【Mysterious Jade Pendant】 (Jade Pendant)

Introduction: A mysterious jade pendant from the Tianwu Continent, with unknown specific information.

Level: ???

What startled Jiang Han so much that he almost bit his tongue off was that the information on this jade pendant was almost identical to that of the jade pendant he had!

It seemed that the step-father had cared a lot about Jiang's mother back then; otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a precious jade pendant as a token of love.

However, this only slightly improved Jiang Han's impression of his step-father. No matter what, he had abandoned Jiang's mother, an undeniable fact!

"I must find out the reason behind it all and ask him face-to-face why he did it back then!" Jiang Han thought to himself.

Soon, Jiang Han's attention returned to the jade pendant, his mouth almost watering.

"I wonder how many Dream Coins I could get if I sell this to the system?" Jiang Han thought.

At this moment, Jiang Han's consciousness was immersed in his mind, and his thoughts naturally transmitted to the system.

"Due to the unknown level of the jade pendant, it cannot be appraised, so the system temporarily does not accept transactions to convert it into Dream Coins." The system responded almost instantly, leaving Jiang Han speechless.

What the heck, the system actually refused to buy it, which meant that Jiang Han's beautiful plan was about to fall through.

He had planned to sell the jade pendant to the system, and the Dream Coins he would receive would be astonishing in number, allowing him to exchange for some great items, maybe even a legendary one! That would be a direct leap to the top!

The dream shattered, the transition from heaven to hell was just like this.

After bypassing the skeleton mountain, Jiang Han still felt a chill in his heart. His vigilance, which had just diminished, immediately rose again. He hadn't forgotten that the seemingly kind old man was actually a murderer.

For a moment, he looked at the door of the small house, which seemed like the mouth of a vicious beast, waiting to bite him the moment he stepped in!

"Phew!"

Jiang Han took a deep breath and stepped in. At this moment, there was no other way; he could only move forward step by step.

Entering the house, he saw that Old Yun was already sitting steadily on a chair, gently stroking the white cat in his arms. Seeing Jiang Han come in, he extended a hand, gesturing for him to sit down.

Jiang Han looked around and found, to his dismay, that there was only one chair in the room, which was currently occupied by Old Yun. With no choice, he stood still.

Old Yun also noticed Jiang Han's awkwardness and realized he had made a mistake. His face turned red, and he quickly waved his hand. A milky white, jade-like chair appeared behind Jiang Han, and he chuckled softly.

"Sit down." Old Yun stroked his beard, his embarrassment gone, and he smiled, looking quite like a sage.

It had to be said that this chair was entirely white, exquisitely carved, and sitting on it gave one a feeling of defiling it.

Jiang Han sat down cautiously. In an instant, a cool sensation permeated his body, and his spirit became clear. He clearly felt that the speed of the true essence circulating in his body had nearly doubled!

He was shocked by these changes. What was this chair made of? If he practiced on it, it would definitely be twice as effective!

Indeed, comparing people to people could be infuriating!

Seeing Jiang Han's shock, Old Yun chuckled and said, "This chair is carved from a single piece of White Spirit Jade and then inscribed with runes. Since White Spirit Jade itself aids cultivation, your feeling is understandable."

"Such a good chair, would you give it to me?" Jiang Han murmured, gripping the armrests of the chair.

Old Yun was slightly taken aback but then laughed lightly, "Why not? It's just a chair."

Jiang Han was stunned. He had just blurted it out without thinking, never expecting Old Yun to actually be willing to give him the chair. He was sure that if this White Spirit Jade chair were taken out, it would be worth a fortune!

"Did I hear that right? You said... give it to me?" Jiang Han hesitated, suspecting he had heard wrong.

"If I didn't say it wrong, you shouldn't have heard it wrong," Old Yun laughed.

Jiang Han was momentarily dazed. This was a huge windfall, leaving him dizzy. This wasn't just a trinket; it was a treasure!

This chair was even more precious than a Level 6 Beast Crystal!

