What?! Bullying happened in the outer sect too? Li Fan was furious!

Qingxuan Sect, a certain quiet room.

While Lin Mo's cultivation level surged, Li Fan, who had been unconscious for two days, finally sat up from the bed.

At this moment, not only had his injuries fully recovered, but he had also, due to a blessing in disguise, advanced in his cultivation, breaking through to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Of course, he felt little joy about this.

Because he knew that his meager progress was still not even worthy of carrying Brother Mo's shoes compared to his powerful strength!

After recovering from his injuries, Li Fan did not rush to leave the quiet room; instead, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and seemed to be diligently trying to comprehend something.

Suddenly, his Aura changed drastically.

An invisible yet incredibly sharp Intent erupted from his body, causing the air in the quiet room to emit faint hissing sounds as if being cut.

A moment later, that sharp Intent slowly receded, and Li Fan then opened his eyes.

"Hoo... I really didn't expect to have an unexpected gain after recovering from my injuries!"

Li Fan's face was full of excitement, clearly in high spirits.

"Good boy, your Comprehension Ability is not bad. Your Sword Intent has now advanced from one-tenth to one and a half tenths."

Sword Elder's voice rang in his mind, carrying a hint of praise.

"No, this is actually all thanks to Brother Mo."

"If I hadn't observed his unimaginably powerful Sword Intent up close before, I would never have gained such an understanding in such a short time."

Li Fan shook his head, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"Hmm, that's true."

Sword Elder deeply agreed.

"As the saying goes, the stones of other mountains can be used to polish jade."

"But the premise is that you yourself must first be a piece of jade."

"However, if you are just a stone from a latrine, then no matter how much you polish it, it will only become even more foul and hard."

"But fortunately, you, boy, are much stronger than a stone from a latrine, which makes this old man very pleased!"

Sword Elder's words were still so blunt,

making Li Fan speechless.

"Now that your injuries have healed and your strength has improved, what do you plan to do next?"

Sword Elder continued to ask at this point.

"Sword Elder, through this experience, I deeply realize that with my current strength, even if I have comprehended Sword Intent, I am still very weak."

"So, for the next period, I plan to Cultivate peacefully within the Sect first."

"At least I need to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm or even the Spirit Sea Realm before venturing out."

"Otherwise, if I encounter a similar situation again, I might not be so lucky to be saved."

Thinking back to his encounter with the three Blood Fiends, Li Fan was clearly still shaken.

To be honest, after he first comprehended Sword Intent, his ego had indeed inflated a little.

After all, the power of Sword Intent was undeniable; with his nascent Qi Refining Realm strength, coupled with Sword Intent, he could contend with the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, within a few hundred li of this area, was already considered a minor powerhouse.

However, the subsequent reality slapped him hard, completely waking him up.

It turned out that comprehending Sword Intent was nothing special.

At least for him, in the Qi Refining Realm, even with the enhancement of Sword Intent, in front of a Golden Core True Person, he was nothing more than a slightly unique ant.

So he now understood another principle.

Only when one's own Realm is strong, is that truly strong!

"Hmm, seeking stability is also a good thing."

"Alright, I agree with your view."

Sword Elder had no objections; Li Fan's approach was very correct.

A Genius, no matter how amazing, is nothing until he has developed, and could perish at any time.

And Li Fan was currently clearly in the "nothing" stage.

So, developing steadily for a period was very necessary.

"The reason I left the Sect earlier was mainly because I was afraid that my greatly increased strength would be noticed by others."

"But now... ha, I no longer have that concern at all."

Li Fan took out the Elder token Lin Mo had given him, examined it for a few moments, and revealed a smile.

"You, boy, are overly cautious. In this small, broken Sect, if this old man doesn't want others to discover your abnormality, then who can discover it?"

Sword Elder said somewhat exasperatedly.

"Mainly, I wasn't at ease."

Li Fan chuckled, "Of course, that won't be the case now."

He put away the token and stood up.

"Since my injuries are healed, it's time to go say hello to Brother Mo."

"I wonder what Brother Mo has been doing these past two days?"

"Has anything else happened with Miss Qingyu?"

Li Fan muttered as he walked out of the quiet room, preparing to find Lin Mo.

However, he wandered around Lin Mo's small courtyard for a long time but didn't see anyone.

"Never mind, Brother Mo might be in seclusion, so I won't disturb him for now."

Unable to find Lin Mo, Li Fan could only shake his head and turn to leave.

"To be honest, although I am a Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, I actually don't know much about the true appearance of the Qingxuan Sect."

"Why not take this Opportunity to have a good look and make up for my previous regrets."

Walking on the small path of the Sect, Li Fan suddenly became interested.

Before, he was just a humble Utility Disciple, and his activity range was limited to the small area of the Menial Labor Courtyard. For other areas of the Sect, he could at most only glance from afar.

But now, holding the Elder token, his status was no longer what it used to be. Where in the entire Qingxuan Sect could he not go?

Without further ado, Li Fan immediately started walking, strolling around the Sect.

He walked and stopped along the way, almost touring the entire Sect.

Finally, he arrived at the previously unattainable... Outer Sect area!

However, as soon as he stepped into this area, he heard faint, piercing screams from a distance.

"Ah ah!"

"Don't... don't hit me!!"

"My lords!!"

"No... Grandfathers! I'll call you grandfathers!!"

"Please!"

"Just leave me one Medicinal Pill, otherwise, how can I Cultivate?!"

The wailing was full of despair.

But immediately after, a series of arrogant words drowned out that voice.

"Cultivate?"

"You still want to Cultivate?"

"Hmph, you're dreaming."

"You dog, hurry up and hand over all the Medicinal Pills on you, or I'll break your other leg!"

Hearing these extremely domineering words, Li Fan's footsteps immediately halted, and his eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot.

His originally very pleasant mood also began to sour!

"What's going on?"

"Back then, in the Menial Labor Courtyard, there was a beast like Zhang Han who bullied others every day."

"How is it that even in the Outer Sect, such things are still happening?"

"Heh... I couldn't do anything about it before."

"But now, as an Elder of the Qingxuan Sect, I'm going to take care of this!"

"I'd like to see who is acting like that beast, Zhang Han!"

Thinking of Zhang Han, Li Fan was still gritting his teeth in anger.

He recalled how he had been bullied countless times by the other party.

And the last time, even the ancient sword where Sword Elder resided was almost snatched away by the other party.

If Brother Mo hadn't intervened because he couldn't stand it, it's hard to say if he would still have this Opportunity now!

Therefore, he absolutely detested bullying among Sect Disciples, wishing he could eradicate every single instance he saw!

Thinking of this... Li Fan's face became stern, exuding an Aura that warned people to keep away, and he strode furiously towards the direction of the voices.

However, when he got closer, he was completely dumbfounded!

Because what he saw was indeed a large-scale bullying scene!

Several Outer Sect Disciples were punching and kicking a person on the ground, cursing all the while.

But the key was!

The key was... the unlucky fellow who was beaten black and blue! Crying for his parents! And curled up in a ball on the ground... was none other than Zhang Han!!!
