Chapter 115: Chapter 115 The Secret Within the Jade Ruyi

Jiangbei.

Su Family Ancestral House.

After rescuing Lin Ruoxi and returning to Jiangbei with Lin Songbai, Su Luo didn’t visit Lin Mansion again.

After all, what had happened between him and Lin Ruoxi was such that he worried if she saw him, her emotions might collapse even further.

Therefore, he temporarily returned to the ancestral house.

Su Luo held the Jade Ruyi, caressing it in his hand.

He could feel a sense of familiarity from the Jade Ruyi, but no matter how much he studied it, he couldn’t discover its secret.

"Why do I feel this sense of familiarity?"

Su Luo was very puzzled.

In the end, as a last resort, he decided to try a blood ritual to see if it would have any effect.

Su Luo used True Qi to prick his fingertip.

A few drops of blood emerged from his fingertip and fell onto the Jade Ruyi.

Quickly, the Jade Ruyi absorbed the drops of blood.

"Is there really a reaction?"

Su Luo was immediately delighted.

He hadn’t really held out much hope and was just trying, but the result exceeded his expectations.

He hurriedly dripped a few more drops of blood, and the Jade Ruyi absorbed them again.

Then.

Su Luo kept trying.

No matter how much blood he used, the Jade Ruyi absorbed it all.

But that was all it did, apart from absorbing, there were no other reactions.

Su Luo used his Divine Sense to probe, but still came up empty.

"I don’t believe you can’t be satiated!" Su Luo said to himself.

However, just as he was about to drip more blood on the Jade Ruyi, suddenly, a voice rang in his ear, "What you’re doing is useless."

Who?

Su Luo was startled.

He instinctively thought that it was the voice from within the Jade Ruyi, but then he realized it was the voice of the mysterious woman inside the Chaos Bead.

This made Su Luo extremely surprised.

"I seek guidance from my senior!" Su Luo immediately responded.

"Inside this Jade Ruyi, there resides a fragment of a soul, which is very powerful for you. If you can absorb it, it will be greatly beneficial to your cultivation," the mysterious woman said.

A powerful remnant soul?

Su Luo was stunned.

Could this be the secret of the Jade Ruyi?

Was it just because the soul was too strong for him, so his Divine Sense couldn’t detect it?

"Senior, what is this remnant soul?" Su Luo asked urgently. Although he desired power, he did not want to become a being that consumed human souls, as it would make him feel disgusted inside.

"A human cultivator!" the mysterious woman replied.

Then forget it... Su Luo thought to himself, but he then asked, "Senior, can you let me see that remnant soul?"

He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the Jade Ruyi, which made Su Luo suspect that the remnant soul might have some connection to him.

"Yes," the mysterious woman, for some reason, agreed to Su Luo’s request.

Soon.

Su Luo felt his consciousness as if it had left his body and was drawn into a dark place.

"This is the remnant soul!"

Su Luo saw that there was a vague silhouette beside him, pointing ahead.

Su Luo looked over.

He suddenly froze.

"Grand... Grandfather?!"

Su Luo’s eyes widened as his gaze fixated dead ahead, as if on a figure that hovered between reality and illusion amidst the darkness.

If not his grandfather, Su Xiazi, who else could that be?

Of course, Su Xiazi was just what outsiders called him, in reality, his grandfather’s name was Su Taixuan!

However, the soul fragment in front of him seemed younger compared to the grandfather he remembered.

But Su Luo recognized him instantly, it was definitely his grandfather!

"Grandfather!"

Su Luo rushed forward, his eyes becoming somewhat moist.

However, no matter how he called out, the soul fragment of Su Taixuan showed no response.

A soul fragment!

Quickly, Su Luo recalled the words of the mysterious woman, that this was a soul fragment!

Why would his grandfather have a soul fragment inside the Jade Ruyi?

And it seems to be of a younger grandfather, too.

What on earth was going on?

Su Luo turned and asked the mysterious woman, "Senior, what’s the matter with my grandfather?"

The mysterious woman showed no particular reaction to the soul fragment being Su Luo’s grandfather, simply saying, "It seems he was once grievously injured and sealed a fragment of his soul here. However, the chance of this soul fragment being revived is minuscule. You’re his descendant, and if you were to absorb it, you’d face no obstacles. For you, the benefits would be significant!"

Su Luo hardly took in the words that followed.

He only heard the part about "the chance of being revived is minuscule"!

Minuscule... didn’t that mean there was still a chance of revival, even if it was just one in ten thousand?

Su Luo grew excited, "Senior, does this mean there’s still a chance that my grandfather could be brought back to life?"

"There is. Once you grow strong enough, you can use your own bloodline to revive him," the mysterious woman provided a definitive answer.

This nearly brought Su Luo to tears.

"Grandfather, no matter the difficulties and dangers, I will bring you back to life!" Su Luo swore.

"Since you do not wish to absorb it, then you may go," said the mysterious woman. As her words fell, Su Luo felt his consciousness returning to his body.

He opened his eyes to find the mysterious woman gone, with only the Jade Ruyi left in his hand.

This Jade Ruyi was tantamount to his grandfather’s life.

Su Luo carefully stored it away in the Storage Ring.

But then, feeling uneasy, he took the Jade Ruyi out of the Storage Ring again and placed it inside the Chaos Bead.

He had previously learned the rudimentary method to control the Chaos Bead from the mysterious woman, allowing him to use the Chaos Bead as a storage space.

Moreover, the space inside the Chaos Bead was much larger than that in the Storage Ring, virtually boundless.

The Storage Ring might be lost, but as long as he lived, the Chaos Bead remained within him. So there, Su Luo felt more at ease.

"Governor of Jiangnan!"

Su Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous intent flashing within. He now knew the secret of the Jade Ruyi. Yet, why had the Governor of Jiangnan gone to such lengths to find it?

It couldn’t possibly be for some ethereal secret that might exist within the Jade Ruyi, could it?

Could it be related to his grandfather?

Su Luo couldn’t be sure!

But he knew he had to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Otherwise, he would never be at peace!

"It’s just a pity that the channels at my disposal are limited, and I can’t get wind of many things," Su Luo sighed.

Today, on the return trip, he had asked Lin Songbai why the Governor of Jiangnan was searching for the Jade Ruyi, but since Lin Songbai lived in peace in Jiangbei and was not interested in fame or gains due to his Tai Chi Way cultivation, he wasn’t informed about many matters outside Jiangbei and didn’t have clarity on this issue either.

"Perhaps, I could ask Aunt Shen."

An image of Shen Qingzhi surfaced in Su Luo’s mind, and he decided to meet with Shen Qingzhi discreetly.
