Chapter 677: Bring your head to see me
...
Chen Huaian only emerged from the Cangyun Realm after feeding Li Qingran until she was full.
This little girl was becoming increasingly gluttonous; she basically wouldn't let him leave until her belly was visibly swollen.
Fortunately, there was the 1:24 time flow ratio.
Half an hour on Earth Star later, and Li Qingran would be energetic and ready for action again.
It wouldn't affect her ability to help him later using 'Divine Wandering in the Void' at all.
"How are things looking now?"
Wang Shouyi jumped in fright as Chen Huaian appeared beside him like a ghost.
"Senior, you've finished handling your matters and returned?" He breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head. "The situation isn't good. The second batch of premium Celestial Jade Marrow was snatched by someone unknown again. These mysterious entities appear and disappear unpredictably. Her Eminence told me she temporarily can't detect any information about them."
"Ah? That's really bad..." Chen Huaian shook his head to express regret.
Meanwhile, he secretly transmitted a message to Zhang Yibai, "Old Zhang, did you see who made the move?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yibai's grave voice came through: "No, I only sensed a sharp Sword Intent. That person's Sword Qi could slice through space itself. The premium Celestial Jade Marrow was sucked into the space he cleaved open. This old man suspects the opponent also has the ability to manipulate space, otherwise they shouldn't have been able to take it so easily!"
"So that's what happened." Chen Huaian's expression darkened. "The mysterious faction has already plucked away three pieces of Celestial Jade Marrow. We must go all out for the remaining six!"
Zhang Yibai and Chen Huaian's conversation was completely within the perception range of Hua Jin the True One's Divine Sense.
She heard everything but showed no outward reaction, though inwardly she felt slightly relieved.
It seemed that while Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, and Chen Huaian were likely variables, they weren't the same group as those Sword Pavilion people from before.
While feeling reassured, she couldn't help but also feel a growing sense of urgency.
The number of 'variables' seemed to be continuously increasing.
Their characteristic was that most were Sword Cultivators, and their combat power far exceeded their apparent cultivation levels.
Now there were already variables at the Unity Realm appearing—in the future, there might be variables at the Void Shattering, Harmony stage, and even Feathered Transformation realms.
If she encountered variables with that level of cultivation, wouldn't she be completely doomed?
But she would worry about future matters later.
Hua Jin the True One wasn't the type to borrow trouble.
Seeing Chen Huaian's grave expression, she gently reassured him: "Senior Chen, there's no need to feel so much pressure. When the next Celestial Jade Marrow is born, that Demon Immortal avatar and I will be the first to be alert to any possible moves from the mysterious faction."
"This way I have at least a fifty percent chance of obtaining the premium Celestial Jade Marrow."
"Moreover, that mysterious faction probably won't make another move."
"If they don't dare to confront us directly, it shows they fear the combat power of me and the Demon Immortal avatar. Once we start taking precautions, they can only hide like cowardly rats."
Hide like cowardly rats?
Chen Huaian felt like laughing.
But he couldn't laugh now—he had to remain serious.
"Hua Jin the True One speaks wisely." Chen Huaian cupped his hands respectfully. "This Venerable One was worrying too much. This Venerable One will go discuss strategies with Old Zhang and Old Gu to ensure the Great Thunder Temple doesn't obtain a single piece of Celestial Jade Marrow!"
Hua Jin the True One nodded. "Very well, you may go. With you all holding the fort, I feel quite confident."
Feeling the trust in Hua Jin the True One's eyes, Chen Huaian experienced a tiny twinge of guilt.
He quickly took his leave from Hua Jin the True One's side and descended into the Earth Veins Formation Core.
...
Deep within the Earth Veins, at the Formation Core, flowing light illuminated the faces of Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, and Lin Fan, casting their features in shifting patterns of light and shadow.
The three sat cross-legged, their spiritual power connected to the great formation, their auras deep and steady.
Chen Huaian's figure appeared silently within the luminous patterns of intertwined formation lines.
"Ancestor!" Lin Fan was the first to open his eyes. Those eyes covered by cloth strips seemed capable of piercing through the obstruction, accurately focusing on Chen Huaian.
