Chapter 835: Treasure Hunt
On the other hand, Su Yizhi had once said that except for the ancestor who founded the sect, there was no one amongst the generations of Sect Masters of the Golden Pill Sect that could handle this Cang Yuan remnant. Even if someone found it, it would only harm them.
Ling Chuxi had already collected the Cang Yuan sword spirit and sword soul, so she knew the danger of doing this. Even if she and the Cang Yuan sword spirit worked together, it would still be dangerous. If she brought Su Yizhi along, she honestly didn’t know if he would make it back in one piece with his cultivation intact.
So, after much consideration, Ling Chuxi decided to keep it a secret.
Either way, the spirit of the Cang Yuan sword had already taken form and could even refine weapons. When the time came, she could ask him to help the Golden Pill Sect refine a good sword. If possible, she would find ways to get refined gold and silver, to help them smelt a divine weapon first. Ling Chuxi had never been stingy towards her own people.
“Thirty steps forward, twenty steps left.” Cang Yuan’s voice rang out in Ling Chuxi’s mind again.
Ling Chuxi followed Cang Yuan’s prompts and walked deeper into the sea of flowers.
“Turn right in ten steps, then take five steps to the right… Next, take seventeen steps to the left.” Cang Yuan’s voice resounded in her mind from time to time.
Ling Chuxi felt like the route pointed out by Cang Yuan was a secret array. One wrong step might result in a wide divergence, so she focused hard on counting her steps, totally oblivious to the two little creatures quietly following her.
Under the guidance of Cang Yuan, Ling Chuxi gradually entered the depths of the sea of flowers. Suddenly, the scene before her changed into one she had never seen before.
Ling Chuxi had been cultivating in the sea of flowers every day, and had looked for the place with the most abundant spiritual qi, but she had never come here before. It seemed like her hunch was right—the route that Cang Yuan pointed out was indeed a secret array.
“Have we arrived yet?” Ling Chuxi asked when she noticed how quiet Cang Yuan was.
“We have arrived. The Cang Yuan sword remnant is under your feet,” Cang Yuan replied softly.
“Under my feet?” Ling Chuxi looked down at the soft soil beneath her feet, perplexed. She used the Mind Training Chant to explore it, but did not notice any oddity. ‘It can’t be that I have to dig deeper, right? If I had known beforehand, I would have brought a hoe.’ Ling Chuxi pulled up her sleeves in preparation. Would Cang Yuan faint if she used the Luo Chen Sword to dig?
“There is another array below, let me figure out how to open it,” Cang Yuan murmured, deep in thought. Obviously, this array wasn’t so simple, and even he found it difficult to bypass.
So there was another array below. Fortunately, she didn’t need to dig anything with her hands. Silently thankful, Ling Chuxi put her sleeves back down.
Ling Chuxi felt spiritual Qi extending down from the Luo Chen Sword, which was most likely Cang Yuan trying to open the array. However, the spiritual force soon retracted, with no changes in her surroundings.
“What’s the matter?” Ling Chuxi asked hesitantly.
“Strange… It is only an ordinary Four Wonder Array, so it should be easy to open. Why is this one so strong?” The confused voice of Cang Yuan echoed in her mind.
“Can you open it?” Ling Chuxi asked anxiously.
“Logically speaking, the Four Wonder Array is usually easy to open. However, this one is very strong, so it’s clear something is off. If you want to open it, I may have to borrow your Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians’ power and also consume some of my spiritual power,” Cang Yuan said after a moment of silence.
“Let’s try that then.” Although Ling Chuxi was worried about her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians, if she didn’t collect the Cang Yuan remnant, more trouble would definitely arise in the future. Considering the improvement in cultivation of the disciples of the Su family, the visit to the great sects would surely be soon. If she didn’t collect this remnant now, who knew what would happen after she left. Hence, Ling Chuxi decided to take a risk. Since Cang Yuan was around, everything should be under control.
