Now, Su Yizhi did not have the least bit of doubt towards Ling Chuxi. If she failed now even when things were set like this, then in the future, there was simply no need for him to refine pills anymore.
Ling Chuxi’s moves were executed at a faster and faster speed and her expression also became more and more delighted. Her initial guess was indeed not wrong. Combining this set of application methods and acupuncture methods with the methods of control and usage of Battle Qi from a different stream of knowledge left behind by the Golden Pill Sect resulted in a more complete set of martial techniques.
At this moment, the Battle Qi in her body was flowing like a spring that would never run dry. Her entire being seemed to be placed within a mountainous forest grassland with clean and clear air. There was an indescribable comfort and refreshing coziness to it. Battle Qi flowed out of her hands like light rain on a summer day, as delicate as mist, yet there was an infinite and endless strong might within. If this Battle Qi usage was applied in battles, there would definitely be an unimaginable effect.
Su Yizhi also felt the oddity. If it were him, he would have long since been covered in a thin layer of sweat, yet Ling Chuxi looked at ease and didn’t exhibit the slightest sign of fatigue.
A sound from the pill furnace rang out lightly and a bright crystalline light emitted from within its chamber, visible through the small slit between its doors.
Su Yizhi was overjoyed. This was a clear sign of the formation of the pill.
“It’s a success! You have succeeded!” exclaimed Su Yizhi. He had just opened his mouth to proclaim her success when he was suddenly stunned as he looked at Ling Chuxi in extreme surprise.
He saw that an unremarkable black stone bead worn around Ling Chuxi’s wrist was emitting a fantastical looking light. It was a bright and clear light. When in the ray of the light, a person’s entire mind would instantly fall into a hard to describe, amazing world.
Ling Chuxi was also stunned. She also never thought that the stone bead around her wrist would undergo such an odd change to the point where the entire space was enveloped by the odd light emitting from it. Ling Chuxi felt that her own mind became integrated with the stone bead resulting in her mind being overtaken by a kind of subtle feeling. It was like experiencing the vicissitudes of life, seeing the movements of the universe and the variations of reincarnations across of the passing of time.
The lightly slowly dispersed. Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi did not even take a look at the Crisis Reverse Pill in the pill furnace as the both of them were fixated on the stone bead on Ling Chuxi’s wrist instead, staring at it a daze. It looked so ordinary that if it were not for what had happened earlier on, anyone would have thought that this was a small pebble that could have been taken from any riverside.
“Dazzling Heart Stone. That pebble is actually a Dazzling Heart Stone!” After remaining in a stupor for quite a long while, Su Yizhi finally identified the pebble for what it was in a mumble.
“This is a Dazzling Heart Stone?” asked Ling Chuxi as she looked at Su Yizhi in surprise. Ever since her brother put this ink black stone bead in her hands, she had tried countless ways to crack the mystery as to what it actually was but had turned up empty handed each time. She was not even able to figure out the origins of the stone bead and only knew that it has an unusual texture resembling a mixture of stone and jade, gold yet like wood, but it was like no other material. She never thought that Su Yizhi would actually tell her what this stone bead was so casually.
“I’m not too sure either. However, judging from what happened earlier, it is likely that it is precisely the Dazzling Heart Stone of legends. However, why does it look like this? That’s right, how did you even get it?” Upon seeing the light disperse and the stone bead returning to its original appearance, Su Yizhi rubbed his eyes hard and inspected it closer. He did not dare to confirm his suspicions for now, curiously asking Ling Chuxi more questions to be sure first.
“It was given to me by a friend,” answered Ling Chuxi vaguely, suppressing the excitement within her heart before quickly following up with a question of her own. “Old Su, do you know the origins of the Dazzling Heart Stone?”
“Of that, I do know a little.” Su Yizhi took some time to recall his memories for a bit before proceeding to explain the stone’s origins to Ling Chuxi. “I once heard my family’s elders mentioning the legend of the Dazzling Heart Stone. Hearsay, our world was initially a void and that everything then was combined together in a vast chaos. Later on, a piece belonging to an odd stone appeared within that chaos and started to break through it by radiating a five-colored divine light. From this, heaven and earth and thus all creation was born.”
