Chapter 21: The Primordial Savage Snake, Heavenly Symbol Jade Armor

  " Ninth Master?" Chu Cheng was puzzled in his heart.

  "Yes, Ninth Prince. In this generation of Chu kings, there are nine sons, known as the Nine Princes of the Royal Family. The Imperial Extreme Classic is the highest inheritance of the royal family, and every generation of Chu kings must cultivate the mysterious skills. Only by cultivating the Imperial Extreme Classic can one be considered the orthodox heir to the throne. However, not all nine princes have been recognized or allowed to cultivate the Imperial Extreme Classic. Ninth Prince happens to be one of them."

  The Huang Ji Jing Shi Shu is hidden in the treasure of the Chu State, controlled by Tian Lao. To cultivate the Huang Ji Jing Shi Shu, one must obtain permission from Tian Lao to be qualified for practice.

  Among the nine princes, only the Crown Prince, Second Prince, Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince were recognized by Tian Lao.

  This is a top-secret matter of the royal family, and only a handful of people know about it, aside from the ruler. Chu Tian Ge and Chu Cheng just happen to be two of them.

  "The winds of change are blowing in the imperial capital, and the King of Chu is trapped in Great Qin. The so-called 'Only by cultivating the Imperial Extreme Scripture can one be considered a legitimate ruler' is just nonsense, not very useful." Chu Cheng furrowed his brow.

  The King of Chu is trapped in Great Qin, this is also a top secret of the royal family, and there are no more than ten people who know about it.

  "That's right. But this also proves that the Ninth Master is not simple. This time he came to serve as the chief judge, in fact, he came to lobby us a few. Although I didn't express my attitude, Chu Tianjiao or Xiang Jia, may have already colluded with him!" Chu Tiange said.

  "Jiū Gōng Zǐ... Does he have such ability?"

  "Yes! I suspect that the fifth-ranked Ling Xi thief, is the one he's in charge of! If possible, you can get along with him, it will be useful." Chu Tian Ge's eyebrows were tightly locked: "The Butterfly Thief girl you caught, came to our house a few days ago to steal things."

  "Steal something? Her? She's still got a thief's nature. But wanting to steal from Bian Huang Fu is simply delusional." Chu Cheng had no doubt about the defensive capabilities of Bian Huang Fu, which was far beyond what Shan Yang Auction House could compare to.

  "No, she stole a lot of things." Chu Tiange said: "I deliberately let her steal. Butterfly thief, mysterious and unpredictable, it's better not to provoke her. So I let her do whatever she wants, lest I provoke trouble at this critical moment."

  "How dare she! It seems I need to teach her a good lesson." Chu Cheng's face was tinged with anger.

  "She's learned her lesson." Chu Tian Ge smiled and said, "After that, she went to the Nanhuang Fu again and almost got beaten to death by the enraged Chu Tian Jiao. At a critical moment, a mysterious person appeared and rescued her."

  "Saved? Mysterious person?" Chu Cheng was taken aback.

  Recently, the mountain city of Yang has all sorts of people, with dragons and snakes mixed together. Who knows where these mysterious people come from? They can rescue someone from under Chu Tianjiao's nose, they must be at least at the Five Elements Realm. Maybe it's one of the twelve consorts of Wang San, the Butterfly Thief King.

  "It's settled, don't bother with this matter. That Butterfly Thief girl is not simple, she seems to have a very high status among the Butterfly Thieves, otherwise she wouldn't have had the crystal card of the Infinite Treasure Pavilion. Now that the crystal card has fallen into your hands, she will come back looking for you sooner or later." Chu Tian Ge waved his hand: "There's another thing, Sun Yan sent someone to invite you."

  "Sun Yan? Jin Yaocheng's Sun family's Sun Yan?" Chu Cheng's expression was strange: "What did he invite me to do?"

  "I don't know." Chu Tian Ge spread his hands: "You'll know if you go."

  Chu Cheng was speechless, but suddenly remembered something and smiled with a flushed face: "Old man, you're about to go into seclusion, what's going on with the Eastern family... that girl..."

