Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

At this moment, Lu Fan did not want to argue with these mortals. He sat quietly under a tree and waited.

At this moment, Li Mushuang, as the strongest demon slayer in the Great Yan Dynasty, carried a heavy responsibility. She had to kill this monster, otherwise she would not be able to return to the court to report back.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the Xuanling Corpse Demon had not yet appeared, she immediately set up an array.

Li Mushuang took out an inkwell from her waist, then pulled out the end of the thread, flicked it with her finger, and the ink thread flew out, quickly wrapping around the nearby trees. Then, like a spider web, it wrapped around several large trees, forming a huge array.

Then Li Mushuang took out seven copper coins and threw them in seven directions like darts. Some were embedded in the wall, and some were embedded in the trees, which corresponded exactly to the positions of the Big Dipper.

"Boy, didn't you say you were an immortal? Do you recognize this formation?" The burly demon slayer walked up to Lu Fan and asked in a slightly teasing tone.

"I don't recognize ordinary formations," Lu Fan said casually.

"Haha, imposter! Let me tell you, this formation is called the Seven Star Formation. It is a family heirloom of Lord Li, and it has the ability to trap ghosts, lock souls, and suppress evil spirits. You don't even know this, yet you dare to call yourself an immortal?" the burly demon slayer laughed.

"Oh? This Lord Li has even encountered immortals? Don't you all disbelieve in the existence of immortals?" Lu Fan asked curiously.

"Do you think we're just like these ignorant commoners? Let me tell you, Lord Li's family really did produce an immortal. Otherwise, how could Lord Li have become the strongest demon slayer in the Great Yan Dynasty?" the burly demon slayer said.

"Hmm?" Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, seemingly not realizing that this Lord Li actually had some skill.

Lu Fan then took a closer look at the Seven Star Array. This array was not the kind of large array used by cultivators; it was a modified one, using ink lines and copper coins to set up the array.

These ink lines are equivalent to array flags, while the copper coins are the array's core, capable of gathering a small amount of spiritual energy.

To be honest, even a low-level cultivator who has just entered the world of cultivation and is at the first or second level of Qi Refining could easily set up this kind of formation; it's not a particularly profound formation.

As for its power, it is estimated that it can only deal with some mountain spirits and monsters, or weak and evil spirits.

"Why are you telling him all this? He's just a conman who only knows how to swindle and cheat," Li Mushuang said, looking at the burly demon slayer.

"This kid doesn't recognize immortals. I'll let him broaden his horizons," the demon slayer said.

Lu Fan looked at Li Mushuang and seemed to sense a very faint fluctuation of spiritual energy within her.

This shows that Li Mushuang does indeed have a spiritual root, but without testing, Lu Fan cannot determine what kind of spiritual root it is.

Moreover, Li Mushuang doesn't seem to know that she has spiritual roots.

"I think that so-called immortal from your family is nothing more than a minor cultivator in the Qi Refining stage. What's there to be interested in? I could wipe out a whole bunch of these minor Qi Refining cultivators with a single slap," Lu Fan chuckled, retorting mercilessly.

"How dare you! You dare to slander my great-uncle!" Li Mushuang was furious when she saw Lu Fan's unbridled mockery. She immediately drew her long sword and pointed it at Lu Fan.

Seeing that he had angered the other party with just a few words, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Can't even handle that?"

"My great-uncle was chosen by the immortals to enter the immortal sect. He returned once more than fifty years ago. Although I was not born at that time, he did exist. If you dare to slander my great-uncle, I will kill you right now!" Li Mushuang seemed to be extremely protective of her great-uncle.

Lu Fan smiled. Li Mushuang was, after all, just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with little experience or maturity. He had provoked her with just a few words and she immediately revealed all about her family situation.

"There are many immortal sects in this Great Yan Dynasty. Which immortal sect did your great-uncle join? I'm afraid it's just some wild sect in the mountains," Lu Fan said with a smile.

Li Mushuang was amused by Lu Fan's sharp tongue and retorted, "A wild sect in the mountains? My great-uncle joined the Dao Sect! Do you even know what the Dao Sect is?!"

When Li Mushuang mentioned the name Dao Sect, Lu Fan's brows furrowed immediately.

Looking at Li Mushuang's face, there seemed to be a certain familiarity between her brows...

"Li Niu?" Lu Fan blurted out.

Upon hearing the name Li Niu, Li Mushuang was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Lu Fan would recognize her great-uncle.

"How...how do you know my great-uncle's name! Who are you?!" Li Mushuang exclaimed in shock.

Lu Fan looked at Li Mushuang, and seemed to recall some past events as well.

Fifty or sixty years ago, when he was still in Daozong, Li Niu left Daozong to visit his relatives with his help.

However, she was killed by Zhou Shan after returning from visiting her family. Judging from the timeline, Li Mushuang was indeed a descendant of the Li Niu family.

It's unclear whether he is Li Niu's older brother, younger brother, or younger sister's child.

But Li Niu had mentioned to him that he had parents and a younger sister at home, but no brothers.

Lu Fan wasn't sure if Li Niu had forgotten to mention it, or if Li Niu's parents had had another son, continuing the bloodline.

Considering that ordinary people usually get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, in fifty or sixty years, they can have three generations, or even four generations.

Therefore, it makes sense for Li Mushuang to call Li Niu her great-uncle.

It's estimated that Li Niu left behind some things related to cultivating immortality after returning home.

Although those things are not considered treasures by ordinary cultivators, they are enough to serve as inheritances for mortals.

"I never expected to run into the offspring of an old friend here. Considering my past acquaintance with Li Niu, I will grant you a chance after this matter is over, so that my friendship with Li Niu will not have been in vain," Lu Fan said calmly.

At this moment, Li Mushuang was completely confused by Lu Fan's words. How could this man, who looked to be only in his early twenties, be so familiar with her family's affairs!

"roar!"

Before Li Mushuang could think further, a loud roar suddenly came from afar!

"That monster is about to appear!" The burly demon slayer was immediately startled.

"Don't make any rash moves! Lure it into the formation!" Li Mushuang didn't have time to delve into Lu Fan's situation at the moment, so she immediately gripped her long sword and looked into the distance.

boom!

Suddenly, a mountain peak in the far distance exploded!

A strange green light streaked out at an extremely fast speed, transforming into a long green rainbow that rushed straight toward Luoxi Village.

"This...this is probably a thousand-year-old flying zombie," the burly demon slayer trembled in fear.

The Xuanling Corpse Demon was engulfed in green flames, had a fierce face and fangs, and moved incredibly fast!

The flying Xuanling Corpse Demon immediately spotted the group of more than twenty people gathered below and rushed towards them, seemingly intending to absorb their souls.

"Damn it! How could it be a flying zombie!" Li Mushuang was also frightened, after all, she had never dealt with such a powerful zombie before.
