hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but glare at Wen Shengnan fiercely, how could she not distinguish between seniority?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, she angered Shangguan Sheng, who then made things difficult for Jiang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried to smooth things over for Jiang Fan, saying, “Big Brother Shangguan, how could his little talent catch your eye?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go sit in the hall and try some of our Green Cloud Sect’s spiritual tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Shangguan Sheng still stared at Jiang Fan, saying, “For someone who can make your niece so respectful, his talent can’t be low, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, do you dare?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can pass my test, I’ll give you this set of Blue Flame Silver Needles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a set of silver needles sealed in a jade box, in various lengths and sizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tips of the silver needles faintly flashed with a blue spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the three sets of silver needles from the Undying Doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were forged from Outer Heaven Meteorite, each one a mid-grade magical artifact, the value of the entire set wasn’t inferior by any means to a top-grade magical artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They enhanced the effectiveness of the needles, making them capable of instantly curing diseases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blue Flame Silver Needle played a significant role in the Undying Doctor’s renown across the Nine-Sect Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a divine artifact that anyone in the medical path dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan was immediately tempted and said, “Thank you for your kindness, senior, I am willing to give it a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao was shocked, Jiang Fan was too overconfident, wasn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t he realize that Shangguan Sheng was unlikely to truly give away the Blue Flame Silver Needles?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These silver needles were the most precious legacy left to him by the Undying Doctor before he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone offered tens of thousands of crystal stones to buy them, but he refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly want to give them to Jiang Fan genuinely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be setting an extremely tricky challenge to make it difficult for Jiang Fan to obtain the Blue Flame Silver Needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng slightly nodded, saying, “Very well, let me test you then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted to the round dish before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately had an idea for the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among these spiritual medicines, three are substandard, can you find them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were failed batches among these spiritual medicines?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all refined by the disciples, each personally checked by her, confirmed to have no issues before being stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just with a glance, Shangguan Sheng discovered three substandard ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart trembled silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thirty years apart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level had Shangguan Sheng’s medical expertise reached?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test he posed was challenging even for her to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone Jiang Fan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but smile bitterly; it was just as she guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng was only trying to make things difficult for Jiang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a genuine test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Fan did not seem to find it daunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared to suddenly realize, muttering, “I thought it was just my imagination, but there really are substandard ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While selecting spiritual medicines earlier, he had sensed something wrong with a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of trust in Wen Hongyao, he didn’t suspect them to be substandard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out, they really were problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Familiar with the process, he picked out the three problematic spiritual medicines, saying, “Could it be these three?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao was speechless internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t understand, he didn’t understand, but why was Jiang Fan pretending?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Jiang Fan, being young and thin-skinned, didn’t want to lose face in front of so many disciples of the Green Cloud Sect, she assumed he casually picked three to cope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over and quietly said, “It’s normal to fail the test; this is the Nine-Sect’s number one Divine Doctor’s test, it’s not shameful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she reached to return the spiritual medicines to take them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shangguan Sheng’s expression subtly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Jiang Fan with a surprised expression, he said, “You truly have some skill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the three spiritual medicines in her palm, shocked, “Big Brother Shangguan, you can’t be saying he picked out the right ones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng stared fixedly at Jiang Fan, saying, “Why not open them and find out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan actually picked out the three substandard ones from among hundreds of spiritual medicines like Shangguan Sheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bear in mind, each one was tightly wrapped in parchment paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost impossible to see any flaws from the exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly opened the first packet labeled “Nourishing Hair Ointment”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she opened it, a putrid smell wafted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, the white ointment had black spots inside, clearly moldy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan said, “It must have been due to overheating during boiling, with the exterior dried but the interior still moist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over time, it naturally got moldy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao’s face showed signs of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual medicine she’d personally checked indeed had issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately reprimanded the female disciple who had refined the medicine harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she opened the second and third packets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, they had problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both ashamed and impressed, she asked, “Jiang Fan, how did you discover them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Shangguan Sheng could see through them was due to his profound expertise in the medical field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Fan was still a junior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan casually replied, “I picked up a little knowledge and understood a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a humble attitude, in Shangguan Sheng’s eyes, it seemed like false modesty, pride, and arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s indeed only a little knowledge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng said plainly, “Then let me test you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How would you treat Elder Wen’s old ailment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan then remembered that Elder Wen suffered from heart failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time the elders were selecting disciples, failing to select Jiang Fan had caused her condition to relapse, rendering her bedridden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to take Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills to ease her condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao smiled bitterly, saying, “Big Brother Shangguan, don’t make it difficult for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know my condition, it is an incurable disease and can only be suppressed with Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, during her travels seeking famous doctors for a cure, she met Shangguan Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-flavor Heart Nourishing Pills were also given to her by Shangguan Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This condition had no cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha!” Shangguan Sheng chuckled, stroking his beard, “Previously, there was indeed no cure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in recent years, I found something while going through my master’s notes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After years of contemplation, I finally developed a pill recipe that can completely cure your heart failure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he took out a prescription and handed it to Wen Hongyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to participate in the auction and decided to visit Green Cloud Sect to give it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao’s hands trembled as she gratefully took the prescription.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moved to tears, she said, “Big Brother Shangguan, it’s touching that you’ve remembered my condition all these years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng clasped his hands behind his back, smiling, “Relieving human suffering and solving medical problems is our duty, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, developing this prescription allows me to bring solace to my master’s spirit in heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even he may not have solved this condition!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His old face radiated profound pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the sound of steady writing reached their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng turned his head and was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Jiang Fan holding a brush, writing something intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan didn’t lift his head and said, “Writing a prescription for treating heart failure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Sheng snorted with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, dismissively looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treatment method he had painstakingly developed over several years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Jiang Fan, with his limited experience, comprehend and write a treatment prescription?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Hongyao also felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that Shangguan Sheng wanted Jiang Fan to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, he was stubbornly writing it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went up to comfort him, “Don’t take it to heart, Divine Doctor Shangguan was only joking with you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she unintentionally glanced at what he was writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter if she took a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing it, her expression instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>",1405,"2026-05-29T10:41:13.953Z","2026-06-01T04:29:26.260Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffb098823eca1fb0fc0e2bad512060c1327e5aec0cc8ab3f06c64b8412278ba1","supreme-emptiness-chapter-165","supreme-emptiness-chapter-163",1839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsupreme-emptiness-cover.jpg"]
