Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 756 - 755 The Purpose of the Jade Immortal Temple
"So you called me here to help me with the poison?" Gongsun Yao asked.
"Miss Gongsun has misunderstood. Why would I want to cure you of the poison? Helping you seems to offer me no benefit. Moreover, you must be aware that, to cure the poison, you must withstand the refining of the Chaotic Flame. In doing so, you would inevitably stand naked before me. Are you mentally prepared for that?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
Gongsun Yao’s face grew complex.
Indeed!
Was she prepared?
Clearly not, the idea of baring herself in front of a strange man was something she found unacceptable.
But she really wanted to be cured of the poison.
She could no longer bear the torment of the sinister toxin.
"Your Chaotic Flame doesn’t seem to be strong enough; with its current intensity, I fear it might not be able to completely eradicate the poison within me," Gongsun Yao pondered, biting her lip.
"True, but if I could acquire the Nine Heavens Divine Fire and allow the Chaotic Flame to devour it, then removing the sinister poison from your body would hardly be a difficult task," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.
Gongsun Yao was shocked.
If Qin Feng really obtained the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, then curing her of the deadly poison would truly be within easy reach.
"Are you confident you can acquire the Nine Heavens Divine Fire?" Gongsun Yao asked.
"Sixty percent confident," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.
Gongsun Yao was astonished.
This guy actually had a sixty percent chance—could he really be a Semi-Divine Artifact Refiner?
Unless one was a Semi-Divine Artifact Refiner, it was impossible to be the first in this grand competition.

"Fine, as long as you can get the Divine Fire, I will let you cure me of the poison," Gongsun Yao said with a resolute gaze.
As if she had made a great decision.
Yet Xu Ping’an shook his head with a smile: "Miss Gongsun, I think you are mistaken. Curing you offers no benefits to me. Why should I cure you?"
"As long as you can cure me, I, Gongsun Yao, will be yours. Dual Cultivation with me will greatly enhance your cultivation; you won’t be at a loss," Gongsun Yao said somewhat irritably.
Did this guy have to force her to say such words before he would give in?
Wasn’t that his purpose for having her come here in the first place?
From the start, that had been his intention.
Gongsun Yao clenched her fists, feeling that Xu Ping’an had been planning to make her his Furnace Cauldron from the very beginning.
Yet he still had the audacity to act as if he were the aggrieved party.
Xu Ping’an glanced at Gongsun Yao with a faintly amused look in his eyes.
He had no intention of making Gongsun Yao his Furnace Cauldron; his willingness to cure her was purely out of regard for Yu Xianlan.
And those previous words were merely to tease Gongsun Yao.
It seemed the girl was indeed greatly tormented by the sinister poison, for her to agree so readily.
For a woman, to completely become another man’s Furnace Cauldron was undoubtedly a form of bondage.
"You may leave now. When I have obtained the Divine Fire, you may come to find me again," Xu Ping’an said, letting go and saying no more.
But Gongsun Yao was full of surprise.
She had thought Xu Ping’an would ask for some immediate benefit, especially since he was immune to her sinister poison.
Yet Xu Ping’an was simply letting her go?
"You’re just letting me go?" Gongsun Yao asked.
"What, did you actually want to stay and serve in my bedchamber?" Xu Ping’an turned his head, looking at Gongsun Yao with a scoff.
Gongsun Yao’s face flashed with embarrassment, and without another word, she turned and left.
However, as she was about to exit Xu Ping’an’s room, her face revealed a hint of doubt.
Both Tenth Rank First Layer, both possessing bodies of the Chaotic Flame?
Could such coincidences exist in this world?
"Xu Ping’an?" Gongsun Yao asked tentatively.
"Who is Xu Ping’an?" Xu Ping’an responded with feigned confusion.
Gongsun Yao’s brow furrowed. Could it be that he was not?
```
Could it be that I was wrong?
"It’s okay, maybe I guessed wrong," Gongsun Yao responded with a sentence before leaving the place.