  In-laws, forever the pain in Chu Cheng's heart!

  "Don't even think about it!" Chu Tian Ge's eyes widened: "Unless..."

  "What if?"

  "Unless you can get first place in the Young Heroes' League!"

  Sun Yan lived in a place just next to the Shanyang Auction House, not far from here.

  This is a quiet place, deep mansion, strong patrols everywhere.

  Chu City was led to the study, and Sun Yan surprisingly had been waiting at the door.

  "Second Master Chu has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar, forgive me, forgive me!" Sun Yan shook his folding fan with a smile all over his face.

  "Master Sun is indeed a talented and well-bred young man! I, Chu Cheng, have arrived late, please forgive me!" Chu Cheng hastily returned the courtesy.

  "Haha, come on in, please!" Sun Yan led Chu Cheng into the study room.

  The study is not large, but it has everything one needs, and it's quite elegant. It can be seen that Sun Yan is a very cultivated person.

  "I don't know why Master Sun has come to find me, what instructions do you have?" Chu Cheng couldn't fathom Sun Yan's intentions, so he simply asked straightforwardly.

  "Chu Er Shao Ye is really direct." Sun Yan was taken aback, and then said seriously: "I have received accurate information that the red-haired devil, Red William, has been hired by Chu Tian Jiao with a large sum of money to assassinate you in five days!"

  "Red William? Him? Chu Tianjiao invited him? It's also very normal, he is a man who wants money but not his life." Chu Cheng nodded.

  Although Bian Huangfu's intelligence means are powerful, the death of Jiu Shu's soul is silent and inaudible. However, it's not omnipotent after all, and many messages can't be heard, which is also normal.

  But Sun Yan unexpectedly found out about it, and things won't be easy anymore.

  "Don't tell lies in front of a real person." Sun Yan said, "This time I came to Shanyang City, not for the Life Jade Box, but for Red William! Red William has been burning, killing, looting and plundering for thirty years, accumulating a large amount of wealth. And among them, there is also a map related to the Qingming ruins!"

  "Remains of the Azure Abyss?" Chu Cheng's heart thumped loudly in his chest.

  Could it be the treasure map of the Azure Abyss's relic?

  "Red William wants to kill you, but I want to team up with you and turn the tables on him! Sun Yan said: "Moreover, there's another benefit - we can also get rid of Xiang Zixuan at the same time! I know your family doesn't get along with the Xiangs, this is a great opportunity, and afterwards we can even frame Red William for it!"

  "This is a good idea, but Chucheng didn't believe it immediately: 'How can I trust you? Maybe you are in cahoots with the Xiang family to kill Red William and get rid of me at the same time. Or maybe you are in league with Red William, plotting against me. Both possibilities exist.'"

  "You're overthinking." Sun Yan said: "I can make a blood oath with you, whoever breaks it will suffer the backlash of their own blood, and die without a place to be buried."

  A Blood Oath is a wonderful oath, sworn with one's own blood essence. Once broken, the blood essence will boil over, the seven orifices will bleed, the flesh body will explode, and there will be no place to bury the corpse.

  "Alright, let's make a blood oath." Chu Cheng nodded: "I believe in Master Sun's credibility."

  After discussing with Sun Yan, Chu Cheng returned to Bian Huang Fu, entered the cultivation secret room, and took out the Super Synthesis Book.

  "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Super Synthesis Book, quickly reveal its power!"

  A flash of white light passed by, and the Super Synthesis Book was in hand.

  Super Synthesis Book, which not only has synthesis ability but also "deduction" ability, can analyze substances, deduce their properties and synthesis formulas.

  With a flip of his hand, a flash of blood light appeared, and an ancient snake egg materialized in his palm.

  Chu Cheng planned to use the Super Synthesis Book to analyze this ancient snake egg.

  With both hands raised upwards, the mysterious energy surged forth, lifting up the ancient snake egg and the Super Synthesis Book. The Super Synthesis Book emitted a soft white glow, enveloping the ancient snake egg.

