Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

"Yes," Lu Fan replied calmly.

"Retreat, retreat! It would be better if you all retreated, so I wouldn't have to worry about you. You're all ungrateful wretches!" Xuanxuzi said with displeasure to everyone present.

Xuanxuzi naturally wouldn't try to retain a Foundation Establishment disciple.

Lu Fan took out the steward's token and the steward's uniform, and handed them to Steward Ma who was standing next to him.

"Junior Brother Lu! What are you doing! Don't do something foolish!" Steward Ma was also somewhat shocked.

Xuanxuzi, standing to the side, remained unperturbed, saying, "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to act so arrogantly in front of me? Anyone among you who is dissatisfied can leave the sect right now!"

At this moment, the Core Formation elders and Foundation Establishment deacons around them all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

Lu Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, broke free from Steward Ma's support, and limped towards the outside of the hall.

With each step he took, his shattered body left behind a pool of bright red blood.

Step by step, a long trail of blood was left on the ground, a shocking sight.

Upon reaching the outside of the hall, Lu Fan did not hesitate for a moment. He released his flying sword and staggered away into the distance.

The two Qi Refining disciples guarding the sect's grand formation, seeing Lu Fan's miserable state, hurriedly opened a passage to let him leave.

Inside the main hall, whether they were Core Formation elders or Foundation Establishment cultivators, everyone who looked at Lu Fan's retreating figure felt the humiliation of the day.

Although the pressure Gu Xin exerted on Lu Fan did not fall on them, it was like a heavy hammer blow to their fragile self-esteem.

Back then, when the three Supreme Elders of the Dao Sect were still alive, how glorious they were! But what about now?

...

Lu Fan, who had just left the Dao Sect, flew unsteadily for dozens of miles before finally giving up. His vision went black, and he plummeted downwards.

boom!

His body crashed heavily to the ground. Lu Fan quickly released Zi Yuan to protect him. Only after confirming that the surroundings were safe did he summon the Heaven-Mending Furnace from his Qi Sea.

Lu Fan used all his strength to climb into the Heaven-Mending Furnace.

This Heaven-Mending Furnace can even heal his lame leg. No matter how serious the injury, as long as the Heaven-Mending Furnace has enough energy, recovery is just a matter of minutes.

As he climbed into the Heaven-Mending Furnace, the pure energy quickly enveloped Lu Fan, and his severe injuries, including his damaged soul, began to heal visibly.

A few breaths later, Lu Fan stepped out again, full of energy, but he looked much more dejected. He raised his hand to put away the Heaven-Mending Furnace and slowly sat down under the tree.

It was as if the pressure from the Ancient Heart Ancestor had crushed his spirit.

Although Lu Fan had suffered humiliation in the first ten years of his time at the Dao Sect, he had never felt such a deep sense of humiliation and powerlessness as he did today.

Originally, he planned to leave the Dao Sect together with Wang Qingzhu after they formed their cores, even if it meant finding a barren spiritual vein and establishing a third-rate sect.

As long as he could be with Wang Qingzhu, Lu Fan didn't care about anything else, because deep down he had long regarded Wang Qingzhu as his closest relative.

But now, he has left the Dao Sect, and Wang Qingzhu has been taken away by Ancestor Gu Xin, leaving him all alone again.

"Sigh, am I really destined to be a jinx?" Lu Fan sighed.

He really had a tough time.

Abandoned by her parents as an infant, she was taken to the Daoist sect but was not well received. She finally had Li Niu as a companion, but was then killed by Zhou Shan.

He had just experienced the long-lost care from Wang Qingzhu, only to be tragically separated from her again.

It was as if fate was working against him at every turn.

Lu Fan sat under the tree for a long time until the sun set before standing up, seemingly feeling much better.

After all, his greatest skill is self-consolation; otherwise, he would have been furious long ago.

