Chapter 431: Setting Off for Shengdan City

The Xiao Mansion was engulfed in raging flames…

It emitted a heroic glow, and the entire population of Jingchuan was drawn to this light…

However, not a single person went to put out the fire…

When Xiao Tian was on the rise, the Xiao Family had relied on Shou Yuanzhong to offend too many people in Jingchuan…

Moreover, with the Dragon Family around, everyone in all of Jingchuan kept their distance from the Xiao Family…

Furthermore, a mere fire was nothing to the Xiao Mansion.

How could a Cultivator be burned to death by fire?

This fire burned for an entire night without ever stopping…

Inside Jingchuan, everyone was puzzled; what kind of fire could burn all night without going out?

It wasn't until the next morning…

The sky had been clear, but suddenly a torrential downpour began…

It extinguished the fire at the Xiao Mansion…

Only then did everyone in Jingchuan feel that something was wrong…

The City Lord sent people to investigate the Xiao Family, and the result… the news that came back was that there were no survivors in the Xiao Mansion…

This matter instantly shocked the entire city of Jingchuan…

The Xiao Mansion had been wiped out…

…

On the other side.

Far away in the Jixian Sect, Xiao Fan naturally knew nothing of this.

He was in his Immortal Cave consolidating his cultivation.

He had five ancient artifacts in his possession. Wanxiang and the Enlightenment Seed had repeatedly sent Divine Thoughts expressing a desire to devour those artifacts, but Xiao Fan had refused them all…

If he were to devour the five ancient artifacts, Xiao Fan's cultivation would certainly increase greatly, and the commotion caused would be too large…

He wanted to find a more secluded place later to absorb them…

He needed to prepare to go to Shengdan City with Kong Ping in a few days…

The Sacred Pill Tower.

If it were truly as miraculous as Kong Ping had described, Xiao Fan felt he would definitely be able to successfully promote to a 3rd Grade Alchemist…

In these three days, Long Caiwei had not come to disturb him…

She would also be going to Shengdan City in a few days, and there would be plenty of time for them to spend together then.

Nangong Lingxuan had sent two messages, but she was only inquiring and nothing else.

Hu Rui had sent a message once…

Regarding the matter of Xiao Fan going to Shengdan City, Kong Ping had personally gone to find Sect Master Wu Xinjue… The latter had agreed.

At the same time, Sect Master Wu Xinjue was also amazed; he hadn't expected Xiao Fan to have such talent in the Alchemy path…

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for Kong Ping and the others to go to Shengdan City.

Xiao Fan left his Immortal Cave early in the morning. Just like last time, he casually put the Golden-Haired Lion into his spirit beast bag.

He didn't know how long this trip would take, and in case there were any delays…

The Golden-Haired Lion might starve to death…

Xiao Fan went directly to Danding Peak.

This was what Kong Ping had told him previously, to head to Danding Peak today.

Danding Peak was exceptionally lively today.

Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan were both there…

And those heading to Shengdan City this time were all Disciples of Danding Peak.

There was no assessment for the Disciples going to Shengdan City this time; any Disciple between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-five would go to try their luck for an Opportunity…

Otherwise, once they passed the age of twenty-five, they would never be able to enter the Sacred Pill Tower again.

As for other Disciples, if they wanted to participate, it was entirely voluntary.

As long as they wanted to go, they could request permission from Kong Ping.

In most cases, Kong Ping would agree to any Disciple who was willing to go.

For Alchemists, seeing more of the world was a good thing.

There were over a hundred Danding Peak Disciples setting off this time.

At the foot of Danding Peak, the guarding Disciples did not stop him… Xiao Fan went straight to the top of Danding Peak…

His reputation was now known to everyone in Danding Peak…

The Wood Alchemy method…

The Azure Flame Art that scammed the Ji Family…

And also being Long Caiwei's brother-in-law…

All sorts of titles, some of which even Xiao Fan himself didn't know about.

All the Disciples who were to go to Danding Peak were outside the main hall of Danding Peak…

Seeing Xiao Fan arrive, they immediately began to discuss him…

"This… Xiao Fan? Could it be that he is going too!"

"It looks like it… But he isn't one of our Danding Peak people. Is this within the rules?"

"Pah, is your Alchemy as good as his?"

"…"

Kong Ping looked at Xiao Fan and nodded slightly.

Jiang Yushan, who was to the side, was the same; his eyes were full of gratification as he looked at Xiao Fan.

This was the Disciple who had achieved Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed in his class!!

Xiao Fan cupped his hands and bowed to the two Elders, and Long Caiwei hopped right over and stood by his side.

Xiao Fan discovered that Warrior Feng was actually there too…

"Alright, let us set off…"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Kong Ping scanned his surroundings and spoke in a deep voice…

He tapped his Storage Pouch, and several streams of light flashed out from it, revealing themselves to be several Magical Artifact wooden boats…

Xiao Fan was dumbfounded, but he followed them onto the wooden boat.

There were six of these wooden boats in total, enough to accommodate everyone…

Seeing this display of wealth, Xiao Fan had to sigh once again that Alchemists were indeed wealthy and imposing…

What he didn't know was that these wooden boats were not Kong Ping's, but belonged to the Jixian Sect.

Every time a large number of Disciples were taken out, the Jixian Sect would be concerned about its reputation, especially when going to Shengdan City, so Kong Ping had borrowed the wooden boats.

Warrior Feng followed by Kong Ping's side…

During this time, Xiao Fan looked at him, but the latter intentionally avoided his gaze…

This made Xiao Fan unable to understand how a martial artist had mixed into this group of Alchemists.

Long Caiwei sat beside Xiao Fan, her large eyes blinking…

Xiao Fan looked at her and asked, "Why did Elder Feng come? Do you know?"

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't know, but Long Caiwei was Kong Ping's medicine boy, and she spent every day spinning around Kong Ping.

"A bodyguard…"
