In the small courtyard, Zi Ling's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an Earth Chicken egg.
Long Zixuan's face was filled with shock, wearing a look of disbelief... His senior sister was only around twenty years old, and she had already become an Almost Immortal?!
Too terrifying, right?!
Looking across the entire Xuantian Realm, this was definitely an unprecedented speed of cultivation!
Lu Rang had a complex expression on his face, thinking his own progression had been rapid, but he didn't expect his senior sister to be this monstrous...
But at the same time, they all felt a deep sense of anticipation!
They all understood why this was all happening!
With such a master, it seemed as though the Immortal Path, which the whole Xuantian Realm looked up to... was nothing at all.
Nan Feng stood up and deeply bowed to Li Fan, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I almost went astray!"
She spoke with gratitude.
"It's a trivial matter."
"When you walk far on a path, you'll encounter various inner demons, which is quite normal."
Li Fan smiled and looked towards Zi Ling and the others, saying, "You all should also take heed."
Zi Ling and the others nodded earnestly, "We've taken it to heart."
Li Fan stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "Your senior sister has made some progress in her lute playing, which is worth celebrating. Come, today we can eat peaches again."
He looked at the branches of the Peach Tree, several peaches had ripened.
Li Fan was very pleased with this Peach Tree; the peaches it bore had thin skins, were juicy, and very sweet.
Upon hearing this, the disciples all instantly got excited.
Those are Pan Peaches!
Their grade is probably far above that of Holy Medicine!
All of them sat by the stone table, quietly waiting.
Even Bai Xiaoqing, who was playing on one side, jumped onto the stone table, guarding her spot.
Since transforming into a Pure Blood White Tiger, she had been very energetic, causing trouble in the courtyard every day, but she never bothered the Earth Chicken or the carps they raised, seemingly very afraid of them.
Li Fan smiled and gently picked a few Pan Peaches.
"Is Senior Li there?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
It was Mu Qianning's voice.
Li Fan hadn't seen this girl for a long time; he immediately said, "I am, come in."
Outside, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning walked in, and seeing two young men in the courtyard, they were both a bit surprised.
"I have troubled you to help, and I've taken in two disciples, Lu Rang and Long Zixuan."
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were both amazed. So these were Senior Li's disciples.
At the same time, both of them hurriedly said, "We just did what we were supposed to do, Senior is being too polite."
Li Fan said with a smile, "Since you're here, sit down. Just in time to try these peaches together."
Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning's eyes shone with excitement!
My goodness, are we in luck again?!
Having already received Senior Li's benevolence before, they didn't hold back this time and quickly took their seats.
Li Fan cut the ripe peaches and said, "Eat up."
Zi Ling was the first to unceremoniously pick up a piece of Pan Peach, her big eyes sparkling with happiness as she took a bite!
It turned to nectar as she swallowed!
Her cultivation level skyrocketed, and her physique was constantly being refined!
Her aura rose from the Nascent Soul Realm's Quintuple Heaven, soaring all the way to the Nine Heavens, where it finally stopped!
She went from a Venerable to a Supreme!
The others around her were all stunned.
A Supreme under twenty years old...
After eating the Pan Peach, Nan Feng's aura also improved by leaps and bounds!
She was wrapped in immortal grace, appearing utterly sacred!
"Is this... an Immortal?"
Fire Spirit and the others were even more shocked.
But Nan Feng took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "It's not time yet."
Just from that bite of Pan Peach, she could have leaped from being Almost Immortal directly to an Immortal.
But she deeply understood that in order to solidify her foundation, she couldn't always seek speed.
Thus, she suppressed it.
However, this was just a matter of time.
The crowd had complex expressions; it was too eerie. In the outside world, an Almost Immortal could stir endless storms, but here, becoming an Immortal was just a matter of willingness...
Long Zixuan and Lu Rang also swallowed!
Lu Rang's cultivation level skyrocketed from the Hollow Void Realm, reaching the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven directly!
Long Zixuan, on the other hand, entered the Venerable Realm...
Both were in a daze, feeling that everything before their eyes was too unreal!
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were also filled with anticipation and quickly finished eating!
Their cultivation levels soared as well!
Both had already been in the Mahayana Realm; now they had stepped into the Venerable Realm together, not far from the Supreme.
"In the presence of Senior Li, the blessings that the common folk beg for are so casually given..."
Despite receiving many favors, Fire Spirit still had a complex expression.
"Senior Li is the best person in the world!"
Mu Qianning's eyes sparkled as she admired Li Fan to the extreme.
Li Fan, however, was too busy to attend to them; Xiao Bai, having finished eating, was now pestering him to help rub her belly.
"You're too greedy, always eating so much..."
Li Fan said with a smile, rubbing Bai Xiaoqing's belly.
Envy filled the eyes of everyone present!
"This must be the happiest pet in the world, right? To have Li Fan, such a tremendously powerful figure, rub her belly to aid digestion..."
Mu Qianning's beautiful eyes were brimming with envy!
"This cat... no, this Pure Blood White Tiger has incredibly profound luck. With just a rub from Senior Li, it doesn't even need to spend time assimilating the Immortal Spiritual Qi of the Pan Peach..."
Fire Spirit was contemplative, wishing she could become this cat... Truly, sometimes people are not as good as cats!
Bai Xiaoqing nagged Li Fan until he helped rub her belly, after which she ran off to play by herself.
"Right, do you have any matters to discuss?"
After eating, Li Fan finally asked.
At these words, Mu Qianning immediately said, "Senior, before this... I advised Yuan Yang and Ling Chao to accept people from all territories to take refuge in the Southern Territory, but now, they have turned against us, wanting to seize the resources of the Southern Territory..."
She carried deep self-reproach in her expression, saying, "It's all Qian Ning's fault for being foolish..."
Li Fan, however, shook his head and said, "You did nothing wrong."
"The mistake lies only in the greed inherent in human nature."
"Do not blame yourself for your kindness; it is the most precious light within life."
That is the most precious light within life.
Hearing Senior Li say this, Mu Qianning's heart felt much more at ease.
"Senior, in order to decide the ownership of the Southern Territory's resources, those people proposed holding a martial contest among the young..."
Fire Spirit then spoke, "I wonder, Senior, do you have any instructions?"
A contest among the young?
Li Fan was surprised, hearing this. A contest among the young, if put plainly, was basically an agreement to fight, wasn't it?
For a fight, one surely needs strong young lads.
But, he felt a headache coming on. In matters of group fights, he couldn't be of much help...
"They are going too far!"
At this moment, Lu Rang spoke angrily, "How can these people be so ungrateful?!"
Even though he came from one of the four great territories, he couldn't stand to see this.
Long Zixuan nodded in agreement, "To return kindness with resentment is disgraceful!"
Seeing them speak up, Li Fan suddenly looked towards them.
This was great; didn't he have two disciples ready for this?
"Ahem, you two, have you any experience in fighting?"
At his words, everyone was surprised.
Senior Li... was he planning to send out his own disciples?!
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning immediately filled with anticipation!
If Senior Li's disciples were to make a move, what was there to worry about?
Lu Rang and Long Zixuan, however, were taken aback.
But it was only for an instant.
"Master, we will surely win this fight!"
Lu Rang had already stood up, readily agreeing!
Long Zixuan also nodded. This was their master's first assignment to them; they absolutely couldn't disappoint their master and said, "Your disciple is willing to go!"
