Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Upon hearing Lu Fan mention Xuan Yang, the beautiful woman's expression twisted in anger, and she instantly flew into a rage: "How dare you mention him in front of me! You're asking for death!"

Lu Fan hadn't expected that his words would cause this beautiful woman to lose control of her emotions on the spot. It seemed that his guess was correct; the other party was Xuan Yin, whose bones and soul had been extracted and refined by Xuan Yang ten thousand years ago.

But if the other party has already undergone soul refinement, why is he not dead? Could it be that he used some strange supernatural power to separate a wisp of his soul and have survived until now?

Xuan Yin was enveloped in a thick white mist, clearly enraged, and was about to rush towards Lu Fan and kill him!

At this critical juncture, why should Lu Fan continue to form his core? The best course of action is to stop forming the core and run away immediately!

Just as Lu Fan changed his hand seals, preparing to exit the Core Formation stage...

"quack!"

The two three-eyed crows that had been dozing on the stone wall behind Lu Fan suddenly became alert and let out urgent cries.

Then, without Lu Fan's intervention, the two three-eyed crows rushed out and pounced towards the Xuan Yin.

This sudden turn of events left Lu Fan completely shocked.

Xuan Yin originally intended to kill Lu Fan directly, but the two three-eyed crows cornered her by scrambling and pecking at her.

"Get out of my way!" Xuan Yin's entire body immediately erupted with white mist, attempting to freeze the three-eyed crow.

But the Three-Eyed Raven became even more excited after coming into contact with the white mist, and even began to greedily absorb it!

It even weakened Xuan Yin's soul, especially the white dress formed from soul power, which was almost completely drained by the three-eyed crow, exposing Xuan Yin's white figure to Lu Fan.

"The Three-Eyed Raven!" Xuan Yin clearly recognized the raven's origin and was so frightened that he instantly became ethereal and hid.

Seeing that Xuan Yin had disappeared, the three-eyed crow continued to circle inside the cave, pouncing on and attacking Xuan Yin whenever it showed any sign of showing itself.

This completely deprived Xuan Yin of any chance to make a move.

"The Three-Eyed Raven actually worked on it?" Lu Fan hadn't expected this outcome.

"The Three-Eyed Raven is a creature of the underworld. Where did you get it from?" Although Xuan Yin could not show his face, he could still speak from underground.

Upon hearing the words "underworld," Lu Fan was also shocked. He knew from the beginning that the Three-Eyed Raven was no ordinary spirit beast, but he never expected it to be from the underworld!

No wonder he could revive after being killed.

Now that he knew the Xuan Yin feared the Three-Eyed Crow, Lu Fan had nothing to worry about and said, "Ancestor Xuan Yin, can we now calm down and talk?"

To show his sincerity, Lu Fan summoned the three-eyed crows back with a thought, and they landed on his shoulders, one on each side.

Seeing that the three-eyed crow was no longer a threat, Xuan Yin emerged from the ground and solidified again: "We have nothing to talk about!"

At this moment, Lu Fan was also quite helpless. He didn't want to talk. Although Xuan Yin was afraid of the Three-Eyed Crow and dared not attack him again, he had no way to kill Xuan Yin.

If this stalemate continues, he will not be able to focus on forming his core.

"Ancestor Xuan Yin, I know you have a grudge against Ancestor Xuan Yang, but that was ten thousand years ago. Ancestor Xuan Yang has probably reincarnated hundreds or thousands of times already. What deep-seated hatred do you still have that you can't let go of?" Lu Fan said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin instantly flew into a rage, his refined face contorting into a ferocious expression: "What other deep-seated hatred could there be? That heartless man killed me, extracted my bones and refined my soul! He also slaughtered over a thousand of my disciples!"

"If I hadn't used a secret technique to separate a wisp of my soul and slumber for ten thousand years, I would have been annihilated long ago! Even if I am just a wisp of soul, I will still take my revenge! I will ensure the Xuan Yang Sword Sect is wiped out!"

