"Ancient Venerable, such great kindness, this old man has no way to repay!"

Xing Tianxiao's voice trembled with excitement: "This old man's life is now Ancient Venerable's, I vow to serve Ancient Venerable with unwavering loyalty!"

Upon learning that he could be resurrected and reborn, Xing Tianxiao was already overwhelmed with ecstatic joy.

Now knowing that within a month he could restore his Soul Body, Xing Tianxiao's mood was as if he had ascended from hell to heaven, immeasurably happy.

"Elder Xing, you're too polite," Gu Chenfeng smiled happily, "Elder Xing's power is formidable, and with Elder Xing's help, the strength of the Immortal Mansion is even greater."

With the addition of Xing Tianxiao and Lin Zhentian, the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion could now boast powerful Immortal Venerable experts in residence.

As time passed, nourished by Ancient Divine Power and Lin Zhentian's Soul Power, Xing Tianxiao's Residual Soul grew increasingly strong, gradually solidifying.

At this moment,

beads of sweat rolled down Lin Zhentian's forehead, his face slightly pale, clearly having expended tremendous Soul Power, yet he still gritted his teeth to persevere.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at him and said, "Elder Lin, do not overexert yourself. If you are exhausted, you may rest for a moment." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lin Zhentian resolutely replied, "No worries, being able to help Elder Xing recover, this bit of expenditure is nothing, this old man can still endure."

Two hours later,

Xing Tianxiao's Residual Soul had become much stronger, transforming from its once-ethereal state to something distinctly visible.

Xing Tianxiao sighed, "I never imagined that in my lifetime, I could have such an opportunity."

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Elder Xing, this is just the beginning. Once you are fully restored, you can use the Body Casting Pill at any time to remold your physical body."

...

In the Supreme Immortal Hall, a mysterious aura pervaded the majestic and solemn palaces.

The Third Elder of the Immortal Mansion, carrying out Gu Chenfeng's mission, arrived at the Supreme Immortal Hall.

With a solemn countenance and steady steps, the Third Elder, however, harbored some anxiety in his heart.

After all, this time he was here to obtain precious medicinal materials from the powerful Supreme Immortal Hall.

In front of the mountain gate of the Supreme Immortal Hall,

a disciple guarding the gate stepped forward and asked, "Who goes there?"

The Third Elder cupped his fist and politely smiled, "This old man is the Third Elder of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, here to request an audience with Elder Xuan Qingyang. Please do report."

In the past, the Third Elder would not have been afraid of the Supreme Immortal Hall.

But now, with the reshuffling of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion and its strength far from what it was, he could not afford to bring trouble to Gu Chenfeng, so he had to be courteous.

Upon hearing that it was the Third Elder of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, the disciple immediately cupped his fist in respect, "Third Elder, please hold on a moment."

A few minutes later,

the disciple returned, respectfully saying, "Third Elder, please come in."

"Thank you." The Third Elder cupped his hands in gratitude.

However,

as the Third Elder walked further into the plaza, a grating voice reached his ears.

"Yo, where did this old relic come from, daring to rampage at our Supreme Immortal Hall!" The speaker was none other than the Grand Commander of the Supreme Immortal Hall, his stature burly and his gaze full of arrogance and disdain.

The Grand Commander of the Supreme Immortal Hall, whose cultivation had already reached the late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, possessed a terrifying power indeed.

The Third Elder's heart tightened, but he maintained his composure, cupping his hands and saying, "I am the Third Elder of the Immortal Mansion, here under the orders of my family's Ancestor, to request an audience with Elder Xuan Qingyang. I hope you might report this."

The Grand Commander smirked with arrogance and disdain, "What Immortal Mansion? Never heard of it! And you think you can meet Elder Xuan Qingyang? What a joke!"

"Moreover, I've never heard of any Ancestor in the Ancient Immortal Mansion."

He sized up the Third Elder with increasing disdain and contempt.

The Third Elder suppressed his displeasure, frowning, "Our Immortal Mansion Ancestor knows Elder Xuan Qingyang. I've come here for serious business."

"Hahaha!" The Grand Commander laughed up at the sky, "Know each other? Do you think you can just make up any reason to pass as truth? Elder Xuan Qingyang is a prominent figure in our Supreme Immortal Hall, a mere stamp of his foot can shake the entire Immortal Realm, do you think just anyone can meet him?"

"And Ancestor? Old man, do you really think you can fool me, the Grand Commander? If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The surrounding disciples followed suit, pointing and taunting the Third Elder with mocking expressions.

The disciple who attended to the Third Elder hastily and respectfully said, "Grand Commander, Elder has already..."

"Hmm?" The Grand Commander shot a fierce glance, scaring the disciple into immediate silence.

The Third Elder's face turned slightly gloomy, but fully aware of the importance of this task, he could only suppress his anger and grievance.

The Third Elder cupped his fists once more, "I ask the Grand Commander to be accommodating, report this, or perhaps let Elder Xuan Qingyang come out to verify it."

The Grand Commander glared with wide eyes, shouting, "You old fellow really don't know when to quit! If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"

Just then,

an authoritative voice resounded: "What is all this ruckus about?"

Everyone turned to see Elder Xuan Qingyang approaching quickly.

His posture was upright, his aura restrained, his eyes full of wisdom and authority, giving off a natural sense of command.

Even more terrifying was the frightening aura emanating from Xuan Qingyang.

"Not leaving yet?" the Grand Commander hissed, casting a fierce glare at the Third Elder.

The next second,

the Grand Commander immediately donned a smiling face and respectfully advanced to greet him, "Elder, this unknown old fellow insists you know his Ancestor and wants to see you."

"People from the Immortal Realm wanting to see Elder—all kinds of reasons are made up. Elder, should I just chase him away?"

"Ancestor?" Xuan Qingyang looked at the Third Elder, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

The Third Elder hurriedly stepped forward, cupping his fists and politely saying, "Elder, I am the Third Elder of the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion! Sent by the Ancestor himself."

The disciple attending to the Third Elder also respectfully said, "Reporting to Elder, it is indeed this Elder seeking an audience."

Xuan Qingyang promptly asked, "Who is the Ancestor of the Immortal Mansion?"

The Third Elder replied, "The Ancestor is Gu Chenfeng."

"Gu Chenfeng!" Xuan Qingyang's expression changed dramatically to one of great joy, "So Master is the Ancestor of the Immortal Mansion. I had been wondering why I had never heard of an Ancestor there."

"What? Master?" The Third Elder's old face changed dramatically.

The Third Elder could hardly believe it—the Elder of the Supreme Immortal Hall was actually Gu Chenfeng's disciple.

"Mas... Master? No way..." The Grand Commander's eyes widened to their limit, utterly dumbfounded and shocked.

A torrent of intense fear surged in his heart.

Xuan Qingyang turned to look at the Grand Commander, his face icy cold, angrily shouting, "How dare you! Do you know this is someone sent by my Master? How could you be so rude!"

The Grand Commander, full of terror, hurriedly knelt on both knees, stammering, "El... Elder, I... I didn't know, I beg you for forgiveness!"

Xuan Qingyang narrowed his eyes, exuding a murderous aura, coldly raging, "Forgiveness? You dared to trouble someone sent by Master and even thought of driving him away, aren't you tired of living?"
