Chapter 260: Guests at the Immortal Cave

Over the course of the night, Xiao Fan first studied the Great Evolution Divine Art several times.

He spent the rest of the time practicing Alchemy.

It had been a long time since he had practiced Alchemy within the star chart, but his Alchemy attainments had not regressed in the slightest.

It was the same old routine, using the Top-Grade Spirit Stone method to refine…

This simple yet luxurious refining method allowed his grasp of Alchemy heat control to become increasingly masterful, and his understanding of pharmacology had also greatly increased.

And the final pill success rate was also growing at an astonishing speed.

Time flew by, and it was the next morning, with the sky brightening.

Xiao Fan withdrew his Divine Sense from the star chart; a night of Alchemy had left him feeling exhausted.

Refining pills also required the constant consumption of spiritual power, which was a good aid for cultivation.

At this moment, ripples came from Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave token; he moved his Divine Thought, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He got up and left the Secret Room…

"Eh… why are you here!"

Xiao Fan was taken aback; as the Secret Room door opened, he saw the Golden-Haired Lion lying at the entrance.

It seemed to have been sleeping before, and seeing Xiao Fan come out, the Golden-Haired Lion turned its head and let out a few "woo-ao" "woo-ao" sounds.

Although Xiao Fan couldn't understand what it was saying, seeing that aggrieved expression, he roughly guessed the gist of it.

"Are you afraid that I left and forgot about you again?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Haired Lion nodded frantically…

Its huge lion head was almost shaking off…

Xiao Fan was speechless… He clutched his head and left, with the Golden-Haired Lion following closely behind, not leaving his side for even an inch.

The Immortal Cave door opened, and Xiao Fan walked out.

"Big Brother!" Zhu Gang greeted Xiao Fan casually.

"Big Brother Xiao…"

"Big Brother Xiao Fan…"

"…"

Behind Zhu Gang were more than a dozen Outer Sect Disciples, all of whom had joined the Jixian Sect together with Xiao Fan and Zhu Gang.

Xiao Fan smiled and nodded slightly at everyone.

Yesterday, after Zhu Gang received the message from Xiao Fan saying he wanted dried meat, he immediately contacted everyone and bought up all the dried meat they had on hand.

When everyone heard it was for Xiao Fan, they didn't say a word and found Zhu Gang early in the morning.

And they insisted on coming over with Zhu Gang.

Zhu Gang thought about it and didn't stop them, so the group came to Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave together.

"Come in." Xiao Fan smiled, signaling for everyone to enter the room.

The Golden-Haired Lion followed behind Xiao Fan, usually acting like a sycophant in front of him.

But upon seeing the others, it unconsciously raised its huge lion head, exuding the majesty of a king.

However, its skinny body felt a bit discordant… looking like it was malnourished.

After all, it had been starved by Xiao Fan for too many days, and it hadn't recovered in a short while.

Everyone entered the Immortal Cave, and all eyes were drawn to the Golden-Haired Lion.

It was truly because its appearance was too good; its golden fur and huge body made it feel like it would definitely be very prestigious to ride out.

"It's so beautiful…" A Disciple giggled, her gaze constantly sizing up the Golden-Haired Lion.

Hai Jiao was also in the crowd, and seeing the Golden-Haired Lion, her Face was full of joy…

A group of female Disciples turned their gazes to Xiao Fan, revealing longing and questioning looks.

Xiao Fan smiled: "Go ahead, it doesn't bite."

"That's great…"

"…"

The group of female Disciples cheered; to them, rather than a Yao Beast, Little Gold seemed more like a large plush toy.

Even for female cultivators, it seemed they had no resistance to such things.

The group of female Disciples walked to the side of the Golden-Haired Lion and probed Little Gold's cultivation, which was only around the second or third level of the Huaqi Realm.

They had all been a little afraid, but now their fear completely vanished, and they even used their slender little hands to stroke it up and down.

The Golden-Haired Lion was initially very arrogant, with a Face full of disdain, but as they stroked it… it revealed an expression of enjoyment, seeming very comfortable, and even in a fit of excitement, it let out a "woo-ao" sound.

However, this cry was very low, sounding lazy, as if it were enjoying itself.

The group of male Disciples saw this and also wanted to touch it; after all, the Golden-Haired Lion's appearance was just too good.

It was also a Yao Beast raised by Xiao Fan, so they were naturally curious.

However, when they walked in front of the Golden-Haired Lion, Little Gold simply looked at people with its nostrils, its expression immediately turned gloomy, and it even bared its teeth… leaving the group of male Disciples speechless…

"Does this lion discriminate between people?"

"Is it male or female!"

"…"

Little Gold had no intention of paying attention to them, and Xiao Fan sat on the stone stool and smiled.

Zhu Gang walked up to the Golden-Haired Lion casually, patted his chest, and laughed: "You guys can't do it; Little Gold isn't familiar with you. When it comes to men, it only lets those it's familiar with touch it, like me!"

After saying that, Zhu Gang reached out to touch Little Gold's lion head…

"Woo-ao"!!

As a result, the originally lazy Golden-Haired Lion sat right up and barked wildly at Zhu Gang…

Judging by that look, if Zhu Gang dared to take half a step forward, it would pounce and bite him!

Zhu Gang: "…"

The group of Disciples, men and women alike, were all stunned, and then they burst into laughter.

Even Xiao Fan, who was on the side, couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw it.

"You damn lion…"

Zhu Gang's Face flushed red, feeling embarrassed.

Little Gold completely ignored him, showing a triumphant expression, and laid back down on its own, enjoying the petting from the female Disciples…

Zhu Gang turned around and left, unwilling to suffer humiliation from the Golden-Haired Lion…

The group of female Disciples first touched Little Gold's lion head, then touched the golden fur on its body…

"Why is this lion so thin? It feels like it's malnourished…" One female Disciple wondered.

"Do lions go on diets too?"

Hai Jiao, who was on the side, eyes lit up, realizing the purpose behind Xiao Fan buying a large amount of dried meat today.

"It must be because it's a picky eater and doesn't like to eat usually, which is why Big Brother Xiao bought it so much dried meat."

After saying that, she placed her little hand on Little Gold's head again, gently stroking it, and said while stroking: "Little Lion, you should eat more usually, don't be a picky eater."

Hearing this, Little Gold was so angry it grinded its teeth…

Was it a picky eater?

It was starved!
