After House Master Hei Xuanfeng finished his words, he left with his superb body movement. His figure flashed and turned into a black whirlwind. In a flash, he was a hundred meters away, just like a ghost.
As soon as Hei Xuanfeng left, Li Yunqi stared at Lin Fan again with a gloomy face. He gnashed his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to make a move easily. He waved his hand and motioned his four subordinates to follow him.
Lin Fan also waved his hand and led the first group of people away.
After the two groups separated for some distance, Lin Fan picked a small forest and then asked the four people to sit down, ready to discuss the action.
The four people were very obedient, or they were convinced by Lin Fan's strength.
And at this time, Heaven Fire and Long Mu immediately got close to Lin Fan. As soon as Long Mu opened his mouth, he called him team leader and gave Lin Fan a thumbs-up, saying,
"Team leader, you really hide your strength. Just now, you attacked Li Yunqi at a higher level. It was so cool. My blood was boiling when I saw it."
"That Li Yunqi is too arrogant and supercilious. He deserves to be taught a lesson by team leader." Heaven Fire said with indignation.
After listening to the words of these two people, Ling Xuefei frowned. It seemed that she didn't have a good impression of these two fence-sitters.
Lin Fan knew the nature of these two old guys. When they were on the invisible flying boat, they desperately clung to Li Yunqi and disdained Lin Fan. They didn't even look at him. Now they saw his real strength and saw that he was the team leader, so they turned to cling to him and deliberately belittled Li Yunqi.
To be honest, Lin Fan hated this kind of people most in his life. If it were in normal times, he wouldn't even pay attention to them.
But in special times, special treatment was needed. Now there was a heavy responsibility and there were not many people.
If they didn't unite, it would be more difficult to carry out the task.
Therefore, Lin Fan did not show anything. He just smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it again. Now Li Yunqi is in the same group and has nothing to do with us. We will mind our own business in the future."
"When dealing with Evil Immortals, we'll definitely run into them.
At that time, Li Yunqi may plot against us. "
Zuo Dao spoke. It seemed that Zuo Dao knew Li Yunqi very well and had a good impression of him.
Ling Xuefei pursed her red lips. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Lin Fan glanced at Ling Xuefei and said, "Ling Xuefei, what do you think about this operation?
… "
Ling Xuefei's beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom. She glanced at the three people and said, "I think Li Yunqi will definitely wait for us to take action first.
Everyone knew that there was an Evil Immortal hidden in the Heavenly Slaughter Sect.
I don't need to say more about the horror of the Evil Immortal. It's like a hornet's nest. The one who pokes the hornet's nest first will definitely be unlucky. However, after the Evil Immortal is alarmed, he will quickly escape from the Heavenly Slaughter Sect. So, the one who arrives later can take advantage of the situation. "
Lin Fan understood Ling Xuefei's meaning. He nodded and then glanced at the other three people.
He asked, "What do you think about this operation?
… "
"Group leader, I think Li Yunqi is very cunning.
Li Yunqi was as insidious and cunning as a fox.
He will definitely wait for us to poke the hornet's nest first and then take action … "Heaven Fire Elder said.
"What Brother Heaven Fire said makes sense. We can't fall into Li Yunqi's trap and be used by him …" Long Mu echoed.
"Zuo Dao, what do you think?" Lin Fan turned his eyes to Zuo Dao.
Zuo Dao hesitated for a moment and said meaningfully, "The leader didn't give us a time limit for the task. Why are we in such a hurry?"
Lin Fan said, "Well, since I am the leader of the first group and you are my soldiers, I have to be responsible for the four of you. I won't risk your lives for a little credit. So, I agree with you on this matter. Let's find a place to hide for the time being and wait for three days … Let's wait for the second group to attack first."
Ling Xuefei said, "What if the two groups keep waiting like this?"
Lin Fan said, "After three days, if the second group doesn't attack, we will discuss it again … What do you think?"
Ling Xuefei nodded, and the other three also nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan said, "Well, now let's find a secret place to hide and come out to meet in three days."
