Chapter 319: Zhenyu Peak

Xiao Fan knew nothing about these matters, but he could guess that the Ji Family would certainly not let the matter rest.

But… he had nothing to fear; after all, the Jixian Sect was not to be trifled with.

If he could still encounter danger within the Jixian Sect, then hiding anywhere else would be useless.

Furthermore, with Sect Master Wu Xinjue and the others around, it was impossible for them to just watch idly while something happened to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan practiced Alchemy day and night within the star chart.

Moreover, this time he did not continue to use Top-Grade Spirit Stones for his Alchemy.

Instead, he used the Azure Flame Art, the top-tier Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique in Wuhuang Province.

Using it for Alchemy could be described as getting twice the result with half the effort, and the heat it emitted was even stronger than that of Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

It was also much easier to control.

After all, when using Spirit Stones for Alchemy, Xiao Fan had to use Top-Grade Spirit Stones of different attributes to control whether the fire was large or small.

In Alchemy, the two most difficult aspects were, first, pharmacology: understanding the attributes of all Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine, the timing for putting them into the furnace, and so on…

The second point was the control of the fire.

Pharmacology could only be improved by learning slowly and accumulating experience bit by bit; even though Xiao Fan possessed an Enlightenment Seed, he still had to learn, only he learned faster than ordinary people.

However, in terms of controlling the fire, Xiao Fan had now reached an astonishing level.

Even 3rd Grade Alchemists or Grade 4 Alchemists might not necessarily match his control over the fire.

Using Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stones to ignite and control the fire had contributed greatly to his understanding of fire.

Three days passed… inside the Secret Room.

Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes; although he was exhausted, he could not hide his joy.

"I can now refine high-grade 2nd Grade Medicinal Pills…"

Xiao Fan was overjoyed; if the speed at which his Alchemy attainments were improving were to get out, it would probably infuriate most Alchemists…

Under normal circumstances, if he had continued to use Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stones for Alchemy, Xiao Fan's Alchemy attainments would have improved, but certainly not this quickly.

But after learning the Azure Flame Art, he had become increasingly proficient in controlling the fire.

Even if he was unfamiliar with pharmacology and made mistakes in timing, his mastery of the fire could greatly compensate for these deficiencies.

Xiao Fan exhaled and changed into a clean purple robe… Today was the lecture by Elder Shi Pin at Zhenyu Peak.

The location was at Zhenyu Peak.

Xiao Fan intended to go and listen.

He had a very good impression of Elder Shi Pin, and the same went for Elder Shi Ji of the Outer Sect; when he was in Xiluo City, she had even saved him.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan was still particularly fond of the so-called Eighth Killing Array.

A Formation that could severely injure someone in the Pi Hai Realm! Just how powerful was it?

"Nangong Lingxuan is also at Zhenyu Peak; I wonder if I can run into her."

Xiao Fan muttered, then exited his Immortal Cave.

Recently, he had not seen Nangong Lingxuan, Hu Rui, or the others.

The former had joined Zhenyu Peak, while the latter had joined Wudao Peak.

And Qiao Rong… Xiao Fan had not seen her since entering. She was very mysterious.

Following the location recorded in the Jade Slip, Xiao Fan headed straight for Zhenyu Peak.

Zhenyu Peak. It was tall, towering, majestic, and vast…

Similar to Danding Peak, over a dozen mountain peaks were connected, and the peak in the middle, standing tens of thousands of feet tall, was the main peak of Zhenyu Peak.

However, just as Xiao Fan entered the vicinity of Zhenyu Peak, he sensed something different.

"This feeling… is very similar to the mountain gate of the Jixian Sect."

Xiao Fan muttered… every time he entered the Jixian Sect, he had to pass through the outer mountain gate.

That mountain gate had several restrictions; upon entry, it would scan the Physical Body to verify the visitor's identity.

And just now, when Xiao Fan stepped into the vicinity of Zhenyu Peak, he clearly felt the sensation of Divine Sense scanning his entire body.

Although the duration was very brief. So brief that it would normally be ignored. Yet, Xiao Fan still detected it.

"Indeed, it is not simple."

Xiao Fan said to himself and continued walking. It was normal for Zhenyu Peak to have some unique and superior methods.

The Lecture Hall of Zhenyu Peak was also at the foot of the mountain. Its structure was no different from that of Danding Peak.

After Xiao Fan stepped into the hall, he was immediately stunned… because eighty percent of the people here were female Disciples…

"Could it be that those who learn Formations are all women…"

Xiao Fan muttered; at this moment, there were over a thousand people in the hall. More than eight hundred were women… and each of them looked quite good.

"Xiao Fan!" At this moment, a woman called out from within the hall. Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Fan looked over.

"Nangong." That's right, this woman was none other than Nangong Lingxuan.

Nangong Lingxuan had an icy expression and was straight-faced as usual… Her personality had always been like this; even after joining Zhenyu Peak, it remained the same.

She walked over with small, graceful steps, dressed in the purple robe of a Jixian Sect Inner Sect Disciple, with a Bagua pattern on her chest…

Xiao Fan also smiled and went up to meet her. "Why are you here?" Nangong Lingxuan asked; although her expression was cold, her tone was very gentle.

"Of course, I came to attend the lecture. How have you been lately?" Xiao Fan asked.

Nangong Lingxuan nodded: "Not bad. And you…"

"I'm doing alright too; I recently earned some more Spirit Stones…"

"Did you go robbing again?"

"No… how could I be that kind of person."

"Your cultivation has improved…"

"It's alright, just luck…"

"…" The two of them chatted back and forth… they looked exactly like old acquaintances.

The Inner Sect Disciples who had just been promoted this year saw the two standing together, and their expressions immediately became strange.

This pair had robbed countless people back in the Secret Realm…

As for the other Disciples who didn't know the situation, the female Disciples were fine and had no reaction, merely curious about who Xiao Fan was.

However, the male Disciples looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of envy and jealousy. After all, Nangong Lingxuan was beautiful and moving, too eye-catching for men.

Meanwhile, the Disciples within Zhenyu Peak had very strange expressions. Both men and women were the same.

Nangong Lingxuan had a cold personality and was not sociable. After joining Zhenyu Peak, she had the same problem.

Only a few people got along with her reasonably well. Among them, many male Disciples of Zhenyu Peak looked at Xiao Fan with eyes spitting fire… These were naturally the young men who had designs on Nangong Lingxuan.
