Supreme Emptiness

After witnessing the extraordinary effect of the Plant Essence, Chen Silin didn't dare to accept it.

She hurriedly declined, "I really can't accept this!"

Xu Youran saw her decline repeatedly and, annoyed, stepped forward, pulled open her collar, and stuffed the Plant Essence inside.

"Don't be polite, after all, you don't consider Fan an outsider."

Her words had a double meaning, startling Chen Silin.

She quickly explained, "Youran, listen to me, it's not what you think."

"The reason I'm polite to Jiang Fan is because... because..."

She stammered, unable to continue.

Without Jiang Fan's permission, how could she dare reveal his identity as a Soul Master?

"Enough, you're stammering, what's there to explain?"

Xu Youran gave her a complicated look, "We've known each other for so many years, don't I know what you're thinking?"

"You like Jiang Fan, that's fine, but he's my fiancé, so keep it in check."

"I don't want our years of friendship to be ruined over a man."

Her words hit the mark, making Chen Silin blush like a steamed crab, so nervous she could hardly speak.

"You... you really misunderstood, I really don't!"

She was about to cry.

No matter how she tried to explain, she couldn't make it clear.

Xu Youran poked her forehead, "I told you, no need to deny it!"

"We're leaving!"

She took Jiang Fan's arm and left the auction house with light steps.

Some things, rather than burying them in their hearts and causing a rift between them...

It's better to be straightforward and set the boundaries in advance.

Given Chen Silin's character, now that Xu Youran had made it clear she didn't want Jiang Fan to be disturbed, she would know what to do in the future.

Jiang Fan turned back to look at Chen Silin, who had a bitter smile on her face, and puzzled, he asked, "Could it be that you really misunderstood?"

Xu Youran firmly said, "No way! She likes you, for sure!"

Well!

But Jiang Fan's intuition told him there had to be some misunderstanding.

When they got back home...

Jiang Fan also took out a quarter of the Plant Essence.

Sitting cross-legged, he immediately swallowed a bottle.

The immense energy contained in the Plant Essence instantly filled his body, giving him a feeling of swelling.

He immediately began to run the and refined the pure energy into his own Spiritual Power.

Not long after, his whole body trembled.

"As expected of the Plant Essence, I successfully broke through the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation!" Jiang Fan looked delighted.

Unfortunately, the Plant Essence only worked the first time it was consumed.

Looking at the last quarter of the Plant Essence, Jiang Fan put it away.

It was still midday.

Jiang Fan remembered that the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid for today hadn't been delivered to the Chen Family yet.

And tomorrow was the day for the betrothal gifts, he might not have time to deliver it then.

Thinking about this, he decided to refine the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid for the next few days all at once.

This busy work lasted until late at night.

Looking at the over three hundred bottles of Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid in his arms, Jiang Fan, panting, brought his tired body to the Chen Family.

"So many?" Chen Silin was stunned.

Jiang Fan said, "I have things to do in the next few days, so I won't be coming."

"As for the money, give it to me after you sell this batch of Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid."

He left after speaking.

Chen Silin was secretly grateful, she really couldn't come up with three million taels of silver.

Luckily, Jiang Fan trusted her.

Watching him leave, Chen Silin started counting the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.

Suddenly, she was covered by a shadow.

Looking up, she was startled.

Under the moonlight, a giant eagle circling down to land.

On the eagle's back stood a man and a woman.

They were Vice Pavilion Master Chen Zhengdao of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Liu Qingxian, the daughter of the Sect Master of Green Cloud Sect.

The two of them flew down swiftly.

Liu Qingxian hurried forward, sizing up Chen Silin, "Are you the Chen Family's miss?"

Chen Silin, full of vigilance, sternly asked, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Chen Family's important grounds?"

She vaguely felt that the cultivation of these two was extremely powerful.

Especially the man, who gave her a feeling of suffocation.

Chen Zhengdao, with his hands behind his back, said, "I am Chen Zhengdao, Vice Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and this is the daughter of the Sect Master of Green Cloud Sect."

Ah?

Chen Silin was shocked, hurriedly bowing low, "Junior Chen Silin greets the two seniors."

Her heart beat wildly, and she felt anxious, having no idea why these two powerful figures would appear at the Chen Family.

Liu Qingxian, in an urgent tone, asked, "I heard you hosted an auction today. Is it true that the final auction item was the Beauty-Restore Pill?"

The news of the Beauty-Restore Pill had spread quickly.

In just one day, it had spread to the surrounding cities.

Upon hearing this, the two hurried to the Chen Family to investigate.

Because the Beauty-Restore Pill was a Third Grade Spirit Pill.

Only a Three-Star Soul Master could successfully refine such a pill.

The appearance of a Three-Star Soul Master in the territory of the Green Cloud Sect was no small matter.

Upon hearing this, Chen Silin actually felt relieved.

Since cooperating with Jiang Fan, she had anticipated that forces would come to her asking about the Soul Master.

So she had already prepared herself mentally.

"Reporting to Senior Liu, it is indeed true."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxian's stunning face showed a trace of amazement, "Have you seen the alchemist?"

Chen Silin replied smoothly, "He has recently been cooperating with the Chen Family to refine Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid."

"However, I don't know his appearance, age, name, or even gender."

"He covers his body with loose robes, so although I'm curious, I dare not ask."

Hearing this answer, Liu Qingxian's eyes filled with disappointment.

She had hoped to find out his appearance and then locate him.

If they could bring a Three-Star Soul Master to the Green Cloud Sect, their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically in a short time!

Chen Zhengdao, on the other hand, noticed the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid on the table, picked up a bottle, opened it, and sniffed it.

His eyes sparkled with rays of light, "Its quality is much better than the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid on the market!"

"This absolutely cannot be refined by a Two-Star Soul Master; this person is indeed a Three-Star Soul Master!"

"Miss, when will he come again?"

Chen Silin calmly pointed at the Qi Cultivation Liquid on the table, "That senior said he had things to do these days, so he made a lot in advance."

"I dare not confirm when he will come next."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengdao nodded slightly, "Thank you for informing us, this is for you."

He casually handed her a powerful talisman, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Chen Silin gratefully accepted, "Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior."

"Qingxian, let's go."

Chen Zhengdao jumped on the giant eagle, and Liu Qingxian, with an unwilling look, quickly followed him up.

The giant eagle let out a shrill cry and soared up into the sky, disappearing from sight.

But.

It actually hadn't flown far away.

Instead, it hid within a dark cloud.

"Uncle Chen, are we just going to let it go like this? That's a Three-Star Soul Master. The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion seems to be only a Three-Star Soul Master, right?"

"For such a figure, even if we don't bring him under our wing, we should at least investigate his identity clearly."

"How can we just leave like this?"

Liu Qingxian anxiously said.

Chen Zhengdao, with his hands behind his back, looked down at Chen Silin's every move, his eyes slightly narrowed, "Who said we're leaving?"

"Aren't we searching for him right now?"

Liu Qingxian was stunned, "Staying here, do you expect that Soul Master to come out by himself?"

Chen Zhengdao revealed a profound smile, "Didn't you notice, the little girl from the Chen Family, her answers flowed too smoothly?"

Liu Qingxian recalled and also sensed something was off, "Indeed, it was very smooth."

"It seemed like she prepared the answers in advance."

Chen Zhengdao nodded,

"I suspect she is deliberately covering for this Three-Star Soul Master."

"To find that Soul Master, we just need to follow her, see who she comes into contact with in the next few days, and it will become clear."
