Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 715: Could this child be the descendant of a Nascent Soul True Lord?

Under the night sky, in the desolate outskirts.

“Bang!”

Lu Ping’an emerged from the ground with the help of an Escape Talisman, looking around to assess the situation.

After a quick observation, he took out a Detoxification Pill from his Storage Bag and swallowed it;then, with a whoosh, he ran towards the dense forest beside him.

Although the Escape Talisman had the effect of concealing his form, this group of pursuers clearly came prepared and might have some means to track him.

Therefore, he needed to find a safe place to expel the poison and heal.

“Sizzle! Sizzle!!!”

Even though he was poisoned and his body was gradually feeling numb and burning, Lu Ping’an’s running speed was still very fast.

Like a cheetah, he sprinted, leaving only afterimages and tearing through the air, creating a long stream of energy that stirred up sounds like cascading river water in the quiet forest.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

“Screech! Screech! Screech!”

The noises Lu Ping’an made awakened the birdcalls and the cries of beasts in the forest.

But even if tigers and leopards appeared in front of him, he would either send them flying with a collision or casually shatter them.

“Sizzle! Sizzle!!!”

After roughly running a hundred miles, Lu Ping’an saw a cliff in front of him.

Immediately, he summoned his Flying Sword and controlled the artifact to enter the woods below, continuing to run for a long time.

Feeling the poison spreading in his body and starting to affect him, only then did he stop to find a place to start the detoxification and healing process.

“Swoosh!”

At the same time, a mass of dark qi burst forth.

It was the Ghost Slave Xiao An from a wooden carving he carried.

Xiao An looked at Lu Ping’an with caring eyes shining in his dark pupils.

“Xiao An, I’ll have to trouble you to keep watch for me,” Lu Ping’an said with a grin.

His face was pale and tired, and his forehead was covered with sweat beads, showing he had expended a lot of energy.

Xiao An nodded, his pale and delicate face taking on a serious expression, then floated next to Lu Ping’an, watching over the surroundings.

Lu Ping’an took out another Detoxification Pill to swallow and sat cross-legged to circulate the “Purple True Solar Scripture” for detoxification and healing.

A while later.

“What kind of poison is this? It’s as tenacious as a Bone-Attaching Sore,” Lu Ping’an frowned, realizing that the poison was not simple and was difficult to dispel, much like a Bone-Attaching Sore.

Even as he channelled his energies, the poison eroded his Spiritual Power and spread faster.

Unbeknownst to him, this poison was none other than the unique Poison Elixir Corpse Soul Fragrance, concocted by Lady Qi.

Ordinary Energy Refining Cultivators poisoned by it would soon become rigid and limp, and then their flesh would wither and decay.

Additionally, the poison would use the cultivator’s Spiritual Power as nourishment, causing it to spread and propagate.

Due to Lu Ping’an’s exceptional achievements on the Martial Path and having reached the Third Layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, he was still unaffected.

It was only after undergoing a battle and running hundreds of miles that he felt the poison gradually taking its toll.

This situation was incredibly astonishing.

“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art!”

Lu Ping’an’s face tensed with concentration as he circulated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, maneuvering his blood and Qi while his body shone with the treasure light, attempting to expel the poison.

Realizing the poison was difficult to expel, he thought of his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique’s Poison Resistance, which rendered ordinary poisons ineffective against him.

He immediately attempted to refine and dissipate the spreading poison with the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

“Just as I thought!”

A moment later, a hint of joy appeared in Lu Ping’an’s eyes.

Refining the poison, however, left his body somewhat stiff and powerless, needing some time to recover.

“If I were to refine all of the poison, I’d probably be weakened for several days,” Lu Ping’an mused.

“But I can’t let this poison linger any longer.”

After some thought, he did not hesitate to fully activate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art to refine the poison.

Time passed slowly.

Daylight gradually crept across the sky.

Lu Ping’an opened his eyes and said to Xiao An beside him, “Xiao An, come back.”

For a Ghost like Xiao An, encountering the fierce sunlight could destabilize his soul and prevent him from appearing during the day.

So, during the day he would keep him inside the wooden carving, not letting him out.

“I’m alright.”

Seeing the hint of worry on Xiao An’s face, he spoke with an easy-going expression.

Hearing this, Xiao An turned into a puff of black Qi and went back into the wooden carving.

“Ugh, I feel sore all over;this really isn’t a pleasant sensation.”

Lu Ping’an looked up at the sky, stretched his limbs as he got up, and murmured as he looked towards the cliff, “I wonder if they’ve stopped chasing me.”

Energy Refining Cultivators may have plenty of tracking methods.

But beyond a hundred miles, it becomes very difficult to find someone.

And considering he ran straight for hundreds of miles, any chances of being followed at the end were minuscule.

Moreover, these were Loose Cultivators who could not make it in the Cultivation World, so even if they had some means, they wouldn’t get very far.

“If I had decided to fight quickly from the start, they wouldn’t have stood a chance against me.”

Lu Ping’an took a piece of Demon Beast meat from his Storage Bag, ate as he replayed the last night’s battle in his mind.

He knew that if he had not been soft-hearted and caught in an ambush, ending in a disadvantageous situation, he could have easily defeated them one by one.

“Sigh.”

He laughed helplessly, without any regret, taking it as a lesson learned to be more cautious in the future.

After eating and drinking his fill, he continued to cultivate to expel the poison and heal his injuries.

Unknown time passed.

“Roar!”

Lu Ping’an heard a roar accompanied by a stench that wafted through the air.

“A Demon Beast!”

Lu Ping’an’s eyes snapped open as he realized the situation was dire.

He knew this was not a wild animal but a Demon Beast.

He was currently stiff and weak;dealing with ordinary wild animals was no problem.

But a Demon Beast could pose a danger.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Ping’an did not hesitate. He immediately sealed his pores, concealed his breath, and silently flew away.

After a long while, realizing he had left the activity range of the Demon Beast, he breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to continue healing.

“Quack, quack!”

Later, Lu Ping’an heard some rustling and a clear female voice.
