Chapter 276: A Resentful Crowd

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian looked at the Disciples standing before them, their expressions somewhat strange…

Usually, every Disciple would come out filled with joy, but this time…

They all looked as if they had eaten a dead rat, their faces livid and their spirits dejected.

Only Xiao Fan looked to be in good spirits, and his left arm had already regrown, his aura exceptionally robust.

Furthermore, his cultivation had reached the Tongtian Realm, his Foundation was solid, and the old injuries from his battle with Xiao Tian had completely healed.

At the same time, the Enlightenment Seed within him had absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy from the pool water, and although it was currently dormant, it looked a size larger on the outside.

He had gained so much from entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool this time.

Nangong Lingxuan, Qiao Rong, and the others looked toward Xiao Fan and, discovering that his left arm had regrown, were immediately filled with astonishment.

"Senior Brother Xiao, your left arm?" Qiao Rong asked in surprise.

Xiao Fan smiled. "Limb Regrowth, it has already grown back."

"So fast!"

Qiao Rong's face was full of disbelief.

Normally, Limb Regrowth would take at least several months.

But how long had it been for Xiao Fan? An arm had grown back in just three days?

Nangong Lingxuan also stared at Xiao Fan in shock, her astonishment no less than Qiao Rong's.

Upon hearing this, Hu Rui was also stunned…

She hadn't noticed when they left earlier.

As for the other Disciples at the Spring Eye, they had just heard Sect Master Wu Xinjue tell them to leave and were scrambling to go; they only saw that Xiao Fan was fine and hadn't paid any attention to his arm.

Ji Bofeng saw that Xiao Fan's arm had regrown, and his expression immediately turned gloomy.

At the same time, he was shocked; could Limb Regrowth really be achieved in three days?

What kind of talent must one have to accomplish this!

All the remaining Disciples fixed their gazes on Xiao Fan; the shock on the faces of these Inner Sect Disciples was no less significant.

Completed Limb Regrowth in three days?

How is that possible!

And all while inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool…

Suddenly, some people seemed to think of something.

Limb Regrowth requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the other party's arm had just regrown.

Could it be!

Although they couldn't believe this thought, there was no other explanation.

That was that the spiritual energy had all been absorbed by Xiao Fan… although it was a bit far-fetched, as everyone knew how dense the spiritual energy in the Marrow Cleansing Pool was.

Yet, why was the other party's arm able to grow back?

Immediately, many people's expressions turned sullen, yet with Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian present, no one dared to speak up.

However, those pairs of suspicious, vicious eyes represented what they were thinking.

They wished they could tear Xiao Fan apart alive!

Feeling these malicious gazes, Xiao Fan was stunned.

Had he done something?

Why did it feel like he had enraged everyone?

He was completely baffled… could it be because Sect Master Wu Xinjue had kicked them out when he first advanced to the Tongtian Realm?

Why did it not feel like that…

Xiao Fan was suspicious, but he had no intention of paying attention to this group.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Three days have passed, everyone return."

The Disciples respectfully cupped their fists in a salute and turned to leave in low spirits.

Xiao Fan also prepared to leave, but was called back by Sect Master Wu Xinjue.

"Xiao Fan, stay behind."

The outer Disciples didn't know what had happened, but those who had been at the Spring Eye all cast sympathetic glances at Xiao Fan…

Thinking that Xiao Fan was done for…

The resentful look Sect Master Wu Xinjue had given Xiao Fan earlier was still fresh in their minds.

In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed.

The Opportunity of entering the Marrow Cleansing Pool this time could be considered ruined for them.

At the same time, after leaving the vicinity of the Marrow Cleansing Pool, they all started discussing.

What exactly caused the spiritual energy in the pool water to become so thin…

Eventually becoming like ordinary pool water.

Yet, there was no accurate answer.

Of course, the most common theory was that Xiao Fan had used up all the spiritual energy for his Limb Regrowth.

However, most people disagreed with this view.

After all, everyone knew how dense the spiritual energy in the pool water was; even if several experts of the Xuandan Realm came, it would be impossible to absorb it all.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian looked at Xiao Fan, expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

Xiao Fan cupped his fists and bowed to the two of them.

"Sect Master Wu, Sect Master Xu."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian usually had a smiling demeanor, and at this moment, he smiled even more brightly.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue also revealed a gratified smile, quite different from his usual stern expression.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue spoke up and asked directly, "The spiritual energy in the pool water was absorbed by you in such large quantities just now, why is that?"

Xiao Fan was stunned…

Was it absorbed in large quantities?

He didn't feel it.

However, he still answered truthfully, "Disciple is not sure, but when absorbing, besides myself, the Enlightenment Seed within my body was also absorbing on its own…"

Xiao Fan recounted the experience just now, without any falsehoods.

The two nodded, seemingly having figured something out.

The Enlightenment Seed, the reason it is called a seed…

Is to prove that it has great room for growth.

As for what it will eventually become, there are no records in ancient texts, so they didn't know either.

"Very good. This matter must not be mentioned to outsiders, do you understand?" Sect Master Wu Xinjue said.

Xiao Fan nodded and respectfully cupped his fists again.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian gave a few more instructions and asked Xiao Fan if there was anything he didn't understand regarding how to Cultivate.

"Previously, when I broke through to the Tongtian Realm, I felt it was incomparably difficult, I do not know the reason…"

Xiao Fan directly asked about the matter of his previous Breakthrough.

After all, he had planned to find an Opportunity to ask them, and as it turned out, they had taken the initiative to keep him behind.

It was just the right time to have them clear up his confusion.
