Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

That night, Lu Fan had no heart to rest, after all, Bai Rou'er's appearance had somewhat disturbed his Dao heart.

I could only sit there all night.

The next morning, Chen Xuanli led the cultivators of his clan to wait for Lu Fan.

As the door opened, Lu Fan slowly walked out and saw Chen Xuanli waiting at the door. He asked, "Has that late-stage Foundation Establishment evil cultivator arrived?"

"He'll be here soon. Just say he's a close friend of mine who came at my invitation to help you, and that will dispel any doubts the late-stage Foundation Establishment evil cultivator might have."

"This evil cultivator specializes in taking the virginity of female cultivators for his own cultivation. Over time, his mind becomes twisted and ruthless. Never provoke him."

Chen Xuanli spoke up.

"Hmm," Lu Fan nodded slightly, and then the group walked towards the lobby.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Lu Fan was somewhat worried. After all, this was a late-stage Foundation Establishment evil cultivator, and if a fight broke out, he was no match for him.

Unless he uses Zi Yuan, Lu Fan doesn't want to expose his Golden Core stage puppet at the moment. Besides, his true essence is greatly damaged, so it's not suitable for him to engage in large-scale battles.

Therefore, it would be best if he could get away with it by deceiving everyone. If he really couldn't, he would have no choice but to run away and stop caring about the Chen family.

As Lu Fan pondered, a late-stage Foundation Establishment divine sense swept across the hall.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanli immediately stood up and released his divine sense to protect the Chen family fortress in order to prevent frightening the younger generation.

Lu Fan, of course, also released his mid-Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, adding a bit more effort.

After all, this evil cultivator doesn't know how to control his divine sense, and his actions are crude and barbaric, which can easily frighten those low-level cultivators who have reached the first or second level of Qi Refining, causing damage to their souls.

"Hehehe... Patriarch Chen, not bad. You really found a Foundation Establishment cultivator as I requested, and a mid-stage one at that. It was worth all the effort I put into you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister-looking man standing on a giant sword flew over from the distant horizon, laughing. The man was in his early forties, with a face full of evil, and it was clear at a glance that he was not a good person.

"Greetings, Master Kurong," Chen Xuanli immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

Lu Fan followed closely behind, casually cupping his hands in greeting.

Master Kurong immediately looked at Lu Fan and said, "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. You are not a cultivator from Chenjiabao, are you?"

"My surname is Lu. I am a wandering cultivator with no fixed abode. I met Fellow Daoist Chen many years ago and was invited to come and help him," Lu Fan replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

"I see. Fellow Daoist Lu, your spiritual sense is quite good, but why is your cultivation only at the tenth level of Qi Refining?" asked True Person Kurong, seemingly thinking that Lu Fan had suffered some kind of injury and his cultivation had plummeted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanli was also taken aback for a moment before looking at Lu Fan. It seemed that after sensing Lu Fan's mid-Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, he had not used his divine sense to scan Lu Fan, as it would be very impolite.

I never expected Lu Fan to be at the tenth level of Qi Refining?

Lu Fan smiled slightly, then raised his hand and took out the Qi-concealing jade talisman, holding it in his hand without removing its effect. He said, "When I travel, I always keep a low profile and often show my Qi-refining abilities to others."

"Hehe, so it's a Qi-concealing jade talisman. Fellow Daoist is quite cautious," Master Ku Rong chuckled, then added, "However, I'm not sure about your strength yet. Can you withstand even one or two of my moves? That way, I'll have a better idea of ​​your capabilities."

"This," Chen Xuanli was also clearly startled at this moment, and hurriedly said, "True Master Kurong, Fellow Daoist Lu is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, while you are at the peak of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, already at the Pseudo-Core stage. You are no match for him. If Fellow Daoist Lu is injured, it may affect your strength in the upcoming Demon Extermination Conference."

"Don't worry, I'll hold back. After all, if I don't try, how will I know if you old codger will lie to me and just find some injured Foundation Establishment cultivator to fool me?" Ku Rong said.

