Chapter 855: Extraordinary Workmanship
“That’s great!” Ling Chuxi said excitedly. She didn’t want to remove all of it anyway. By leaving the White Jade Crystal Heart there, the crystal stones in this mine would never be used up, and the Golden Pill Sect would not have to worry about money even if another ten thousand years passed.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you there,” Huangfu Qingjue said softly.
“I won’t accompany you any longer. Go, but move quickly—this Four Wonder Array has never been that stable, and the reason it has been sustained till now is because of the White Jade Crystal Heart and the sword heart’s consciousness. Since the sword heart is gone, the array can’t be maintained for too long,” the sword spirit urged as his figure disappeared, returning into the Luo Chen Sword.
In truth, the sword spirit was quite considerate and didn’t want to be the third wheel. Additionally, his spiritual power had also been largely depleted during the fierce battle, and he needed rest to replenish it. As for Little Red… Right now, he could only lie on the ground, slowly absorbing the medicinal pills Ling Chuxi had stuffed into his mouth.
Huangfu Qingjue held Ling Chuxi’s hand, and a surge of gentle qi passed through his warm hand into hers. Ling Chuxi felt like everything was spinning, and her body felt light as they fell into the hole in the ground.
At the moment, her whole body seemed to have become illusory and weightless, making Ling Chuxi feel like they were travelling through time and space.
After some time, Ling Chuxi’s feet touched solid ground. Judging by the duration of the fall, they should be at least thousands of meters deep underground.
Twinkling brightly, the White Jade Crystal Heart once again appeared before her eyes. They both were enclosed in a small space covered with mysterious lines and made up of thick White Jade Crystals. Upon further inspection, they realized that the lines had been formed naturally.
Ling Chuxi felt a peculiar fluctuation of spiritual energy, which was similar to what she had felt when she entered the teleportation array of the Feng Yan Union. Obviously, this was also an array formation, but a natural one. Even Ling Chuxi was surprised by nature’s extraordinary craftsmanship.
Ling Chuxi assumed that it was this naturally formed array that had sealed the passage to another dimension. It was clear that the White Jade Crystal Heart’s power formed the core of the array, and she did not dare to act rashly in case the passageway opened and strange things came out of it again.
“It’s fine; it was just a coincidence earlier, don’t worry,” Huangfu Qingjue chuckled and said comfortingly seeing how cautious Ling Chuxi was.
“That’s great.” Ling Chuxi relaxed and drew out the Luo Chen Sword, but hesitated, not knowing how much to cut out. If she took too little, it would not be effective, but if she cut too much, it might affect the array. Feeling troubled, Ling Chuxi gripped the Luo Chen Sword, worrying her lip uncertainly. It was the first time in her life that Ling Chuxi was facing such a dilemma.
“Considering the strength of the array, half of the White Jade Crystal Heart should be enough to sustain it.” Huangfu Qingjue laughed out loud, eyes gleaming mirthfully. It was his first time seeing Ling Chuxi so torn, and it was adorable.
“Ah, I see. I will make a lot of money then!” Ling Chuxi grinned, eager to get started.
Ling Chuxi started calculating the number of people she wanted to give crystal heart pieces to. Ling Yichen, Baili Han, and Lan Xinyu would get one piece each. Oh right, there was also Jiang Wuhen. Although he messed around all day, he was still her friend, so he would get a piece. Leave three pieces for the Golden Pill Sect so that Elder Su could give it to whoever he wanted, and finally, a piece for Elder Brother.
