Chapter 495: The Two Women Meet
Ling Chuxi also thought of another question. What exactly was the meaning behind her mother leaving the Dazzling Heart Stone behind for her? Could it be that just like Su Yizhi had said, that only by finding all of the Divine Stone Of Chaos and seeing through the mysteries of heaven and earth and escaping the reincarnation of life and death could she finally figure it out? Wasn’t this task a little too difficult and humongous? However, thinking back of the words Ling Wushang had said and thinking about her own bizarre transmigration to this world, Ling Chuxi felt that it was highly possible.
‘Sigh. Forget it. There is no need to think about this too much. Defeat Life Transformation Hall first, obtain the secret medical skills in their hands and find a way to reveal the mystery behind the Dazzling Heart Stone first before thinking about anything else.’ Either way, no matter what, her origin was definitely related to the Golden Pill Sect and the Divine Stones Of Chaos. Ling Chuxi was too lazy to be bothered to think any further and continued on with her practice.
In the depths of Rejuvenation Valley, a graceful figure suddenly stood up. Although her face was covered with a veil, one was still able to tell that she had a beautiful and attractive appearance. Even the odd flowers and strange grass that bloomed and grew in the night seemed to have felt ashamed of their looks before her, shyly closing their petals once more.
It was just that the aura around her was so icy cold, that it caused others to feel a sense of suppression.
“Have you investigated clearly? Who is she?” she asked.
“Ling Chuxi from Nan Xia Country. She once represented Nan Xia Country as a participant in the vassal countries great assessment competition and emerged completely victorious against Xiao Tianying, obtaining the championship in one fell swoop.” Although Qiu Gaohe tried his best to keep calm, his voice was obviously trembling, making him sound lacking in confidence.
To have been able to investigate Ling Chuxi’s identity clearly in such a short period of time indicated that the might of Life Transformation Hall was not to be taken lightly. However, as the head of the Qiu family clan of Life Transformation Hall, he still acted so humbly before this lady who stood before him.
“It seems like you all have met a formidable opponent,” said the lady without the least bit of feeling or expression.
“It is us who have kept guard insufficiently and never thought that she would actually come to the Su family. However, although her cultivation is not weak, we are also competing in pill refinement skills aside from sword skills and martial arts techniques. She just arrived at Rejuvenation Valley a few days ago. No matter how good her innate talent is, how good could her pill refinement skills possibly be?” justified Qiu Gaohe uneasily.
“The Qiu family’s Life Transformation Hall and the Su family’s Resurrection Hall have fought for so many years, yet there has been no winner or loser. Do you want to continue on like this?” asked the lady coldly. Although she was saying things like this, her heart was doubtful as to whether or not the Qiu family could remain at a draw this time. Thinking back on how Ling Chuxi returned her gaze earlier, she felt a sense of unease within her heart.
“Why not I dispose of her now?” said Qiu Gaohe through gritted teeth. He could understand the meaning behind the lady’s words. All these years, the Qiu family either won in pill refinement and lost in martial prowess or won in martial prowess and lost in pill refinement. From the beginning to the end, they were unable to obtain the set of secret medical skills the Su family inherited. The Cold Moon Palace had already reached a point of being unable to tolerate any further delays. They were determined to win against the Su family’s Resurrection Hall at this Sword Pill Meeting.
“Forget it. Just go back and sort out your own things,” said the lady dismissively.
“Yes, Miss.” Qiu Gaohe let out a sigh of relief. He knew that his own cultivation was still weaker than Su Yizhi therefore wishing to truly get rid of Ling Chuxi was not such an easy matter. Furthermore, Ling Chuxi’s own cultivation was not weak either.
Qiu Gaohe bowed and retreated. The lady was quiet for quite a while before walking over to the Su family village. Her obscure figure slowly integrated as one into the night.
…
In the night, everything was quiet and silent. Ling Chuxi was practicing her application methods and Battle Qi coordination when her heart seemed to suddenly palpitate. She looked towards the outside of the window and saw an obscure, figure in white standing on the slope of the hill in a distance. Although the distance was very far off, Ling Chuxi could feel that veiled lady’s eyes right before her, staring at her.
So, Ling Chuxi stopped practicing, walked out the door and leisurely strolled towards the veiled lady.
