CH 61.2

‘Pill refiners have very high prestige in this world, their pill recipes are not circulated, even low rank pill recipes are not cheap, much less the insights on pill refining. Even one’s own disciple would not get such treatment from their master.’

Seeing Su TingYun still in a daze, ZhanYu soon understood that Su TingYun did not even know how valuable the jade slips were, so he solemnly reminded her and said: ‘A drop of water received in need should be repaid with an entire spring, we the disciples of Obliteration Sword Tower strongly value sentiment and righteousness, in the future when you meet that pill refiner, you ought to repay him to the best of your ability.’

‘Junior sister, how about you bed him.’ XiaoBu said gleefully, but he was immediately hit by ZhanYu. He looked at Su TingYun with a gaze filled with concern, ‘Don’t let your imagination run wild.’

Su TingYun: ‘……’

That gaze where you look like you want to speak but then stop yourself, doesn’t that mean that you often do that? You’re looking down on people who make friends or claim ties of kinship with someone with higher positions! Su TingYun even gave Liu FeiZhou summaries of what she had learnt. She felt that her new revisions were much more meticulous, unlike Liu FeiZhou’s work, which was so messy, without one bit of orderliness.

Although she was thinking about this, Su TingYun was actually very grateful. It was just that she did not know where on earth Liu FeiZhou is located; she didn’t even know if he was alive or not.

How great would it be if they could meet the so-called omniscient QianJi pavilion. She better save up on spirit stones. If they were to chance upon them, she could pay the information fee.

They flew for another half a day, before reaching Obliteration Sword Tower at long last.

Obliteration Sword Tower was unexpectedly not located on top of a mountain. Instead, it was on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake water was so clear that you could see the bottom, the bamboo that was growing on the island was so dense that it formed a forest. There were several spaces within the forest, and in the center stood a magnificent hall. There was a black-coloured rock that was placed at the entrance of the hall, and three words were written on its surface.

Those three words should mean Obliteration Sword Tower, the calligraphy was bold and strong. The view of a fine steed soaring high into the sky and severing itself from this world, there was also a flood dragon entering the sea, creating waves that crash onto the shore which created a considerable amount of sea spray. Fixing her gaze at the three words, Su TingYun felt like she was looking down from the top of a mountain range. She ought to approach the submit and look at the awe-inspiring view from the top. She even wished to shout out loud to express her deepest feelings.

When she regained her senses, the first thing she saw was ZhanYu and XiaoBu look at her with a smile on their faces.

‘My foresight is indeed good. If it was a person who harboured evil intentions, their state of mind would suffer damage when they look at the inscriptions which founder has written.’

Su TingYun laughed out loud, but said nothing.

‘You have to climb the heaven ascending steps to enter WuLiang sect. Our Obliteration Sword Tower also has its own customs. Flying is forbidden in the cleansing sword lake, we will have to walk across this lake to advance.’

When ZhanYu finished speaking, he dipped his toes into the water’s surface. Su TingYun looked at him with much amazement as she saw numerous flying swords in the depths of the lake. Along with ZhanYu dipping his toes into the water, a random flying sword from the bottom of the lake flew out to support the bottom of ZhanYu’s feet. He leisurely advanced step by step, and more flying swords flew out from the lake to pave a path towards the bamboo island.

‘This is master’s Sword path method.’ XiaoBu shot a glance after saying that to Su TingYun, ‘Junior sister, observe me.’ When he finished speaking, his body flew forward and landed into the lake. He firmly stepped on the blade of the flying sword that flew out.

After that, he rode the sword and whizzed across. Although it looked much more efficient, he was still slower than ZhanYu’s speed. Rather, the distance was still increasing.

Su TingYun used her wind controlling technique to descend on the lake’s surface.

‘XiaoYun, you still haven’t begun cultivating the sword. There is some driftwood over there, you see them? Come over using that.’

Su TingYun: ‘……’

Su TingYun went over and stood on the driftwood. As a result, she found out that what should have been an effortless task such as taking a step forward was very hard. Who knows if this Cleansing Sword Lake had a formation in it, but not long after, her entire body started to perspire hot sweat, even her nose tip had beads of sweat.

This… was another entrance test?

A school that was so poor that it was about to go under still has so many tricks up their sleeves. No wonder they only had so few disciples. However, this kind of place, Su TingYun still liked them.

Towards her cultivation lifestyle in the future, she had some expectations. Naturally, the most important thing would never be forgotten. She would never stubbornly evade and hide. This is because she previously wanted to live the easy life in the mortal world. But now, she wanted to grow. She wanted to step over one obstacle after another, one step at a time. Protecting those that she deem she should protect with all her strength.

Su TingYun reached the island with much difficulty. She was breathing as heavily as an ox. She was so tired that she could not even lift her fingers. The moment she stepped onto the island, she felt the sky and earth spin. The next time she opened her eyes, she saw a ball of flames and a metal pot placed on top of the ball of flames.

A middle-aged person who was wearing a cyan Chinese gown and trousers that had its legs folded up and was wearing straw sandals laughed heartily and said: ‘XiaoYun correct? Ingredients for a hotpot are ready, all that’s left is for you to cook it.’

Su TingYun: ‘……’

Her heart suddenly had things she wanted to puke out.

Did she enter the wrong venue? Just now, she was like a hero filled with fighting spirit, then how did it suddenly become a ceremony to enter an agriculture family!
