After a long while, the woman spat hatefully, “I never expected that she would have such a strong cultivator by her side.”
“It’s merely a coincidence, I don’t think Duan Qingchen will be around her all the time.” Qing Lingyan was obviously not willing to give up just like that.
“She won’t be so lucky the next time!” That woman sneered, her eyes glittering with hate.
The two of them exchanged glances, their gazes filled with a burning vengeance. They didn’t say anything else, and just turned around and quietly left.
Meanwhile, Ling Chuxi had no idea that she had narrowly avoided a fierce battle because of Duan Xiaomo. She had managed to escape it this time, but what about the next time?
Returning to her room, Ling Chuxi no longer felt the uneasiness from earlier, but she had also lost her desire to sleep.
Ling Chuxi studied the Ink Jade Crystal Duan Xiaomo gave her curiously. Was this Ink Jade Crystal really as priceless as Jiang Wuhen said? It looked like an ordinary jade rock, but maybe of a higher quality. How exactly was it different from the rest?
A light chirring suddenly emitted from the Luo Chen Sword, similar to the sound it made in the past when facing danger. Ling Chuxi now knew that the sound was from the Cang Yuan sword spirit that was hidden in the Luo Chen Sword.
This time though, the chirring was different. It was full of anticipation and desire, like a child who excitedly waiting to eat good food.
“Cang Yuan!” Ling Chuxi unconsciously said aloud. She thought that the Cang Yuan sword spirit had awoken, but there was no response from the depths of her mind. Obviously, the sword spirit was still in a deep sleep.
Ling Chuxi jolted as a faint mist appeared from the Ink Jade Crystal in her hand. The crystal shone dimly and slowly became beautifully clear, almost transparent. Soon after, the mist gathered and floated over to the Luo Chen Sword.
The light of the Ink Jade Crystal in her hand grew brighter, and the crystal eventually turned translucent, flowing over to the Luo Chen Sword and disappearing into it bit by bit.
The chirring of the Luo Chen sword also became more rigorous, making Ling Chuxi’s heart pound in anticipation.
In the end, the entire Ink Jade Crystal completely disappeared. The Luo Chen Sword emitted an excited chirp and a bright light flashed from it, then faded.
‘The Ink Jade Crystal was eaten by the Luo Chen Sword!’ Ling Chuxi was stunned. It took her quite a while to make sense of what had just happened. Perhaps the depiction was not quite accurate, but the entire Ink Jade Crystal had disappeared into the sword, so if it hadn’t been eaten, what else could it be?
“Ah, that was an Ink Jade Crystal! Something so hard to find even amongst the sects was eaten up just like that! You spendthrift Cang Yuan, you had better spit it out now!” Ling Chuxi howled furiously, her heart aching at the loss of the precious crystal. Before she could even figure out how amazing it was, it had disappeared just like that! If she had sold it, her earnings would have filled the entire house with silver and gold! Ling Chuxi fought the urge to throw the Luo Chen Sword onto the ground and stomp on it.
The most infuriating thing was that nothing had happened to the Luo Chen Sword at all. It looked exactly the same!
“It actually is the Ink Jade Crystal!” Just as Ling Chuxi was feeling dejected, Cang Yuan Sword Spirit’s excited voice rang out in her mind.
