Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1504: Evil Sword

Jiang Fan’s old face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said, "That was what I said yesterday, it has nothing to do with me now."

"If you want to find someone, find the me from yesterday."

The Great Wine Sacrifice stood up tall, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Fortunately, it’s something the real Jiang Fan would say."

"It seems you haven’t been possessed by the Black Lotus of Tribulation."

Huh?

Jiang Fan was really bewildered. Wasn’t the incident where he almost got entangled by the Black Lotus of Tribulation something that happened in the Void?

At that time, only he, Yue Mingzhu, and the Little Qilin were present.

How did the Great Wine Sacrifice know this across an entire Great State?

This is really bizarre.

He couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Great Wine Sacrifice, do you and the other Great Wine Sacrifices across several states have some close connections?"

The Great Wine Sacrifice shook his horsetail whisk and smiled calmly, "Guess."

Guess your head!

Jiang Fan secretly cursed in his heart.

He said irritably, "Since you are at the Sage Realm, why didn’t you intervene when the Two-star Giant King was causing chaos?"

He, the Bodhisattva, and Vice Palace Master You almost died at the hands of the Two-star Giant King.

The Great Wine Sacrifice replied calmly, "Didn’t you survive?"

You!

Jiang Fan was at a loss for words, only glaring at him.

However, he didn’t really harbor any resentment, as he had a vague sense that the Great Wine Sacrifices were very cautious in their actions.

For instance, the Crying Grave Great Wine Sacrifice of Hunyuan State, even when Wu Gou Venerable was rampant in Central Earth, didn’t take action.

Only when they were about to launch a lethal strike against Jiang Fan and Xingyuan Venerable did he reluctantly intervene.

Similarly, the Crying Great Wine Sacrifice of the Returning Ruins State didn’t directly attack Heavenly Heritage City but rather blocked Compassionate Sage’s perception, allowing Jiang Fan to come.

It seems they are wary of something, not acting lightly.

Jiang Fan sighed, his gaze passing over the Great Wine Sacrifice, looking towards his homeland in Taicang State, and asked:

"During my absence, has anything happened in Taicang State?"

The Great Wine Sacrifice replied calmly, "The calm before the storm."

So everything is peaceful.

But it’s also the last peace.

He looked to the sky and said, "There are five days left."

The Great Wine Sacrifice said nothing, took out a purple Jade Pendant, and gently brushed his fingers over it.

The next moment, Jiang Fan’s Identity Jade beeped.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be a message from the Qintian Bureau to all sect members.

The content contained only two words.

"Five days."

Jiang Fan felt a heavy heart and said, "Only five days left."

"I wonder if the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has prepared."

He looked in the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, itching to leave, and said, "Junior takes his leave."

The Great Wine Sacrifice swung his sleeve.

A giant black sword, as black as ink and resembling a Void Rift, was planted in front of Jiang Fan.

It was a full zhang long!

Emitting a powerful aura of evil.

Jiang Fan just took one look and felt the mocking, disdain, and other emotions emanating from the sword.

If this sword could speak, Jiang Fan had no doubt it would be spewing sarcasm.

Moreover, the evil aura of this sword would erode a person’s will.

Jiang Fan’s heart also became restless, filled with lustful, murderous, thieving, and other negative emotions.

This was somewhat similar to facing the Blood Pool.

Except it wasn’t as severe.

"What an evil sword!" Lightning coursed through Jiang Fan’s body, dispelling all the invasive malevolence.

The Great Wine Sacrifice watched, nodding slightly, "It seems you can wield this sword."

"Take it."

"A reward for the Heavenly Realm reconnaissance mission."

What?

Jiang Fan had almost forgotten there was such a reward.

How long has it been?

He grasped the zhang-long giant sword with both hands, feeling the immense spiritual pressure from the sword, delighted in his heart.

This is indeed a top-grade Spirit Sword!

Counting the four he already had, that’s five Spirit Swords.

If he gathers six, the "Dayan Sword Array" can be cultivated to Great Success!

At that time, the power will be far beyond what it is now!

Jiang Fan decisively accepted the sword, his eyes rolling, complaining, "This reward came too late, didn’t it?"

"I’ve been waiting so long, the flowers have wilted!"

The Great Wine Sacrifice pressed down on the space storage device in his arms, saying, "I don’t have anything here for you to swindle."

Having dealt with Jiang Fan a lot, he knew exactly what color Jiang Fan’s intentions would be.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Farewell!"