Heaven Kill, Long Mu and Zuo Dao all responded and then walked away to find a secret place to hide.
Ling Xuefei didn't leave.
When Lin Fan was about to walk away, Ling Xuefei said, "Hey, leader, wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" Lin Fan turned around and stared at her as he asked.
His gaze and tone were very calm, and there was even a hint of anxiety in his words.
He seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
Lin Fan's calm attitude made Ling Xuefei feel relieved and angry at the same time. She wondered why this Lin Fan didn't seem to have any reaction when he was alone with a beautiful woman. Was his mental strength really that strong?
Women were like this. When a man deliberately clung to them, they would feel annoyed and would feel that a man was a dog-skin plaster. When a man ignored them, they couldn't help but feel resentful.
Lin Fan's coldness made Ling Xuefei feel a little awkward. Ling Xuefei pursed her red lips and said, "Thank you for what happened just now."
"Just now?
What happened? "Lin Fan was a little confused.
Ling Xuefei paused and said, "Uh, it's about the flying boat …"
"Uh, that's really nothing. I've already forgotten about it." Wang Xiao Qiang waved his hand and smiled casually.
Lin Fan was indeed protecting Ling Xuefei on the flying boat, but he was also protecting his own dignity.
Therefore, he didn't need Ling Xuefei's thanks.
"Uh …" Ling Xuefei was a little disappointed. Although Lin Fan's answer made her feel at ease and she knew that he was a magnanimous person who didn't care about gratitude or grudges, Lin Fan's indifferent attitude made her very unhappy.
With her stunning appearance, she had been loved since she was young, especially because she was extremely talented and had a deep cultivation. For such a beautiful and powerful woman, all men, especially young men, would think of ways to get close to and pursue her.
Lin Fan was the first man who was so indifferent to her.
In fact, Lin Fan was not unmoved by Ling Xuefei's beauty, but he was really eager to cultivate. That was why he asked everyone to spend three days. In fact, he was selfish. He had to seize the three days to improve his cultivation. It would be best if he could use the 10,000 Qi-gathering Pills in the Sumeru Ring to make continuous progress and break through to the Almighty Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.
Once he stepped into the Almighty Immortal Realm and turned Qi into Liquid, his Qi refining strength would be increased tenfold, and some other spells would also be improved.
At that time, Li Yunqi would not be his opponent. If he dared to provoke him again, he was sure that he could kill him directly.
What was more, they were likely to face the evil immortals next. According to Ding Chunqiu, the evil immortals at the Second Liquid Level and the Third Liquid Level of Almighty Immortal were killed by the evil immortals in seconds, which showed how terrible the evil immortals were.
To be honest, Lin Fan had no confidence to deal with the evil immortals with his current strength. If he could be promoted to the Almighty Immortal Realm, he would have a 70% chance of winning.
Ling Xuefei was not a love-struck girl. She stopped Lin Fan for two reasons. One was to thank him, and the other was to learn something about the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra from him. He had always wanted to practice this cultivation method, but like most immortals, he was reluctant to give up the cultivation that he had worked hard for decades. Therefore, in the face of such a heaven-defying cultivation method, he flinched.
At such a young age, Lin Fan had mastered the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Obviously, he had not become a mortal. This situation surprised her, but she was also looking forward to it. She wanted to know more.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Fan smiled faintly at Ling Xuefei and asked.
"Uh … yes … yes …" Ling Xuefei avoided Lin Fan's eyes and stammered. Finally, she could not help but say, "I have something to ask … ask you …"
"What is it? Ask away."
Lin Fan's expression softened a little. He showed an amiable expression and said very nicely, "I'm your team leader now. You can ask me anything in the future …"
Seeing that Lin Fan's attitude had softened a little, Ling Xuefei was not as embarrassed as before. Therefore, she smiled.
A beauty's smile was worth a thousand gold. This saying was true. Ling Xuefei's smile was definitely worth a thousand gold.
Usually, she always had a cold expression, giving people a cold and aloof image. Almost no one had seen her smile before. Her smile was extremely rare, but now, she actually smiled.
