Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

really.

Just as Lu Fan's escape light left the cave, two incredibly powerful divine senses began to scan him frantically.

Lu Fan flew over following the direction of his divine sense and saw Ancestor Tianhuo and Ancestor Jing standing on the secluded cliff, smiling at him.

Upon landing, Lu Fan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Lu Fan greets the two Supreme Elders."

"Hahaha! You're quite the surprise, kid! You actually managed to form your core! Quick, let this old man give you a proper check-up!" Ancestor Heavenly Fire couldn't wait to step forward and examine Lu Fan.

Its divine sense swept across the area without restraint, which terrified Lu Fan, causing him to break out in a cold sweat...

Seeing Tianhuo Ancestor's appearance, Ancestor Jing shook his head helplessly.

"For hundreds of years! My Xuan Yang Sword Sect has only produced this one promising talent!" The Heavenly Fire Ancestor was increasingly pleased with the look, as if he were examining a supreme treasure.

Old Ancestor Jing, standing to the side, was more cautious. Upon seeing Lu Fan's appearance, he immediately recalled the Daoist couple he had encountered more than ten years ago when he traveled to the Great Yan Dynasty and passed through the Little Spirit Valley.

"It seems that my unintentional act back then has truly been rewarded," said Ancestor Jing, who was much calmer, though his surprise was still evident in his eyes.

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor, who was still examining Lu Fan, was slightly taken aback and said, "An unintentional act?"

Then, Ancestor Jing recounted his encounter with Ye Lingxi and Lu Fan during his journey to the Great Yan Kingdom.

Upon hearing Elder Jing's explanation, Elder Tianhuo was stunned: "This kid... has a mixed spiritual root?"

"Back then, Shi Fengtian and Madam Luan both looked down on him, but I felt that he had a great opportunity to establish his foundation with mixed spiritual roots, so I gave him a token."

"It was an unintentional act, but I never expected this child's fortuitous destiny to be far beyond my expectations. To be able to form a core with mixed spiritual roots is something that's hard to find even once every few thousand years!"

Ancestor Jing smiled and said.

Lu Fan was afraid that others would say he had great fortune, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Ancestor, you flatter me. My fortune is shallow. I was able to establish my foundation and form my core entirely with the help of my Daoist partner. Moreover, in order to gather materials, I offended quite a few people in the past few years and was constantly being hunted down."

"I had no choice but to risk coming to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect to form my core. I was fortunate enough to succeed thanks to the blessings of the two patriarchs."

Lu Fan's words were quite watertight, after all, he wasn't lying.

"Hehe, that's true. You've offended the Sword Pavilion and the One Qi Sect of the Great Yan Dynasty, and even the rogue cultivators. I heard you even stole a full twenty drops of Creation Dew from the newly established Demon Sect's Blood Spirit Sect."

"Your opportunity was indeed earned with your life, but it's also part of your strength."

Ancestor Jing smiled and nodded, his eyes full of approval for Lu Fan.

At this moment, Lu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that these two Supreme Elders might covet his good fortune.

Fortunately, his years of hard work and struggle had earned him a considerable "reputation," which can be reasonably explained.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor was even more shocked: "No wonder you were able to form a core with mixed spiritual roots. Your troublemaking style is comparable to that of the founding ancestor of my Xuan Yang Sword Sect."

Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. He had read the notes of Ancestor Xuan Yang, and it was indeed true that he had committed all kinds of evil deeds, such as murder and robbery, which was why he had gradually reached the Nascent Soul stage with mixed spiritual roots.

"Did you encounter any problems when you formed your core?" Elder Jing asked.

Lu Fan had already prepared his explanation, and said, "When I was forming my core, I did encounter some trouble."

"Tell me in detail, tell me quickly!" At this moment, Ancestor Jing immediately became serious, after all, this was related to whether the Xuan Yang Sword Sect could produce other Core Formation cultivators in the future.

"When I was forming my core, I was often surrounded by countless eerie and deadly energies, and several times I almost died from the backlash of my spiritual energy."

"Fortunately, I secretly learned the True Qi Technique of the One Qi Sect, which has the effect of dispelling demons and suppressing evil, so I barely managed to finish the pill."

Lu Fan responded.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jing stroked his beard, then frowned in thought. After a moment, he said, "A sinister, deathly aura... could it be..."

Before Ancestor Jing could speak, Ancestor Tianhuo interrupted, saying, "The former site of Xuan Yin?"

The two patriarchs simultaneously looked towards the Xuan Yin Sword Sect next door.

In fact, Lu Fan came up with this excuse because Zhang Shouye had told him not to go to the Xuan Yin Sword Sect, as that place was too unlucky.

Since that's the case, let's point the finger at the former site of the Xuan Yin Sword Sect, which will also provide an explanation for his perfect Core Formation.

"So it turns out the problem is with the old site of the Xuan Yin Sword Sect. It must be because the Xuan Yang Ancestor killed thousands of disciples ten thousand years ago, causing the resentment in this place to be hard to dispel."

"Since that's the case, then I'll raze the Xuan Yin site to the ground. Let's see if these demons and monsters still dare to disturb the minds of my Xuan Yang Sword Sect disciples."

As the Heavenly Fire Ancestor spoke, flames surged from his body, making it seem as if he intended to completely flatten the mountain peak on the right.

"Senior brother, now that we've found the problem, there's no need to rush," Elder Jing raised his hand slightly, then looked at Lu Fan and asked, "Young friend Lu, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing Jingchuan's question, Lu Fan looked helpless. What could he possibly plan?

His initial plan was to reach the Core Formation stage in a year and a half, and then leave.

But nothing is going according to his plan now. What else can he do? If he doesn't join the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, who knows what those two Nascent Soul experts will do?

"I have caused a lot of trouble outside and have nowhere to go. If the Ancestor does not mind, I am willing to join the Xuan Yang Sword Sect," Lu Fan said, cupping his hands.

"Haha! Good! That's exactly what I was waiting for. As for trouble, you can rest assured. The Sword Pavilion doesn't have the guts to come to my Xuan Yang Sword Sect to demand our people."

"As for the One Qi Sect, it doesn't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it's not worth worrying about."

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor laughed heartily.

Lu Fan was also quite moved. So this is what it feels like to be protected by a big shot!

However, both of these ancestors are nearing the end of their lifespans and probably can't withstand any more torment.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the initial stage is fine, but once you reach the stage where your lifespan is nearing its end, you basically have to avoid taking action if possible.

After all, when you fight someone at this point, you're not fighting over spiritual energy, but over lifespan.

Lu Fan didn't know how long he could maintain this peaceful life, but at least he had a place to stay.

"I have another matter to ask. Before I formed my core, I made a promise with my Daoist partner that we would go on a training trip together after I formed my core. I hope that you will grant my request, Ancestor," Lu Fan said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tianhuo frowned slightly and said, "You have only just reached the Core Formation stage, and your cultivation is not yet stable. It is not safe for you to go out for training."

The Heavenly Fire Ancestor's idea was simple: he didn't want to let Lu Fan go. After all, the Xuan Yang Sword Sect had finally produced a Core Formation cultivator, so how could they let him go? They would cherish and protect him.

But Jing Chuan, standing to the side, had a different idea, saying, "It's alright. Now that you've joined my Xuan Yang Sword Sect, no one will dare to touch you. My senior brother and I will give you a few more treasures, so you'll have no problem keeping your life safe."

Upon hearing the word "treasure," Lu Fan's eyes lit up immediately!