The Great Wine Sacrifice nodded and said, "No swindling for things, but there is a reward, indeed."

Oh?

Jiang Fan asked, "What do you need me to do for the grand wine ceremony?"

Actually, he had already vaguely guessed.

Sure enough, the grand wine ceremony said, "Connecting Sky Black Pillar needs to be moved to the Forbidden Land of Misfortune."

"That place is the most dangerous in Central Earth, and when ancient giants descend there, it will cause them considerable harm."

Jiang Fan said without hesitation, "I will do it even without a reward."

"On the last day, I will move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar."

With that, he used Cloud Shadow to depart.

Vast Sea.

Several gigantic merchant ships were gathered on the sea surface.

Among them, a luxurious merchant ship, flying a golden flag with the word "Merchant" on it, was surrounded by numerous other merchant ships like stars surrounding the moon.

The luxurious merchant ship was inscribed with many powerful arrays.

One of the arrays even had the spiritual pressure of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Such a top-level merchant ship, not to mention in Taicang State, was the only one in all of Central Earth.

That was the warship of the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner.

Inside the ship’s cabin.

Eight masked figures, or people with their forms obscured by fog, were seated around a round table.

The only one showing his true face was the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner.

He glanced around at everyone, his voice warm and refreshing like a spring breeze.

"There’s still one Vice Building Owner who hasn’t arrived, right?"

Today was the last high-level meeting of Jiangshan First-class Building before the war.

They were discussing the main tasks of Jiangshan First-class Building during the war.

"Vice Building Owner Gu hasn’t come." The Vice Building Owner shrouded in fog said, "I heard she’s looking everywhere for Soul Awakening Divine Nails."

"She’s set aside all other transactions and is fully focused on gathering information about the Soul Awakening Divine Nails."

"Did she take the wrong medicine, once the most active Vice Building Owner, not doing transactions and specifically seeking something she can’t use?"

"She no longer seems like a qualified merchant."

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner nodded slightly and said, "Then we won’t wait for her."

"I’ve purchased one hundred Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pills from Dan State."

"What do you all think would be an appropriate price for each?"

"Please share your opinions."

The Vice Building Owners began to ponder.

When they had rare and valuable items, the Vice Building Owners would discuss together to give a reasonable price that could maximize profits.

"Five Low Grade Crystal Mines, maybe."

"You’re joking, just five million Crystal Stones for a Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pill?"

"At least a Mid-grade Crystal Mine is needed!"

"One Mid-grade Crystal Mine is not enough, at least two Mid-grade Crystal Mines."

"Three sounds more reasonable."

"Three, which is thirty million Crystal Stones, seems fair. Any higher and it wouldn’t be affordable for those in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Are you all running a charity? This highly sought-after Spirit Pill, only selling for three Mid-grade Crystal Mines?"

"If you ask me, it’s five Mid-grade Crystal Mines, take it or leave it!"

...

The Vice Building Owners rolled their eyes.

"If anyone’s a black merchant here, it has to be you, Vice Floor Master Qin."

"It’s well known, Vice Floor Master Qin’s heart is as soft as foam raised in water."

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner chuckled, "Five Mid-grade Crystal Mines is indeed a bit greedy, three sounds more reasonable."

At this moment.

A dainty figure in a pink dress rushed in, full of energy.

"Am I late?"

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner chuckled, "For Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pills, what price do you think is fair?"

Upon hearing this, the Vice Building Owners laughed.

"Building Owner, you’re asking her?"

"She’s the one who’d love to sell at cost price."

"Vice Building Owner Gu is the least merchant-like merchant among us."

Gu Xin’er crossed her arms and began to think seriously.

"Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, huh? This is a rare treasure!"

"I’ve heard that Jiang Fan, that fellow, sold a black radish to an old man from the Fire Worship Sect for a Top Grade Crystal Mine."

"If a Fifth-grade Spirit Pill sells for less than the radish, won’t he laugh at me?"

After some serious consideration.

Gu Xin’er earnestly said, "Building Owner, five Top Grade Crystal Mines!"

"Anything less is disrespectful to the Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pill!"

Uh~

The cabin fell dead silent.

Even the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner’s expression froze slightly, looking at Gu Xin’er incredulously.

Where did the Vice Building Owner Gu, known as the only fair merchant of Jiangshan First-class Building, go?

When did she become a heartless profiteer?
