5: Pure Yang Jade, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain

"Who are you? I've never seen you in the Ji Family before."

"I am the Ji Family's matrilocal son-in-law."

So he was the matrilocal son-in-law who had joined the Ji Family. Lu Yun sized up Jiang Yunfan, then quickly said, "Lu Yun greets Young Lord."

"Young Lord, this Jiaolin Horse is a Vicious Beast, its temper is extremely violent, and it's very difficult to tame. It will kick anyone who gets close to it."

Lu Yun approached the Jiaolin Horse and stroked it.

Jiang Yunfan was very surprised, and then his expression turned sour.

This kid really knew how to humblebrag. He said the Jiaolin Horse had a violent temper and would kick people, but he himself could get close to it.

Jiang Yunfan stared at the pure yang treasure jade hanging around his neck and casually asked, "What's that hanging around your neck?"

Lu Yun replied, "It's my family heirloom jade. It's not worth much."

"You have a family heirloom jade? How about letting me take a look?"

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, then took off the family heirloom jade hanging around his neck.

Jiang Yunfan took the pure yang treasure jade and pretended to examine it carefully, discovering that the pure yang treasure jade was absorbing his True Qi.

【Today's Intelligence (orange): The remnant soul of a powerful expert within the pure yang treasure jade needs True Qi to nourish it. It will awaken after absorbing enough True Qi.】

So that's how it is.

"This jade of yours is not simple! It actually contains Spiritual Qi; it's a spiritual jade."

"Young Lord, you said this jade is a spiritual jade. What kind of jade is a spiritual jade?"

Lu Yun, a mere stable boy, how would he know what a spiritual jade was?

Jiang Yunfan continued to bluster, "A spiritual jade is jade that has been imbued with Spiritual Qi. Even ordinary jade, once imbued with Spiritual Qi, becomes extraordinary. Spiritual jade can make a person immune to all illnesses, making it a rare treasure for ordinary people."

"My wife, who is your Young Miss, is now crippled. This jade is just right for her."

"Give me this jade, and I will teach you a Yellow Rank High-Grade Cultivation Method. When I enter the immortal sect at the Immortal Ascension Assembly someday, I will grant you an Opportunity and bring you into the immortal sect. How does that sound?"

Lu Yun hadn't expected the Young Lord to take a fancy to his family heirloom jade, and even be willing to teach him a Yellow Rank High-Grade Cultivation Method. He was just a stable boy, Cultivating a Yellow Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique.

Although the Yellow Rank High-Grade Cultivation Method was very tempting, the treasure jade was his family heirloom, making him indecisive.

Jiang Yunfan knew Lu Yun was tempted. "Your humble background is unchangeable, but you can change your future, change your destiny. An Opportunity is right in front of you. Whether you remain a stable boy your whole life or seize this Heaven-Defying Opportunity to change your fate is entirely up to you."

He handed the pure yang treasure jade back to Lu Yun, without the slightest hint of covetousness.

Lu Yun did not take it. He was unwilling to be a stable boy his entire life, and he made a decision in his heart. "Young Lord, I am willing to exchange this treasure jade for the Opportunity."

Jiang Yunfan was secretly pleased; the Opportunity was in his hands.

"You've made the most correct decision. I will now teach you a Yellow Rank High-Grade Cultivation Method."

Jiang Yunfan passed the Tidal Sword Art to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun had a good memory and quickly memorized the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Tidal Sword Art.

Jiang Yunfan walked towards the Jiaolin Horse. As soon as he got close, the Jiaolin Horse kicked at him. He quickly gathered True Qi to block, but was still pushed back several steps, his arm numb.

"This beast has great strength."

"Young Lord, the Jiaolin Horse is incredibly strong. Even Young Master Ji Qiang couldn't subdue it."

"I don't believe I can't tame it."

Jiang Yunfan leaped onto the horse's back. "Untie the chains."

Lu Yun took out the key and unlocked the chains.

As soon as the chains were undone, the Jiaolin Horse immediately rushed out of the Stable.

Jiang Yunfan held tightly to the chains. The Jiaolin Horse was extremely wild, constantly jumping and trying to throw him off.

"You beast!"

His fists rained down on the Jiaolin Horse's head. Even if the Jiaolin Horse's head was made of iron, it couldn't withstand Jiang Yunfan's fists. It was beaten into submission and no longer restless.

This scene shocked Lu Yun. The Young Lord's strength was so great that he actually subdued the Jiaolin Horse.

Jiang Yunfan rode the Jiaolin Horse away, and Lu Yun quickly said, "Young Lord, the Jiaolin Horse cannot be ridden out."

Jiang Yunfan pretended not to hear and quickly disappeared from sight.

"It's over."

