Li Daoye and the others stood on the Immortal Boat, feeling quite bored as they discussed the results of the recent negotiations.
Pei Qingfeng was not optimistic about the outcome. He had a vague feeling that an undercurrent was surrounding the Langya Clan, and that things might not be going so well.
"I saw many Immortal Boats leaving. Maybe they came to a conclusion already?" someone said curiously.
"Who knows? You might want to ask someone from the Langya Clan; they might know some details. It's a pity…. I really wanted to see the negotiation scene with my own eyes."
"Yes, I heard that the leaders of all the major clans were there, with the lowest cultivation level being in the Fusion Realm!"
"With our status, it's naturally impossible for us to be on the scene. Only the ancestor would have had the chance to see the negotiation results in person."
"Right, I said if the ancestor could see the results in person, would there be any issues?"
"Wait, look over there. Isn't that him?"
He instinctively wanted to tag along, but Pei Qingfeng blocked him with his hand.
"What are you planning to do? Uncle Master might have personal matters to discuss. Don't disturb them," Pei Qingfeng said casually.
Li Daoye sighed inwardly. "Just curious about what private matter they're up to…."
Jiang Tian'ai wasn't very talkative as they walked. Her gaze occasionally drifted into the distance, as if she were harboring deep emotions.
Fang Chen also didn't talk.
As they flew several hundred miles away, Jiang Tian'ai suddenly spoke. "Young Master Fang, there's something… I'd like to ask your help for."
Fang Chen smiled. "Go ahead, what is it? I'll help if I can, but you should understand that I'm only at the Golden Core Realm."
He added, "Your master is a Profound Immortal. If there's anything, shouldn't she be able to handle it?"
Jiang Tian'ai spoke softly. "Young Master Fang, you should know… the Jiang Family was once the leading family of the human path. Although we've fallen, we've still left behind numerous inheritances over the years.
"Throughout countless years, to protect these legacies, many strong individuals have perished. No matter how hard we tried, the legacies were lost one after another, and the Jiang Family has gradually declined, like a curse.
"By the time I was born, the Jiang Family could no longer be considered a great family. We are even worse off than ordinary cultivation families. Fortunately, there are still some elders in the various Heavenly Court and Immortal Manors who acknowledge the bloodline of my family."
At this point, Jiang Tian'ai finally gathered her courage and looked at Fang Chen. "But in reality, these elders are only after my family's inheritance. They look like they're nice and trying to help, but… even my master is no exception…."
"Perhaps it's best to leave them be for now. You can reclaim them once you have enough strength," Fang Chen suggested.
Jiang Tian'ai's situation was indeed quite bad, especially if even Profound Immortal Xiu Yue also wanted the Jiang Family's inheritance. With her level of strength, how could Jiang Tian'ai put up a fight against Profound Immortal Xiu Yue?
Jiang Tian'ai shook her head, looking very determined. "I can't give it up. This is the most important inheritance of the Jiang Family. If it is given away, there may be no Jiang Family in the world in the future."
"What do you want me to do?" Fang Chen asked softly.
Fang Chen was a bit surprised. "How will you extract the inheritance from your bloodline?"
Jiang Tian'ai's face blushed slightly. "My family has a way to do this. If you agree, Young Master Fang, I will use this method to transfer the inheritance to you for safekeeping."
Fang Chen lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. He conversed with the Mirror of the Universe in his mind.
"Little Mirror, what is the Jiang Family's most important inheritance?"
"That would be me, obviously."
"… And what is the inheritance hidden in Jiang Tian'ai's bloodline?"
"The Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique—considered one of the top pill techniques in the world. Even though many special formulas have been lost over the years, the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique should still be preserved in its entirety, so it might be the number one pill technique in the world today.
"Brother, I suggest you take care of it for her. This way, you can also practice the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique. With your talent and my convenience in finding spiritual materials, there's no reason not to become successful.
"Moreover, if this technique really is with her, it'll place her in danger. If others don't get their hands on it, it's fine. But if they do, she could very well be silenced. On the other hand, by entrusting it to you, you can ensure her a certain degree of safety."
Fang Chen looked at Jiang Tian'ai. "If you think this is the right thing to do, I can keep it safe for you. While I hold on to it for safekeeping, I will practice the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique."
Jiang Tian'ai was delighted at first and then slightly startled, looking at Fang Chen with disbelief.
She stammered, "Young Master Fang, how did you know it's the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique.…"
"I guessed." Fang Chen smiled. "They know about it too, right?"
Jiang Tian'ai instinctively nodded, her surprise fading a bit. The Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique was not a secret to those in the know. If not for the technique, she wouldn't have her current status and position in the Immortal Giant Sect.
"Young Master Fang, the method of transferring the inheritance is a bit special, please don't mind it."
Fang Chen grew a little curious. "Special?"
Soon after, he understood why Jiang Tian'ai was so embarrassed. The method the Jiang Family used to transfer bloodline inheritance was quite bold. Jiang Tian'ai would infuse all her blood into Fang Chen's body, merging with his blood, and then use a special method to transfer the inheritance.
Afterward, once the blood was separated, the transfer would be considered complete. However, during this period, the two must completely trust each other and maintain zero distance. This was also the reason for Jiang Tian'ai's inexplicable shyness.
With the transfer complete, Jiang Tian'ai's complexion was a bit pale. She took a few pills, and her color gradually returned to normal. Nevertheless, she kept her head lowered, not daring to look directly at Fang Chen.
"If you return looking , they might pick up on something," Fang Chen warned her.
Jiang Tian'ai was slightly startled and immediately adjusted her mindset, trying to clear her thoughts and appear calm and composed. However, the feeling of intimacy she had with Fang Chen was hard for her to forget.
Fang Chen nodded lightly. "Mm."
He would need to find time to review the Heavenly Supreme Pill Technique he had just acquired. This was the first time he had obtained a pill technique since stepping into the world of cultivation.