Xu Ping’an watched Gongsun Yao walk away, a slight smile curling the corners of his mouth.
In reality, he wasn’t afraid of being recognized by Gongsun Yao; even if she had her suspicions, it didn’t matter.
Whether he was Qin Feng or Xu Ping’an, it was all the same to Gongsun Yao.
Moreover, he hadn’t planned on hiding his identity forever.
"Forget it, considering you’re a friend of Yu Xianlan, I’ll help you this once," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.
From the beginning to the end, he had never considered Dual Cultivation with Gongsun Yao.
Even if he did cure her poison in the future, he wouldn’t take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state.
Xu Ping’an would rather not engage in Dual Cultivation without feelings involved.
Xu Ping’an stopped dwelling on the thought and entered the Demon Elephant Tower to begin contemplating the Dao Laws.
Inside the Demon Elephant Tower, Xu Ping’an held a Divine Wooden Stick, continuously waving it.
Again and again, he used Sword Moves to express his understanding of the Dao Laws.
The way Xu Ping’an comprehended the Dao Laws was simple: he would use the Power of Dao Principles he had already mastered, and then constantly exert this power to deduce the subsequent direction of the Dao Laws.
It must be said that such a method was indeed effective.
Not only could it quickly enhance his power of the Dao Laws, but it also allowed Xu Ping’an to become more proficient with his Swordsmanship.
As time passed, Xu Ping’an was completely immersed in his cultivation.
His comprehension of the Dao Laws also improved.
…
Meanwhile, as Xu Ping’an continued to enhance his understanding,
In a secluded residence within Divine Artifact City, four people were currently gathering.
At first glance, these four appeared to be just common people.
However, if observed by a strong cultivator, one would realize that a terrifying aura surrounded each of them.
"Evil Bone, I didn’t expect that Myriad Demons Sect would send you here; it seems that Chi Mou is really serious this time," said a white-bearded old man who looked like a Daoist immortal with a laugh.
The man referred to as Evil Bone, a middle-aged man, exuded a fearsome Yin energy and wore an armor crafted from some beast’s bones, his entire body radiating a terrifying Blood Evil Energy.
Beside him stood another elderly man, who similarly exuded a Demon Evil Energy.
This person was none other than the black-hearted old ghost Xu Ping’an had previously encountered.
Yet even this man looked at Evil Bone with a trace of reverence.
Evil Bone Immortal Emperor, a master of the Twelfth Rank and Seventh Layer Realm.
He was also a well-known figure throughout the Jade Spirit Realm.
"Pure Yang, I can’t believe you’re still alive," the Evil Bone Immortal Emperor said with a cold laugh, glancing at the old man in Daoist robes.
"Heh heh, I’ve just broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Twelfth Rank; how could I die so easily? Evil Bone, we’re allies this time. You should watch your words and not harm our good relations," said the Daoist with a laugh.
Beside him stood a burly man with a grim face, who seemed to have no intention of speaking.
However, Evil Bone occasionally looked at this man, seemingly with intent.
Jade Immortal Sect actually sent this guy, too? What are they planning?
"Pure Yang, you surely have more than one objective for this operation, right?" Evil Bone got straight to the point.
"Evil Bone, you do get straight to the point. Indeed, this time not only do we want to help you achieve your goals, we also aim to keep the Immortal Empress here permanently," said the Daoist.
"To keep the Immortal Empress here, aren’t you afraid of enraging the Yu Immortal Emperor completely? You know he’s not dead yet, who knows if he still possesses the power to strike?" Evil Bone said, surprised.
The black-hearted old ghost was also somewhat astonished.
For many years, Jade Immortal Sect and Myriad Demons Sect had not made a complete move against the Immortal Hall because the Yu Immortal Emperor had not yet died.
As long as the Yu Immortal Emperor was alive, no one dared to face his last strike.
Now that Jade Immortal Sect was planning to take action, were they aiming for a decisive battle with the Immortal Hall?
