Invincible starts with predatory terms

Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er understood something and bowed to Yang Fan, their eyes full of admiration.

This battle made them more determined in their belief to cultivate with their master.

For Yang Fan, this was also another verification of his disciples' growth and choices—the road ahead was still very long, but incomparably bright.

The night was as dark as ink, permeating the entire city. Yang Fan walked out of the alchemy master's residence with a hint of vigilance, his two disciples closely following beside him.

They didn't dare to linger too long on such a night, but the curiosity on their faces couldn't be concealed. The three of them returned to the inn smoothly, the room's light softly spilling down, dispelling the day's fatigue.

Yang Fan sat down, signaling for his two disciples to find a place to sit as well, and began to talk about the details of his meeting with the alchemy master.

Yang Fan smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom that saw through everything: "He is a well-known alchemy master in this area, with a very good reputation, but his real purpose is not on the surface. He wants to explore my background, especially the Heavenly Fate Plunder System that I control."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the invitation to the Alchemy Competition? Is he planning to take the opportunity to spy on your strength?"

"That's right. He seems to want to learn more through that competition," Yang Fan nodded, "But I have already grasped his intentions, so naturally, I won't let him succeed."

At this moment, Li Ling'er blinked her eyes, her face full of curiosity: "So, are we going to participate in that competition?"

Yang Fan looked up at his two beloved disciples, each with their own thoughts, and said in a firm tone: "Of course. Since we have come here, this trip cannot be in vain. But remember, what we show is only the surface, the real trump card will always be kept until the end."

Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er looked at each other and nodded. Yang Fan's decisions always convinced them.

"Then Master," Li Changsheng suddenly thought of another matter, "Regarding the various speculations in the city about your meeting with the alchemy master, do we need to do anything?"

"No need to pay attention to the rumors," Yang Fan said in a relaxed tone, as if those discussions were just dust passing by the roadside, "A true strong person never fears external interference, we only need to do our own thing well."

The night was deep and quiet, the sound of the wind outside the window gently blending into the room, as if murmuring some unknown prophecy.

The shadows of the three people intertwined again under the light, echoing Yang Fan's calm and confident words.

This was not only their confidence in facing all future challenges but also the close bond between the three of them. As long as they moved forward together, they would have nothing to fear.

The next day, before the morning mist had dissipated, Yang Fan had already brought Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er to the alchemy room. Yang Fan pointed to the alchemy furnace on the side and said, "Refining this new type of pill requires great patience and meticulousness, especially since it will now take a full seven days."

Li Ling'er frowned slightly, and asked with some worry: "Then, is City Lord Nangong Hao's life not in danger for the time being?"

Yang Fan smiled: "Don't worry, I have prepared a special method for him that can temporarily greatly slow down the rate of his life's passing. He is a good person, we cannot stand idly by."

Li Changsheng nodded and said with emotion: "Master, you always have a way."

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and shadows flickered on the paper window, as if something unusual had happened.

Li Ling'er immediately jumped up, "It seems like there's trouble."

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and it was a nearby cultivator, with a worried look on his face: "Mr. Yang Fan, last night some people took advantage of your absence and tried to enter your residence."

Li Changsheng immediately clenched his fists, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, he could never tolerate such things happening.

But Yang Fan just nodded slightly, his eyes firm: "Fortunately, Li Changsheng and Ling'er are here, they will definitely be able to protect this place well."

The cultivator nodded in agreement: "Indeed, they performed very bravely. Mr. Yang, should we take some stronger protective measures?"

Yang Fan stared out the window, seemingly thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his mouth: "It seems we need to take stronger protective measures. Changsheng, Ling'er, I'll need you two to work hard during this period and be extra careful."

Li Changsheng and Li Ling'er responded at the same time, their faces full of unwavering determination.

At the same time, a rumor came from afar: a mysterious ferocious beast is appearing nearby, and many cultivators have set out to explore.

Li Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she asked Yang Fan: "Master, about that ferocious beast, should we go take a look?"

Yang Fan did not answer directly, but instead asked Li Changsheng: "Changsheng, what do you think?" Li Changsheng frowned, thought for a moment, "Master, if this ferocious beast really appears, perhaps we can learn some ancient secret techniques through it."
