Supreme Emptiness

The female disciple was startled by the sudden shout.

She lost her balance and sat down unsteadily in the muddy medicine garden.

She quickly got up and looked at the dirt on her backside. Annoyed, she looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Why did you shout?"

Jiang Fan exhaled slightly and walked over, pointing at the dangerous rose. "Is this your first time encountering such a rose?"

A hint of nervousness flashed across the female disciple’s delicate face, but she stubbornly said, "Who said that? I have this kind in my backyard."

Jiang Fan smiled but said nothing.

He picked up a dead branch from the ground and carefully poked the rose.

The result.

The apparently pink rose with white stripes, which looked quite beautiful, suddenly contracted its petals and wrapped them around the tip of the branch.

It was like a sudden attack by a fierce tiger, biting down hard on its prey.

With a snap.

The tip of the branch broke off.

Seeing this scene, the female disciple covered her mouth in astonishment.

If she had touched it with her finger just now, she could imagine the result. Even if it wasn’t bitten off, it would have been lacerated.

She blushed, bowed slightly, and said, "I’m sorry for misunderstanding you, and thank you."

Jiang Fan didn’t mind and said, "It’s okay."

He then took out a prepared jade box and a jade knife and skillfully began cutting the rose.

In no time, he filled the entire box.

Roughly estimated, it was about three pounds.

Sufficient to concoct enough Fierce Tiger Pills for someone who just finished the first layer of the Iron Blood True Scripture.

Plus, he could take away seven pounds of herbs.

No need to think, he should know what to take.

The main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Land Coral, and Black-striped Ganoderma.

Luckily, both ingredients were in the lower medicine garden and not far away.

He took out a professional container and separately harvested three and a half pounds of both ingredients.

The delicate-faced girl watched Jiang Fan’s practiced movements and couldn’t help but be amazed. "This... Junior Brother, may I ask which peak you are an outstanding disciple of?"

"I am Su Qiuning of Medicine Peak. Junior Brother, the ingredients you just harvested seem to be for the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Are you perhaps a disciple of Pill Peak?"

She was very puzzled.

The materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill were only needed by Pill Peak.

Why would disciples of other peaks need them?

Which peak’s disciple?

It’s hard to say if he could even become a peak disciple.

He coughed lightly and said, "I’m just curious about herbs. I’m not a disciple of Pill Peak."

On the first day he joined the sect, he got tricked into going to the female disciple’s Spirit Pond.

He didn’t dare to tell the truth to anyone anymore.

The identity of a Soul Master was something he would never reveal, not even under torture.

"Oh."

Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, Su Qiuning didn’t inquire further.

At this moment.

A voice came from the gate of the medicine garden: "Su Qiuning, you have fifteen minutes left. Pick the herbs quickly and come out without delay."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiuning’s face tightened.

She pulled out a prescription from her pocket, looking at the several herbs she hadn’t found yet and couldn’t help but furrow her brows. "What to do, there are still five kinds I haven’t picked."

"Let alone concoct the medicine."

"This is the last task my master has arranged for me. If I fail the examination, I will be punished with a year of closed-door cultivation."

Thinking about the year-long penalty, like imprisonment.

Her face turned pale.

Suddenly, Jiang Fan’s figure passed in front of her eyes, and she couldn’t help but brighten up.

Pressing her lips together, blushing, she said, "Junior Brother, can you help me with something?"

"Can you help me find all the herbs on this prescription?"

Finding herbs?

How difficult must a prescription be that she couldn’t even find the herbs?

He took the prescription and looked at it, and couldn’t help but be surprised. Wasn’t this the "Black Soul Bone Healing Ointment" from the Undying Medical Book?

The herbs required for it were all unique in this world.

At least, his lower-level key wasn’t sufficient to access these herbs.

No wonder she couldn’t gather all the herbs.

These herbs weren’t just rare; they were also odd and difficult for anyone without experience to find quickly.

Fortunately, all the details were recorded in the Undying Medical Book.

"Please, Junior Brother." Seeing the time pass, Su Qiuning clasped her hands in a pleading gesture.

"If you can find them, I only need one portion. The rest will be yours!"

What?

One portion of herbs, at most a pound.

The remaining nine pounds would all go to Jiang Fan?

However, he confirmed by asking, "Do you have the key to the high-level medicine garden?"

"The herbs on this prescription, ninety percent are in the high-level garden." @@novelbin@@

Seeing that Jiang Fan accurately named the herb levels, Su Qiuning felt hopeful.

She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I can freely pick ten pounds from low, medium, and high-level gardens here."

Jiang Fan felt completely relieved, saying, "Good, that’s settled!"

He checked what Su Qiuning had already harvested and quickly entered the high-level medicine garden.

Su Qiuning worriedly said, "I’ve looked here, and it seems there’s nothing."

Jiang Fan didn’t reply.

He scanned around and found some seemingly ordinary wormwood, put on gloves, and pulled them up at once.

Immediately, a bunch of golden roots appeared.

"Dragon whisker root! It’s the dragon whisker root from the prescription!"

"Yes, I forgot that dragon whisker root likes to parasitize on wild grass roots."

Next.

Jiang Fan saw an apple tree, which seemed to bear ordinary apples.

When he took out a mirror and used it to reflect the light onto the apples, they instantly turned snow white.

"Ah! Snow Crystal Fruit! It reveals its true form only under sunlight. The teacher never mentioned that!"

Afterward, Jiang Fan continuously found one rare herb after another in the high-level medicine garden.

In less than fifteen minutes.

All the required herbs on the prescription were gathered.

Jiang Fan separated out a pound and handed it to her. "Compare it to the prescription and see if anything is missing."

Su Qiuning eagerly compared them one by one, her face full of surprise. "It’s all here! Everything is here!"

She looked at Jiang Fan with almost worship in her eyes. "Junior Brother, you are like a god."

"Far superior to my senior sister."

Almost with a glance, Jiang Fan knew where the required herbs were hidden.

This was something only their master, Medicine Peak Master, could do.

She thought Jiang Fan must be an extraordinary disciple of some peak.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such abilities!

This worshipful gaze made Jiang Fan feel a bit guilty.

These rare herbs, he took ninety percent, yet she showed no reluctance and praised him so calmly.

He scratched his head, realizing that concocting the Black Soul Bone Healing Ointment was also tough.

Su Qiuning had difficulty even finding the herbs; with just one portion, it would be hard to concoct successfully.

Never mind, he thought, he should help her to the end.

Consider the debt fully repaid.

"Senior Sister Su, if you trust me, I’ll help you concoct the ointment too."

Su Qiuning’s eyes lit up. She was worried about it.

Gathering the herbs was one thing, but whether she could successfully concoct the ointment was uncertain.

"Trust! Of course, I trust you!" She nodded hastily.

Thus.

Jiang Fan started a fire and used the alchemy furnace to concoct the bone healing ointment.

Soon.

A lump of pitch-black ointment, black and reflective, was presented to Su Qiuning.

She couldn’t help but frown, silently wondering, "Shouldn’t the Black Soul Bone Healing Ointment be dark blue?"

"How did this Junior Brother make it black? Did it fail?"

However, he was helping her out of kindness, and she didn’t want to criticize.

She could only suppress her worry, pack it up, and repeatedly thank him, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

"By the way, I don’t know your name or your peak? So I can visit and thank you properly later."

Jiang Fan waved his hand, "I’m Jiang Fan, no need for a formal visit."

"Because I’m a new disciple, I haven’t joined a peak yet."

Su Qiuning nodded, "Oh, so you are Junior Brother Jiang."

But then.

Her expression froze.

Wait!

He said he was a new disciple?
