Keep Pushing Forward

A piece of Spirit Jade was precious, but Zhang Xuezhou was not someone who couldn't afford to lose one.

For one thing, he had obtained his Spirit Jade through somewhat improper means, so he couldn't use such illicit goods openly.

For another, this was far from the first time Zhang Xuezhou had damaged a piece of Spirit Jade. What would have felt like the sky falling to someone else was merely "another piece of Spirit Jade gone" to him.

It looked like a great loss, but Zhang Xuezhou had also indirectly gained two extremely useful pieces of information.

The first was that the Purple-Gold Gourd needed to use the Green Rock Wooden Staff as a bridge to draw from Spirit Jade before it could refine anything inside the gourd.

The second was that the Green Rock Wooden Staff could seek out Spirit Jade in the earth's veins and draw Spiritual Qi from it.

The bad news was that his own Spirit Jade had been destroyed. The good news was that Zhang Xuezhou was not the only person in the world with Spirit Jade. If he found out whose Spirit Jade was hidden in the soil, he could use the Green Rock Wooden Staff and the Purple-Gold Gourd to reduce it to ashes.

Holding the grayish-white Spirit Jade, which looked like a stone, Zhang Xuezhou turned many thoughts over in his head.

"Cousin, so we tested that Yi Shuo's treasure for her, and our own Spirit Jade got destroyed?"

Standing in the cellar, Rong Tianding found the whole affair hard to understand and felt as though heaven and earth had collapsed.

It was a bit like a poor young man receiving a car from a rich relative, only to wreck it after driving it twice, leaving nothing but an empty shell.
