Chapter 6 — The Secret Behind the Jade

“The Fire element's spiritual roots are both pure and powerful, rare!” Even Van Triet Immortal Venerable, who had always closed his eyes to rest, at this moment opened his eyes slightly, his gaze stopping on that young man. That person's name is Tieu Viem, and he comes from a famous cultivator family. As expected, he was accepted as a disciple on the spot by an inner sect elder famous for his ability to control fire. An outstanding step, fame throughout the school. I looked at that young man shining brightly, but there was no wavering in my heart. Just instinctively raised his hand to touch the jade piece on his chest. It's quiet again. After the grand ceremony, the spirit beast park became even busier. New disciples need spirit beasts to move around, and old and weak spirit beasts that are eliminated must have someone take care of them. The manager definitely entrusted the care of Lao Thanh to me. "Anyway, he's about to die, so you should take care of him and give him a proper send-off! Don't get someone else's hands dirty!" – he frowned and waved his hand. I know, he felt unlucky. Lao Thanh's condition is getting worse day by day. Most of the time it just lies there unconscious, breathing weakly. The sadness in my heart gets heavier every day. That afternoon, I carried a bucket of clean water, intending to wash Lao Thanh's body. Just reached the barn door. Then inside, an arrogant, stubborn voice rang out: "This old horse is an eyesore! Taking up space, and it's also rotten! Manager Truong, quickly take it away!" I was startled and quickly walked in. Only saw two people standing in the barn. One person, manager Truong, bowed his head in obeisance. The remaining person — is the emerging genius, Tieu Viem! He was dressed in brand new inner sect clothes, with a towering aura, and an undisguised disgust on his face. He was pointing at Lao Thanh - the old horse cowering in the corner of the stable, barely breathing. "Tieu... Uncle Tieu!" As soon as Manager Truong saw me, he quickly called out, "Tham Vi! You came at the right time! Uncle Tieu wants to use this cage to keep the newly acquired Liet Diem Cau! Quickly clean up this old horse! Find somewhere to bury it!" "Bury?" Tieu Viem sneered, his disdainful eyes swept over Lao Thanh, "This old guy smells of death, the ground is still dirty when buried! In my opinion, just drag it up behind the mountain and throw it into the cemetery, letting wild dogs chew on it is the easiest way!" "You!" I was so angry that I was shaking all over, blocking in front of Lao Thanh, looking at Tieu Viem angrily, "He's not dead yet!" "Not dead yet?" He laughed as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, looking at me from head to toe, his eyes even more disdainful, "A housekeeping disciple still dares to argue with inner sect master uncle? Are you tired of living?" The breath on his body suddenly became hot, suffocating him! A wave of heat like a wave of fire hit me straight in the face! I felt my chest constricted, as if I was being burned alive, having difficulty breathing to the point of collapsing. "Uncle Tieu, calm down! Stop being angry!" Manager Truong was so scared that his face turned pale. He pushed me in panic, "Tham Vi! Do you really want to die?! Don't apologize to Master Tieu quickly! Clean up this trash now!" I was pushed backwards and hit the wooden railing. The piece of jade on my chest suddenly became hot! A strong stream of anger came through the link! Not mine — but the pearl's! It's angry! At that moment, Tieu Viem seemed to have lost patience. He snorted coldly: "The thing that gets in the way!" As soon as he finished speaking, his finger shot out a bright red flame carrying a dangerous aura. He intended to burn Lao Thanh alive on the spot! “Don't——!” My eyes were red, I didn't have time to think, I rushed forward, intending to use my body to block the fire! But with my speed, how could it be faster than a monk? In the blink of an eye, that fire was about to fall on Lao Thanh's old body! Thousand-pound moment

hanging by a thread— Time, as if stopped. The fire stopped completely in mid-air, standing still and motionless. The arrogant expression on Tieu Viem's face, the fearful flattering smile of manager Truong... were all frozen. Even the dust in the air floats, not falling. A cold, indescribable noble aura, as if coming from the nine heavens, covered the entire animal cage. I still maintained my posture and rushed forward, stiffly turning my head. I just saw in front of the barn door, I don't know when, a figure appeared. The long robe is moonlight white, and the black hair is tied with a jade hairpin. Van Triet Immortal Venerable. He stood there quietly, his expression was indifferent, his eyes faintly swept over the frozen fire, over Tieu Viem, over Manager Truong... Finally, his eyes stopped on my face. Then... it seemed to stop very briefly at my chest - where the jade piece was. Then he entered. As soon as he set foot in the cage— The space began to move again. Phew. The fire quietly extinguished in the air, leaving no smoke behind. "Tien... Tien Venerable!" Tieu Viem's face immediately turned white as paper, he fell to the ground with a thud, his whole body shaking like a leaf. Manager Truong collapsed straight down, so scared that his tongue was stiff and he couldn't say a word. Van Triet Immortal Venerable did not bother to glance at them. He walked straight in front of Lao Thanh. As if sensing something, Lao Thanh weakly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes trying to see the person standing in front of him. Tien Ton raised his hand, his fingertips converging a ray of transparent white light, so pure that it was almost invisible. He gently touched the middle of Lao Thanh's forehead with his finger. Its body, visible to the naked eye, slowly relaxed. The painful expression on his face gradually disappeared, and a trace of gentleness and serenity even appeared in his cloudy eyes. He looked at me one last time, then slowly, peacefully closed his eyes. Breathing... completely stopped. I looked at it bewilderedly, tears suddenly flowing from my eyes and I couldn't stop them. Tien Ton retracted his hand, the white light at his fingertips also disappeared. He turned around, his eyes finally falling on Tieu Viem - who was now kneeling on the ground shaking like a leaf. Those eyes were very pale.
