Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 The Frantic Liu Qingxian

She was drenched in sweat, furiously striking at the air, indicating the projection of the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection had caused her considerable trouble.

Thinking about it, it was understandable.

These projections were all prodigies of the Green Cloud Sect.

The cultivation techniques they practiced were far superior to the lower Yellow Level techniques of the Xu Family.

Although Xu Yining had reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, the difference in cultivation techniques became evident when facing the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection.

“Is the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection really this difficult?”

Jiang Fan pondered as he stepped forward.

Immediately, a tall young girl with an exceptionally beautiful face appeared before him.

“Huh? Isn’t this the girl in purple I met at the City Lord Mansion? What’s her name? Liu something Xian?”

Jiang Fan still remembered that she had given him a purple token.

To this day, he still didn’t know what the token was for.

However, the projection before him was clearly the girl in purple in her youth, a few years younger.

“Liu Qingxian, eighth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection, please advise.”

As she finished speaking, she drew a purple sword and performed a brilliant set of swordsmanship.

Jiang Fan quickly drew his sword to counter.

Although her swordsmanship was extraordinary, his “Seven-star Sword Jue” was a notch above.

It only took three rounds to knock her long sword away.

As the darkness in front of him receded, Jiang Fan had succeeded.

Glancing to the side, he saw Xu Yining still gritting his teeth, trapped in a fierce struggle.

Next, Jiang Fan stepped onto the ninth layer of the stairs.

A handsome young man appeared.

“Chen Zhengdao, ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, please advise.”

Meanwhile…

Above the clouds of the Chen Family.

Liu Qingxian frowned, “Uncle Chen, are you sure she is really covering for that three-star Soul Master?”

They had been monitoring her for four days.

Chen Silin had only visited various properties of the Chen Family, without contacting any strangers.

This made Chen Zhengdao start to doubt his own judgment.

“Could it be that I am being paranoid?” He touched his nose.

Liu Qingxian sighed, “This three-star Soul Master is really hard to find…”

“Huh!”

Suddenly, Liu Qingxian stood up abruptly, looking surprised towards the Dragon-Rising Path.

“Someone broke my projection in the Dragon-Rising Path.”

Chen Zhengdao laughed, “What’s so surprising about that? It was just a projection of you at eighteen.”

Liu Qingxian was astonished, “But, this person beat me in only three moves.”

Oh?

Chen Zhengdao showed a look of surprise.

Even at eighteen, Liu Qingxian’s strength was not to be underestimated.

He pondered for a moment, “Could it be that you sensed it wrong? Even the one with the Nine-grade Spiritual Root in the city is only at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, defeating you in three moves is unrealistic.”

The Dragon-Rising Path was only open to the young.

It was unlikely that such a powerful young person existed.

Liu Qingxian thought about it and hesitated, “Maybe.”

After all, it sounded exaggerated for someone of the same age to defeat her, the daughter of the Sect Master, in just three moves.

It was likely an illusion.

However…

Soon after, Chen Zhengdao, who was still monitoring, also stood up abruptly.

He looked toward the Dragon-Rising Path with a look of astonishment.

“What happened, Uncle Chen?”

Liu Qingxian was startled by his reaction.

Chen Zhengdao showed a look of surprise and doubt, “My projection was also defeated, the opponent only used ten moves!”

“Huh?”

Liu Qingxian was even more shocked, “Really? At that time, you were known as the number one prodigy within the Green Cloud Sect and unbeaten in your era!”

Chen Zhengdao’s Eighth-grade Spiritual Root was no joke.

Plus, with the resources of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, at eighteen, he was unbeaten within the Green Cloud Sect.

His projection being defeated implied the emergence of an even more extraordinary prodigy.

“You stay and continue monitoring, I’ll go see who this is!” Chen Zhengdao left Liu Qingxian and hurried over.

“I’ll go too! This Lonely Boat City is too strange!”

Liu Qingxian bit her lip, feeling indignant!

