Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

After leaving the cave, Lu Fan headed to the three-story building.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I, Lu, have come to keep our appointment," Lu Fan said as he walked downstairs.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed true to his word, come in," Ye Lingxi called out from afar.

Lu Fan then stepped inside.

Upon arriving on the third floor, Ye Lingxi was standing in front of the Eight Immortals table, wiping a high-grade magic weapon spear.

Furthermore, there was an ice-fire gourd and a fan-shaped magical artifact on the table, both of which were top-grade magical artifacts.

Seeing this, Lu Fan was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Ye Lingxi to have so many high-grade magic artifacts.

He was also a wealthy man.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, what exactly is this opportunity you're talking about?" Lu Fan asked.

"You'll find out when you get there," Ye Lingxi said, putting away the magical artifacts on the table and tossing a black-faced, fanged ghost mask to Lu Fan.

"What is this?" Lu Fan was stunned for a moment.

"It's just a mask I bought on the street; I'll need it later," Ye Lingxi said, glancing at Lu Fan before adding, "If you trust me, could you please let me see the magical artifact you're using?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was taken aback for a moment, but still took out his low-grade magic weapon longsword and the mid-grade bone shield.

Seeing such a shabby magical artifact, Ye Lingxi was embarrassed and said, "You usually use this kind of trash?"

"What treasures could a first-level rogue cultivator like me possibly possess?" Lu Fan said with a wry smile.

Ye Lingxi was also speechless, but she still raised her hand and took out a high-grade Qingfeng sword, tossed it to Lu Fan, and said, "I did not imprint this magic weapon with my mark. You can use it directly. Don't forget to return it to me after you've done your job."

Lu Fan was shocked again; this was the fourth high-grade magic weapon!

As the saying goes, one should not flaunt one's wealth. Yet, Ye Lingxi revealed so many treasures to me in just a few breaths!

It seems she really isn't afraid of having bad intentions.

"Let's go, the time has come," Ye Lingxi said, walked to the window, raised her hand to summon her flying sword, and instantly transformed into a blur as she sped away into the distance.

Lu Fan also drew his longsword and followed closely behind.

Looking at Ye Lingxi flying far ahead, Lu Fan also had a vague feeling that something was not right.

This woman has so many treasures, and she's wearing a mask as she sets off. Why does she give him the feeling that she's a robber?

Could it be that her so-called opportunity is to become an evil cultivator, guarding the market and extorting money from those wandering cultivators who pass by?

That shouldn't be the case; Ye Lingxi doesn't seem like that kind of person!

When Ye Lingxi first appeared to Lu Fan, she was like a fairy, as pure as a white lotus flower!

Feeling uneasy, Lu Fan immediately sped up to catch up and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, don't tell me that your so-called opportunity is just some heretical cultivation practiced outside the market!"

"No," Ye Lingxi replied simply.

"Then I'm relieved," Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps he had misunderstood her.

After leaving the market, the two flew for about six or seven hours, crossing countless mountains, before finally stopping in a valley nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

This canyon is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, presenting a peaceful and tranquil scene.

Lu Fan released his divine sense and scanned the area, discovering an invisible protective array not far from them, with tall pavilions and towers embedded in the cliff face of the canyon.

"Where is this?" Lu Fan frowned slightly, as if they had trespassed into the territory of some sect.

Ye Lingxi pointed to the canyon not far away and said, "This place is Little Spirit Valley, where a third-rate sect called Spirit Valley Sect is located."

"Even a third-rate sect has at least one Core Formation cultivator in charge. What are we doing here?" Lu Fan asked.

"From what I've observed, the only Core Formation elder in the Linggu Sect was seriously injured in a battle ten years ago and has not emerged from seclusion since."

"Moreover, many evil cultivators have come to test us many times, but that elder has never come forward to suppress them, so that Core Formation elder must have passed away."

Ye Lingxi proceeded with her analysis in a slow and methodical manner.

Lu Fan stared at Ye Lingxi in disbelief and asked, "You're going to rob the Spirit Valley Sect?"

Lu Fan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely dead. He had thought that Ye Lingxi was doing some kind of robbing of rogue cultivators, but he never expected that she was actually robbing a sect!

That's incredibly audacious!

"Why say it so harshly? We are just independent cultivators. We have no sect to protect us when we venture into secret realms, and we have no way to find treasures. Apart from trying our luck at some third-rate sects, do we have any other way to obtain opportunities?" Ye Lingxi said matter-of-factly.

Lu Fan was stunned. He had already been extremely unwilling to cultivate the Holy Spirit True Demon Art, and now he had truly become a demon!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, aren't you afraid of getting entangled in karma?" Lu Fan asked.

"What cause and effect? ​​That's something to consider only for those in the Core Formation stage. What we need to do now is reach the Core Formation stage."

"Moreover, without a Core Formation elder, it won't be long before evil cultivators swarm to attack the Linggu Sect like flies."

"When that time comes, the Linggu Sect will be destroyed, and these disciples will have their bones extracted and their souls refined, never to be reborn."

"When I take action, I will not harm anyone unless absolutely necessary. I will seize the opportunity and leave, so that those evil cultivators will not covet it."

Ye Lingxi possessed an unparalleled beauty, and every move she made exuded the elegance of a fairy, but the words she uttered were shocking.

This stark contrast took Lu Fan quite a while to process; he had learned something new! Never judge a person's character based on a single meeting!

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Ye to say such a high-sounding thing. It's truly an eye-opener for me!" Lu Fan said, speechless.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's not too late for you to withdraw now. I'm not forcing you. If I gain any opportunities here, don't be envious," Ye Lingxi said, taking out a white porcelain doll mask and putting it on.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he grasped a long spear in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, why is your mask so beautiful, while mine is so perfunctory?" Lu Fan asked, looking at the ghost head mask in his hand.

Ye Lingxi did not reply. After observing for a while, she said, "There are still three Foundation Establishment cultivators in Linggu Sect. I will take care of the strongest one. You just need to help me delay the other two for a while. After I defeat the strongest one, I will come to help you."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, and then Ye Lingxi immediately raised her spear, her figure turning into a blur as she instantly rushed towards the sect's protective formation in the distance.

Boom!

With Ye Lingxi's powerful thrust, the spear tip slammed heavily into the sect's protective formation, causing ripples to spread across the formation in an instant.

With just one strike, a tiny crack appeared in the sect's protective formation.

This wasn't because Ye Lingxi possessed extraordinary strength, but rather because the Linggu Sect had suffered several attacks from evil cultivators, and the sect's spirit stones were depleted, causing the protective formation to teeter on the brink of collapse.

As Ye Lingxi swung her spear again, piercing through repeatedly, a hole was instantly punched through the great formation.

This sudden attack on the mountain was immediately noticed by the disciples of Linggu Sect. In an instant, more than twenty cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining flew out on their swords.

Immediately afterwards, three more powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators emerged from the door, two men and one woman, riding flying swords and hovering in mid-air.

"Where did this evil cultivator come from! How dare you attack the protective formation of my Linggu Sect!" The elder, who was the leader of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, immediately shouted angrily.
