Chapter 317: The Ji Family’s Rage

Without a word, Xiao Fan bowed to Sect Master Wu Xinjue, Sect Master Xu Yongnian, and Kong Ping, then turned and left…

Patriarch Ji Zhen, who remained in the main hall, was also feeling immense heartache…

Six hundred thousand Spirit Stones…

Even for the Ji Family, it was not a small sum.

Moreover, this money couldn't all come from the Ji Family's treasury; only a small portion could be taken from there, and he would have to bear the bulk of it himself.

After all, it was his grandson who had caused this disaster.

Patriarch Ji Zhen exhaled; now that the Azure Flame Art had been recovered, he had no reason to stay.

After sending a few voice transmissions to Ji Bofeng, he took his leave from Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others.

Upon hearing the voice transmission from Patriarch Ji Zhen, Ji Bofeng's face turned pale…

He took a deep look at his grandfather and remained silent…

Sect Master Xu Yongnian saw Patriarch Ji Zhen out of the Jixian Sect…

Ji Bofeng also left the main hall, his thoughts unknown.

Inside the main hall.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Kong Ping looked at each other and gave helpless, bitter smiles.

Neither of them had expected Xiao Fan to be so ruthless…

Good heavens.

He sold the Ji Family's own Cultivation Technique back to them for six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

If they knew that Xiao Fan had already learned the Azure Flame Art…

They would likely be even more shocked; it was a total swindle…

The Ji Family had suffered a massive loss.

…

On the other side.

After leaving, Xiao Fan went straight back to his Immortal Cave.

He was in a great mood.

He had easily earned six hundred thousand Spirit Stones without doing anything at all.

"Not bad, not bad… the Ji Family truly are good people."

Xiao Fan returned to his Secret Room in high spirits, even forgetting how Ji Bofeng's grandfather had looked down on him at the beginning.

The other party had just handed over six hundred thousand Spirit Stones for nothing.

Making money was simply too easy.

"I was thinking before that places like the Secret Realm don't appear often, so what would I do if I ran out of Spirit Stones… but as it turns out, this Ji Family consists of such good people…"

Xiao Fan lamented for a while, unable to suppress his excitement.

Six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Even if one were to combine Jingchuan City and a dozen surrounding small cities, they probably couldn't scrape together six hundred thousand.

Furthermore, he still had four hundred thousand Spirit Stones on him, along with many looted Magical Artifacts, Materials, Medicinal Pills, and so on.

Currently, Xiao Fan had one million Spirit Stones alone.

And that wasn't even counting his other assets.

He could definitely be considered a wealthy man.

He didn't yet realize that his current net worth was such that not only those in the Xuandan Realm, but even ordinary Yuanhun Realm experts might not be as rich as him.

"A pity these Spirit Stones aren't useful for my Cultivation."

Xiao Fan sighed; there were so many resources inside the star chart that he didn't need these at all.

Money was just a number…

After calming his emotions, Xiao Fan closed his eyes in the Secret Room.

His Divine Soul entered the star chart.

He consumed some of the 4th Grade Medicinal Pills inside, as well as the yiqi pills he had refined himself.

Although these Medicinal Pills had lost some of their potency, they still had at least half of their efficacy.

As for the Nine Yang Pills he had obtained from Kong Ping, he didn't plan on taking them for now.

After consuming the Medicinal Pills, Xiao Fan's Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body.

The Aura on his body was steadily rising.

He had been at the Middle Stage of the 1st level of the Tongtian Realm for a long time.

Daily Alchemy during this period had also been an excellent way to temper his spiritual power.

He could now Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the 1st level of the Tongtian Realm.

The Aura on his body gradually intensified.

Breaking through to the Late Stage of the 1st level of the Tongtian Realm was only a matter of time.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Aura on Xiao Fan's body stabilized.

His cultivation had risen to the Late Stage of the 1st level of the Tongtian Realm.

Moreover, the growth of his Aura hadn't stopped yet.

Another half an hour passed.

His Aura finally stopped increasing.

His cultivation…

1st level of the Tongtian Realm, Great Perfection.

Xiao Fan took a moment and opened his eyes.

Because of the Breakthrough, the Secret Room was a bit of a mess.

However, it wasn't too serious…

After all, it was only a minor stage Breakthrough, so the commotion wasn't large.

Xiao Fan exhaled, clenched his fists, and sensed his current strength.

"It's increased by about another twenty percent; I wonder exactly how strong I am now."

Xiao Fan murmured to himself, a look of joy appearing on his face.

Then, his Divine Soul entered the star chart once again.

He wanted to continue Alchemy…

To reach the rank of a 3rd Grade Alchemist as soon as possible.

So that he could refine the heaven mending pill.

…

Ji Bofeng returned to his Immortal Cave with a grim expression.

He felt extremely depressed…

His grandfather had sent him a voice transmission before leaving.

Telling him to monitor Xiao Fan's movements; if the other party left the Jixian Sect…

Then he was to inform the Family.

As for what they would do, Patriarch Ji Zhen didn't say.

But one didn't need to guess to know it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

Xiao Fan had caused the Ji Family to suffer such a massive loss; this was no longer just a personal grudge between Ji Bofeng and Xiao Fan.

It would be a lie to say Ji Bofeng didn't hate Xiao Fan.

He also wanted Xiao Fan dead.

But the other's status in the Jixian Sect was too strange.

The strangeness lay in the fact that while he clearly received the same treatment as other Disciples, the attitude of all the Elders towards him was unique.

After all, Ji Bofeng had seen with his own eyes the heads of the four peaks fighting over Xiao Fan.

If Xiao Fan really died…

The Sect would surely investigate vigorously, and if it led back to him…

Ji Bofeng felt troubled.

Three hours later, Ji Bofeng decided to speak frankly.

He took out the communication jade slip for Patriarch Ji Zhen.

He informed the other of all the various anomalies he had discovered about Xiao Fan within the Jixian Sect.

Including…

Being number one in the Outer Sect.

Injuring an Outer Sect Deacon at the 2nd level of the Tongtian Realm and getting away scot-free.

Snatching tokens in the Secret Realm.

The heads of the four peaks competing for him simultaneously.

Performing Alchemy at Danding Peak…

He even mentioned the fact that Kong Ping's medicine boy, Long Caiwei, called him brother-in-law.

He informed the Family of all this; as for what to do in the end…

He would let the Family consider it for themselves…

He had a certain premonition that if the Ji Family truly targeted Xiao Fan…

Then his Ji Family would be at risk of extinction.
