"Damn, this kid is such a spendthrift! He smashed a jade ruyi worth 900 million after buying it?"

"Wait, something's not right... What is that?"

As the jade ruyi shattered into pieces, a thumb-sized, crystal-clear piece of jade radiating a warm yellow glow appeared before everyone.

Chen Xiao held the amber-colored warm jade in his hand and sneered at Xu Banxian, "You old bastard, this is what you were after, wasn't it!"

Xu Banxian's eyes were venomous as he asked through gritted teeth, "Boy, how did you find out?"

Before Chen Xiao could reply, someone suddenly cried out in surprise, "Is that a Xuanhuang (Mystic Yellow) Jade Embryo?!"

"What, a Xuanhuang Jade Embryo? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Of course, I'm not mistaken. My grandmaster had a magical artifact forged from a Xuanhuang Jade Embryo. How could I not recognize it?"

Exclamations arose one after another.

Huang Lao's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the warm jade in Chen Xiao's hand, finally realizing the truth.

"No wonder Mr. Chen bid on this useless jade ruyi; he must have discovered the Xuanhuang Jade Embryo inside!"

Only Hua Ge looked lost, not understanding why everyone was so shocked.

In his opinion, the jade was indeed a beautiful piece of jade.

However, no matter how good the jade was, it wasn't worth 900 million, was it? Chen Xiao seemed to have lost out!

As an ordinary person, he naturally didn't know what the Xuanhuang Jade Embryo meant!

At this moment, Xu Banxian suddenly grinned hideously and said coldly, "Boy, you're right. I knew all along that there was a Xuanhuang Jade Embryo in this jade ruyi that could be used to forge a magical artifact, so I tried every possible means to get it!"

In an instant, a greedy light flickered in everyone's eyes.

Those masters of sorcery no longer felt like bystanders just watching the show.

Xu Banxian's words drew everyone in.

Simply because this Xuanhuang Jade Embryo was too precious!

In short, a Xuanhuang Jade Embryo could be used to forge a magical artifact.

And the scarcity of magical artifacts was more than a hundred times greater than that of magic tools!

Because magical artifacts and magic tools were essentially different things.

Magic tools needed to be driven by spiritual energy to activate the formation symbols in order to achieve specific effects.

However, magical artifacts didn't need to be activated by spiritual energy at all.

After being refined, magical artifacts would become a part of their owner.

They didn't require spiritual energy to drive them; they were connected by mind and as easy to use as one's own limbs.

Moreover, there was a fundamental difference between magical artifacts and magic tools. Magic tools were dead objects; they could only be used for what they were made for.

But magical artifacts, in a sense, were alive. They could grow and even develop their own sentience.

For example, Chen Xiao's Yin-Yang Jade was a spiritual magical artifact. However, Chen Xiao couldn't say that he was the master of the Yin-Yang Jade; it was more like the Yin-Yang Jade had chosen Chen Xiao and was guiding him.

But if this Xuanhuang Jade Embryo were used to forge a magical artifact, it would be completely different. Chen Xiao could completely control it.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao discovered the existence of this Xuanhuang Jade Embryo with his divine sense, he was determined to obtain it!

He wasn't the only one with this idea.

Originally, there was also Xu Banxian besides Chen Xiao, but now, there were also a group of other masters of sorcery.

They were all drooling over this Xuanhuang Jade Embryo.

Even Huang Lao, if he didn't know how powerful Chen Xiao was, he would probably have already made a move.

"Boy, I don't know if you've heard a saying, 'A common man is guilty of possessing a treasure!'"

Xu Banxian narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xiao, "With your abilities, you're not worthy of possessing this Xuanhuang Jade Embryo. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, lest you bring about your own death!"

"Give it to you?"

Chen Xiao smiled teasingly, "If I give it to you, with your abilities, can you protect it?"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao's gaze swept over the group of restless masters of sorcery.

Although they hadn't spoken yet, their intentions were completely clear.

They were like a pack of wolves lying in wait.

However, unlike a pack of wolves,

A pack of wolves was a united whole, but they were fighting on their own, each wanting to possess the Xuanhuang Jade Embryo!

Xu Banxian could naturally hear the meaning in Chen Xiao's words, and he smiled faintly, "Then you don't have to worry about it. As long as you're willing to give me the Xuanhuang Jade Embryo, I naturally have my ways, and you can save your little life!"

Chen Xiao laughed, "What if I don't give it to you?"

"Don't give it to me? Boy, what makes you think you have a choice? You don't think that old man Huang can protect you, do you?"

Xu Banxian glanced at Huang Lao contemptuously.

Huang Lao didn't say anything. This old fox was very cunning. He was just watching Xu Banxian courting death, but he didn't say a word of warning.

"If you want the jade embryo, show some real skills. Just talking won't do!"

Chen Xiao's lips curled up, as if he didn't realize his current situation at all.

"Boy, you forced me to do this!"

Xu Banxian said through gritted teeth. Before the words were even finished, he suddenly sprang backward, followed by a loud roar.

"Go to hell!"

Xu Banxian's magic was unleashed, and a whistling baleful aura took shape, swirling in the air like a raging wind as it charged towards Chen Xiao!

This baleful aura was colorless and formless, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, but its power was not to be underestimated.

Xu Banxian lived in a cemetery all year round, and his spiritual energy was condensed from the yin qi of the dead, extremely insidious. Anyone who was contaminated by this baleful aura would immediately disrupt the balance of vitality in their body.

So in just an instant, an extremely cold feeling enveloped the entire space.

People like Hua Ge and He Xinwu, ordinary people, were already shivering.

"Six Unities of Evil! Kill!"

Xu Banxian's hand shape changed, and he quickly formed a hand seal.

That yin baleful aura transformed into a gang qi (protective energy) as sharp as mud, sweeping towards Chen Xiao.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xu Banxian's mouth. In his opinion, Chen Xiao was already a dead man.

However, what happened next stunned him and made him look as if he had seen a ghost.

Chen Xiao slightly opened his mouth, and the yin baleful gang qi instantly turned into a small whirlwind, which Chen Xiao swallowed into his mouth.

The whole scene was like a dragon sucking water!

"This, this, this is impossible!"

Xu Banxian was dumbfounded.

And after a moment, Chen Xiao sucked all the yin baleful gang qi into his body.

He smacked his lips and said with a hint of regret, "Is there any more? I haven't had enough!"

Xu Banxian's mind buzzed, and the only thought that followed was.

Run! Run now! As far as possible!

This kid, he is not human!

Noticing Xu Banxian's intention, Chen Xiao's eyes burned with fire, and he grinned hideously.

"Want to run? Too late!"
