Chapter 71: Residual Thought

Lu Fan was slightly surprised. The Lu Family's foundation was not small; no wonder this body had swallowed so many spirit herbs when he was a child. With this medicine garden to supply them, it was nothing at all.

"Young Master Fan, this is the Lu Family treasury, you go in yourself!" Qiuxiang pointed to the pond and said to Lu Fan.

"This is the treasury?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned, his Spiritual Power scanning the surroundings, not letting go of even an inch of ground. But the surroundings were empty, except for this pond and those herbs, there was no sign of a treasury at all.

"Young Master Fan! The Lu Family treasury is in this medicine garden. When the old master was here, he would disappear for no reason in front of this pond every time, so the treasury should be here!"

Lu Fan listened to Qiuxiang's explanation, still couldn't understand, took out the bronze mirror, and stimulated it with True Qi. Since this was the key to the treasury, and there was a secret array on it, he thought he should have some perception in front of the treasury.

However, to his disappointment, this was of no use. He was unwilling to give up, tried several methods to drive the secret treasure, and in the end, it was all useless.

"Qiuxiang, did you get it wrong!" Ye Lu Fan was speechless. Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had been stumped. As he spoke, he shook the bronze mirror, but never expected the bronze mirror to reflect the moonlight, casting it into the pond.

Immediately, fluctuations arose, the originally "gurgling" spring water stopped, and the entire pool surface became quiet in an instant, reflecting the moonlight like a mirror.

"Eh! What's wrong with this pond?" Qiuxiang also discovered the abnormality of the pond, looking surprised.

Lu Fan's expression was shocked, incredulous. The bronze mirror clearly shot out a spatial fluctuation, as if a projection of some void, condensing on this Earth Heart Spirit Spring.

"Wait! This bronze mirror is..."

He suddenly remembered something, staring at the bronze mirror in his hand with horror. However, at this moment, a fluctuation rose on the lake, turning into a whirlpool wave, covering Lu Fan.

Lu Fan instinctively wanted to retreat, but as soon as his True Qi operated, it flew into the bronze mirror. There was no way to resist, only feeling a spatial fluctuation covering the world suppressing his body, then feeling dizzy, and he and Qiuxiang were rolled into it by the whirlpool wave.

Two living people disappeared in an instant, and the pond returned to normal, the spirit spring gushing, and the surroundings seemed to have returned to normal.

"Clatter!"

A muffled footstep came, Lu Erye's figure slowly appeared, his brows furrowed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly excited, "Hmph! Sure enough, they went in. Lu Fan, if you can't solve the secret of the Dazzling Illusion Mirror, even if I have to bear Lao Taijun's blame, I will kill you, to avoid my Lu Family suffering a great disaster!"

The world spun, Lu Fan kept his heart and mind, and finally stepped on solid ground. Before his vision recovered, a soft and fragrant body stumbled into his arms.

"Hmm..."

Qiuxiang groaned, opened her eyes, realized her awkward situation, blushed, and hurriedly pushed Lu Fan away.

Lu Fan didn't take it to heart, smiled harmoniously, then looked around. He found himself in a stone room, with only one stone door, and in the middle was a mirror-like groove. On the groove, there were four ancient and vigorous characters, very similar to the handwriting on the stone tablet outside "Baicao Yuan."

"Dazzling Illusion Mirror? Is this the Lu Family treasury!"

Qiuxiang was somewhat surprised, very surprised at how she had arrived here for no reason.

Lu Fan flipped his hand, held the bronze mirror upright, and said lightly: "The Lu Family treasury has always been hidden in this bronze mirror, it is truly mysterious!"

"What? Young Master Fan, you aren't joking! If the Lu Family treasury is in the bronze mirror, where are we now?"

Qiuxiang felt confused. She had seen many amazing things in the Lu Family, but the scene before her was truly hard to believe.

"Hehe! You asked a good question. This bronze mirror is a spatial exotic treasure, its inner space is just projected by the Earth Heart Spirit Spring! Very normal, let's go in and see!"

Lu Fan chuckled, explained slightly, then put the bronze mirror into the groove, the light on the stone door flashed, and it actually cracked a gap, opening on its own.

