“How could I possibly do something to harm myself?”
“I just wanted to trick the Jiang family once!”
Chen Nan's face showed a look of profound contemplation.
“The protective charm was refined by me. Do you think it can exert its proper protective effect in front of me?”
“No!”
“I can decide whether it becomes a protective artifact or a weapon of death!”
“Although I don’t understand what you mean, it sounds very powerful!” Guan Qing’s eyes were full of admiration.
After that.
The three of them left!
The staff at the Quiet Tea House arranged a truck to escort the Burning Heaven Furnace.
They followed them all the way to the quadrangle courtyard.
After moving it into the yard, Chen Nan bit his right index finger and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto it.
Instantly!
The Burning Heaven Furnace erupted with a dazzling stream of light.
The dark light on the furnace body gradually faded, revealing its original pale golden hue.
Not only that, but there were also some ancient cloud patterns on it.
It looked ancient and grand, with a hint of desolation.
It was like a celestial artifact.
Chen Nan’s eyes were filled with fervor. He felt as if this alchemy furnace had become a part of his body.
There was even a mysterious connection and sensing.
“Receive!”
With a thought, the alchemy furnace transformed into a pale golden light and disappeared from its spot.
It entered Chen Nan’s body.
When Chen Nan opened his right hand, a fist-sized alchemy furnace floated in his palm.
“Spirit artifact? This is a spirit artifact?”
Guan Qing’s pupils trembled.
Although he had no inheritance, he knew that there was something that surpassed magic artifacts, something that could merge with the cultivator.
“This is indeed a spirit artifact!”
Chen Nan was in a great mood.
“Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, on acquiring a spirit artifact! With this spirit artifact by your side, you will surely become an supreme existence in the cultivation world, commanding the wind and rain!”
“As the saying goes, spirit artifacts have spirits, this is simply destiny!”
Guan Qing was extremely excited, constantly fawning over Chen Nan.
He felt that his gamble had paid off!
It wouldn’t be long before he could follow Chen Nan and look down on the mortal world!
------
Some were happy, while others were sad.
The atmosphere on the Jiang family’s side was very bad!
Old Master Jiang sat on the grand armchair, his imposing aura spreading out, making the members of the Jiang clan dare not even breathe heavily.
“Can someone tell me what exactly happened?”
“How could Chen Nan kill Senior Wu Tong?”
Old Master Jiang had sent someone to kill Chen Nan.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Wu Tong return, he sent someone to investigate!
They discovered Wu Tong's corpse!
This was unbearable for him!
Because Wu Tong was a peak cultivator at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.
He was not an mediocre fellow like Guan Qing!
“Father, Chen Nan’s strength may have surpassed Senior Wu Tong. Otherwise, Senior Wu Tong would not have died at his hands!” the second son, Jiang Wuhuan, said nervously.
The third son, Jiang Wunan, said with a solemn expression: “We have underestimated this child.”
“He has reached the second level of the Qi Refining stage at such a young age, which shows his extraordinary talent!”
“This kind of person must be killed!”
“If he is allowed to grow!”
“He might become a major threat to our Jiang family!”
“According to the agreement, he will visit the Jiang family tomorrow. We can ask the clan elders to strike and kill him then!” Old Master Jiang’s face was filled with coldness!
He had not taken Chen Nan seriously at all!
He had not taken Guan Qing's words to heart!
Now it seemed.
He had ultimately underestimated his opponent!
However!
None of this mattered anymore!
As long as he dared to come tomorrow, the Jiang family would be the place where he met his end!
“Father, there is something we must guard against!” Jiang Wuhuan said, “Chen Nan has such talent at such a young age, which shows he is no ordinary person.”
“Since he dares to come to our Jiang family to provoke us so openly, he must have some trump cards.”
“We must guard against this!”
“He’s just a rogue cultivator, why should we fear him?” Jiang Wuyou said with a disdainful expression.
“Has the auction ended?” Old Master Jiang frowned and asked, “Why couldn’t we bring back that Three-legged Eight-horned Golden Crow Furnace?”
Jiang Wuyou respectfully replied, “Back to Father, your son did bid for that Three-legged Eight-horned Golden Crow Furnace. However, some incidents occurred during the auction, and I made a unilateral decision without seeking permission, trading the Three-legged Eight-horned Golden Crow Furnace for fifteen jade pendants!”
“Big Brother, are you crazy? These are ordinary jade pendants, why would you trade for such a thing?” the second son, Jiang Wuhuan, said incredulously.
The third son, Jiang Wunan, also said, “Right, I heard you spent eighty-six billion. You exchanged so much money for these fifteen jade pendants? Was your brain kicked by a donkey?”
“Father, Big Brother’s actions are incomprehensible. He is clearly squandering wealth. If he inherits the position of clan leader, our Jiang family will surely be ruined by him.”
The members of the Jiang family spoke one after another, directing their accusations at Jiang Wuyou.
Although the Jiang family appeared united, there were constant internal struggles.
Especially towards Jiang Wuyou.
He was the eldest son of the Jiang family, and barring any accidents, he would inherit the Jiang family in the future!
Therefore, the second and third sons both wanted to bring him down!
This way, they would have a chance to become heirs!
“Jiang Wuyou, you had better give me a reasonable explanation!” Old Master Jiang snorted heavily.
Even though he doted on his eldest son unusually,
Even he was somewhat angry now!
After all, that was eighty-six billion!
To put it bluntly, this was one-third of the Jiang family's wealth!
Jiang Wuyou seemed to have anticipated this situation. He was not nervous and instead smiled, saying, “It is understandable that Father is angry. After all, spending eighty-six billion on fifteen jade pendants is indeed a ridiculous and wasteful act!”
“However, the jade pendants I bought are not ordinary jade pendants!”
“These fifteen jade pendants are all high-grade protective charms, and each charm can withstand two attacks from a Qi Refining stage cultivator!”
Old Master Jiang’s cloudy eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, “What you said is true?”
The Jiang family’s council hall fell silent, not a sound could be heard!
Everyone was stunned!
They were no strangers to protective charms.
But they had never heard of a protective charm that could withstand two attacks from a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
Jiang Wuyou held a protective charm in his hand and smiled faintly, “Father has already entered the Grandmaster realm. If you don’t believe me, you can try to attack me!”
“Then I must try!”
Old Master Jiang unleashed a palm strike.
His power as a Grandmaster was unrestrained, and the palm strike whistled, creating a terrifying momentum!
Seeing this scene!
Jiang Wuhuan and Jiang Wunan held their breath.
In their hearts, they hoped that the protective charm was fake.
If so, they could kill Jiang Wuyou!
Boom!
Just as Old Master Jiang’s palm was about to land on Jiang Wuyou, a verdant stream of light erupted from Jiang Wuyou, directly sending Old Master Jiang flying backward, and blood also overflowed from his mouth.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
The Jiang family members cried out in alarm.
Old Master Jiang was weakly helped up, his eyes shining with excitement, “Wuyou, you have made a great contribution to the family this time. The eighty-six billion was well spent!”