Just as Chen Xuanli was about to say something, Lu Fan waved his hand and said, "It's just a move or two, I can handle it, Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to worry."

"Alright then," Chen Xuanli said, knowing he had little say in the matter, and could only agree.

Lu Fan then stepped forward. The reason he dared to take a hit from a fake Core Formation stage True Immortal Ku Rong was that he expected the opponent would not attack with full force, and he also had the Jade Spirit Armor protecting him, so even if he was slightly injured, he would not be in mortal danger.

Only in this way can we dispel the other party's suspicions.

"Hehe, not bad, then please accept my challenge, Fellow Daoist Lu," said True Immortal Kurong. He immediately leaped up and, with a wave of his hand, the giant sword beneath his feet swiftly fell into his palm.

boom!

With a sudden swing of his giant sword, Master Kurong unleashed a crescent-shaped sword light that hurtled towards Lu Fan.

At this moment, Chen Xuanli, who was standing to the side, was also so frightened that he hurriedly erected a spiritual energy shield, fearing that the aftershocks would hurt him.

Lu Fan immediately raised his hand, mobilized his spiritual energy, and erected a wind-attribute spiritual energy shield.

lb!

With a muffled thud, the sword light shattered Lu Fan's spiritual energy shield, but it also reduced the power of the sword light.

Boom!

The next moment, the Jade Spirit Armor took effect, directly negating most of the power of the sword light, but some aftershocks still struck Lu Fan.

This caused Lu Fan's feet to slide back a few steps, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat, almost spitting out blood, but he forcibly suppressed it.

But this also caused Lu Fan a burning pain in his internal organs, clearly indicating that he had indeed suffered a shock! At least a minor injury.

The jade spirit armor she wore close to her body also broke in one piece.

However, Lu Fan still tried to remain calm, smiling and cupping his hands: "Fellow Daoist Kurong is quite strong, I can only accept this with a bit of difficulty."

At this moment, Ku Rong's eyes widened, and he said, "I thought you were quite confident just now, but you didn't hold back. I didn't expect you to actually withstand it?"

Chen Xuanli was also filled with disbelief when he saw Lu Fan, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, easily withstand a near-full-force attack from a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

The other Chen family cultivators were equally dumbfounded.

"Just lucky," Lu Fan laughed, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, he was really suffering from holding his breath for so long.

"Alright, since Patriarch Chen has kept his promise, I will not make things difficult for Chen Family Fortress any further."

"Nine days from now, you must lead your entire clan to Tiandang Mountain. Don't be late."

After finishing his words, Master Kurong stepped on the giant sword and fled into the distance.

Seeing the other party leave, Chen Xuanli finally breathed a long sigh of relief: "Finally, I managed to fool them."

"Now that the matter is resolved, Fellow Daoist Chen, our agreement is considered complete," Lu Fan said.

"Of course," Chen Xuanli said, raising his hand to take out the jade box, inside which was the Golden Marrow Pill.

Lu Fan didn't stand on ceremony and casually put the item into his storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have nothing else to do, you may stay a few more days. Rest assured, it is not for your participation in the battle, but simply to make your acquaintance with you," Chen Xuanli said, cupping his hands in greeting.

After witnessing Lu Fan's formidable strength, Chen Xuanli was eager to befriend him.

Because he was about to pass away, there were no Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan to oversee things.

If he could befriend Lu Fan, perhaps Lu Fan could lend a hand if Chenjiabao were to encounter danger in the future, and he could then peacefully pass away.

But Lu Fan clearly didn't have that idea, saying, "I'm used to being idle, and I'd rather not have a place to stay. Forget it."

Realizing that Lu Fan did not want to have much to do with Chen Family Fortress, Chen Xuanli had no choice but to give up and said, "Very well, I will not keep Fellow Daoist Lu any longer. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit Chen Family Fortress. We will certainly treat you as an honored guest."

"Alright, come back for a drink sometime. Goodbye for now," Lu Fan said, then flicked his wrist, summoned his flying sword, and fled into the distance.
