Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Gong Caiyi’s Investigation Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Gong Caiyi’s Investigation Fu Chaohun was stunned and quickly said, “Sect Master Gong, please wait!”

“You… you want to assign this task to Jiang Fan?”

This was completely different from what he had anticipated!

Could it be that Gong Caiyi was so spoiling Jiang Fan that she no longer cared about the bigger picture?

Ming Youlian was also extremely surprised and solemnly said, “Sect Master Gong, please reconsider!”

“Countless forces have set their sights on the Thousand-mile Eagle, including many powerful Martial Path Families.”

“Even I cannot guarantee that I can safely deliver the Thousand-mile Eagles.”

“Let alone Jiang Fan?”

Gong Caiyi acted as if she hadn’t heard.

With a stroke of her jade pen, she wrote down the task under Jiang Fan’s name.

This made Fu Chaohun both anxious and angry. He shouted, “Jiang Fan! What did you give Sect Master Gong in return?”

Just a moment ago, Gong Caiyi was vehemently opposed.

Why did her attitude make a 180-degree turn after a few whispered words in a corner?

Ming Youlian was also outraged.

She incredulously said, “Sect Master Gong, this concerns the Nine-Sect’s resistance against the Beast Tide. Please reconsider!”

“These ten Thousand-mile Eagles must not be lost!”

Although she didn’t directly ask like Fu Chaohun,

In her heart, it was hard not to suspect that Gong Caiyi had received some benefit from Jiang Fan.

Otherwise, this would be too careless.

Gong Caiyi hummed with an imposing aura, “How this sect handles matters is none of your concern!”

“The task to the Desires Sect is final. You can only choose another mission.”

Fu Chaohun was so angry his teeth itched.

Such a highly meritorious primary task was given to a piece of trash!

Unbelievable!

Helplessly, they had to choose a different task.

It was to go to the Giant Sect.

Once the task was settled, Gong Caiyi said, “You can depart after half a day.”

Preparing the Spirit Beasts, loading the carts, and pre-departure checks all took time.

Taking advantage of this interval, Jiang Fan wanted to see if he could break through his current realm with the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow.

“Sect Master, may I borrow the Cultivation Room?” Jiang Fan asked.

Gong Caiyi immediately guessed his intention.

She reminded him, “I suggest you have more than three days of free time before attempting a breakthrough.”

“The medicinal potency of Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow is very potent and should be used little by little.”

“Taking it all at once will result in a lot of medicinal power leaking out before being absorbed.”

Is that so?

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and still said, “I’ll give it a try.”

Could the medicinal potency of Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow escape the absorption of my Transparent Spirit Root?

Gong Caiyi helplessly said, “You’re really stubborn.”

“Fine, use my secret Cultivation Chamber. Try a small amount first and you’ll understand the potency of this medicine.”

Under the envious eyes of Fu Chaohun,

Gong Caiyi led Jiang Fan to a fragrant secret chamber in the back hall of the main hall.

It contained the items Gong Caiyi usually used for cultivation.

There were also several silk martial robes for her to change into during cultivation, along with a chest wrap…

Wait, a chest wrap?

Jiang Fan’s gaze fell upon a silver embroidered brocade chest wrap on a shelf in the corner.

He couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“Why aren’t you going in?” Gong Caiyi looked at the motionless Jiang Fan with a puzzled expression.

Following his gaze, her face turned slightly red. She quickly walked over and hastily bundled up the martial robes and chest wrap together, holding them in her arms.

With a face tinged with redness, she walked out of the chamber.

As she passed by Jiang Fan, she gave him a resentful glance.

“So young and already learning bad habits.”

“Cultivate well!”

“Half a day later, I will inspect your cultivation results!”

With that, she kicked his buttocks, sending him stumbling into the chamber.

She closed the chamber door behind him.

Jiang Fan rubbed his buttocks, looking speechless, “You left them lying around and now you blame me.”

“So unreasonable.”

Time was pressing, so he sat cross-legged on a bear skin mat.

He took out the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow and swallowed a mouthful without hesitation.

Sure enough.

Immediately, a scorching breath surged within him, like a blaze.

The powerful medicinal energy spread to his limbs and bones, releasing an incredibly pure spiritual energy.

The amount of spiritual energy was a hundred times that of a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

An ordinary person could absorb at most fifty percent of the energy; the rest would uncontrollably dissipate through the pores and seven apertures.

