Chapter 866: Really Struck It Rich This Time
However, shortly after Ling Chuxi fell asleep, Little White’s familiar figure jumped in from the window and hopped onto her bed smoothly. Seeing Little Red sleeping on the pillow, Little White trotted over to him and kicked the meddling squirrel to the end of the bed, then curled up and went to sleep.
Little Red awoke suddenly from that fierce kick, fur on end as he prepared to attack. However, when he saw the culprit, he just let out a dejected sigh and went to sleep in the corner miserably.
At dawn, Ling Chuxi woke up from a deep sleep and stretched. Under the White Jade Crystal Heart’s continuous supply of spiritual power, the True Qi she had lost the day before had been completely replenished, and she felt refreshed and relaxed.
Ling Chuxi circulated her True Qi for a while and was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottleneck of cultivation had been loosened, and she had almost reached the threshold of the True Essence Intermediate stage.
Normally, the higher the cultivation, the slower its progress. However, the Sword Heart Soul Breaking technique had greatly consumed True Qi and mental energy. Nonetheless, with the White Jade Crystal Heart, Ling Chuxi’s cultivation progress was back on track.
Actual combat was really the best way to improve one’s strength. It was a pity that when she came to the Sacred Realm of Sects, she couldn’t find a suitable opponent to be her sparring partner, like Mo Kongyuan was.
Ling Chuxi stretched out her hand, and unintentionally touched something fluffy. Shocked, she quickly looked down to see Little White in her bed.
“Little White!” Ling Chuxi shook her head at how wrong it felt, then yelled, “Qingjue!” Wait… that felt even more wrong. When did Qingjue enter her bed? Little White opened his eyes drowsily, then leaned against Ling Chuxi, quickly falling asleep again. Obviously, he was really tired out by last night’s events.
“Rest a little while more then.” Ling Chuxi smiled tenderly and pressed a kiss to Little White’s soft head. At that moment, she came to a realization—so what if Little White was Qingjue? Qingjue was her man, and that was all she needed to know. He was the person closest to her heart, so why should she feel embarrassed?
Little Red was still sleeping at the end of the bed, drool rolling down the corner of his mouth. Ling Chuxi looked at the two of them amusedly, then pulled a blanket over them and went out. After walking out the door, Ling Chuxi heard voices filled with excitement.
“We found it, we found the White Jade Crystal mine!” Several Su family disciples were rushing around and telling one another, their excitement and joy overwhelming.
“That was fast. Did I oversleep?” Ling Chuxi looked at the horizon, where the sun had just risen, radiating a soft orange glow. Obviously, it was still early.
How could she have known that Su Yizhi was so excited last night that he couldn’t sleep? Before dawn, he had called Su Yizhen, Su Yanhua, and the others to search for the crystal mine vein. The Four Wonder Array that blocked it had collapsed, and with their strong cultivation, Su Yizhi, Su Yizhen, and the rest quickly found the crystal mine vein.
When Ling Chuxi entered the depths of the sea of flowers, Su Yanhua was transporting White Jade Crystals out of the dug-out mining tunnel. His face was sweaty and muddy, but he was grinning widely.
Su Yizhi stood aside, stroking his beard and smiling. Although he tried to maintain his composure as the elder of the sect and a dignified expert, he was still smiling from ear to ear, unable to conceal his excitement.
“So many White Jade Crystals… The Golden Pill Sect has really struck it rich this time!” Li Shaoqiu exclaimed, his eyes gleaming. He knew the value of White Jade Crystals, so seeing so many of them delighted him.
