Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: How Many Demon Cores Do You Have Exactly Chapter 320: Chapter 320: How Many Demon Cores Do You Have Exactly Qiu Shengnan’s mouth felt bitter.

Indeed, this Supreme Elder Zhou was the most difficult to deal with.

Had she taken the wrong medicine?

How dare she come and disturb her.

Great, now she had to call her own master, Supreme Elder Sun.

Her face would be lost in the entire sect.

Jiang Fan secretly clicked his tongue.

This Supreme Elder’s temper was indeed not easy to handle!

But having come all this way to see her, he naturally couldn’t back down.

He cupped his hands and said, “Supreme Elder Zhou, junior Jiang Fan from the Green Cloud Sect, has long admired your great name.

I dare to come and pay my respects.”

Zhou Qidan glanced at him from the corner of her eye, completely ignoring him.

ɴονǤο.сο

A dignified Supreme Elder naturally disdained paying attention to a young disciple.

And a disciple disturbing her retreat, no less.

Not scolding him was considering his status as an Outer Sect disciple, not wanting to damage the peace between the two sects.

If it were a disciple from her own sect, she would’ve scolded him harshly long ago.

Jiang Fan wasn’t too surprised.

The difference in status between them was like heaven and earth.

It was surprising that she even bothered to acknowledge him.

He continued to cup his hands and said, “I deeply apologize for disturbing your retreat, senior.”

“I heard senior has been collecting demon beast materials recently.

I have some gains and would like to ask senior to appraise them.”

He didn’t mention the matter of trade.

The other party was a Supreme Elder.

How could she lower herself to trade with a junior?

Unless the value of the item was confirmed.

Zhou Qidan showed a hint of surprise and chuckled, “I’ve underestimated you.”

“There are less than five people in Myriad Swords Sect who know I’m collecting demon beast materials.”

“You have some impressive connections to find out this inside information.”

She had only revealed this information to a few other Supreme Elders.

No one else knew about it.

That this young man obtained the news made her feel a bit surprised.

However.

Could a random Outer Sect disciple easily disturb her retreat to appraise demon beast materials?

She coldly refused without hesitation, “But, this elder is not interested…”

As she spoke.

She seemed to sense something and glanced at Qiu Shengnan’s chest.

She looked surprised, “A Black Hawk demon core?”

“Boy, is this what you used to bribe Qiu Shengnan?”

Qiu Shengnan was shocked in her heart.

This had been discovered too?

She took out the black wooden box with a heavy heart, respectfully offering it without daring to deceive, “Disciple recognizes her mistake, please punish her, Supreme Elder.”

Zhou Qidan took it, opened it, and her eyes showed some brightness.

“Still fresh, recently slain.”

“The value will be higher, at least sixty thousand crystal stones on the market.”

“To see me, the Supreme Elder, you have spent a lot.”

That said, she threw the demon core into her sleeve.

Considered it as confiscated.

Qiu Shengnan had to swallow her bitterness.

Scolded and called her master.

In the end, the bribe she took was also confiscated.

Where could she complain?

Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched.

She took the demon core right in front of him without any pretense?

But this was better.

This Supreme Elder Zhou Qidan was indeed collecting demon beast materials.

“Junior has even more valuable materials for senior to appraise,” Jiang Fan said.

Zhou Qidan finally showed interest.

The Path-finding Stones were all valuable Beast King demon cores.

Perhaps this boy really did have some decent demon beast materials?

After a moment’s thought, she changed her mind and nodded, “Fine, this Supreme Elder will make an exception and appraise them for this Outer Sect little one.”

“Take them out!”

Jiang Fan, unhurriedly, first took out a crimson demon core.

Zhou Qidan was expressionless, slowly nodding, “A red-scaled evil flood dragon’s demon core, also fresh.”

“This beast is not easy to kill.”

She gave Jiang Fan a meaningful look.

Somewhat curious about where Jiang Fan got the demon core.

It couldn’t be that he had killed it himself, right?

