Chapter Sixteen: Visiting Madam Xue Again

  "Third brother, your eyes?"

  "It's nothing, just got a bit irritated by that kid's sharp eyes."

  "Spark in the eyes? No way! Legend has it that only super strong practitioners who have reached the realm of Qi and Blood Condensing Dan can produce sparkling eyes, how old is that kid?! This is impossible!!"

  Seeing the bodyguard's shocked expression, the pretty girl also came back to her senses.

  This guy doesn't seem like a spendthrift as I thought. He's low-key and wouldn't be easily deceived into losing 8,000 yuan.

  And he asked to exchange jade bangles with himself in a affirmative tone, as if he already knew that there was top-grade jade inside the stone.

  What an odd person!

  The pretty girl hastily said: "Let's hurry and chase after that little rascal."

  "Miss, this is very dangerous." The bodyguard's tense dissuasion was still tearfully streaming from his eyes.

  The pretty girl glared and said: "You're thinking too much, I want to make friends with this guy. Someone as awesome as him, knowing him will only bring benefits, not harm."

  Outside of Jade Market, on an ordinary street.

  Jiang Le carried a large package and strolled along.

  Walking to a deserted corner of the street, Jiang Le put down his large package and turned around with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression.

  The next moment, three men came out and stared at Jiang Le foolishly.

  One of the three men was Liu Yufa, who was familiar with Jiang Le, and the other two were burly strongmen.

  "Tsk tsk, Expert Liu, what a coincidence." Jiang Le said with a hint of meaning in his greeting.

  Liu Yufa was taken aback, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

  "Good kid, I didn't think you were quite capable of pretending, and you even fooled me."

  Jiang Le rolled his eyes and said, "Liu Zhuanjia, you're wrong this time. In a business transaction, it's all about mutual consent. You used scrap stone to sell me something for 8,000, which is already a profit. How can you still be dissatisfied?"

  A glint of greed flashed in Liu Yufa's eyes: "Hmph, that gambling stone is mine. If you know what's good for you, return the jade bangle to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

  "Alas, I've already traded that jade stone to that little sister of yours. You should go find her instead."

  Liu Yufa impatiently said: "Too much nonsense, you guys, let's get started."

  Two burly men had been eager for a long time, and upon hearing this, they turned their heads, clenched their fists, and approached Jiang Le with sinister smiles.

  "It seems we have no choice but to take action, sorry about that."

  Slowly took out a Vajra seal and a divine power seal from the yellow cloth bag, and with a burst of magical energy, tiny sparks flashed. Then stuck it on himself, suddenly felt a surge of terrifying power in his body, and his skin seemed to have undergone a transformation in an instant. Felt like there was a sense of transforming into a superhuman being.

  The Taoist talisman is indeed incredibly mysterious.

  Looking at the two burly men approaching, Jiang Le licked his lips and had a sly expression on his face.

  A few minutes later, the pretty girl came to the corner of the street with two bodyguards and was shocked to see three men lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses, already unconscious.

  The bodyguard, who had been crying non-stop, went forward to check and stood up with a serious expression: "He's not dead, but every one of them has multiple fractures. This kid is really ruthless."

  The pretty girl stomped her foot in annoyance and said, "We actually got separated. I'll send someone to look for you right away, and we must find out who this guy is and where he lives."

  Back at the antique shop, Jiang Le directly entered the backyard house, put the big bag on the ground, and then took out the jade bangle with relish.

  Although the value of Emperor's Green Jade is higher, this jade bangle is relatively more precious. Because this jade bangle has already formed a foundation for spiritual tools, and the strong and warm jade energy it possesses has an extremely good effect on the human body.

  Especially her mother Jiang Hua, who had been overworked in her early years and left with rheumatism and lumbar muscle strain, which was difficult to cure in hospital and mainly relied on nursing.

  The best way to nourish people is with jade.

  Just turn the jade bangle into a magical instrument and put it on your mother, which is absolutely better than any medical treatment.

  It's just that Jiang Le Xiu is not good at it, and his skills are not proficient. He doesn't have the ability to add a talisman to the jade bangle, so this matter will be handed over to Master. As a disciple of the sect, he has worked hard for the sect's base, and the old man can't bear to be so idle.

