Qin Wangchuan cautiously stepped back to Jiang Fan’s side, saying coldly, "Sorry, this is for our Green Cloud Sect disciples."
"Chen Jing, since you have already apprenticed under the True Word Venerable, asking for this item is unbecoming of your identity, right?"
Liu Wuchen felt satisfied inside.
This shameless person, weren’t you just scorning them earlier?
Now you wish to ask them for something?
Immediately, he said indifferently, "Chen Jing, if this item is given to you, and the True Word Venerable finds out, he might misunderstand that you have unclear ties with the Green Cloud Sect, which wouldn’t be good for you."
"We won’t make things difficult for you."
Chen Jing felt regret in his heart.
Had he known that the Green Cloud Sect possessed such a treasure, he wouldn’t have been so distant before.
Seeing that everyone else in the Green Cloud Sect was rejecting him, he could only turn to the one who had shown concern for him, Feng Guchan.
"Master Feng, this disciple truly needs this nail."
"Considering my hardships in Taicang State, please, help disciple."
Feng Guchan remained silent.
If Chen Jing hadn’t called him "Elder Feng" earlier, he might have softened and changed his decision.
But now, he’s utterly disillusioned.
Seeing how Jiang Fan generously gifted seven precious Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens, compared to the few bottles of Low Grade Dust Heart Pill from Chen Jing,
Even if confused, he could never betray Jiang Fan to favor this heartless Chen Jing.
"Chen Jing, you exaggerated. I don’t deserve to be called your master."
"Moreover, this is the decision of the Supreme Elders. How could one Elder decide?"
"Don’t make things difficult for me."
Hearing this, everyone was relieved.
They were indeed worried that Feng Guchan might relent and get involved heedlessly.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Wangchuan quickly stuffed the Soul Awakening Divine Nail into Jiang Fan’s arms.
Jiang Fan has space storage devices; with spells, he could prevent Chen Jing from snatching it.
Being polite, Jiang Fan immediately stored it into the Heavenly Thunder Stone.
Chen Jing became anxious.
Turning his hopes to Jiang Fan, he said, "Junior Brother Jiang, this item is of no use to you."
"Give it to Senior Brother, and I owe you a favor."
Jiang Fan felt puzzled.
Does the True Word Venerable choose disciples without considering character?
Why would he choose Chen Jing as a disciple?
Also, his talent in the Martial Path doesn’t seem top-notch, right?
Twenty-eight years old, Second-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, indeed respectable on the continent.
But in Taicang State, it’s not the top tier.
And only three in the Divinity Transformation realm and one Bodhisattva.
No matter how you look at it, Chen Jing doesn’t qualify to be a Divinity Transformation disciple, right?
Does Chen Jing possess something that he hadn’t noticed?
Thinking so, Jiang Fan firmly refused, "Sorry, Chen Jing."
"I’m neither your Junior Brother nor do I wish to owe you a favor."
"Besides, this item is useful to me."
He discreetly released his realm.
Hmm?
Chen Jing’s face changed dramatically, incredulous, "Second-stage Nascent Soul?"
"When...did you break through to the Second-stage Nascent Soul?"
Immediately, he recalled the dreadful Infinite Blood Tribulation, gasping, "Was it you yesterday?"
Jiang Fan nodded.
Chen Jing stared at Jiang Fan, his eyes filled with strong unwillingness.
The Green Cloud Sect producing someone like him was already a miracle.
How could it also produce an existence of the Infinite Blood Tribulation?
Recalling how his master once said he couldn’t match Jiang Fan, anger surged in his heart, he said:
"Let’s have a battle!"
"If I lose, I’ll agree to one condition."
"If you lose, the Soul Awakening Divine Nail is mine!"
"Don’t refuse; you have no choice!"
He waved his hand, and the palm power, akin to the might of a Four Apertures Nascent Soul, split the Demon Emperor Hall in two!
Jiang Fan frowned deeply.
He increasingly sensed the abnormality in Chen Jing.
Both in the Nascent Soul Realm, they’ve been through challenges, yet what sort of mindset is this?
Moreover, vaguely, his spirit seemed off.
A bit...mad?
