Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

After the three-eyed crow burrowed into the woman's abdomen, it emerged directly from her back, bringing with it a large amount of blood and flesh. The female cultivator died on the spot, her body falling downwards.

But the two three-eyed crows were clearly not going to give up, and continued to frantically peck and tear at the corpse.

This scene was shocking to Lu Fan!

He never expected that the three-eyed raven, which had just advanced to the second tier, would be so ferocious!

"Such insidious methods! You are definitely not a righteous cultivator!" The pale-faced scholar in the distance was clearly frightened as well.

After all, what righteous cultivator would act so ruthlessly!

Lu Fan didn't respond, but immediately shouted, "Come back!"

However, Lu Fan's shouts did not stop the Three-Eyed Crow from tearing at the female cultivator's corpse.

Seeing that the three-eyed crow was out of control, Lu Fan's expression darkened, and he immediately activated the Divine Soul Imprint.

The two three-eyed crows were hatched from Lu Fan's true essence, so they were already bound to his soul.

Under Lu Fan's forceful control, the two three-eyed crows reluctantly flew back and crawled into the spirit beast pouch.

This also served as a stark reminder to Lu Fan that this three-eyed crow was no ordinary demonic beast!

If it grows stronger in the future, and its third eye opens, it will probably be even more ruthless!

This made Lu Fan wary. It seemed that he had to find out the origin of this three-eyed crow if he had the chance.

"Who exactly are you?!" The pale-faced scholar was already filled with fear, after all, the combat power that Lu Fan had shown did not seem to be that of an ordinary rogue cultivator.

"Since you've already guessed it, why ask again?" Lu Fan said, holding the Tungsten Heart Sword.

"A demonic cultivator!" The pale-faced scholar didn't associate Lu Fan with evil cultivators, but directly judged him to be a demonic cultivator.

After all, Lu Fan's Illusionary Demon Finger had just used was filled with overwhelming demonic energy, and coupled with these two extremely ferocious crow spirit beasts, it was clear that this was no ordinary evil cultivator, but rather a demonic cultivator.

After weighing his options, the pale-faced scholar, knowing he couldn't defeat Lu Fan, simply took out a Cloud-Soaring Talisman, stuck it on his body, and tried to slip away.

Once Lu Fan realized what was happening, he knew he couldn't let the other party escape, so he immediately activated his Wind Feather Wings to give chase.

Seeing that Lu Fan's speed was even faster than his speed with the Cloud-Piercing Talisman, the pale-faced scholar became anxious and immediately took out his flute and started playing.

In an instant, specks of spiritual light, transformed from musical notes, drifted toward Lu Fan.

Upon hearing the flute music, Lu Fan felt a wave of dizziness, clearly indicating that the flute music seemed to have the power to strike directly at the soul.

However, this pale-faced scholar was clearly not proficient in using this secret technique. Although he could influence others, he could not achieve hard control.

Moreover, Lu Fan's divine sense was already quite remarkable, so how could he be stopped by a flute melody? He immediately activated his Wind Feather Wings with all his might and chased after it.

"He's actually not afraid of my Azure Wave Soul-Locking Curse! This guy!" Seeing that the flute's sound was ineffective, the pale-faced scholar immediately formed a hand seal, summoned a drop of true essence to attach to the flying sword beneath his feet, and sped away at high speed.

Lu Fan frowned. If he let the other party escape like this, and they gathered a group of righteous cultivators to attack him, it would be troublesome.

Then Lu Fan raised his hand and waved it, and the Radiant Box flew out from above his head, bursting forth with seven-colored light.

No matter how fast this pale-faced scholar is, he can't outrun light.

"Another top-grade magic artifact!" The pale-faced scholar panicked when he saw the brilliant glow behind him.

The next moment, the rays of light pierced his back like countless poisonous needles. The intense pain jolted the pale-faced scholar, affecting his speed.

"Fellow Daoist!" The pale-faced scholar felt a chill run down his spine and immediately called out.

