Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1445: Yu Shengyan

Jiang Fan felt heavy in his heart and asked, ”Senior, is the Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder very valuable?”

Think about it carefully.

If the Artifact Spirit was an ordinary thing, the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul from back then wouldn’t have taken it away, leaving an empty shell of Purple Thunder for Xu Yining.

The value of the Artifact Spirit should be no less than Purple Thunder.

It may even be much more valuable.

Judging from the shocked reaction of the Forgetful Wild Elder earlier, it can reflect this point from the side.

”More than just valuable?” The Forgetful Wild Elder looked at the Purple Sword shimmering with purple light with envy and said:

”The Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder is a soul fragment from a Boundary Master in the Heavenly Realm a million years ago.”

What?

Jiang Fan was greatly surprised.

He thought he heard it wrong and asked, ”Boundary Master of the Heavenly Realm?”

The Forgetful Wild Elder slightly nodded, ”That’s right.”

”Its soul fragment was absorbed by the Immortal Mountain and preserved. Later, when the Immortal Mountain crafted Purple Thunder and Green Frost, it unintentionally became the Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder.”

”It grants Purple Thunder the trait of slicing through anything.”

He scratched his head, puzzled, ”I really don’t understand how that woman could bear to give you this Artifact Spirit.”

Jiang Fan was stunned.

Of course, the Star Mountain Master wouldn’t.

But Xu Yining would.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but ask himself if he had been too heartless to Xu Yining.

But now is not the time to worry about this.

He raised his sword in front of his chest and said, ”Senior, I’m eager to find someone, and I truly cannot afford to get involved in any romantic entanglements.”

”If you continue to press me, I can’t guarantee this sword won’t strike your disciple.”

The Forgetful Wild Elder glanced at the torn burlap sack and finally showed some concern.

A forced melon isn’t sweet; if the other party genuinely resists intensely, it might actually harm his disciple, which would be a loss.

After thinking it over, he said, ”If I help you find that romantic confidante, can you meet my disciple?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

A Great Venerate in Returning Ruins State helping to find someone, far better than him looking for a needle in a haystack!

He weighed it and said, ”Meeting is fine, but I don’t guarantee anything else.”

The Forgetful Wild Elder laughed, ”Alright!”

”If I lead such a powerful peer to her, wouldn’t she be dazzled?”

”What’s her name?”

Jiang Fan quickly replied, ”Yue Mingzhu, she’s a girl who appears to be eighteen.”

The Forgetful Wild Elder slightly nodded, ”Yue Mingzhu? Does she have any distinctive features?”

Clearly, he hadn’t heard of this name either.

Jiang Fan replied without thinking:

”She probably arrived at Heavenly Heritage City through the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod left by the senior about half a month ago.”

Oh?

The Forgetful Wild Elder’s eyes flickered.

His disciple appeared in Heavenly Heritage City about half a month ago.

Could it be that Jiang Fan’s romantic confidante is indeed his disciple?

But his disciple’s name isn’t Yue Mingzhu.

Rather, it’s Yu Shengyan.

Moreover, Yu Shengyan mentioned before that her heartless man was a womanizer, with countless women.

The Jiang Fan in front of him, for Yue Mingzhu, didn’t hesitate to travel far to Returning Ruins State.

And then consecutively rejected the first beauty of Returning Ruins State in marriage, now even threatening to refuse his disciple.

Such a devoted person doesn’t quite match being called heartless.

This Yue Mingzhu should have come to Returning Ruins State around the same time as Yu Shengyan, right?

He slightly nodded and said, ”Alright, I’ll instruct someone to check.”

”However, it will take some time, at least a few days, or as much as a week.”

Jiang Fan was overjoyed and said, ”No problem, I can wait.”

He understood.

Even for a Great Venerate to find someone, it wouldn’t be a matter of moments.

The Forgetful Wild Elder stroked his beard and said, ”The Ancient Saint specifically wants you to go to the Demon Continent, you don’t have time to linger in Returning Ruins State.”

”How about this, I’ll also have my disciple follow the Ancient Saint’s requirement to take a trip to the Demon Continent later.”

”If she encounters trouble, please look after her.”

