Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

At this moment, Ye Lingxi was also shocked by Lu Fan's spiritual root. After all, she had never known that Lu Fan had a mixed spiritual root, nor had she asked. She thought that he was like her, with two or three spiritual roots.

But Ye Lingxi quickly realized that Lu Fan's ability to establish his foundation with mixed spiritual roots meant he must have some kind of good fortune. If he were to be targeted by those three old monsters, it would be a huge problem.

Therefore, Ye Lingxi cupped her hands and said, "Three seniors, this is my cultivation partner. Her talent is somewhat lacking, and I'm afraid she can only stop at the Foundation Establishment stage."

When Ye Lingxi said this, Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that this was a story that Ye Lingxi had specially made up to protect him.

As expected, upon hearing this, Shi Fengtian's eyes showed a hint of regret: "You, with dual spiritual roots, are choosing a mixed spiritual root as your dual cultivation partner? Wouldn't all your hard work in cultivation be wasted on him?"

Lu Fan's ability to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage now seems to have a legitimate reason: it was achieved through dual cultivation and nutrient extraction with Ye Lingxi.

"It's a pity. If you hadn't been drained of your essence by him, you might have reached the mid-stage of Core Formation by now," Madam Luan shook her head repeatedly.

Ye Lingxi quickly said, "Brother Lu saved my life, I can't abandon him just because his spiritual root is not good."

"You young man are quite loyal and righteous, which suits my taste. Join my Thousand Shadows Sect and I will take you as my disciple. I will never treat you unfairly," Shi Fengtian said.

Having been invited twice by a Nascent Soul ancestor, Ye Lingxi knew she couldn't refuse. Fortunately, the Thousand Shadows Sect was a righteous sect, and joining it would not only not restrict her but would also provide her with a lot of cultivation resources.

Furthermore, if they refused, they risked incurring the wrath of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, and neither she nor Lu Fan would survive.

After careful consideration, Ye Lingxi finally agreed, saying, "It is a rare opportunity for me to be accepted as a disciple by Senior. I am willing to join the Thousand Shadows Sect!"

"Hahaha! That's right, that's it!" Shi Fengtian burst into laughter.

Jingchuan and Madam Luan, standing to the side, looked displeased, but there was nothing they could do; they couldn't very well try to take the person away again.

Although Ye Lingxi agreed, she naturally had to play her part completely, so she said, "Senior, could you let my brother Lu join the Thousand Shadows Sect as well?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Fengtian glanced coldly at Lu Fan and said, "My Thousand Shadows Sect does not accept mixed spiritual roots. Besides, since you have acknowledged me as your master, you must listen to my arrangements. From now on, focus on your cultivation and don't let sentimentality hold you back."

After accepting Ye Lingxi as his disciple, Shi Fengtian's first priority was naturally to get rid of Lu Fan, this burden, and to prevent him from getting entangled with Ye Lingxi, lest he delay Ye Lingxi's cultivation speed.

"Yes..." Ye Lingxi replied with feigned difficulty, which finally managed to fool them. Anyway, she wasn't really Lu Fan's cultivation partner, so it didn't affect their relationship at all.

Lu Fan kept his head down and remained silent, looking exactly like a helpless husband whose wife had been taken away...

After accepting Ye Lingxi as his disciple, Shi Fengtian looked at Jing Chuan and Madam Luan and said, "Madam Luan, Fellow Daoist Jing, why don't you two consider this junior? After all, she is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Madam Luan was the first to become displeased. Her face fell, and she said, "What do you mean? You're throwing your trash at me? My Wangyue Sect hasn't fallen so low that it needs to collect mixed spiritual roots."

Despite being called trash, Lu Fan kept his head down, seemingly not caring much. After all, he had been called a cripple in the Dao Sect for decades, so why should he care about what others said?

With the Heaven-Mending Furnace in hand, forming the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation is only a matter of time. When he truly reaches that stage, he will prove them wrong.

