Chapter 1484: Dimwitted Emperor

How much?

Jiang Fan's mouth twitched violently.

Five high-grade crystal mines at cost price? That's five hundred million crystals? And then, going against ancestral principles, sell them for fifty million crystals?

Who did this guy learn his bad habits from? Wasn't he quite principled before? Now he's scamming his own people to death.

Gu Xin'er, completely oblivious to her own greed, excitedly said:

"There are only ten Heavenly Garment Divine Waters, only ten!"

"Buying one means you've profited!" "Prepare your crystal mines; I'll start the bidding when I count to three!" "You must be quick, miss this chance and it's gone!"

"Three, two, one, let's go..."

The words were still on her lips when she received a tap on the forehead.

Jiang Fan irritably flicked her forehead: "Don't embarrass yourself!" "Scamming your own people? Does the Heavenly Secret Pavilion have no one you care about?"

Gu Xin'er rubbed her head, grimacing: "I'm looking out for everyone's well-being!"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at her, opened the jade gourd, and said: "Watch closely, this is how you look out for well-being!"

He tossed it casually, and thirty Anti-Void Spirit Pills flew out, each landing in someone's hand. Even Prince Xihai and his wife, Xuanxuan, in the farthest corner, received one.

In the end, there were two extra. Jiang Fan held the two Anti-Void Spirit Pills, put them into his spatial storage device, and then handed the Heavenly Garment Divine Water pill recipe to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master.

"Pavilion Master, please gather all the ingredients for the pill recipe, the more the better." "I will refine the Heavenly Garment Divine Water for everyone."

The members of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion nodded. The news that Jiang Fan was a Soul Master was a secret outside, but it had long spread privately within the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Gu Xin'er stared blankly at the Anti-Void Spirit Pill floating in front of her, exclaiming in astonishment:

"You... you also have Fifth-grade Spirit Pills? And you're going to refine Heavenly Garment Divine Water for everyone for free? If you refine them, what will happen to the ten I have?"

"I exchanged my entire fortune for these!"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at her: "Keep them and eat them slowly on the battlefield."

"Little black-hearted merchant!"

He then took out the Heavenly Demon Relic and tossed it to Prince Xihai: "Take this to break through to the Demon Emperor Realm."

At this moment, Prince Xihai's face was bruised and tear-stained, snot running freely. Holding the Heavenly Demon Relic, he wanted to cry but had no tears:

"How much pig fat must I have been smeared with to agree to marry that Heavenly Realm Tyrannosaurus for a single Heavenly Demon Relic? If time could rewind, I would definitely..."

"Ouch! Hiss."

Xuanxuan grabbed his ear, placed one hand on her hip, and bared her teeth: "I'll give you another chance to phrase that."

Prince Xihai quickly said: "I will definitely love my wife again!"

Xuanxuan snorted: "Is that really what you mean?"

Prince Xihai said tearfully: "It's straight from my heart."

"Wuwuwuwu..."

Xuanxuan giggled: "Look how touched you are, you're crying." "Don't worry, I'll be by your side for the rest of this life."

Prince Xihai immediately cried even more sadly.

Jiang Fan suppressed his laughter and took out several portions of Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood. "This is a sacred object that can enhance the bloodline of demon cultivators, even more powerful than a Sixth-grade Spirit Pill."

"Absorb these as quickly as possible. I hope they can elevate your strength to another level." "This one's for Nuxin, this for Prince Xihai, this for Little Tiger, this for Fangugai, and this for Chuyue."

He distributed all the smaller portions of Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood. His hands were empty.

Fairy Yunshang's gaze shifted from anticipation to disappointment. How was it that everyone else received something, but she didn't? She whispered: "Are there none left?"

Jiang Fan gave her a sidelong glance: "Have I given you too little already?"

Fairy Yunshang's face flushed crimson from the scolding. She bit her red lip slightly and lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.

Liu Qingxian, standing nearby, smirked schadenfreudically. Fairy Yunshang usually enjoyed Jiang Fan's favor exclusively, but who would have thought, there were times she'd get scolded too.

