The moment Su Yubing put her hand on the sword hilt and gave it just a slight tug, it actually came out from the black stone wall!
Not only that, but the moment the sword hilt came out, the place on the black stone wall where the sword hilt was inserted in actually started crumbling down like dust and ashes and it didn't stop until the whole section on the side of this black stone wall turned into ashes that Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing could finally pay attention to the sword in their hand.
But what surprised them most isn't the fact that Su Yubing could pull the sword out of the seemingly tough black stone wall while Mo Yuxin couldn't or that the black stone wall which seemed tougher and stronger than normal rocks by many times actually turned into fine dust just like that, it's the fact that the sword which they thought was a sword turned out to be broken sword!!
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both looked at each other then turned their eyes to the broken sword in Su Yubing's hand and both exhaled an audible sigh at the same time.
They didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the absurdity of the situation and could only say that their luck maybe ends there.
Finally Su Yubing and Mo Yuxin put aside their disappointment and Su Yubing suddenly said,
"There's something different about this sword. Although it's broken and most of it is covered in rust but It has a heavy and chilling feel to it. And the slight humming sound coming from this sword feels truly oppressive."
After listening to Su Yubing's words, Mo Yuxin finally also noticed these same details and couldn't help but say,
"Now that you say it, it's true. I can also feel the slightly oppressive feeling almost like the breath of an ancient being. Old yet profound." Mo Yuxin said as she looked towards the place the black stone wall previous was and now there was actually only a small protruding alter left and it seems that something is inscribed on it.
At this time, Su Yubing stretched out her hand to blow away the dust on the broken sword, and saw the word "LingLong" engraved on the hilt.
Su Yubing couldn't help muttering: "LingLong Sword?"
Seemingly hearing Su Yubing's voice, Mo Yuxin turned her attention from the alter to Su Yubing and saw her reading something on the sword. She also came close towards Su Yubing and saw the word "LingLong" engraved on the sword hilt and couldn't help but say,
"LingLong Sword? Maybe it's the name of this sword." After saying this Mo Yuxin turned to look at Su Yubing again but this time she found to her surprise that the eyes of Su Yubing were a bit unfocused with a hazy gray it it!
Mo Yuxin was a little anxious at first as her heart almost jumped out of her chest before suddenly realisation dawned on her.
Mo Yuxin could feel that Su Yubing was okay and her consciousness was probably pulled in by the sword causing her eyes to become unfocused. And as for why, it's probably because the owner of the sword left something it for the future generations and maybe there's a sort of inheritance in it, it could be anything from sword manuals to Cultivation techniques or body refining manuals.
Whatever it was, Mo Yuxin felt that it was definitely a good thing.
Right now, body Refining method above grade grade five is almost extinct and there's been no news of it ever appearing again.
Even though the grade nine body refining methods are used by almost all the Cultivators around the world but it doesn't mean that it gets treated as trash or as readily visible as cabbage. Even if it's a grade nine, if they continue practicing it for a long time, their foundation would definitely become more solid which in turn will make their Cultivation journey smoother.
In the entire eastern Continent, the highest grade of body Refining method is only a grade seven which is jointly used by the top sects in the continents for their inner disciples.
This shows just how precious the body refining methods are.
Thinking of this, Su Yubing didn't care what grade it was but she also felt from the profound aura emanating from this method that this is definitely not an ordinary one and would be better than not practicing at all.
Finally as she finished comprehending the body refining method in her consciousness, she suddenly felt a slight pull and in the next second, she found herself back in the cave.
As her eyes regained their previous clarity, what came into view was the beautiful potrait of a woman whose sharp eyebrows were a little furrowed and her usual cold blue sapphire eyes were filled with utmost gentleness as she kept staring at her.
Su Yubing couldn't help but forget to breath for a moment as the picture infront of her almost made her heart beat out of her chest as the tips of her ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
She even forgot to talk about what happened as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she said in a voice soo sweet and soft that even she was surprised,
"Umm... What are you looking at? " The moment her voice escaped her mouth, Su Yubing was even more embarrassed as the low and sweet voice almost sounded like she was deliberately being coquettish with Mo Yuxin. Her face felt hot as the blush spread even more and her whole face and the side of her neck turned a faint red almost instantly.
