“You all know me, I really was just repaying a debt of gratitude for the teachings I received from the second Sect Hierarch of the Western Sect!”

“You understand me, ever since the ancient times when the Western Sect obstructed the Human Race’s utmost efforts, I have been irreconcilably opposed to them!”

The old man Tianli almost rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Everyone was practicing cultivation in the same hall; who didn’t know the secrets of the others?

When the Emperor’s slap was about to fall, you know to beg for mercy; where were you earlier?

“I’ll go take a look,” said the old man Tianli, “we can’t let Ping’an’s impression of the Eastern Alliance get any worse.”

“You should go!”

“You should go!”

“It’s all up to you now, Tianli!”

The old man Tianli flicked his sleeve and turned into a rainbow light as he hurriedly left.

This time, he had figured it out; he had to do what needed to be done and not hold back for the sake of ‘the greater good.’

The old man Tianli swiftly entered the secret area where weapons were stored, and then used a teleportation technique to arrive above the large city where Li Ping’an and his company were located.

He looked down carefully, searching for a while, until he found the Wang family residence.

As the old man Tianli focused his eyes, he happened to see Li Ping’an and others walking from the Wang family’s backyard toward a middle-aged scholar who was drunk.

“Why is the courtyard wall torn down?”

The old man murmured to himself, frowning as he observed secretly.

…

The Wang family’s backyard looked somewhat neglected.

Fortunately, there were still a few servants in the home, so everything was fairly tidy.

Ye Zisang’s good friend Wang Shan was lying in the backyard pavilion, with several jars of wine next to him.

His loose hemp robe was stained with the strong smell of alcohol.

Wang Shan was of average height, somewhat skinny, and had a handsome and well-proportioned face.

He appeared quite dispirited, and all his energy and spirit were listless.

Li Ping’an carefully sensed the man’s Dao Charm and quickly detected the problem.

The Dao Charm was ‘irregular,’ the Dao Foundation ‘incomplete.’

This person seemed to have cracks in his Dao Heart as well, a hidden injury that was even harder to heal than damage to the Dao Foundation.

His trusted aide, Feng Tingzhu, whispered:

“My lord, I have heard about this man from others.

“His father died loyally serving the Human Race.

He practiced cultivation with great effort, breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, making numerous contributions, and was appointed as a fifth-rank patrol envoy.

“His character is straightforward, and he doesn’t tolerate any wrongdoings.

He has offended many powerful people, but he also had the support of several Vice Alliance Hierarchs behind him…

Even Vice Alliance Hierarch Tianli has praised him many times.

“After his injury, his temperament became peculiar, and later, due to a conflict with someone, he engaged in physical fights within the Eastern Alliance.

As a result of having offended many people before, he was dismissed from his position.

“The Eastern Alliance still took care of him, requesting numerous priests to treat him, but his Dao injury was difficult to heal, and he became increasingly depressed.”

Li Ping’an looked at Feng Tingzhu, nodding slightly to express his thanks.

How does a military scribe know so much?

Tsk, having a woman in his own guard who might be from the Wind Whisper Guard was truly irritating.

Ye Zisang called out first, “Brother Wang, Brother Wang?

Brother Li has come!

If you’re sober, get up and pay respects.

Brother Li has a miraculous method that might help you heal your old wounds!”

Inside the pavilion, the middle-aged scholar flicked his sleeve, turned over, and lay on his side, turning his back to them.

He yawned and said, “I know my own injuries…

Ye Zisang, you little devil, don’t come bothering me…”

“This is different from the doctors you’ve seen before!”

Ye Zisang laughed:

“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago about Brother Li, who caused rivers of blood in the Eastern Alliance and extinguished the Wa Palace Sect within ten days?

“He’s also doing me a favor by coming here personally to examine you!”

The middle-aged scholar suddenly opened his eyes, then immediately closed them again.

He snorted, “What Brother Li, Brother Li?

I’ve never heard of him.

My injury is incurable.

Every day I live carefree at home, isn’t it delightful?

No need to waste effort on me.”

Suddenly, Li Ping’an said, “Brother Ye, how about I apply the technique on you first, so this Brother Wang can see whether it’s useful or not?”

Ye Zisang immediately nodded, “Let’s do it right here, and let Brother Wang broaden his horizons!”

Li Ping’an said, “Xing He and Xinghan, go guard the backyard.

No one is allowed near this place.

Tingzhu, create a barrier.

I cannot show this secret technique to just anyone.”

“Yes!”

The four trusted aides saluted and took their orders, then each busied themselves.

Soon, the pavilion was protected by several layers of immortal power barriers.

Ye Zisang sat cross-legged on a stone stool, looking somewhat anxious at Li Ping’an.

That middle-aged scholar, Wang Shan, still had his back to them but had now released his immortal perception.

