"Since that's the case, why don't we let Xiao Fan go?" Ling'er said directly, "My alchemy talent isn't strong, and I don't know much about alchemy furnaces. If Xiao Fan goes, he'll be the most suitable!"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
Elder Shendan nodded slightly, "This matter is urgent. Have Xiao Fan come over."
Ling'er nodded and left the alchemy room. Soon after, Lu Fan arrived at the alchemy room and looked at Elder Shendan.
"Xiao Fan, are you willing to go down the mountain? The alchemy furnace will be damaged soon. I need you to 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 types of alchemy furnaces. Which kind does Elder Shendan want?"
"Choose whichever kind 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 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 care too much!"
Elder Shendan waved his hand. "Hurry up and go! Don't delay the time."
Faced with these words, Lu Fan nodded slightly, not daring to delay at all, and left directly.
Seeing Lu Fan's retreating figure, Ling'er's expression turned cold. He had already informed Qi Hao, and Lu Fan would probably never return. However, he was quite satisfied with this.
As long as Lu Fan didn't return, he could control the Alchemy Hall and become an Elder of the Alchemy Hall in the future, and no one would compete with him for this position.
Inside the sect of the First Heaven, Lin Zhe was teaching several disciples sword techniques. Seeing Lu Fan's figure, he became extremely respectful, not even daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Lu Fan ignored him and walked directly towards the outside of the First Heaven.
"Senior Brother Lin Zhe, you are about to enter the inner sect. Why are you so fawning towards 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 better not to ask."
The disciples were perplexed and didn't dare to inquire further. Lin Zhe must have his reasons, and they couldn't say anything more.
After leaving the First Heaven, Lu Fan headed towards a mountain range. After passing through this mountain range, he could reach the city ahead, where it would be very convenient to buy an alchemy furnace.
Just as Lu Fan was about to fly his sword, a figure appeared in the distance. A man in white held the hilt of his sword and smiled, "Could you be Lu Fan from the Alchemy Hall?"
"That's right, I am indeed from the Alchemy Hall!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "May I ask who you are? Why do you know my identity? It seems you were waiting for me deliberately?"
"I am an inner disciple of the Heavenly Fire Pavilion," Qi Hao said coldly. "We have no enmity, but you are blocking Junior Sister Ling'er's path. 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 sect elder can she help me. Therefore, you cannot live," Qi Hao said with a cold voice.
"Does Junior Sister Ling'er know that you are here to kill me?" Lu Fan asked again.
"She sent me here!"
Qi Hao sneered coldly. "However, for an outer disciple like you, dying at my hands is an honor."
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "You're 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 say them, but don't worry, I won't fulfill them for you."
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "You think too highly of yourself. You're just a Great Spirit Master, yet you dare to be presumptuous in front of this Venerable!"
Qi Hao was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so arrogant, not only not taking him seriously but also seeing through his cultivation level.
At that very moment, Lu Fan soared into the air, stepping on the void with an even colder expression. "With your meager skills, do you think you can do anything?"
"Ling Du Xu Kong?"
Qi Hao was filled with disbelief. He couldn't fathom how Lu Fan could possess such a skill. After all, Ling Du Xu Kong was something only experts at the Spirit Emperor realm could achieve. How could Lu Fan possess such ability?
"If you had behaved yourself, nothing would have happened. But now, it's a pity. You dared to attack me, and you're courting death." Lu Fan's eyes were filled with coldness.
As these words were spoken, Qi Hao retreated continuously, his face darkening. "This is 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'm not aiming for the position of outer sect elder, so I have no intention of becoming the master of the Alchemy Hall. However, since you want to kill me, I cannot let you go today."
"So you are an infiltrator of the Heavenly Fire Pavilion!"
Qi Hao's heart sank. When he was in the Second Heaven, he had heard many rumors from other disciples that a master had infiltrated the Heavenly Fire Pavilion and intended to seize the treasures of the Heavenly Fire Pavilion. The elders had already set up defenses, and he hadn't expected this person to be Lu Fan.
"It was my momentary lapse in judgment to listen to Ling'er. I beg Senior to spare my life!"
Qi Hao quickly knelt down, his eyes filled with earnestness. To be able to enter the Heavenly Fire Pavilion and become an inner disciple was an unparalleled 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. Once Qi Hao dared to make a move against him, everything was too late and irreversible.
"If that's the case, then it's a fight to the death!"
Qi Hao held his sword and instantly charged towards Lu Fan, his eyes filled with coldness. He had initially hoped Lu Fan would spare his life, but now it seemed unlikely.
"With you?"
Lu Fan's palm ignited with the White Lotus Sacred Fire. "You're not worth mentioning."
At that very moment, Qi Hao died a tragic death, his body even untraceable. Although this place was not far from the Heavenly Fire Pavilion, Lu Fan acted with extreme discretion. Furthermore, Qi Hao had deliberately chosen a secluded spot to deal with him, so no one could witness what had happened.
After resolving Qi Hao, Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent as he slowly walked towards the city. He now understood that Ling'er wanted him to buy the alchemy furnace simply to kill him. Lu Fan naturally had no good feelings towards such a ruthless person, and if he had the chance, Lu Fan would never let her off.
