Chapter 838 - You’re Out Of Luck

“A Crystal Heart is the source of crystal stones. As long as it exists, crystal stones can be produced continuously. This mine vein should have been emptied by the sect and sealed by the Four Wonder Array thousands of years ago, but due to the White Jade Crystal Heart, the crystal stones were continuously regenerated. I have no idea if the person who sealed the mine veins knew of the presence of the White Jade Crystal Heart, and whether they sealed it on purpose for that reason.” Ling Chuxi looked confused, so Cang Yuan explained it to her patiently.

“Even if the White Jade Crystal Heart can continuously produce crystal stones, if you finish them all at one go, the Golden Pill Sect would have to wait for another ten thousand years, right?” Ling Chuxi asked slowly.

“Hahaha, you don’t know the value of a crystal heart. Even if the White Jade Crystal Heart is as big as your fingertip, it’s worth all the crystal stones in here. Considering the amount of crystal stones in this place, the hidden White Jade Crystal Heart definitely isn’t small. You’ll surely be able to earn a lot of money.” Cang Yuan laughed, looking amused.

“It’s that valuable?” Ling Chuxi’s eyes widened in surprise.

“As you know, the spiritual energy of crystal stones is limited, and the crystal disappears after being used. However, the crystal heart is different, since its spiritual energy is unlimited. It has been a precious treasure since ancient times, and many people will be tempted to snatch it,” Cang Yuan mused with a smile.

“I’m not worried then, eat as much as you want. After we collect the Cang Yuan remnant, we’ll dig the White Jade Crystal Heart out.” After discovering the value of the core of these White Jade Crystals, Ling Chuxi wasn’t worried at all.

“The remnant of Cang Yuan… Not good!” Cang Yuan exclaimed anxiously. “Since there’s a White Jade Crystal Heart here, that remnant of Cang Yuan must have been absorbing its spiritual energy for many years. It will be very powerful, and if it condenses a spiritual body, we’ll have no chance to collect it.”

When the two of them first arrived, they had been dazzled by the White Jade Crystal mine, and had then deduced the existence of the White Jade Crystal Heart. They had been so overwhelmed with delight and excitement that they only now recalled the Cang Yuan remnant.

Ling Chuxi had collected the sword essence and sword soul before, so she knew that every remnant of Cang Yuan had its own independent consciousness, only differing in their strength. This remnant of Cang Yuan had been absorbing the spiritual energy of the White Jade Crystal Heart for so many years, so it was surely very powerful. It was highly possible that it had condensed a spiritual body.

“Let’s go find it now.” Ling Chuxi quickly made a decision. No matter if it had condensed a spiritual body or not, the faster she started, the better her chances.

“I’m afraid it’s too late.” Cang Yuan’s tone was heavy with disappointment.

Right after he finished speaking, a glittering, translucent light poured in from the passage ahead, so glaring that they were forced to close their eyes. The light twirled in the air, forming a vortex made of shadows.

A huge force enveloped the tunnel, and Ling Chuxi was involuntarily swept towards it.

At the same time a strong pressure spread slowly in the passage. Little Red, who was hidden behind a pile of crystal stones, saw Ling Chuxi’s figure being swept away, and his eyes lit up in delight. Even the demon emperor bloodline in his body showed some signs of loosening up at the terrifying magnitude of the power ahead.

‘Hahaha! Ling Chuxi, this time you’re out of luck!’ Little Red secretly cheered. Seeing Ling Chuxi’s bad luck, he almost danced in joy.
