**Chapter 59: True Immaculate Sword Body**

Apprentice?

This Long Shaoyan’s physique is close to the Saint Body, and his bloodline is indeed outstanding, making him quite remarkable.

If he doesn’t suffer an early demise, he will surely ascend to immortality.

Moreover, even if he reaches the Immortal Realm, his qualifications can be considered top-notch.

Additionally, this kid is a treasure of the Long Family; taking him in will naturally make it more convenient for me to navigate the Long Family in the future.

Furthermore, the Long Family not only has numerous immortal cultivators as a foundation in the lower realm, but it has also formed a considerable power in the higher realm. This is something Chen Ansheng has read in Long Xu’s autobiography.

Considering all this, forming a deep connection definitely has its benefits for me.

“I didn’t expect you to have some scheming, you brat,” Chen Ansheng said calmly.

Long Que and the others were taken aback, thinking that this kid Shaoyan has really overstepped—how can he play tricks in front of such high-level figures?

Just as they were about to scold him, they heard Chen Ansheng continue, “However, I have never favored those who are rigid and foolish. If your elder agrees, then I will accept you.”

“You silly boy, why are you still dawdling? Quickly perform the apprenticeship rite!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and Old Ancestor Long Que hurriedly urged Long Shaoyan to pay his respects.

Having Shaoyan become an apprentice to such a master, his future benefits will be immense.

Moreover, the Long Family’s connection to an immortal-level rogue cultivator above the fourth realm is a rare opportunity!

“My disciple greets the Master and has knocked his head before you.”

Long Shaoyan was overjoyed and quickly bowed several times before Chen Ansheng.

“Get up.”

Chen Ansheng waved his hand lightly, lifting Long Shaoyan up.

“Yes, Master.”

After Long Shaoyan got up, he assisted Chen Ansheng to take a seat and respectfully stood to the side.

“Brother Chen, from now on, Shaoyan will be entrusted to you. If he does anything wrong, feel free to reprimand him.” Long Que said with a beaming smile.

Chen Ansheng simply nodded lightly, and Long Que ordered someone to bring good wine to drink with Chen Ansheng.

“In the future, when you see Brother Chen, it will be like seeing this old man. If there is any negligence, get out of the Long Family. Do you all understand?” Long Que announced loudly.

“We will obey the old ancestor’s command,” everyone stood up in response.

After some feasting and drinking, Long Shaoyan said, “By the way, Master, didn’t you say you wanted to visit the Spirit Pool? After the banquet, I can take you there, alright?”

Hearing this, the senior members present put down their wine cups. One of them said, “Shaoyan, the old ancestor gave a decree a few days ago to seal that passage for fifty years, and no one is to—”

Before he could finish, Long Que slammed the table in anger: “Bullshit, I just gave the order! Brother Chen’s actions are the same as mine. Are you deaf? Get out and reflect on yourself for three years.”

That person was left nearly in tears, secretly regretting his loose tongue, and obediently left the table to reflect.

Long Que turned back with a smile and said, “Brother Chen, regarding the recent changes in the Bichui Cold Pool, I believe Shaoyan has informed you. You should be careful when you go; I won’t accompany you.”

Chen Ansheng replied, “Brother Long, you focus on your matters. I’m just curious to take a look.”

…

After the banquet.

Long Shaoyan led the way, passing through various formations and barriers, arriving at the forbidden area below the Long Family.

Here there was an ancient stone chamber that had existed for countless years.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a swirling space the size of a dustpan, which was the passage to the Bichui Pool.

“Master, my ancestor is worried that my evil fire will become stronger if I go, and instructed me to rest for a few months before visiting the Spirit Pool, so I can’t accompany you in today,” Long Shaoyan said apologetically.

“It’s fine, I can go on my own,” Chen Ansheng thought to himself; it was better without outsiders.

Long Shaoyan nodded and then said, “By the way, Master, to prevent you from being afflicted by the evil fire poison, I should prepare some ‘antidote’ for you. Rest assured, it’s top-quality antidote. What do you think?”

Chen Ansheng almost blushed.

This kid has some good sense.

So, Chen Ansheng put on a solemn expression and said earnestly, “The evil fire poison indeed needs to be guarded against; you should go prepare it.”

Long Shaoyan bowed, “I will prepare it right away. Disciples take their leave.”

After Long Shaoyan left, Chen Ansheng didn’t immediately enter the spatial passage; after all, one must always guard against others.

He took out a puppet immortal talisman, conjuring an immortal soldier puppet, and focused his intent on it, sending it into the spatial passage.

Once the immortal puppet entered, there was no anomaly; it landed smoothly at the edge of a cold pool.

With this, Chen Ansheng felt at ease and entered.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before Chen Ansheng changed.

This was a stone cave, with many unknown tree roots attached to the surrounding stone walls.

In the center of the stone cave, there was a cold pool about ten feet in diameter, exuding a chilling aura.

“Finally here.”

After considerable effort, Chen Ansheng finally found this Bichui Cold Pool and was eager to give it a try.

Chen Ansheng stepped forward, walking to the edge of the cold pool, gradually immersing himself in the water.

“So cold.”

Even though Chen Ansheng had an immortal body, he felt a chilling sensation piercing through to his bones.

“My immortal power is dwindling?”

After staying for a while, Chen Ansheng noticed that the pool water was drawing away his immortal power, resulting in some fatigue.

“Long Shaoyan wasn’t lying; this pool not only fails to improve my qualifications but instead assaults my physique.”

Then, Chen Ansheng took some immortal crystals from his storage bag.

The old ancestor of the Long Family had studied this pool for hundreds of years to find a solution, and it should not be wrong.

Chen Ansheng dropped an immortal crystal into the Bichui Cold Pool.

As the crystal fell, it instantly dissolved, and the temperature of the pool water began to change.

“The effect is immediate!”

Before long, the pool water that was ice-cold turned warm.

“Comfortable.”

The discomfort from before, where the water had been siphoning his immortal power, was completely gone, replaced by a pleasant sensation throughout his body.

This process lasted about half an hour.

Feeling the pool water beginning to cool again, Chen Ansheng dropped in a few more immortal crystals.

With more crystals added, the warm and comfortable feeling grew even stronger.

“It seems the more spiritual energy from the Bichui Pool, the better the effect.”

So, Chen Ansheng added even more immortal crystals.

Several hours later, having dropped a total of three thousand immortal crystals into the pool, he felt the spiritual pool no longer greedy, as if reaching a certain saturation state.

“Refreshing, this is truly amazing!”

As Chen Ansheng soaked in the pool water, he experienced a sensation of comfort that he had never felt since birth.

Three days passed in a flash.

The immortal crystals thrown into the pool were once again depleted.

Chen Ansheng opened his eyes, activated his immortal sense, and examined his body.

“Different now!”

Even though he had mentally prepared, Chen Ansheng was taken aback; the changes in his physique were so rapid and significant.

“In just three days, my physique could be deemed a true Immaculate Sword Body!”

Regarding knowledge of physique and qualifications, Chen Ansheng was already quite knowledgeable, especially about his own Sword Body, of which he understood thoroughly.

Physiques are classified into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, true-grade, mysterious-grade, superb-grade, king-grade, saint-grade, and the extremely rare emperor-grade!

Chen Ansheng’s Immaculate Sword Body could be considered upper-middle-grade among the vast populace in the Immortal Realm; however, compared to the talented descendants of immortal ancient families and some ascenders, his rank was low.

Now, having consumed just a few thousand immortal crystals in a span of three days, his physique had been elevated to the true-grade!

How could this not make him ecstatic?
