“I am just letting you know about this so you are aware of what is going on. Don’t worry about it too much, I will take care of any financial issues.” Seeing the troubled look on Ling Chuxi’s face, Su Yizhi was secretly pleased. It seemed that she had already integrated herself into the Golden Pill Sect.
Although the initial purpose of letting Ling Chuxi take over the Su family’s Resurrection Hall and rebuild the Golden Pill Sect was to temper the younger generation of the Su family, Ling Chuxi had defeated Ghost Hand of the Cold Moon Palace at the Sword Pill Meeting, and had later used cultivation of the realm of True Essence to thwart Chu Fengyun’s plan for world domination. She had not only became renowned in every country, but she had also improved her reputation amongst the disciples of the Su family, and naturally had the bearings of the master of a sect. Seeing how Ling Chuxi was so devoted to the Golden Pill Sect, how could Su Yizhi not be gratified?
“Does our Golden Pill Sect have its own properties?” Ling Chuxi asked after a while. Logically, the Golden Pill Sect was one of the five major sects. Since it had been destroyed for thousands of years and no other sects had replaced it, it should have its own properties.
“Of course. According to our ancestors, our Golden Pill Sect had several crystal mine veins, but I have no idea where they are. I will search for them tomorrow, but I don’t know if I can find them,” Su Yizhi said uncertainly.
Meanwhile, Little Red who had been curled up in Ling Chuxi’s arms, pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation. He suddenly felt a burst of pride, as monster beasts had a stronger perception for spiritual qi compared to humans. When he was looking for a place for cultivation, he had coincidentally sensed the presence of a crystal mine vein.
‘The crystal mine vein! I know where it is, why don’t you all ask me? Ling Chuxi, beg me. Beg me and I will tell you where it is!’ Little Red felt elated, but all it could do was squeak and chirp.
Unfortunately, no one knew what it was chirping about, so they had no idea what it was even proud of.
“Behave, stop being noisy.” Ling Chuxi irritably pinched the chubbiest part of Little Red’s butt. The meatiest parts were always really pleasant to pinch.
“Eep!” The pitiful Little Red immediately fell from his cloud of pride into a valley of shame and anger, and almost fainted in a sudden gasp of breath. The Lord Young Master had been harassed over and over again, and with his innocence gone, all he wanted to do was ease the sorrow in his heart and let his tears fall.
“Why don’t we refine some pills first, or prepare some medicinal marrow-cleansing liquids in exchange for crystals?” Ling Chuxi knew that crystal mine veins were hard to find, so she came up with an alternative. This Golden Pill Sect valley was full of exotic flowers and rare herbs, and based on the abilities of Su Yizhi and Su Yizhen, refining marrow-cleansing medicinal liquids shouldn’t be a problem.
“It’s a good idea, but showing off our wealth so soon might lead to disaster. We have not yet held our grand opening ceremony and haven’t been recognized by most sects, so if we show off the marrow-cleansing liquids too early, I’m afraid people will covet our assets and it will lead to trouble,” Su Yizhi said cautiously. “Anyway, we still have some savings and there should be no huge expenses during this period of time, so let’s just wait for a little while more.”
“That’s fine too. We can try to find those crystal mine veins during this period before discussing again.” Ling Chuxi nodded and said, “Oh yeah, Elder Su, regarding the whereabouts of that sword…”
“Yes, I’m still looking for the Zhen Zong sword, but I haven’t found anything yet.” Although Ling Chuxi had been vague, Su Yizhi still knew what she meant and replied dejectedly.
