"Insolent brat!"
The mont Qin Fan finished his flippant, arrogant words, an elder behind Yao Junxian pointed at him and shouted as if facing a great enemy.
In that instant, everyone's expression changed dramatically.
Spiritual dicine Garden? Damn it! How does this bastard know that dicine Valley even has such a place?
SWOOSH!
In the next second, everyone snapped their heads toward the two dicine Valley mbers who had previously fought Qin Fan.
"I—I didn't say anything, I really didn't!"
" neither!"
Under those strange glares, the two unlucky n frantically explained in a panic. They didn't dare ntion "dicine Valley" to outsiders, let alone the Spiritual dicine Garden! As for how Qin Fan knew... they had no idea. Truly.
"Alright, enough yapping," Qin Fan said, his lips curling into a sneer as he looked at Yao Junxian. "To put it simply, Old Yao, how about you lend it to for a while?"
"And what if I say no?" Yao Junxian's face darkened as he snorted.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to force my way in," Qin Fan taunted nonchalantly. "Anyone who blocks dies."
He had to have the Spiritual dicine Garden!
"Indeed, you killed Lan Xiaosheng, so you certainly have the grounds to be arrogant! But do you really think dicine Valley is defenseless?" Yao Junxian snarled, grinding his teeth in the face of Qin Fan's overpowering arrogance.
"You? Or all of you?" Qin Fan shook his head, disdainfully pointing his finger and making a circle. "You're no match for ."
"If you leave now, our dicine Valley can pretend this never happened! But if you dare to force your way in, I guarantee you won't leave here alive! With the cultivation you used to kill Lan Xiaosheng, you've earned the right to be arrogant. But if you keep making a scene because you don't know what's good for you... heh," Yao Junxian snorted coldly.
"I know. I can feel them. There are several powerful auras in here, even stronger than Lan Xiaosheng's. But they're in seclusion, aren't they? And let's take a step back—even if they weren't, so what? If I can't leave dicine Valley alive, what about you all? Do you think you'd survive? If I die, the entire dicine Valley is coming with . This isn't a threat. I'm stating a fact. Today, you will lend the Spiritual dicine Garden. Whether you want to or not."
As he finished speaking, the aura of Qin Fan's Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation erupted from him without reservation.
"You, you, you! Bastard!" Overwheld by Qin Fan's extre ultimatum, Yao Junxian could no longer contain his rage.
Yes, he was at the Middle Stage of the Transformation Realm. And yes, several of his elders had the strength of the Initial Stage of the Transformation Realm. But their strength, untested by true life-or-death battles, was just as weak as Qin Fan claid for their rank. If a fight broke out, how many of them would survive? Could they really withstand this freak of nature who had so easily slaughtered a master at the Great Success of the Transformation Realm and walked away unhard?
Yao Junxian didn't know.
Qin Fan's words struck his weakest point. The few Valley Guardian Elders with truly formidable cultivation were, indeed, in seclusion. It wasn't realistic to expect them to erge now to deal with Qin Fan.
But to simply let Qin Fan enter the Spiritual dicine Garden, the most forbidden place in dicine Valley? Impossible!
"The strong prey on the weak! It's the immutable law of survival," Qin Fan laughed arrogantly. "And I've already told you! Today, you will lend it to whether you want to or not!"
With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and began walking leisurely toward Yao Junxian and the others.
"Valley Master!" Seeing Qin Fan's unyielding determination to force his way in, the crowd cried out in alarm to Yao Junxian.
"Anyone who blocks dies!"
Without waiting for Yao Junxian's response, Qin Fan spat out the words with an overwhelming montum. His aura surged forth once more.
Faced with an imposing pressure they felt was utterly insurmountable, Yao Junxian faltered. His intuition told him that those words, "Anyone who blocks dies," were not a joke.
"Let him in!" Yao Junxian forced the words through his clenched teeth, his heart aching.
"Valley Master!"
Everyone's eyes flew wide in disbelief. They couldn't believe Yao Junxian would say such a thing. Let this nace waltz in and cause chaos? That was the Spiritual dicine Garden, the most sacred forbidden ground in all of dicine Valley!
"I said, let him in!" Watching Qin Fan's unhurried steps draw ever closer, Yao Junxian repeated the order, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached.
More than anyone, he wanted to see Qin Fan put down for good right here. But he couldn't risk Qin Fan taking the entire dicine Valley down with him. Even though he knew Qin Fan likely wouldn't choose mutual destruction, he knew deep down that it was a risk he couldn't afford to take. It was a bet he dared not make.
At Yao Junxian's second command, the Elders and other mbers of dicine Valley reluctantly moved aside. Yet every single one of them stared at Qin Fan with a furious hatred that burned to its very core. If looks could kill, Qin Fan would have already been sliced into a thousand pieces, with not even his bones remaining.
"Valley Master Yao, a wise choice. Thanks for that," Qin Fan said with a light chuckle as he walked past him.
"Wait!"
However, just as Qin Fan was about to take another step, Yao Junxian suddenly spun around and called out.
"What is it?" Qin Fan paused, his back still to Yao Junxian.
"The Longevity Furnace is with you, isn't it? Could you lend it to dicine Valley for a ti? We'll return it to you when you co out of the Spiritual dicine Garden. Since you know of the Spiritual dicine Garden, you must understand what it represents. My request isn't too much to ask, is it?" Even now, Yao Junxian was unwilling to give up and tried to negotiate.
"The furnace has already acknowledged its master. It would be useless to you even if I lent it to you. Don't worry, after I co out of the Spiritual dicine Garden, I'll give you a generous gift!" Qin Fan replied with a noncommittal chuckle, shaking his head.
Acknowledged its master?
Upon hearing those words, Yao Junxian shuddered violently, his eyes filling with boundless shock and horror.
I always thought a Pill Furnace acknowledging a master was just a legend! Thousands of years ago, not even the Grand State Preceptor beside Emperor Qin Shi Huang could form a master-servant pact with the Longevity Furnace. Yet this kid managed to do it right after getting his hands on it? And from the way he talks, the furnace actually sees him as its master? Has the world gone mad?! He's just a brat, not even twenty years old! How is this possible?! If the Longevity Furnace has truly acknowledged a master, doesn't that an refining the Longevity Pill would be easy?
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Yao Junxian's terror intensified. Watching Qin Fan's retreating back, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
So young, with a mysterious cultivation powerful enough to kill a master at the Great Success of the Transformation Realm, and he even possesses the Longevity Furnace, which has acknowledged him as its master... Just where did this heaven-defying monster co from? Given ti, who in the world could possibly stand against him?
As the Valley Master of dicine Valley, a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Transformation Realm, Yao Junxian felt utterly pathetic and useless at this mont. A re brat was treating the entire dicine Valley like his personal backyard, and all he could do was watch as the boy strode deep into their forbidden Spiritual dicine Garden!
"Valley Master, that's the Spiritual dicine Garden! That's the ultimate foundation of our dicine Valley!" An elder returned to Yao Junxian's side after Qin Fan was long gone, his voice trembling.
"Just as he said, I am not his match. Perhaps all of us together aren't his match. I dare not take that risk. I dare not make that gamble. Many things aren't as simple as one plus one. For now, we can only hope that the Great Elder of the Valley Guardians erges from his seclusion soon. We absolutely cannot let him leave dicine Valley alive. Absolutely not!"
His voice carried a steely resolve, but coming from Yao Junxian at this mont, it sounded utterly powerless.
He had no confidence. None at all.
