Chapter 9 The Life-saving Jade Pendant!

“Since no one offered a higher price, may I have this item?” Chu Xun stood up and walked towards Hong Ling.

Hong Ling was not stupid and hastily gave him the Warm Jade.

Chu Xun received the Warm Jade. Then he took out a card from his pocket and gave it to Hong Ling. ” 20 million yuan is in this card, and Chen Hanlong will pay the rest 1 million yuan.”

“Mr. Chu, how can I let you pay? I will pay all the money.” Chen Hanlong said anxiously.

“Don’t Bother. Just give her the rest 1 million yuan!” Chu Xun said casually, “I don’t really like to owe others favors. Thank you for running this errand. Here is a small gift for you.”

Then Chu Xun slashed the Warm Jade with his fingers and cut a piece from it. Its surface was smooth and flat as if it was cut by a sharp blade.

Ignoring everyone’s horrified looks, Chu Xun slashed again in the air and divided the jade piece into four smaller pieces.

Chu Xun picked up one of them and moved his finger across its surface. For a while, splinters of the jade flew all over.

Before long, Chu Xun stopped. After checking the small piece of jade, he asked Chen Hanlong, “Are you carrying a gun?”

Stupefied, Chen Hanlong nodded. Hurriedly, he pulled a gun from his waist and handed it over to Chu Xun.

“Take it and step back!” Chu Xun threw the jade pendant to Chen Hanlong.

Immediately after Chen Hanlong took the jade pendant in hand, he felt a flow of warmth. Though in the hot summer, Chen Hanlong felt as if he were in the comfortable spring, and even the sweat on his forehead dried. He was startled for a while. Then in a hurry, he took a few steps back and stared at Chu Xun blankly.ƒ?ℯ???????e?. ???

“Don’t be afraid!”

After that, Chu Xun pointed the gun at Chen Hanlong.

“Bang!”

Then there came a gunshot. Chen Hanlong was scared out of his wits and closed his eyes really tight. He didn’t understand why Chu Xun wanted to kill him.

The others were also scared by the gunshot. Nobody had thought that Chu Xun would shoot Chen Hanlong.

But right after that, they were struck dumb, trembling with fear.

The bullet came straight at Chen Hanlong. However, waves of air before him suddenly rippled and blocked it outside of his body.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds passed. Only after a tinkle, Chen Hanlong abruptly opened his eyes and only saw a bullet jumping a few times before it finally stopped at his feet.

“Well...” He felt puzzled. As his eyes were closed just now, he did not see what had happened.

“Bang, bang...!”

Several gunshots followed. Chu Xun fired at him again.

This time, Chen Hanlong didn’t even have time to close his eyes, but he saw everything clearly. The bullets targeting him were stopped by the sudden ripples of air in front of him. With a glazed stare, he widened his eyes, and his body shivered all of a sudden. Finally, he understood what Chu Xun had given him—one life!

Chen Hanlong rushed forward and knelt before Chu Xun with a thud. Just when he was about to speak, the jade pendant in his hand abruptly burst into pieces.

Chu Xun picked up another jade pendant, his fingers dancing on it. In a little while, he finished carving a small formation and threw it to Chen Hanlong. “Wear it next to your skin. It can protect you from bitter cold or torrid heat, and even it can save your life for one time. Even if a large van plows into you at high speed, you can still stay safe and sound. However, you can only use the jade pendant once.”

“Thank you, Sir. Thank you...”

With excitement, Chen Hanlong blushed scarlet, kowtowing to Chu Xun repeatedly while muttering incoherent words.

The others were petrified already. What did they saw just now? Carrying with a jade pendant, Chen Hanlong could even survive from a series of shootings. It meant that he got an extra life.

The scene had scared Boss Zhou silly. At this time, he finally understood what a foolish mistake he had made. Immediately, he knelt down in fear, repeatedly kowtowing to Chu Xun and begging for mercy. “Please spare my life, Immortal. I am willing to pay everything to make up for my stupidity. Please forgive me this time, Immortal.”

Holding the jade pendant, Chen Hanlong, who was smirking on one side, suddenly leaped up with a big stride and kicked Boss Zhou to the ground. Then he raised his fists and started to punch him violently.

“Fu*king blockhead, you dared to offend Mr. Chu! I’ll beat you to death.”

Chen Hanlong was initially a gangster. Though he seldom beat others himself in the past few years, his punches were not something that the smooth-skinned Boss Zhou could bear. Now when Chen Hanlong beat him up, he gave out heartrending cries.

“F*ck, how dare you call Mr. Chu little brother? Who the h*ll do you think you are? B*stard, from now on, your transportation team will never pass through my territory safely...”

Chen Hanlong was cursing, punching, and kicking. After a while, Boss Zhou was beaten black and blue.

“D*mn, Mr. Chu has not only a striking appearance but also refined temperament. I have already known that such a big shot like him can never be short of money. You d*mned snobbish!” Li Tian abused. At this time, he no longer cared about his elegant appearance. He rushed up and gave Boss Zhou a few kicks.

For a while, the others were stunned. But they were not fools. Soon, one after another, they joined Chen Hanlong and Li Tian in beating up this extremely unlucky man.

“As Mr. Chu entered the door, I knew immediately that he must be someone as extraordinary as an Immortal. If you old dog hadn’t hyped this thing up, I would never have been disrespectful to Mr. Chu. You bewitched idiot, I will beat you to death.”

