Chapter 383: Chuan Chuan's Social Death

A disciple approached, asking doubtfully, "Deacon Lin, what mineral rights transfer agreement are you talking about?"

Lin Fanhai suddenly snapped awake.

He quickly closed the agreement and said, "Don't ask! Quickly, prepare the horses! This agreement must be sent back to the sect via an urgent 800-li dispatch!"

"Is it that important?" The disciple was startled and hurried to prepare the horses, asking, "But what about the mine after you leave, Deacon? Should we continue mining or not?"

Some procedures still required Deacon Lin's personal handling.

Lin Fanhai exclaimed, "Who cares about the mine now!"

His mouth was dry. His mind was filled with the astonishing content of the agreement: the Grand Supreme Sect was gratuitously transferring half of its mining area to the Azure Cloud Sect! This... this was an unprecedented event! How could he possibly worry about a mere few days' worth of mining?

For Jiang Fan to entrust such an important matter to him, a mere deacon, was an immense show of trust. This was an opportunity for him to prove himself and earn merit before the sect!

Understanding Jiang Fan's true intention, Lin Fanhai was profoundly grateful. "Junior Brother Jiang, you are my great benefactor!"

With light hooves, Jiang Fan was already on his way to the Asura Sect.

"So this is the Seven-Colored Profound Crystal?"

Inside the carriage, he took out a piece of Seven-Colored Profound Ice the size of a baby's head. Looking at the profound ice emitting a rainbow glow, he couldn't help but marvel.

This profound ice was exceptionally cold. However, it didn't freeze flesh but rather spiritual energy. After holding it for a moment, he felt his spiritual energy circulation become impeded.

"One of the main ingredients for the Pure Void Pill is now in my hands," Jiang Fan murmured to himself.

Chuan Chuan looked over, pouting, "Why go through all this trouble for a useless stone? Only people from outside this realm value things like this."

Jiang Fan rubbed her cheek. "Little girl, don't you claim to know everything? Where's your previous arrogance now? Don't you even know the wonderful uses of Seven-Colored Profound Ice? It can not only be used to refine pills but also to forge powerful, harmful artifacts. More importantly, it can activate hidden bloodline potential. It's actually an extremely valuable treasure."

Chuan Chuan showed a look of surprise. The Seven-Colored Profound Ice excavated by various sects each year was sold at extremely high prices to forces outside the realm. Its true purpose remained unknown to anyone until now. Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan had casually revealed the truth.

"However, I find it a bit strange," Jiang Fan said, holding the Seven-Colored Profound Crystal. "Why did the Seven-Colored Poison Toad and the Mist Demon venture deep into human territory, braving danger to covet the Seven-Colored Profound Crystal? Moreover, they could have simply taken the Seven-Colored Profound Crystal away. So why did they set up poisonous miasma and guard the area around it? Could there be something inside?"

He activated his vision and looked into the depths of the Seven-Colored Profound Crystal. Upon closer inspection, he indeed discovered something.

"Huh, there seems to be a blood vessel inside? It's still pulsing, it's a living thing!"

Jiang Fan was considerably surprised. Chuan Chuan also cast an astonished gaze. How was that possible? But when she looked closely, she indeed found something resembling a blood vessel inside.

"It's a natural bloodline!" Chuan Chuan exclaimed in surprise. "I can't believe something like this truly exists in the world! This is a divine object that evolves when the essence blood of a Soul Transformation-level demonic beast drips onto a spiritual item and undergoes the baptism of the sun and moon. It's said to grant one-tenth of the original owner's innate divine abilities."

Her eyes widened, revealing a look of longing.

Jiang Fan handed her the profound ice. "If you want it, it's yours."

Chuan Chuan was momentarily stunned. "Really?"

"Of course not," Jiang Fan said with a smile. "By the sound of it, it's a good item, so of course, I'm keeping it for myself."

*Creak—* Chuan Chuan's small fists clenched, making a creaking sound. She had never been so exasperated in her life!

"It seems those two demonic beasts wanted to absorb this natural bloodline," Jiang Fan mused, stroking his chin with a smile. "But they were stopped before they could succeed. Let's take it to the Giant Sect. We'll find an opportunity to deal with it there."

Since the natural bloodline was formed from the essence blood of a demonic beast, naturally only demonic beasts could utilize it. However, this was not a problem. The Giant Sect practiced various chaotic body-refining techniques and even consumed Blood Corpse Worms. For them, a natural bloodline might even be a treasure.

Several days later, Jiang Fan finally arrived at the outer city of the Giant Sect.

Compared to the quiet Azure Cloud City, Giant City was bustling with people and exceedingly lively. It was filled with disciples from the Nine Sects, martial arts families from various regions, and people from all walks of life. As a result, the city's public order had deteriorated. Theft, robbery, and deceit were rampant. Immediately upon entering the city, they witnessed a chaotic scene of a group of people chasing and fleeing.

"Alright, you can let me down now," Qin Wangchuan sighed deeply. She could finally get rid of this little rascal. Heaven knew how much she had to suppress her temper throughout the journey.

"Where are your relatives?" Jiang Fan asked, looking around. In such a chaotic city, he wouldn't dare let Chuan Chuan off the carriage casually before someone took over.

Qin Wangchuan pouted. "So verbose!" She wanted to simply point to a random mansion and send Jiang Fan away.

Unexpectedly, an aged voice came from diagonally ahead. "You're finally here. Us old fellows have been waiting for you for quite a while."

Jiang Fan looked towards the sound. An eighty-year-old bald man walked towards Qin Wangchuan, laughing heartily. He wore a black traditional jacket embroidered with patterns of copper coins and ingots. He had a round hat and a large belly. When he smiled, his eyes disappeared. He looked exactly like a wealthy landlord.

Jiang Fan was momentarily lost in thought. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen such a gaudily dressed gentry since entering the martial arts world. Out of caution, he held Chuan Chuan's hand and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Er—" The old man looked at the two of them and muttered to himself, "This old woman, when she was young, she'd get angry if anyone treated her like a child. Now that she's almost in the grave, she actually likes this kind of thing."

Jiang Fan couldn't hear his muttering, but Qin Wangchuan heard it clearly. Her old face flushed, and she let go of Jiang Fan's hand, scolding him, "You can leave now! This is my relative."

"Relative?" The old man's mouth twitched. Who would dare touch the relative of the Azure Cloud Sect's Little Tyrant? He was Yu Yingchen, a Grand Elder of the Thousand Refinements Sect. This time, each of the Nine Sects had dispatched a Grand Elder to Giant City to discuss an important matter. The Grand Elders from the other eight sects had already arrived, but Qin Wangchuan was significantly late. He had specifically waited at the city gate for several days and finally saw her. Only then did he understand why Qin Wangchuan was late. Carrying a burden all the way, it was no wonder she was slow.

"Right, young man, you can go now." Yu Yingchen, seeing that Jiang Fan seemed unaware of Qin Wangchuan's identity, played along to smooth things over.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly. He didn't even know this person's name or where he lived, so how could he dare hand Chuan Chuan over to him? "As the saying goes, 'see a task through to the end.' May I ask where you reside, old sir? I'll personally escort Chuan Chuan there."

"Chuan Chuan?" Yu Yingchen was momentarily stunned, nearly bursting into laughter. The famous Little Tyrant was actually given the name 'Chuan Chuan'! No, no. He couldn't be the only one to know about this amusing matter. He had to let the other old fellows hear about it too.
