Duantian Ya and others knelt on the ground, but did not dare to rise. If they offended the person in front of them, they feared they would suffer greatly.
"This kid is right, I'm not really angry, why keep kneeling!"
Chen Banxian rolled his eyes, "But you too, why didn't you stay as the Pavilion Master of Tianhuo Pavilion and followed this kid around blindly? Now look at you! You lost your wife and soldiers, and in the end you gained nothing."
"Old man, how can you talk about me like that!" Lu Fan gave an awkward smile, "As if I'm useless!"
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Chen Banxian said directly, "You kid has a lot of enemies. If they follow you, they'll probably only bring them bad luck."
"I think so too. Why don't we let them stay and do some odd jobs in this Sword Furnace? What do you think?" Lu Fan said directly.
"Since you asked, I naturally can't refuse."
Chen Banxian waved his hand, "But we made it clear beforehand, you can't use my name to do things you shouldn't be doing."
"Mainly, we're not that kind of people!"
Lu Fan smiled, "Don't worry, old man."
Chen Banxian said no more. He naturally understood Lu Fan's meaning. These people, by following Lu Fan, would surely be investigated by the Eight Kings' Mansion. Hiding with him was the safest option.
"By the way, where did you get this treasure, kid? Why didn't I know about it?" Chen Banxian spoke again, "That cauldron of yours is not simple."
"Senior indeed has a discerning eye, nothing escapes your gaze." Lu Fan smiled, "That is indeed not an ordinary cauldron. If senior likes it, I can give it to senior."
"You jest, you jest. That is an ultimate treasure, 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.
Within 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 things you don't know. In the vastness of the Spirit Realm, the White Dragon Dynasty is merely a tip of the iceberg." 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 had a good sword to practice today and couldn't be delayed.
Seeing Chen Banxian leave, Duantian Ya said repeatedly, "My lord indeed has many opportunities, to actually know the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall. Within the entire White Dragon Dynasty, there are probably very few people who dare to call the Hall Master of the Divine Dragon Hall 'old man'."
"Perhaps it's just being familiar."
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "From now on, you will stay in this Sword Furnace. Even the people from the Eight Kings' Mansion will not be able to do anything to you."
"My lord, are you planning to leave?" Duantian Ya asked.
"That's right, I want to go to the Imperial City!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "I've heard that there are many talented and unusual people there. I want to go and see."
"How about I accompany my lord? That way, we can look out for each other." Duantian Ya said.
"If you are willing, then it would be for the best." Lu Fan nodded slightly.
"May I ask my lord the reason for this trip to the Imperial City?" Duantian Ya asked in confusion.
"I want to reforge a physical body for someone!"
Lu Fan said seriously, "I wonder if there is such a secret art in the Imperial City!"
"Reforge a physical body!"
Duantian Ya was greatly shocked, "This is an ancient forbidden technique, something ordinary people wouldn't know. Why not ask the senior of the Sword Furnace?"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He hadn't known who Xiao Chen Banxian was before, so he didn't dare to speak too explicitly. Now that they were familiar, it didn't matter.
Not long after, Lu Fan appeared in the Sword Furnace. Chen Banxian was practicing his sword, his movements flowing like water, each sword energy carrying a 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 for reforging a physical body?" Lu Fan asked.
"Reforge a physical body?" Chen Banxian narrowed his eyes, "I knew you kid was not simple, I didn't expect you to have hidden a soul body!"
Lu Fan was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Chen Banxian to speak like this, and even hit the nail on the head, making Lu Fan somewhat nervous.
"You don't need to be too nervous, kid. I'm just curious, and I won't harm your friend." Chen Banxian said directly, "However, only upper-class figures can possess a soul body after death. You kid probably have great fortune to have obtained it."
"Senior is right!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
"Let me put it this way! 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 slightly, showing his joy. Since Chen Banxian said so, it was likely true. If they could restore the soul bodies of Lin Ke and Hongmeng old man, they could be reborn. This had always been Lu Fan's goal.
In his years in the Spirit Realm, Lu Fan had continuously cultivated and had reached the Spirit Emperor realm. Although he hadn't 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 Duantian Ya headed towards the Imperial City.
On the way, Duantian Ya said, "I heard that Shop No. 18 in the Imperial City is the territory of the Wu clan. This means that whoever knows this forbidden technique should be from the Wu clan."
"Wu clan?" Lu Fan was somewhat surprised, he didn't understand this race.
"My lord might not know, but the Wu clan is more inferior than humans. They are often oppressed in the Spirit Realm, so they are not friendly to humans." Duantian Ya said directly, "This time, if you want to ask for their help, they might not help."
"Since they dare to be in the Imperial City, I naturally have a way." Lu Fan waved his hand, revealing a faint smile.
Seeing Lu Fan's seriousness, Duantian Ya didn't say any more.
Just as they were talking, Lu Fan felt a movement of spiritual consciousness within the Taixu Sword, and his joy grew, "Old man, you've finally awakened! I thought you would never wake up again."
"Can't you say something nice, you kid!" Hongmeng old man glared, but his soul body appeared thin.
After helping Lu Fan last time, he had consumed a lot and had become weak.
"You kid must be cautious next time. If it happens again, old man like me will probably be scattered into souls." Hongmeng old man glared.
"Don't worry, this time I'm going to the Imperial City myself, the purpose is to inject 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.
