Chapter 507: Be a Big Rice Bug
Seeing Su Yizhi’s actions, the others also got up to bow. Su Yizhi’s words had excited their hearts to fight against a common enemy and had also stimulated their determination to revive the sect. As long as they could revive the sect through a relationship between Ling Chuxi and the Su family, they were actually the greatest beneficiaries. This logic was one that they were clearer about than anyone else. Furthermore, the superior martial arts techniques and pill refinement skills displayed by Ling Chuxi earlier on had long since beaten away the last shred of pride within the hearts of these Su family disciples. Who else had the face to stand up and object?

Aside from feeling surprised, she could also understand the feelings of the Su family’s disciples at the moment. However, since she already had a previous agreement in place with Su Yizhi and furthermore had obtained the Su family’s medical skills which were of utmost importance to her, she would naturally not go back against her own words.
“Since Old Su trusts me so much, I’ll accept this honor with gratitude,” Ling Chuxi calmly said.
The Su family’s disciples thought that Ling Chuxi would try to squirm out of the arrangement and push things back and forth. Seeing her direct response, they were a little surprised and stared at her in curiosity.
“Actually, the reason why Old Su had wanted me represent the Su family in the Sword Pill Meeting and hand over Resurrection Hall into my hands is because of something everyone can think of without having to imagine too much. It was all for the sake of combining the three medical skill streams of the Golden Pill Sect into one and rebuilding the sect so it can revive its past glory. If there was someone from amongst the Su family’s descendants who could bear such a heavy responsibility, there would be no need for an outsider like me to take action.”

From today onwards, I will do my best to revive the Golden Pill Sect and help you all to realize the long-cherished dreams of the Su family’s ancestors,” continued Ling Chuxi, her gaze turning sharp as it swept past the faces of the Su family disciples one by one.
If it could be said that when Ling Chuxi had just arrived at the Rejuvenation Valley, she had given everyone here a small slap on their faces, just as it could be said that this slap was even crisper and louder.
Everyone’s faces, including that of Su Yanhua, turned red and there was even a bit of a hot piercing pain running through their cheeks. Their hearts felt even more shameful and even Su Yizhi was not excluded from this shame. Indeed, this was originally their mission as descendants of the Su family. However now, it had fallen onto an outsider’s shoulders. There was nothing for them to be envious of all. They should feel ashamed instead.
“If one day, there is one amongst you who is able to carry this responsibility, I hope even all the more to hand over Resurrection Hall and the Golden Pill Sect back into your hands and let you, the descendants of the Su family, complete the mission rightfully belonging to all of you. I believe there will be such a day. I can do this and so can all of you!” declared Ling Chuxi encouragingly. Honestly speaking, though she had promised to help Su Yizhi beat the Su family’s disciples, she had never thought of truly helping them to revive the sect and whatnot. This task was too difficult and too great. If it was possible, it was better to leave it to the people of Resurrection Hall themselves. It was still better that she could eat well, sleep well and be a big rice bug with more freedom than this arrangement afforded. So, she first had to give herself a path of retreat before discussing anything further. To be free and unrestrained, to be a big rice bug, this great ideal was so shiny and appealing.
Hearing her words, all of the Su family’s disciples’ eyes lit up. Reviving the Golden Pill Sect was not only the wish of the Su family ancestors. To every Su family disciple, it was also a kind of glory, a kind of pride to be able to do so.
The Su family’s disciples’ pride and confidence which had originally ceased to exist due to the blow dealt by Ling Chuxi’s outstanding pill refinement skills and top-notch martial arts techniques had once again grown like wild grass and their gazes towards Ling Chuxi were colored by a few extra layers of respect.
