Chapter 718: Xiao Fan, Do You Dare to Fight Me?

Xiao Fan and the others headed directly to the City Lord's Manor in Shengdan City.

Huangfu Cheng was still in the main hall organizing tasks; at this time, besides him, there were others present.

Ling Luo, a 5th-Grade Alchemist from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

Pill Master Lu Yongzhen, a 5th-Grade Alchemist from the Thunder Fire Sect.

Jiang Rushuang, a 5th-Grade Alchemist from Ziyun Cave Heaven.

They were all in the hall as well…

Besides them, there was one more person in the hall: 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, the Alchemist who had been hailed as the most monstrously talented Prodigy in Wuhuang Province before Xiao Fan appeared.

“It really is Xiao Fan, he’s actually still alive!” As soon as Xiao Fan appeared, Pill Master Lu Yongzhen cried out in surprise…

The others also looked on in shock, sizing Xiao Fan up. No one could have imagined that after the Secret Realm collapsed, this Xiao Fan would actually be unharmed!

Furthermore, his current cultivation had actually reached the eighth level of the Yuanhun Realm!

What kind of monster was this?

4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi's gaze toward Xiao Fan was filled with shock; her current cultivation was at the eighth level of the Xuandan Realm…

Back then, she had become a Grade 4 Alchemist before the age of thirty and possessed the strength of the Xuandan Realm, which had caused the people of Wuhuang Province to marvel!

But as for this Xiao Fan…

He had actually reached the eighth level of the Yuanhun Realm now!

“Greetings, Seniors!” Xiao Fan cupped his fists and smiled.

Nangong Lingxuan also bowed from the side. Wei Zhongshan was stunned for a moment; seeing his Big Brother calling them Seniors, he followed suit!

“Xiao Fan, what is your current level of Alchemy attainment?” Ling Luo asked, his eyes burning as he stared at Xiao Fan.

Back then, Xiao Fan had made a bet with his disciple, Lu Yueshan, and won her over to be his servant!

Now, Lu Yueshan was nearly at the Peak of a Grade 4 Alchemist.

“Uh… I don't know…” Xiao Fan's expression was a bit awkward. “Too many things happened after I entered the Secret Realm, and I rarely performed Alchemy after that.”

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly; after entering the Secret Realm, he had indeed neglected Alchemy.

The last time he had performed Alchemy was when he and Zhangsun Ning had first arrived in Yihuang Province; at that time, Xiao Fan had personally refined a grade 4 pill for her.

Everyone smiled bitterly… but they also knew there was no other way.

After all, being trapped in a Secret Realm, coming out alive was already a miracle. How could they demand so much?

Wei Zhongshan, standing behind Xiao Fan, was stunned… His Big Brother knew Alchemy too?

He recalled the conversations of the people earlier; it seemed his Big Brother… had another identity.

Afterward, Xiao Fan took a seat and chatted casually with the group…

During this time, Long Caiwei refused to leave no matter what, death-gripping Xiao Fan's arm. It didn't matter who tried to pull her away!

Xiao Fan was speechless and could only let her be.

When evening came, Huangfu Cheng ordered a banquet to be prepared to host Xiao Fan…

During the meal…

“Xiao Fan, while advancing your Realm is certainly important, your Alchemy attainment must not be neglected,” Huangfu Cheng said meaningfully.

“Mm… Senior is right.” Xiao Fan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “I estimate… I should be able to refine a grade 5 pill now… and in a few more years, a grade 6 pill should be about right…”

*Pfft* *Pfft* *Pfft*

At the dinner table, several 5th-Grade Alchemists lost their composure… Those who were drinking all choked, and they all turned to look at him with shocked eyes.

Didn't you just say that you had barely performed Alchemy these past few years and had neglected it?

How did you suddenly reach the level of a 5th-Grade Alchemist?

And you're going to reach grade 6 in a few more years?

“Uh… don't be so surprised…” Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then explained, “I went to Yihuang Province, where they even sell grade 6 pills. I've seen them, and… my Alchemy techniques are rather special.”

Xiao Fan smiled; he had the Spirit Protection Technique.

Back then, his Alchemy was limited because his spiritual power was insufficient, but now he was at the eighth level of the Yuanhun Realm!

Using the Spirit Protection Technique for Alchemy would surely yield twice the result with half the effort!

“So that's how it is…”

The surrounding 5th-Grade Alchemists all looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.

Jiang Yushan was also at the table… Normally, his qualifications would have been sufficient.

But he happened to be Xiao Fan's introductory teacher, and he was also Jiang Rushuang's biological brother…

Long Caiwei gripped Xiao Fan's arm; even while eating, she wouldn't let go.

Seeing Long Caiwei like this, Nangong Lingxuan's expression returned to its initial state—cold as frost!

Wei Zhongshan marveled; his Big Brother was truly incredible, even able to refine a grade 5 pill!!

Half a quarter of an hour later…

A streak of light flew over at extreme speed, brimming with Killing Intent!

“Xiao Fan… do you dare to fight me!”

This was a woman, dressed in the black robes of a 4th-Grade Alchemist, with beautiful features… The newcomer was Lu Yueshan.

“Uh?” Xiao Fan was stunned. Why had this woman come? His own maidservant!

Nangong Lingxuan also recognized who this was; she had seen her at Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave before, and the other woman had even brewed tea for her!

Wei Zhongshan was dumbfounded… Why for no reason did a woman come to challenge his Big Brother?

But who was he? He was his Big Brother's follower, and he immediately stood up with boiling intent to kill!

“A mere Xuandan Realm dares to challenge my Big Brother? You'll have to get past me, Wei Zhongshan, first!”

Wei Zhongshan's Killing Intent seethed; if he struck, one palm would definitely slap Lu Yueshan to death!

A Pi Hai Realm fighting a Xuandan Realm?

Even when Xiao Fan was in the Xuandan Realm, he couldn't beat a Pi Hai Realm…

In an instant, Wei Zhongshan released the Aura of a Pi Hai Realm, pressing down on Lu Yueshan!

“Uh…”

The scene was a bit awkward. Huangfu Cheng and the others already knew Wei Zhongshan's identity—a Pi Hai Realm expert and Xiao Fan's follower!

As a result… as soon as Lu Yueshan arrived, how did the atmosphere change so much?

“Zhongshan, stand down…” Xiao Fan was speechless.
