Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Lu Fan, who had just left Chenjiabao, had traveled over a hundred miles away. After finding a relatively quiet canyon, he plunged into it.

After landing, they dared not slack off in the slightest. They immediately found an abandoned cave nearby, set up two isolation arrays, and then released the two blood cocoons.

Not knowing what was going on with the blood cocoon, Lu Fan also released the knowledgeable Zi Yuan along with it.

"Master, what's going on with this three-eyed crow?" Lu Fan asked Zi Yuan.

At this moment, Xuan Yin, who was possessing Zi Yuan's body, also immediately woke up. He also saw the two enormous blood cocoons and said, "It seems it's time to open my eyes."

"Now that you've opened your eyes, why is your aura fluctuating in strength? Could it be that you didn't feed it enough spirit beast pills before?" Lu Fan frowned slightly and asked.

"No, I think the Three-Eyed Raven at this stage probably doesn't need spirit beast pills for energy anymore. It will probably need to use essence blood. After all, these creatures from the underworld are very different from ordinary spirit pets and cannot be treated with common sense," Zi Yuan said.

"You want me to use my blood essence to help them open their eyes?" Lu Fan was stunned for a moment.

"Give it a try. Reaching the fifth level of eye awakening is very important for the Three-Eyed Raven. If it fails to awaken its eyes, it will only become an ordinary Three-Eyed Raven and it will be difficult to nurture the Netherworld Fire," Zi Yuan said slowly.

Upon hearing Zi Yuan's words, Lu Fan's heart tightened. He had spent a considerable amount of time and spirit beast pills to raise the Three-Eyed Crow to this level.

If opening the eyes fails and the Netherworld Fire cannot be nurtured, then it's all for naught. So no matter what, failure is unacceptable.

"It seems that I can only feed them with my essence blood." Without hesitation, Lu Fan immediately raised two fingers, flicked them, and two drops of essence blood landed on the two blood cocoons respectively.

The moment the blood cocoon touched Lu Fan's essence blood, it immediately began to stir, instantly devouring the essence blood completely.

The previously fluctuating strength seemed to have improved considerably.

"It seems my analysis was correct. It is indeed necessary to use the essence of blood. From now on, you must protect it at all times," Zi Yuan said slowly.

"That's fine. As long as I can open my eyes smoothly, losing some essence and blood won't be a big deal," Lu Fan said without a care. After all, if the Three-Eyed Raven reaches the fifth level of eye opening, it's equivalent to having two more Core Formation helpers.

Especially with the opening of the Li Huo Cave approaching, once Lu Fan participates on behalf of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, he will inevitably run into those old enemies.

However, Nascent Soul cultivators are not allowed to enter the Li Huo Cave. Lu Fan was unsure what would happen inside, but any increase in strength would also increase his chances of survival.

Therefore, the three-eyed raven is now of particular importance.

For the rest of the time, Lu Fan stayed by the two blood cocoons, never leaving their side.

As soon as they showed the slightest sign of weakening, Lu Fan would not hesitate to offer two drops of his essence blood to feed them.

As time went on, the aura emanating from the blood cocoon grew increasingly powerful.

Nearly seven months had passed, and Lu Fan had fed her his essence and blood more than forty times.

It's fortunate that it was only blood essence that was fed; if it were true essence that was consumed in this way, it probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it long ago.

Even so, his face was still somewhat pale.

"Aren't you coming out yet? If you keep feeding them like this, even their essence and blood won't be able to withstand it," Lu Fan said helplessly, looking at the two blood cocoons.

But at a certain moment, with a "poof" sound, a tiny flame suddenly appeared on the two blood cocoons.

The flames were grayish-white, like two lit candles.

"What is this?" Lu Fan was immediately startled and stepped forward to examine it.

As soon as he got close to the flame, he vaguely felt a chill that went straight to his soul!

Just as Zi Yuan had said before, the Netherworld Fire only burns the soul and has no effect on the body.