But what responded to him was Lu Fan's fleeting sword light...

Pfft...

The pale-faced scholar felt a chill on his neck, then the world spun around him as his head fell downwards.

After killing the pale-faced scholar, Lu Fan raised his hand to recall the top-grade magic weapon, then took the storage bags of the three people before returning to the great formation.

He casually tossed three storage bags onto the stone platform, immediately took out a few spirit stones, and sat cross-legged to begin regulating his breathing and restoring his spiritual power.

Although he was not injured in these two fierce battles, the consumption of spiritual energy was considerable. He could only hurry up and recover in order to prevent other cultivators from causing trouble later.

At this moment, Ye Lingxi was also desperately absorbing spiritual energy, accumulating sufficient spiritual power for the final formation of her core.

But the commotion caused by this is getting bigger and bigger.

Lu Fan naturally became even more vigilant.

And just like that, six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Although two or three groups of Foundation Establishment cultivators came to cause trouble during this period, they were all rogue cultivators in the early or middle stages of Foundation Establishment, and were easily killed by Lu Fan.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators, upon seeing the corpses scattered on the ground and the dozen or so storage bags on the stone table in the pavilion, realized that this protector was not to be trifled with, and turned and ran away.

Lu Fan placing the storage bag in such a conspicuous place did indeed have a deterrent effect.

However, this is also because there really wasn't much treasure in those dozen or so storage bags.

The best he found were only a few mid-grade magic artifacts, two Golden Marrow Pills and a high-grade Golden Ring from the white-faced cultivator's storage bag, and a map that Lu Fan couldn't understand, so he wasn't in a hurry to loot.

"A year has passed, Fellow Daoist Ye, you should hurry up and form your core," Lu Fan muttered, gazing at the cave dwelling in the distance where the spiritual energy was surging more and more violently.

For now, those causing trouble are mostly Foundation Establishment or Pseudo-Core Formation cultivators, which he can easily handle. But if he's unlucky enough to encounter a passing Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, the risk will be much greater.

Therefore, Lu Fan still hoped that Ye Lingxi could complete the Core Formation as soon as possible so that she could leave this place.

call out...

Just as Lu Fan was pondering, a sound transmission talisman suddenly floated from the distant horizon and hovered outside the great formation.

"A sound transmission talisman?" Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. Then, a crack appeared in the formation, and the sound transmission talisman immediately flew to Lu Fan.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I am Chimei. I emerged from seclusion yesterday. The Six Jia Thunder Formation you gave me has made progress. If you have time, let's go to the island in the middle of the lake to discuss it in detail."

The communication talisman instantly turned to ashes.

"The Crimson-Eyebrowed Immortal has actually emerged from seclusion? But he's been in seclusion for two years now, could it be that he's reached the Core Formation stage?" Lu Fan wondered to himself.

However, he cannot leave now. If Chi Mei really reaches the Core Formation stage, he can invite him to help protect him.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Fan took out a communication talisman and said, "True Master Red Eyebrows, I am protecting a friend in Little Spirit Valley and cannot leave. I would be grateful if you could come in person."

After saying that, Lu Fan threw out the communication talisman. The reason he didn't hide the matter of protecting the Dao was to show his sincerity.

If Chi Mei knew that Lu Fan was protecting someone else and still came, then he could rightfully ask Chi Mei to stay for a year.

If he were not honest, and Chi Mei had come all this way only to find Lu Fan protecting others in a dangerous situation, it would make him seem dishonest.

Several days after sending out the communication talisman, Lu Fan still hadn't seen Chi Mei arrive.

"It seems that Master Chi Mei doesn't want to get into trouble either. Well, let's wait until the protection is over before going to find him," Lu Fan said, not exactly disappointed.

After all, protecting others is not a good job, so it's understandable that Red Eyebrows doesn't want to put himself in danger.

However, Lu Fan underestimated Chi Mei. On the fifth day, a figure flew rapidly from afar, and it was Chi Mei!
