Chapter 396: How Could It Be the Moonlight Jade Pendant?
2024-12-02
After biting his finger and dripping a drop of blood onto the jade pendant, a plethora of information soon appeared in his mind.
"
Jiang Cheng silently recited the information in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but yearn for it.
If he could fully utilize its effects, his mental recovery speed would be 400 times faster! Whether it was absorbing Essence Energy or cultivating mental energy, it would be like riding a rocket.
However, achieving this would require a significant amount of time.
"Let's first consume half of my mental energy and test its effects."
With the treasure in hand, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to try it out.
He took out the Golden Bell Meditation Diagram and stared at it for a while, waiting until his mental energy was halved before he withdrew his gaze.
Sitting on the meditation cushion, he began to meditate according to the instructions in his mind for using the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, restoring his mental energy.
At the very beginning, he felt that his mental recovery speed had increased by several folds. Within a minute, the speed doubled, and after a few more minutes, his mental recovery speed had increased threefold!
Jiang Cheng's heart was filled with elation.
Originally, it would take him six hours of meditation to fully recover his mental energy, but now, with the help of this jade pendant, he could achieve it in just two hours!
"
He suddenly realized.
T
Yet, a Sixth Rank treasure was only worth a hundred billion, and how many Grandmasters could casually spend several hundred billion?
However, with a treasure that accelerated mental recovery, it would save a lot. At the very least, it could double the mental recovery speed, and if a higher-grade treasure was used, like a Fourth Rank Grandmaster using a Fifth Rank Intermediate one, it might even be possible to multiply the speed.
Jiang Cheng savored this feeling, but suddenly, a curiosity arose in his heart. He stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and looked at the interface.
He wanted to see how fast his experience points were accumulating.
However, as soon as he looked, he froze.
Because at the top of the interface, the first three characters were not 'Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant', but 'Moonlight Jade Pendant', followed by a progress bar.
Jiang Cheng didn't have time to carefully observe how much the experience bar had increased, as his gaze was fixed, staring at those three words, and a question mark appeared in his mind.
How could it be the Moonlight Jade Pendant?
Shouldn't it be the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant?
He recalled the information in his mind, and it was indeed the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant. Moreover, looking at the shape of the pendant, there was no difference from the one online.
But what was written on the interface was precisely 'Moonlight Jade Pendant'.
If he had to choose which one to believe, he naturally trusted the latter.
In other words...
"Was I deceived?"
Jiang Cheng's pupils dilated.
Big Brother Changlin had specifically found a Moonlight Jade Pendant, pretending it was the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, and sold it to him? At first glance, this seemed unlikely.
However, when considering Big Brother Changlin's character, it made sense.
From the split of profits, it was evident that he was an untrustworthy person who did not keep his word.
"Big Brother Changlin!"
Jiang Cheng's heart surged with anger.
If it weren't for the interface, he might have been kept in the dark until he reached the Grandmaster level, and even then, he might not have been able to discern the truth.
Because by then, he might have doubted himself, thinking that he hadn't worked hard enough to bring out the full potential of this jade pendant.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew that exposing this matter now might not be the best choice.
Because the other party would definitely ask him, "How do you know this is fake?"
This was something he couldn't answer. He couldn't very well say it was a hunch, could he? If he did, the other party would never admit it.
After careful consideration, Jiang Cheng decided to keep this information to himself for now.
Although the Moonlight Jade Pendant was only a Fourth Rank Low-grade Artifact, eight times lower in value than the Fifth Rank Low-grade Jade Pendant, it could still be put to good use for the time being.
If it could fully maximize its effect, it could increase his psychic energy recovery speed by up to 50 times.
A 50-fold increase in psychic energy recovery speed would significantly enhance his strength, and the speed of his experience points accumulation would be much faster than with the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant. In a way, this could be a blessing in disguise.
Jiang Cheng's gaze fell upon his experience bar.
He did a quick calculation.
A full recovery of his psychic energy would increase his current experience bar by 10%. With ten such recoveries, he could reach the Unranked level.
"Perhaps, the proficiency levels of these artifacts are similar to cultivation techniques?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the 'Unranked' label, a thought crossing his mind.
But no matter what, having this proficiency panel made him luckier than most; even with artifacts far beyond his strength, given time, he could unlock their full potential.
This was true even for offensive artifacts, as long as they contained sufficient Primal Energy Crystals.
"That's good."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
With the other party's actions, he wouldn't feel guilty when he left.
If they ever came to blows, he wouldn't hold back.
Over ten hours passed, and the night deepened.
Gao Ling, who had received Jiang Cheng's notification, arrived at the location, his face filled with anticipation.
"Little brother, you're still here so late. Could it be...?"
"Yes."
Although he felt some disgust towards the other party, Jiang Cheng feigned gratitude, "Big Brother Gao, the effect of that Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant is truly extraordinary. I've just started using it, and it's already doubled my psychic energy recovery speed, allowing me to refine the fifth batch of pills."
As he spoke, he took out the five bottles of pills he had prepared earlier.
The two extra bottles were, of course, for his own use.
"Oh my!"
Gao Ling was overjoyed. He took the five bottles of pills, poured them out, and inspected them. Indeed, they were all top-grade Vigor Pills.
Fifty top-grade Vigor Pills, after deducting half for costs, earned them 25 million each. Their profit share changed from 6:4 to 7:3, and they would receive 17.5 million. In a month, that would amount to over half a billion! Compared to the previous 360 million, the difference was nearly double.
"Jiang, according to the profit share, you should receive 7 million. But because you obtained the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, this money will be used to repay your debts until they are cleared."
Gao Ling felt a bit embarrassed.
Because it wasn't the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant but the Moonlight Jade Pendant, worth 200 million.
But when he thought that even with the real item, Jiang Cheng wouldn't gain much more, he felt much better.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng found it quite amusing.
Previously, he had handed over four batches of pills daily, receiving 8 million in profit share.
Now, with increased effort, he handed over five batches daily, yet his profit share was only 7 million.
Indeed, capitalists were all the same, even in another world. Working for others offered no future!
