Chapter 1461: Chapter 1490: Blood of the Sage

The Golden Scale Venerate stopped the bleeding, feeling both amused and annoyed.

"Jiang Fan, what kind of enchanting concoction did you give my daughter?"

Jiang Fan let out a dry laugh.

Now that he’s already secured the Celestial Demon Residue and True Spirit Blood, he couldn’t let the Golden Scale Venerate spill blood for nothing.

Without further ado, he took out three jade boxes.

He tossed one to the Golden Scale Venerate, one to Ling Shu, and one to Liu Li.

Golden Scale Venerate instinctively caught it, saying, "What is..."

The words still lingering in his mouth, his pupils had already tightened sharply.

"Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits?"

"You managed to grab three portions?"

"No, not just three portions!"

Knowing Jiang Fan’s character, if he’s willing to give three portions, it definitely means he obtained much more.

His face changed, and he quickly opened his private space and dove inside to check.

A moment later, he rushed out shouting.

"Heavens, did you take all the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits?"

The Golden Scale Venerate was utterly shocked.

Neither he nor the Black Dragon Venerable could manage to catch any, yet Jiang Fan emptied the entire pool!

How did he do it?

Jiang Fan coughed lightly and said, "Senior, do you want everyone to know that all of the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits has appeared?"

Only then did the Golden Scale Venerate become solemn; if the news leaked to the Black Dragon Venerable, it would spell endless disaster.

He had been coveting the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits for a long time, eager to use it to return to his ancestral roots.

The Golden Scale Venerate lowered his voice and said angrily, "Kid? Has no one ever told you how dark-hearted you are?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "No, everyone says I’m a good person."

The Golden Scale Venerate nearly burst out with profanity.

What kind-hearted person would empty the Demon Race’s Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits without leaving a drop?

"You took it all, what will happen to the Demon Race afterwards?" the Golden Scale Venerate said sourly.

The implication was that Jiang Fan should leave some behind.

Jiang Fan smirked and said, "The Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits is meant to enhance your Demon Race’s innate bloodline."

"Can I really use it on myself?"

"So in the end, who benefits, if not people from your Demon Race?"

Indeed.

The Golden Scale Venerate looked at the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits in the hands of himself, his daughter, and Liu Li, each the length of a finger.

This blood, Jiang Fan could only let it be used by someone from the Demon Race.

There was no advantage to outsiders.

He frowned and said, "Then you can’t take it all back to Taicang State, our Demon Continent’s Demon Race also needs to use some."

Jiang Fan shrugged, "You can’t expect me to work for nothing, right?"

Fairy Yun Shang and her people couldn’t utilize so much Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, and it wouldn’t make sense to leave it for the Demon Continent’s Demon Race for free.

Every strand of Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits was exchanged with his Little Qilin.

He wouldn’t give it away for free.

The Golden Scale Venerate said irritably, "Dealing with you is more troublesome than dealing with Jiangshan First-class Building!"

"What do you want, tell me?"

Jiang Fan did indeed want something.

He said, "I want some Blood of the Sage."

Oh?

The Golden Scale Venerate scrutinized Jiang Fan’s Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul cultivation and understood.

After a moment of consideration, he reluctantly took out a drop of golden blood and said, "This is a drop left by Nine Nether’s Demon Venerable at Spiritual Snake Mountain back in the day."

"Refine it into your body, and if you feel your consciousness fading, activate it to snap out of madness."

"It’s only useful for the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul; reaching Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, it will depend on you waking yourself."

Jiang Fan was overjoyed.

Only a force like Spiritual Snake Mountain, where sages were born, could provide a drop of Blood of the Sage.

He immediately took out ten of the smallest strands of Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits.

The Golden Scale Venerate’s mouth twitched.

He was in charge of the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, so he naturally knew that Jiang Fan had kept the larger ones.

However, for a drop of Blood of the Sage, exchanging for so much Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, what was there to complain about?

He accepted them all at once.

"With the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, I’m no longer afraid of the Black Dragon Venerable."

With this thought, he turned to Ice Heart Venerable, who had not yet left:

"Could you trouble Ice Heart Venerable to linger a few more days?"