Jiang Fan almost forgot the Ancient Saint’s instructions.

Considering that finding someone takes time, it’s just perfect to take this time to visit the Demon Continent.

As for taking care of his disciple along the way, Jiang Fan wouldn’t refuse and said:

”Alright, I’ll head to the Demon Continent now.”

”May I ask how to contact your disciple?”

The Forgetful Wild Elder casually took out two leaves, one gold and one silver.

He handed the golden leaf to Jiang Fan and said, ”The two leaves will sense each other’s location. As long as they’re within a single state, they work.”

”She will use this leaf to find you.”

Jiang Fan accepted it and cupped his hands, ”Then I’ll trouble the senior to help me find someone, farewell.”

Just as he was about to leave, the Forgetful Wild Elder suddenly called out to Jiang Fan.

”Hold on, here, take this rabbit tail.”

With a flick of his finger, the severed rabbit tail from the Purple Sword flew into Jiang Fan’s hand.

Jiang Fan’s face lit up with joy.

He had seen with his own eyes that the big white rabbit bit off a wisp of fur from his chest and sprinkled it on Venerable Lianjing, causing him to heal from serious injuries instantly.

This arm-length rabbit tail has dozens of tufts of rabbit fur.

Enough for him to heal himself dozens of times.

This is definitely a precious treasure!

”Thank you, senior!” Jiang Fan gratefully said farewell and headed towards the Qintian Bureau.

The big white rabbit turned its head mournfully, staring at its severed tail, bumping its head sulkily against the Forgetful Wild Elder’s back.

Caught off guard, the Forgetful Wild Elder was bumped and flew out, landing with a face full of dirt.

”Ouch, my old back!” The Forgetful Wild Elder clutched his waist and climbed up, swearing, ”You damned rabbit!”

”If I hadn’t promised that Sage to take care of you, I would’ve twisted your head off and made it into a spicy rabbit head!”

Half a day later.

The Forgetful Wild Elder returned to an ancient ruin.

Ripples of Law surrounded the ruins.

Within the ruins, in front of a stone monument.

A young lady in a pink dress sat cross-legged in front of the monument, quietly comprehending the Supreme Dao Skill written on it.

Her figure wasn’t considered tall, possessing the unique youthful aura of a girl.

Yet in her eyes, there was a touch of weariness not typical of a girl.

She was none other than Yue Mingzhu.

Yu Shengyan is her real name.

Yue Mingzhu was just her alias when she traveled within the Nine-Sects; apprenticed under a Great Venerate, how could she dare to use an alias?

Not seeing her for half a month, her cultivation surged, reaching the Four Orifice Peak level, soon to step into the Five Apertures Nascent Soul.

The resources from the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield allowed her to leap from the Peak of Second Nascent Soul to Three Aperture Nascent Soul Level.

After apprenticing under the Forgetful Wild Elder, she advanced rapidly under his meticulous nurturing, reaching the Four Orifice Peak.

Her journey in the Martial Path was smoother than ever before.

However, there was little joy on her face.

As she practiced, she stopped, her eyes dim and said:

”I’ve been missing for so long, has Jiang Fan worried about me?”

”Did he come to the Continent searching for me?”

”Knowing him, he must have been worried and surely looked for me, right.”

”But he probably wouldn’t guess that I went to the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, and wouldn’t know I’ve been transported to Returning Ruins State.”

”Should I go back home?”

But then she thought again, getting annoyed.

”What would I go back for?”

”He’s busy with a myriad of tasks, to him, I’m nothing but a burden.”

”Maybe even in looking for me, he’s just doing a cursory search before getting on with other things.”

The more she thought, the angrier she became, clenching her pink fist in defiance, ”I just won’t go back!”

”As long as you don’t come looking for me, I won’t leave.”

”You don’t look for me for a lifetime, then a lifetime I won’t see you!”

”Hmph!”

Just then.

A big white rabbit burst into the ruins.

The Forgetful Wild Elder, for a change, was without the smell of booze, his face full of smiles:

”Shengyan, still angry at that unfaithful man?”

”Don’t keep thinking about that scumbag, Master has someone better to introduce!”
