Chapter 54: Eternal Double Fish Pendant

This group of young masters naturally did not obediently let Jiang Xincheng rob them. Although they had lost Huang Bin, their strongest member, there were still more than ten of them left, and they had more than ten weapons.

Two fists were no match for four hands. They did not believe that so many of them could not kill Jiang Xincheng, a Primordial Warrior only at the Mid Tendon-Training Stage.

Therefore, the young masters ignored Jiang Xincheng’s words. Wielding knives, swords, and steel pipes, they howled and charged at him. Facing them, Jiang Xincheng curled his lips into a smile and raised his fists to charge forward.

Shifting his steps, he easily dodged the incoming weapons. As his fists swung, the young masters were sent flying into the air, one after another.

The surging Primordial Force within him was more than twice as abundant and slightly purer than that of Huang Bin, the strongest among these young masters. Not to mention, Jiang Xincheng’s strength exceeded two thousand jin, far surpassing these young men.

Even without considering his combat experience and the power of his Mountain-Shaking Fist, facing this group of usually lazy young masters, Jiang Xincheng was like a tiger among sheep. Wherever he passed, no one could withstand a single blow.

After advancing to the Mid Tendon-Training Stage, Jiang Xincheng’s strength had increased significantly. If he were still at the Early Tendon Refining Stage, dealing with so many young masters would have required some effort.

But now, having reached the Mid Tendon-Training Stage, especially with the help of that Mutated Yuan Crystal, his strength had more than doubled, making him unstoppable against these young masters.

It could even be said that in the Tendon Training Realm, Jiang Xincheng was nearly invincible.

In just one minute, dozens of young masters lay beaten on the ground. Some had broken legs, some had broken arms, and they groaned, unable to get up.

“This road was opened by me, these trees were planted by me. To pass through here, leave your money behind!”

Jiang Xincheng repeated these words mockingly. The young masters no longer objected. Screaming in pain, they hurriedly handed over their money and Yuan Crystals to Jiang Xincheng.

Soon, Jiang Xincheng’s anonymous Huarui Alliance bank card gained an additional 200,000 Credit Points. These young masters were not as wealthy as he had imagined, which disappointed him somewhat.

Fortunately, besides the 200,000 Credit Points, Jiang Xincheng also obtained more than twenty Yuan Crystals. Combined with those he had robbed on the train earlier, he now had a total of thirty Yuan Crystals, equivalent to 300,000 Credit Points.

Jiang Xincheng’s assets had reached an unprecedented 500,000 Credit Points, enough to buy a small apartment of a few dozen square meters in Tianhai City. Robbery was indeed the fastest way to make money.

A bright smile spread across his face. Without paying attention to the young masters lying on the ground, Jiang Xincheng walked toward Bei Yaya, who was tied up tightly.

Seeing Jiang Xincheng approach, Bei Yaya’s delicate face also broke into a bright smile. She nodded vigorously at him, clearly asking him to save her.

Jiang Xincheng did not disappoint her. He untied the ropes binding her and rescued her.

“Thank you, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have been done for this time,” Bei Yaya expressed her gratitude. However, Jiang Xincheng’s response left her stunned.

Jiang Xincheng smiled and pinched her delicate cheek. Coldly, he said, “Don’t get too familiar, beautiful. This road was opened by me, these trees were planted by me. To pass through here, leave your money behind.”

“Uh…” Bei Yaya was taken aback. Then, her face flushed slightly, and she nodded. “If it weren’t for you, I would have died and suffered greatly. What do you want? I can give it to you right away. How many Credit Points do you want?”

“I don’t want Credit Points,” Jiang Xincheng shook his head and reached for the pendant around Bei Yaya’s neck. “I want this pendant.”

“This…” Bei Yaya’s face turned red, but she did not stop him. She allowed Jiang Xincheng to take the pendant from her neck. “This is a mutton-fat jade pendant I bought for 9,999,999 Credit Points. Two fish facing each other, symbolizing eternity. It aids cultivation, calms the mind, and helps prevent deviation. Since you want it, take it.” There was one thing Bei Yaya did not say: this Double Fish Pendant was part of a pair. One she wore, and the other was kept at home, reserved as a gift for her future partner.

Bei Yaya’s words gave Jiang Xincheng pause. He faintly understood something. 9,999,999—wasn’t that “eternity”?

As for the double fish, not to mention, and “eternity”—these meanings made Jiang Xincheng’s face grow warm. But soon, the warmth faded. Jiang Xincheng’s thick skin was unprecedented; a little ambiguous meaning was nothing to worry about.

What Jiang Xincheng valued was the Double Fish Pendant’s ability to aid cultivation. High-quality mutton-fat jade pendants helped Primordial Warriors cultivate and avoid deviation, making them valuable treasures he could not currently afford.

The main reason he saved Bei Yaya was for the pendant around her neck. With this Double Fish Pendant, his future cultivation would speed up, his strength would progress faster, and the risk of deviation would decrease.

He had not expected the pendant to carry other meanings, but Jiang Xincheng paid no mind. After a brief hesitation, he hung the pendant around his own neck and calmly walked deeper into the forest. “Thank you for the pendant. Tonight has been a fruitful night. Thank you, everyone.”

“Can you tell me your name?” Just then, Bei Yaya’s soft, charming voice came from behind, stirring something in his heart.

Jiang Xincheng waved his hand. “We met by chance. No need to leave a name. Besides, I robbed you. To avoid you seeking revenge, it’s better not to leave a name. Goodbye, beautiful. Haha…”

Amid his laughter, Jiang Xincheng disappeared. Bei Yaya watched him leave with a sense of loss, her exquisitely painted face showing clear disappointment and confusion.

But soon, the disappointment and confusion turned into a smile. A sly look crossed Bei Yaya’s face. “How could I not leave a mark on such a precious and meaningful Double Fish Pendant? Little brother, we’ll meet again soon. You are my prey. And since the hero saved the beauty, how could the beauty not offer herself in return? Heehee.”

Jiang Xincheng, who had already entered the depths of the forest, did not see the cunning smile on Bei Yaya’s face. Nor did he expect that an old-timer like him, with decades of experience, would stumble in a small ditch and be tricked by Bei Yaya. When she appeared before him again, who knew how he would feel?

For now, Jiang Xincheng was happily playing with the Double Fish Pendant on his chest, unaware that it had already been tampered with.
