Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

The so-called spiritual energy transformation is actually an upgraded version of the spirit shaping technique. Before a cultivator reaches the Core Formation stage, their spiritual energy reserves are limited, and they cannot use a large amount of spiritual energy at will to create a substantial form.

At most, he can unleash some fireballs, water arrows, and other common attack methods, which Lu Fan had learned back in the Dao Sect.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Core Formation stage, the reserves of spiritual energy will increase dramatically. When one then uses the Spirit Shaping Technique, it is a transformation of spiritual power. Depending on the cultivation method one has practiced, one can transform into a beast form to enhance the burst of spiritual power.

Moreover, maintaining spiritual energy transformation for a long time is a great test of a cultivator's spiritual energy. Some Core Formation cultivators with weak spiritual energy reserves simply cannot maintain it for a long time.

Chu Lingxue cultivates the Moon Wheel Ice Phoenix Scripture, so the spiritual power she releases takes the form of an ice phoenix.

Lu Fan activated his True Qi Gong, transforming it into a giant golden dragon, symbolizing the suppression of evil and the elimination of demons, a form of ultimate strength and yang.

At this moment, many disciples watching from the sidelines were dumbfounded as they watched the ice phoenix and golden dragon circling in mid-air, releasing waves of domineering spiritual pressure.

"Fellow Daoist Jing, has your junior disciple always been so brave?" Madam Luan was also taken aback by Lu Fan's stubbornness.

Jing Chuan looked shocked and worried, and said, "Junior Nephew Lu! Competing in spiritual power is no child's play. Don't push yourself too hard! It will backfire and damage your foundation, which would be a great loss!"

"Don't worry, Ancestor," Lu Fan replied, then focused all his attention on Chu Lingxue, who was a genuine mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, far surpassing the True Jade Hermit he had killed.

Chu Lingxue was somewhat surprised to see that Lu Fan showed no fear in the face of her Ice Phoenix. She then raised two fingers and pointed sharply downwards.

The Ice Phoenix suddenly spread its wings, let out a long phoenix cry, and suddenly swooped down towards Lu Fan with a fierce wind!

"Go!" Lu Fan also raised two fingers and pointed them directly at Chu Lingxue!

The golden dragon twisted its body, bursting with golden light, and instantly charged straight upwards!

boom!

The next moment, the Ice Phoenix and the Golden Dragon collided in mid-air, and golden light mixed with frost instantly spread in all directions!

The Wangyue Sect disciples who had been watching the spectacle hurriedly raised their flying swords and fled in panic, fearing that they would be hit by the terrifying aftershocks.

Seeing that the aftershocks from the clash of their spiritual energies were too strong, Madam Luan stretched out her slender fingers and waved them slightly.

hum!

Instantly, a large spiritual energy shield enveloped Lu Fan and Chu Lingxue.

At this moment, the golden dragon and the ice phoenix collided, just like two wild bulls wrestling, each putting all their strength into the other, neither willing to retreat even half a step!

Seeing that she had not been able to defeat Lu Fan for a long time, Chu Lingxue immediately formed a hand seal, and a white spiritual energy halo erupted around her, clearly increasing the output of spiritual energy.

The Ice Phoenix's eyes glowed red, and its chill intensified!

Seeing this, Lu Fan also formed hand seals without hesitation, similarly strengthening the transmission of spiritual energy!

Boom!

The two enormous creatures continued to collide in mid-air, and the surging spiritual energy fluctuations caused ripples to appear on the spiritual energy shield above their heads.

"This lad is quite good," Madam Luan said, her previous disdain replaced by a small compliment.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Junior Nephew Lu to actually have some skill!" At this moment, Ancestor Jing was pleasantly surprised to see that Lu Fan could fight Chu Lingxue to a standstill in the contest of spiritual power.

After all, Chu Lingxue was recognized as an unparalleled genius by all six sects of Feng Kingdom. Whether it was her divine sense, supernatural abilities, or spiritual energy reserves, she was first-rate.