“Since Mr. Chu stood before us, his natural dignity and sense of power instantly captured my heart. But you old thing even dared to bark at him. A sightless fool who has no idea of death!”

With both beating and cursing, the bunch of people punched and kicked Boss Zhou like hell. Instead, Chen Hanlong stopped because he was pushed aside by them and could no longer get in.

But how could Chen Hanlong just stand by and watch? It was a great chance for him to show his loyalty. Rolling up his sleeves, he forced his way in again and hit Boss Zhou hard with both his hands and feet.

Hong Ling now looked as dumb as a piece of wood. Of course, she also wanted to squeeze in and gave Boss Zhou a few kicks. But when she looked at these heated big men who seemed to have taken aphrodisiac, she could not help feeling very scared. After thinking for a while, she decided to forget about it.

At first, the poor Boss Zhou could still moan a little. But in the end, he rolled his eyes twice and passed out completely.

Chen Hanlong and others subconsciously stopped. The seven or eight people were panting. It seemed that they had made every effort to beat Boss Zhou.

“Sir, do you want to...”

Chen Hanlong made a gesture of cutting the neck.

The others couldn’t help taking two steps back. “Chen Hanlong is ruthless enough. We have already knocked Boss Zhou out. But he wants to take his life!”

Everyone fixed their eyes on Chu Xun.

Chu Xun shook his head. Though Boss Zhou had deliberately made this thing today difficult for him, he did not go beyond Chu Xun’s bottom line. Since he had been punished, Chu Xun decided to spare his life!

Then Chu Xun lifted his gaze from Boss Zhou to the others.

All of a sudden, each one of them became as mute as a fish. When Boss Zhou caused Chu Xun the trouble, they fanned the flames. Was Chu Xun going to get even with them for that now?

Just when everyone was overwhelmed with anxiety, Chu Xun waved his hand, turned around, and left.

A few minutes later, when the few people were sure that Chu Xun would not come back, they finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

“Chairman Chen, Mr. Chu...”

Before Li Tian could finish his words, Chen Hanlong interrupted him. “Chairman Li, for the sake of our old friendship, I solemnly remind you that if Mr. Chu doesn’t want to say anything about himself, you’d better not inquire about it. Otherwise, no one in this world can protect you.”

Seeing Chen Hanlong’s extremely serious look, Li Tian could not help swallowing hard, curiously.

“Besides, I have to warn all of you. Mr. Chu is someone as powerful as an immortal. You have witnessed only a tip of the iceberg about his abilities. I hope that you can keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you later on.”

Everyone present nodded in unison. In fact, they knew it even if Chen Hanlong didn’t tell them. After all, they were not fools. An item casually made by Mr. Chu could block bullets. How could any normal person do that?

Thinking of this, they landed their eyes on the jade pendant in Chen Hanlong’s hand once again, swallowing unconsciously. It was actually an extra life! The temptation of such an item was too great for them to resist. “I must find a way to make a connection with Mr. Chu.” Each of them thought secretly to themselves.

Chen Hanlong noticed everyone’s envious look and couldn’t help grinning. Holding the jade pendant in both hands with satisfaction, he repeatedly touched and kissed it.

“Chairman Chen, can you make a deal with me? How about selling it to me for 50 million yuan? I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life.” Li Tian pleaded, looking at the jade pendant with eager eyes. He could no longer stand the temptation.

“Do you want to get this jade pendant for merely 50 million yuan? Well, I can offer 100 million yuan.”

“I am willing to pay 200 million yuan.”

“I’d like to share half of my company’s shares.”

The group of people instantly became driven by a crazed lust to take the jade pendant.

“Have I ever said that I wanted to sell it?” Chen Hanlong sneered. His life was always more important than money.

After that, he carefully put away the jade pendant!

...

Chu Xun drove back to the Qianlong Mount Villas!

With the chalcedon, he could begin to set up the Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe.

Setting up a formation was a piece of cake to Chu Xun. This time, it took him only a few minutes to complete the Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe.

Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe, get started!

He took the Warm Jade’s chalcedon as the Formation Eye and activated the whole formation.

As soon as the formation started to run, the entire Qianlong Mountain shook violently!

The spiritual energy in the Spirit Vein didn’t dissipate in the air. Instead, it seemed to be pulled together by something. Then the spiritual energy rushed continuously to the villa where Chu Xun lived.

The Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe protected the entire villa, and the spiritual energy in the formation multiplied! After being nourished by the spiritual energy, the flowers and plants in the villa became glossy and green.

The concentration of spiritual energy was still increasing!

Looking at the Spirit Vein, Chu Xun thought, “I have to go there and make a Spirit-Hiding Formation. After all, if someone also discovers this Spirit Vein and damages it, the spiritual energy will stop going to the villa. In that case, the Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe will outlive its purpose.”

Just when Chu Xun felt the rich spiritual energy around, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

With the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he kept cultivating until late into this scant-starred night.

Chu Xun woke up from his cultivation, and his aura became more ethereal.

He stepped into the intermediate Qi Refinement Stage.

His Azure Dragon’s Tyrannical Physique Technique remained at the First Transformation Stage, but it became more solid.

Feeling the True Energy in his body, which was twice as abundant as before, Chu Xun couldn’t help howling to heaven. Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe could keep the sound inside his villa, or his howl would wake up all the people living in the Qianlong Mount Villas.

At this time, there was barely any spiritual energy in Chu Xun’s villa because he had absorbed all the previous abundant spiritual energy.