A misty fog rushed toward his face; it was atomized Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, a hundred times stronger than the outside world, simply a peerless blessed land!

Lu Fan's True Qi operated on its own, various acupoints opened on their own, frantically swallowing the atomized Origin Qi, completely out of his control.

However, he was not happy but shocked, as if facing a great enemy, closing his acupoints, grabbing Qiuxiang, and flying back! At the same time, the bronze mirror in his hand was used to close the stone door.

"Hehe! Kid, since you are in, why are you in such a hurry to go out!"

A gloomy laugh sounded, cold and biting, ethereal and uncertain, as if coming from the nine underworlds. Then a ghost shadow slowly condensed in front of the stone door, with sharp teeth and claws, fierce and unclear.

"Ah!" Qiuxiang saw this ghost shadow, scared until her whole body felt cold, her pretty face pale, and she couldn't help but drill into Lu Fan's arms.

"Eh! Ten-Thousand Wood has spirit, it is actually an innate spirit body. It seems the High Priest's divination was indeed correct." The ghost shadow licked his lips. Although he was just a hazy shadow, he gave off an evil, bloody feeling.

Lu Fan's pupils shrank, his face cold, and he shouted sharply: "A mere Ghost Spirit, actually dares to be insolent in my Lu Family treasury, truly ignorant of the height of heaven and the depth of earth!"

As soon as his voice fell, his large hand flipped, the bronze mirror was put away, but the Art Refining Crystal Furnace was used. Without any hesitation, he pinched the seal formula, and flames swallowed the atomized Origin Qi, surrounding the Ghost Spirit.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself, kid. Even if Lu Shanhu were here, he wouldn't dare to be so insolent to this deity!"

The Ghost Spirit snorted coldly, his sharp claws waved suddenly, actually penetrating the heavy fire waves, attacking Lu Fan.

Lu Fan was not chaotic, one hand holding Qiuxiang's small waist, the other hand pinching the formula method in an orderly manner, and the Desolate Seal condensed, actually turning into an array, suppressing it with immeasurable power.

How powerful was the Desolate Seal? Lu Fan, just relying on a simple seal formula, could dance in front of a Martial Venerable, and the other party could do nothing. Now that it had formed a rune array, its power was at least ten times stronger.

"Bang!"

The ghost claws smashed onto the rune array, ghost Qi dissipated, seemingly wanting to pierce through the rune array and strike Lu Fan directly. However, at this moment, a suction force suddenly surged from the rune array, as if it could swallow heaven and earth, and immediately wrapped the ghost claws in it.

Suction forces eroded across the void, and the Ghost Spirit was shocked, "How is this possible? A mere Tendon Refining Realm Martial Master, actually able to block this deity's strike!"

Lu Fan curled his lip in disdain: "Block your strike? You overestimate yourself too much! A mere Qi Refining Realm Ghost Venerable, also wanting to be insolent in front of me, courting death!"

As soon as his voice fell, he let go of Qiuxiang, patted her shoulder, and then flew up.

"Guiyuan Yiqi, absorb it for me!"

The surrounding atomized Origin Qi was like a dam breaking, pouring into Lu Fan's body at an incredible speed. The Tendon Refining Realm barrier shattered in the blink of an eye, leaping up a major realm in an instant.

But that was not all; with the help of the abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here, Lu Fan's aura was still soaring, until it stopped at the late-stage Bone Tempering Realm.

This scene was troublesome to say, but in reality, it was just a matter of an instant, and even the Ghost Spirit hadn't reacted, Lu Fan had already smashed out with the Art Refining Crystal Furnace.

"Bang!"

A giant force instantly shattered the ghost claws, and the rune array on it floated, leaping onto the crystal furnace. "Boom, boom, boom," muffled sounds exploded, and the Desolate Seal rune array swept the surrounding atomized Origin Qi, pouring it directly into the crystal furnace.

Blazing fire erupted in an instant, circling Lu Fan's body, reflecting his tall figure, like an ancient fire god descending.

"How is this possible? A small branch family actually has such a character?"

The Ghost Spirit was stunned, never expecting that in the blink of an eye, Lu Fan would undergo such a earth-shaking change. The appearance before him, although only late-stage Bone Tempering Realm, was still two major realms away from his cultivation, but he couldn't underestimate him at all.