"Hehe, since Madam Luan doesn't want it, then Fellow Daoist Jing can take it. After all, for your Xuan Yang Sword Sect, one more Foundation Establishment cultivator won't make a difference, and one less won't make a difference either," Shi Fengtian said with a hint of sarcasm.

That's absolutely right. A sect that can't even cultivate Core Formation cultivators is bound to have a lot of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, Lu Fan felt quite helpless watching himself being kicked around like a rotten ball by several Nascent Soul experts. He just wanted them to leave with Ye Lingxi as soon as possible so that he could return to the Blood Spirit Sect.

However, just as Lu Fan thought Jing Chuan would use the same words to belittle him, Jing Chuan spoke up instead: "Hmph! I am not like you, confined to your narrow-minded views, who enjoy looking down on others to show off their own superiority."

Jing Chuan retorted with his words, then took out a small sword token from his storage bag, tossed it to Lu Fan, and said, "Young man, I think that you have achieved the late stage of Foundation Establishment with mixed spiritual roots and have good fortune. If you really have nowhere to go, take this token and join my Xuan Yang Sword Sect. Although I cannot guarantee that you will form your core, my Xuan Yang Sword Sect is enough to protect you from humiliation and allow you to focus on your cultivation."

Lu Fan was also incredulous when he saw the token that Jing Chuan had thrown at him.

Although Jing Chuan's decision to take him in was partly out of spite, since he didn't say he would take him away directly, but only told Lu Fan to go by himself.

Even so, Jingchuan was still much kinder than Shi Fengtian and Madam Luan.

However, Lu Fan would not actually join the Xuan Yang Sword Sect. He didn't want to be killed by the Xuan Yang Sword Sect's curse after he had reached the Core Formation stage.

But since the other party had given him the token, Lu Fan still pretended to be grateful and bowed in thanks: "Thank you for your high regard, senior!"

Seeing that Jing Chuan was truly going to take Lu Fan in, Shi Fengtian burst into laughter: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Jing, you have such a genuine character! I admire you!"

Madam Luan also mocked, "Fellow Daoist Jing, having more Foundation Establishment cultivators isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe in a hundred or several hundred years, you'll actually be able to cultivate a Core Formation cultivator."

Mocking him again, Jingchuan was visibly angered and said, "At your age, you still find pleasure in belittling others? I disdain associating with you. Farewell!"

As soon as Jingchuan finished speaking, he transformed into a red streak of light, as bright as the sun, and instantly disappeared into the distance without a trace.

"Old Jing's temper is really getting worse and worse," Madam Luan said with a smile.

"Those old guys from the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, how many more years do they have left to live? Anyone else would probably be less composed," Shi Fengtian chuckled, then looked at Ye Lingxi and said, "My good disciple, let's go."

Ye Lingxi nodded, then looked at Lu Fan: "Brother Lu, take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry about me. With the help of a Nascent Soul senior, you'll definitely go even further!" Lu Fan said, feigning extreme reluctance.

Ye Lingxi then leaped onto the flying boat, and Shi Fengtian did not hesitate at all, directly urging the flying boat to transform into a long rainbow and rush towards the direction of Feng Kingdom.

Joining the Thousand Shadows Sect is a great opportunity for Ye Lingxi, and she will definitely be given special training.

This is also a good thing for Lu Fan. If he forms his core next time, Ye Lingxi will come to help him as a member of the sect, and the effect will be completely different.

"Those old monsters are finally gone. It seems I can't stay here any longer," Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly released his flying sword, heading straight for the Blood Spirit Sect.

He has been away from the Blood Spirit Sect for two years. He wonders if that vixen Su Meier has come out of seclusion yet. If she does come out and finds that her improvement is not significant, will she become suspicious and discover that some of her primordial yin has been taken away?

Lu Fan was also somewhat worried. It seemed that the search for the Dew of Creation could not be delayed any longer. This time, upon returning to the Blood Spirit Sect, he had to find the Dew of Creation as soon as possible and leave that place of trouble.
