Chapter 284: A Hundred Years of Longevity

"Hello, Gu Xianzi!"

The Wang Family members said warmly.

They actually wanted to thank Gu Huiyan for saving Xuanqing Daozhang's life; during Liu Dongzhu's escape with them, they kept mentioning it, and when Hu Meiniang broke in, Xuanqing Daozhang was no match for her.

Xuanqing Daozhang fled… They believed Xuanqing Daozhang could escape, but he delayed Hu Meiniang to give Liu Dongzhu and Wang Ping'an a chance to flee, fearing he would have to risk his life to possibly stop Hu Meiniang's pursuit.

At that time they were very worried about Xuanqing Daozhang's safety; they were not ungrateful, and besides mentioning what Xuanqing Daozhang had done for their family, they also noted his current delay of the monster Hu Meiniang.

It was all for Liu Dongzhu and Wang Ping'an; if Xuanqing Daozhang truly died at Hu Meiniang's hands, it would be as if he died for them.

Facing Gu Huiyan, the savior of Xuanqing Daozhang, how could they not be grateful?

Only.

Thinking of Xuanqing Daozhang's introduction of Gu Huiyan, this fairy is Xuanqing Daozhang's senior sister; in terms of relationship, she might be closer than they are to Xuanqing Daozhang.

Where then is there a need for them to thank for saving Xuanqing Daozhang's life?

"Hello, everyone!"

Gu Huiyan replied, her gaze lingering on Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms, and said, "Madam Wang, I wonder if I could take a look at your Ping'an."

Not long ago.

On the way back, the Wang Family members had already examined Wang Ping'an; although she didn't know whether he was the Innate Dao Body her junior brother mentioned, the matter of a later-stage Sword Body was only a question of time.

However.

She discovered that besides the Innate Dao Body, Wang Ping'an possessed many wondrous traits; she wanted to re‑examine him, preferably a full‑body inspection.

Inspect him inside and out!

To see if she could find something that would surprise her even more on Wang Ping'an.

"Die, die!"

Hearing that, Wang Ping'an's heart panicked instantly; he didn't know whether Gu Huiyan had just probed him with a divine thought and discovered something abnormal, prompting the re‑examination.

If Gu Huiyan discovered his unusual traits, he didn't know what to do.

Whether it would be a blessing or a disaster was hard to tell!

He could only pray silently that his mother wouldn't agree to hand him over to Gu Huiyan.

Although.

That possibility is very small!

"No problem!"

Liu Dongzhu decisively handed Wang Ping'an over.

Wang Ping'an wanted to cry but was speechless, thinking silently, "Mother, my dear and revered mother, you have truly doomed me this time!"

"Madam Wang, you hand your child over to me so directly; aren't you afraid I might harm your child?"

Gu Huiyan said in surprise.

After her junior brother's explanation, she understood that the reason he would clash with Hu Meiniang was his unwillingness to give Wang Ping'an to her.

Her junior brother feared Hu Meiniang might discover something and act against the child.

Liu Dongzhu was worried that the monster Hu Meiniang might treat their child as a snack.

Although.

She might not do anything to Wang Ping'an, but who knows if an accident could occur, yet Liu Dongzhu seemed not at all worried about her.

It was as if he completely forgot that a monster had just broken into a civilian house for his child.

"Gu Xianzi, you are Xuanqing Daozhang's senior sister, and just now you even saved him!"

Liu Dongzhu smiled, naturally having heard the surprise in Gu Huiyan's words, and explained, "I believe you won't harm our Ping'an."

"Junior brother, it seems over the years you've done many good deeds!" Gu Huiyan looked deeply at Xuanqing Daozhang, and from Liu Dongzhu and the Wang Family's attitude toward her junior brother, she could roughly infer the good deeds he had done while settling in this region.

She hadn't forgotten that when her junior brother left Ziyang Palace years ago, he told her his greatest dream was to protect the common folk.

It was not only his dream, but also the dream of the wandering Taoist who had taken him in.

It seems…

He has done quite well!

Gu Huiyan took Wang Ping'an, examined him closely, and suddenly a ray of brilliance shot from her eyes; her pupils glittered with golden light, looking extremely terrifying.

"It's terrible!"

Wang Ping'an wanted to cry but had no tears; his entire body concealed an artificial dantian inside, and beyond that he could only pray that Gu Huiyan hadn't found any abnormalities.

Liu Dongzhu jumped in shock, saying, "Daozhang…"

"Don't worry!"

This novel you to

Xuanqing Daozhang saw not only Liu Dongzhu but also Zhang Guihua and Wang Lin, all startled by his senior sister's golden, flashing eyes; he was also surprised deep inside, not expecting his senior sister to have cultivated her Dharma Eye to such a level, and explained:

"My senior sister uses her Dharma Eye to examine Ping'an's body; if there's even a tiny flaw, she can see it!"

"I see!"

The Wang Family members immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Soon after.

Gu Huiyan's golden, flashing eyes gradually faded, her pupils returned to normal, and she exhaled a heavy breath of foul air, her face full of astonishment.

Xuanqing Daozhang couldn't wait and said, "Senior sister, how is it? This child has no problem, right?"

"This child, this child…"

Gu Huiyan hesitated, seeming unsure how to answer, but seeing that aside from Xuanqing Daozhang, everyone around were Wang Ping'an's relatives, their faces full of concern, and knowing they wouldn't harm the child, she then continued:

"This child has a Sword Apparatus inside, formed from condensed Sword Qi; because of this Sword Apparatus, the child has the potential to become a later‑stage Sword Body, but most importantly, the child is actually a spiritual entity!"

"Spiritual entity?"

Xuanqing Daozhang exclaimed.

As for Wang Ping'an being an acquired sword body, they didn't mind, after all they already knew; originally they wanted to know whether their senior sister would find evidence that Wang Ping'an is an Innate Dao Body.

Although this possibility is very small!

But they never expected that their senior sister would say that Wang Ping'an is a spiritual body.

Liu Dongzhu asked in confusion: "Daozhang, is there any problem with a spiritual body? Is it good or bad that our Ping'an is a spiritual body?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Xuanqing Daozhang looked at not only Liu Dongzhu but also Zhang Guihua and Wang Lin, whose faces were filled with worry, about to explain in detail the benefits of a spiritual body on the cultivation path, but then thought that they were all ordinary people.

Regarding cultivation, it is very vague.

Xuanqing Daozhang swallowed the words at the tip of their mouth and changed tone: "Dongzhu, let me tell you this: if Ping'an, this child, is a spiritual body, then he can live a hundred years without illness or disaster; you think that's good!"

Of course.

Whether it's being free of illness and disaster or living a hundred years, for a spiritual body it's merely a minor benefit, nowhere near the effect of the cultivation path.

"Good, good, good!"

Whether Liu Dongzhu, Zhang Guihua, or Wang Lin, upon hearing Xuanqing Daozhang's reply, they were unusually excited, almost happier than knowing they could live a hundred years.
