Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

The young cultivator, naturally unaware of Lu Fan in the distance, immediately cupped his hands in greeting and shouted, "Junior Chen Zhiqi, this is my younger sister Chen Yao'er, a cultivator from Chen Family Fortress. Thank you for your help, senior!"

Chen Yao'er, standing to the side, also bowed respectfully to those around her, saying, "Thank you, seniors!"

Discovered, Lu Fan had no choice but to send a telepathic message: "Young man, don't flaunt your wealth. Be careful in the future. You won't always be so lucky."

Hearing Lu Fan's words, Chen Zhi Qiu understood that this Foundation Establishment senior meant no harm, and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "This junior has learned a great deal. Senior saved my brother and me; may we meet you? My Chen Family Fortress will certainly repay you handsomely!"

Upon hearing the generous reward, Lu Fan immediately became interested. The other party was so generous; he was their savior, so giving them ten or twenty thousand spirit stones shouldn't be a problem, right?

"A generous reward? How generous?" Lu Fan didn't bother with beating around the bush and asked directly.

Hearing Lu Fan say this, Chen Zhi Qiu was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Our Chen Family Fortress is hospitable. If you would like to return with me, senior, I will report this matter to the patriarch, and you will surely be rewarded handsomely. I will not let you down!"

"Do you have any pills like Foundation Establishment Pills?" Lu Fan continued to ask.

"Yes!" Chen Zhi Qiu answered without hesitation.

This immediately perked Lu Fan up. Although he had never heard of Chen Family Fortress, he figured it must be a family of cultivators.

If they could really produce a Foundation Establishment Pill, then why bother with the exhausting Demon Extermination Conference? I could just take the pill and go into seclusion to establish my foundation.

Of course, even though the other party said that, Lu Fan didn't believe it immediately. Without seeing the actual product, it was all just talk.

Then Lu Fan slowly emerged from the shadows.

Chen Zhi Qiu was stunned when he saw a figure emerge from the jungle. It was clear that this was the cultivator he had met once in the market.

"So it's you, senior!" Chen Zhi Qiu was immediately delighted.

Chen Yao'er, who was standing to the side, also stared at Lu Fan with curiosity. After all, Lu Fan was handsome. Although he looked a bit gray and haggard due to excessive consumption of his true essence, he still had a good foundation.

"Young man, is there something on my face?" Lu Fan asked.

Chen Zhiqi quickly tugged at Chen Yao'er and hurriedly apologized, "Senior, please don't be offended. My little sister is inexperienced and this is her first time going out with me."

Chen Yao'er was also intimidated by Lu Fan's imposing presence and quickly lowered her head, blushing.

"It's alright, I'll go with you to Chenjiabao. Don't lie to me," Lu Fan said.

"Absolutely not!" Chen Zhi Qiu hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Alright, let's go," Lu Fan raised his hand, released his flying sword, and leaped onto it.

Chen Zhiqi and Chen Yao'er hurriedly leaped onto their flying swords and immediately fled into the distance.

...

Because Chen Zhiqi was slow, Lu Fan had to slow down to keep up, and the flight took almost a whole day.

At this moment, Lu Fan was not sure where he was, but he could roughly calculate that he was about a thousand miles away from the Dao Sect.

Just as Lu Fan was getting impatient, a solitary city gradually appeared in the distant mountains. The city was very small, even smaller than Qingniu Town, where Lu Fan had gone.

Although the city is small, it has all the necessary facilities, and its internal buildings are magnificent and towering.

It doesn't seem like a small town that an ordinary person could build.

This is probably the work of a cultivation family.

"Brother Chen is back."

Just as Chen Zhiqi brought Lu Fan to the sky above the small town, a young cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining quickly took to the air.

"I'm back. Where is the patriarch? I need to see him," Chen Zhi Qiu said.

"The patriarch is having a meeting with the elders in the inner hall," the young monk said.

Chen Zhi Qiu then looked at Lu Fan, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, may I go to the side hall to rest for a while, and then I will report to the family head and come to pay my respects?"

"Hmm," Lu Fan nodded slightly, and then followed the young cultivator into the side hall.

Upon entering the side hall, Lu Fan sat on a wooden chair. A maid then entered carrying a spiritually rich fruit and respectfully placed it in front of him.

Lu Fan picked up the spiritual fruit and ate it without any hesitation.

at the same time.

At this moment, Chen Zhiqi was also hurrying towards the main hall with Chen Yao'er.

At this moment, sitting in the main seat of the hall was a thin, elderly man who appeared to be around sixty years old.

Although he was a cultivator, his eyes looked slightly cloudy, so he probably wasn't a high-level cultivator; he looked more like someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, there were seven or eight middle-aged men at the eighth to tenth levels of Qi Refining sitting on both sides.

This kind of configuration is usually reserved for minor clans with low status in the cultivation world.

"Master! Master!" Chen Zhi Qiu shouted in a panic as soon as he entered the main hall.

"Zhiqiu, don't always act so rashly. Can't you see we're discussing important matters with the patriarch?" a middle-aged man at the eighth level of Qi Refining shouted.

"Third Uncle, I have something important to report!" Chen Zhiqi hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"What is it?" the old man asked.

"I've recruited a Foundation Establishment cultivator! He's waiting in the side hall right now," Chen Zhi Qiu said hurriedly.

"What!" Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stood up, clearly startled: "Are you sure you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"It's absolutely true. Yao'er and I went to the market to buy talismans and were almost harmed by villains. It was that senior who saved us," Chen Zhi Qiu said excitedly.

The other cultivators around the hall also stood up, clearly incredulous.

"Haha! Patriarch, it's true that what we lacked has come to pass. Zhiqiu has done a great service this time," an elder laughed.

"Quickly! Take me to see him immediately!" The old man immediately raised his hand.

Clearly, something had happened to Chen Family Fortress, and they urgently needed the help of Foundation Establishment cultivators. That's why Chen Zhi Qiu decided to win Lu Fan over and brought him to Chen Family Fortress.

You could tell from the old man's eyes that they were indeed very excited.

Led by Chen Zhiqi, the group hurried towards the side hall.

Meanwhile, Lu Fan, who was in the side hall, naturally noticed the group of people coming from outside.

Before the old man even entered the door, he keenly sensed Lu Fan's divine sense scanning him, which immediately filled the old man with joy.

"Not bad! Your spiritual sense is even stronger than mine. You are a senior in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!" the old man exclaimed in delight.

The other elders in the clan were also beaming with excitement.

The old man then led everyone into the side hall.

Upon entering, the old man's face immediately broke into a broad smile, his wrinkles almost bunching up. He then cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and said, "I am Chen Xuanli, the patriarch of Chen Family Fortress. Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar; I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

"My name is Lu Fan, a rogue cultivator. Patriarch Chen, please do not perform such a grand ceremony," Lu Fan bowed in return.

"Fellow Daoist saved a junior of my clan, which is a great kindness to my Chen Family Fortress. Come on," Chen Xuanli said without any further words, immediately raising his hand to beckon people to give him a large sum of money as a token of gratitude.

Then a maidservant respectfully handed a tray with a storage bag on it to Lu Fan.

Upon seeing the storage bag, Lu Fan was visibly startled. Could it be that it contained a Foundation Establishment Pill?

This came way too easily!
