Chapter 2519 - 2522: Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow
"By the way, my master said that considering you’ve behaved well, this time we’ll only kill Jian Ruchao. But if there’s a next time, your Sword Clan will face total annihilation."
Ling Xiao didn’t hide the matter of killing Jian Ruchao.
Because even if he didn’t admit it, the Sword Clan would still blame him.
However, he didn’t say he killed him himself, but rather that Jian Ruchao died at the hands of his master.
After speaking, he vanished into the sky.
Jian Kun stood there, his body continuously trembling.
It was fear.
And anger.
And anxiety.
"Father, even Uncle Ruchao has been killed, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Jian Liufeng felt he was about to go crazy.
In the past, before Ling Xiao set foot in the Upper Baxian Mountain, he was so confident and arrogant.
So unbeatable.
And now, he was so pathetic.
"Of course, we can’t just sit and wait for death. But do you have any good ideas?"
Jian Kun coldly asked.
"Father, I do have a good idea."
Jian Tianchen coolly said, "We still have a few Earth Demon Assassins we’ve trained. Although they aren’t as elite as before, they can still be used for reconnaissance.
As long as we figure out what Ling Xiao is up to, then kill him outside, even if his master comes looking for trouble, he won’t find it on us."
"Those Earth Demon Assassins are our Sword Clan’s only trump card. It’s because of them that we haven’t been stripped of our Eight Great Families title after losing the clan elder. They’re key to the whole plan."
Jian Kun frowned, somewhat hesitant.
"It’s just reconnaissance, without any risk. As long as the Earth Demon Assassins don’t attack, no one in this world can discover them!"
Jian Tianchen said.
Jian Kun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Based on the direction Ling Xiao’s heading, it seems he’s going to the Tianlong Trade Company. Quickly send Earth Demon Assassins to gather intelligence, see where he’s actually going and what he’s planning!"
"Yes!"
...
Arriving at the Tianlong Trade Company, Ling Xiao told the shopkeeper about his needs.
After thinking for a moment, the shopkeeper said, "Speaking of this Jade Marrow, I actually know a place that might have it."
"What place?"
Ling Xiao asked eagerly.
The shopkeeper said, "About thirty miles outside of Eight Immortals County City, there’s a crater known as the Heavenly Thunder Pit.
In this Heavenly Thunder Pit appeared a piece of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow.
And a lot of Lei Yuanyu.
The Lei Yuanyu used by the Upper Baxian Mountain is basically purchased from here."
"Purchased? Isn’t the Heavenly Thunder Pit a void place?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"Of course not. The owner of the Heavenly Thunder Pit is the Thirteenth Prince of the Chen Dynasty, but at the moment, it’s managed by Duke Yates."
The shopkeeper replied, "Three pieces of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow have appeared in the Heavenly Thunder Pit.
One was used by the Thirteenth Prince, another was used by Duke Yates’ granddaughter, Dawn Wind Moon.
The last piece, because it’s located in the central area of the Heavenly Thunder Pit, no one can get close to it, so it’s still there.
Duke Yates once said that if anyone can take that piece, they can be accepted as his closed-door disciple.
If they don’t want to be his disciple, they can be granted a set of top-grade Jade Martial Arts Skills."
"Haha, quite generous, but it seems this Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow is indeed very precious."
Ling Xiao chuckled.
"Naturally, a piece of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow can forge a top-level Thunder and Lightning Battle Body.
That’s equivalent to the top-grade Jade Body Refining Martial Arts."
The shopkeeper said.
"Alright, thank you, shopkeeper, it looks like I need to visit that place."
Ling Xiao stood up and said.
"When you go, it’s best to find some helpers, otherwise it’ll be troublesome. Duke Yates values this Heavenly Thunder Pit greatly, as it’s the Thirteenth Prince’s property, he dares not neglect it.
Naturally, he’ll assign heavy guards.
The martial artists on the outskirts are fine, you can handle them.
But nearby the Heavenly Thunder Pit is more complicated. Dawn Wind Moon is rumored to be cultivating there.
If she discovers you, with your power, you might be able to escape, but obtaining that piece of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow will be extremely difficult.
"But I’m puzzled. If Duke Yates and the Thirteenth Prince can’t get the item, why not let others try?"
Ling Xiao said perplexedly.
"Haha, these people are just like that. Their own things, even if they can’t use them, they definitely won’t let others have them."
The shopkeeper laughed.
"Alright, thank you, shopkeeper. These are the Yin Yang Pills I recently crafted, let’s put them up for sale at your trade company. They are all perfect quality and equivalent to high-level elixirs."
The good relationship between Ling Xiao and the Tianlong Trade Company wasn’t simply because they were fond of each other.
It was mainly because Ling Xiao could provide enough items to satisfy the trade company.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your trust."
It’s worth noting that for each pill, they can earn thirty percent of the income.
Of course, that’s just a small benefit.
Key is, in Eight Immortals County City, no other trade company sells these pills, essentially giving them a monopoly.
To buy such pills, many people will continuously patronize their Tianlong Trade Company, bringing them a lot of business.
These benefits are immense.
"Just a small gesture."
Ling Xiao waved his hand, not caring much.
To him, it’s just a minor gesture, left over after gifting Yin Yang Pills to the Yue Clan.
"Young Master Ling treats our Tianlong Trade Company so favorably, we naturally must strive to assist.
Here, this is a map of the area around the Heavenly Thunder Pit.
A small town has formed near the Heavenly Thunder Pit due to the commercial activities.
This town is almost entirely populated by businessmen and laborers from Duke Yates.
If you truly want to successfully obtain that piece of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, it’s best to first settle in Heavenly Thunder Town, understand the situation, and then act."
This map is truly valuable.
In the Mysterious World, due to the complex terrain, without a map, one might never walk out of a forest.
Martial Artists have an incredibly high demand for maps, perhaps even higher than for healing medicines.
The Tianlong Trade Company gifting such a map is truly generous.
Ling Xiao took the map and found that it even included the military deployment near the Heavenly Thunder Pit.
The martial artists on the outskirts have at least First Layer Hell Cultivation.
The strongest can reach the Pinnacle of First Stage Four-Layer Hell Cultivation.
Within the hundred-meter radius of Heavenly Thunder Pit, there are actually ten martial artists of the Pinnacle of First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell Cultivation garrisoned.
The most troublesome is Dawn Wind Moon, her cultivation level has reached First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell.
Very difficult to deal with.
But since Ling Xiao has decided to obtain that Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, he certainly wouldn’t give up.
He returned to Upper Baxian Mountain and summoned Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang for help under the guise of joint cultivation.
These two, both at the Pinnacle of First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell Cultivation.
Although they can’t deal with Dawn Wind Moon, they can easily help divert other martial artists.
