At this moment, upon hearing Pingfan's words, the old man nodded slightly and slowly said.

"Your physical body is now so strong that even a Mahayana cultivator cannot destroy it."

At this point, the old man paused, then said with a serious expression.

"However, it doesn't mean you won't be killed. Any cultivator above the Void Returning stage can kill you if they erase your soul."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan frowned slightly, looked at the old man, and asked in confusion.

"Senior, why is it only cultivators at the Void Returning stage or above who can erase my soul?"

Upon hearing Pingfan's question, the old man chuckled lightly and sneered.

"Whose body did you merge with? It's the body of an immortal. A soul with low cultivation level simply cannot penetrate your body and attack your soul."

Pingfan, who was initially somewhat puzzled, couldn't help but shrink back and mutter a complaint under his breath after hearing the old man's words.

"So powerful, yet he still died in the end."

The ordinary voice, though small, could not escape the old man's hearing.

Immediately, the old man's face darkened, and he gave a cold laugh, saying...

"You little rascal, you're already teasing this old man."

Seeing that his complaints had been overheard by the old man, Pingfan quickly put on a flattering smile.

"Senior, I was wrong. Please don't blame me for my unintentional words."

Seeing Pingfan's expression, the old man's lips twitched involuntarily, and he sighed softly, saying...

"Alright, now you have the strength to kill a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, you can go and take revenge."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan's smile vanished, replaced by a cold killing intent in his eyes. He then bowed slightly to the old man and spoke respectfully.

"I will never forget your great kindness, senior. After I have avenged myself, I will spend the rest of my life with you."

Upon hearing Pingfan's promise, the old man nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

"Then I'll wait for you here."

After saying that, the old man waved to Pingfan, indicating that he could leave.

Seeing this, Pingfan bowed to the old man again and left without looking back.

The old man watched Pingfan's departing figure and murmured softly.

"Kid, just spending the rest of your life with me isn't enough."

After speaking, the old man looked deeply in the direction where Pingfan had left, then put away the Chaos Cauldron and his figure slowly disappeared.

By the lake, after leaving, Pingfan did not immediately go to find the four major families. Instead, he went to his usual place to fill his stomach before seeking revenge.

But when Pingfan saw the reflection in the lake, he was suddenly stunned.

His ordinary appearance was reflected on the lake. The three scars on his face had disappeared, revealing a completely undamaged face.

Looking at the lifelike face, Pingfan quickly glanced at the back of his hand that had been injured by the half-dragon's breath.

The once wrinkled and dry back of the hand is now smooth and delicate, and even the veins on it can be clearly seen.

Although Pingfan no longer cares much about his appearance, he is still very happy to be able to recover.

After repeatedly confirming that the previous wounds were no longer visible, Pingfan began preparing food.

Suddenly, just as Pingfan stood up, intending to hunt nearby monsters to fill his stomach, he heard the sound of wind breaking in the air.

Ordinary people can still distinguish that this sound of wind breaking is not the sound of natural wind, but the sound of wind caused by someone flying through the air.

Upon realizing this, Pingfan instinctively found a secluded spot and hid without a second thought.

After the sound of wind breaking faded into the distance, Pingfan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.

This made Pingfan's relaxed heart tense up again, and he listened carefully to the sounds outside.

A moment later, five figures appeared. The burly man among them looked at the scene and said softly.

"Let's rest here for a while, then quietly approach those powerful forces."

After hearing the burly man's words, the four people with him nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing that none of the four had any objections, the burly man led them to the lakeside, found an open space, and began to rest.

Suddenly, one of them looked in this direction and spoke.

"The scenery here is quite nice. Why don't we hunt some monsters to have as snacks with our drinks?"

However, upon hearing his words, the burly man immediately straightened his face and reprimanded him.

"Nonsense, we came here secretly. If someone notices us, wouldn't that expose our whereabouts?"

After being scolded by the burly man, the man realized how foolish his words had been and quickly apologized with a forced smile.

"Brother, I was reckless."

Seeing that he realized his mistake, the burly man's expression softened, and he spoke slowly.

"This strange phenomenon is unprecedented; it must have attracted many powerful forces."

"And we are just some independent cultivators with no backing. If these powerful forces find out about us, they definitely won't let us go."

Upon hearing the burly man's words, the man who had spoken earlier frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"But even if we followed them, it seemed like we couldn't see any hope."

Seeing that he actually said such a thing, the burly man was quite helpless. He looked around and then said in a low voice.

"You're really dense; you didn't notice that the four major families seem to be at odds."

"If they find the treasure, they'll definitely fight it out. We can then steal the treasure while they're fighting."

After hearing the burly man's words, the other three nodded in agreement, but the man who had spoken earlier still frowned.

Seeing him like this, the burly man looked at him and asked unhappily.

"Xiao Wu, what's with that expression?"

Seeing the burly man looking at him and hearing his question, the man called Xiao Wu voiced his doubts.

"Brother, I don't mean to discourage you, but with our Foundation Establishment cultivation levels, do you really think we can steal treasures right under the noses of those powerful figures?"

Upon hearing this, the four of them looked at Xiao Wu in astonishment, realizing that what he said seemed to make sense.

At this moment, the burly man also realized that it seemed really difficult for the five Foundation Establishment cultivators to take the treasure away from under the noses of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

But he had just given such a confident lecture, so it was a bit difficult to ask him to admit his mistake now.

Upon seeing the burly man's discomfiture, the man in the gray robe beside him straightened his face and reprimanded Xiao Wu.

"Little Five, how dare you speak to your elder brother like that?"

After being scolded, Xiao Wu shrank his neck slightly and said in a low voice.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Look at my brother's expression; he definitely realized he misspoke."

At this moment, the burly man waved his hand at the man in the gray robe and slowly spoke.

"Xiao Wu was right; I was just too naive."

After speaking, the burly man gave the four of them an apologetic look.

Suddenly, the five heard a strange noise not far behind them, and they quickly turned around and shouted.

"Who goes there? Get out here right now!"