  There is also a big bag of jade material bought by Jiang Le, which was also prepared for Mao Xiaofang to carve.

  At night, Mao Xiaofang came out on time, directly took the jade bangle that Jiang Le had exchanged back, played with it for a moment, and then smiled: "This thing is not bad, has the foundation of a magic weapon, can be used to protect the body, nourish the body, ward off evil spirits, and warn against several types of talismans."

  Hearing Master say this, Jiang Le was overjoyed.

  He thought it would be great if he could just protect and nourish his body, but he didn't expect to have so many more blessings. With these blessed symbols, not only will his mother's body become better and better, but she will also have some defensive power when encountering danger in the future.

  Mao Xiaofang glanced at Jiang Le and smiled: "I know your filial piety, I'll help you with this matter. It's just that recently I've absorbed the true fire of Taiyang, and the pure yang Bagua has recovered some of its power. I can now use more magical powers."

  Jiang Le's expression changed, and he curiously asked: "Master, you are now the spiritual vessel of Pure Yang Eight Trigrams. Is there a way to speed up the recovery of Pure Yang Eight Trigrams?"

  Mao Xiaofang sighed: "You think I'm not anxious, the Blood Demon I suppressed has gone who-knows-where, and that guy can only be subdued by the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams. Now the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams has been severely depleted, if it doesn't recover its original power, it won't be able to subdue the Blood Demon at all. The thing is, the Pure Yang Eight Trigrams is a Supreme Yang artifact, and it can only absorb the strongest true fire of the sun at noon every day, requiring a full nine years to recover."

  Jiang Le was speechless. The more powerful the artifact, the harder it is to recover. So, his own fallen treasure, the Golden Money Fragment, is a celestial treasure. Will he have the chance to restore it to its original state in this lifetime?

  Mao Xiaofang suddenly changed his expression and said, "However, there are some ways to speed up the recovery of Pure Yang Bagua. That is to find some extremely yang artifacts and transfer their power into the Pure Yang Bagua."

  Jiang Le's eyes lit up: "This is actually feasible, after all, there are fewer and fewer cultivators in the world now, and with the vastness of the world, there must be many lost artifacts. In the future, we can search for them while traveling."

  "This matter is not urgent, let's talk about it after you reach the Tongmai realm. By the way, you bought so many jade materials, I'm afraid you also want me to take action?"

  "Haha, Master, your eyes are like torches, and your disciple's little thoughts can't escape your all-seeing gaze."

  "Hmph, you little money grubber, if it wasn't for the fact that your initial intention was for the sake of the sect, I wouldn't have bothered helping you."

  "Thank you, Master! I knew you'd be the best. Come on, give me a kiss."

  For several days in a row, Jiang Le has been staying at home to cultivate his skills, including the Tian Gang Step and drawing talismans, all of which have been steadily improving. In addition, every night Master Mao Xiaofang would carve magical instruments, add spells, and explain the way of refining instruments while Jiang Le watched and listened, also gaining a lot from it.

  Jiang Le was reviewing his schoolwork that day when he heard his mother Jiang Hua calling from the front of the store.

  "Xiao Le, someone is looking for you."

  Jiang Le hurried out to take a look and found that the one looking for her was actually Xu Jie's mother, chatting with her own mother.

  Seeing Jiang Le coming out, Jiang Hua smiled and said: "You child, saved someone but didn't come back to tell mom." Although her mouth was blaming, her eyes were proud, after all, it's her own child.

  Jiang Le gave a strange glance at Mrs. Xu.

  Mrs. Xu hastily said: "Xiao Le, you sent my daughter to the hospital, the doctor said it was just in time, if it was a few minutes late it would have been dangerous, so I came over specifically to thank you."

  Jiang Le's face relaxed a bit, so it was said like this originally.

  "It's okay, we're all classmates, helping each other is what we should do."

  Xu Mu was delighted to see this, it seemed that the little guy hadn't told his mother about his cultivation, and had helped him keep it a secret. It should be much easier to ask for things later on.