If her fanatical pursuers saw her smiling face, they would definitely die of envy.
Ling Xuefei restrained her smile and said, "I want to know, before you cultivated the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra, did you become a mortal?"
Hearing this, Lin Fan's face changed. His face turned cold and even icy cold. To him, this was a sensitive topic. It was also a taboo topic for him. That was because this topic had something to do with the Flying Guillotine.
Although this Ling Xuefei was pretty and did not look like a bad person, Lin Fan was not clear about her background. Therefore, he would definitely not reveal anything to her.
Therefore, he said coldly, "Sorry, this is mine. I can't tell you. Ah … I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep first …"
Lin Fan yawned as he said this. Then, he did not stay any longer.
He turned around and left to find a secluded place to cultivate.
Ling Xuefei was stunned. Her flower-like smile froze on her face.
She was extremely embarrassed. In all her life, no one had ever rejected her question like this.
Moreover, it was such a cold rejection. It directly hurt her self-esteem. In her anger and embarrassment, tears welled up in her eyes.
Actually, Lin Fan could not bear to treat a girl like this, especially such a beautiful girl. However, this question directly asked Lin Fan the thing that he hated the most. Therefore, he could not answer.
…
Lin Fan released his divine sense.
He looked around and quickly found a cave. In his divine sense, there were living creatures in this cave.
Therefore, he first let the striped beast in to sweep the area. After the striped beast entered the cave, it came out with the corpses of two red-horned goats in its mouth.
There were divine beasts and spiritual beasts in the Falling Heaven Domain. These two red-horned goats belonged to the lowest level of spiritual beasts. Their weapons were two red horns.
These two red horns were as sharp as two daggers. They might be able to defend against intruders, but when facing the striped beast, they were no match.
They were no match for the striped beast. In the blink of an eye, they died in the mouth of the striped beast.
Lin Fan threw one of the red-horned goats into the Sumeru Ring. This red-horned goat was much bigger than the goats on Earth. It was as tall as a deer and looked delicious. If it was made into mutton skewers, it would definitely be delicious.
Lin Fan kept one for the picnic and rewarded the striped beast with the other one.
After the striped beast swallowed the red-horned goat, it stood guard at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Fan entered the cave to cultivate.
Although the cave was not clean, there was no smell.
Lin Fan used water-type spiritual energy to clean out an area.
Then, he sat down cross-legged and took out 500 Qi Gathering Pills from the Sumeru Ring. He placed them on the ground and let the Flying Demon Droplet in to absorb them.
After it was full, it kept expanding and contracting. It was all sucked into his body.
Then, it shook in his body and released a large amount of immortal qi. The immortal qi was extremely fierce, as if it was a condensed version of a twelfth grade typhoon. This immortal qi violently surged in his body, as sharp as the astral wind, and expanded outwards …
Boom … One … Boom … Two … Boom … Three … Boom … Four … Boom … Five … Boom … Six … Boom … Seven … Boom … Eight …
Lin Fan's body was like a huge volume of air. After every explosion, a strand of immortal qi would shake out from his body.
This time.
There were a total of eight explosions. A total of eight strands of immortal qi shook out from his body.
The immortal qi that shook out from his body constantly condensed.
It gradually condensed into a mist state. This mist state of immortal qi formed a cyclone.
It was like a blade of air, abnormally sharp.
Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Realm.
A breakthrough was announced.
The process of the Immortal Emperor Realm stepping into the Golden Immortal Realm was actually the gradual condensation of immortal qi.
It was a process of condensing and gradually liquefying.
When a cultivator stepped into the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Realm, the immortal qi in his body would undergo a greater qualitative change, condensing into a mist state. Moreover, the density of the mist was higher than the Immortal Emperor Seven Qi Realm, and its power was even greater.
When one stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm, the immortal qi in the mist state would completely liquefy and turn into immortal liquid.
The power would increase by ten times.
