Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 184 - : The Order of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion
Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Order of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion
“It’s you!”
Zhuang Yuanyin suddenly sat up.
His chest-length beard floated up with the motion.
He never imagined in his wildest dreams.
The one who cut him would be his own junior!
“Ahem!” Jiang Fan coughed awkwardly, “Disciple did not know it was Supreme Elder revered driver yesterday.”
...
“If there is any offense, please, Supreme Elder, be merciful.”
Be merciful?
Fresh out of seclusion, and already taken a harsh lesson from society.
And the teacher was his own grand-disciple!
He had lost face all the way to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!
How could he be merciful?
“You kid, you’ve got some guts!” Zhuang Yuanyin gritted his teeth.
Jiang Fan secretly cursed his bad luck.
His first time killing someone, and it happened to be the Supreme Elder.
Who could he complain to?
Seeing that Zhuang Yuanyin looked like he wouldn’t let it go, Jiang Fan could only say,
“How about this, I’ll refund the money to the Supreme Elder, and you give the Beast Whip back…”
Zhuang Yuanyin shuddered in fear!
If it got out that he had bought the Beast Whip, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
“Shut up!”
He hastily stopped Jiang Fan, his mind racing.
Returning the Beast Whip was out of the question, he needed it urgently.
And he couldn’t expel Jiang Fan from the sect.
If Jiang Fan spread the word, his reputation would be ruined!
He couldn’t just not expel him, he had to keep him pacified.
Otherwise, if he upset him, Jiang Fan might still spill the beans!

Thinking of this, he held back a bellyful of anger.
Yet he couldn’t vent it.
The entire great hall was silent, everyone was waiting for the Supreme Elder’s final decision.
Wang Chengjian was internally delighted, “Before leaving, you just had to anger the Supreme Elder.”
“I figure, you won’t escape a beating.”
However.
Just as he was thinking that.
Something happened that left him dumbfounded.
A moment ago, Zhuang Yuanyin had been on the verge of exploding, but now he suddenly put on a kindly smile and praised generously,
“Being without a Spirit Root and still achieving this level shows your great perseverance.”
“While talent is important on the Martial Path, perseverance is also indispensable.”
“I see great potential in you, you will achieve great things in the future.”
With that.
He took a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills from his sleeve.
Thinking it wasn’t enough, he took out another bottle.
“Take these, I hope to see your new performance in the disciple rating in a few days.”
Huh?
Jiang Fan was puzzled as he received the two bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Can someone tell me what’s going on?
His lack of a Spirit Root was discovered, and he extorted the Supreme Elder, which was also revealed.
Why did nothing happen to him, and instead he received two bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward?
Bear in mind, Wang Chengjian, who performed second, only got one bottle as a reward.
Not to mention himself.
Even Liu Qingxian, who was watching, felt confused.
Only Liu Wuchen, who knew the internal details, guessed the real reason.
He couldn’t help but mumble, “Master has finally experienced the feeling of suffering in silence like I did back then.”
Thinking of this, he felt a bit gleeful.
You scolded me harshly just now.
How is it now?
Aren’t you still being made to suffer by Jiang Fan?
Haha!
Wang Chengjian’s face turned green.
His reward was actually less than Jiang Fan’s?
What nonsense was that?
He clenched his fists and said coldly, “Go ahead, be smug!”
“The disciple rating is coming up soon, let’s see what you do then!”
The incident subsided silently.
Once Zhuang Yuanyin finished inspecting all the disciples, he gave Liu Wuchen a look.
Liu Wuchen took a deep breath, his expression gradually became serious.
In a deep and powerful voice, he said, “While all disciples are gathered today, I have something to announce!”
Everyone sat up straight.
It must be something significant for Liu Wuchen to be so formal.
“Recently, Vice Pavilion Master You Yunzi of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion visited our sect and conveyed a decision from the Pavilion!”
The crowd exchanged glances.
They were not surprised.
It was unlikely someone as distinguished as You Yunzi would come to the Green Cloud Sect for a sightseeing tour, right?