But for Jiang Fan, with his Transparent Spirit Root.

This didn’t exist.

With the operation of his mental method, his Spirit Root absorbed spiritual energy from all directions like the roots of a great tree.

The erupting spiritual energy was captured without a trace left.

Refined into pure spiritual power, it settled into the Spirit Pond in his dantian.

Two hours passed.

Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes.

When he looked within, he saw that the liquefied spiritual power in his Spirit Pond was shimmering, almost filling the pond.

“Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer!”

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed joy; his spiritual power had almost doubled!

“The later stages of Foundation Establishment, the greater the gap between each layer!”

Jiang Fan had an epiphany.

He was confident that if he encountered a strong enemy like Black Lotus again, he wouldn’t need as many moves.

Within three moves, he could end the battle.

Seeing that he still had two hours,

he didn’t plan to waste time.

The place he was going was the Desires Sect.

He heard that demon beasts were restless there, and a Beast Tide could erupt at any moment.

He had to be well prepared.

He immediately took out some medicinal materials and started refining on the spot.

Soon after.

Over a hundred small, red beans-like peculiar pills were refined.

The special fragrance which had a fatal attraction to demon beasts made the little Qilin, sleeping soundly in his wide robe, poke out.

It kept sniffing with its nose, moving closer to the pills.

Its mouth was watering.

With sleepy eyes, it communicated telepathically with Jiang Fan, “Master is so kind, making Spirit Pills for me again.”

However.

When it saw the pills clearly, it quickly recoiled.

Its eyes widened, fully awake.

It ground its teeth and said, “Master, why did you make this stuff?”

It hadn’t forgotten how it, a fearless spirit beast that could traverse space, had been defeated by Jiang Fan.

Yes, it was precisely these pills with a fatal allure to demon beasts.

After eating one back then, it had fainted on the spot!

When it woke up, Jiang Fan gave it a multiple-choice question about being steamed, stir-fried, or made into soup.

Seeing these pills again, it couldn’t help but grind its teeth in hatred.

“It’s not for you. What are you afraid of?”

Jiang Fan put all the pills into a jade bottle.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door from Gong Caiyi outside, “How’s your cultivation coming along?”

Jiang Fan quickly pushed the little Qilin’s head back in and said, “Don’t come out!”

Then he calmly opened the door.

Gong Caiyi walked in and casually closed the stone door behind her.

In the not-so-spacious chamber, the two of them were left alone.

This made Jiang Fan involuntarily think of the chest wrap he had seen earlier, and his heart began to race, “Sect Master, what are you doing?”

Gong Caiyi also sensed the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere and cleared her throat, “Although you have the Nascent Soul Strike Jade Talisman,”

“I am still worried that you might not be able to handle everything.”

“Attack me with all your might, and I will test your true strength.”

True strength?

Jiang Fan nodded slightly. He also wanted to know how much his strength had grown after breaking through a realm.

“Okay! Sect Master, be careful,” Jiang Fan reminded her.

Then he began to channel his spiritual power.

“Be careful?”

Gong Caiyi chuckled.

She was a dignified Sect Master, a martial artist in the Late Core Formation Realm.

What realm was Jiang Fan in?

Could he even touch her?

“Just do it!”

Jiang Fan frowned and said, “Sect Master, don’t be careless. Getting hurt wouldn’t be good.”

Getting hurt?

Gong Caiyi was both amused and exasperated, “Alright, alright, whatever you say.”

She smiled and casually gathered a tenth of her spiritual power into her palm.

Just enough to make a defense.

Jiang Fan nodded and stopped hesitating.

Without using any magic artifacts, his most powerful technique was undoubtedly the “Heavenly Ruined Finger.”

Immediately, he channeled all his spiritual power.

He roared, “Purple Energy Comes from the East!”

He pointed, and a dazzling purple beam shot directly at Gong Caiyi.

Gong Caiyi smiled and raised her palm.

She gently blocked the purple beam and said cheerfully, “Not bad, you’ve learned a new finger technique.”

She clearly remembered the fragmented earth-level finger technique move that Jiang Fan had comprehended on Moke Stone Wall.

However.

Just as she spoke.

Her smile froze on her face!

Because she felt a scorching pain from her palm!

The tenth of her gathered spiritual power in her palm.

Had been pierced!!!
