Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Kylin Jade

”Oh?” Su Yang looked towards Fang Wenzhong, ”What makes you say that?”

”Alas!” Fang Wenzhong sighed and said, ”The person I just told you about took a fancy to our family heirloom, intended to buy it, and was refused by us. Later, he broke into our Fang Family home and was discovered by us, which led to some disputes.”

”The matters of our Fang Family were likely meddled with by this person. If he could do it once, who knows if he might do it a second or third time. As long as this object remains with our Fang Family, I fear this person will always have his eyes on us.”

Su Yang slightly furrowed his brows, ”What exactly is it? Why is this person so persistent?”

Fang Wenzhong took out a small wooden box from his person, ”This is it.”

Su Yang opened the wooden box, and saw inside a palm-sized, entirely crimson jade. The jade was carved into the shape of a Kylin, flames burning upon its body, and one could feel a scorching heat upon touch, clearly not an ordinary item.

”This... This is Kirin Jade!” Su Yang’s eyes widened. Kirin Jade was recorded in the Destiny’s Tome, and it was a type of Beast God Jade.

Beast God Jade is an incredibly rare type of jade, formed over many years soaked in the blood of a divine beast. Since divine beasts are extremely rare, wounding them and drawing blood is even more difficult. Capturing the blood of a wounded divine beast upon a piece of jade is even rarer.

Moreover, the most crucial point of the Beast God Jade is its potential for growth. The power of the Beast God Jade can grow in tandem with the strength of the divine beast.

Typically, a divine beast possesses, at the least, the pinnacle strength of the Yellow Grade; otherwise, it wouldn’t be deemed divine. Hence, Beast God Jades also generally contain the utmost power of the Yellow Grade.

And when a divine beast progresses to the Profound Level Realm, the Beast God Jade, too, grows to the Mystical Realm. If the divine beast further advances to the Earth Rank or even the higher Heavenly Grade Realm, then the Beast God Jade can correspondingly reach the Earth and Heavenly Levels.

Such a jade, for a cultivator, is something they can only dream of. After all, once the divine beast grows, this jade could reach a realm so astonishing!

”Master Su recognizes this jade?” Fang Wenzhong asked in surprise.

Su Yang nodded, ”A very rare jade, it has miraculous effects for cultivators.”

”Cultivators!?” Fang Wenzhong couldn’t help but be shocked, lamented, ”Our family has had this jade for over a hundred years, and yet no one knew what it was. It’s been in our family for a hundred years, and we’ve never found any use for it. We only kept it because it seemed magical, so we kept it as a family heirloom.”

”I never expected that it would be something used by cultivators. Alas, it was we who held back this jade.” Fang Wenzhong sighed deeply, then suddenly handed the wooden box to Su Yang, ”Master Su, we cannot let this jade be neglected any longer. The world’s treasures should belong to those who are worthy. We will give this jade to Master Su as a token of our gratitude!”

”Isn’t this a bit too precious?” Su Yang said. He was actually very tempted; he needed this jade.

”Without Master Su, our Fang Family would likely no longer exist,” Fang Wenzhong said, ”This jade is of no use to our Fang Family, and instead, it might even bring us disaster. Take it, Master Su, you would be doing our Fang Family a favor!”

”In that case, I will not refuse any further.” Su Yang accepted the Kirin Jade and declared loudly, ”From now on, the Fang Family shall be under my protection. As long as you do not betray me or commit heinous acts against heaven and earth, I, Su Yang, shall ensure that non can stand against the Fang Family!”

Fang Wenzhong was overjoyed, repeating his thanks, ”Many thanks, Master Su! Many thanks, Master Su!”

...

Returning home, Su Yang greeted Qi’er and then hurried upstairs without waiting.

He took out the Kirin Jade and slowly began to channel his power into it, testing the strength of the Kirin Jade.

As soon as his power entered, Su Yang felt a potent heat, rapidly surging towards him. This burning sensation seemed as if it could engulf him in an instant.

Fortunately, Su Yang was prepared. The Nine Cold Jade Sword flew out swiftly, its powerful chill suppressing the scorching heat of the Kirin Jade. It was only then that the heat waves reluctantly subsided.

Had it not been for the Nine Cold Jade, Su Yang might very well have been burned to a crisp.

From that brief contact, Su Yang also sensed that the power of the Kirin Jade was roughly at the Spirit Tranquility Realm. In other words, this Fire Kirin’s strength was at the Spirit Tranquility Realm, or perhaps slightly stronger, but definitely not yet at the Profound Level.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. With the Spirit Tranquility Realm, he could control the Kirin Jade with the help of the Nine Cold Jade.

He placed the Kirin Jade properly and first used Devouring the Heavens to absorb some power from the Nine Cold Jade. Then, he channeled his power into the Kirin Jade once more.

Feeling the intrusion of external power, the Kirin Jade seemed to be enraged, its heat waves quickly lashing out.

Su Yang rapidly suppressed it with the power of the Nine Cold Jade, scattering the heat wave. The remaining heat quickly retreated, showing fear towards the power of the Nine Cold Jade.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Yang swiftly poured all his power into the Kirin Jade, occupying the entire gem.

The heat wave, suppressed by the Nine Cold Jade, gradually transformed into a Fire Kirin the size of a fingertip. It glared at Su Yang, huffing in indignation, yet it dared not voice its anger.

Su Yang smiled faintly as he approached the Fire Kirin, starting to connect his own power with it.

After a few attempts, the Fire Kirin was uncooperative. However, when Su Yang pressed it with the power of the Nine Cold Jade again, the Fire Kirin capitulated and connected with him.

Su Yang silently cultivated the Secret Technique from Destiny’s Tome, taking a full half-hour to completely control the power of the Kirin Jade.

”Phew!” Su Yang let out a long breath; this matter was finally accomplished.

With a casual flick, the Kirin Jade fell into his palm, looking like a pretty ornament. Su Yang carried it on his person, keeping it separate from the Nine Cold Jade, so that the latter’s power wouldn’t invade the Kirin Jade.

Then, Su Yang released several Purple Lightning Divine Thunders from his body. These were forged from the excess power he had absorbed, and now that he had the Kirin Jade, the Purple Lightning Divine Thunders were not of much significance to him anymore.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yang picked up several jade stones from the table and channeled the Purple Lightning Divine Thunders into them.

These jade stones were collected by Ling Zi for Su Yang. Su Yang had wanted to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, but the quality of these stones was not suitable. However, to contain several Purple Lightning Divine Thunders, they were sufficient.

These jade stones containing Purple Lightning Divine Thunders were like bombs, exploding with formidable power when thrown. Su Yang planned to give a few to his family and friends, so they could protect themselves in case of danger!