"Ouch, it hurts..." Jiang Han rubbed his arm, which he had pinched purple, and suddenly shouted, "Damn, it's real, I'm not dreaming!"

Old Yun frowned, seemingly displeased with Jiang Han's use of "laozi" (a vulgar term for "I"), but then he chuckled and shook his head, not minding it.

"Old Yun, you are truly the most benevolent person in the world, unmatched by anyone in history! You..." Jiang Han showered him with flattery, his mouth spewing saliva.

"Stop!" Old Yun's face turned black, and he lightly shouted to stop Jiang Han's flattery, "I can't bear to hear such words! Besides, the White Spirit Jade chair is indeed beneficial for cultivation, but it only helps up to the Martial King level. After that, its effects become negligible. So, you don't need to think it's so precious; it will eventually become obsolete."

Jiang Han's mouth twitched. Being beneficial up to the Martial King level was already something he could only dream of!

Jiang Han believed that if he auctioned it, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price. The major sects and royal families would not let go of this White Spirit Jade chair. Although high-level cultivators might not need it, talented disciples would desperately need it!

Of course, Jiang Han wasn't foolish enough to auction it. Such a good thing should be used by himself. Even if he didn't need it in the future, he could sell it to the system!

At this moment, Jiang Han felt the same as when Xiao Bai had obtained the Level 6 Beast Crystal. If anyone dared to take it from him, he would definitely beat them until their mother wouldn't recognize them!

"Alright, alright, don't get too excited. No one will take it from you," Old Yun laughed, "How can you achieve great things without self-control?"

"Okay, okay," Jiang Han hurriedly replied, but his hands still clung to the armrests.

Old Yun shook his head helplessly and didn't dwell on the topic. He looked at Jiang Han curiously and asked, "Who is your master? To entrust you with so many treasures, he must be quite fond of you, right? To be honest, I've wandered the continent for decades and have never heard of such unique treasures. Could he be a reclusive expert?"

Jiang Han didn't even think before replying, "I've never seen my master's true appearance. To me, my master can do anything, and he can produce all kinds of treasures at will. He's just a bit stingy, always making me do tasks to get things, or he won't give them to me!"

"Back then, to get that laser sword and that armor, I suffered greatly, being thrown into the Beast Ridge to fight beasts, barely surviving several times..." Jiang Han spoke with tears in his eyes, making people feel sad just by hearing it.

Old Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. In his view, Jiang Han's words had some truth, but there was also a lot of exaggeration. He wouldn't believe everything.

"Alright, I guess your master doesn't want to be known. I won't force it," Old Yun shook his head and then looked at Jiang Han with some doubt, "I feel that you seem to be afraid of me. Why?"

Just as he had dodged the question about his master, a more shocking one came. Jiang Han's heart raced, and he didn't know how to respond.

He couldn't say, "I saw you kill so many people and pile up the skulls, anyone would be scared, let alone me, a young kid!"

"Speak up, no matter what the reason, I won't blame you," Old Yun said, seeing Jiang Han's hesitation.

"Uh..." Jiang Han dared not lie, as Old Yun would see through it. After much deliberation, he mumbled, "I'm afraid you... might kill me."

Old Yun was taken aback and then laughed helplessly, "I've already said I won't kill you, why are you still worried?"

Then he seemed to understand something and said, "You're afraid because of the pile of skulls, right?"

"Cough, yes..." Jiang Han said cautiously, afraid that Old Yun might suddenly go crazy and slap him to death.

"You have nothing to worry about," Old Yun smiled and waved his hand, "Those people weren't killed by me, but by someone else. I'm here to investigate the matter."

"Phew!"

Jiang Han almost spat out blood, shouting in his heart, "Grandpa, you should have told me earlier! I've been worried for so long, almost scared to death!"

"I'm dizzy, Old Yun, you should have told me earlier. I've been on edge the whole time," Jiang Han relaxed, slouching in the chair, feeling weak.

Old Yun looked at Jiang Han's sudden change and was speechless. But soon, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Kid, do you want to meet the scoundrel who made you so afraid for so long?"
