C4 Jade Marrow

At that moment, Ye Tianxin and the two thieves were all utterly shocked.

How could a fired bullet be knocked down in mid-air?

This was something no one had ever seen or heard of before!

All three looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.

Could any regular person do such a thing?

Shaking off his confusion, the thief realized Chu Tian was a master. He had to act fast or face deadly consequences.

So, the thief quickly pulled the trigger again, aiming at Chu Tian.

But this time, Chu Tian vanished and reappeared right in front of him.

He was gripping the muzzle of the gun.

In a flash, Chu Tian destroyed the gun, causing the fired bullet to explode within.

The gun was now smoking and useless.

"You want to attack me?" Chu Tian asked.

With a cold snort, he kicked both the thief and his companion into a hard wall. Their fate was unclear.

"Thank you for saving me," said Ye Tianxin, struggling to her feet.

Earlier, she had been kicked hard by the thief, and the impact was tough even for her.

Chu Tian looked at her without a word, appearing indifferent.

Ye Tianxin was known in Qingzhou City as a beauty and an outstanding disciple. She was the dream girl for many.

Yet, Chu Tian remained unimpressed, even when she announced her name.

Considering his skills, his aloofness wasn't surprising.

"Could you show me the jade pendant you're wearing?" Chu Tian finally asked, breaking the silence.

"Of course!"

Ye Tianxin hesitated briefly before removing her jade pendant and handing it to Chu Tian.

The pendant was personal, but Chu Tian had saved her life. Besides, Ye Tianxin wasn't one to dwell on material things.

As the jade landed in his hand, Chu Tian sensed a delicate fragrance. He took a calming breath and carefully examined the jade.

He felt a mix of surprise and a bit of regret.

This was no ordinary jade; it was a Jade Marrow, a high-quality type of jade.

The Jade Marrow was abundant in pure natural energy and an excellent material for making magical artifacts. Chu Tian knew it would take him at least ten years to reach higher levels of cultivation given the current low energy levels on Earth.

He didn't want to wait that long.

Earlier, Chu Tian considered making a small artifact that would gather surrounding energy to speed up his cultivation.

But to make such an artifact, he needed the right materials.

Ordinary jade couldn't handle the magical requirements, but Jade Marrow could.

The Jade Marrow he held wasn't of the best quality, but it was all he had for now.

"Would you like to keep this jade?" Ye Tianxin offered, wanting to form a friendship with Chu Tian, an expert in his field.

She was confident that her grandfather would approve.

"Does your family have more of this jade? Could you show me?" Chu Tian was intrigued.

Money and beauty no longer interested him.

Cultivation was his only passion now.

If Ye Tianxin's family possessed high-quality Jade Marrow, Chu Tian was determined to acquire a piece.

He couldn't afford to lose in the foundational stage of his cultivation; that would mean more effort required later on.

"Of course, please follow me!"

Ye Tianxin was delighted to know an expert like Chu Tian. If he agreed to come to her home, their relationship would surely deepen.

Excited by the thought, Ye Tianxin quickly invited Chu Tian to her family's home.

She had already alerted her family about the situation. They would handle it, especially interrogating the two unconscious thieves to find out who was behind the crimes.

The Ye Family was known for their military background. The current head, Ye Zhan, was a retired soldier with an impressive record that continued to be celebrated in the army.

Ye Zhan had two sons: the elder, Ye Anbang, followed in his father's military footsteps.

While the younger, Ye Zhenguo, was a successful businessman who controlled a significant portion of Qingzhou City's economy.

The achievements of Ye Zhan's sons were well-known in Qingzhou.

As a result, the Ye Family held a dominant position in the city.

Ye Tianxin, Ye Anbang's daughter, was a spirited woman deeply influenced by her family's legacy.

Led by Ye Tianxin, Chu Tian quickly arrived at the Ye Family mansion.

Chu Tian had heard of the Ye Family before, but he had never been in direct contact due to their high status.

On arriving at the Ye Family mansion, he felt like he had entered a fortress rather than a simple home.

It was a small city!

While waiting in the living room, an energetic white-haired man walked out.

This old man was followed by three people. In addition to Ye Tianxin, there was also a lovely-looking woman.

Chu Tian could guess that this old man was the legendary Ye Zhan from Ye Tianxin's respectful manner towards this old man.

"Hello, Mr. Chu! I am Ye Zhan, thank you for saving Ye Tianxin!" Ye Zhan cupped his hands and said,

Ye Tianxin had briefed her grandfather on what had transpired. Knowing that Chu Tian was a martial artist, Ye Zhan decided to express his gratitude using the traditional customs and etiquette of the martial arts community.

Chu Tian stood up and respectfully returned the gesture.

Even though Chu Tian had limited knowledge of the Ye Family in his past life, he was familiar with the reputation of Old Master Ye.

This was a form of respect that went beyond power or position; it was a sense of patriotism.
