On the third floor of the restaurant, Elder Lu Chen looked at Qi Fan who walked in and said with a smile: "I'll spare you the courtesy. It's just the two of us here. Let's sit down."
Qi Fan, who was about to salute, was startled. He cupped his hands and sat down, asking, "I wonder what the elder wants from me?"
"Hey, this beast wave is too sudden. I came to you to ask if, besides you, you also saw any of your fellow disciples who went into the mountain with you." Lu Chen sighed and said.
Qi Fan nodded secretly in his heart, and it was indeed because of this matter. Then he said: "Returning to the elders, I didn't see any of my fellow sects, not even the disciples of other sects."
"The people from Baihua Palace also met when they were approaching Shaoyan City."
Lu Chen nodded after hearing this, which was what he expected.
It was just a matter of luck to ask Qi Fan. Currently, the sect has suffered a lot of damage and its strength has been greatly reduced. It would be better if these elite disciples could come back.
Thinking of these, Lu Chen looked at Qi Fan complicatedly. It was indeed beyond the expectations of many elders that a miscellaneous spiritual root could reach this stage.
After a while, he let out another long sigh and said: "Qi Fan, I'm wondering if you are in the late stage of condensation. Are you sure you can break through the core formation?"
"Now is the time for the sect to hire people. It would be better if you could break through the pill formation. If you need anything, just tell me and the sect will do its best to help you."
It's no wonder that Lu Chen would ask such a question. It's really difficult for a miscellaneous spiritual root to break through the core formation. Although it is not without precedent, according to what he knows, the core formation is the limit that Qi Fan can achieve.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of pity in Lu Chen's eyes. After all, looking at the performance of this disciple Qi Fan in recent years, he is no worse than those geniuses, or even worse.
Now Lu Chen still doesn't know what the great elder Zhou Qingyuan thought after checking Qi Fan's body. He just thought that Qi Fan's breakthrough in the pill formation was just an ordinary pill formation.
I would never have thought that even if Qi Fan had no hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul, he could still be said to be invincible in the Dan Formation!
At this time, Qi Fan felt depressed when he heard Lu Chen ask about his cultivation situation. He knew his own situation best.
If the difficulty for others to break through the pill formation is one, then it is ten for myself!
Those three spiritual roots, or even the rarer dual spiritual roots and single spiritual roots, only need to focus on absorbing one kind of spiritual energy and filling the spiritual liquid lake in the body.
After purification, compression, and so on, when the time comes, the elixir can be formed. All that is needed is resources and time.
Logically speaking, my ability to break through the core is no different from others. It is even easier than others to absorb the five elements' spiritual energy because of the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique.
However, the lake of spiritual liquid in one's body is ten times that of others, even if some people are gifted and have a naturally powerful Dantian.
But I am seven or eight times as rich as others, and the resources and time required are not just words.
Although the previous gains in the secret realm are enough to make up for all this, it cannot be achieved in a short time.
And the most important point is! The quality of the spiritual energy in my body is much higher than that of others! This has been shown after many battles, and there is no need to question it at all.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to continue to purify and compress. Qi Fan himself feels that there is little hope.
After a long time, Qi Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you, elder, for your concern. For the time being, I still have no way to break through the pill formation."
"Hey, don't be discouraged. You will succeed one day. If you need anything, just come to me." Lu Chen comforted.
"Thank you, elder." Qi Fan responded, then changed the subject and asked: "I wonder how the sect is doing?"
Although Qi Fan had previously learned from Li Yang about the attack on Xuanyuan Sect and the closure of the mountain by Lieyang Sect, he did not know the specific situation.
Lu Chen exhaled, stood up and walked to the window, taking a look at the people in Wanxiang Pavilion on the city wall and the Handao Ancestor who was still harvesting from the beast tide.
After confirming that there were no outsiders around, he turned to Qi Fan and said, "More than half of the disciples in the sect have lost their lives, and the sect leader has been seriously injured."
"Elders also suffered casualties. The master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Cai Meng, Elder Yu, Elder Zhan of the Mission Hall, Elder Zhao of the Chuan Gong Pavilion, Elder Qian of the outer sect, and Elder Ning, the master of Wufeng Peak, all died in this battle."
"Elder Ning is the Elder Wu you call him."
At this point, Lu Chen took a deep look at Qi Fan and said again: "Originally, I can't tell you this yet, but you are number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and you are the only disciple who has escaped from the Tianyao Mountain Range for the time being."
"You have to understand what I mean, and these things must not be spread out, otherwise our Xuanyuan Sect will not be able to withstand another disaster. Do you understand?"
Qi Fan had been listening to it for a long time. He originally thought that the sect still had enough strength to resist the beast tide this time, and that even if the sect was attacked, it would not suffer much damage.
Telling the outside world that he was severely injured is just a falsehood.
But he didn't expect it to be much more serious than he imagined.
Not to mention other elders, even Elder Wu, whom he had only met once and who gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, died, let alone a palace master.
You must know that Xuanyuan Sect only has three institutions in total. Apart from the sect leader, the Pavilion Master, the Hall Master, and the Hall Master are the biggest.
Unexpectedly, even such a real high-level sect member lost his life!
Now he finally knows why Elder Lu Chen said this to him. The Xuanyuan Sect is indeed in urgent need of new Dan-Jie elders.
With so many seats vacant at once, there will probably be some problems in the operation of the sect.
Lu Chen looked at the stunned Qi Fan and sighed in his heart, shouldn't he say these things to him?
Then he waved his hand to Qi Fan and said: "You go out first, practice hard, and strive to break through the core formation as soon as possible."
Qi Fan nodded silently, cupped his hands and retreated.
After the door was closed tightly, a heavy sigh sounded in the room.
Qi Fan stood in the corridor for a long time. He really didn't expect that just after attending an exchange meeting, the huge sect suddenly felt like the building was about to collapse.
From the bottom of his heart, Qi Fan didn't want Xuanyuan Sect to sink like this. After all, if something happened to Xuanyuan Sect, what would their disciples do?
Even if you can join other sects, it doesn't matter to other disciples, but you, can you? You have a lot of secrets in your body.
At least in Xuanyuan Sect, so far, the senior leaders in the sect have not revealed any thoughts about themselves.
But in other sects, this may not be the case.
However, Qi Fan gave a bitter smile, even if he wanted to, he was powerless. It would not be so easy to break through the core.
I can only hope that Yu Wenmian, Qingfeng and others who attended the exchange meeting with me can escape smoothly.
Although the latter's strength is not very good, Qi Fan still hopes that he can escape. After all, it should be easier for Qingfeng to break through the core formation than for him.
Shaking his head to throw these things out of his mind, he walked towards Xue Ling'er's room.