His face showed a mix of triumphant excitement and smugness as he opened his palm. Resting in his palm was a purple-gold crystalline object the size of a baby's fist, radiating vast and pure Spiritual Energy fluctuations—it was precisely that "missing" premium Celestial Jade Marrow.
"Look!"
"Good job, kid!" Chen Huaian's eyes lit up.
He practically rushed forward, snatching the warm, jade-like crystal and swiftly stuffing it into his storage ring.
It wasn't that he was being disrespectful.
Mainly because Hua Jin the True One could clearly detect the aura of Celestial Jade Marrow.
This young woman could predict the birth location of Celestial Jade Marrow three days in advance.
He was terrified this piece might be discovered.
"This thing is too hot to handle, can't just take it out casually."
Chen Huaian patted Lin Fan's shoulder with appreciation, then asked seriously: "There are still six more pieces coming. Hua Jin and that bald donkey have reached a tacit understanding to eliminate you first. Are you confident you can snatch more Celestial Jade Marrow while they're on high alert?"
Here at the Earth Veins Core, protected by Old Zhang's formation, he wasn't afraid of anyone above hearing his conversation with Lin Fan.
Hearing this, Lin Fan's lips curled into a ferocious smile.
"Jiejie! Don't worry, Ancestor! Their strength hasn't reached the point where they can completely suppress me yet, at least not now! Then I, Lin Fan, have a seventy percent certainty of snatching the goods for you! Whether it's Hua Jin or that Demon Immortal avatar, whoever dares block my path, I'll blow them up!"
"Ahem, Hua Jin is actually considered one of our people." Chen Huaian coughed lightly. "Don't blow up Hua Jin."
"So that's how it is, no wonder you two ancestors have been looking out for her."
The unruly arrogance on Lin Fan's face receded slightly, replaced by a rare hint of awkwardness.
He rubbed his fingers together, his voice lowering: "Snatching treasures isn't a problem, it's just... just that I need you, Ancestor, to provide a little support with some 'Consumable Materials'."
"Oh? What consumables?" Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow, his heart skipping a beat.
For someone with Lin Fan's tough, unyielding personality to actively ask for something, it seemed the consumption of this "Explosive Sword Style" was truly extraordinary.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, as if steeling himself, and spoke rapidly:
"Ancestor, you know that all my skills are focused on 'Explosive Sword'."
"This thing is incredibly powerful, but... it consumes swords too quickly!"
"Especially when dealing with tough opponents like the Demon Immortal avatar, to achieve decisive results with one strike and completely tear through their defenses, I need at least a top-tier Spiritual Artifact level longsword as the catalyst!"
"The higher the grade, the more concentrated the explosive power, and the greater the certainty of piercing through their protective energy!"
He spread his hands, looking both helpless and pained: "But over the years... you know my style."
"Once a sword is in my hand, it either cuts people or explodes."
"All the good swords I've accumulated have basically turned to dust in this Explosive Sword Style."
"Now my pockets are emptier than my face, only a few pieces of scrap metal left."
"If that Demon Immortal avatar reveals its true form, this junior would probably only be able to give it a light scratch at best?"
Lin Fan looked at Chen Huaian with pleading eyes, "Ancestor! Believe me!"
"Just give me a few really sturdy blades, and I guarantee I'll snatch the remaining marrow for you!"
"Not a single piece missing! If I fail, I, Lin Fan, will bring you my head as proof!"
It seemed Zhang Yibai had already told Lin Fan about the fearsome aspects of the Demon Immortal avatar.
Chen Huaian pondered briefly.
Currently, this Demon Immortal avatar hadn't revealed its full strength at all, though it was unclear what it was hesitant about.
His own cultivation level was inferior to the opponent's, and coupled with the distance, he couldn't hear the opponent's thoughts.
However...
He glanced at the Electronic Girlfriend store where a single top-grade spirit jade could exchange for one top-tier Spiritual Artifact longsword and fell into silence.
Consumable materials?
Didn't he have plenty of those?
