Chapter 299 Master and Disciple Open Their Hearts

Xiao Fan stepped into the main hall of the Starfall Pavilion and saw that all the powerful figures from various forces, except for the Dou Zun level experts, were gathered in the hall. The person leading them was Mu Qingluan, who was entertaining them.

As Xiao Fan entered, Mu Qingluan looked at him with a hint of resentment.

This was clearly an occasion that Xiao Fan should have been in charge of hosting, but in the past, Xiao Fan had used the excuse that Xiao Yan was the young master to dump this mess on Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan, in turn, used the pretext of training his disciples to hand the matter over to Mu Qingluan.

Therefore, within the Starfall Pavilion, apart from Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, who were nominally parachuted in as superiors, she still handled everything.

However, it is indeed inappropriate for Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, whose strength has now reached the Dou Zun realm, to use them to entertain a group of peers whose strength has not yet reached the Dou Zun realm.

That's why Mu Qingluan didn't refuse outright, but naturally she had a lot of complaints about Xiao Fan, the instigator.

Although she admired Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's talent, she didn't show it.

"Blood Lord Xiao Fan!"

As Xiao Fan entered the hall, the powerful figures from various forces all turned their attention to him. Someone spoke up, and everyone stared intently at Xiao Fan.

The powerful figures sitting in this hall are mostly at the Dou Zong realm, and have not yet stepped into the Dou Zun realm.

However, they had already heard of Xiao Fan.

Blood Lord Xiao Fan earned his reputation by fighting his way through the battles of the Soul Palace's Dou Zun level experts. For these Dou Zong level experts, Xiao Fan was their absolute idol.

Dou Zun level experts are like ants in front of Xiao Fan, slaughtering them at will. The Soul Palace has lost so many experts in Xiao Fan's hands, but they are still alive and kicking. Xiao Fan's name has long become an insurmountable mountain pressing down on the heads of the younger generation of experts.

It can be said that most of the Dou Zong experts present here admire Xiao Fan immensely, and now that they have seen him, their eyes are filled with excitement.

Xiao Fan naturally noticed everyone's gazes. He hadn't expected that even a Dou Zun expert wouldn't be here. Feeling the intense gazes around him, Xiao Fan had a strange feeling of becoming an idol.

But since he was already here, Xiao Fan wasn't about to leave. He glanced at Mu Qingluan ahead, then with a wave of his hand, a cup of fine wine appeared in his hand. He circled it around and addressed the crowd with a smile: "Gentlemen, today the Soul Palace has been defeated. The Starfall Pavilion will remember your kindness and wishes you all good fortune in your martial endeavors and continued success!"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, everyone was excited. They stood up, toasted Xiao Fan in return, and said, "Thank you, Senior Blood Venerable!"

"May you all have great luck in battle and advance without fear!"

After having a drink with everyone, Xiao Fan turned around, bid farewell to them, and left the main hall.

Since none of the Dou Zun were here, Xiao Fan changed his mind and appeared at the back of the hall. Sensing the aura within, Xiao Fan shook his head and stepped inside.

"Holding a secret meeting here without telling me, really..."

As Xiao Fan arrived, all the Dou Zun looked at him with gentle smiles.

After all, Xiao Fan's strength already surpassed that of most of the powerful individuals present.

When Xiao Fan fought the Four Heavenly Venerables, it was all right under the noses of a group of powerful figures.

With the strength of a first-stage Dou Zun, few powerful figures could rival Xiao Fan. If they were to face Xiao Fan, they would likely only perish.

More importantly, Xiao Fan is the disciple of the Medicine Venerable. Now that the Medicine Venerable has entered sainthood, no one dares to provoke Xiao Fan. Moreover, Xiao Fan's killing intent is enough to make many powerful people wary. Such a genius with background, talent, methods, and a strong killing intent is the last person they want to come into contact with.

Xiao Fan glanced at the crowd, exchanged a look with Tang Zhen of Burning Flame Valley, cupped his hands in greeting to Yao Lao and the others at the head of the table, and then walked straight to Tang Zhen and sat down next to him.

"Valley Master Tang, it's been a long time!"

Tang Zhen looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Among the group of powerful figures present, he was probably the one who had the most contact with Xiao Fan.

Whether it was refining the "Fire Bodhi Pill" or the later trip to the Dou Sheng Ruins, he and Xiao Fan developed a considerable friendship.

"Young friend Xiao's skills have improved even more!"

Tang Zhen cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Fan, his tone revealing a smile.

Hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Fan smiled and looked at Tang Zhen, asking, "How is your daughter?"

"I must thank you for your help back then, young friend Xiao. That girl was just too impatient and tried to force herself to absorb the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, but she's fine now!"

Tang Zhen bowed to Xiao Fan, and this was not just polite talk. If it weren't for Xiao Fan's presence, the Fire Bodhi Pill would not have been successfully refined, and the cost of the failed refinement would have been that Tang Huo'er could not be saved.

Therefore, Xiao Fan had indeed done Tang Zhen a great favor.

"It was all for the sake of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire; it was just a matter of each getting what they wanted."

Xiao Fan did not take credit, and the atmosphere was quite friendly during their conversation.

Everyone kept congratulating Elder Yao, who was in the first seat. Elder Yao's breakthrough to the Dou Sheng realm naturally disrupted the power structure of Zhongzhou. The Xingyun Pavilion, which was originally ranked at the bottom, will surely become famous after this battle. With a Dou Sheng in charge and now six Dou Zun experts, everyone can predict that the Xingyun Pavilion will make rapid progress in the future.

Furthermore, now that the Medicine Venerable has broken through to the Dou Sheng level, his level of expertise in alchemy...