But if he just picked it up, that was also unrealistic.

No martial artist who killed an adult red-scaled evil flood dragon would leave the demon core for this boy to pick up.

“This demon core, you could sell it for about forty or fifty thousand crystal stones, about the same as the one you used to bribe Qiu Shengnan.”

Zhou Qidan had a hint of teasing in her tone.

Implying Jiang Fan was losing out by giving up something for something lesser.

Jiang Fan knowingly nodded and then took out a jade box covered with runes, “How about this one?”

Inside the jade box lay a demon core the size of an infant’s fist, flickering with lightning arcs throughout.

Zhou Qidan slightly moved, “A Silver Winged Thunderbird’s demon core?

Also fresh?”

“Where did you get it?”

She couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

One after another, all freshly obtained.

Moreover, this one was a mid-stage Core Formation Silver Winged Thunderbird demon core.

Its hunting difficulty was much higher than that of the Black Hawk!

No way, a small disciple like Jiang Fan could have killed it, right?

Jiang Fan didn’t dare reveal its origin.

He replied, “Acquired by accident.”

Hearing the evasiveness in Jiang Fan’s answer, although Zhou Qidan was curious, she had to endure.

This time she showed some appreciation, saying, “This is a good item, an excellent material for crafting thunder attribute magical treasures.”

“Many Supreme Elders desire such a thing.”

“Find the right buyer before you sell it, don’t rush.”

She gave a sincere suggestion.

However, it was evident she wasn’t personally interested in the item.

Jiang Fan nodded and then took out another jade box.

Zhou Qidan perked up, surprised, “You have more?”

This boy, where did he get so many demon cores?

There were already four!

And each one was more valuable than the last.

She fixed her eyes on the sealed jade box and saw a demon core emitting purple-black poisonous gas.

She was startled, “A Copper Scale Black Centipede’s demon core?”

“Also fresh!”

She was stunned.

Could this boy have come from the front lines of Giant Sect?

But currently, the frontline battles occurred at the Foundation Establishment level.

No large-scale appearances of Beast Kings had been reported.

Where did he get so many Beast King level demon cores?

Moreover, the fourth demon core was the extremely rare Copper Scale Black Centipede demon core.

This beast was extremely dangerous, exceptionally cruel, and skilled in burrowing and stealth.

Only a late-stage Core Formation martial artist from the Human Clan could confidently kill it.

“Where did you get…” she couldn’t help but ask again.

Knowing Jiang Fan wouldn’t give a straightforward answer, she stopped mid-sentence.

She stared at the demon core, eyes full of wonder, “This should be the highest-level demon core since the beast tide.”

“Worth at least three hundred thousand crystal stones.”

“If used by a poison technique practitioner, the price would be even higher.”

“You’ve struck it rich.”

Qiu Shengnan, who was listening beside them, was dumbfounded.

Three hundred thousand crystal stones?

Adding the other cores, didn’t this boy have a net worth of five hundred thousand crystal stones?

Even more substantial than her own elder’s resources!

Jiang Fan saw that Zhou Qidan had no interest, and sighed inwardly.

Indeed, it was immensely difficult to impress a Supreme Elder.

Luckily, he had one last trump card.

Zhou Qidan looked at Jiang Fan with profound meaning, “Boy, you’ve opened my eyes,” she said.

“A little disciple has so many fresh demon cores.”

“I must remind you, never show them to outsiders again.”

“This Supreme Elder definitely won’t rob you.”

“But others might not be so kind.”

Hm!

She wasn’t so bad after all.

But fundamentally, it was because Zhou Qidan didn’t care much about these demon cores.

Had there been something she truly desired, she might not have robbed but would certainly have found a way to keep it.

He cupped his hands, “Thank you for your teachings, senior.”

Zhou Qidan slowly nodded, “If there’s nothing else, leave quickly.”

Saying this, she was about to close the stone door.

Jiang Fan was taken aback, “Senior, wait!”

“You haven’t finished looking at the demon cores yet.”
