Chapter 338: Plan

Xiao Fan did not hesitate at all and gave his answer.

He had to go to the Imperial Capital.

Even though Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian had promised that the Jixian Sect would help him bid for the items he needed when the time came.

But he also wanted to go in person.

When it came to the eight gods spirit blood, he did not want to rely on anyone else.

Sect Master Xu Yongnian and Sect Master Wu Xinjue exchanged a glance… and hesitated for a moment.

Sect Master Xu Yongnian said, "You don't have to take the risk. What you want is the eight gods spirit blood; the Sect doesn't have this item, and the eight gods spirit monkey hasn't appeared for many years… If you need it, the Sect can help you bid for it in three months."

Sect Master Wu Xinjue nodded slightly, remaining silent, his gaze fixed on Xiao Fan.

They did not ask Xiao Fan what he needed the eight gods spirit blood for.

Everyone has secrets, and the more secrets Xiao Fan had, the better.

Because only then could he go further and become stronger.

Xiao Fan cupped his hands in a salute to the two of them…

However, his resolve would not waver.

"Thank you, Sect Masters, but I still intend to go to the Imperial City in person."

The two nodded slightly and did not stop him.

Although they did not want Xiao Fan to go in person, they would also feel disappointed if Xiao Fan truly chose not to go.

Someone who is timid and cowardly, relying on others for everything.

Such a person could never become a powerhouse.

"Since your mind is made up, we will not stop you."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian sighed and said, "When the auction begins in three months, the Imperial City's defenses will be very strict, so there shouldn't be any major incidents within the city…"

"When the time comes, the Sect will send a few Elders to go there a few days in advance; you just need to accompany them."

Xiao Fan nodded and cupped his hands in thanks…

He did not refuse this; he had never been to the Imperial City before.

Being able to travel with the Jixian Sect Elders was convenient, and secondly, it was safe.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian chatted in Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave for a long time, and half an hour later, the two left.

Xiao Fan had now joined the Inner Sect.

The Jixian Sect's Outer Sect was different from the Inner Sect; the Outer Sect was a mixture of dragons and snakes, with over a hundred thousand Utility Disciples alone…

There were also tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, and there were certainly spies from other Sects mixed among them.

This was known without even needing an investigation.

However, the Inner Sect was different; the background of every Inner Sect Disciple would be investigated in detail.

After all, the Jixian Sect's Inner Sect Disciples were considered the core of the Sect.

Unless they were secret spies planted by enemy forces for many years.

Although the Jixian Sect had made great efforts to hide the fact that Xiao Fan possessed an Enlightenment Seed.

But there is no such thing as an airtight wall in the world.

Sooner or later, it would be discovered.

Back when Xiao Fan was Awakening his Enlightenment Seed, there were over ten thousand Disciples who witnessed it, and although they had been threatened by Sect Master Xu Yongnian…

Over time, that fear might fade.

And that heaven-reaching blue pillar phenomenon probably couldn't be hidden either.

Xiao Fan's identity being exposed was only a matter of time, or rather, it was already remarkable that it had been kept hidden for so long!

One could only hope that he could grow rapidly before the hostile Sects targeted him…

Xiao Fan could somewhat understand the thoughts of Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian.

The Enlightenment Seed was a blessing, but also a curse.

And just one Enlightenment Seed could cause such a stir…

Xiao Fan dared not imagine what would happen if the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Chart inside him were leaked…

What kind of scene that would be.

I am afraid that at that time, his life would no longer be his own.

After sending the two off, Xiao Fan let out a breath and returned to the Secret Room.

"Three months… It seems that increasing my strength is more important."

Xiao Fan sighed; originally, he had placed Alchemy as his top priority.

But according to what the two had said, his trip to the Imperial City this time would be dangerous.

Even with Jixian Sect Elders going along, it would still be very dangerous for him.

If the matter of him Awakening the Enlightenment Seed really leaked out.

And other Sects found out, those Sects would not pass up such a good opportunity to kill him.

It was even possible that they might join forces to kill him.

As for why Sect Master Wu Xinjue and Sect Master Xu Yongnian knew he was going to the Imperial City…

There was no need to think about such a naive question.

When he previously went to Xiluo City to carry out a mission, the Sect had also sent He Yutang and Elder Shi Ji to protect him in secret.

At that time, he knew that there must be someone in the Sect monitoring his whereabouts.

Of course, this was not a bad thing.

Always staying in the Jixian Sect was actually quite stifling; he had also thought about occasionally carrying out a mission to go out and take a look.

But he did not want to cause any trouble for the Sect, so he had been enduring it.

"Before heading to the Imperial City, I must raise my strength to at least the fourth level of the Tongtian Realm…"

"As for Alchemy attainment… just touching the threshold of the third grade will suffice."

Compared to improving his Alchemy attainment, his life was more important.

If he obtained the eight gods spirit blood… but lost his life because his strength was insufficient, that would be very unwise.

After planning all this, Xiao Fan exhaled, his Divine Soul entered the star chart, and he began Alchemy and Cultivation…
