Chapter 478: Definitely Not a Coincidence
“I want to hand over the hope of revitalizing the sect into your hands,” said Su Yizhi even more solemnly.
“Why?” Ling Chuxi was completely stunned. She was only here to beg for the Crisis Reverse Pill, and she had never even dreamt of encountering such a request. It felt like she suddenly found herself listening to the secrets of a heavenly book.
“Because of your medical skills. You are the one who cured the eye disease of the lady from the Xia Family, right?” asked Su Yizhi.
“That’s right.” Ling Chuxi knew that he was asking about her curing the eye disease of Xia Zhuoyi’s mother. Ling Chuxi was somewhat shocked. Although she had thought that it was possible that Su Yizhi knew many things, she never would have thought that he even knew about this matter.
“I knew of her eye disease, but even I could not cure her. There is only one needle method under the skies that could have cured her. It is an acupuncture method from another line of lost knowledge from the Golden Pill Sect. Since that line of knowledge had already disappeared for so many years, I had thought that it would have long died out, yet it turns out that there was still you as its successor! With that line of lost knowledge now found through you, coupled with the secret medical skills of the Su Family, you will then be able to gather the strengths of all the three families of the original disciples the master of the Golden Pill Sect pa.s.sed on its secret medical skills to. The glory of the olden days of the Golden Pill Sect will reappear and we will also have the opportunity to revitalize it!” said Su Yizhi emotionally.
Ling Chuxi was already shocked till she could not speak at this point. The medical skills which she had learnt from another world was actually a line of lost medical knowledge from the Golden Pill Sect. Although she already had some understanding of her own origins and she knew that all these happenings were not as simple as merely being coincidences, Ling Chuxi still felt that this was unbelievable. Things seemed to be even more complicated and confusing now. But Ling Chuxi still urgently wanted to know her own origins.
‘Then, could the Golden Pill Sect have some connections with my origins?’ The thought flashed through Ling Chuxi’s mind and she seemed to have caught onto something. She started to feel interested in Su Yizhi’s proposal.
“What is your concern regarding Life Transforming Hall and the Sword Pill Meeting?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“Life Transforming Hall was another branch that was descended from the Golden Pill Sect, they are from the same source as the Su Family. Three hundred years ago, Life Transforming Hall came looking for us in the name of revitalizing the sect. But they actually wanted to swallow up the Su Family and seize the secret medical skills we possessed from our hands. Both families have been fighting for hundreds of years since then. The rules set up between the two eventually states that once every fifty years, each sect would select one person among their young disciples to be sent into a compet.i.tion to decide superiority based on sword skills and pill refinement skills. The winner will not only get Rejuvenation Valley in its entirety but will also get the other party’s secret medical skills.
“For the past couple hundred years, the Su Family had either dominated in pill refinement skills or won based on sword skills. We have not let them have their way all this while. But this time, an accident has befallen Su Yanyu and it is most likely that Yanjin will not come back well too. If the Su Family is defeated, Rejuvenation Valley and our secret medical skills will submissively be given away and the whole family would probably end up being exterminated eventually.
“Although Xiu’er’s talent is not bad, she is too young. Since Life Transforming Hall is even able to come out with such schemes and plots, they are naturally determined to win this time. If she is allowed to go, we will definitely be defeated without any doubt. Furthermore, I have always felt that things are not that simple anymore this time. Since Life Transforming Hall dared to lay their hands on us as such, perhaps there is someone instructing them to do so from behind the scenes,” said Su Yizhi, pondering the subject as he spoke.
“I have seen the people from Life Transforming Hall. Are they experts in using poison?” asked Ling Chuxi, unable to match up what she had seen and what she was hearing.
“Who wouldn’t be an expert in poison if they were an expert in medicine? It is just the question of whether one is willing or unwilling to use it their knowledge that way,” replied Su Yizhi.
Ling Chuxi gave a slight smile. She herself was an expert in medical skills. At the same time, wasn’t she an expert in using poisons as well?
“Miss Ling, if you have no objections, this matter will be decided as such,” affirmed Su Yizhi.
Ling Chuxi nodded. It was no longer just about Second Elder’s injuries right now. The Golden Pill Sect was involved in her origins, so of course she would not decline this request.
