Chapter 696 - Another Part of the Cang Yuan Sword

Ling Chuxi knew that he had things that he wanted to say to her in private, and walked over to him.

“Mister Mo mentioned the Cang Yuan Sword just now. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, right?” Arriving at the lakeside in the distance, Su Yizhi turned to Ling Chuxi.

“Old Su, please tell me about it.” Ling Chuxi did not expect him to talk about the Cang Yuan Sword and her gaze immediately turned serious, her heart a little uneasy. Why did he suddenly bring this up? Could it be that he had noticed the secret of the sword spirit in the Luo Chen Sword? But it didn’t make sense… even Mo Kongyuan, Chu Fengyun and the others had not noticed. How would he?

“You have already learnt the Golden Pill Sect’s needle and finger methods as well as their medical skills. I believe you can also feel that the martial knowledge of the Golden Pill Sect is very wondrous, even though it is not considered very strong. A thousand years ago, we were able to stand as one of the five great sects. Do you know why?” Su Yizhi asked.

“Is it not because of the Golden Pill Medical skills?” Ling Chuxi asked curiously.

“Of course not! This world has always been one where the strong are respected. Without great martial abilities, just based on medical skills alone, how could we have been one of the five great sects?” Su Yizhi asked with a laugh.

“Are you talking about the Cang Yuan Sword?” Ling Chuxi could guess what he wanted to say and lowered her voice, her heart beating hard.

“According to the Su family’s clan leaders, a thousand years ago, my Golden Pill Sect secretly hid a treasure. It was an unmatched, fierce sword. If one could control the sword, they would gain knowledge of exemplary sword skills, and be known as the hero of an age. My Golden Pill Sect’s first generation’s master used this fierce sword to build the Golden Pill Sect. It is a pity that very few of the sect masters after him were able to control the sword, and some even received backlash when they tried. In some cases, they lost their lives, and if not, their minds were muddled so badly that it was hard for them to recover. After that, the martial prowess of the Golden Pill Sect grew weaker and weaker.

“In the end, the Golden Pill Sect was annihilated because this incredible sword’s existence was found out by an outsider, which drew the covetous eyes of a strong foe. This eventually brought about the end of the entire sect,” Su Yizhi said in a heavy tone.

“Where did the sword go in the end?” Ling Chuxi could not help but ask.

“Rumours say that when the Golden Pill Sect was annihilated, that sword’s whereabouts were also unclear, since it was not taken by our three families or the other party,” Su Yizhi admitted.

“So it could still be where the Golden Pill Sect was started originally?” Ling Chuxi probed.

“Perhaps. Only when I heard Mister Mo mention the Cang Yuan Sword did I recall this matter. If the sword hidden by our Golden Pill Sect is indeed one of the seven great remnants of the Cang Yuan Sword, then the birth of this fierce sword could perhaps be our golden opportunity to rise again. If that is the case, we definitely cannot let other sects get to it first,” Su Yizhi said agitatedly.

“We should wait until Mister Mo and the others return, then go and take a look,” Ling Chuxi said thoughtfully. She knew that the Cang Yuan Sword that had appeared this time was not really related to the Golden Pill Sect, because that Sword Essence had already been integrated by the sword spirit and was in a deep sleep in her Luo Chen Sword. However, if the Golden Pill Sect’s heirloom was another of the Cang Yuan Sword’s remnants, she definitely could not let this opportunity go.

“Since we want to rebuild the sect, we need to return to take a look anyway. It would be best if we could rebuild on the original location. You should work hard to raise your cultivation for the next few days. When Mister Mo and the rest return, we will depart,” Su Yizhi declared, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

“Alright.” Ling Chuxi nodded.

After that, the both of them did not speak further.
