He excitedly held the elixirs, knelt down, and declared, "Sect Master Jiang, we pledge to follow you to our deaths!"
There were two types of miraculous elixirs that could allow them to fight again after exhausting their strength. Even if severely injured, they could recover on the spot! On the battlefield, this was equivalent to a second life! It was infinitely stronger than the Evil Raven Venerable's empty promise of protection. He had chosen the right person to rely on!
The Evil Raven Venerable's face darkened as he glared fiercely at the people of the Great Yin Sect.
Feng Yuanzong shivered, then coughed dryly, "Venerable, you are also a venerable we admire. We also wish to return to your embrace. But, Sect Master Jiang has simply given too much!"
The Evil Raven Venerable was furious, saying angrily, "Do as you please! If you die on the battlefield, don't blame me for not saving you!"
Jiang Fan scoffed, "You should worry about yourself! Just a reminder, don't blindly refine the ancient giant into a Yin corpse. The Giant King has the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood; be careful of a backlash."
The ancient giant he had used to trade for the Evil Raven Venerable's "Star Shift" cultivation technique must have already been refined into a Yin corpse by him, right? That ancient giant had survived for a thousand years by absorbing the essence blood of the Cold Human Giant King. Once the essence blood within it encountered the Giant King's starlight, there was a possibility of regeneration. If it suddenly struck the Evil Raven Venerable then, he might not be able to react in time.
No matter how much he disliked this guy, he was still a Transformation God Venerable of Taicang Great State. If he died, a core force resisting the ancient giants would be lost. Therefore, Jiang Fan had kindly reminded him.
The Evil Raven Venerable had lost enough face today; how could he possibly appreciate Jiang Fan's gesture? He gave Jiang Fan a cold stare and said menacingly, "It's none of your business! Hmph!" He then flashed away to another location.
Jiang Fan said indifferently, "Do as you please."
"Hey, kid, we have a good relationship, don't we?" The Heart Devil Venerable flew over, his eyes gleaming. With the catastrophe at hand, as venerables, they understood even more clearly what the Anti-Void Elixir and Heavenly Garment Divine Water meant. Every single one meant an extra glimmer of hope for their disciples to survive. And if their disciples lived, the Ten Thousand Calamities Holy Temple would still have a future!
The Bodhisattva also emerged from the giant Buddha's phantom, walked over with palms pressed together, and said, "Benefactor Jiang, this humble monk wishes to seek alms."
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at them. The Heart Devil Venerable had almost cost him his life, and the Bodhisattva had recently chased him all over the world trying to convert him. And now they had the nerve to talk about friendship and beg for alms?
Nevertheless, he gave each of them ten Anti-Void Elixirs and Heavenly Garment Divine Waters in total. It was the same principle: one more ounce of power meant one more ounce of hope for Taicang Great State. The Heart Devil Venerable and Bodhisattva knew when to stop; it was already good that Jiang Fan gave them anything, so how could they complain about the amount? The disciples of the Ten Thousand Calamities Holy Temple and White Horse Temple were all proud. Their Transformation God Venerable and Bodhisattva had personally come forward to request elixirs, a privilege other sects did not have, especially the Sanqing Mountain and the Divine Movement Sect, whose relationship with Jiang Fan was quite strained.
Jiang Fan had no intention of distributing them to all sects. He had to take care of his own people first.
Scanning the area, he spotted the Fire Worship Cult not far away and noticed that Fairy Qianlan and Venerable Yunhuo had not come. He couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern, "Are my martial uncle and martial aunt doing well?" Speaking of which, he hadn't heard from them in a long time. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, after they showed their support, he hadn't seen them again.
The Fire Worship Cult Master explained with a smile, "After Fairy Qianlan and Venerable Yunhuo received your Dragon Marrow Pills, they entered seclusion for cultivation. They have just broken through, and their foundations are unstable, so we arranged for them to remain at the sect."
