At that moment, Xu Fan and Feng Danqing made their way towards the inside of the Bao Lian Temple.

"Brother, your man here must have some foundation in Body Refinement, right?"

As they walked, Feng Danqing couldn't help but glance at the Green Rakshasa who followed Xu Fan in silence.

The scene where the Green Rakshasa single-handedly repelled several guards was still vivid in his mind.

Unscathed by the attack of several guards, he deduced that there must be some Body Refinement Technique such as Vajra Body at play.

Such cultivation techniques are extremely difficult to practice, requiring a decade-long physical toughening that is excruciatingly painful, only achievable by those with great perseverance.

To have such an expert willingly being his subordinate, Feng Danqing couldn't help but feel a bit envious as he looked at Xu Fan.

"Yeah, you could say that."

Seeing Feng Danqing's curious expression, Xu Fan nodded.

During the process of being crafted into a Living Corpse, the Green Rakshasa's body had merged with top-grade materials used for Weapon forging, making his physical strength no different from that of top-grade weapons.

Although he had not practiced any Body Refinement Techniques, the effects were similar, and even stronger.

"Brother, I must be honest, I have a request."

Having made up his mind to be as thick-skinned as necessary, Feng Danqing, without a hint of embarrassment but respectfully, looked at Xu Fan and said, "You see, after this Martial Arts exchange meeting is over, could you possibly stay on Hong Kong Island a little longer? I'd like to return the hospitality and properly host you and your two followers."

In a short time, it might be difficult to develop a close relationship with Xu Fan, so Feng Danqing was contemplating keeping Xu Fan and his people around.

By then, he would host them to the best of his abilities.

Even if he couldn't sway Xu Fan's followers to his side, having them at least instill the art of Body Refinement in his talented subordinates would not have been in vain for all the effort he went through to ingratiate himself.

Looking at the polite demeanor of the Feng Family's future successor, Xu Fan intuitively understood his intent.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Young Master Feng, I'm not withholding secrets, but the skills of my two subordinates are really not something the average person can learn."

The art of Corpse Refinement is too cruel, and these two Living Corpses following him were not his own creation.

The Miaojiang Forbidden Technique could indeed bring about a significant enhancement in strength, but it also demanded life in return.

Xu Fan had no intention of imparting this knowledge to anyone.

"Brother, rest assured, my people are all exceptionally talented individuals. Moreover, if you are willing to help me, I will make sure you won't be disappointed."

Feng Danqing did not take Xu Fan's tactful refusal to heart.

Over the years, to cultivate talent, he had sought out individuals who were one in a thousand! How could they be ordinary?

Xu Fan's refusal was merely because Feng hadn't offered the right conditions yet.

"How about you name your price?"

Saying this, Feng Danqing directly put the matter bluntly.

Truth be told, he wouldn't blink an eye even if Xu Fan asked for over a billion at that moment.

If he could cultivate a few experts for the Feng Family, that would be priceless, well beyond the measure of money, wouldn't it?

"..."

Feng Danqing's persistence was somewhat amusing to Xu Fan.

From his appearance, it seemed as though he thought Xu Fan was holding out for a higher offer?

"Young Master Feng, first off, I don't lack money; second, as I said, the techniques of my subordinates would lead to death, no matter who practices them. Do you understand?"

Xu Fan's words left no room for negotiation, and Feng Danqing, upon hearing them, couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.

He didn't doubt the credibility of Xu Fan's words, but instead grew more curious about the young man's identity.

One must know that nowadays, the number of people who could regard money as inconsequential before themselves was not large.

"Well, alright then, consider it me being nosy."

Feng Danqing laughed and then dropped the subject.

Soon, under Feng Danqing's guidance, Xu Fan arrived at the rear hall of the Precious Lotus Temple.

One could see that by this time, the rear hall had already gathered quite a number of people who looked to be the martial artists who had come for the martial arts exchange meeting, as well as the core members of the three major families.

There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. With many experts rushing in for this martial arts exchange, aside from sharing insights from various aspects, more importantly, they also wished to determine the superior among them.

If one could seize the top position in this martial arts exchange and subjugate everyone with one's cultivation level, not to mention the fawning of the three major families on Hong Kong Island, in the future, on the land of Huaxia, one would also be revered by all.

As for being first, Xu Fan wasn't too interested, and the same went for the currying favor of the three major families.

His only purpose for rushing here this time was to eliminate the threat posed by that person for Feng Huang.

Those who had gathered in the rear hall, aside from the people from the three major families of Hong Kong Island, already numbered over a hundred.

Not a single one of the martial arts masters from all over Huaxia, who Xu Fan was scrutinizing this time, had a cultivation level below Great Achievement in Neijia.

Among these people, there were likely hidden masters of the Innate level.

It was also uncertain whether that creditor of Feng Huang's was hiding among these people.

As Xu Fan cast a glance over these individuals, he thought to himself that even if that person wasn't mingling in the crowd, he should be observing from the shadows.

"Brother, you go ahead and mingle a bit, I've got something on, so I'll excuse myself first."

At this time someone called out to Feng Danqing, and after greeting Xu Fan, he left first.

"Phew... That was scary."

At this moment, Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had followed Xu Fan like a little follower just now, hardly daring to utter a word.

You have to understand, that was Feng Danqing of Hong Kong Island, a widely known big shot.

Standing alongside such a person, she truly felt immense pressure.

Now, as she recalled how Xu Fan dismissed Feng Danqing with indifference, Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, what's the background of these people…"

Standing beside Xu Fan, Zhong Xingyue looked around at everyone nearby and asked curiously.

Everyone present was a master of martial artists' cultivation, but explaining that to Zhong Xingyue was also somewhat headache-inducing.

Just as Xu Fan was pondering how to explain to her, a commotion suddenly arose from nearby.

"Heh, Master Lei? Someone with the surname Lei, you think you're worthy of being called a master?"

Following this disdainful sneer, all the people in the rear hall turned to look.

One could see that the one who had spoken was a burly, bald man.

His body was muscular as if made of steel, making him resemble a giant bear standing on its hind legs!

In contrast to his grim appearance at this moment, the 'Master Lei' he was ridiculing seemed slightly frail.

However, with an age above forty and an intangible air of a grandmaster about him, the title "master" didn't seem to carry much water.

"Yu Xiaodong, everyone respects me, Lei, enough to address me as a master, are you saying you still don't accept it?"

Shaking his white practice garment, Master Lei then looked over at Yu Xiaodong.

The eye contact between the two suggested they might come to blows at any moment!
