Chapter 261: Only the Supreme Clear Jade Can Cross the Swamp

Xu Chen was completely stunned, and so were everyone else.

Everyone gasped—have girls become like this nowadays?

She doesn't seem the least bit reserved.

But why didn't we encounter this?

Damn it! How the hell did Xu Chen get such luck? It's infuriating. "Hum!"

At that moment, the Supreme Clear Jade inside Xu Chen's Storage Ring slowly emitted light.

A peculiar aura immediately rippled out from the Storage Ring, drawing the attention of everyone present.

They stared in shock—what trick was Xu Chen pulling now?

Xu Chen pulled out the Supreme Clear Jade, revealing its full form to all.

Earlier, no one had paid attention to this ninth-rank item, so they hadn't examined it closely.

Now that they saw it seemed unusual, they began studying it carefully.

It was a round Jade Pendant, adorned with red tassels.

It looked exactly like something a noble Prince would carry.

Gongsun Piaomiao said: "Brother Chen, this thing has no master." Xu Chen nodded, then dripped his own essence blood onto the Jade Pendant.

Soon, he felt he could control its size.

With a flick of his Divine Sense, the round Jade Pendant instantly expanded in midair.

It hovered before him like a flying sword.

Gongsun Piaomiao gasped: "Brother Chen, isn't this thing capable of crossing the swamp?" She feigned utter shock, knowing the plot well.

Everyone stared in disbelief—cross the swamp? Is that real?

Xu Chen's luck can't possibly be this good.

Xu Chen nodded and went with the flow: "Then I'll give it a try."

With that, he guided the Jade Pendant toward the forest swamp.

The next instant, everyone watched in stunned silence as it was not pulled down by the swamp's suction.

The Supreme Clear Jade was the only item immune to the swamp's suction.

Ye Xuan, witnessing this, clenched his teeth in fury.

Damn Xu Chen—he stole my thing.

Otherwise, I'd be the one in control right now.

Yang Han and the others nearby also looked grim—were they now forced to bow to Xu Chen's will?

Xu Chen grinned: "You all saw it—the Martial Emperor Inheritance lies over there.

But only my Jade Pendant can cross Anlong Zhaoze to find the opportunity. What's next, you don't need me to spell it out, right?" Yang Han's lip twitched: "What the hell do you want?" Xu Chen blinked: "Why say that? I'm a good person—would I ever trick you?"

Can't you look at me with a little goodwill? Can't we be friends? I've got no grudge against you, Yang Han." Yang Han gritted his teeth: "If you help me cross Anlong Zhaoze, then I'll accept you as a friend."

Xu Chen waved his hand: "Of course—I'm a friend, so I'll give you a friend's price: three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. How's that?"

Yang Han's face turned green instantly: "Why don't you just rob me?"

What the hell is a "friend's price"? That's equivalent to thirty million high-grade Spirit Stones in value!

I've got barely three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones on me—give them to you, what do I use? Xu Chen sighed: "If you think three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones matter more than the Martial Emperor Inheritance, then forget it. No pressure—I'm sure someone else will cross soon enough."

Fahai couldn't help speaking: "Master Xu, three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones is a bit steep—this monk…"

Xu Chen immediately said: "Monks are compassionate, right? Such great benevolence—two hundred, two hundred will do."

Fahai's eyes lit up in ecstatic joy: "Really?"

Xu Chen smiled: "Of course. Master Fahai, as soon as you hand over the Spirit Stones, I'll help you cross the swamp."

Fahai didn't hesitate—he pulled out two hundred top-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Xu Chen. The next instant, Xu Chen had Fahai step onto the Supreme Clear Jade and transported him across the swamp.

Soon, Fahai reached the dry land within the forest.

Then, under everyone's bewildered stares, Fahai plucked a flower glowing with golden light. Fahai exclaimed: "Duo'e Golden Lotus—Saint Grade Treasure! It's a treasure made for this monk!" Xu Chen whistled—damn, if I didn't know you weren't in on this, I'd swear you were my plant.

The Duo'e Golden Lotus, a Saint Grade Treasure, enhances Holy Domain and martial arts for those who cultivate Buddhist Sect techniques.

But it's useless to practitioners of other sects.

If the Duo'e Golden Lotus were given to Xu Chen, his "Soul-Swallowing and Spirit-Devouring Scripture" could also gain some enhancement.

Of course, since it's not pure Buddhist Sect martial arts, the enhancement might be minor.

He remembered—the Anlong Wudi was once one of the Bùtiān Lóng of the Buddhist Sect, an Ashura… until he broke his vows, was expelled from the Buddhist Sect, and fell into the Demonic Path, becoming the Anlong Wudi.