All the powerful figures present deeply understood how terrifying a high-level alchemist could be.

Now, the Starfall Pavilion has three members, including the Medicine Venerable, and may even go further.

You should know that the Medicine Venerable was already unparalleled in alchemy on the continent back then. After breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm, the pills he refined will probably reach a new level!

Inside the main hall, everyone present was from a faction that was on good terms with the Starfall Pavilion, so the atmosphere was naturally quite amicable.

Everyone came here with the intention of befriending Elder Yao, so the atmosphere at the banquet was lively and cheerful.

As for the various forces, having gone through the battle with the Soul Hall, they were now considered to be on the same side, so they got to know each other during the meal.

After everyone had their own topics of conversation, the old apothecary disappeared from the spot. Xiao Fan watched the old apothecary leave, cupped his hands to Tang Zhen beside him, and also left the main hall. Just as he left, he heard the old apothecary's voice.

Xiao Fan walked straight toward the place where Yao Lao was in seclusion. Along the way, the disciples he occasionally encountered all bowed respectfully to him.

Looking at the large hole burned out where Yao Lao had been in seclusion, Xiao Fan scratched his head. He had acted expediently in an emergency; his teacher couldn't possibly beat him for such a trivial matter, could he?

"We're here? Come in."

Hearing the old doctor's voice, Xiao Fan stepped into the cave and respectfully bowed to the old doctor.

The old doctor looked at his disciple with a complex expression. He knew his disciple held many secrets, but he also knew he could completely trust him. He had initially thought a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) could protect his disciple, but now it seemed...

The old apothecary shook his head helplessly. He had never heard of the spiritual fruit that Xiao Fan had given him when he broke through.

Chapter 300 Frank confession

The old apothecary knew that Xiao Fan had many secrets, but he understood his disciple well. Although he had his own secrets, they would not be of any harm to him, so the old apothecary did not press him for details.

"Alright, get up..."

The old apothecary's gaze fell on Xiao Fan, his eyes filled with a hint of gentleness.

As for the spiritual medicine that Xiao Fan gave him when he broke through to the Dou Sheng realm, Yao Lao didn't ask any questions.

If his disciple were willing, he would naturally tell him.

However, Yao Ge really wanted to know what kind of strange object this was. With his many years of experience traversing the Dou Qi Continent, he had never heard of such a peculiar spiritual object.

If something could truly help him skip the half-saint stage from the peak of Dou Zun and directly advance to Dou Sheng, it shouldn't be unknown on the continent.

However, despite his many years of experience, Yao Lao had absolutely no recollection of this thing.

Xiao Fan slowly stood up and sat opposite Yao Lao. Sensing Yao Lao's aura, a smile appeared on his face.

"Teacher, you've finally broken through to the Dou Sheng realm. It seems the Soul Palace won't be targeting the Starfall Pavilion for the time being."

Speaking of the Soul Hall, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of excitement, given the Soul Hall's massive attack on the Starfall Pavilion.

In the end, not only did they fail to destroy the Starfall Pavilion, but they also fled in disgrace under the attack of Elder Yao, which strengthened the Starfall Pavilion's power.

Next, the Starfall Pavilion will inevitably become the focus of all major forces in the Central Continent.

The fact that Yao Lao broke through to the Dou Zun level and reached the Dou Sheng level will further disrupt the power structure of Zhongzhou.

However, none of these were the reasons for Xiao Fan's excitement. The reason Xiao Fan was so excited was because he finally seized the Lingtian Warship from the Three Heavenly Venerables.

"Teacher, that Sky-Piercing Warship..."

At this point, Xiao Fan couldn't stop smiling.

Even with the Soul Palace's accumulated resources over so many years, there are only a few Lingtian warships, so you can imagine how expensive they are.

Now that all these warships have fallen into the hands of Elder Yao, Xiao Fan is naturally extremely excited.

Looking at the excited Xiao Fan, Yao Lao shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face. With a wave of his hand, a space sphere the size of a fist appeared in Yao Lao's hand.

"The Lingtian Warship is of a very high rank. It is impossible to fit it in the storage ring. Only after recognizing it as a master can it be used freely, or one can directly use the power of space to suppress it and carry it with them."

After explaining to Xiao Fan, Yao Lao threw the spatial sphere in his hand to Xiao Fan and said, "With your strength, this should be enough for you."

Xiao Fan was taken aback when he heard what Yao Lao said. He hadn't expected that the Lingtian Warship would be so difficult to retrieve from his storage ring.

However, through Mo Shang's perception, Xiao Fan also knew how rare the Lingtian Warship was.

Putting everything else aside, the space stones alone are materials that can only be produced in the small worlds of Dou Sheng level experts.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the storage ring alone cannot contain it.

Shaking his head regretfully, Xiao Fan caught the spatial orb that Yao Lao threw to him.

The soul power probed into the space and sensed a miniature version of the Sky-Piercing Warship.

Every detail on the miniature Lingtian warship was lifelike. Xiao Fan examined it carefully and, within the spatial sphere, realized how to make the Lingtian warship his own.

Xiao Fan used his soul power to inscribe his soul imprint in the space, and then the soul imprint floated directly towards the miniature Lingtian warship and imprinted itself on it.

As the soul imprint was inscribed, Xiao Fan, aboard the Lingtian Warship, vaguely sensed a connection between himself and the warship.

With a thought, the Lingtian Warship disappeared from the spatial knowledge and appeared in front of Xiao Fan.

As Xiao Fan's soul power was injected into it, the Lingtian warship, which was originally the size of a palm, gradually expanded and soon became able to accommodate a person inside.

At this point, Xiao Fan did not continue to inject soul power.

The Lingtian warship can grow larger or smaller according to the user's wishes.
