Chapter 30 Phoenix Jade Pendant
"Deng deng deng..."
The maid knocked on the door and waited for a response before coming in with a plate.
"You two, these are the items you bought at the auction. Please keep them properly."
The maid gently placed the tray on the exquisite coffee table, bowed slightly, and left the room.
On the tray was the ancient box and a space ring.
Chen Yan used his mental power to detect it briefly, and after finding that it was correct, he shifted his attention to the box.
The box is ancient and mysterious, made of dark wood, with intricate and exquisite phoenix patterns carved on the surface. You can tell from the looks of it that what it contains is very high-end and absolutely extraordinary, but no one knows where this thing came from.
"Open it." Gu Yuena stood aside and said to Chen Yan.
He nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the box. The moment the lid was opened, a faint light shone from the box, shining on Chen Yan's face, making the curiosity and expectation in his eyes more obvious. (This is - Golden Legend!)
The delicate box was covered with a layer of soft red velvet, and in the center lay an ancient jade pendant. The jade pendant was round, and carved with a flying phoenix. The phoenix's eyes were inlaid with two tiny gems, and even though most of the light was blocked by the box, it still shone with a mysterious light.
Gu Yuena gently picked up the jade pendant and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this jade pendant to appear on this planet, but I should have thought that it would be here, otherwise there would not be soul beasts like the phoenix."
Chen Yan looked at the jade pendant and roughly understood what Gu Yuena wanted to express. Was this jade pendant the origin of the Phoenix on Douluo Star? His thoughts wandered in the abyss of history, trying to piece together the fragments of this mysterious story.
First, Gu Yuena recognized this jade pendant, and its level was definitely not bad even among the god-level ones; second, the phoenix has always been on par with the real dragon. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the phoenix was one of the few soul beasts that could truly compete with the real dragon, and Gu Yuena said that this was the origin of the phoenix on Douluo Star. It can be said that its bloodline level is extremely high, possibly comparable to the Dragon King level; finally, there were rumors on the Internet that the phoenix was killed by the Dragon God, and the setting that the two were comparable in status, which was not sure whether it was true or not. After all, he had only finished watching Douluo III and Tang Heroes of the Tang Sect, and didn't know a lot.
Gu Yuena's gaze quietly turned to Chen Yan who was lost in thought, with a deep smile flashing in her eyes, she continued to ask.
"Do you know who this jade pendant belongs to?"
Chen Yan was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Is it yours?"
She shook her head slightly, with a mysterious smile on her lips: "No, this is yours."
"Mine?" Chen Yan's voice was filled with surprise and confusion. Mine? The one he left behind?!
"That's right. When the Dragon God killed the Phoenix, you said that since the Phoenix was useless to him, he collected its blood and used it to nourish this jade pendant."
Is he so coquettish? He is sucking its blood even when others are dead. He is really inhuman! Chen Yan deeply despised him in his heart, not knowing whether it was the future or the past.
Why didn't you leave some for me when you used it to warm the jade pendant? Don't you know I'm very poor? You're still living off me!
Chen Yan looked unhappy and cursed in his heart.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, it has already become a pseudo-super artifact." Gu Yuena sighed. Although it was the Dragon God who witnessed those events, she was also a participant in them!
When Chen Yan heard this, he automatically accepted the key words.
What? A fake super artifact!
Oh my God, I am worthy of being me. I have been planning for thousands of years, just waiting for my rebirth to inherit his legacy. What a good man!
Chen Yan sighed in his heart for a while, and then felt that he might have exaggerated a bit.
"Cough cough cough, um..." He coughed in his heart for a while, and then thought expressionlessly: Relax your mind, maybe my future self already knew what I was going to do, and prepared in advance to pave the way for myself.
Although Chen Yan's inner drama was rich, his face remained calm, and then he couldn't help but smile slightly (We ordinary people are so happy today! So, so happy!).
"So, how should I use it?" Chen Yan tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, but his voice was unconsciously filled with anticipation.
"I don't know what its specific functions are, but since you made it, you should try it yourself."
"Try it yourself?"
Chen Yan thought about it and released his mental power, but was blocked by the hazy halo it emitted. Chen Yan: …
Damn, this thing is really stupid, doesn't it know how to identify mental power? He is really stupid, he even built a security wall for it!
He stretched out his right hand, and his left hand turned into a dragon claw and scratched it, and a drop of blood slid down the wound.
"Tick tock..."
The blood dripped onto the jade pendant, making a crisp sound. Then, something strange happened. The drop of blood seemed to be absorbed by the jade pendant and disappeared. Then, the jade pendant began to emit a faint light.
The light gradually became stronger and finally formed a dazzling ball of light.
Chen Yan watched this scene intently. He felt the warm power coming from the jade pendant, which seemed to have some kind of wonderful connection with him. The power was responding to his blood, and the light on the jade pendant flickered with the frequency of Chen Yan's heartbeat.
So, it flashed like this for a long time, and there was no other movement.
Gu Yuena was a little confused. She looked at Chen Yan's expression and felt like nothing had happened, so she asked.
"Did you feel anything?"
What did Chen Yan feel? He felt his eyes were almost dry!
No, you're kidding me!
Let me and Gu Yuena stand for a long time and watch you shine!
Just as Chen Yan was indignant and blinked inadvertently, the next moment, the scenery in front of him was extremely different.
This is a golden space, with a man wearing imperial armor standing in the middle.
Chen Yan: …
No, how did you get in? Are you serious?
The two looked at each other in silence, but it was obvious that Chen Yan had been staring blankly outside for a long time and now he didn't really want to continue staring at this person who looked like himself.
So he chose to ask a simple question.
"How did I get in?"
"I pulled you in." He answered calmly.
But for some reason, Chen Yan felt that the gaze under his armor was definitely not one of appreciation or praise.
He frowned, looking a little confused, "Then why did you take so long to bring me in?"
The other party chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Because you blinked."
"Blink?"
"Yeah, if you don't blink, I'll pull you in. How abrupt it will seem!"
Faced with this answer, Chen Yan remained silent.
Let me go, I will absolutely, absolutely chop him up! (No one is pulling him back, this is a non-realistic performance.)
