Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Easily Under Control Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Easily Under Control Yue Mingzhu also noticed Jiang Fan’s unusual behavior.

She walked over and took a look, discovering that it was still the same as the footprints on the previous wall,

an odd script that could easily cause dizziness after reading it.

However, this time the characters were larger, and she could barely make them out. She read aloud:

“Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, heavy as Mount Tai, can only be moved by Divinity Transformation.”

Divinity Transformation?

Yue Mingzhu felt a wave of dizziness: “Divinity Transformation, that’s the legendary realm above Nascent Soul.”

“Every one of them is a celestial figure, a dragon with its head seen but tail hidden.”

“Only such people can shake this Pill Furnace?”

“No wonder I can’t move it.”

She exhaled slightly.

It seemed it wasn’t due to her incompetence, but because this Pill Furnace indeed had significant issues.

She wondered what kind of heaven-defying material it was made of to be this heavy.

Yue Mingzhu continued reading:

Yue Mingzhu looked puzzled: “A Soul Master can also take it?”

“Could it be that this Pill Furnace becomes lighter when encountered by a Soul Master?”

“However, a Five-Star Soul Master is a bit of a joke. Such an existence is only seen in books.”

“Even the Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is just a Three-Star Soul Master.”

Jiang Fan seemed thoughtful.

Could a Soul Master take this Pill Furnace?

He stared at the characters on the ground, engraved with Soul Power.

A realization dawned on him.

Silently, he released his Soul Power, enveloping the Pill Furnace.

He attempted to lift it.

To his astonishment, with a mere thought, the Pill Furnace truly wobbled!

Unfortunately, because his Soul Power was far from reaching the level of a Five-Star Soul Master,

he couldn’t lift it.

He could only make it shake.

But this confirmed Jiang Fan’s conjecture.

This Pill Furnace required Soul Power to be lifted!

“Huh?” Yue Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and stared at the Pill Furnace, saying:

“Why does it feel like this Pill Furnace just moved?”

Jiang Fan wore a bewildered expression: “Did it?”

Yue Mingzhu pulled at the Pill Furnace, finding it still immobile, making her doubt if it was her illusion.

“Strange, why am I having so many illusions today?”

That green light was like this.

The Nine Dragon Demon Tripod was like this too.

It’s really spooky.

Jiang Fan suppressed his laughter and said: “We can’t do anything about this Pill Furnace.”

“I believe no one can take it away.”

“When we have the chance another day, we’ll take it then.”

He wasn’t worried about someone else taking the Pill Furnace.

Unless a legendary figure at the Divinity Transformation level or a Five-Star Soul Master arrived.

However, compared to such people descending upon this barren snowfield,

it was more likely that Jiang Fan would first break through to a Five-Star Soul Master.

At present, his Soul Power was equivalent to a Four-Star Soul Master.

If he could increase his Soul Power a bit more, he could take the tripod away.

Yue Mingzhu nodded: “This darn Pill Furnace will probably be abandoned here.”

“With such harsh conditions, who could take it away?”

“But… are you just leaving like this?”

“Don’t you want these bottles and jars?”

Yue Mingzhu’s attention returned to the rows of bottles and jars.

Her eyes showed a burning desire.

“Since that Nascent Soul Great Power was a Soul Master, there must be a lot of Spirit Pills.”

“Perhaps these leftovers are what he considered useless.”

“But for us, they are rare opportunities indeed.”

Jiang Fan laughed helplessly.

“No matter how good the Spirit Pills, their effectiveness has an expiration date.”

“It’s been over a hundred years here. Even if there were any, they’ve turned to ash.”

“Moreover, don’t you remember, this cave mansion has been occupied before? If there were Spirit Pills, that person would’ve used them up.”

Uh—

Yue Mingzhu felt a splash of cold water pour over her.

Her heart went cold.

She unwillingly picked up a Jade Bottle and removed the stopper.

A puff of black smoke nearly hit her face.

Just as Jiang Fan said, even if there had been Pills inside, they had turned to ashes.