Time was of the essence. After breaking through, Lin Fan did not stop cultivating. Instead, he took out another five hundred Qi Gathering Pills from his Sumeru Ring and continued to cultivate …
The higher one went on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it was. When breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm, Lin Fan spent almost twice as much time as when breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Realm. The amount of Qi Gathering Pills he consumed was three times as much as when he broke through to the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Realm.
After breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm, an entire afternoon had passed. At this time, the cave entrance was already dark. Obviously, it was night time. Lin Fan was also a little tired, so he lay down to rest.
He would conserve his energy and prepare to break through the bottleneck tomorrow and advance to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The next day, Lin Fan woke up early and took out dry food and water from his Sumeru Ring to satisfy his hunger. Then, he continued to cultivate.
Sure enough, the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm was a big bottleneck. It was said that some Immortal Emperors were usually stuck at the small bottleneck for five years. They could be stuck at the big bottleneck for ten years or even a hundred years.
Lin Fan felt that this was true. Anyway, Lin Fan spent an entire day without breaking through. At this time, half of the Qi Gathering Pills in his Sumeru Ring had been consumed. Now, there were only five thousand left.
As for whether these five thousand Qi Gathering Pills could help him break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, it was hard to say.
Time flew like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. Now, there was only one day left before the meeting time.
According to the plan, Lin Fan had to use this one day to break through the bottleneck of the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm and reach the Golden Immortal Realm.
After sleeping for a night, Lin Fan rested enough. He took out water and dry food from his Sumeru Ring to satisfy his hunger. After filling his stomach, he sat cross-legged in the cave and began to cultivate again.
Lin Fan's cultivation speed had to be carried out in secret. It could not be known to others. At least, it could not be known to those who were not familiar with him. Otherwise, it would definitely be shocking.
This was because Lin Fan's cultivation speed was too fast. Others would need several years of hard work to reach a realm, but he only needed a few days or even a few hours.
This speed was a bit heaven-defying and also a bit abnormal.
Once someone found out, it would be bad if word got out.
However, on the path of cultivation, the higher one went, the more difficult it was. Although Lin Fan had the Demon Guillotine, a transformation artifact, and a large supply of Qi Gathering Pills, he could clearly feel that after reaching the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm, his cultivation speed was much slower than before. Especially the bottleneck of the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm, it was too uncomfortable for him.
Lin Fan took out all the Qi Gathering Pills from his Sumeru Ring and placed them on the ground. Five thousand Qi Gathering Pills were piled up there. The white pills were like silkworm cocoons, looking very pleasing to the eye.
Then, he let out the Demon Guillotine to absorb them. After absorbing them, it released a large amount of Immortal Qi into his body. The Immortal Qi was extremely fierce, as if it was a condensed version of a twelve-grade typhoon. This Immortal Qi violently surged in his body, as sharp as the astral wind, constantly swirling in his body and condensing into a mist.
When the five thousand Qi Gathering Pills were used up, the mist in his body was extremely dense.
With a boom, it suddenly spread out …
Boom … One … Boom … Two … Boom … Three … Boom … Four … Boom … Five … Boom … Six … Boom … Seven … Boom … Eight … Boom … Nine … Boom … Ten …
At this moment, Lin Fan's body was like a huge container. Every time there was a boom, a mist would spread out from his body.
There was a total of ten booms, and a total of ten mists were released from his body.
The mists that were released from his body were constantly fusing, compressing, condensing … and gradually condensing into liquid …
Immortal Qi liquefied.
It was immortal liquid!
Lin Fan had finally stepped into the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.
He was overjoyed. With a thought, the immortal Qi condensed into immortal liquid.
With a boom, it was completely absorbed into his body. Finally, it was absorbed into the depths of his dantian, directly omitting the immortal meridian.
Lin Fan was someone who could not open the immortal meridian. If he did not have the Demon Guillotine, even if he condensed the immortal Qi into immortal liquid, he still would not be able to absorb the immortal liquid into his dantian.
That was because the immortal liquid had to go through the immortal meridian to reach the depths of his dantian.
It also had to go through the immortal meridian to release it outside his body.
