Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Its shape, too, is an irregular long strip.

If this is not yet considered peculiar, inside it there was conspicuously a worm-like silkworm wriggling. Its surface, covered in many unusual patterns, appeared profoundly mysterious.

Forming natural runes one after another.

Others who see this object might not recognize its origin.

Chu Feng, however, recognized it at a glance. The insect sealed within the piece of jade is the mythical Heavenly Silkworm.

Looking at the shape and appearance of this piece of jade, it very much resembles the mythical fossil.

The insect inside must have been sealed together with it, undergoing millions of years of evolution, and ultimately becoming one with the jade.

It also has another name, called Eternal Jade Worm.

Every worm sealed within a fossil, after millions of years of evolution, can be called an Eternal Jade Worm.

Some Jade Worms are very ordinary, such as bamboo joint worms, and it could even possibly be just an ant.

But the fossil hanging from Young Master Jia's waist encloses a Heavenly Silkworm, which is one in a million. That makes it even more precious and rare.

Ordinary silkworms spin silk that can be woven into silk fabric, making clothes.

The Heavenly Silkworm, besides producing silk, also possesses a special ability. It is known as a natural talisman array repair expert.

Especially the talisman array inside Heavenly Divine Weapons, because once a Heavenly Divine Weapon is successfully crafted, it becomes integrated and indivisible. The talisman array engraved inside it usually seldom gets damaged.

But there are some special circumstances.

Such as the Demon Slaying Sword in Chu Feng's hand, which has been long subjected to the ravages of an Ancient Demon and ultimately severely damaged.

Even the internal talisman array has been damaged to some extent.

A normal Heavenly Silkworm can repair the talisman array inside a Heavenly Divine Weapon. However, it takes a very long time and the rental cost is incredibly high. Even so, it's very hard to borrow one.

A Heavenly Silkworm that has already transformed into a Thousand Year Jade Worm, in fact, has become a half-worm, half-spirit being. Just like a human being who dies and is buried in a land brimming with evil energy.

Absorbing the power of moonlight over many years.

It might undergo corpse transformation, evolving into the mythical Zombie. At that time, it is no longer human, but belongs to another species.

The Heavenly Silkworm inside that fossil is the same. It has actually undergone metamorphosis a long time ago.

"I have always been worried about not finding a treasure to repair the talisman array inside the Demon Slaying Sword. Now I finally have a lead." Chu Feng was secretly pleased in his heart.

If he could obtain that jade pendant, it would definitely be a great joy for Chu Feng.

However, this Young Master Jia has a very high status and is not weak either, getting the jade pendant from him might not be an easy task.

…

Young Master Jia's threat had no effect on Chu Feng, instead, it was countered by Chu Feng.

He suddenly became somewhat annoyed and furious, his eyes icily staring at Chu Feng "Boy, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

"With my status, even if I slaughter you, I would not be subjected to any punishment. Killing you, a Great Sword Master, is as easy as crushing an ant."

Whether it was Young Master Jia's expression, gaze, or tone, all conveyed disdain.

In his eyes, Chu Feng was just an insect.

"I advise Young Master Jia better not make a move!" Pu Li coldly backed Chu Feng.

"Are you threatening me?" Young Master Jia's face changed slightly, but he clearly held deep wariness of Pu Li. "I dare not threaten, just self-preservation!" Pu Li's strength was formidable, indeed comparable to a One-star Sword God.

This Young Master Jia was nothing in his presence.

"Fine, fine! This Duke will make a concession one more time, she refuses to serve me for three days and nights! Then let's settle it with money!" Seeing that he met a tough opponent, Young Master Jia himself softened first.

It had a sense of being strong on the outside but hollow on the inside.

"How much silver does Young Master Jia want?"

"Not much, just about ten million taels should suffice!"

Young Master Jia, twirling his index finger and thumb, spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Ten million taels!"

Chu Feng and Pu Li were both shocked by this astronomical figure.

Joining the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage was a matter of course for them. It was one thing for the Main Pulse not to welcome them warmly, but to actually demand a bribe of ten million silver taels was treating them like soft persimmons to be squeezed or fat pigs to be slaughtered.

"Is that too much? I, Pu Li, am willing to give out a hundred thousand silver taels!" Pu Li said earnestly.

They were already fleeing from calamity, and only had their personal belongings with them.

Many of their assets hadn't even been liquidated.

Besides, bribing Young Master Jia with ten million taels simply wasn't worth it.

"A hundred thousand taels? You're treating me like a beggar!" Young Master Jia's face turned very ugly.

These trash from the Dan State Branch dare to be so disrespectful; they shouldn't blame this young master for being rude.

"If you're unwilling to have this beauty serve me and also reluctant to spend silver, you group of poor trash can get lost. Our Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage does not accept trash like you."

Enraged, Young Master Jia slammed the table and stood up to leave.

Upon opening the door, he loudly declared to the people outside.

"I have already checked; these people are impostors. There's no record of them on the sect's scrolls. Expel all these frauds from the Wan Jian Sect for me!"

Young Master Jia commanded coldly.

"Hmph, such a sect, it's better to leave!"

Both Chu Feng and Han Xiaoying were extremely angry. Even Pu Li was furious.

"Chu Feng, if we leave angrily now, we'll be falling right into Young Master Jia's trap. Moreover, even if we join some other major power, the cost won't be small. We might end up being treated like servants."

"Since Young Master Jia calls us impostors, then let's prove ourselves another way. As I know, joining the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage has another method, which is to challenge the Qiankun Sword Formation."

"Once you pass two levels, you will be recognized by the sect."

Pu Li promptly grabbed the angry Chu Feng.

"Right, I too have heard of this! Back in the day, when the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage sent many genius disciples to establish Sub-sects, in order for the people of sub-sects to acknowledge their lineage and return to the main family later, the Qiankun Sword Formation was specially set up. It can be used to test the genius of the incoming sub-sects as well as to uncover the hidden outstanding disciples from the main pulse."

Elder Ge Qing also spoke seriously.

Others might not know Chu Feng's capabilities, but Ge Qing and Pu Li were very aware.

The Qiankun Sword Formation was specifically set up for disciples who had comprehended the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. It was used to test their comprehension level of the sword skill.

If one has not comprehended the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, they wouldn't even pass one level.

Chu Feng's eyes lit up; this was a good opportunity to throw Young Master Jia's words back in his face. Being able to stay in the Wan Jian Sect based solely on his own strength was excellent.

Moreover, the fate of over two hundred core members from the Dan State Branch depended on him.

This was also an opportunity to repay them.

Chu Feng readily agreed.

"Good, I will challenge the Qiankun Sword Formation!"