It was already surprising when a Nine-grade Spiritual Root emerged in such a remote place, attributing it to immense luck.

Now a three-star Soul Master appeared too?

Not finding the Soul Master but another world-class prodigy?

What was Lonely Boat City up to?

Was it aiming for the heavens?

She hurriedly rode her blue giant eagle and flew away.

At this time, Jiang Fan had already stepped onto the tenth step.

“Yun Tianzhou, ninth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection, please advise!”

As soon as they clashed, Jiang Fan immediately felt immense pressure.

But that was better.

He fought with all his might, even using the lightning attribute of his wooden sword.

Even so, after hundreds of rounds, he barely succeeded in passing the challenge.

Looking at the eleventh layer above, the exhausted Jiang Fan chose to go back the way he came.

Beyond that was the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He felt pressured facing the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection, not to mention the Foundation Establishment Realm.

There was no need to force it.

He now needed to go back and cultivate quietly, taking the opportunity to solidify his spiritual power and break through to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation in one go.

He would come back to try again when the opportunity arose.

On his return, he found Xu Yining still entangled with the projection of the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection, unable to gain an advantage.

Meanwhile, Xu Youran had successfully defeated the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation and the fifth layer of Perfection.

She was now fiercely battling the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Jiang Fan was immensely pleased, choosing not to disturb her and left the Dragon-Rising Path.

Instead, he went to the Chen Family.

Tonight, he would break through to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation and should prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Any cultivator aiming for Foundation Establishment needed a particular elixir.

The Pifu Pill!

This was a Second Grade Spirit Pill, currently only the Soul Master from Green Cloud Sect could refine it.

It was almost never available on the market.

If it was, it circulated on the black market.

“Huh? Why are you here?”

Seeing the heavily robed Jiang Fan, Chen Silin hurriedly pulled him into her boudoir.

Looking at the exquisite feminine room, Jiang Fan felt a little unnatural; it was his first time in a woman’s boudoir.

However, he was soon alarmed by Chen Silin’s words.

“Someone is looking for me?” Jiang Fan was shocked.

It didn’t matter if the person was good or bad, he couldn’t reveal his identity.

For now, he was too weak, without any background, yet possessing abilities that others coveted.

If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“In that case, I’m afraid I won’t be able to supply Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid for a while.” Jiang Fan pondered, “But this will affect your Chen Family’s business.”

He had promised to supply Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid continuously.

Chen Silin was anxious, “Why still care about my family’s business? It’s more important for you to protect yourself.”

“Never come back here again.”

Seeing her care so much for him, Jiang Fan felt even more guilty.

“How about this, does your family have materials for the Pifu Pill? I can refine more now, and the Chen Family can rely on that to attract customers.”

“Once the situation passes, I’ll continue to refine Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.”

Pifu Pill?

Chen Silin was surprised, “But, only Green Cloud Sect has the pill recipe.”

Jiang Fan smiled, “What’s so difficult about that?”

Soon after…

The alchemy room of the Chen Family was filled with the fragrance of elixirs.

Chen Zhengdao and Liu Qingxian, who had rushed to the Dragon-Rising Path, found nothing.

“Too late! This person even defeated Yun Tianzhou, who was the Pavilion Master of our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion when he was young.”

Chen Zhengdao was astonished.

Liu Qingxian was also stunned.

Winning against her and Chen Zhengdao was already impressive, but even Yun Tianzhou had been defeated.

Yun Tianzhou was a super-giant on the continent’s top ten experts list!

He was defeated.

Just who was this challenger?

Despite extensive inquiries, they found no answers.

Suddenly, Liu Qingxian noticed strange clouds gathering over the Chen Family, “Uncle Chen, what’s that?”

Chen Zhengdao looked up, showing surprise, “It’s elixir fragrance! High-quality elixir fragrance! Someone is refining elixirs in the Chen Family!”

They both thought of one person at the same time!

The three-star Soul Master!

They decisively mounted their giant eagle and rushed over.