There must be important business.
Liu Wuchen raised his voice, “Considering the significant threat posed by this Beast Tide, which endangers the Nine-Sect Land.”
“The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has issued a conscription order to the Nine Sects!”
“They require elite disciples and elders from the Nine Sects to head to the Beast Tide front lines to fend off the Beast Tide!”
Upon hearing this.
Everyone’s demeanor turned solemn.
Some disciples looked panicked, while others, who had already anticipated this, couldn’t hide their fear.
How ferocious were demon beasts?
And how terrifying was the Beast Tide?
If one was not careful, even elders, the top experts of the current age, could fall.
What more for ordinary disciples?
Liu Wuchen then reassured them, “Although the mission is dangerous, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion offers generous rewards!”
“If one accumulates sufficient merit, the Pavilion will make an exception and admit them for further training!”
What?
With these words, the crowd was in an uproar.
What a supreme place the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was!
The resources there were ten times that of the Green Cloud Sect!
Even a dog entering there would come out invincible.
“Additionally, based on merit, one can exchange for various cultivation resources.”
“Pills for breaking through the Core Formation Realm are also among them!”
The crowd’s spirits rallied once more.
They realized that although the mission was perilous, it was a rare opportunity in a decade.
With enough merit, they might defy fate!
Jiang Fan’s heart was pounding.
To be honest, the Green Cloud Sect’s resources were no longer sufficient to advance his cultivation.
Stronger resources were necessary to move forward.
This mission issued by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a golden opportunity.
“However, not all disciples can participate.”
At this point, Liu Wuchen interrupted many disciples’ fantasies, saying,
“The Beast Tide is not like individual demon beasts; they usually move in hordes. Without strong skills, one can easily get injured or even die.”
“Therefore, after discussing with the elders of the Nine Peaks, only disciples with a rating of ‘Good’ or above are permitted to participate!”
Immediately, nearly half of the disciples turned distressed.
Reaching a ‘Good’ rating was not easy.
Especially since the rating this time was conducted by Reincarnation Peak.
If they targeted the Sect Master Peak, achieving a Good rating would be even more challenging.
“Alright! The disciple rating will be in five days!”
“Prepare yourselves!”
After a pause.
Liu Wuchen added, “For disciples confident in achieving a ‘Good’ rating, start preparing for the Beast Tide now.”
“Remember to stock up on life-saving items; your life is paramount.”
Everyone understood.
After dismissal.
They immediately flocked down the mountain to Green Cloud City to purchase supplies.
“Jiang Fan, let’s go too!”
Liu Qingxian, eager for the opportunity of advanced training in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, pulled Jiang Fan along.
“Senior Sister, do you have a collection token for the Medicine Garden? I want to gather some herbs.”
Life-saving items were usually defensive armor, escape talismans, and most importantly, healing Spirit Pills.
The healing Spirit Pills available in Green Cloud City were Low-Tier Pills.
They were very limited in effectiveness.
It was better if he made them himself.
Liu Qingxian was surprised but didn’t think much of it, handing him a token on the spot.
“Take it, we’ll meet up later.”
She went ahead.
Jiang Fan, holding the token, returned to the Medicine Garden.
Several deacons verified the token and said, “High-tier token, you can collect ten pounds of high-grade medicinal materials, go ahead!”
Ten pounds?
That would be more than enough.
Shortly after entering.
Wen Hongyao rushed over, asking, “Did the Supreme Elder from my Medicine Peak go in?”
The three deacons nodded, “Yes, Elder Wen, Supreme Elder Qin entered the garden as soon as he returned to the sect.”
Wen Hongyao could only laugh and cry.
Her master, Qin Wangchuan, went out months ago and immediately headed to the Medicine Garden upon returning.
Still as obsessed with medicinal materials as ever.
Then she thought of something and asked, “No one else went inside, right?”
“My master doesn’t have as good a temper as I do.”
“If he sees a disciple damaging the herbs, he’ll lose his temper on the spot.”
