Chapter 388: Jia Wenchang and Ye Fan

Inside the main hall.

Wang Jianqiang scrutinized the slender and graceful figure before him for a moment.

Until Lin Lin's pretty face turned beet red, he gave a light smile, "Since the Fairy has a request, I, Wang, naturally will not hold back."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lin let out a long sigh of relief.

"I have troubled you, Daoist Friend Wang."

……

One day later.

Lin Lin departed.

Wang Jianqiang collapsed onto a chair, his face full of exhaustion.

He rested for an hour before he managed to recover his strength.

Immediately after, he seemed to recall something.

His consciousness entered his Soul Sea.

With a thought.

"Solidify Xing Li Attribute Panel."

"Ding, Xing Li Attribute Panel successfully solidified."

"Golden Cultivation Point +1, Silver Cultivation Point +1, Supernatural Ability Point +1."

"Obtained one chance to draw a Talent Divine Ability."

"Draw Talent Divine Ability?"

"Yes."

"Ding, drawing Talent Divine Ability..."

"Talent Divine Ability successfully drawn, congratulations to the host for obtaining the God Grade Talent Divine Ability, Star Puppet."

Another God Grade Talent Divine Ability!

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

He looked toward the Attribute Panel.

"Star Puppet: God Grade Talent Divine Ability, uses the power of stars to shape the body, with a sliver of Soul Power as the soul, to forge a Star Puppet body. Possesses a death-substitution effect, can automatically block a fatal blow for the host."

"Current awakening level: Primary, after the Star Puppet substitutes for death, it requires thirty years to recover (increasing the awakening level can shorten the recovery time)."

After finishing reading the effects of the Star Puppet.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes suddenly became brighter than ever before.

A death-substitution Supernatural Ability!!

And it is a passive Supernatural Ability that blocks with one hundred percent certainty!

With this Supernatural Ability.

His life-saving capability will undergo a qualitative leap.

He shifted his focus, landing on a small starlight figure within his Soul Sea.

The starlight figure was palm-sized, and its features were unclear.

"Is this the Star Puppet?"

Wang Jianqiang examined it for a moment, then separated a sliver of Soul Power to merge into the Star Puppet's body.

Following the integration of his Soul Power.

The five senses on the Star Puppet's blurred face rapidly became clear.

It transformed into an exact replica of his own appearance.

At the same time, a subtle yet intimate connection suddenly appeared between him and the Star Puppet.

It was as if their lives were linked.

As long as his life was threatened.

The attack would instantly transfer to the Star Puppet, thereby preserving his life.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang's state of mind calmed down.

He withdrew his consciousness from his Soul Sea, preparing to go to the Alchemy Room to practice Alchemy.

Currently, the threat of Xuanqing Palace was like a bone stuck in his throat.

He needed to refine enough Pills as soon as possible to improve his side's strength.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Is Daoist Friend Wang in?"

Just as he stood up, a knock on the door suddenly came.

Wang Jianqiang's Spirit Sense swept outside the door.

Jia Wenchang?

His expression shifted, and he opened the door.

After the door opened, Jia Wenchang walked in with an urgent look on his face, "Daoist Friend Wang, how goes the matter for me?"

Hearing Jia Wenchang's words, Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Look at my memory; ever since I made the agreement with Daoist Friend Jia, I have already sparred with Fairy Lin twice, but both times I was too tired and forgot."

Jia Wenchang's expression stiffened.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on the surface, and could only keep apologizing with a smile.

After some conversation, he couldn't help but urge, "Daoist Friend Wang, I beg you, the next time you spar with Lin'er, please do not forget."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and said, "Daoist Friend Jia, no need to be anxious; when it comes to playing matchmaker, I have plenty of experience."

"Besides, when I played matchmaker for a close friend in the sect, I forgot about it many times too, but didn't the result turn out perfectly?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Wenchang felt reassured.

He offered Wang Jianqiang another round of fawning smiles, "Daoist Friend Wang is right; it is I who was impatient."

After showering Wang Jianqiang with compliments, he took his leave.

Just after leaving Wang Jianqiang's residence.

He saw a figure approaching.

A Hehuan Sect Cultivator?