"The Black Dragon Venerable certainly won’t let Jiang Fan off easily and will definitely be lurking, ready to strike once you leave."

"Now that I have the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, give me a few days to absorb it; I’ll reach an ancestral state, and then the Black Dragon Venerable will be of no concern."

Ice Heart Venerable glanced at Jiang Fan and said with a smile, "Sure."

"You three should go digest the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, and I’ll stay here to protect Jiang Fan."

The Golden Scale Venerate cast another suspicious gaze at Ice Heart Venerable and Jiang Fan.

Was Ice Heart Venerable being excessively kind to Jiang Fan?

He suddenly worried about Liu Li’s future.

Jiang Fan’s circle of women was fiercely competitive.

As the three left, Jiang Fan looked toward Jiang Wuya and the others from Taicang State who were silently waiting for him.

He approached with a smile and said, "Senior Jiang Wuya, Senior Song, fellow daoists from Taicang State."

"I apologize for not recognizing you sooner."

Jiang Wuya wore a gentlemanly smile:

"When you banished the Black Lotus of Tribulation, I guessed it was you."

"Only you would disregard such a worldly item for the sake of Central Earth’s beings."

Jiang Fan said embarrassedly, "That’s too much praise, when it concerns Central Earth, everyone would do the same."

Jiang Wuya smiled without speaking.

Would everyone really do the same?

The Black Dragon Venerable was still the supreme leader of the Demon Race.

Knowing the harm of the Black Lotus of Tribulation, he still planned to unleash it on the Demon Race as part of his scheme?

Jiang Fan, who could resist such a great temptation, was truly a rarity.

Song Lingyu, who had woken up, glared at Jiang Fan:

"To repay your debt, did you see me fighting hard?"

"I almost met my end in the interlayer world!"

Jiang Fan said irritatedly, "You shameless debtor, and now you’re acting tough."

"If you don’t repay your debts, I’ll auction off your disciple!"

Under the odd gazes of everyone, Song Lingyu’s momentum weakened, and she huffed:

"With so many resources, what’s difficult about exchanging for some Sky Ascending Pills?"

"Just wait, I’ll soon come to reclaim my disciple."

"If she loses a hair, you’ll answer for it!"

Jiang Fan was speechless, Hua Wuying was thriving at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!

She might not even want to come back.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Jiang Fan said, "You all head back to Taicang State first."

"I’ll return in a few days."

He could face an attack from the Black Dragon Venerable at any time, so having Jiang Wuya and the others with him would be dangerous.

Considering Taicang State was preparing for war and couldn’t afford delay, they all bid farewell.

Watching them depart, Jiang Fan also began to miss Taicang State.

This time away has lasted over half a month.

He had to hurry back.

While the Golden Scale Venerate and others were refining the Ancestor Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, Jiang Fan intended to process his recent acquisitions.

Especially the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod.

Since obtaining it, he hadn’t examined it.

This cauldron was quite mysterious and definitely extraordinary.

But just as he reached the secret chamber, Ice Heart Venerable followed him, intending to enter together.

Jiang Fan was speechless, were they that close?

He bowed and said, "Senior, I wish to go into seclusion for a while."

Ice Heart Venerable gazed meaningfully at the distant clouds and said:

"I think it’s best if I stay by your side."

"It’s not just the Black Dragon Venerable keeping an eye on you."

Oh?

Jiang Fan looked in the direction indicated, and saw a figure of a slender girl in sackcloth faintly visible amidst the clouds.

Most of her body was hidden in the clouds, only her slim back outline exposed.

The golden leaf on Jiang Fan’s chest trembled lightly, and he understood who it was.

He shrugged helplessly and said, "Don’t mind her, just a passerby."

With that, he entered the secret chamber with Ice Heart Venerable.

Among the clouds.

Yue Mingzhu lay on the soft white cloud, her eyes brimming with tears, quietly weeping.

It turned out, the person her master introduced was Jiang Fan.

No wonder she constantly saw glimpses of Jiang Fan in that person.

But she couldn’t feel happiness.

Because Jiang Fan came seeking Ling Shu!
