e of immense power, coursing through my entire being!!Bai Ran's whole body twitched, his eyelids flew wildly, and he almost fainted.And Fang Yu frowned slightly, grabbing Bai Ran's shoulder with his r..."The Great Temple What is that place" Fang Yu asked, frowning.

"Haven't you heard of the Great Temple It's the most famous landmark in Dongdu," Cao Gongzi said, glancing at Fang Yu. "Even if you're not from Dongdu, you should have heard of it."

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I rarely go out, so I haven't heard of it."

"Mister Cao, we've heard of the Grand Temple, but isn't that just a tourist attraction What use is the key" asked the middle-aged man beside him.

"When you usually go to the Great Temple, you can only walk around outside and take pictures, right" Cao Gongzi gave the middle-aged man a glance and said, "With the key, of course, you can open the door to the Great Temple and go inside!"

"The interior of the Great Sage Temple... isn't that still an attraction How could martial artists from Dongdu's martial arts world be attracted by such a reward" another man wondered.

"Sigh... your brains are really dull." Cao Gongzi sighed, shaking his head and said, "The Great Holy Temple is a very mysterious place. If you've read about the legends of the Great Holy Temple, you would know how long ago this place originated..."

Saying that, Master Cao turned his head to glance at the side. Seeing several beautiful women, his eyes lit up.

“I don't have time to mess around with you guys, go play yourselves.” Cao Gongzi dropped the sentence and walked toward those beauties.

The three men present were purely curious. As worldly people, they had no concern for what major events transpired in the martial arts world.

Thus, the three men dispersed.

Fang Yu retreated back to the original tree, holding the already finished cocktail glass, his brow furrowed.

The Great Temple...

This place, he actually came here before.

When he traveled across China, he also spent some time in the Eastern Capital, about two hundred years ago

Back then, the Great Temple wasn't a tourist attraction; it was just a large, ancient building left over from the past. And at that time, the gate to the Great Temple was indeed locked shut, forbidding entry.

At that time, Fang Yu walked around the Great Temple, but he didn't feel anything unusual. He just found it boring, so he left afterward.

Just now, I heard that Young Master Cao said that the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association offering the key to the Great Saint Hall as a reward has caused a stir in the Eastern Capital's martial arts world...

So, there is heaven and earth within the Great Temple

"The requester, Changsheng... quite interesting."

Fāngyǔ touched his chin, his pupils flickering slightly, then a smile crept onto his face.

He suddenly thought of a good idea, which could allow him to smoothly obtain the Great Temple key provided by the To-Do Martial Arts Association.

"The Divine Doctor!"

Just as Fang Yu was thinking, a male voice sounded from the side.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw Tang Mingde.

"Master Tang," Fang Yu nodded in greeting.

"I knew Mr. Fang would be here tonight." Tang Mingde smiled faintly.

Fang Yu glanced at the back of Tang Mingde, but did not see Tang Xiaorou. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Rou still has classes, so I didn't let her come back to Jiangnan." Tang Mingde said.

"Very good," Fang Yu said.

After chatting with Tang Mingde for a few moments, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively again.

It seems that another important figure has arrived.

Fang Yu and Tang Mingde both looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

At this moment, two figures walked into the courtyard under the gaze of everyone.

These are two young men who look to be under thirty. They are handsome, but there is a hint of exoticism in their features, as if they were mixed-race.

But the two people's appearances are quite similar, they should be brothers.

They attracted so much attention because of their clothes.

All the guests present were dressed in suits. The two brothers, however, wore silk robes, just like wedding grooms did in ancient times.

"This is the Yuan brothers from Xidu." Tang Mingde whispered beside him, "The Yuan family is a famous silk merchant family in Xidu. The Yuan brothers arrived in Jiangnan last week and made a deal with our Chamber of Commerce about silk... They wear these silk robes because it's a family rule, I heard."

"Oh." Fang Yu nodded and didn't say anything.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was ignited to a fever pitch.

"They are the Yuan brothers from Xidu! They actually came too!"

"Just the Yuan family from Xidu"

"I didn't expect them to come... Let's go meet them!"

All the guests present were surprised by the arrival of the Yuan brothers.

Judging from their reactions, the Xi du Yuanjia family is clearly not ordinary.

"The Yuan family is the top family in Xidu... Their family foundation is extremely deep, and their industries cover the entire northwest and southwest regions... Many of their industries are in an absolute leading position... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them a monopoly." Tang Mingde saw Fang Yu keep staring at the Yuan brothers and continued.

At this moment, Fang Yu was indeed staring at the Yuan brothers.

However, he wasn't focused on the Yuan brothers themselves, but rather the various jade ornaments they wore.

The colors of these jade ornaments are very special.

It's not a traditional greenish-blue, but rather a pale pink.

Especially the string of jade beads worn on the wrists of these two brothers perfectly embodies this characteristic.

A trace of crimson appeared within the jade bead, which was mostly pink. It gave off a unique and beautiful aesthetic.

Of course, Fang Yu felt not the beauty contained within, but a chill and a faint resentment.

Blood Jade.

All the jade ornaments worn by the Yuan brothers were made of blood jade.

Blood jade, he had seen it once a long time ago.

Back then, the people who crafted such jade pendants were mostly associated with demonic cultivators.

Because the blood used to make blood jade must be fresh and vibrant.

That is to say, to make a blood jade, one must kill!

And, during the process of making it, this person also can't die too quickly.

The blood within the Blood Jade is condensed essence. It takes the life force of a living person, draining two-thirds of their blood, to create even a jade pendant the size of half a palm.

And during the making process, various other items can be added and various spells can be embedded.

Blood jade, , has two uses.

On the one hand, it develops in a positive direction and retains the most basic function of blood jade, which is to wear it on the body to ward off all diseases. On the other hand, it uses the essence of others' blood to nourish one's own spirit.

Thus, people who wear blood jade for a long time can remain radiant and energetic.

And the jade ornaments worn by the Yuan brothers probably served this purpose.

In another direction, the blood jade will be crafted into various jade ornaments to harm people secretly, or directly made into offensive magic weapons.

Regardless of what blood jade is used for, its production process and final purpose both highlight the behavior of harming others for one's own benefit.

Therefore, the Righteous Path Alliance of that year classified Blood Jade as a Level 1 Evil Artifact, prohibiting anyone from making it.

The Righteous Alliance was still very imposing at the time.

Thus, the blood jade gradually disappeared from the world.

Fang Yu didn't expect to see the evil artifact Blood Jade again at such an occasion. I have other things to take care of. 。"Qin Changlong said, turning his head to look at Qin Jianjun" 。Their eyes met, both with a flicker of something strange in their depths. 。This scene was captured...