Jia Wenchang looked at the other person.

They looked quite handsome, with a cultivation base slightly weaker than his own, a Golden Core Mid Stage Cultivator.

"I greet you, Daoist Friend."

As the two were about to pass each other, Jia Wenchang cupped his hands toward the other.

As one of the members of this three-sect gathering, Ye Fan was no stranger to him.

He had recognized him the very first moment he saw him.

He also cupped his hands, "I greet you, Daoist Friend Jia."

After speaking, he looked at Wang Jianqiang's room, then back at Jia Wenchang, "Does Daoist Friend Jia know Brother Wang?"

Brother Wang???

Hearing Ye Fan's form of address for Wang Jianqiang, Jia Wenchang was startled.

This person was only a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, yet he dared to address Wang Jianqiang this way; their relationship must be extraordinary.

His heart immediately became cautious.

He nodded, his tone becoming much more polite, "Daoist Friend Jia and Daoist Friend Wang do not have a deep friendship; I just have some matters I need Daoist Friend Wang's help with, and Daoist Friend Wang is righteous and agreed to it."

"That is why I have troubled Daoist Friend Wang a few times."

"So that's how it is."

Ye Fan nodded, then sighed with emotion, "Brother Wang is indeed very righteous; when we first met, we even had some small frictions."

"But Brother Wang not only didn't mind in the slightest, he even ran around and worked hard for my affairs."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, Brother Wang's temperament hasn't changed at all."

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Jia Wenchang was stunned, his heart stirred, "Has Daoist Friend also had Daoist Friend Wang help you before?"

"Alas, the past is like smoke, better not to mention it."

A flash of sorrow crossed Ye Fan's eyes as he waved his hand.

"If there is a chance, we shall chat again, Daoist Friend. I take my leave."

Seeing that Ye Fan did not wish to say more, Jia Wenchang did not ask further, smiling as he cupped his hands, "Until we meet again."

Afterward, Jia Wenchang departed.

Ye Fan then arrived in front of Wang Jianqiang's residence and knocked on the door.

After Jia Wenchang left, Wang Jianqiang went into the Alchemy Room.

He was just preparing to perform Alchemy.

Suddenly, he heard the door being knocked on again.

He moved his consciousness.

Ye Fan?

After sensing the person outside the door, a strange look appeared on his face.

After pondering for a moment.

He returned to the main hall and opened the door for Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye, long time no see."

Seeing Ye Fan outside the door, Wang Jianqiang revealed a hearty smile.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's laughter.

Ye Fan, who had been somewhat uneasy, felt a long sigh of relief in his heart.

A sincere smile also appeared on his face, "Brother Wang, long time no see."

"Brother Ye, please come in."

Wang Jianqiang enthusiastically led Ye Fan into the room.

After Ye Fan sat down, he looked at Wang Jianqiang with a look of emotion, "In just thirty years of not seeing each other, I didn't expect Brother Wang to have successfully formed the Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse."

"Just luck, merely luck..."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a chuckle, "Brother Ye is not bad either; you have also made significant breakthroughs."

Ye Fan gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, "My little breakthrough is simply unsightly compared to Brother Wang's."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, a look of confusion appearing on his face, "Brother Ye, is there something you came to see me about this time?"

As he spoke, his expression shifted, "Could it be, you came for the Sect Master?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Ye Fan's old face flushed red.

"Brother Wang, don't make fun of your brother here."

"Yue'er is not only the Sect Master now, but she has also become a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"And I am merely a Golden Core Stage Cultivator; with my aptitude, I fear I have no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime."

"We are no longer people of the same world."

Wang Jianqiang sighed upon hearing this, "Alas, I originally wanted to persuade Brother Ye, but what you say is indeed reasonable."

"To cut when one must cut, perhaps that is the best choice."

"That's right, Ye has already come to terms with it." A relaxed smile appeared on Ye Fan's face.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "The Sect Master is beautiful and so outstanding, she is indeed very likable; originally, because of Brother Ye, I never dared to have any excessive thoughts."

"Now that Brother Ye has let go, then let me take over Brother Ye's aspiration."

The smile on Ye Fan's face instantly stiffened.

What does that mean?