However, Jiang Fan's next sentence infuriated Liu Qingxian. Jiang Fan said with a stern face: "Come with me to the secret chamber. I need to check your cultivation."

Liu Qingxian pushed Jiang Fan away, saying irritably: "If you want to give Fairy Yunshang something good in private, just say so directly." "Who are you trying to deceive with all this circumlocution?"

It was clearly a public scolding to show outsiders, followed by secretly giving Fairy Yunshang the best. His intentions exposed, Jiang Fan cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, disperse."

"For the remaining five days, everyone should make their preparations."

Jiang Fan then led the blushing Fairy Yunshang into the secret chamber.

Vaguely, Gu Xin'er's anxious voice could be heard. "Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master, do you really not want the Heavenly Garment Divine Water? Only four mid-grade crystal mines!" "Sister Nuxin, three mid-grade crystal mines, selling at a loss!" "Sister Chaoge, you're the kindest, you wouldn't just watch your junior sister jump from a building, would you?"

"Brother Liang Feiyan... what, second-hand recycling, one crystal?" "Fangugai... huh? Waste disposal, you want me to pay you a crystal mine to take it?" "Wuwuwuwu..." "Why does Jiang Fan profit as a black-hearted merchant, but I lose so much I'm unrecognizable?"

"Damn you, Jiang Fan! You made me lose everything! I'll keep a record of this against you!"

Inside the secret chamber.

Fairy Yunshang sat on the stone bed, finally unable to hold back a smile: "How will Young Master Jiang examine me?"

Jiang Fan also dropped his stern demeanor from outside and, smiling, took out a large jade box. Inside, sealed, was a three-foot-long gigantic strip of Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood.

Fairy Yunshang stared in amazement; others' portions were finger-length, but hers was a full three feet long. It was several times larger than anyone else's! She instantly stood up, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise: "Thank you, Young Master Jiang!"

Jiang Fan indeed intended to keep the best for her.

"Your bloodline is the most precious; it's only right that you receive the greatest enhancement." "There are many people outside, and giving it to you publicly would easily attract their jealousy, which is why I scolded you. Don't take it seriously."

Fairy Yunshang, deeply moved, sat in his embrace, her eyes filled with Jiang Fan's image, and said emotionally:

"How could I not understand Young Master Jiang's kindness to me? In this upcoming war of ancient giants, I beg the heavens to let both Young Master Jiang and I survive."

"Grant me the chance to repay Young Master Jiang's kindness for the rest of my life."

Jiang Fan lifted her chin: "How do you want to repay me?"

Fairy Yunshang's cheeks flushed slightly. She avoided Jiang Fan's gaze and whispered: "Didn't Young Master Jiang say he wanted to examine me?"

"Then... you can examine me as you wish."

Jiang Fan smiled without a word.

He lowered his head and buried it in her embrace, exploring the exquisite depths hidden within.

A day and a night later.

Beep, beep, beep.

Jiang Fan, in a daze, was woken by a crisp sound. He painstakingly moved his aching arms, fumbled on the ground for a while, and finally found the source of the sound among the scattered clothes. It was his identification token.

Bringing it closer, Jiang Fan opened his tired eyes. He focused his gaze. It was a message sent by the Imperial Astronomy Bureau to all its disciples.

Only two words.

"Four days."

Jiang Fan suddenly sat up, a wave of soreness sweeping over his entire body. It almost made him lose his balance.

He glanced sideways at Yunshang, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Just from absorbing a small portion of the Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood, has the Heavenly Fox bloodline become so powerful?"

"It actually kept me engrossed for a day and a night." The last time he was so engrossed was when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The enhancement of bloodline by the Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood was simply incomparable to any spiritual elixir. No wonder it could become the sacred object of the Myriad Demon Continent.

After a night of passion, Yunshang's cultivation also advanced from Six-Aperture Nascent Soul to Seven-Aperture Nascent Soul. In return, the Heavenly Fox bloodline within Jiang Fan also became a bit denser.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to use it. Because someone had arrived outside the stone door.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Liu Qingxian kicked the door with her foot, saying irritably:

"People from the Myriad Tribulations Sacred Palace are here to visit." "Your Majesty, the degenerate monarch, it's time for court!"
