Supreme Emptiness

According to the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Those with higher merit rankings have priority in selection.

She wanted to snatch the True Spirit Blood, so she could only resort to this method and placate Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan blinked.

"The insights of the 'Qian Lan True Fire Technique'?"

"What would a disciple want that for? The disciple can cultivate on his own."

Qian Lan Fairy's mouth twitched.

Little rascal, showing off your talent, are you?

She maintained a fox-like fake smile and said: "You've only understood the entry-level stage."

"To cultivate deeply, you'll still need my insights."

Jiang Fan said: "No need."

"I've already cultivated to Small Success, look."

He pressed his palms together, and when he opened them again, there was a small blood-red lotus.

Identical to the one exhibited by Luo Yingshuang.

Even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master raised his eyebrows.

"You've already refined that Asura Karmic Fire? So quickly?"

Yun Huo clicked his tongue: "This... this is the fire control of Small Success, isn't it?"

"In just a few days?"

Qian Lan Fairy's almond-shaped eyes widened, her face showing an expression as if she had seen a ghost, stammering:

"You... you've actually cultivated to Small Success?"

"It took me several years."

Jiang Fan scratched his head and said: "I don't know how it happened either."

"Just casually cultivating, and it worked."

"Senior Qian Lan, you're not going to take a moment to calm down, are you?"

Qian Lan Fairy's state of mind was already crumbling.

Hearing this, she immediately understood that Jiang Fan was deliberately provoking her, and angrily said: "You little thing!"

"Is cultivating to Small Success such a big deal?"

"Do you dare to compare flames with me, see whose flame is more might…"

Suddenly.

The lotus in Jiang Fan's palm flared up suddenly, expanding tenfold in size.

The power it radiated seemed even more formidable than Qian Lan Fairy's.

This was due to absorbing the Asura Karmic Fire of the wild boar.

Qian Lan Fairy didn't have a group of dog buddies helping her find any Asura Karmic Fire.

The red flames reflected on Qian Lan Fairy's stunned face, turning a shade of red.

After a good while, she finally snapped back to her senses.

Biting her red lips with trembling rage: "This is the 'Qian Lan True Fire Technique' I risked my life for!"

"And you actually cultivated better than me?"

"Tianzhou, you handle him, you better handle him!"

"He's doing it on purpose to piss me off!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master scratched his nose.

This was quite disheartening.

"Ahem, Jiang Fan, go and pick, don't anger your Senior Qian Lan any longer."

Jiang Fan cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Pavilion Master."

"Senior Qian Lan, farewell."

He said with a half-smile and quickly ran off.

There was no need to guess; he already knew Qian Lan Fairy was trying to scheme for priority exchange rights, certainly for the highest-valued True Spirit Blood.

Qian Lan Fairy, already fuming, exploded upon hearing this.

"Yun Tianzhou!"

"Look at your disciple, he's doing it on purpose!"

"You better discipline him!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master chuckled awkwardly: "How am I supposed to discipline him? He hasn't done anything wrong."

Qian Lan Fairy was practically driven mad by Jiang Fan: "If you won't, then I will!"

Yun Huo coughed dryly and said: "Junior Sister, calm down."

"He is a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he's not under your jurisdiction."

"Maybe if you become the Pavilion Master's wife someday, you might have some say over him."

Qian Lan Fairy glared at him, then looked at Jiang Fan's retreating figure in the treasure vault with eyes blazing with fire.

"You little rascal, one day I'll be able to handle you!"

In the treasure vault.

Jiang Fan first exchanged for that bottle of True Spirit Blood, and then exchanged for all the Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens and Talisman Arrows.

Three Talisman Arrows.

Ten Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens.

He didn't take anything else.

Whether it's for the departing disciples' disperse resources, or for rebuilding the sect in Taicang State, massive resources are needed.

Picking only what he needed would suffice.

Next, he went to the team's treasure vault.

Last time he only exchanged two Bright Light Brocade Robes; this time he exchanged all the remaining five in one go.

After finishing these.

He left the treasure vault.

When he came out, Qian Lan Fairy was standing there with her arms crossed, wearing a frosty expression, her small feet stamping on the ground.

Looking very angry.

Jiang Fan smiled.

He took out the True Spirit Blood, leaving half of it.

From his experience with cultivating the Divine Image, half a bottle of True Spirit Blood was enough for ten sessions.

More than sufficient.

The remaining half, he tossed to Qian Lan Fairy.

Her face lit up with joy, just about to catch it, but Jiang Fan changed direction, throwing it to Yun Huo.

Though he still gave it to them, it undoubtedly made Qian Lan Fairy's anger spike even higher.

"You little thing! Alright, you're doing this on purpose to rile me up, huh?"

"Once we're in Taicang State, we'll see how I deal with you!"

"I don't believe I can't manage you!"

She ground her teeth hard.

Yun Huo held the True Spirit Blood excitedly; this was enough for both him and his junior sister to use.

Then, he showed a look of guilt.

"Jiang Fan, not only did you save us, but thanks to you, we've tasted Soul Wine."

"And now you're giving us half a bottle of True Spirit Blood."

"Is there anything you need that we can do for you?"

Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said:

"Could the two seniors stay on the continent for a few more days?"

"In a few days, there's an occasion where your presence is needed to hold the ground."

With two Second-stage Nascent Soul experts around, even if the Sky Demon Emperor had the courage, he wouldn't dare interfere with Concubine Yunxia and Sea Charm's tribulation.

Besides, if things turned dangerous, they could save the two women.

Upon hearing this.

Yun Huo and Qian Lan Fairy exchanged a glance, their eyes showing some reluctance.

"Jiang Fan, it's not that I'm unwilling—I'm afraid it's difficult for us to linger a few more days."

Qian Lan Fairy spoke up.

Though she was annoyed with Jiang Fan, she was still very grateful to him and explained: "The appearance of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar has caused a Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road to materialize over Taicang State."

"Some have seen wondrous sights at the end of the ancient road, comparable to legends."

"We two are leaving at this crucial moment because all the major divine sects are preparing for it."

"I'm afraid we really can't stay any longer."

Jiang Fan, I'm not targeting you, but I'm afraid we really can't stay any longer.

After hearing this.

Jiang Fan nodded his head in understanding and said, "I won't trouble you two with this then."

"Let me request one other thing instead."

He took out the pale Infinite Ring.

It had been drained of its last bit of energy since last used, turning white again.

Only the Nascent Soul Power of humans could recharge it, and he trusted the two seniors with this.

Jiang Fan said coughingly: "Better not say anything, I'd hate to see you lose sleep over this again."
