Duantianya and others knelt on the ground, but still dared not rise. If they offended the person in front of them, they feared they would suffer.
"This kid is right. I'm not really angry, so why keep kneeling!"
Chen Banxian rolled his eyes, "But you too, why not be the master of Tianhuo Pavilion and follow this kid around? Now it's good! You lost your wife and soldiers, and in the end, you got nothing."
"Old man, how can you talk about me like that!" Lu Fan said with an awkward smile, "As if I'm useless!"
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Chen Banxian said directly, "You have a lot of enemies, and if they follow you, they will probably only bring trouble."
"I think so too. Why don't we let them stay and do some chores here in the Sword Furnace? What do you think?" Lu Fan said directly.
"Since you've spoken, I naturally can't refuse."
Chen Banxian waved his hand, "But we have an agreement. You can't use my name to do things you shouldn't be doing."
"Mainly, we are not that kind of people!"
Lu Fan smiled, "Don't worry, old man."
Chen Banxian didn't say much. He naturally knew what Lu Fan meant. These people followed Lu Fan and would definitely be investigated by the Eight Kings' Mansion. Hiding here with him was the safest.
"By the way, where did you get this treasure, kid? Why don't I know about it?" Chen Banxian spoke again, "That cauldron of yours is not simple."
"Senior has sharp eyes. Nothing escapes your gaze." Lu Fan smiled, "That is indeed not an ordinary cauldron. If Senior likes it, I can give it to you."
"You jest, you jest. That is a supreme treasure, and not something I can covet." Chen Banxian waved his hand, "Perhaps only a monstrous talent like you is worthy of possessing such a divine object."
"How can Senior, who is so powerful, not be worthy?" Lu Fan said solemnly.
In the entire White Dragon Dynasty, the Divine Dragon Hall was second to none. To become the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, one could not be an ordinary person.
"There are some things you don't know. In the vastness of the Spirit Realm, the White Dragon Dynasty is just a drop in the bucket." Chen Banxian shook his head, "Ultimately, the true world is in the hands of you young people. We old folks are already past our prime."
With that, Chen Banxian walked into the Sword Furnace. He still had a good sword to practice today and could not delay.
Seeing Chen Banxian leave, Duantianya said repeatedly, "My lord indeed has many opportunities. To know the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire White Dragon Dynasty who dare to call the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall 'old man'."
"Perhaps we are old acquaintances."
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "From now on, you will stay in this Sword Furnace. Even the people from the Eight Kings' Mansion can't do anything to you."
"My lord, are you planning to leave?" Duantianya asked.
"That's right, I want to go to the Imperial City!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "I heard there are many talented people there, and I want to take a look."
"Why don't I accompany you, my lord? It would be good to have someone to look out for." Duantianya said.
"If you are willing, it would be for the best." Lu Fan nodded slightly.
"May I ask what is the purpose of your trip to the Imperial City, my lord?" Duantianya asked curiously.
"I want to reforge a physical body for someone!"
Lu Fan said seriously, "I wonder if there is such a secret technique in the Imperial City!"
"Reforge a physical body!"
Duantianya was shocked, "This is an ancient forbidden technique. Most people don't know it. Why not ask the senior in the Sword Furnace?"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He didn't know who Xiao Chen Banxian was before, so he didn't dare to be too explicit. Now that they were familiar, it was fine.
Not long after, Lu Fan appeared in the Sword Furnace. Chen Banxian was practicing his sword, his movements flowing like water, and every sword energy carried sword intent.
"Why did you come in, kid?" Chen Banxian asked, "Judging by your appearance, you seem to have something to find me for."
"Senior is knowledgeable. Do you know the method of reforging a physical body?" Lu Fan asked.
"Reforging a physical body?" Chen Banxian narrowed his eyes, "I knew you were not simple, kid. I didn't expect you to hide a soul body!"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Chen Banxian to speak like this, even revealing it in one sentence, making Lu Fan a little nervous.
"You don't need to be too nervous, kid. I'm just curious. I won't harm your friend." Chen Banxian said directly, "However, those who can possess a soul body after death are all high-ranking figures. You kid probably have great fortune to have obtained it."
"Senior is right!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
"Let me tell you this! This ancient forbidden technique is known by very few people. However, you can go to Shop No. 18 in the Imperial City. You might find what you're looking for there." Chen Banxian smiled.
"Imperial City Shop No. 18?"
Lu Fan nodded, showing joy. Since Chen Banxian said so, it was likely true. If Lin Ke and Hong Meng's soul bodies could be restored, they could be reborn, which was Lu Fan's goal all along.
In the years since coming to the Spirit Realm, Lu Fan had been cultivating continuously and had reached the realm of Spirit Emperor. Although he had not reached a higher level, it had been very arduous. Now that he finally had the strength to go to the Imperial City, he would naturally not miss this opportunity.
After bidding farewell to Chen Banxian, Lu Fan and Duantianya set off for the Imperial City.
On the way, Duantianya said, "I heard that Shop No. 18 in the Imperial City is the territory of the Wu clan. This means that the one who knows this forbidden technique should be the Wu clan."
"Wu clan?" Lu Fan was a little surprised. He didn't know much about this race.
"My lord may not know, but the Wu clan is even lower than the Human race. They are often oppressed in the Spirit Realm, so they are not friendly to the Human race." Duantianya said directly, "If we want to ask for their help this time, they may not help."
"Since they dare to be in the Imperial City, I naturally have a way." Lu Fan waved his hand, showing a faint smile.
Seeing Lu Fan so serious, Duantianya didn't say anything more.
Just as they were talking, Lu Fan felt a spiritual consciousness stir within the Taixu Sword, and he showed joy, "Old man, you're finally awake! I thought you would never wake up again."
"Can't you say something nice, kid!" Hong Meng old man glared, but his soul body appeared thin.
After helping Lu Fan last time, he had consumed a lot and became weak.
"Kid, you must be careful next time. If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll be completely annihilated." Hong Meng old man glared.
"Don't worry, I'm going to the Imperial City myself this time, with the purpose of injecting your soul body into a physical body. If it's successful, you'll be free." Lu Fan said gratefully.
He sincerely looked forward to this old man in front of him.