Li Ping’an released several treasures from within his sleeve that blocked external probes, and the Cangyue Bead also entered a white ball, using the oppressive might of the Spiritual Treasure to shield against the inspection of the Golden Immortal Realm.

The Tianli Elder had to move closer to barely make out and hear what was going on.

Within the barrier, Xing He, Xinghan, Feng Tingzhu, and the four other trusted aides scrutinized Li Ping’an’s actions attentively.

“Everyone, step back.

Drinking this water can cause pregnancy,” he said.

Li Ping’an put on two layers of masks and then covered them with a face mask, taking out a jar of Fountain of Youth Water.

Since the subsequent steps involved spiritual detachment for a Heavenly Immortal, Li Ping’an, based on the amount of spring water used during his master’s detachment, directly drew a stream of water from the tub, rapidly forming seals with his hands, allowing the stream to gather at the center of his palm, condense, and solidify into a water orb the size of a longan fruit.

What followed was a continuous two hours of repeated refinement.

Li Ping’an maintained this motion throughout, while the middle-aged scholar stood with his back to him, motionless.

Finally, Li Ping’an let out a soft shout,

“Brother Zisang, let your Primordial Spirit exit the body!”

Ye Zisang abruptly opened his eyes, shooting golden light from them, as a three-inch-tall figure flew out from his chest.

The tiny figure seemed like it might take to the winds and wander the vastness in the next instant!

Li Ping’an carefully felt the power of Ye Zisang’s Primordial Spirit, flicked his finger lightly, and the water orb shrank by one-fifth.

A drop of Spiritual Spring hovered in front of the tiny figure enveloped in rainbow-colored brilliance and was then swallowed by it!

Ye Zisang’s Primordial Spirit returned to his body, streams of Spiritual Power surged from within, his Dao Body displayed various colors of immortal light, and many extraordinary phenomena appeared around him.

Another half an hour passed.

Ye Zisang let out a soft breath, his eyes clear, his Dao Body unobstructed, and he rose to give Li Ping’an a Daoist salute.

“Thank you, Brother Li, for your assistance!”

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “This is my secret technique for spirit detachment.

After detachment, the strength of one’s Primordial Spirit will be temporarily reduced, but the future benefits are boundless.”

Having said that, Li Ping’an continued, “I must use these drops of Spiritual Spring immediately.

Brother Wang, are you truly not going to give it a try?”

Wang Shan furrowed his brows tightly.

His fingers resting against the outer side of his thigh trembled slightly, but he ultimately just lay there.

“Brother Wang,” Ye Zisang anxiously said, “the spring water is already prepared!

Brother Li has gone this far, what’s the harm in you trying?”

Wang Shan pursed his lips, still refusing to turn around.

Li Ping’an spoke gently, “Brother Wang, Brother Ye has traveled far and wide and taken such care for your sake.

For you to simply turn your back is rather unjust.”

“I am already a ruined man…

just a ruined man!”

Wang Shan exclaimed with furrowed brows:

“Leave me be, everyone!”

“A true man born in this world, there’s no place for so much hesitation!”

Li Ping’an, holding the spring water in his hands, started with a soft sigh, then firmly shouted:

“Wang Shan, do you recognize this command?”

Clang!

The Xuanyuan Sword Command flew out from Li Ping’an’s chest, emitting bursts of sword cries.

Wang Shan turned his head to glance at it, rolled off and fell over, staring at the Sword Command with eyes full of astonishment, his body trembling like a leaf.

Li Ping’an frowned and commanded, “Disembark your Primordial Spirit!”

“Yes!

This sinner obeys!”

Following the command, Wang Shan did as instructed, and Li Ping’an injected the remaining spring water into Wang Shan’s Primordial Spirit.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Li Ping’an walked away.

“Brother Ye, I’m going to your residence to rest.

“You’ve pleaded with me several times just to save a coward; I truly feel it’s not worth it on your behalf.

“Let today’s matter remain a secret, just between us, for Ye’s sake.

I cannot afford to lose face over this,” he added.

Ye Zisang saluted to Li Ping’an’s retreating figure repeatedly, his eyes filled with joy.

Li Ping’an’s last few words were merely a calculated provocation.

“Thank you, Brother Li!

Go enjoy your meal!

I’ll come over once Brother Wang has stabilized,” Ye Zisang called out.

The Tianli Elder, hidden in the air, seeing this scenario, truly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

‘Wasn’t Ping’an here to investigate the matters of the Wanmo Heaven?

Could the technique of spirit detachment actually help Wang Shan recover?’

The Tianli Elder stroked his beard and sang softly, not yet leaving the pavilion above.

He took a brocade box from his sleeve and from it, he took out a golden pill that contained the Great Luo Dao Rhyme.

‘Young Master Wang, if the hidden injuries in your Primordial Spirit can be healed, this old man will help you restore your Dao Foundation, and by doing so, I’ll have repaid you for your loyalty back then.’