By the same logic, if it was an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
At this time, he would have to use the immortal meridian to absorb the immortal liquid into his dantian, and the speed would be much slower. However, Lin Fan's speed of absorbing and releasing the immortal liquid was several times faster than ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
When the immortal liquid entered his dantian, Lin Fan felt a cool aura overflowing from his dantian and flowing through his entire body. He only felt that his entire body was extremely comfortable. That kind of indescribable wonderful feeling was something he had never experienced before. Moreover, this kind of comfortable feeling was not temporary, but had always existed.
It was no wonder that so many cultivators risked their lives to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Because after becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, not only would one's Qi Refinement strength increase by ten times, the immortal liquid would cleanse and nourish one's body, causing one to always be in a wonderful feeling that made one want to die.
In the blink of an eye, the cultivation this time took more than half a day.
After breaking through, the immortal liquid cleansed and nourished his entire body. Lin Fan's body and mind were refreshed, and he lay down in the cave to sleep for half a day.
In the evening, he woke up and remembered that three days had passed. It was time to meet up, so he walked out of the cave and came to the entrance.
Seeing that its master had broken through to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, the striped beast cried out excitedly and crawled in front of Lin Fan's feet. With a thought, Lin Fan put it away. The striped beast turned into a shadow and returned to his back, turning into a tattoo.
Because the striped beast had to rely on its master to live, and was connected to its master's spirit and flesh, when the striped beast was attached to Lin Fan's back, the striped beast's blood and Lin Fan's blood exchanged with each other, and the striped beast's strength realm also increased. The cultivation between the master and the pet was closely related.
Divine Beasts were divided into ten ranks according to their strength.
The strength of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was equivalent to the strength of a Divine Beast. For example, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal like Lin Fan, whose cultivation level was at the One Liquid Stage, corresponded with the cultivation level of a Divine Beast.
Now, the striped beast, with the increase of its master's cultivation, had surpassed the category of a spirit beast and entered the level of a Divine Beast. It had the power to fight with a Divine Beast.
After keeping the Divine Beast, Lin Fan used the Rat Transformation Technique with a thought. Then, his Qi Refinement cultivation quickly shrank, and he became an Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm cultivator.
There was no way to disguise like this. Lin Fan's cultivation speed was too fast. In just three days, he had advanced from the Immortal Emperor Seven Qi Realm to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. It was too shocking. Moreover, he had always been in the Immortal Emperor Four Qi Realm to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. There were six levels between the Immortal Emperor Four Qi Realm and the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm. There was only one level between the Immortal Emperor Four Qi Realm and the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm.
Although breaking through in a few days seemed a little fast, it was not to the point of scaring people.
Therefore, he had to hide a part of his strength, and it had to be hidden just right.
There was a certain advantage to hiding one's strength, and that was to create a false image for the enemy and confuse them.
After disguising his cultivation, Lin Fan put his hands behind his back and walked out of the cave in large strides. Then, he walked towards the small forest where the five of them had discussed last time.
When he reached the small forest, he found that the other four had not yet arrived.
Lin Fan took out the red-horned sheep from his spatial ring and placed it on the ground. He skinned it and took the meat, and then cut it into small pieces.
Then, he cut down a big tree and took a pile of branches. He used the thin branches to skewer the meat, and the thick branches piled into a pile. With a wave of his hand, fire spirit qi shot out and ignited the branches. Then, he put the skewered lamb on the fire and roasted it. He also took out salt and seasoning from his spatial ring and sprinkled it over the meat.
As Lin Fan was doing this, Sky Fire, Dragon Wood, Left Blade, and Ling Xuefei came over one after another.
The Immortals of the Falling Jade Realm usually ate delicious food. The food was exquisite and they were very particular about it. However, they did not have the primitive method of roasting lamb skewers.
When they saw Lin Fan use such a primitive method to roast the meat of spirit beasts, the four of them were incomparably curious. Amidst their curiosity, there was also a bit of disdain. They felt that such a primitive method of roasting meat would definitely produce something extremely crude and tasteless.
…
