Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Immortal Jade Pendant!

 

It's been three weeks since Shen arrived Hundred Miles City. He was getting more and more impatient to get the Yin-Yang Pendant, but he won’t be idiot enough to directly express his wish to visit the Qing Village.

In the first place, he told Ruyan that he heard about Hundred Miles City from some people. And he wanted to start his journey from here as the power level of this city was really low. Although Ruyan felt he hid something, she didn’t feel the necessity to inquire anymore.

Today they are visiting the Qing Village. Last week they toured around the Phoenix Setting City so that Ruyan won’t be suspicious about visiting Qing Village. During the tour to Phoenix Setting City, they met with an elderly man of Peak Houtian Level.

He had a keen sense and naturally found Yu Ruyan to be different from any normal person. He tried to sense her cultivation realm but failed sorely. He instantly decided this Young Lady was an expert!

Who wouldn't want to establish a connection with an expert? Especially her gentle and noble aura made anyone feel her as a friendly person. So, he summoned his courage and invited them to his clan.

To be honest, Shen found both Hundred Miles City and Phoenix Setting City lacking compared to the cities he visited so far. But as a place with a lot of potential beauties, he couldn’t possibly back away. But he thought he will definitely visit the nearby cities.

Ehem, not to search beauties but to visit them. Absolutely! Journey and encounters are important for a cultivator and a warrior. Naturally, he won’t ignore that. He will venture to unknowns and... by luck if he encounters some beauties, they might get the chance to join his harem.

When they reached the Qing Manor, Shen quickly separated himself by telling he will take a quick look around. He could already imagine the Yin-Yang Pendant on his hand! How many times did he dream to have his own cheat item?! But soon his confidence shattered.

On the novel they made it sound simple but what came to his view were multiple mountains. He only sighed, it won’t be easy as easy as he thought. His eyes determinedly flashed, for the cheat item, he will do anything!

Five weeks later, Shen sat inside a cave, while a foolish grin pasted on his face. Inside this cave, he found a thumb-sized piece of oval jade pendant after ransacking the cave. The pendant was somewhat worn and tattered. He carefully observed the pendant and there was a Yin-Yang symbol inscribed on the pendant! The pendant produced a warm feeling when he touched it.

[Immortal Jade Pendant (Inactive)]

He visited the Qing Village from time to time. He searched once at least every five days. Finally, his hard work paid off. He found the cave and the skeleton that had the Pendant.

This expert must be the last owner of the Violet Jade of Immortal! Or maybe he died without even knowing the pendant he had was a cheat item! Since Shen felt thankful, he didn’t forget to give a proper burial to the expert aka skeleton.

Although he wanted nothing else other than biting his finger and dropping a drop of blood on it, he calmed himself down. He can’t possibly forget about his ultimate cheat.

Grabbing the pendant, he willed to upgrade it. Soon, the pendant flashed a little bit.

[Immortal Jade Pendant +1 (Inactive)]

He could feel, this pendant is nowhere near its limit. Without delaying he successively upgraded the pendant to +10

[Immortal Jade Pendant +10 (Inactive)]

The upgrade is successful! Still, he was a little sad about receiving no info about this item.

He bit a finger and dropped his blood on the pendant. He had an eager expression on his face. Finally, he will get the Realm of Violet Jade of Immortal but wait! Nothing happened?!? No reaction came from the pendant. Let alone reaction his blood didn’t even enter the pendant.

‘DID I JUST BREAK THE CHEAT ITEM?!’

‘Nonono, that’s not possible. As much as I learned from using this Cheat so far. There’s no side effect as long as the item is fine.’ his head started working crazily.

He read the description again a few more times and finally, after reading it for the tenth time he noticed that it had the ‘Inactive’ status. That must be the reason!

Could it be there was some requirement for contracting with this item? ‘But was there any requirement mentioned in the novel? No, Qing Shui got the realm after his blood mixed with the pendant. There was no requirement. At least, they didn’t mention it in the novel.’ not matter how much he racked through his brain, he couldn’t remember it. But the more he thought about this, the more probable it sounded to him. Qing Shui didn’t know that it was a treasure but later was able to get the Immortal Realm.

‘Could it be Life and Death battle is a requirement? Nah, it shouldn’t be, then, what?’ still, Shen couldn’t pinpoint the exact requirement for contracting with the item.

As there was no other choice, he decided to wear it on his neck. With this, another heavy load left from his shoulder.

While returning he met with Qing Shui. Currently, Qing Shui was a four years old boy. Even for a kid, he looked rather skinny. Shen felt a little guilty for taking Yin-Yang Pendant, but he justified himself by calling it his. He wanted to help him but so far he didn’t have anything that can help him.

He was not afraid of changing the story, more like he will mess the story. He was only here for beauties after he conquers them from Hundred Miles City, he will venture to some unknown city. All for the sake of beauties!

He just ruffled Qing Shui’s hair before returning to Ruyan and Lingshuang. Qing Shui was a little surprised and threw a confused gaze at Shen. He knew this boy. He came to their village from Hundred Miles City and as soon as he is here, he would run off to the mountains.

“Oh~ you are back early today. Did you find what you were looking for?” as soon as Shen returned, Ruyan teased Shen with an amused tone.

“Kek!” Shen jumped back and took a fighting stance. Normally it would have looked gallant but now it only looked comical which caused both Ruyan and Qing Yi to laugh.

“You know, you shouldn’t spy on someone-”

“You wish kid. If it wasn’t for me, you think you could survive in the mountains till now?” Yu Ruyan interrupted him as she playfully

“...I can take care of myself.” Shen did find it strange as he didn’t encounter any wild beasts and it indeed became easier for him to concentrate on searching but he couldn’t just back away... as a man!

Still, he thought, he could take care of himself. He wasn’t some sheltered kid. He had plenty of experience in his last life. Cultivated every day from the time he got his cheat technique. Although its a ‘bit slow’, it was still enough to let him escape.

“Yeah, keep acting tough, kid.”

“Don’t treat me like a kid.”

Ruyan just sighed, Lingshuang just cutely pouted a little and Qing Yi laughed at their antics.
