Supreme Emptiness

What?

Liu Qimin and Zhang Yuxiu looked over simultaneously, both surprised, "It's really moving!"

Zhu Jianshen also looked over in amazement.

The previously motionless seed started to wobble as it swelled.

"This..."

He was both shocked and secretly furious.

Just when the beauty was about to be in his grasp, the seed reacted!

His current mood was like being abruptly interrupted at the height of passion.

Feeling particularly displeased, he snorted:

"Even if it's moving, it doesn't mean anything. It only shows that the fake Qi Cultivation Liquid contains a bit of spiritual energy."

However.

Just as he finished speaking.

The seed, having swelled to the extreme, cracked and sprouted.

A verdant green shoot grew rapidly!

One inch, two inches, three inches!

Chen Silin's face suddenly burst with joy and exclaimed excitedly, "Mother! Three inches! It's three inches! It's really Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid! He didn't deceive us!"

Zhu Jianshen couldn't believe it, "How is this possible?"

"How could there be a second Second Grade Soul Master within the Green Cloud Sect?"

"Could it be that he got his Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid from the black market in Green Cloud Sect?"

He thought about it and arrived at only one explanation!

But at this moment.

Chen Silin suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Wait! It's still growing!"

Everyone stared intently, and indeed, the shoot continued to grow slowly until it reached three and a half inches before it slowly stopped.

Chen Silin clenched her fists in excitement and said:

"Three and a half inches! Does this mean that our family senior's Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid is of a higher quality than that of the Soul Masters from Green Cloud Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxiu was also shocked and said, "Shen, didn't you say that this Soul Master from the Chen Family was a fake?"

"Why is it that the Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid he refined isn't just real, but it's also stronger than the one from Green Cloud Sect?"

This question stumped Zhu Jianshen.

He looked into the secret chamber where the unknown Second Grade Soul Master was, no longer daring to show any disrespect.

All he felt was awe.

However, the confidence with which he had made his earlier assertions now seemed like a slap in his own face.

Unwillingly, he muttered softly, "Even if he is a Second Grade Soul Master, it doesn't necessarily mean he's better than the ones from our Green Cloud Sect."

"The Soul Masters of our Green Cloud Sect are veterans who have gone through numerous battles."

"Perhaps this senior just happened to refine a slightly better batch of Top Grade Qi Cultivation Liquid."

At this.

Even Chen Silin, who had deep respect and admiration for Jiang Fan, did not see any issue.

The Soul Master seniors of the Green Cloud Sect were renowned figures.

They had refined countless spirit pills in their lifetime.

In contrast, Jiang Fan was still young. Just a single bottle of Qi Cultivation Liquid was far from enough to prove that he surpassed the seniors of Green Cloud Sect.

But at this moment!

A dull sound suddenly echoed from the closed secret chamber.

A wisp of faint red smoke drifted out, spreading into the air, instantly filled the courtyard with an enchanting fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Just by inhaling a breath, the faces of Zhang Yuxiu and Liu Qimin, two middle-aged women, showed a look of fascination.

"What is this? It somewhat resembles beauty pills, but the fragrance is much more superior!"

As noblewomen of Lonely Boat City, they had always used expensive beauty pills.

So they immediately recognized the type of medicinal fragrance.

However, compared to this fragrance, the high-end beauty products they were used to seemed extremely inferior.

Zhu Jianshen looked puzzled, "The Soul Master seniors of Green Cloud Sect once said that the higher the grade of the pills, the more intense the fragrance when they are refined."

"Miss Chen, what kind of pills is this senior refining?"

Chen Silin was also stunned.

Staring unblinkingly at the secret chamber, she said in a tone of disbelief, "He said he was refining Beauty-Restore Pills."

Zhu Jianshen had never heard of this pill before.

Zhang Yuxiu was shocked and exclaimed, "The legendary pill that can turn white hair black and rejuvenate the skin, Beauty-Restore Pill?"

Liu Qimin trembled with excitement, "Siling, you mustn't say such things lightly. This is a Third Grade Spirit Pill. No one in the world can refine it."

