Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Great Elder’s Difficulties

What rendered them speechless the most.

Was it because they couldn’t secure Jiang Fan, and fell ill out of anger?

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly.

He didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately began to refine the Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills in a methodical manner.

His technique was so proficient, completely unlike the panicked disciples.

It drew exclamations of awe from the many disciples.

Not long after, the medicine pills were ready.

Su Qiuning examined them and exclaimed, “Top-grade Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills!”

“Even Master might not be able to refine these!”

Jiang Fan said, “Quickly give them to Elder Wen to take.”

Su Qiuning nodded and immediately rushed back into the hall.

Not long after.

She came out wiping her tears, looking very sad.

Jiang Fan’s heart sank, “The medicine didn’t work?”

Yuan Zhiyu sneered, “A fierce set of actions like a tiger, only to see the disciples cry over the effect.”

Gong Caiyi breathed a strange sigh of relief.

“That’s more like it; if he were proficient in everything, it would truly be strange.”

A disciple who could master movement techniques, have high Sword Path Talent, and refine medicine.

She would be jealous too.

Luckily, his medicine refining wasn’t great.

But who knew, Su Qiuning shook her head repeatedly, “It’s not that.”

“The medicine worked very well, as soon as Elder Wen took it, she immediately woke up.”

Jiang Fan was stunned, “Then why are you crying, making everyone misunderstand?”

Su Qiuning cried again, “Because Master knew you refined this medicine, and it’s better than what she can refine.”

“She pounded her legs, sighed to the sky a few times, and then fainted again.”

A silence fell over the front of the hall.

For a moment, no one knew whether to cry or laugh.

It seemed, the more Jiang Fan demonstrated his talent in medicine refining, the worse his Master’s heart condition became.

Jiang Fan handed the remaining few Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills to Su Qiuning with a bitter face.

“As long as I’m here, your Master’s illness is not going to get better, farewell.”

Then he cupped his hands toward the dazed Gong Caiyi, “Sect Master Gong, let’s go, so not to disturb Elder Wen’s recovery.”

“Oh, oh.” Gong Caiyi followed Jiang Fan in a daze.

She stared at Jiang Fan’s back, full of disbelief.

She whispered again, “Zhiyu, where exactly did you hear this news?”

“Look at him yourself, does he seem like someone without a Spirit Root?”

Yuan Zhiyu even doubted herself if she had been deceived, watching Jiang Fan’s back, stammering, “I-I’ll ask around some more!”

Gong Caiyi sighed softly, looking at Jiang Fan with a trace of envy, “Sect Master Liu is really fortunate.”

“If only I had such a disciple.”

Yuan Zhiyu stuck out her tongue, “Master, our sect is for women, there’s no precedent for accepting men.”

Gong Caiyi glared at her, “Do you need to remind me of that?”

“Can’t I even express a bit of envy?”

She was just sighing with emotion.

Actually taking Jiang Fan as a disciple, that was absolutely impossible.

It was already dusk by then.

They spent a day touring three mountain peaks.

Jiang Fan led them back to Sect Master Peak first.

When passing the foot of Reincarnation Peak.

A small beast with reddish-brown fur was munching loudly on some Spirit Ginseng it had stolen from who knows where.

When it spotted Jiang Fan passing under the tree, it immediately recognized him.

With its dark little nose twitching, it threw the Spirit Ginseng in its hand at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was very alert, he waved his sleeve and sent the Spirit Ginseng flying away.

Then he looked up, locking eyes with the little spiritual beast.

The little spiritual beast mischievously turned its back on him, wiggled its bottom, then dashed into the dense forest.

Jiang Fan was furious!

That wretched creature!

He was about to chase after it but considering the dense forest was part of the Great Elder’s Reincarnation Peak, he had to stop.

It wasn’t appropriate to go to Reincarnation Peak with Gong Caiyi and the others.

Yuan Zhiyu also noticed the little spiritual beast.

She was ecstatic, glancing at Jiang Fan, then whispered in Gong Caiyi’s ear about her discovery.

“What?”

Gong Caiyi was overjoyed.

The purpose of her visit to Green Cloud Sect was to find that little spiritual beast.

She tried to remain calm, pointing to Reincarnation Peak, “What is that place? I want to go up and have a look.”

Ah?

Jiang Fan looked troubled, “It’s getting late, let’s come back tomorrow.”