How could Jiang Fan not understand the hidden meaning? The current battle was a matter of life and death. By keeping them at the sect, the Fire Worship Cult Master was actually protecting them, indirectly doing Jiang Fan a favor. He silently cupped his hands in thanks. Then he took out ten Anti-Void Elixirs and ten Heavenly Garment Divine Waters and handed them to the Fire Worship Cult Master.
The Fire Worship Cult Master was overjoyed and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang." The Heart Devil Venerable and Bodhisattva had to humble themselves to get twenty pills in total. He only looked after them a little, and he also received twenty pills. No wonder they kept saying Jiang Fan valued loyalty and friendship.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
Jiang Fan nodded, then approached the Jian family. Jian Lanjiang led the entire family's Nascent Soul stage cultivators to the scene; even a few Nine-Aperture Nascent Souls were knocked unconscious and carried there. Naturally, Jiang Fan was not stingy with the Jian family.
"Patriarch Jian, you must take care of yourselves on the battlefield." He took out twenty elixirs and placed them in Jian Lanjiang's hand.
Jian Lanjiang was filled with gratitude. He turned and pulled Jian Linyuan over: "You brat, what are you standing there for? Senior Jiang did this for your sake; aren't you going to thank him properly?" Although his tone was stern, his eyes were full of satisfaction. He had never been optimistic about this junior in the family. Their talent was neither good nor bad, and they weren't direct descendants of the main family. But unexpectedly, he had managed to form a connection with Jiang Fan early on. Now, thanks to this connection, they had received a full twenty invaluable treasure elixirs. If the Jian family could survive, Jian Linyuan would at least deserve two shares of the credit.
Jian Linyuan cupped his hands and said, "Senior Jiang, no thanks are needed for such great kindness. How about I marry my sister to you?"
Jiang Fan gave him a playful kick, laughing and scolding: "Later, I'll get your sister an even more powerful hammer!"
Watching them talk and laugh, Jian Linyu, from a distance, sighed softly: "Jian Weishuang and her brother, they're so lucky. To befriend Jiang Fan before he achieved enlightenment. If they and Jiang Fan survive this battle, the Jian family will likely promote them as the family's core."
Next, Jiang Fan gave a batch of elixirs to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. He was not stingy with them, giving one to each person. Bai Xin, on the other hand, received two extra.
"During the great battle, take care of yourself." Jiang Fan looked at Bai Xin, who was dressed in silver-white soft armor, her hair coiled up with two strands gracefully falling by her ears. If such an upright person died on the battlefield, he would feel endless regret.
"What are you doing? Why are you giving her two extra? What are your intentions?" Venerable Liudao rushed over, watching Jiang Fan warily, saying: "Commander Bai, as the saying goes, 'undue attention implies ulterior motives.' Don't be fooled by this guy's petty favors. He's very good at charming women! You absolutely must not fall for it!"
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched. This old geezer, has he forgotten his old friend, with whom he shared life and death, now that he has a daughter? And he's guarding against him like a thief?
Bai Xin extended her hand, took the two elixirs, and a faint smile appeared in her otherwise expressionless eyes. "Thank you, you take care too." Compared to her previous lack of emotion, she was becoming more human. Although, this was only true when it came to Jiang Fan. But there was already a clear change.
Jiang Fan nodded, then rolled his eyes at Venerable Liudao, who was guarding him so strictly, and said: "As for you, may you die soon and achieve rebirth."
Venerable Liudao puffed out his beard and glared, "You brat, as long as you don't die, I won't die!" Both of their fates were intertwined with death. It was hard to say who would die first.
Finally, Jiang Fan returned to the people of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. They had already received Anti-Void Elixirs before, so Jiang Fan distributed one Heavenly Garment Divine Water to each person.
Gu Xiner's heart bled as she watched; Jiang Fan was truly giving away the Heavenly Garment Divine Water for free. The ten Heavenly Garment Divine Waters she had hoarded were now all worthless in her hands! She pulled out her black notebook, scribbled a series of names rapidly, and gritted her teeth, saying: "Damn Jiang Fan, rotten Jiang Fan, you've ruined me! I swear I'll never forgive you!"
