Chapter 275

“Disciple thanks seniors for their care . Please accept disciple’s thanks . ” Long Chen bowed towards Ling Yun-zi and Tu Fang .

Although Tu Fang had explained it all extremely calmly, Long Chen could guess just how pent-up frustration and anger he had been in .

Because of something involving him, Tu Fang, an upright and solemn man, had been driven to such intense fury . That moved Long Chen .

“Child, we really will be too embarra.s.sed like this . ” Tu Fang was somewhat ashamed . It was true that he had fought for Long Chen, but in the end, he had still failed .

Furthermore, fighting for a Chosen disciple position for Long Chen didn’t just benefit Long Chen . Once Long Chen received a Chosen’s treatment and his cultivation base grew, he would be able to help their monastery increase their ranking .

Fighting for him would also benefit the monastery, and so Long Chen’s bow really did cause Ling Yun-zi and Tu Fang to blush .

“Long Chen, although we couldn’t get you a Chosen position, I can promise you that all the monastery’s resources will be available to you . ” Ling Yun-zi suddenly clenched his teeth .

“What?!” Tu Fang was given a fright .

“It’s no matter . If the supermonastery refuses to raise him, then we’ll do it ourselves . As for the consequences, let me accept them all,” said Ling Yun-zi resolutely .

Tu Fang’s expression changed slightly . He knew that with Ling Yun-zi’s stubbornness, nothing he said would change his mind .

“Then I’ll thank seniors again . ” Long Chen really did need the monastery’s support at this time .

He didn’t need cultivation techniques or Battle Skills, but he did need medicinal ingredients . Furthermore, he needed a huge amount of those medicinal ingredients to condense the Alioth Star .

Long Chen suddenly thought of a matter . Hesitating for a while, in the end, he took out his Soul Calming Jade and asked:

“Seniors, do you know the origin of this jade pendant?”

Seeing the jade in Long Chen’s hand, Ling Yun-zi and Tu Fang’s expressions changed . They were filled with disbelief .

Neither of them took the Soul Calming Jade from his hand . Instead, they just carefully examined it for a long time .

“This should be legendary nine-vein Soul Calming Jade . This is the first time I’ve ever seen it in person . Just where did you get this jade?” asked Ling Yun-zi .

“Wait, no, don’t tell me . What do you want to know about it?” Just as Long Chen was about to reply, Ling Yun-zi stopped him . It’d be better for him not to know that much .

Long Chen had just been hesitating whether or not he should really tell them the origin of this jade . Although he knew the two of them were trustworthy, this matter was just too major for him to tell others about .

Long Chen sighed in relief that Ling Yun-zi didn’t want to know . “Thank you sect leader . Disciple wants to know about where this Soul Calming Jade comes from and its use . ”

Ling Yun-zi nodded . “Soul Calming Jade is a very special item because it is able to accept Spiritual Strength . That allows it to have many effects .

“In terms of quality, the first thing to mention is its grade . It is first split into five categories that are very easy to distinguish . Its grade can be determined by their color . They go from white, blue, yellow, green, and then violet .

“Other than grade, there is also a matter of its texture . Soul Calming Jade is a natural treasure that is able to absorb natural energy . It can also ‘cultivate’ just like a person .

“Each time it matures to a certain point, an extra vein will appear on the jade . The more veins and the higher the grade, the greater the amount of Spiritual Strength it can endure .

“However, most Soul Calming Jade is used to make teleportation jade talismans .

“An ordinary one-vein white Soul Calming Jade has a teleportation distance of around three thousand miles . As for nine-vein Soul Calming Jade, it has a teleportation distance of twenty-seven thousand miles .

“Although I said Soul Calming Jade can be split into white, blue, yellow, green, and violet grades, I’ve only personally seen white and blue jade . The rest, I’ve only heard of .

“Blue Soul Calming Jade should have a teleportation distance of thirty thousand miles . But blue Soul Calming Jade is extremely rare . Our monastery doesn’t have it . Only the supermonastery has it .

“I’ve heard that yellow Soul Calming Jade has other uses other than teleportation, but I’m not sure about the specifics . And so of course I know nothing about your peak tier nine-vein violet Soul Calming Jade . ”

Long Chen was dumbfounded by this explanation . The supermonastery had a total of one hundred and eight monasteries . It was a huge existence that had existed for tens of thousands of years . And yet, it only had up to blue jade .

Then this violet jade his parents had left for him really was too frightening . Just who were his parents? They were actually able to use a peak tier Soul Calming Jade as just a keepsake for him .

This discovery both excited and saddened Long Chen . He was excited to have found a clue . But this clue told him that he still had a long, long way to go before finding out the secret of his origin .

Before arriving at the peak of the martial path, do not try to search for your origins .

Those words that terrifying expert had left for him echoed within his mind .

He was still far too weak . This discovery depressed him . Saying farewell to the sect leader and Tu Fang, Long Chen returned to the Heaven Earth Faction .

Tu Fang and Ling Yun-zi looked at his back as he left . Ling Yun-zi finally sighed, “No wonder Long Chen is so mature at such a young age . It seems he is carrying far more on his shoulders than we imagined . ”

Tu Fang also sighed . “That’s true . Many people have seen his powerful side, but no one knows just how much he had to pay in order to become so strong . Sect leader, are you really planning on supporting Long Chen? Aren’t you afraid of the Heavenly Dao’s karma?”

Ling Yun-zi smiled slightly . “I’m not afraid . Didn’t I already say that all the consequences will be shouldered by just me?

“I, Ling Yun-zi, have no child or wife, my master has already departed from this world, and I also have no apprentices . Who cares about the backlash of the Heavenly Daos? The most it can do is take my life . Is that so terrible?
