Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

When Lu Fan asked, Chi Mei didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you familiar with the situation of this Xuanling Corpse Demon?"

"I'm not very familiar with it. This is the first time I've heard of it. But since it's a corpse demon, it must be a product of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon in some dark and eerie places and turning into a corpse," Lu Fan said.

Red Eyebrows immediately shook his head: "No, many cultivators only know that the Xuanling Corpse Demon is born in a dark and treacherous place and is born with the strength of the late Core Formation stage, but none of them know the conditions under which the Xuanling Corpse Demon is formed."

"I would like to hear the details," Lu Fan said.

"There are three conditions for the formation of the Xuanling Corpse Demon. First, the Corpse Demon must have been a Core Formation cultivator in life and its Golden Core must be intact when it dies. Second, the place where it is located must have a large number of corpses, which provide the Corpse Demon with Yin energy to nourish it. As for the third, which is the most important, it is that the place must give birth to Xuanling Demon Fire."

As soon as the red-browed man finished speaking, Lu Fan frowned slightly, looking somewhat surprised: "Mysterious Spirit Demonic Flame? What is that?"

"The Mysterious Spirit Demon Fire is a unique innate spiritual fire found only in the treacherous lands. Its birth conditions are extremely harsh, and it is often born alongside the Mysterious Spirit Corpse Demon."

"This Xuanling Demonic Flame can easily penetrate any defense generated by spiritual energy, directly causing great damage to the cultivator's physical body."

Chi Mei slowly explained.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan frowned slightly: "Does the True Person intend to seize this Profound Spirit Demon Flame?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Mei smiled and shook his head, saying, "I rarely engage in combat these days, so what use would I have for this Xuanling Demon Flame? Besides, even if I obtained it, I have nothing to contain it."

At this moment, Lu Fan seemed to be deep in thought. His Three-Eyed Raven's eye was nurturing the Netherworld Fire, which was specifically designed to burn the soul, while the Profound Spirit Demon Fire was extremely harmful to the cultivator's body. If he obtained it, could he also place it in the Three-Eyed Raven's eye to nurture it?

After all, Crimson Eyebrows had said that he had nothing that could contain the Xuanling Demon Flame, but the third eye of the Three-Eyed Raven was an independent space, so it might be feasible.

In this way, wouldn't he have mastered two powerful innate spiritual flames?

It not only restrains the soul, but also greatly damages the physical body, almost making up for the deficiency.

Moreover, with the addition of his Illusory Sound Thunder Arrow, his combat strength has increased significantly.

But this raises a strange question: if Chi Mei doesn't want the Xuanling Demon Flame, then what does he want?

"Master, you don't mean to refine this Xuanling Corpse Demon, do you?" Lu Fan asked.

Red Eyebrows smiled and said, "Let me be frank. What I'm after is the corpse core of the Xuanling Corpse Demon, not the Corpse Demon and the Xuanling Demon Flame."

"What do you need this corpse pill for?" Lu Fan was dumbfounded. The corpse pills of ordinary corpse demons are different from demon pills. They cannot be used to make pills and have little effect.

"To my shame, I have finally managed to have a wife and children, but I only have less than twenty years left to live. If I were to pass away now, this large family would surely be taken away. Therefore, I wish to use this Corpse Pill to extend my life by a hundred years and see if I can give birth to one or two offspring with spiritual roots, so as to continue my last wish," said Red Eyebrows.

"The corpse core of this Xuanling Corpse Demon can prolong life?" Lu Fan was surprised; he had never heard of such a thing before.

"I have a secret technique here called Corpse Pill Soul Preservation, which can use the Corpse Pill of the Mysterious Spirit Corpse Demon to seal the soul and greatly delay the time of reincarnation."

"Moreover, this method will not harm my soul, and I can still be reincarnated after a hundred years."

Red Eyebrows spoke slowly.

It seems that this explanation makes everything clear. No wonder Crimson Eyebrows summoned so many Foundation Establishment cultivators to challenge the Profound Spirit Corpse Demon.

Ultimately, I still don't want to accept my fate.

More than ten years ago, Chi Mei saw through everything. Knowing that he could not reach the Core Formation stage, he immediately ran to Shiquan Town to have children and enjoy the ultimate bliss.

But after enjoying this for more than ten years, Chi Mei found himself beginning to crave the mortal world again.

He couldn't bear to part with his wife, daughter, and son, nor with the family he had built up over the past ten years.

That's why they resorted to this desperate measure, hoping to struggle for another hundred years.

Ultimately, people fear death, and cultivators fear it even more. To say that one has seen through it all and is at peace with it is all a lie.

If there is even a sliver of hope to prolong life, no one will give up.

"Since the True Man has a method to extend one's lifespan by a hundred years, then we should take a chance," Lu Fan nodded slightly.

At this moment, Chi Mei slowly rose, respectfully bowed to Lu Fan, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, could you help me slay this Xuanling Corpse Demon?"

"No problem," Lu Fan raised his hand slightly and readily agreed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is so righteous, I am truly grateful to the old man. It is just a pity that I have no decent treasure to thank you for now," Red Eyebrows said with a wry smile.

"You're too kind. You helped me complete the Six Armor Thunder Formation back then, so I'm helping you slay the Xuanling Corpse Demon as a way of repaying your favor," Lu Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Chi Mei was moved to tears.

After all, with Lu Fan's help, the success rate of dealing with the Xuanling Corpse Demon will be greatly increased.

Lu Fan naturally had his own ideas, which was to get his hands on the innate spiritual fire and the Xuanling demon fire!

"When do we set off?" Lu Fan asked.

"This Xuanling Corpse Demon is entrenched near a village 300 miles from Shiquan Town. It will inevitably appear and wreak havoc on the world at night. We just need to wait for it to come out and kill it," said Chi Mei.

"That's pretty easy," Lu Fan said.

"Sigh, it's not easy either. This Xuanling Corpse Demon has already gained some intelligence. Not only does it have the combat power of the late Core Formation stage, but it is also extremely cautious. As soon as it smells any trace of a cultivator's aura, it will immediately hide and may not show itself for decades. There is only one chance," Chi Mei shook his head.

"That's fine. We can conceal our presence and enter the village. Once it comes out, we can set up a few more formations, and there shouldn't be any problems," Lu Fan said.

"It's worth a try, as long as we don't let him realize we're cultivators. But I'm not proficient in concealing my aura, so I'll have to rely on Fellow Daoist Lu," Red Eyebrows nodded slightly and said.

"Well, I have a Qi-concealing jade talisman, and I can also conceal my aura, so it shouldn't be a big problem," Lu Fan said, then looked at Ye Lingxi: "Lingxi, you stay with the True Person and wait until I start fighting that Xuanling Corpse Demon before you come to help me."

"Be careful," Ye Lingxi nodded.

"This matter should be handled sooner rather than later, otherwise things may change. Let's set off immediately," Lu Fan said, raising his hand to release the flying boat.

"This is... the flying boat of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect?" Chi Mei was also shocked when he saw the huge flying boat floating above the courtyard.

After all, it was extremely rare for a rogue cultivator like him to see such a treasure.

As Lu Fan, Ye Lingxi, and Chi Mei leaped onto the flying boat, they immediately sped off in the direction Chi Mei had pointed.
