Immortal Refiner Chapter 342: Lu Fan’s Revenge

Translator: AnubisTL

A violent surge of spiritual pressure erupted from Stream Cloud Pavilion.

Boom!

In an instant, it drew the attention of countless disciples nearby.

"What’s that?! Soone’s attempting foundation establishnt?!"

"Impossible! I haven’t heard of anyone obtaining a foundation establishnt pill recently!"

"Hiss! Could soone be trying to force their way through without a pill?!"

Many qi refining disciples gasped, deeply shaken by the sheer audacity of such an attempt.

"Who would dare take such a reckless gamble?"

"That’s foolish! Trying to establish a foundation without a pill—unless you have a Heavenly Spirit Root, this is practically suicide!"

"Well, it’s not entirely hopeless. Back in ancient tis, before foundation establishnt pills were invented, people still managed to establish their foundations, didn’t they?"

Despite these words, within the vast Lingyun Sect, with its countless qi refining disciples, few would dare attempt foundation establishnt without a pill.

After all, they had joined an immortal sect. Even if earning contribution points was slow, as long as they persevered, they would eventually have a good chance of obtaining a foundation establishnt pill in their lifeti.

Rashly attempting foundation establishnt was like pushing oneself to the edge of a cliff—success ant survival, failure ant certain death!

And the odds of failure were overwhelming; calling it a nine-deaths-to-one-chance situation wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

As more disciples gathered to watch, soone finally recognized the person attempting foundation establishnt.

"This courtyard... it looks like Lu Fan’s!"

"So it’s him? No wonder. That reckless brute would do sothing like this."

"He must have been driven to desperation to take such a gamble. I heard his situation in the Ice Prison wasn’t good."

"What a pity. I clearly rember how full of vigor Lu Fan was at the ascension conference."

"..."

Almost no one believed Lu Fan would succeed. They saw his attempt at foundation establishnt as a dood endeavor.

After all, Lu Fan’s usual deanor was that of an impulsive, hot-headed brute who easily lost his temper.

It was only natural for such a rough-edged man, cornered and desperate, to force his way into foundation establishnt.

Even with the aid of a foundation establishnt pill, Lu Fan had failed to reach the foundation establishnt realm before. Now, without the pill’s assistance, his chances were terrifyingly slim.

As ti passed, news of Lu Fan’s forced foundation establishnt attempt spread like wildfire, causing a major stir within the Lingyun Sect.

However, reactions to the news varied greatly.

So admired Lu Fan’s daring, his willingness to burn his bridges and gamble everything.

Others were skeptical, deeming his actions reckless and impulsive.

Zheng Donghe was initially stunned by the news, but his face quickly twisted into a sneer.

"Heh, a cornered dog will bite. Trying to achieve foundation establishnt without a foundation establishnt pill? If it were that easy, wouldn’t everyone be in the foundation establishnt realm by now?"

He imagined Lu Fan’s failure: the regret, the mana surging back and rupturing his ridians, his body exploding from the backlash.

Zheng Donghe felt no remorse, only malicious glee, eagerly anticipating that very outco.

anwhile, inside the Ice Prison:

"Where’s that Lu Fan brat? It’s already this late, and he still hasn’t shown up at the Ice Prison?!"

"Does he think he can just avoid coming here and everything will be fine? How naive!"

News always traveled slowly within the Ice Prison.

Senior Brother Lin, the prison warden, smirked, unable to resist mocking, "If that’s true, we’ll report this to the sect and have him thrown into the Ice Prison for a while."

"Heh, I heard that kid’s a body refinent cultivator. Maybe we can use this opportunity to pry that body refinent technique out of him."

"Once he’s in the Ice Prison, we’ll be the ones calling the shots."

The disciples exchanged gleeful remarks, but their conversation was abruptly interrupted when a guard rushed into the prison.

"Major news! Lu Fan is attempting foundation establishnt!"

Senior Brother Lin and the others froze, their faces etched with disbelief.

"How is that possible? Where did he get a foundation establishnt pill?!"

"How could he have obtained a second foundation establishnt pill in such a short ti?"

"Junior Brother He, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"

"..."

Junior Brother He, who had brought the news, forced a wry smile. "No mistake. Everyone outside is talking about it!"

"Though it seems Lu Fan isn’t using a foundation establishnt pill. He’s attempting foundation establishnt solely through his own efforts."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Lin and the others breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"To attempt foundation establishnt without a foundation establishnt pill? He’s truly reckless."

"He’s like a gambler who’s lost everything and is desperate for a win. There’s no rationality left in him."

"I thought he’d obtained a second foundation establishnt pill, but this is just foolish."

"..."

Amidst the widespread ridicule and scorn, Lu Fan’s determination to achieve foundation establishnt remained unwavering.

Everyone assud he lacked a second foundation establishnt pill, unaware that he had actually traded for one from Li Qing.

His actions weren’t a reckless gamble with his life, but a calculated move.

This ti, he would succeed in foundation establishnt!

Having failed once before, Lu Fan’s resolve burned with unshakeable conviction. He was certain he would succeed this ti.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a small-scale spiritual energy tide erupted from Lu Fan’s courtyard.

Clouds swirled and parted as the qi refining disciples who had gathered to observe stared in wide-eyed awe.

They clearly sensed a formidable aura rising steadily, growing increasingly intense and radiating a faint sense of oppressive power.

Each person wore an expression of disbelief, their eyes wide with shock, and so even began to breathe rapidly.

Was Lu Fan actually about to succeed in his foundation establishnt attempt?!

"Impossible! How could he succeed without a foundation establishnt pill?!"

"He hasn’t taken a foundation establishnt pill, and he doesn’t have a Heavenly Spirit Root. He only has Three Spirit Roots!"

