Reborn In Tales Of Demons And Gods

After making the first body, Jun feels that he can make another one. He fully mastered the intermediate section of the True Body technique so he is now able to create 9 more bodies.

After creating the second True Body, Jun has them practice inside his word while he goes back to the orphanage. During his one year in Glory City, Jun focus too much on learning Alchemy that he never really made any friends. To the rest of the orphan, Jun is that weird kid that is always alone.

'Not that it matters if I have friends in the orphanage or not. I'm going to leave it soon anyway.' Jun thought as he makes his way back. Since he's always alone, no one really notices if he's gone so he was able to make his way back into the orphanage without trouble.

The next day, Jun sneak out of the orphanage again. He summons one of his True Body and has it transform into an old but tough and wise looking man.

'I guess while I have my True Body cure the City Lord's wife, I should practice my unarmed combat and weapons mastery.' Jun thought as he goes back to the orphanage while his True Body goes toward the City Lord's palace.

(True Body POV)

When I reach the City Lord's Palace, I stop in front of the gate to admire the place. After living as an orphan for a year, any nice place will look amazing. Of course, even if it looks good, it doesn't give the cozy and warm feel of a modern home. As I was going to knock on the gate one of the guards there spoke up.

"Halt, this is the City Lord's resident. Not just anyone is able to disturb him." Guard.

Unlike what most people believe, not many people in the cultivation world is arrogant. Only spoil rich kids, bandits, and real experts act arrogant most of the time. There are exceptions, like idiots that think they are experts and real experts that are humble.

Most people don't go around making antagonizing people left and right like what is shown. An example is this guard, although he was warning Jun, he seems more like a police telling people to stay away from a restricted area than a guy that is full of himself.

"My name is Long Jian, I heard that the City Lord's wife has fallen sick so I come here to offer my expertise," I told the guard.

"You're a Doctor?" the guard ask not believing. Some people probably used this chance to try to get closer or take advantage of the City Lord so it isn't a surprise that the guard didn't believe an unknown person saying that they are a doctor.

"No, but I'm an Alchemy Master. As an Alchemist, I believe that there is nothing Alchemy can't solve and the art of making medicine is part of Alchemy." Jun

The guard thinks for a while before replying, "Wait here, I'll see if the City Lord is willing to see you." After saying that the guard leaves through a door by the gate.

I ask the other guard why there is a door when there is a gate. The answer is that the gate is only there to welcome a large group or important people. Everyone else like the City Lord's family or the Guards uses the door to get in.

After waiting for a while, the gate opens up and a two purple hair middle age man along with the guard comes back. One of the men has a thick long beard with long hair while the other one has a shaved face with shorter hair in a ponytail. The ponytail hair guy should be Ye Zong, the City Lord while the other person should be his brother judging by the way they act.

To make sure that the City Lord doesn't think of me as a random person trying to gain favor, I let a bit of my soul force 'slip.' It'll make them think that I'm a 1-star legend rank expert. Sigh* the joy of having perfect control over your soul force. You can make it seem like you are at any level you want. Of course, you can't make it look higher than it actually is but it's nice to use it to fool people.

"You must be Master Long, can you really cure my wife?" Ye Zong asks with hope in his eyes.

It seems his wife falling sick hits him harder than I thought. Otherwise, I don't believe the City Lord will look this disparate. Or he might just be an idiot. After all, Shen Hong has been trying to ruin him for a long time and he still didn't notice. He even went as far as to engage his daughter to Shen Hong's son.

"You must be Lord Ye," I said making a small bow. "I won't say I can cure her for certain without checking first but I believe in the saying, there are no illness in the world that could not be treated and even if there was, it would only mean that the method to cure it had still yet to be found."

'Hehe! Totally stole that line from Against the Gods' I thought to myself.

Ye Zong eyes brighten a bit more. "My wife is this way, I'll trouble Master Long to follow me." Ye Zong said before leading the way with his brother. The guard went back to his post and close the gate behind us after we left.

After walking for more than 10 minutes, we finally reach the place where his wife is. 'God, why do rich people have to make their house so big.' I complain in my mind.

"We're here." Ye Zong said opening the door. Inside I can see a pale but beautiful woman sleeping peacefully. If I didn't know she was sick, I'll have ȧssumed that she is just sleeping.

After taking a look over her and not finding anything, I sit next to the bed and ask "May I?" to ye Zong. Don't want to just touch a lady without her husband permission.

"Go ahead." Ye Zong

Getting Ye Zong confirmation, I pretend to take her pulse. In reality, I'm using the Library of Heaven's Path to find out what is wrong with her. I think 'Flaws' and a book on Ye Zong's wife compile in front of me.