"Lu Fan, Lu Fan, you can't even handle this much? The road ahead is long. With the Heaven-Mending Furnace, what are you afraid of? As long as you don't die, there is always hope!"

"You old scoundrel, I'll remember you! I'll repay this humiliation a hundredfold sooner or later!"

Lu Fan rallied his spirits, then raised his hand to release his flying sword, leaped onto it, and sped towards the Chu Family Market.

What he needs to do now is become stronger! And bring Wang Qingzhu back from Jian Ge!

According to the information he had read in his cultivation notes, it would take at least fifty or sixty years to transform a magic weapon into a true treasure. If Wang Qingzhu deliberately delayed it, it could even take a hundred years.

As long as I do my best to improve my cultivation level during this period without going astray and reach the Nascent Soul stage that everyone looks up to, I will definitely be able to accomplish this task!

...

About half a day later.

Lu Fan returned to Chu Family Market, five days before his appointment with Ye Lingxi.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to find Ye Lingxi. Instead, he rented a temporary cave dwelling to cultivate and stabilize his Dao heart.

At the same time, duplicate some Spirit Tempering Pills and Body Tempering Pills to see how effective these pills are for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Lu Fan then released Zi Yuan as usual and set up the Six Armor Thunder Array before taking out the Heaven-Mending Furnace and starting to replicate the pills.

When replicating these two pills for the first time, Lu Fan did not replicate them in large quantities, only making twenty of each type.

The energy required to replicate a Grade 3 pill is also increased, just like replicating a Foundation Establishment Pill.

In addition, Lu Fan used the Heaven-Mending Furnace to recover from his injuries half a day ago, and 10% of that 60% energy has already been lost, which shows how terrifying the consumption is.

However, the remaining 50% is enough for him to squander for a while.

"Third-grade Spirit Tempering Pills and third-grade Body Tempering Pills are essential for Foundation Establishment. They are much better than taking Qi-Consolidating Pills," Lu Fan said with a slight smile, looking at the pills floating in front of him.

This Spirit Tempering Pill is a kind of pill that can accelerate the tempering of spiritual energy. After all, spiritual energy needs to be tempered before it can be transformed into the attributes it needs after entering the body.

The Spirit Tempering Pill can greatly accelerate this process, and since his Holy Spirit True Demon Art already has an extremely fast cultivation speed, the amount of pills he takes each time is much more than when cultivating ordinary techniques.

As for the Body Tempering Pill, as its name suggests, it is a pill that helps to improve physical strength.

Lu Fan needs to take ten of each of these two types at once, for a total of twenty.

As Lu Fan swallowed the pills like candy, he began his cultivation.

A large amount of spiritual energy flowed into the Qi Sea, and under the effect of the Spirit Tempering Pill, it was rapidly purified and transformed into five attributes.

The Body Tempering Pill also began to exert its power, strengthening the body.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Five days of cultivation, coupled with the blessing of twenty pills, enabled Lu Fan to make further progress in his cultivation, especially in terms of physical strength.

After all, it was the first time taking the Body Tempering Pill, so the effect was particularly noticeable.

However, Lu Fan did not break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but he was not in a hurry. After all, he had cultivated the Holy Spirit True Demon Art, which was extremely easy to suffer from demonic possession, and he could not be greedy for quick results.

Cultivation should be done step by step, and breakthroughs should be achieved naturally to avoid going astray or becoming possessed by evil spirits.

After exiting his cultivation state, Lu Fan walked to the water curtain inside the cave and took a thorough shower.

He then threw the twenty damaged Jade Spirit Armor fragments into the Heaven-Mending Furnace to repair them. After all, he didn't know what Ye Lingxi was going to do this time, so he couldn't be without a means of survival.

After putting on the Jade Spirit Armor vest close to his body, Lu Fan changed into a brand new blue robe before putting away the Purple Iris and the Six Armor Thunder Array and leaving the cave to keep his appointment with Ye Lingxi.

Let's see what this so-called "opportunity" he's talking about really is.