Xuan Yin became more and more excited as he spoke, and white mist spread around him, as if he would not stop until he completely destroyed the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.

"quack!"

The three-eyed raven on Lu Fan's shoulder, seeing that Xuan Yin was about to cause trouble again, immediately issued a warning. This frightened Xuan Yin so much that her face turned pale, her eyes became much clearer, and she dared not be furious anymore.

Lu Fan sighed helplessly and said, "Even if Ancestor Xuanyang was wrong, wasn't your approach more extreme back then? Imprisoning Ancestor Xuanyang for hundreds of years, who could bear that?"

"Although I imprisoned him, I did not torture him. I only wanted him to change his mind!" Xuan Yin's tone became much calmer after Lu Fan touched a nerve.

"Imprisoning a Nascent Soul cultivator is more torturous than torture. Even if Ancestor Xuanyang eventually escapes and kills you, didn't he also die young and depressed? Neither of you owes the other anything."

"Even if you destroy the Xuan Yang Sword Sect with this remnant soul, what's the use? The Xuan Yang Ancestor won't be able to see it. You might as well enter reincarnation and cultivate anew. At that time, all the deep hatred and grudges will vanish like smoke."

Lu Fan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin's face darkened: "You junior, how dare you lecture me! Do you think I don't want to enter reincarnation? That heartless man refined my soul; how can I, with this remnant soul, possibly enter reincarnation!"

Upon hearing Xuan Yin's words, Lu Fan understood. It turned out that what angered Xuan Yin the most was not that Xuan Yang killed her, but that he had cut off her path to reincarnation.

"Master, I do have a way to help you replenish your soul and allow you to enter the cycle of reincarnation in peace, but on the condition that you do not disturb my core formation again," Lu Fan said slowly.

"Heh, you? To complete my soul? Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't dare say that!" Xuan Yin clearly didn't believe it.

"Since I dare to say it, I can certainly do it. You have no other choice but to believe me now," Lu Fan said.

At this moment, Xuan Yin's expression was uncertain. It wasn't that she was persuaded by Lu Fan's few words, but rather that she couldn't kill him at all, and she had already been exposed. If she let Lu Fan leave the cave, and the matter was reported, wouldn't the Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect turn the entire mountain range upside down to find her?

Lu Fan also realized this at this point, so he added fuel to the fire.

"Senior, why don't you think about this again? With this three-eyed crow by my side, you can't even get close to me, so how can you kill me?"

"Furthermore, I have also come to know of your existence. Once I emerge from seclusion, I will immediately inform the Supreme Elder of this matter."

"You have caused such misery to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect over the past few hundred years. I think those Supreme Elders will probably not let you go. They will dig three feet into the ground to completely obliterate your remnant soul."

Lu Fan said slowly.

Although Xuan Yin was still furious, Lu Fan's words made perfect sense, so she finally spoke, "Can you really repair my soul?"

"I swear on my Dao heart that if I have uttered even a single falsehood, may I be haunted by inner demons," Lu Fan said.

Lu Fan was absolutely telling the truth. The Heaven-Mending Furnace could repair everything, even his damaged soul.

Repairing a remnant soul is a piece of cake, isn't it?

"Alright! I believe you," Xuan Yin said, his hostility subsiding only after seeing Lu Fan swear an oath with his Dao heart.

"However," Lu Fan changed the subject, "you'll have to wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage before I can help you repair your remnant soul."

"You!" Xuan Yin was surprised that Lu Fan suddenly changed his mind.

"Master, please don't be hasty. After all, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. If I help you repair your soul now, what if you try to possess me?"

"Besides, you've already endured ten thousand years, why worry about a few more decades?"

Lu Fan spoke up.

"Achieving Nascent Soul in decades? You're quite arrogant. You should try to form your Golden Core first!" Xuan Yin seemed to have finally let go of his hatred and stopped making things difficult for Lu Fan.
