“Since that is the case, why not let Xiao Fan go?” Ling’er stated directly, “My alchemy talent is not strong, and I don’t know much about alchemy furnaces. It would be most suitable for Xiao Fan to go!”
“I was thinking the same thing!”
Elder Shendan nodded slightly, “This matter is urgent. Have Xiao Fan come over.”
Ling’er nodded and then left the alchemy room. Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the alchemy room and looked towards Elder Shendan.
“Xiao Fan, are you willing to go down the mountain? The alchemy furnace will be damaged soon. Can you go and help me choose a good one?” Elder Shendan said.
“I’ll get ready and go right away!” Lu Fan nodded slightly, “However, there are many specifications for alchemy furnaces. Which one does Elder Shendan want?”
“Choose whichever one you think is good!”
Elder Shendan smiled, “After all, no matter what, the entire alchemy room will be handed over to you in the future, and even the alchemy furnace will be yours. I fear I don’t have much time left.”
“Elder, please don’t say that!” Lu Fan quickly said, frowning slightly. Elder Shendan’s words touched him even more.
“Alright, you don’t need to worry too much!”
Elder Shendan waved his hand, “Hurry up and go! Don’t delay the time.”
Facing these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly and did not dare to delay at all, leaving directly.
Seeing Lu Fan’s departing figure, Ling’er also revealed a cold expression. He had already notified Qi Hao, and Lu Fan would likely never return. However, he was quite satisfied with this.
As long as Lu Fan didn’t return, he would be able to control the Shendan Room and become an elder of the Shendan Room in the future, with no one to compete with him for the position.
Within the sect of the First Heavenly Layer, Lin Zhe was teaching several disciples sword techniques. Upon seeing Lu Fan’s figure, he became extremely respectful, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Lu Fan ignored him and walked directly towards the outside of the First Heavenly Layer.
“Senior Brother Lin Zhe, you are about to enter the inner courtyard. Why are you so deferential to him?” a disciple asked, confused.
“You wouldn’t understand!”
Lin Zhe shook his head, “Even if I told you some things, you wouldn’t understand, so it’s best not to ask.”
The disciples were bewildered and did not dare to inquire further. Lin Zhe had his own reasons, and they could not say more.
After leaving the First Heavenly Layer, Lu Fan headed towards a mountain range. Once he passed through this mountain range, he would reach the city ahead, where it would be very convenient to purchase an alchemy furnace.
Just as Lu Fan was about to fly on his sword, a figure appeared not far away. A man in white held the hilt of his sword and smiled, “Could you be Lu Fan from the alchemy room?”
“That’s right, I am indeed from the alchemy room!”
Lu Fan nodded slightly, “May I ask who you are? Why do you know my identity? It seems you are deliberately waiting for me here?”
“I am an inner disciple of the Tianhuo Pavilion,” Qi Hao said coldly. “We have no enmity, but you are blocking Junior Sister Ling’er’s path, so I cannot let you live.”
“Junior Sister Ling’er?” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, “Are you her lover?”
“That’s right. Only if she becomes an outer elder can she help me, so you cannot live,” Qi Hao said with a cold voice.
“Does Junior Sister Ling’er know you are here to kill me?” Lu Fan asked again.
“She is the one who sent me!”
Qi Hao sneered coldly, “However, as an outer disciple, it is an honor for you to die by my hand.”
Lu Fan smiled faintly, “You are quite naive. Do you really think you can control my life and death?”
“What a joke. If I couldn’t control your life and death, why would I be here?”
Qi Hao’s expression was cold, “If you have any last wishes, feel free to state them, but don’t worry, I won’t fulfill them.”
Lu Fan smiled faintly, “You think too highly of yourself. You are merely a Great Spirit Master, yet you dare to be presumptuous in front of this Venerable!”
Qi Hao was slightly startled. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so arrogant, not only not taking him seriously but also being able to see through his cultivation level.
At that very moment, Lu Fan leaped into the air, his feet treading on the void, his expression even more indifferent, “With your meager abilities, do you think you can do anything?”
“Hovering in the void?”
Qi Hao was filled with disbelief. He could not have imagined that Lu Fan possessed such a skill. After all, hovering in the void was something only experts at the Spirit Emperor realm could achieve. How could Lu Fan possess such capability?
“If you had been obedient, nothing would have happened. But now, it’s a pity. You dared to attack me, and you are destined to die.” Lu Fan’s eyes carried a cold glint.
With these words, Qi Hao retreated continuously, his face turning grim, “This is absolutely impossible. How could you be a Spirit Emperor? Have you been hiding your identity?”
“These are not things you should know!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, “To tell you the truth, I am not here for the outer elder position, so I cannot become the master of the Shendan Room. However, since you want to kill me, I cannot let you go today.”
“So you are someone who infiltrated the Tianhuo Pavilion!”
Qi Hao’s heart sank. When he was in the Second Heavenly Layer, he had heard many students spread rumors that a master had infiltrated the Tianhuo Pavilion and intended to seize the treasures of the Tianhuo Pavilion. Many elders had already set up defenses, and they never expected this person to be Lu Fan.
“It was I who was momentarily blinded by my desires and listened to Ling’er’s words. I beg senior to spare my life!”
Qi Hao quickly knelt down, his eyes filled with earnestness. Being able to enter the Tianhuo Pavilion and become an inner disciple was an immense honor for his family. If he died prematurely, his entire family would likely be ruined.
“It’s too late!”
Lu Fan shook his head, his expression becoming even more indifferent. By the time Qi Hao decided to attack him, everything was already too late and irreversible.
“In that case, it’s a fight to the death!”
Qi Hao gripped his sword and instantly charged towards Lu Fan, his eyes filled with a cold glint. He had originally hoped Lu Fan would spare his life, but now it seemed unlikely.
“Just you?”
Lu Fan’s palm ignited with the White Lotus Sacred Fire, “You are not worth mentioning.”
At that very moment, Qi Hao met his demise, his body not even found. Although this place was not far from the Tianhuo Pavilion, Lu Fan acted extremely discreetly. Moreover, Qi Hao had deliberately chosen a hidden spot to deal with him, so no one could witness what had happened.
After dealing with Qi Hao, Lu Fan’s expression remained indifferent as he slowly walked towards the city. He now understood that Ling’er had asked him to buy an alchemy furnace simply to kill him. Lu Fan naturally had no good feelings towards such a ruthless person. If he had the opportunity, Lu Fan would never let her off.