"Profound Artifact! Rune Master! Neither is enough to support your appearance, is it that seal formula?" The Ghost Spirit suddenly realized, staring at Lu Fan with surprise, as if wanting to see through him.

"You talk too much!" Lu Fan had no time to talk nonsense with the other party. A Qi Refining Realm Ghost Venerable, I fear no one in the entire Mingyue Empire could suppress him. He could only borrow the abundant Origin Qi here and the power of the Desolate Seal, hoping to have a glimmer of possibility to contend!

A moment ago, he was as fearful as a tiger, Lu Fan, who tried to seal the stone room, but now he didn't hesitate, hiding his figure and going up.

"Wildfire Condensation!"

Lu Fan shouted, one hand pushed the Art Refining Crystal Furnace, the other hand pointed wildly at the surroundings. The supreme fire power around his body rolled out, actually turning into a distorted beast shadow, vaguely a beast roar came, the power of a supreme fierce beast, suddenly erupted.

"This is..." The Ghost Spirit was shocked, looking at the burning flame beast shadow in front of him, actually producing a trace of fear. But how could this be? The other party was just a Tendon Refining Realm Martial Master, even if he exploded with secret methods, he was only a mere Bone Tempering Realm.

Martial Dao Nine Heavens, one realm one heaven and earth. He was a Qi Refining Realm Ghost Venerable, how could he show fear in front of a Bone Tempering Realm brat.

Shaking his head fiercely, the Ghost Spirit's face was ferocious, fierce aura dispersed, and he couldn't care about anything else, waving his sharp claws.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The ghost claws penetrated the flame beast shadow, making a harsh screeching sound. But this flame beast shadow was formless and shapeless, although it was consumed every time it was grabbed, the flames rolling out from the crystal furnace could immediately make up for it, as good as new.

Looking at the Ghost Spirit, he looked fierce, but every time he grabbed, there would be Wildfire baleful power attached to it, eroding the ghost spirit's virtual body. In just a moment, the originally gloomy ghost shadow had wisps of smoke dissipating, and his state greatly declined.

Lu Fan saw this scene and nodded, his desperate fight was right. Fire flames naturally restrained evil baleful ghosts, although the Ghost Spirit's realm was very high, under the rune fire blessed by the Desolate Seal, it was of no use at all.

Desolate was an ancient fierce beast, growing to the extreme, and could even destroy the world and the realm. The Desolate Seal in this place where Origin Qi was abundant, naturally didn't reason, a mere Martial Venerable, without knowing the method, was indeed difficult to resist.

Give me a rune array, and I can destroy the world. The true meaning of the Rune Dao that Rune Masters talked about in the past was displayed vividly in Lu Fan's hands at this moment.

"Awoo! I am so angry, what kind of fire is this, how can it be so powerful!" The Ghost Spirit had all his supernatural powers, but in front of the Wildfire, he had no place to use them. Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was endless, Wildfire was endless, if Lu Fan had this Origin Qi supply at the palace banquet, he could have taken down Old Man Zuo in minutes.

Lu Fan smiled faintly, coldly saying: "The fire that takes your life, a mere Ghost Venerable also dares to be insolent in front of me, today I will refine you alive!"

As soon as his voice fell, his figure leaped up, and the crystal furnace in his hand smashed down, suppressing the void above the Ghost Spirit's head. The Wildfire array extended, covering every corner around the Ghost Spirit.

This time the Ghost Spirit had no power to resist, the ghost claws protecting his body, the thin virtual shadow looked like it was about to dissipate, disappearing from the world from now on, without a trace.

"Kid, you cannot kill me, I am a special envoy of the Great Qian Lu Family, I have an important order to deliver, let Lu Shanhu come to see me!"

The Ghost Spirit couldn't hold back anymore, wailing. He clearly wanted to beg for mercy, but his tone was a threatening one, high and mighty, ordering people around.

"Hehe!" Lu Fan sneered, using the Great Qian Lu Family to threaten him was truly whimsical. He originally wanted to ask this Ghost Spirit for some news, but now it seemed unnecessary. "Since you are courting death, don't blame me!" ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
