”The Golden Goose Cup?”

Hearing the name, even Junior Leopard could not help being excited.

After being in this world for so many years, he was very familiar with the allusions in Jianghu. Most of them were too exaggerated to be credible, and a lot of them were just as incredible as fantasy novels. However, some of them were real, such as the Golden Goose Cup.

The origin of the Golden Goose Cup was not known, but it was well-known for its function.

That was that an ordinary person's life could be prolonged for 100 years, as long as he drank a cup of wine from the Golden Goose Cup!

If a man who knew martial arts and had practiced Internal Qi had drank the wine, it would not only prolong his life for 100 years, but also make a wonderful change in the nature of his Internal Strength, making his Internal Qi produce a kind of intelligence!

The intelligence from the Internal Qi!

This was a fabled phase, different from the unique property produced from Internal Qi. The generating of the unique property was because when your Internal Qi had reached Level Seven, it was increasingly connected with your body and then was influenced by your body. Generally speaking, as long as your Internal Qi had reached Level Seven, it could produce the property.

Intelligence on the other hand was different.

It required a lucky chance. Actually, in the Jianghu rumors, the lucky chance laid in the Golden Goose Cup.

Pour wine or water into the Golden Goose Cup, let it soak for an hour and then it would become amber, whether it was wine or water. Once you drink it, your life would be prolonged for 100 years. Likewise, your Internal Qi would generate powerful intelligence.

However, there were limits for the use of the Golden Goose Cup.

A man could only use it once in his life.

Besides, the Golden Goose Cup could only generate three cups of such amazing wine every 100 years. In other words, after three times, it would be 100 years before the Golden Goose Cup could be reused.

Why did people say that the Golden Goose Cup showed up?

Because its function was too amazing, and the number of use was too limited.

It could only be used three times in 100 years. How about after three times?

You could only put it away as a decoration. But could such a thing really be a decoration?

No!

Ordinary people could not wait for 100 years, but the people in the martial arts world could, especially the experts whose martial arts skills had reached the Tendon-Changing Realm, who lived much longer than ordinary people. An expert of Level Nine could live for 300 years, so in his lifetime, the Golden Goose Cup would work at least twice.

Who didn't want to live a few more years in the world?

In particular, experts whose cultivation had practiced to the Tendon-Changing Realm, if you gave them another 100 years and let their Internal Qi fill with intelligence; they would have the opportunity to elevate their cultivation to the Mysterious Realm. In that case, their lives would be extended by 200 years to 500 years.

That was too wonderful. Maybe even a saint couldn't resist the temptation, let alone people in the martial arts world.

Besides these people in the martial arts world, there was a man who was most eager for it.

Who?

The Emperor!

However, unfortunately, in history, no emperor had the fortune to use the Golden Goose Cup. Not a single one.

It was because if you wanted to compete for the Golden Goose Cup, you could only rely on your martial arts, but most of the emperors did not know martial arts. Even if he had practiced martial arts, he would not be very powerful in it. Therefore, he could only rely on his subordinates, but how many people could resist the lure of the Golden Goose Cup in this world?

History proved that there was none!

The emperors sent the imperial court martial experts to snatch the Golden Goose Cup, but they either failed or disappeared. No one could ever really bring it to the emperor.

Every time the Golden Goose Cup appeared, there would be a bloody war in Jianghu. In the beginning, it appeared frequently, but later on, it appeared less and less. Because everyone knew that they could not tell anyone after they got it, but could only hide it. After they got the benefits, they would send the treasure out to avoid disaster for themselves and their families.

In this way, the Golden Goose Cup appeared in the martial arts world less and less. It was basically every 100 years or so. Even then it was mostly unusable, because it had been used before it was sent out.

Even so, its emergence would still cause a bruising contest, because each person could use the Golden Goose Cup only once in a lifetime, and not many people would share it with others. To avoid trouble, most people would like to throw it away as if it were a tricky thing after they used it. Therefore, in many cases, when the Golden Goose Cup showed up, it could be used once or twice.

In addition, each time it appeared, the competition was extremely fierce. The course was very short, because no one would be willing to disclose such information. When people got it, they tended to find a place, fill it with water and wait for an hour. After drinking a mouthful, they would think of giving the cup away.

Why would people want to give it away instead of throwing it away?

Because they were afraid of being suspicious!

There was nothing like an absolute secret. Even if no one really knew that you once got the Golden Goose Cup, you would certainly use your Internal Qi in Jianghu in the future, which, full of intelligence, was quite different when compared to others. Thus, could not the others find it?

Therefore, people would think that the Golden Goose Cup was in your hands, even if you did not have it any more. Then it would invite a disaster.

Thus, you might as well try to put the Golden Goose Cup in the light and let the men in Jianghu compete for it. Whoever got it finally had nothing to do with you.

It had been 150 years since the Golden Goose Cup showed up last time.

The Golden Goose Cup had become a legend in Jianghu. Even the Leaders and Elders of the prestigious sects and schools in the martial arts world had never thought of getting it, not to mention Junior Leopard. Gradually, in the entire martial arts world, the issue of getting the Golden Goose Cup became a lucky chance.

As the saying goes, the natural fetish belongs to predestined one.

If it was not meant to be yours, you would not get it, no matter how high your cultivation was. On the contrary, if it was meant to be yours, you would get it, no matter how low your cultivation was.

The question lay in your destiny and its fate.

Li Jianxin was a man of destiny. It was just that the fate of him and the Golden Goose Cup was too shallow.

After he got the Golden Goose Cup, he was found out before he could warm it up.

What if someone chased after him?

Run away!

Where should he run to?

Run to the mountains. As long as he could shake them off an hour, he would succeed. It was a pity that he overestimated his Lightness Skill too much.

He was blocked in this place.

”Li Jianxin, don't be silly. Just hand over the Golden Goose Cup!”

Seeing Li Jianxin raising his parcel high, Huang Deguang's face grew darker, ”Do you want to become a public enemy of the martial arts world?”

”Damn it! My life is worth nothing. I'll have to die, whether you catch me or I break it, if I can't use it, nor can you. I'm not gonna make you happy!” The muscles on Li Jianxin's face twitched and he showed a very resolute look.

”Well, Li Jianxin, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over. As long as you hand over the Golden Goose Cup, we promise not to kill you. What do you think?” This time the speaker was an old man. He looked kind, graceful and had an elder's demeanor. But when he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Jianxin's cyan parcel, which showed his greed.

”Hum, it's not that easy. There are two other chances to use the Golden Goose Cup. When I'm done with it, I'll naturally hand over it!”

”Li Jianxin, stop dreaming!” Hearing Li Jianxin's words, Huang Deguang was in a hurry, ”Such a treasure should belong to a man of virtue. Who are you? That you got it was just a fluke! That was lucky enough, but you want to keep it!” Before he had finished his words, his face suddenly stiffened. His mouth that kept talking just now was still open, but he could not say a word. The spirit of his eyes died away and the strength of his body began to fade away as well. He fell to the ground with a splash and died quietly.

”This... Who?”

After two breaths of eerie silence, the crowd that laid siege to Li Jianxin finally reacted. Looking at Huang Deguang who died without any sound, everyone could not help but step back two steps with heart tremble. This was a good opportunity for Li Jianxin who was surrounded. As soon as he saw the crowd retreating, he was ready to break the siege. Unexpectedly, he had just raised his saber when it froze in the air. He was as lifeless as Huang Deguang was. His body fell to the ground along with the parcel that held the Golden Goose Cup.
