CHAPTER NINETEEN: Amethyst Jade Marrow
The jade pendant was entirely purple, resembling the color of the purple clouds that appear just as the sun rises on the horizon! At first glance, one could tell that this unusual purple was not a color that should belong to the mortal realm!
At the moment it was revealed from Meng Chaoran's palm, the jade suddenly radiated brilliant light under the sunlight! It seemed as if all the purple hues in the world were concentrated here!
This was a piece of treasure!
Upon seeing it, Chu Yang came to this conclusion in his heart. In his previous life, he had traveled across the world and seen countless rare treasures, and countless exquisite jades, but few could compare to this tiny piece.
"This jade is Amethyst Jade Marrow," Meng Chaoran said quietly. "Although it looks small, it is an extremely complete piece of jade marrow! This kind of Amethyst Jade Marrow is hard to come by in ten thousand years. A hundred excellent jades would not be worth even one piece of Amethyst Jade! Only in the center of a ten-thousand-year-old Amethyst jade mine could there be a minuscule chance of discovering a piece of jade marrow!"
"The value of this Amethyst Jade Marrow is unmatched in the world!" Meng Chaoran slowly turned around. "When I found you, this jade marrow was hanging around your neck!"
His gaze was as sharp as lightning, fixed on Chu Yang's face, making Chu Yang feel a strong burning sensation on his cheeks.
Chu Yang swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a dryness in his throat. He extended his hand to take the priceless Amethyst Jade Marrow, and his usually steady hand trembled slightly.
This was his only identity token?
"At the center of this jade marrow, there is a character 'Chu' carved into it," Meng Chaoran said slowly. "The surface of the jade marrow is completely undamaged, but there is this character inside. Such cultivation, I, as your master, couldn’t even begin to approach; it is absolutely impossible for me to do it!"
"The character 'Chu' could either be your name or your surname," Meng Chaoran sighed softly. "When I carried you out of there and climbed to the top of a mountain, the sky suddenly cleared, the dark night had just passed, and in the east, a sun appeared."
He paused and added, "Just like today, at this very moment!"
"The rising sun was my greatest love in life! So at that moment, I named you Chu Yang!" Meng Chaoran's voice was somewhat hoarse. Although his tone was calm, there seemed to be a surging magma roaring beneath that calm…
"I hope you do not live up to the name Chu Yang. Do not let down this piece of Amethyst Jade Marrow!" Meng Chaoran took a deep breath, his emotions immediately calming down. "Your origins should not be ordinary. If you continue to act as mediocre as before, I will not give you this jade marrow."
"In fact, I hope you live a mediocre life," Meng Chaoran said softly. "But with peace." He did not turn around, but his eyes revealed deep feelings. Like a father who has endured hardships, he only hopes for his son’s safety and has no extravagant hopes for wealth and power.
For in wealth and power, there are always corresponding risks. Parents do not wish their children to take even the slightest risks.
Chu Yang listened quietly. He did not interrupt.
But in his heart, there were massive waves surging.
Meng Chaoran's words completely disrupted his emotions. This seemed to be just a straightforward account of Chu Yang's origins, but Chu Yang could tell that there was too much information hidden within those words.
Amethyst Jade Marrow. Priceless and rare in the world!
With a character inside and no damage to the surface. Amethyst jade itself is difficult to harm with swords, and it also has the effect of avoiding true energy. Even the innate holy power of the holy clan cannot damage it. Naturally, Amethyst Jade Marrow is even more formidable!
Even a martial sovereign would find it hard to leave marks on it. Let alone leave characters etched within the jade!
Could it be that the one who carved this character was a sovereign? Or something higher?
