zhen sincerely expressed his thanks.

"Yes, since Brother Xu is also from the Immortal Hall, if you encounter any problems there in the future, you can come and find us. We’ll definitely help if we can," Tong Jianjun added.

"You’re both too kind. In the future, we are all people of the Immortal Hall. If there is truly a need, I definitely won’t be courteous with you two," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Although Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun were not the kind with pure hearts, on the whole, they harbored no ill intentions toward him.

If he could forge a good relationship, that was for the best.

After all, they were going to the Immortal Hall without any power to rely on, so having one more person was an additional source of help.

Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun both gave Xu Ping’an a respectful bow.

"Since you’re also returning to the Immortal Hall, why don’t you come back with us?" Du Bingxin asked.

"No need, I have to go to another place to meet my two friends. You go ahead," Xu Ping’an declined.

He declined precisely because he did not want to get involved in the struggles of the Immortal Hall for the time being.

Going back with Du Bingxin and the others would inevitably result in being considered as one of their people, which could lead to being dragged into some kind of conflict.

From Du Yuan’s words, the current situation in the Immortal Hall was hardly stable, rife with internal strife.

"Okay then, if you don’t want to come with us, we won’t insist. This is the token of my Day-Month Pavilion. You can use this token to come find me in the Day-Month Pavilion, and I can introduce you to my father," Du Bingxin said.

"Your father?" Xu Ping’an asked in confusion.

"My father is the head of the Day-Month Pavilion. Although he is not an Immortal Emperor Level expert, he still holds a strong position in the Immortal Hall, and he is also not far from breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm," Du Bingxin replied.

Xu Ping’an understood.

"Alright, I’ll accept the token, and I will certainly visit the Head when the time comes," Xu Ping’an answered.

Du Bingxin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again, "With the ten slots you have this time, someone will surely make a move against you. With your strength, you have nothing to fear from those disciples, but if someone of the older generation targets you, come to the Day-Month Pavilion and find me. I’ll have my father take care of it for you."

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised at her words.

Was Du Bingxin actually worried about him?

"Don’t overthink it. You once saved my life, which makes you my life-saving benefactor. Naturally, I can’t just watch others target you," Du Bingxin explained.

"Thank you. Should there truly be a need, I definitely won’t be shy about asking for help," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Du Bingxin nodded, then without further ado, she led Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun away from the place.

Watching the three leave, Xu Ping’an let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, she seems to have taken a bit of a liking to you, otherwise she wouldn’t be so concerned," Yin Xue teased with a mischievous smile.

"Have you noticed that too? It’s only normal for your master, with such charm, to have a few admirers," Xu Ping’an said with a chuckle.

"Pff, Master, you’re so thick-skinned," Ying Xue immediately stuck out her tongue, at a loss for words to Xu Ping’an’s brazenness.

"Let’s go, we still have to travel next. But before we do, I need to find a place to refine some Elixirs to restore a friend’s Physical Body," Xu Ping’an said.

"If Master needs to refine Elixirs, then I know of a place with a Pill Room that can be used for Alchemy. It’s in Songmu City," Yin Xue quickly said.

"Then lead the way," Xu Ping’an said.

Yin Xue immediately led Xu Ping’an toward Songmu City.

…

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had flown by.

For those ten days, Xu Ping’an had been staying at a place called the Titanic Merchant Guild refining Elixirs.

As Yin Xue had said, this Titanic Merchant Guild was a commercial organization she had supported in secret, and it held a place of its own in Songmu City.

Previously, she had managed to avoid the Jade Immortal Sect’s search by hiding within this Titanic Merchant Guild.

Now, beneath the Titanic Merchant Guild, Xu Ping’an had finished the Elixir Refinement.

"Hum!"

A Heaven Repairing Pill lay quietly in the palm of Xu Ping’an’s hand.

And in front of him floated a Soul Body, none other than Lei Shi.

"How about it? I’ve fulfilled my promise to you. This is the Heaven Repairing Pill. Once you absorb the power of this Elixir, you will be able to rebuild your Physical Body," Xu Ping’an said.

"Is this the Heaven Repairing Pill? Fantastic, I’ve waited too long for this day," Lei Shi exclaimed excitedly.

"Alright, absorb it here. This is the Titanic Merchant Guild. I’ve already informed the guild’s people about you. From now on, you’ll stay here as an elder. If you ever wish to return to the Mortal Realm, I’ll find a way to send you back," Xu Ping’an said.

"No need for that. I like it here, and I’m all alone anyway, so I’ll just stay here. Xu Ping’an, thank you very much for this," Lei Shi replied.

"Don’t mention it. You’ve helped me a lot before; it’s something I ought to do," Xu Ping’an said.

After saying that, he handed the Elixir over to Lei Shi.

Lei Shi absorbed the power of the Elixir and began to slowly rebuild his Physical Body.

Xu Ping’an, seeing Lei Shi start the process of body reconstruction, left the underground chamber.

Yin Xue was standing guard outside. Seeing Xu Ping’an emerge, she immediately welcomed him.

"Is this Titanic Merchant Guild reliable?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Absolutely reliable. I control their Soul Origins, and they’re all people I brought up myself. They wouldn’t dare to defy any order I give," Yin Xue replied.

"That’s good to hear. Lei Shi will need about three months to rebuild his body. Arrange for someone to guard this place in the meantime so no one disturbs him. Afterwards, he can become an elder in the Titanic Merchant Guild," Xu Ping’an said.

"Okay, I’ll have it arranged right away," Yin Xue responded.

"Come back to the Immortal Hall with me. If you stay here, people from the Jade Immortal Sect will surely come looking for you again, which could be even more dangerous," Xu Ping’an said.

"Alright, I’ll listen to Master," Yin Xue said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

Three days later.

He set off for the Immortal Hall with Yin Xue, Tang Qingyu, and Song Lingxue in tow.

After half a month’s journey, Xu Ping’an and his companions finally arrived at the location of the Immortal Hall.