  A strong suction force drew Chu Cheng's Xuanli into the pages of the book. On the second page, at the very top, an outline of a snake egg appeared.

  Half an hour later...

  Chu City collapsed to the ground, his entire body's Xuanli completely exhausted. And on the second page, that snake egg was clearly visible.

  Chu City gazed at the snake egg, and a piece of information came over.

  "An ancient barbaric snake egg, having gone through tens of thousands of years without hatching, its shell has already petrified. The internal mysterious power is withered and life is about to die out. Hatching method: Use endless mysterious power to nourish it, wait until the snake egg revives, then place it in fresh snake blood to hatch."

  This is the ancient barbaric snake's egg, although it has withered, there is still a way to hatch it. However, the Super Synthesis Book does not provide the synthesis formula, and it is unknown whether it cannot be synthesized or for other reasons.

  Ancient Savage Serpent, with an extremely strong life force. It's said that once born, it possesses a drop of blood essence in its heart, comparable to a three-realm Transcendent being.

  The ancient barbaric snake grows extremely fast, as long as it is provided with enough blood food, it can rapidly advance, grow to a hundred feet in length, open up mountains and seas, comparable to the strong in the mountain and sea realm.

  "Good stuff... unfortunately, it's not so good at hatching!" Chucheng put away the snake egg and took out that jade shell.

  Undoubtedly, this jade armor is more mysterious and precious than the snake egg.

  He sat in meditation, waiting for his spiritual energy to be full, then he began to use the Super Synthesis Book to analyze the Jade Armor.

  However, in an instant, his entire body's Xuanli was absorbed by the Super Synthesis Book, almost sucking him dry.

  The entire jade armor is only a vague outline on the second page.

  "I don't believe it." Chu Cheng continued to meditate.

  He spent the next four days here.

  The fifth day, early morning, Pinnacle Academy's competition arena.

  "Hmph, Chu City is getting more and more arrogant. They haven't even arrived yet, it's as if they don't put us in their eyes, let alone the Ninth Young Master! I think he deserves to be punished, his cultivation should be crippled!" Xiang Zixuan said with a cold and proud face.

  He is the third son of Tianling, only fifteen years old this year, and has already broken through three realms of Mortal. His innate talent is not inferior to that of his two elder brothers.

  He was originally the youngest, who would have thought that a Huang Tian Cang and a Chu Cheng appeared, and they were both younger than him. Isn't this saying that he isn't the most talented? How can he bear it?

  Furthermore, due to his poor relationship with Zhao Jian and Bian Guang, he suggested abolishing Chu City as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "I'll destroy you first! You're too arrogant, Zixuan, and you'll die a death without a burial ground!" Dongfang Ye's eyes blazed with anger as he saw Zixuan humiliate his sworn brother.

  "Dongfang Ye, you're so arrogant! Your whole family is good at alchemy, but instead of focusing on that, you participate in the Young Heroes Conference! Twenty years ago, your father lost to mine, and twenty years later, you'll definitely lose to me too!" Xiang Zixuan said with utmost pride.

  Young Heroes List, Xiang Tianling third, Dongfang Sanyi fourth. Twenty years ago, Dongfang Sanyi and Xiang Tianling fought each other, losing by a single move.

  "To Zixuan, believe it or not, I'll destroy you right now!" Dongfang Ye's aura suddenly burst forth, his vital energy surging like a pillar, resembling an ancient giant ape, towering over the heavens and standing on the earth.

  "This aura... two drops of Blood Essence! No wonder you're so arrogant! But don't get too cocky, you're sixteen this year, I'm fifteen, and I've already condensed one drop of Blood Essence. I'll be condensing the second drop soon, and you still can't compare to me!" Zi Xuan's aura slightly weakened.

  "Alright, stop arguing. It's just a moment, it won't make a difference." The Ninth Master finally spoke up. As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire room fell silent, nodding in agreement.
