Chapter 567: Sword-Hiding Peak!
As Situ Liuyun watched Su Yi's departing figure, he felt a stir in his eyes, with a deep and meaningful expression.
"This young boy is truly remarkable," said a figure emerging from the study room. It was Right Dharma Protector.
"What do you think?" Situ Liuyun asked with a slight smile.
"True and false, with hidden depths, cunning and deceitful, yet also valuing emotions and righteousness. Honestly, in my entire life, I have never encountered such an individual. I cannot fathom his true intentions," said Right Dharma Protector with a smile.
Situ Liuyun spoke, saying, "With four different abilities, he was able to reach the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairs. This was truly a sight never seen before."
"It seems that the sect leader has made a decision?" Right Dharma Protector looked at Situ Liuyun and spoke.
Situ Liuyun suggested, "Let's go there together in five days. By then, those people won't have anything to say. All they want is a chance. If that young boy truly has the fortune to obtain that supreme benefit, it would be a twist of fate."
Right Dharma Protector's eyes flickered, and then he looked up and said, "Does the sect leader believe in that young boy now?"
Situ Liuyun stood in front of the table, examining the 'sword' character he had written, his words filled with a gentle tone, "Though cunning and sly, he had a sense of loyalty and righteousness. But I am afraid that one day, the Divine Sword School would become too small for him."
"The sect leader, why you asked this kid to go there? If that kid really gets that supreme benefit, then…"
Right Dharma Protector's eyes flickered, as it would be a great benefit for the Divine Sword School if it fell into the hands of someone they couldn't control. It wouldn't be a good thing for the Divine Sword School.
"Whether he can obtain it or not, it still depends on fate. After all these years, no one has succeeded before. Perhaps this time will also end without any gain."
Situ Liuyun looked up, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He said, "Even if that young boy truly has such incredible luck, I am willing to take a gamble."
"There has been a lot of activity there lately, maybe this time it will really fall on someone."
Right Dharma Protector said with a flicker of excitement in his eyes, and for some reason, he felt a slight tremor in his heart. He knew very well what that sign represented.
"This generation of disciples is extraordinary. If such an unparalleled benefit were to appear and could complement each other, the Divine Sword School might truly have a chance to flourish!" Situ Liuyun clenched his fists slightly, his eyes filled with sparkling light.
...
Su Yi returned to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, feeling delighted and excited in his heart. He had already obtained the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill and, combined with the successfully crossed Tribulation Blood Spiritual Ginseng, he had a bit more confidence in healing his grandfather's injuries.
In the courtyard, after checking that no one was around, Su Yi summoned the mysterious space.
The Blood Spiritual Ginseng was still recovering inside the mysterious space, where an abundant collection of medicinal herbs and ingredients grew flourishingly.
Su Yi plucked thirty-four Dark Spirit Fruits and immediately emerged from the mysterious space. He swiftly made his way towards Sword-hiding Peak, eager to reach there with utmost speed.
Su Yi didn't have enough special containers to hold all the Dark Spirit Fruits, so he had to quickly deliver them to Sword-hiding Peak and hand them over to the Divine Sword School. Otherwise, the potency of the Dark Spirit Fruits would decrease.
The Fierce Wind Golden Eagle had been staying at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak all this time. Su Yi found Qing Chao and others, and after asking about the location and important details of Sword-hiding Peak, he summoned the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle and they set off right away.
Sword-hiding Peak has always been the place where the Divine Sword School keeps its collection of martial arts techniques, swordsmanship, and precious swords. Only disciples who have met the qualifications are allowed to set foot there.
Su Yi was the one who went to Sword-hiding Peak to deliver the Dark Spirit Fruits, so naturally, he had the qualifications required to do so.
On the back of the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, Su Yi could see from a distance a vast expanse of ancient buildings towering, with tall towers and people coming and going.
On a small square, there were many demon beast mounts scattered about, and one by one, disciples of the Divine Sword School descended from their demon beast mounts.
Su Yi gracefully dismounted from the back of the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, with disciples watching him from all around, secretly amazed by his presence.
"It's Su Yi, is he here to find martial arts techniques?"
Some disciples were discussing, their eyes filled with astonishment. The duel that took place on Spirit Sword Peak three days ago still left them shaken.
"Grand Uncle Su Yi, please follow me. The Dharma Protector is waiting," said the voice.
A young woman in her mid-twenties arrived by Su Yi's side. She was dressed in a strong and stylish outfit, with a graceful and charming appearance.
"Who are you...?" Su Yi asked in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the woman.
"According to seniority, I have to address you as Grand Uncle. The Dharma Protector has arranged for Grand Uncle to come, so I am waiting here to accompany Grand Uncle and take you there."
The woman with the surname Qin smiled faintly and openly looked at Su Yi, examining him with her eyes.
Su Yi, now known throughout the Divine Sword School, had already made a name for himself. Three days ago, during the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, she had personally witnessed his skills. However, little did she know that the seemingly ordinary young man before her was actually a formidable force.
"I dare not, that would be troublesome."
Su Yi nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. He never expected that Elder Su held such a high position in the Divine Sword School. It seemed that the sect leader, Situ Liuyun, had made arrangements and informed Sword-hiding Peak about his arrival. It was all because of the thirty-four Dark Spirit Fruits. That's why disciples were specifically waiting for him there.
"No need to be polite."
The woman with the surname Qin didn't boast, and then she took Su Yi to a massive and ancient building.
Inside the side hall, a Dharma Protector was already waiting.
To Su Yi's surprise, the Dharma Protector who was waiting for him was not a stranger. It was none other than Dharma Protector Hou Changming, who was the master of Zhang Qing.
"Dharma Protector Hou."
Su Yi bowed, having always had a good impression of Dharma Protector Hou.
"You are being too polite, I cannot handle such formalities. Have you brought the Dark Spirit Fruits?" Dharma Protector Hou Changming chuckled with a trace of resignation. Su Yi's status was much higher, so how could he accept such formalities?
Su Yi was also feeling helpless and couldn't directly announce that he had never been formally accepted as a disciple by Elder Su. He then took out a space bag from his pocket and handed it to Dharma Protector Hou Changming. All the Dark Spirit Fruits were stored inside this bag.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming had already received news that Su Yi was coming to deliver thirty-four Dark Spirit Fruits. He had been eagerly anticipating this in his heart.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming received the space bag from Su Yi and eagerly peeked inside. In an instant, a Dark Spirit Fruit appeared in his hand.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming's face turned surprised as he looked at the sparkling and transparent Dark Spirit Fruits with their energetic aura. He couldn't help but utter in awe, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable..."
The eyes of the girl with the last name Qin couldn't help but land on the Dark Spirit Fruits. Such treasures, five years ago, she didn't have the strength and opportunity to obtain them.
"There's nothing left to do. I will take care of the rest. Sword-hiding Peak has many martial arts techniques, cultivation methods, and hidden swords. You can explore around and if you're not familiar with them, you can ask Qin Zhen to help you get acquainted."
Dharma Protector Hou Changming waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the Dark Spirit Fruits he was holding.
He had seen Dark Spirit Fruits before, but in his memory, they were always treasures. However, the Dark Spirit Fruits he had seen in the past were completely incomparable to the ones he was looking at now.