Lu Fan had not been at a disadvantage in the previous contest of spiritual sense, and now they were evenly matched in terms of spiritual energy reserves, which was simply unbelievable.

The most shocked person was Chu Lingxue. She had gradually changed from looking down on him to looking at him on equal terms, but now she was somewhat astonished.

The Wangyue Sect disciples who had run to the outer perimeter to watch the battle were even more astonished, as if they had never seen Chu Lingxue compete with someone so seriously before.

The key point is that the opponents in that competition were all at the early stage of Core Formation!

This is absolutely outrageous!

At this moment, Lu Fan relied on the terrifying spiritual energy reserves of the mutated spiritual root, coupled with the solid foundation laid by the forty-level Qi Refining Foundation Establishment, making him as stable as an old dog. His spiritual energy was like a surging river, flowing endlessly!

As the spiritual energy confrontation continued, Chu Lingxue began to take it seriously. After all, as a prodigy of the Wangyue Sect, her pride would not allow her to show weakness.

Moreover, Lu Fan was a minor realm lower than her, so even a draw would be extremely shameful.

Therefore, Chu Lingxue's eyes gradually glowed with white light, and the surrounding air suddenly dropped! Even the spiritual energy shield that Madam Luan had casually released above her head was covered with a layer of transparent ice by the white mist!

Ice Phoenix also became increasingly irritable!

Lu Fan also felt a slight pressure and noticed the change in Chu Lingxue's expression; she was clearly getting impatient!

If this competition continues, it won't just be a friendly exchange anymore! It will have to be decided who wins and who loses!

Lu Fan didn't actually enjoy sparring with these prodigies. They were always pampered and couldn't tolerate the slightest defeat.

If you fail, the collapse of your Dao heart is a minor matter; making enemies directly would be a greater loss than gain.

Even though Lu Fan still had spiritual power to resist at this moment, he could only show weakness and reduce the flow of spiritual energy.

boom!

As soon as Lu Fan relaxed his guard, Chu Lingxue seized the opportunity and immediately increased the flow of spiritual energy, directly suppressing the golden dragon in mid-air! She almost managed to disperse it.

To outsiders, it seemed that Chu Lingxue had overwhelmingly suppressed Lu Fan.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, my spiritual power is insufficient. Would you mind stopping here?" Lu Fan hurriedly called out.

Upon hearing Lu Fan's initial concession, Chu Lingxue waved her hand, dispelling the Ice Phoenix, but her eyes held a deep sense of shock.

"Is it over?" Madam Luan looked at the two people inside the spiritual energy shield, her brows furrowing slightly, before raising her hand to dispel the shield.

Chu Lingxue slowly landed and said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to be able to hold on for so long. I underestimated you."

"Fellow Daoist Chu truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy of the Wangyue Sect. Your cultivation and strength far surpass mine. If we were to continue this contest, I would undoubtedly lose," Lu Fan said with a cupped hand and a smile.

Lu Fan didn't care about winning or losing, or reputation. Showing a little weakness would give his future ally a way out, so they wouldn't really fight to the death.

But Old Ancestor Jing, standing beside Madam Luan, looked as if he had struck gold, and laughed, "Hehe! Not bad! Not bad! Nephew Lu, though defeated, is still honorable. To be able to compete with Young Friend Chu for so long is already quite remarkable!"

"Young friend Lu is quite capable to have lasted so long under Ling Xue's command. It seems that the rumors about mixed spiritual roots having rich spiritual energy are not entirely unfounded," Madam Luan said, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Chu Lingxue was not an ignorant person. Lu Fan gave her a way out, so she naturally returned the favor and said, "Putting aside supernatural abilities, Fellow Daoist Lu is far superior to ordinary early Core Formation cultivators in terms of divine sense and spiritual power reserves. Even I cannot guarantee victory in a short time."

Chu Lingxue's praise made Old Ancestor Jing grin from ear to ear; his Xuan Yang Sword Sect had finally gotten a chance to show off.
