(True Body POV)
By the time morning come I finally master the advance inscription. Maybe I should create more True Bodies, it'll make the training go a lot faster after all. As I step outside I run into the maid, Chu.
"Ah, Master Long. Madam Li just woke up. Lord Ye is requested for you to meet them." Chu
"Hm. Lead the way." Following the maid, I made my way to Li Xiulan room again.
Rich families really need to stop making their houses so big. If a normal person lives here, they'll probably get lost 9 out of 10 times. Walking around this big house gives me the same feeling as walking around a mall for the first time except without all the shops. If you don't pay attention you'll get lost.
As I stop outside the room, I can see Ye Zong taking care of his wife. Though it looks more like he's pestering her. Next to Li Xiulan is a purple hair little girl clinging to her. She looks to be about 3-4 years old.
"It's good to see you doing well Madam Li. Lord Ye if you don't mind, I'll like to take a look at Madam Li."
"Ah. Master Long, I didn't notice you here. Please come in." Ye Zong said looking a little embarrassed.
"Lan'er this is Master Long. The one that cured you." Ye Zong introduces me.
"I see… Thank you for helping me cure my illness Master Long." Li Xiulan
Hear her say illness make me look at Ye Zong. I can see him making an awkward smile and shake his head a little. He looks like didn't want his wife to know that she been poison if she didn't already.
"You're welcome. I have a couple of things to do today, so we'll have to make this quick."

"Of course. Come on Yun'er." Ye Zong tries to make the little girl follow him. She should be Ye Ziyun, the girl that Nie Li has an unhealthy amount of obsession over.
Seeing that Ye Ziyun doesn't want to leave her mom I told them "It's alright, it's just a checkup. She can stay if she wants." Hearing that she can stay, Ye Ziyun quickly runs back to her mom.
"Now then. Can I see you hand Madam." Taking her hand, I pretend to measure her pulse again. Knowing that I can't compile a book on her if she is awake, I try an idea I have since I arrive here.
Inserting a small string of soul force, I make it seem as if the soul force is an invasion. This trigger the body's natural defense making Li Xiulan's soul force try to force mine out. Taking this chance, I compile a book on her. Everyone else didn't notice a thing and Li Xiulan will probably think it's part of the checkup. Going over the book I notice an interesting flaw.
[Flaw 12: Due to an excessive amount of soul force in the body, the body will deteriorate over time due to not being able to handle the amount.]
I guess even after splitting up the effect of the pill into two, the weaker pill is still too strong for a person at Gold rank. It's not like this is a bad thing for her anyway.
Letting go of her wrist I tell them "Everything is going well. You should be able to make a full recovery in a day or two." Everyone sigh in relief at that. "But there is still an issue you should know about." They tense up again hearing that there's an issue.
Looking at their worry face I couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, you don't have to be that worry. It's not a bad thing. In fact, it can be considered a good thing." I turn my attention to Li Xiulan.

"Due to the medicine that you took, there is a high amount of soul force in your body. If you do nothing about it, it can lead to a few health problems but if you take this chance to absorb the soul force. You might even be able to break into Black Gold rank."
Everyone is surprised when I mention black gold rank. During this time period, not many people can go past gold rank. In fact, most people can't even get past silver rank.
"Really?" Ye Zong asks with a hint of doubt.
"Of course. Here" I hand a pill bottle containing the other pill to Ye Zong. "This is a pill made from the leftover of the first pill and excess ingredients. Similar to the Misty Leaf Herb, it helps gather soul force and can be used to help you break through to Legend Rank."
"What!? I can't accept this. You already help cure my wife and I haven't even repaid you yet." Ye Zong
"What are you talking about? This pill was made using your resource so it's your pill." I throw him the pill. Ye Zong caught the bottle and stare at it.
"Ye Zong thank Master Long for his kindness." Ye Zong said seriously. I can practically feel gratitude from his words. I wonder how he'll feel if I mention that the pill is at most consider a snack to me.
"Is there anything Master Long needs?" Ye Zong
"I don't… Yes actually. I plan to settle down in Glory City. Do you know a place where there is a big open space and have an alchemy lab?"
"Settle down?" Ye Zong
"Oh right, I haven't told you yet. I'm from outside the city, I been traveling ever since a demon beast horde destroyed the little settlement where I live. Now that I finally found another city with humans, I plan to settle down here."
Ye Zong nodded "Of course, I'll have my men find you a suitable place to stay. In the meantime, why don't you stay here."
"I'll trouble Lord Ye than."
"No trouble at all. You help me more than enough. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask." Ye Zong
"Hm. I'll leave you and your wife be than. I want to look around the city I'll be staying in."
"Alright, I'll have a guard escort you around." Ye Zong
"Hm." I nodded. I spend the rest of that day exploring the city. Being an orphan, I don't have many chances to go out and I mostly been focused on training so this is the first time I see Glory City in all of its… well, glory.
During that time, I make sure to 'accidentally' meet my original body. Pretend to be an old man meeting a nice kid. Talk for a bit with myself, which I can say is really awkward. By the end of the conversation, we 'realize' that we haven't introduced ourselves yet so I introduce myself as Long Jian and my original body Long Jun.
I said some bullshit about fate and ask the 'kid' if he wants to be my student. Of course, I won't turn myself down and accept it. Now, I'm currently heading back to the City Lord's palace with my original body.

In his first life, he was a young spartan warrior that was killed for being too weak. In his second life, he was a young squire in the courts of Camelot that was tragically killed when his master lost control of his horse, and it kicked him in the head. In his third life, he was a child soldier in Africa that managed to escort a group of children to safety before he was shot in the head by their now ex-captors. And in his fourth life, he spent his entire life in a hospital bed being treated for a currently incurable auto-immune disease. ... But, that's when things changed. He was suddenly brought before an all-powerful being and given yet another go at life... Let's hope things are different this time.

8 225Memoirs of an old traveler:First Rebirth
If life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Life sometimes gives you handouts and sometimes not, how would you take control of your life or would you let yourself be adrift on the sea. This is my story of rebirth, the start of a journey between the worlds. Will you take heart from the lessons I have learned or will you take without giving and continue the cycle? ___________________________________ A story with my take on reincarnation, expect somewhat of a more serious writing style but still a bit casual. I like to story build, to craft a universe, so don't expect quick action. Can be a bit of a heavy info read at times so if you don't like that best steer away. Chapters are expected to be at least 1 a week perhaps 2 a week depending on response and how much of an inspiration I get. Credits to multiple authors(too many to count/remember) of both web/light novels and the authors here on RRL for inspiration.
