Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

The warm breeze carrying a fragrance made Lu Fan's ears turn red and his blood surge. Sure enough, he knew this vixen wouldn't let him off so easily!

Since learning his lesson from Luo Yan, Lu Fan is no longer so trusting of others. Although Ku Rong said that if Su Meier wanted to replenish his essence, she could use the Cloud-Entangling Wind-Controlling Technique to do so.

But he didn't know if the Cloud-Entwining Phoenix Technique would work. What if the demoness discovered his secret and killed him in a fit of rage?

If he does nothing and lets this demoness 'ravage' him, will she become addicted and 'harvest' him to death?

"Uncle Su! This is absolutely unacceptable! My cultivation is too low to withstand this!" Lu Fan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly retreated.

"Don't worry, you are that old ghost's personally accepted disciple, how could I harm you? Just let me do some tonifying to relieve my torment of desire~" As Su Meier spoke, her slender, lotus-root-like arms had already wrapped around Lu Fan's neck.

To cooperate or not to cooperate? This is a critical question!

However, just as Lu Fan was pondering how to get rid of this enchantress, the next moment, he no longer needed to think, because he realized he had already fallen into her trap...

He felt a wave of dizziness, his blood rushing to his head, and his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

Lu Fan didn't even know when Su Meier activated her Thousand Charms Technique...

It must have been the fragrance she exhaled when she was close to me just now...

Then Su Meier began to boldly make her own moves, but this initial attempt immediately caused her expression to change drastically: "You...you haven't even had sexual relations yet?"

"Hehe~ I've encountered an extraordinary opportunity! This virgin body is enough for me to drain the essence of ten or eight men!"

At this moment, Lu Fan was somewhat confused and completely unable to calm down. He instinctively felt that Su Meier in front of him was so charming that all his caution and life-threatening situations were so vulnerable in the face of her gentle and persuasive nature.

Lu Fan immediately turned the tables, like a tiger hunting its prey, and captured Su Meier on the spot!

"Hehe~ What's the rush? I'm yours, all of me are yours," Su Meier said with a light, bell-like laugh, clearly overjoyed.

It was unclear how long this lasted, but Lu Fan felt that most of his vital energy had flowed into Su Meier's body. At that moment, Lu Fan subconsciously activated the Entangling Clouds and Controlling Phoenix Technique.

In this way, the half of the original vital energy that was lost was converted into Su Meier's primordial yin spirit and returned without anyone noticing.

It's even purer than Lu Fan himself!

It seems that Ku Rong was not lying to him. This Cloud-Entwining Phoenix Technique is indeed extremely domineering. Not only can Su Meier not detect it, but it is even slightly better than her Thousand Charming Technique.

With the powerful assistance of Su Meier's Core Formation stage primordial yin energy, Lu Fan, without taking any pills, already showed signs of breaking through to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Fan could break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage on the spot if he wanted to!

But Lu Fan's gradually clearing reason told him that he absolutely could not break through at this moment, otherwise Su Meier would notice that he was reversing his cultivation and would definitely drain him even more!

Before they knew it, it was already broad daylight outside. After a night of fierce fighting, Su Meier seemed to have benefited greatly.

In reality, Lu Fan was the one who benefited the most.

But at this moment, Lu Fan still pretended to be completely drained, lying on the ground.

After dressing, Su Meier looked at him with endless tenderness in her eyes and said, "Not bad. Among the dozen or so people I've been using to replenish my energy recently, you're the strongest. Take these two Rejuvenation Pills to nourish your body."

"I need to go into seclusion and refine it properly; I can't waste your virginity."

With that, Su Meier tossed two second-grade pills to Lu Fan's side, then smiled and gracefully walked away.

This looks exactly like a heartless passerby who, after a night of wind and rain, leaves behind some silver and walks away.

Once he was sure Su Meier had left and gone far away, Lu Fan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, smiled subtly, then dressed and quickly sat cross-legged.

The primordial yin energy plundered from Su Meier, a Core Formation cultivator, was all returned to her dantian.

In an instant, Lu Fan's spiritual energy surged, and the aura of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator spread outwards in all directions.

No wonder Ku Rong is so fond of absorbing spiritual energy; it is indeed a shortcut to quickly improve one's cultivation level.

After a brief burst of spiritual energy, Lu Fan forcibly suppressed it to prevent it from being exposed.

But a new problem arose: as soon as he broke through, a ball of demonic energy re-emerged in his dantian!

This is even more significant than his last breakthrough in demonic energy!

Helpless, Lu Fan could only use his spiritual energy to suppress and dissolve it.

This is the drawback of demonic arts: although a breakthrough is achieved, a lot of time is spent eliminating the aftereffects of a rapid breakthrough.

Currently, the demonic energy generated by breaking through to a minor realm can still be barely suppressed.

However, if he goes into seclusion to form his core, the demonic energy generated after breaking through to the core stage will likely be even more terrifying, and he might suffer a qi deviation on the spot.

This made Lu Fan wonder if the old master who cultivated this technique was able to pass away with the help of the Heaven-Mending Furnace because he had gone into a state of demonic possession.

"It seems that it will take at least a year and a half to completely refine this demonic energy," Lu Fan said helplessly. It seems that for the next period of time, he can only focus on refining the demonic energy and stabilizing his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Just as Lu Fan was pondering, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Junior Brother Lu, are you alright?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Fan hurriedly got up and found that it was Ku Rong who rushed in.

"Senior Brother Kurong," Lu Fan stood up and bowed.

"Huh? You've broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage?" Seeing Lu Fan's current cultivation level, Ku Rong burst into laughter: "Haha! It seems Junior Brother Lu has successfully seized Su Meier's primordial yin using the method I taught him!"

"The Cloud-Entwining Phoenix Control Technique taught by my senior brother is indeed powerful, helping me break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop," Lu Fan said with a smile.

"I was wondering why Su Meier suddenly announced today that she was going into seclusion to break through to the mid-stage of Core Formation. But I knew right away that she must have been eager to use your essence."

"I was worried she'd drain you dry, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Ku Rong laughed.

Lu Fan smiled slightly, then seemed to think of something, his expression turning slightly sad as he said, "Although I've managed to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage by luck, I'm afraid I'll only ever reach the Pseudo-Core stage in my lifetime, with no hope of forming a Core."

"What? Is Junior Brother Lu's spiritual root very poor?" Ku Rong asked.

Ku Rong was unaware that Lu Fan possessed a mutated mixed spiritual root, and Lu Fan naturally wouldn't reveal this to Ku Rong casually. Instead, he shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of spiritual root. It's just that ordinary cultivators, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, will search for Core Formation materials. I haven't even gathered one or two yet. The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is limited, and I also lost a lot of true essence back then. My lifespan is not much left, and I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Upon hearing this, Ku Rong patted Lu Fan on the shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Lu, there's no need to worry. We evil cultivators are not afraid of lacking Golden Marrow Pills. When we have time, your senior brother will take you to kill a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators. We'll eventually encounter someone carrying Golden Marrow Pills."

"What I'm worried about isn't the Golden Marrow Pill, but the Dew of Creation," Lu Fan said, shaking his head as he followed Ku Rong's words.
