Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Seeing Yan Ruyu suddenly make a move, Master Kurong remained calm and slowly retreated, saying, "Hehehe, I hope you all have fun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Kurong instantly fled into the distance, with Yan Ruyu chasing after him at top speed.

"Go," Wan Yang said, glancing at the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him.

Wang Qingzhu, Steward Ma, and Yu He immediately followed suit.

Then Wan Yang looked at the disciples of Daozong and Yiqimen behind him and said, "Everyone, I know you are eager to seek opportunities. This Demon Extermination Conference is the best time to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills. Go all out to kill evil cultivators. Anyone who kills five evil cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining can obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill! However, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills is limited, and priority will be given to disciples who kill more. Go."

Upon hearing this, the disciples were overjoyed.

But in this vast Tiandang Mountain, there are probably fewer than a hundred evil cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

In other words, they must kill as many evil cultivators as possible to reach the required number of kills before other cultivators succeed.

Otherwise, if it gets too late, the other disciples will kill them all, and they won't be able to get them.

So all one hundred disciples rushed towards the depths of Tiandang Mountain, and Lu Fan was no exception.

He could tell that there was an ambush at Tiandang Mountain, probably with a lot of large formations set up.

This True Man of Withering and Flourishing was the one who led them in.

Daozong and Yiqimen were well aware of this, yet they still insisted on having their disciples pursue and kill him. Firstly, it was to test whether there were any geniuses among these disciples, and secondly, it was to fight for the mineral vein at all costs.

As for Wan Yang, he naturally wouldn't make a move until that Golden Core stage heretical cultivator appeared.

After blending in with the disciples, Lu Fan headed straight for the depths of Tiandang Mountain.

As he sped along, Lu Fan, in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, fully opened his divine sense, and invisible ripples rapidly spread in all directions.

In that instant, Lu Fan suddenly noticed a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy in the jungle below, which made him stop abruptly.

Meanwhile, the Dao Sect and Yi Qi Sect disciples who were desperately trying to make a name for themselves flew past without any warning.

hum!

Sure enough, the next moment, a large array appeared out of thin air, like a transparent cube, instantly trapping the twenty disciples at the front.

"What... what's going on?!"

"It's the Four Yang Formation! We've been ambushed!"

"This is a powerful formation capable of annihilating even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator! We're finished!"

"Don't just stand there, quick, break through the formation with all your might!"

The cultivators trapped in the formation were instantly thrown into chaos, with only a few remaining relatively conscious.

Just as the twenty-odd disciples unleashed their magical weapons to frantically attack the formation, spiritual energy gathered within the Four Yang Formation, gradually forming four blazing fireballs.

Like the blazing sun in the sky, it constantly releases intense heat, which is also the strength of the Four Yang Formation.

Through continuous high-temperature roasting, the cultivators within the formation are forced to consume spiritual energy to resist the intense heat. Moreover, the formation is sturdy, and even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage cannot destroy it from the inside.

Someone must attack the array's core from the outside, otherwise these twenty-odd cultivators will surely die.

As expected, as the four fireballs continued to release high temperatures, the cultivators inside could only desperately hold up the spiritual energy shield.

Some of the weaker ones were simply roasted into dried meat.

"Senior brothers outside the formation! Quickly save us!" A disciple, knowing he was outmatched, hurriedly cried for help.

Meanwhile, many disciples outside the formation immediately focused their attention on the area below the Four Yang Formation, where they saw more than thirty evil cultivators fiercely protecting the formation.

"Down there! Charge!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Without hesitation, a large number of disciples rushed down. Most of the thirty-odd evil cultivators were at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, with only a few reaching the tenth level.

For the cultivators of Dao Sect and Yi Qi Sect, there were far more wolves than meat, so they couldn't be bothered to care about their fellow disciples trapped in the formation.

The only thing to do is to kill as many evil cultivators as possible who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"Quickly! Retreat!" A heretical cultivator below shouted as he saw a large number of disciples chasing after them.

Then, more than thirty evil cultivators flew away on their swords, disappearing into the distance.

As for the fellow disciples trapped in the formation, they were completely beyond saving.

Lu Fan stood high in the sky, neither offering assistance nor chasing after the evil cultivators.

Just as Lu Fan was observing his surroundings, one of the cultivators trapped in the Four Yang Formation suddenly saw him.

"Is that Junior Brother Lu?! Come and save me!" a handsome cultivator shouted urgently.

When Lu Fan heard someone calling him, he looked over and was shocked to find that the person trapped in the formation was an old acquaintance, Chen Ming!

He was the senior brother who first locked himself in the cave with Yan Ruyu.

"Huh? Isn't this Senior Brother Chen? What are you doing here?" Lu Fan was slightly surprised.

"Junior brother! Stop catching up and hurry up and destroy the array core! I can't hold on much longer!" Chen Ming shouted urgently.

Lu Fan checked Chen Ming's cultivation level and found that he had actually reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. He said, "I remember that Senior Brother Chen and Yan Ruyu joined the Dao Sect at the same time. Yan Ruyu is almost at the Core Formation stage, how come you are still only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining?"

"Junior brother, I have four spiritual roots, and I lack cultivation resources and the elders' favor, so naturally I am slower. However, if I can make a contribution this time, I will definitely be able to establish my foundation."

"Junior brother, release me first. I have the strength, I will definitely help you!"

Chen Ming called out.

"Alright, senior brother, wait a moment. Let me find the array's core first," Lu Fan said, adopting a look-ahead posture as he continued to look down.

"Where! Right there! Junior brother, hurry up!" At this moment, Chen Ming was lying next to the array's light membrane, one hand supporting the spiritual energy shield, the other pointing to the glittering array eye below.

"Why can't I see it? Where is it?" Lu Fan continued to look around.

This scene infuriated Chen Ming, who immediately punched the light membrane, yelling, "You bastard! Are you lame or blind?!"

Seeing the other party's exasperation, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen, you really haven't changed your ways. Is this how you ask for favors?"

"You cripple! I'll kill you when I get out!" Chen Ming roared in his dying breath. He had realized that Lu Fan had no intention of saving him at all.

Although Chen Ming was able to hold out longer than the other disciples thanks to his 12th level of Qi Refining, he was still powerless to break the formation.

He could only rage helplessly within the formation, eventually exhausting his spiritual energy, and his body plummeted downwards.

Seeing that all the disciples in the formation were dead, Lu Fan's face did not show much emotion. He then raised his hand and suddenly unleashed a ball of molten fire.

boom!

The array's core was instantly broken. Lu Fan slowly walked to the pile of corpses, raised his hand, and wiped away the restrictions on more than twenty storage bags.

With a grab in the air, two or three hundred spirit stones, more than twenty low-grade magic weapon flying swords, and dozens of Qi-stabilizing pills and healing pills floated out of the storage bag.

Lu Fan put everything into his storage bag. Although there weren't many items, every little bit helps, so he figured he might as well take them.

The reason he didn't take their storage bags was to avoid being discovered. After doing all this, Lu Fan continued flying forward at a leisurely pace.

Because Lu Fan was waiting to loot the storage bags of the dead disciples, he was delayed and was now completely separated from the main group.

But Lu Fan didn't care, since with his divine sense, it was easy for him to find the evil cultivators hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to ambush him.