This kind of legendary pill had a devastating allure for women, especially those who were older.

No one could resist!

Chen Silin said, "The senior took away the Forget River Bean, said he wanted to refine Beauty-Restore Pills, and promised to give me one as payment for the materials."

"Just not sure if the one refined now is the Beauty-Restore Pill."

Upon hearing this.

Liu Qimin excitedly grasped Chen Silin's shoulders, "Did he really say he would give you one?"

"Great, great, great! My good daughter! You have given me an immense surprise!"

"Handing over the family business to you was the best decision of my life."

Chen Silin's eye twitched slightly.

When her father was seriously ill, and the family members recommended Chen Silin take over the family business, her mother was the first to oppose.

She thought Chen Silin was too young and that the family business should be managed by herself, the main lady.

But since she never actually took part in managing the business, the family members worried she wouldn't be able to handle it and insisted on letting Chen Silin take charge.

This caused a rift between the mother and daughter.

Now, with a Beauty-Restore Pill, her mother's attitude changed 180 degrees instantly.

Zhang Yuxiu, on the other hand, became anxious. The thought of someone else having a miraculous item like the Beauty-Restore Pill when she did not was more unbearable than death.

"Siling, my dear, you must help Auntie get one too. No matter the price, I'm willing to pay!"

Chen Silin immediately shook her head, "Such a Soul Master senior isn't someone who will heed my requests so easily."

"I can only ask whether the senior is willing to sell one to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxiu was overjoyed and hurriedly took off the valuable jade bracelet on her wrist, stuffing it into Chen Silin's hand.

"My dear, Auntie is counting on you."

"As long as you plead on my behalf, regardless of the outcome, this jade bracelet is yours."

Chen Silin was startled. This bracelet was worth ten thousand taels of silver!

She hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, I can't accept it. It's too valuable..."

Clack–

At this moment.

The stone door of the secret chamber opened.

Amid the faint red smoke, Jiang Fan looked at the three crimson Beauty-Restore Pills in his palm.

The best one among them was a Top Grade Beauty-Restore Pill.

The other two were Low Grade Beauty-Restore Pills.

He planned to use the Top Grade Beauty-Restore Pill as part of the betrothal gift.

As for the remaining two pills.

One was promised to Chen Silin.

And the other one could be sold. He just didn't know how much it was worth.

Thinking of this.

He stored away one Top Grade and one Low Grade Beauty-Restore Pill, and put the last Beauty-Restore Pill into a jade bottle and walked out of the secret chamber.

Only then did he notice that besides Chen Silin, there were three others in the yard.

One of whom was Zhu Jianshen, the Green Cloud Sect disciple who had competed with him for the betrothal gift just the day before.

"Senior, how did the refining go?"

Chen Silin asked cautiously.

Jiang Fan smiled and tossed the jade bottle in his hand to her, "This is yours."

Chen Silin took it and immediately felt the extraordinary nature of the pill even through the jade bottle.

"Beauty-Restore Pill!" Liu Qimin snatched it over excitedly and examined it closely:

"That's right! It's exactly like the Beauty-Restore Pill illustration your grandfather once drew. I've seen it countless times!"

"Daughter, may I have it?"

Chen Silin was speechless.

She had no doubt that if she dared to say no, Liu Qimin would disown her on the spot.

"You better ask the senior." Chen Silin didn't dare make the decision.

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "Since it's given to you, you can decide for yourself."

Then, he started to leave.

Zhang Yuxiu quickly bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Senior, may I ask if you have any extra Beauty-Restore Pills?"

Chen Silin also immediately spoke up, "Senior, this is Mrs. Zhu, her son is a Green Cloud Sect disciple."

"Could you sell her a Beauty-Restore Pill?"

Oh?

Zhu Jianshen's mother?

Jiang Fan smiled meaningfully and then left.

Zhu Jianshen, with a nearly worshipful fervor in his eyes, rushed to block Jiang Fan's way and knelt down with a thud.

"Green Cloud Sect disciple Zhu Jianshen, pays respects to the senior!"
