Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Seeing Lu Fan leave, Chen Xuanli couldn't take his eyes off him for a long time: "Alas, what a pity that we couldn't win over a Foundation Establishment cultivator of such strength to Chen Family Fortress."

"Patriarch, these powerful rogue cultivators don't stay in one place. They prefer to travel around seeking opportunities," a member of the clan said.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. You should also prepare yourselves. We will head to Tiandang Mountain in nine days. I will find a way to help you leave."

"It's enough if one of us from Chenjiabao dies; we can't let the family line die out."

Chen Xuanli seemed to know that if he participated in the demon-slaying conference in his withered state, even if he didn't die there, he would definitely pass away upon his return.

"Patriarch, we are searching for longevity herbs for you. You will surely live for another twenty years," a cultivator from the clan said.

"Don't try to comfort us. We are a small clan with no resources or backing, yet we have lived for over two hundred years. What more could we ask for?" Chen Xuanli said, waving his hand before turning and leaving.

at the same time.

At this moment, in a courtyard, Bai Rou'er looked at the long rainbow of spiritual energy that Lu Fan had left in the sky, her eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Chen Yao'er, who was lying in the pavilion, rested her chin on her hand and teased, "Sister Bai, do you like any of these seniors?"

"You little girl, I've only met you once, how could I have fallen for you? It's just that it's not easy to meet a senior who is so approachable and can chat so happily with a mere Qi cultivator like me."

"So I just feel a bit sentimental."

Bai Rou'er responded.

Chen Yao'er flashed a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Yes, I also think that you are a very nice person. If I want to find a Daoist partner in the future, I will choose someone like you."

"What are you thinking about all day at such a young age?" Bai Rou'er said irritably before turning and leaving.

...

at the same time.

Lu Fan, who had left Chenjiabao, had already flown over a hundred miles away.

At this moment, he finally couldn't hold back any longer, and blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"A pseudo-core cultivator, indeed formidable! Even with forty layers of Qi Refining and the Jade Spirit Armor, he couldn't withstand a single blow."

"The difference in their levels is truly like a chasm."

Lu Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a healing pill and put it in his mouth, which calmed him down a little.

Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury, and it didn't affect his lifespan. Otherwise, his last two years would probably have been shortened again.

After flying for most of the day, Lu Fan arrived at the Dao Sect.

At this moment, many inner disciples of the Dao Sect have already prepared for the Demon Extermination Assembly and are heading to the Inner Sect Affairs Hall to report.

However, there are only fifty spots available, and most of them are Qi Refining Level 10 disciples who actively sign up in hopes of finding an opportunity.

Since Lu Fan was brought along by Wang Qingzhu, he didn't need to report to the inner sect. Wang Qingzhu only needed to greet the inner sect members.

After all, as a steward with a very high probability of forming a core, he still has this much power.

After arriving at the Dao Sect, Lu Fan immediately went to the Outer Sect Hall to return the token.

In fact, this is the only inconvenience for Qi Refining cultivators staying in the Dao Sect: going out once requires such trouble, which makes Lu Fan eager to establish his foundation as soon as possible.

At that time, not only will the sect's status increase, but it will also be much more convenient to come and go.

Most importantly, like other Foundation Establishment masters, one can travel and seek opportunities.

Only then will the vast world of cultivation truly open up to Lu Fan.

"Is Uncle Wang here?" Lu Fan walked into the hall of affairs, immediately switched his demeanor, and asked cautiously with a limp.

Looking around, Lu Fan couldn't find Wang Qingzhu, so he simply put the token on the table and prepared to leave.

But just as Lu Fan turned around, his expression tightened instantly.

call out!

A flying sword suddenly shot out, and Lu Fan's powerful divine sense immediately locked onto it. He then performed a backflip to steadily dodge the flying sword.

The flying sword seemed to automatically seek out its target, quickly turning back and shooting towards Lu Fan's throat once more.

Lu Fan dared not be careless, and quickly took out his magic weapon longsword, and suddenly flicked it.

clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the flying sword was deflected. However, it regained its balance in an instant and suddenly split into hundreds of sword shadows that attacked Lu Fan from all directions.

Faced with so many sword shadows attacking at the same time, even though Lu Fan's divine sense was strong enough, his body could not keep up with the pace.

He could only raise his hand and desperately activate the spiritual energy shield.

Ding ding ding.

Countless sword shadows attacked the spiritual energy shield.

Click...

The wind-attribute shield cracked instantly, and Lu Fan took the opportunity to activate the Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique, condensing twenty sword shadows to protect his body as he flashed away from the sky full of sword light.

But losing its balance, it still rolled awkwardly for several meters.

Fortunately, the sword shadow did not continue its attack, but quickly returned to the flying sword.

Seeing this, Lu Fan also withdrew his sword shadow, and then said with a wry smile, "Uncle-Master's Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique is indeed domineering. This disciple is ashamed to admit that I am inferior to him."

At this moment, Wang Qingzhu emerged from the shadows, her purple robes still exuding elegance. A rare smile appeared on her face: "You're much stronger than I expected. You were able to detect my sneak attack and even briefly resist the sword shadows. If you didn't have a leg ailment, these skills alone would be enough to surpass many inner disciples."

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. You didn't even use 20% of your strength just now. I gave it my all," Lu Fan said with a wry smile.

Wang Qingzhu is not only a pseudo-core stage cultivator, but also a sword cultivator. Sword cultivators are inherently domineering, and if they were to attack with all their might...

With Lu Fan's current strength, even the Jade Spirit Armor couldn't withstand it.

"No need to be modest, this is enough. At least he has a high probability of winning against ordinary Qi Refining Stage 10 cultivators," Wang Qingzhu also noticed that Lu Fan had never slacked off in his cultivation over the years.

Not only did he reach the tenth level of Qi Refining at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, but his combat experience was also comparable to that of disciples who had only experienced one or two battles.

"I hope so," Lu Fan said casually.

"While there's still time, you'll stay with me for the next few days and won't go back to the thatched cottage," Wang Qingzhu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was startled and quickly said, "This..."

Lu Fan was a little confused. What on earth was going on? The more things went wrong, the more they resorted to these kinds of tests. What cultivator could withstand such trials?

However, it was clear that Lu Fan was overthinking things.

"Live with me, and I will teach you some swordsmanship techniques. Although they won't improve your skills much, they will still be quite helpful in battle."

"I only hope that you will not let me down. If you can establish your foundation, you should do your best to do so."

Wang Qingzhu spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan realized that he had been overthinking things.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Lu Fan quickly bowed and thanked him.

At this point, Lu Fan had already started to have doubts. After all, with his talent and strength, why would Wang Qingzhu be so patient in teaching him?

This goes beyond the level of concern for a pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivator, a pitiful low-level cultivator; it can be described as excessive concern.

If she really wanted to take on disciples and teach them, she could just find a disciple from the inner sect whose talent would be a hundred times better than his.

In short, Lu Fan couldn't understand it; perhaps Wang Qingzhu really felt sorry for him.

In fact, things were not as Lu Fan thought. Wang Qingzhu was actually picked up from outside by the Supreme Elder of the Dao Sect.

It was probably because they all entered the Dao Sect in this way that Wang Qingzhu paid extra attention to Lu Fan.

After all, there's empathy involved.
