Gu Xinâer quickly wrote down, "Again and again you said I was lousy, die a thousand times!"
Seeing Jiang Fan looking her way, she hurriedly closed her notebook and tossed it into her Space Storage Device.
She huffed, "You donât need to know!"
"Just remember, what goes around comes around."
When she becomes a Venerate, sheâll take the Death Diary and settle each account with Jiang Fan.
Make sure he admits defeat willingly!
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose.
Does he really have such a deep grudge with her?
"How about I give you something as compensation?"
Gu Xinâer raised her chin, "I donât want anything from you!"
Jiang Fan took out some Breath Soil, pinched off a small piece, and said, "This is Heavenly Realm Breath Soil that can make seeds sprout and thrive overnight."
"Donât you have a daring idea?"
Gu Xinâer looked down at her barely-there chest and suddenly her eyes lit up with excitement.
Immediately, she turned her anger into a smile.
She took out her notebook and crossed off a line she had just written.
"Alright, alright, I forgive you!"
"By the way, these are the rare treasures from the Heavenly Realm collected at Black Cloud Village, all here!"
She took out a Space Storage Device.
Jiang Fan looked inside and saw various Spiritual Treasures, brimming with Spiritual Energy, that were not found in Central Earth.
Some were even greatly beneficial to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The quantity was huge, enough to supply the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects for an entire year.
In the Heavenly Realm, these were mere food for the Asura Clan, not essential at all.
So they were ignorantly abundant.
He gladly accepted it and handed the Breath Soil to Gu Xinâer.
"Haha! Just wait three days and see me with fresh eyes, you little rascal!"
She ran off happily with the Breath Soil.
Jiang Fan was amused, watching her petite figure run away, murmuring:
"How long is this little girl going to keep wearing that mask?"
If he hadnât noticed before,
there was no way he wouldnât see it after a few interactions.
Vice Building Owner Gu and Gu Xinâer, in their build, personality, and dress,
are not just similar, theyâre practically clones.
Clearly, theyâre the same person.
But Jiang Fan didnât plan to expose her, letting her continue the act.
Ahem, ahem...
A violent cough came.
The Heart Demon Venerable seemed a bit unwell, and the Divine Ring on his back flickered unsteadily.
Jiang Fan noticed and asked worriedly,
"Venerate, did you get injured in the last reconnaissance mission?"
With a great battle ahead, even though he had schemed the poisoning of a Space Giant King,
there were still nine left.
If the Heart Demon Venerable couldnât fight, the situation in Central Earth would be more dire.
"Itâs nothing, thereâll be Soul Masters from Dan State coming to Taicang State soon."
"By then, Iâll have them refine a Spirit Pill."
Dan State?
A state specializing in alchemy?
Itâs the first time Iâve heard of a state with a dedicated mastery of a specific path.
Presumably, it houses many great Soul Masters?
Jiang Fan couldnât help recalling his own situation; his Soul Power had reached the Sixth-stage Nascent Soul Level.
Correspondingly, refining a fifth-grade Spirit Pill should be quite easy.
However, since the Heart Demon Venerable wants the Soul Masterâs help, he decided not to reveal himself.
"Thanks to the Venerate for risking to rescue from the Heavenly Realm this time."
The Heart Demon Venerable waved it off, "I didnât exert much effort."
"It was you who successfully killed that Nine Aperture Giant, preventing its fall from causing more trouble."
At this point,
he disdainfully kicked the unconscious Song Lingyu on the ground.
Anger flashed in his eyes.
The strongest, yet falls the fastest!
Bringing shame to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Templeâs name!
With that kick, Song Lingyu woke up in pain.
She rubbed her eyes, looking around in confusion, surprised:
"Huh? Weâre back in Central Earth?"
"The reconnaissance mission wasnât hard, closing and opening my eyes and it was over."
Hearing this, Jiang Fanâs forehead veins throbbed, he almost wanted to kick her.
It was easy for you!
Up there for an hour, lying around, then waking up with everything done.
He was on the brink of death, nearly losing his life!
The Heart Demon Venerable heard and snapped, "You disgraceful thing!"
"Arenât you coming back with me?"
Song Lingyu shrank back, quickly got up meekly, "Yes, Venerate."
She obediently followed behind the Heart Demon Venerable, leaving obediently.
Before leaving,
a Thunder Extension Order slipped out of her sleeve.
Jiang Fanâs eyes narrowed, feeling a stir in his heart.
Song Lingyu belonged to the Hell Department of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, focusing on cultivating the Hell Lotus.
Could this Thunder Extension Order be related to the Hell Lotus?
Was she giving him a subtle token of gratitude?
Jiang Fan was thrilled, quickly picking it up and tucking it into his sleeve.
The Heart Demon Venerable had decreed publicly, forbidding outsiders from learning the new "Heavenly Thunder Six Parts."
So, he couldnât let the Heart Demon Venerable see.
However, without a considerable amount of thunder power, the Thunder Extension Order was pointless.
The "Heavenly Abyss Heart" he acquired was still only in Small Success due to a lack of thunder power.
"Hey, if youâre offering, throw in some thunder power!"
Jiang Fan caught up to her, whispering.
Song Lingyu glared back at him, whispering, "You cheeky boy, never satisfied, huh?"
"There isnât any, not a bit!"
Thunder power isnât easy to find, only available in small quantities at the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.
"The thunder power can offset the debt."
Jiang Fan added.
Song Lingyuâs face lightened up, she discreetly handed him a fist-sized bundle of thunder power.
Jiang Fan took it eagerly, "Offsets half a Sky Ascending Pill, still owe me three and a half."
"Three and a half rounds to four."
The smile on Song Lingyuâs face faded, irritated, "Little black merchant, youâre something!"
She handed him another fist-sized bundle of thunder power.
"This is the last one!"
Jiang Fan beamed, "Offsets one, still owe three!"
Song Lingyu snorted, "Thatâs more like it!"
"Take good care of my disciple, donât mistreat her."
"Iâll be back to redeem her soon."
Jiang Fan retorted, "You better come soon!"
"Keeping her is costing me a fortune!"
Up front, the Heart Demon Venerableâs forehead vein twitched.
Being this near, it was hard for a Venerate like him not to overhear the transaction!
These two donât even bother pretending?!
Breaking his rules right in front of him,
he still had to act oblivious!
Sometimes, he really wanted to report them!
"Letâs go!" He griped, pulling Song Lingyu away in what seemed like instantaneous movement.
In the past, Jiang Fan couldnât track the speed of a Divinity Transformation Venerable at all.
In his eyes, it seemed like they were teleporting.
Now, having cultivated the Wind Origin, he could just capture their trajectory.
It relied on the enormous Venerable Power, unleashing extreme speed.
If his Wind Origin could ascend another level, he might achieve their speed too.
Thinking of this,
Jiang Fan summoned a six-foot-tall Yin Corpse, transferring his Void Flow Fire Force, Thunder Power, and newly cultivated Wind Force into it.
Back in Central Earth, he had to constantly guard against the deadly threat looming overhead.
Venerate Xinnie!
Hope Green Pearlâs Wife descends quickly to slay Venerate Xinnie!