That's why Lu Fan felt a tremor in his soul, but his body felt no discomfort.

"It seems to have succeeded! Since the Netherworld Fire has appeared, it means that the Three-Eyed Raven has opened its eyes and is just waiting to emerge from its cocoon," Zi Yuan said.

Lu Fan nodded slightly, then raised his hand and released a wisp of spiritual energy, wanting to put away the Netherworld Fire on the blood cocoon. After all, even a small mosquito is still meat, and this little flame shouldn't be wasted.

Strangely, the spiritual energy enveloped the grayish-white flames and passed right through them without touching them at all!

"The spiritual energy can't cover it?" Lu Fan frowned slightly.

He tried to use his spiritual energy to gather the flames, but to no avail.

"Only the third eye of the Three-Eyed Raven can control the Netherworld Fire; it cannot be collected by ordinary means."

"Even when you fight against someone, you can only control the Netherworld Fire by manipulating the Three-Eyed Raven."

Zi Yuan spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan nodded slightly. It seemed that the Netherworld Fire was stronger than he had thought. Since spiritual energy could not touch it, it also meant that the defensive measures of ordinary cultivators would be ineffective.

This is a winning strategy that catches the enemy off guard!

Click...

As Lu Fan pondered, a crack immediately appeared on one of the blood cocoons.

Click, click...

The next moment, cracks began to appear on another blood cocoon!

"It's coming out!" Lu Fan was overjoyed and quickly raised his hand to form a hand seal, immediately flicking a few drops of essence blood towards the two blood cocoons.

For the past six months, Lu Fan has taken meticulous care of her without leaving her side, and now it's finally time to reap the rewards!

"quack!"

Just as Lu Fan was excitedly watching the blood cocoon, two crows cawed from inside!

boom!

Instantly, the two blood cocoons burst open, and two three-eyed crows eagerly flew out, circling above Lu Fan's head!

To Chad, it seemed no different from before. But if you looked closely, you could clearly see that their third eye between their eyebrows was now fully open!

The eyeballs were grayish-white, like those of a corpse!

Moreover, the Three-Eyed Raven's aura had reached the fifth rank! Comparable to a Core Formation cultivator of the human race!

After circling for a while, the two crows landed on Lu Fan's shoulders, shook their heads, and flapped their wings a few times, appearing extremely excited.

"Hahaha! A fifth-tier three-eyed raven! It seems my strength has increased quite a bit!" Lu Fan burst into laughter.

At this moment, he not only has Ziyuan, a puppet in the early stage of Core Formation, but also two fifth-tier spirit pets!

He alone is comparable to four Core Formation cultivators!

"Kid, your luck and fortune are no less than that of that dead guy back then. You were able to cultivate two three-eyed crows with open eyes at once. When they grow up, they will at least become a local overlord," Zi Yuan praised without reservation.

"Master, you flatter me. It was just a fluke," Lu Fan smiled, then with a thought, he established a connection with the Three-Eyed Raven.

The next moment, a faint gray-white light flashed from the vertical eye between the eyebrows of one of the three-eyed crows. Lu Fan stretched out his palm, and the faint Netherworld Fire also floated in his palm.

The Netherworld Fire was entirely controlled by the Three-Eyed Raven, hovering in Lu Fan's palm without touching him.

"I wonder if that little bit of Netherworld Fire can take down a Core Formation cultivator?" Lu Fan observed the flames for a moment and asked.

"What are you thinking? Core Formation cultivators aren't that fragile. This bit of Netherworld Fire can only damage their souls, it's far from killing them outright," Zi Yuan said.

"It's alright, let's nurture it slowly. It will unleash its power sooner or later," Lu Fan said, flicking his hand to send the flame back into the three-eyed crow's eye.

With less than five months remaining before the opening of the Li Huo Cave, Lu Fan removed the isolation array and set off to return to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