"Is this man trying to revive the glory of the ancient ascetic cultivators?"

"Hiss... Is he really going to succeed?!"

"This is a miracle on par with Elder Li Qing’s achievent—achieving foundation establishnt without relying on a foundation establishnt pill!"

"I don’t believe it! Lu Fan must have obtained a foundation establishnt pill through so hidden channel. How else could he possibly succeed?!"

"..."

Amidst the clamor, Lu Fan’s aura suddenly surged again, finally stabilizing.

"ROAR!"

A primal, beast-like roar echoed through the heavens, reverberating across the entire Stream Cloud Pavilion region.

The roar carried exhilaration and triumphant spirit!

"Hahahaha! I’ve finally achieved foundation establishnt!"

Bang!

Too impatient to consolidate his realm or stabilize his aura, Lu Fan kicked his courtyard gate flying open. Before the assembled disciples, he soared into the air, brazenly unleashing the overwhelming pressure unique to foundation establishnt cultivators.

"Congratulations, Elder Lu Fan..."

The disciples’ words trailed off as they realized Lu Fan wasn’t here to flaunt his achievent. He didn’t even glance at them before swiftly departing on his magic artifact.

"Where is Elder Lu Fan going?"

"Why the rush? Is there so urgent matter?"

Soon, soone recognized the direction Lu Fan was heading.

"That’s the Ice Prison!"

"But Elder Lu Fan is already a foundation establishnt elder. He doesn’t need to serve at the Ice Prison anymore."

"Rumor has it he suffered great humiliation there. This could be a major incident."

"Quick, follow him! This is going to be good!"

The disciples’ excitent erupted instantly. Forgetting everything else, they surged forward, eager to witness the spectacle at the Ice Prison.

This was beyond outrageous! Instead of consolidating his cultivation after foundation establishnt or accepting congratulations, he was imdiately seeking to settle old scores.

Such a dramatic showdown was too thrilling to miss!

Accustod to the sect’s tranquil routines, they rarely witnessed such a spectacle. Naturally, they couldn’t bear to miss this opportunity.

Inside the Ice Prison, Senior Brother Lin and his group, who had been waiting for news of Lu Fan’s failed foundation establishnt, maintained an air of smug complacency.

However, their expressions soon shifted as they sensed a formidable aura rapidly approaching.

"Greetings, Elder!"

"Elder."

"What? Lu Fan?!"

Before they could finish speaking, Lu Fan strode into the bone-chilling Ice Prison and delivered a swift, resounding slap.

Slap!

"Disrespectful! How dare you address an elder by na?"

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Senior Brother Lin didn’t even have ti to react before Lu Fan’s resounding slaps landed on his face.

Lu Fan was no ordinary disciple. His mastery of body arts had earned even Li Qing’s admiration, and he cultivated the Brahma King True Body. These slaps left Senior Brother Lin with a swollen, bruised face, his cheeks burning crimson.

"You! Lu Fan, you’ve gone too far!" Senior Brother Lin stood frozen, trembling with rage.

The Lu Fan he had always looked down on was now slapping him across the face. Just yesterday, Lu Fan had been a new disciple he could bully at will.

This sudden reversal of roles left him utterly stunned.

"Still defiant, seeking death!" Lu Fan roared, his hand arcing through the air for another strike.

Slap!

This ti, several of Senior Brother Lin’s teeth flew out, blood splattering across the ground.

The other disciples froze in terror, not daring to move a muscle, lest they provoke this fearso figure.

"Speak! Who ordered you to put in the deepest part of the Ice Prison?!" Lu Fan glared fiercely at the remaining guards, his eyes burning with a hint of violence, as if he might continue slapping them at the slightest provocation.

Though impulsive and reckless, Lu Fan wasn’t foolish. He knew his revenge needed a legitimate pretext. He understood Zheng Donghe was behind everything, but he needed a justification and knew he must never implicate Li Qing.

That’s why he had co to the Ice Prison—to pry the truth from these n’s lips.

The remaining guards dared not conceal anything. They didn’t even dare et Lu Fan’s gaze, terrified of being devoured alive by his terrifying glare.

"It was... it was Senior Brother Zheng! Senior Brother Zheng Donghe ordered us to do it!"

Lu Fan smirked, his divine sense expanding to detect a crowd of disciples flying toward them, drawn by the spectacle.

"Audacious! How dare you fra others and sar my most respected Senior Brother Zheng with your filth!"

"Look at this man’s true colors, everyone! He claims Senior Brother Zheng Donghe conspired with them to fra !"

"Senior Brother Zheng Donghe and I have no grievances. Why would he do such a thing?!"

With that, Lu Fan seized the remaining disciples and began slapping them rcilessly.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The crisp, resounding slaps echoed through the air.

"We’re not lying! We swear on our lives and our Dao! Senior Brother Zheng Donghe ordered us to do this!"

"If you don’t believe us, ask Senior Brother Lin when he wakes up, Elder Lu Fan! We wouldn’t dare lie to you!"

"Waaah! Elder Lu Fan, we were wrong! Please, master, show us rcy and forgive us!"

Only after hearing these pleas did Lu Fan finally stop, his face now satisfied.

Now he had a legitimate reason to confront Zheng Donghe. He feigned a sigh and said:

"Such a thing? How could Senior Brother Zheng Donghe do this to ? I still can’t believe it!"

"I must get to the bottom of this with Senior Brother Zheng Donghe. If this turns out to be false, you will face the full wrath of this elder!"

"Senior Brother Zheng Donghe... I refuse to believe he’s such a hypocritical scoundrel."

With these words, Lu Fan soared into the sky once more, charging toward Zheng Donghe’s residence with a ferocious montum. He looked less like soone seeking answers and more like a vengeful predator hunting his prey!