The Jiaolin Horse was a horse Young Master Ji Qiang had taken a fancy to. Now that the Jiaolin Horse had been ridden away by the Young Lord, once Young Master Ji Qiang found out, his life would be in danger.

He could only hope the Young Lord would return soon.

Jiang Yunfan riding away on the Jiaolin Horse was seen by Ji Family Members.

"Isn't that the matrilocal son-in-law Jiang Yunfan? He subdued the Jiaolin Horse."

"The Jiaolin Horse was taken a fancy to by Ji Qiang. Jiang Yunfan dares to snatch a horse Ji Qiang liked. This matrilocal son-in-law is in for a tough time."

Soon, Jiang Yunfan rode out of Tianqi City. He sped up. The Jiaolin Horse was extremely fast, describable as lightning-fast.

Tianqi City was over a thousand li from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

If he rode any other horse, he wouldn't reach Ten Thousand Beast Mountain in a day.

Jiang Yunfan was riding the Jiaolin Horse, which could travel ten thousand li a day, so he could reach Ten Thousand Beast Mountain in just over an hour.

An hour later.

Jiang Yunfan arrived at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

A year ago, he had come to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain with the younger generation of the Jiang Family for training.

Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was overrun with Yao Beasts and extremely dangerous.

Jiang Yunfan searched for the purple bauhinia grass according to the System map, finding that the purple bauhinia grass was on a cliff, no wonder no one had found it for a thousand years.

He rode his horse into Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

The Jiaolin Horse still moved as if on flat ground in the mountain forest. Although its speed was much slower, it was still much faster than a person walking.

【Today's Intelligence (white): The Sixth Prince of Great Zhou is under attack from a ninth-rank Yao Beast, the Crimson Flame Tiger. Saving him will earn his favor (map has been transmitted).】

Save my ass!

Jiang Yunfan wasn't so bored as to go save someone.

Immediately after, the System transmitted another piece of intelligence.

【Today's Intelligence (red): The Sixth Prince of Great Zhou possesses great Luck and will receive the blessing of Imperial Dragon Qi. He will also enter an immortal sect in the future.】

"Imperial Dragon Qi."

"When one sees injustice, one must draw one's saber to help."

Jiang Yunfan opened the map, found the location, and immediately rode his horse south.

A few li away.

Two people were under attack from a ninth-rank Yao Beast, the Crimson Flame Tiger, looking very disheveled. Around them were several charred corpses.

"Your Highness, hurry and go."

The guard, Tie Feng, slashed out with his saber. A Saber Qi over ten meters long slashed towards the Crimson Flame Tiger. The Crimson Flame Tiger quickly dodged the Saber Qi, which cut a dozens-meter-long saber mark on the ground, destroying the surrounding trees.

Li Ji immediately broke away and fled.

The Crimson Flame Tiger opened its mouth and spewed flames, incinerating Tie Feng. Tie Feng used his True Qi to protect his body and resist the flames, but his protective True Qi was quickly burned away by the flames.

Ah!

A scream echoed.

Tie Feng was burned alive.

The Crimson Flame Tiger pursued Li Ji in the direction he had fled.

Li Ji, who was fleeing, was greatly alarmed when he heard Tie Feng's scream. He sped up his escape.

Just then, Jiang Yunfan rode up. Li Ji was overjoyed to see him. "I am Li Ji, the Sixth Prince of Great Zhou. I hope you will save me, and I will surely repay you handsomely."

"Get on the horse."

Jiang Yunfan reached out and pulled Li Ji onto the horse.

Roar!

A tiger's roar echoed through the forest.

The Crimson Flame Tiger was pursuing them.

The Jiaolin Horse was so scared it immediately fled.

"May I know your name, brother?"

"My name is Jiang Yunfan."

"You are a Jiang Family Member from Tai'an?"

"I used to be a Jiang Family Member, but now I'm a matrilocal son-in-law in the Ji Family and a Ji Family Member."

Li Ji had heard of this matter and asked in confusion, "Wasn't it Young Master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Beixuan, who was supposed to be the matrilocal son-in-law in the Ji Family? How did it become you?"

Jiang Yunfan said, "He wasn't willing to be the matrilocal son-in-law, so it fell to me, didn't it?"

Li Ji understood, knowing that Jiang Yunfan was forced to be a matrilocal son-in-law in the Ji Family. Matrilocal sons-in-law were looked down upon, so Jiang Yunfan's life in the Ji Family must not be easy. He knew how to repay his life-saving grace.

Howl!

A wolf howl came.

Li Ji's expression changed. "Oh no, it's the Gale Demon Wolves."

Jiang Yunfan knew that Gale Demon Wolves were pack animals, and this meant trouble.