Gong Caiyi couldn’t wait, she started climbing the steps, “Then I’ll go by myself.”

Jiang Fan couldn’t let her go up alone.

He had to stop a passing disciple to send a message to Sect Master Peak.

Then he followed Gong Caiyi, climbing up to Reincarnation Peak all the way.

At that moment, Reincarnation Peak was holding evening practice.

The Great Elder, Feng Guchan, was personally instructing his disciples, guiding them in comprehension in front of an ancient wall filled with sword and knife marks, as well as fist and foot imprints.

“Sect Master Gong? Quick, bring spiritual tea and spiritual fruits!”

Feng Guchan was greatly surprised.

He never thought the Sect Master would arrange for Sect Master Gong to come to Reincarnation Peak.

So he hadn’t made any preparations.

Gong Caiyi smiled, “Elder Feng, no need for such formalities, I was just passing by and saw the beautiful scenery, so I came up to have a look.”

Feng Guchan couldn’t know she was here to find the little spiritual beast.

He immediately started arranging things enthusiastically, “Shall I personally show Sect Master Gong around?”

They were all present; what about the little spiritual beast?

Even if it was found, it would be easily noticed by them, making it hard to take it out of Green Cloud Sect when the time came.

“I have visited several peaks in a row and feel a bit tired, I’ll just watch your disciples’ comprehension here.”

“I’ll let my disciple Zhiyu walk around on her own.”

Yuan Zhiyu understood and said, “Master, I’ll go myself then.”

Feng Guchan immediately called Cao Zhen over, “You go accompany Zhiyu.”

Yuan Zhiyu said, “No need, I prefer to be alone.”

“This is not proper; word could get out that Reincarnation Peak was inhospitable.”

Feng Guchan’s eyes flashed with suspicion.

Obviously, Gong Caiyi wanted her disciple to act alone.

Could it be that they were searching for something on Reincarnation Peak?

Suddenly.

He saw Jiang Fan and his heart suddenly understood.

It was Liu Wuchen’s scheme.

Surely he requested Gong Caiyi’s help, under the guise of a tour, to probe Reincarnation Peak’s secrets.

Thinking of this, he felt anger.

Trying to scheme against him, was it?

Preposterous! @@novelbin@@

He looked at Jiang Fan with a look of malice, “I remember your name is Jiang Fan, right?”

Jiang Fan bowed calmly, “Disciple Jiang Fan, greets the Great Elder.”

With Gong Caiyi there, how could the Great Elder act against him?

Feng Guchan glanced at Gong Caiyi, then back at Jiang Fan, feeling the need to make an example.

First, to warn Liu Wuchen.

Second, to let Gong Caiyi see Sect Master Peak’s folly.

“You, a Martial Artist without a Spirit Root, yet highly valued by the Sect Master, entrusted with accompanying Sect Master Gong, must have some outstanding qualities, right?”

“Coincidentally, my disciples are comprehending the Moke Stone Wall.”

“Would you like to give it a try?”

Oh?

Gong Caiyi looked surprised, “Elder Feng is generous, but Jiang Fan’s aptitude is too low, it might not be suitable.”

The Moke Stone Wall was a piece of Outer Heaven Meteorite.

It held the battle marks of strong warriors and their Martial Path wills.

Those with strong comprehension could gain powerful moves from it.

It was said that the strongest comprehended a high-level Profound Level sword move.

The downside was that those with poor comprehension could be harmed by the residual Martial Path will if they forced understanding.

At worst, they could feel a headache; at most, they could faint.

Jiang Fan had no Spirit Root, indicating average comprehension; it wasn’t suitable for him to participate.

Feng Guchan laughed, “You are mistaken.”

“Jiang Fan is the Sect Master’s beloved disciple; if he doesn’t dare to try the Moke Stone Wall, wouldn’t that make Sect Master Peak look like it took in a waste?”

Good heavens!

With that statement, if Jiang Fan still hesitated, it would indeed embarrass Sect Master Peak.

Comprehending moves, right?

So far, no cultivation technique had posed a problem for him.

He cupped his hands, “Since the Great Elder says so, I’ll give it a try.”

“But let me make it clear in advance; any move I comprehend remains mine, please don’t make it difficult later, Great Elder.”

Hmm?

Gong Caiyi’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be possible!

Did this guy also have great comprehension?

How could things be so unreasonable?