Yet, she persisted, opening several bottles and jars, only to find the same result.

This left her feeling devastated.

“I almost fell to my death, and all I got was one explosive jade talisman?”

No one knew how much hope she had placed on discovering the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion.

But the outcome was miles apart from her expectations!

Jiang Fan felt a bit guilty.

It wasn’t that the cave mansion lacked treasures.

But most of them had gone to Jiang Fan.

He comforted her: “Miss Yue, keep a calm heart.”

“Things in this world don’t always go as desired.”

“Getting an explosive jade talisman isn’t so bad.”

Yue Mingzhu frowned deeply.

He’s not wrong.

An explosive jade talisman of Ninth Layer Core Formation would be a prize fought over by the Nine Sects.

Getting it meant the trip wasn’t in vain.

However, her high expectations for the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion led to great disappointment.

But, she suddenly realized.

Jiang Fan got nothing.

The explosive jade talisman was hers.

The Earth-level leg technique was not something he could cultivate.

The one mystical object he found couldn’t be taken away.

He was the one who was truly empty-handed.

Thinking of this, she felt she owed him.

“We agreed you’d take two things, but you got nothing in the end.”

She thought a bit, then removed an amulet from her neck.

A thin red cord held a pink Buddha jade amulet.

The amulet emitted a mysterious pink mist inside.

She was reluctant.

But after a moment of thought, she handed it to Jiang Fan: “Take this as my compensation.”

Feeling the residual warmth from the amulet, Jiang Fan inadvertently glanced at her ample chest.

He quickly returned it to her.

“I don’t want it.”

Yue Mingzhu said: “Keep it. It’s my defensive magical treasure worn for years.”

“As for its level… Anyway, don’t use it unless it’s a life-threatening situation.”

Seeing Jiang Fan resolutely refusing to accept it,

she directly put the amulet around his neck, discontentedly saying: “Are you a man? Why are you acting like a woman?”

Jiang Fan awkwardly said: “I’m just worried you’ll regret it.”

Yue Mingzhu chuckled: “I… I never regret it!”

Jiang Fan nodded.

Remember, you said it yourself.

The two checked the cave mansion once more, ensuring no treasure was missed, then left together.

They found themselves back at the snow-covered bottom of the cliff.

Looking at the ground filled with shocking fragments of iron chains, Yue Mingzhu couldn’t help sigh:

“It’s unbelievable I survived!”

She suddenly felt that the life-saving amulet she wore for years wasn’t so precious anymore.

After all, without Jiang Fan’s rescue,

she would likely be dead by now.

“Alright, where’s your rope?”

Yue Mingzhu asked: “I’ll help you up.”

She assumed Jiang Fan must have used a new rope to get down.

Jiang Fan paused: “Rope?”

Then he understood what she meant and said: “I didn’t bring a rope.”

What?

Yue Mingzhu’s body stiffened, her pretty eyes widening: “You didn’t set up a rope?”

“Then how did you get down here?”

Jiang Fan pointed upward and said: “I climbed down, of course.”

Climbed?

This cliff was steep and sheer; even the best climbers couldn’t safely descend it, right?

Fine, suppose luck would allow one to climb down.

But climbing back up would be impossible, wouldn’t it?

Yue Mingzhu grew anxious: “Are you stupid?”

“How could you not bring a rope?”

“You’re driving me crazy!”

She thought they had escaped to heaven.

Only to be told there was no rope!

Jiang Fan pouted, approached the cliff edge, and asked: “Are you coming?”

Yue Mingzhu grumbled: “How do we go? Can you walk on walls?”

Jiang Fan ignored her.

With spiritual power flowing underfoot, he executed Solitary Wild Goose Shadow.

Hands behind his back, he started walking up the steep cliff.

He moved with ease, as if walking on flat ground.

Yue Mingzhu was stunned.

Her eyes gradually widened, pupils contracting.

Until they shrank to a pinpoint.

She uttered in shock:

“You… your movement technique is at Great Success?”
