Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Lu Fan didn't take Yan Ruyu's sarcasm to heart, after all, it was part of his plan.

He needs to make the opponent careless so that he has a chance to launch a sneak attack.

But at this moment, Yan Ruyu had begun to get serious, and her attacks became extremely fierce.

As Yan Ruyu formed hand seals, she quickly mobilized a large amount of water-attribute spiritual energy and swung her hand forcefully.

thump!

A spring of water suddenly gushed forth from the ground, and then a water dragon materialized, heading straight for Lu Fan.

Faced with Yan Ruyu's merciless killing move, Lu Fan immediately raised his hand to erect a spiritual energy shield.

boom!

The water dragon struck the protective shield, instantly shattering it, and Lu Fan was also severely injured. Fortunately, the Jade Spirit Armor played a role in offsetting most of the impact.

But this still forced him to retreat more than ten meters, causing his blood and qi to surge violently within him.

This feeling wasn't much different from when I received Ku Rong's sword strike before.

"Hmph! You're still just a Qi Refining cultivator at level 40. I'll make you die here today!" After saying that, Yan Ruyu suddenly patted her storage bag, and an ancient bronze mirror fell into her palm.

Upon suddenly seeing this scene, Lu Fan was immediately startled. He recognized it as the top-grade magic artifact, the Sky Mirror!

Many years ago, Yan Ruyu showed off in front of the inner disciples!

The combat power of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator equipped with a high-grade magic weapon increases significantly.

Lu Fan knew that Yan Ruyu had this trump card, but he didn't expect her to use it so quickly!

Clearly, they had no intention of wasting any time on him and were prepared to forcefully kill him here!

"You scoundrel, to die on a high-grade magic weapon is a blessing you've accumulated over three lifetimes. Prepare to die!" After saying this, Yan Ruyu's body quickly rose into the air.

The Dome Mirror immediately floated up, like a small sun, hanging high above Yan Ruyu's head, standing out conspicuously in the darkness.

Just as Yan Ruyu and Lu Fan were fighting, a figure silently appeared in the jungle a dozen miles away.

"Hmm? There are actually cultivators from various sects fighting here? Heh heh, looks like my luck isn't so bad after all."

A sinister laugh rang out, and the figure that appeared was none other than the Kurong Zhenren, who had been chased by Yan Ruyu and the other late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Clearly, he wasn't dead; he had simply gone into hiding.

Upon seeing the two combatants, he immediately drew his greatsword and rushed towards the battleground.

...

at the same time.

hum!

A buzzing sound erupted, and the Dome Mirror burst forth with dazzling golden light. Then, countless beams of light shot out from the bronze mirror at a speed that Lu Fan could not possibly dodge.

"This is troublesome!" Lu Fan's face darkened. He dared not be careless at all. He took out a few healing pills and put them in his mouth in advance, while grabbing a handful of spirit stones to quickly replenish his spiritual energy.

call...

The next moment, Lu Fan was surrounded by a wind-attribute spiritual energy shield, which was more concentrated than ever before.

Boom boom boom!

However, when those countless beams of light shot towards him, Lu Fan realized how overconfident he had been!

Nearly fifteen beams of light blasted around him, and the violent explosions and impacts sent him flying dozens of meters away!

More than a dozen trees along the road were knocked down.

"puff..."

Lu Fan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, while his Jade Spirit Armor shattered into more than a dozen pieces at once!

If Lu Fan hadn't been cautious enough to prepare twenty coins beforehand, he would have been absolutely certain death without Zi Yuan's protection!

Lu Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the healing medicine he had taken beforehand quickly took effect.

This demonstrates the importance of caution, preventing the internal injuries from erupting all at once.

However, Lu Fan's lifespan was already limited, and after this fierce battle, he was on the verge of death, with his white hair visibly increasing.

It seems that those two years will be halved again.

This made Lu Fan feel extremely anxious and uneasy.

After the bombardment, Yan Ruyu's delicate face turned visibly pale, and she immediately took out several spirit stones to restore her spiritual energy.

Only after she had done all this did she release her divine sense to observe Lu Fan's situation in the distance.

Upon seeing this, she was immediately astonished: "He's not dead?"

"Hmph! Do you think you're the only one with tricks up your sleeve!" Lu Fan snorted and said in a deep voice.

Yan Ruyu was clearly incredulous, then glanced at the Mirror of Light above her head: "Is this still a high-grade magic artifact? How could its power be so weak!"

"A high-grade magic artifact has already become sentient, so it seems it doesn't like being used by you," Lu Fan said with a smile.

Whether it is a high-grade magic weapon or a top-grade magic weapon, they are all very precious heirlooms. Cultivators who obtain such treasures usually use special methods to refine them.

For example, refining it with the power of bloodline can not only pass it on to future generations, but also ensure that it can immediately exert its power if it is taken away by others.

Yan Ruyu was clearly unaware of this, and simply refined it, which resulted in the Sky Mirror only exerting one-third of its original power.

"Hmph, I can easily kill you even without it!" Yan Ruyu put away the Sky Mirror, flicked her longsword, and decided to hold back.

Meanwhile, Lu Fan secretly formed a hand seal and quickly established a connection with the Purple Iris Puppet in his storage bag.

We'll just wait for Yan Ruyu to attack, then kill her instantly with one strike!

As Yan Ruyu attacked with her sword, Lu Fan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

However...

Unexpected events often happen unexpectedly. Just as Lu Fan was about to use his Golden Core stage puppet to kill Yan Ruyu.

boom!

A giant sword suddenly flew from afar and slammed heavily between Lu Fan and Yan Ruyu, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Lu Fan immediately raised his hand to cover his face, while Yan Ruyu was also startled by the sudden impact and had no choice but to backflip back a distance.

"Hehe, little beauty, so you've been here all along. I've been looking for you for quite a while."

After a sinister laugh, Master Ku Rong slowly landed on the hilt of the giant sword, looking at Yan Ruyu with great interest.

"Withering and flourishing!" Yan Ruyu's face darkened instantly when she saw this evil cultivator she despised.

Lu Fan was also full of surprise. This True Man Ku Rong had been chased by Yan Ruyu, Wang Qingzhu and three other late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet he hadn't died.

In that instant, Lu Fan immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "True Master Kurong! I didn't expect it to be you. You've saved my life!"

When Lu Fan said this, he had already used the Qi Concealing Jade Talisman, which had been transformed into a Qi Refining Level 10.

Ku Rong immediately turned his head and saw that it was Lu Fan, whom he had met once before. He was immediately surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu?"

When Lu Fan came to Tiandang Mountain with the main group, he hid in the crowd and was only wearing a blue robe that Steward Ma had given him.

Therefore, Ku Rong did not discover that Lu Fan was a disciple of the sect.

"It's me," Lu Fan replied.

"You bastard, I told Chen Xuanli to have you come and help me, why didn't you come?" Ku Rong shouted.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I encountered some trouble on my way here, which delayed me. By the time I arrived, the battle was already over."

"I was looking for Fellow Daoist Chen, but I unexpectedly bumped into this female cultivator."

Lu Fan explained the whole story in a very thorough and unambiguous manner.
