Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 479: The Growth of Power

Seeing the two men killed, Yu Xianlan and the others were filled with emotion.

It was too smooth.

A full nine Ninth Rank Experts had actually all been slain by them.

And on their side, not a single one had died.

This was truly too incredulous.

Of course, she knew that all of this was thanks to Xu Ping’an.

If it weren’t for Xu Ping’an’s control of the pace, it wouldn’t have been possible for them to kill all these people so quickly.

Xu Ping’an, however, wasn’t dwelling on thoughts at the moment; he had already begun to collect the spoils of war.

Soon, the storage rings of all nine people had been picked up by Xu Ping’an.

After inspecting the nine storage rings, Xu Ping’an also had a rough idea.

The storage rings of these people contained not a few treasures, mostly elixirs, spirit stones, immortal stones, and immortal artifacts.

Hu Shouxuan and Sheng Ruofei’s storage rings held more treasures.

"Sect Master Liu, these four storage rings are for you. Although there are not many treasures inside, it should be enough to sustain the disciples of the Hehuan Sect for half a year’s cultivation," Xu Ping’an said, handing over the storage rings to Liu Yan with a smile.

"For me?" Liu Yan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, this is what you deserve. These are all spoils of war," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Xu... Hall Master, isn’t this too much for you to give?" Liu Yan had never thought about getting any spoils of war.

But Xu Ping’an actually gave them, and even gave her four storage rings.

"Hmm, now that your Hehuan Sect has joined our Eternal Palace, you are our people, and I naturally won’t treat you poorly," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"The Hall Master is indeed generous," Liu Yan said coquettishly with a smile.

She put away the four storage rings.

Xu Ping’an smiled, then turned to Yan Zhenling and said, "This is the storage ring of Kong Mingsheng whom you killed, and this other one is Hu Shouxuan’s. The resources inside should be enough for you to recruit a group of people to serve you."

"Thank you, young master," Yan Zhenling said gratefully.

"There’s no need to thank me; as I’ve said before, since you work for me, you are one of my people. I never treat my own people badly. Of course, if someone betrays me, I will make her regret it for the rest of her life," Xu Ping’an said indifferently.

Hearing this, Yan Zhenling nodded solemnly.

Liu Yan also fell into deep thought.

Xu Ping’an walked up to Yu Xianlan and handed her a storage ring.

"This contains the Red Gold Sands you wanted," Xu Ping’an said.

"Are you really willing to give this to me?" Yu Xianlan still felt a bit unreal.

There were ten jins of Red Gold Sands inside, worth a fortune.

Yet Xu Ping’an was actually giving this treasure directly to her?

"This item is not of much use to me right now, and the people around me don’t need it either. It’s best given to you. Besides, using some Red Gold Sands to exchange for a favor from an Immortal Emperor is always worth it," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Yu Xianlan’s eyes instantly reddened, and she gazed foolishly at Xu Ping’an.

The latter had a sincere smile on his face, which made Yu Xianlan feel an unprecedented warmth.

For years, in her search for a way to heal her father, she had never slacked off, but all she had reaped were confusion and disappointment.

But now, in Xu Ping’an, she felt a glimmer of hope.

"Quickly take it, or I’ll regret giving it to you," Xu Ping’an said with a laugh.

Yu Xianlan broke into a smile through her tears, accepted the storage ring, and earnestly said to Xu Ping’an, "Since you intend to establish your own force, you keep these Immortal Stones. Although it’s not much, there are ten million low-grade Immortal Stones."

"That many?" Xu Ping’an said in surprise.

"It’s not a lot, worth far less than those ten jins of Red Gold Sands," Yu Xianlan said with a smile.

"I happen to need Immortal Stones, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you," Xu Ping’an said as he took the storage ring from Yu Xianlan and put it away.

With these Immortal Stones, his Spirit Gathering Array could be put to use.

When the time came to find a place rich in spiritual energy, his force should be able to be established.

Yu Xianlan saw Xu Ping’an accept it, and her face also showed a hint of a smile.

"Pet, what about me?" The Savage Ape King, seeing Xu Ping’an distributing treasures, immediately became envious.

"You already have a treasure of the ape tribe, don’t you? Besides, you’re not one of us from the Eternal Palace, why should I give you anything? Unless you want to join the Eternal Palace?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, you won’t share any treasures with me?" The Savage Ape King was somewhat annoyed.

"I never said I wouldn’t share with you; think about it, isn’t the staff in your hand a Superior Grade Immortal Artifact? Is there anything more precious than what you have now? Could you have gotten the treasures without me leading the way, could you have killed them without me keeping them occupied? I haven’t even asked you for any treasures," said Xu Ping’an.

"It seems you’re right? Then I don’t want the treasures. Oh, right, the Eternal Palace you mentioned, can I really join?" The Savage Ape King asked.

Xu Ping’an was stunned; he had only made a casual mention.

Could it be that the Savage Ape King really wanted to join?

"You want to join?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Yes, I think it’s more interesting to follow you than to act alone," the Savage Ape King said.

Hearing this, Xu Ping’an immediately laughed.

A Ninth Rank fighter for free.

Why not take what’s free?

"Fine, you can join if you want, but from now on, you have to listen to me. Whatever I tell you to do, you do, otherwise forget about joining," Xu Ping’an said.

"Listen to you? Why, you used to listen to me," the Savage Ape King was somewhat displeased.

"Listen to you, and you think you can get treasures? Listen to me, and I can help you break through to the Tenth Rank. Isn’t that enough?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Break through to the Tenth Rank?" The Savage Ape King was immediately delighted.

He genuinely believed it.

Because before, Xu Ping’an had given Yan Zhenling the Emperor Body Elixir.

He had boosted Yan Zhenling to the Fourth Layer Realm of the Ninth Rank in one go.

By following him, maybe he could also get such treasures.

The Savage Ape King could bend and stretch, so for the sake of breaking through, it was no problem to temporarily heed him.

"Alright, I agree," the Savage Ape King consented.

Hearing this, Xu Ping’an laughed.

This Savage Ape King was pretty sharp.

He was thinking of reaping benefits from him, but if it submitted to him, it would be a nice addition to his strength.

"In that case, you are now a member of the Eternal Palace. From now on, I’ll call you Little Monkey, and you just call me Xu Ping’an," Xu Ping’an said.

"Little Monkey sounds terrible," the Savage Ape King said angrily.

"Then, I’ll call you Ape King," Xu Ping’an said.

"Okay," the Ape King agreed.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly; mission accomplished.

Yu Xianlan and the others around were all looking on in amazement.

Was he really persuaded so easily?

With this, the power of the Eternal Palace had grown even stronger.

"Xu Ping’an, did you find the method to enter the Source Ground of Dao Principle?" Yu Xianlan suddenly asked seriously.

Xu Ping’an shook his head: "I’ve searched through all the great halls, and I haven’t found anything that could open the Source Ground of Dao Principle. Also, I’m keeping an eye on those Ninth Rank Experts, and they haven’t found any traces of a method to the Source Ground of Dao Principle either."

"Could it be that the rumor is false?" Yu Xianlan frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Xu Ping’an, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it.

Even if there were a method to the Source Ground of Dao Principle, it would be very difficult for him to seize it.

After all, there were not a few Ninth Rank Peak Level experts, and then there were even Tenth Rank experts lurking around.

He could not participate at all.

"It’s time to leave," Xu Ping’an suddenly looked towards the outside of the palace.

He felt it was time to leave the Heavenly Star Palace.

There was no point in staying any longer.
