Azure Dragon Peak, Yi Xian Building.
He Fengdi drained his cup of strong liquor in one gulp. The spirit energy in the liquor exploded in his chest, causing a tingling numbness in his throat.
He put down his cup, the overwhelming emotions in his eyes gradually began to subside.
“All for nothing in the end.”
“What’s the use?”
Sitting across He Fengdi was Han Yi, dressed in a dark blue robe.
Han Yi’s expression remained calm throughout the conversation, marked by contemplation.
Three days ago, the death of You Wu had caused a great uproar in the Xuandan Sect – frustration, despair, intense emotions that Han Yi could sense even from afar, resulting in a hasty return to his courtyard in the Azure Dragon Peak.
Three days later, the emotionally charged atmosphere gradually dissipated. As it happened, that afternoon was the time set to retrieve the Green Reed Sword. Han Yi took the opportunity to invite He Fengdi to share drinks early in the morning, upholding the promise he had made on the Immortal Boat.
“Senior Brother He, why do you think the sect made this announcement? Why didn’t they keep the news hidden?”
“After all, such news, once announced, is certain to disrupt all the disciples of the Inner and Outer Peaks.”
On this point, Han Yi indeed struggled to understand. According to his experience, such devastating news to the sect would typically be kept under wraps.
But the Xuandan Sect not only publicized the news, they also let the emotions ferment without any interference. It all seemed too anomalous.
Han Yi didn’t believe that the sect’s higher-ups couldn’t foresee this. Since the battle of the Immortals and Demons, they had shown extensive strategic planning over the past few years. They did not lack foresight, which made Han Yi suspect that there was a key factor he hadn’t seen through here.
He Fengdi shook his head: “1 don’t know.”
“However, the death of Senior Brother You was indeed a big blow to the disciples of the Inner Peak. Junior Brother Han, you probably don’t know that these three days, the Combat Peak has been more desolate than ever before.” “But according to my years of experience, the sect must have a contingency plan. We will know in due course.”
Despite their anger and despair, He Fengdi still believed, the sect’s actions always aimed at a goal.
“By the way, do you know where Junior Sister Chu has gone?” He Fengdi asked.
Han Yi shook his head, indicating that he too did not know.
“The spirit wine of Yi Xian Building is truly extraordinary. The top Inner Peak is truly deserving of its reputation, it even surpasses the Spirit Respect Building on the White Tiger Peak.”
“What are your plans for the future, Junior Brother Han?”
He Fengdi took another sip of the spirit wine. The Spirit Respect Building he mentioned was a tavern located on the White Tiger Peak, similar to Yi Xian Building.
“Plan.” Han Yi contemplated these two words.
“Cultivate.”
“Only through cultivation, by enhancing my strength, will 1 have the foundation in this world. I must strive to break through to the ninth level of Qi-Cultivation.”
Han Yi answered seriously.
Once he broke through to the ninth level of Qi-Cultivation, his cultivation base would elevate another level. According to his estimation, below Qi-Cultivation, he would virtually be invincible and may even have a chance against the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, even if he achieved the ninth level of Qi-Cultivation, he would still maintain a low profile.
No matter how strong You Wu was, he still fell victim to three swift strikes, his earlier achievements turning into nothingness.
The Immortal Path is long. One must assert oneself when the time is right, but also know how to keep a low profile when necessary.
He Fengdi’s wine cup paused midair, his eyelid twitched, then he proceeded to down another cup.
Words spoken without thoughtfulness can evoke much meaning in the listener.
Comparing oneself with others leads only to frustration.
He had struggled to level up to the peak of the Qi-Cultivation Realm, but now Han Yi, who was stronger than him, planned to break through to the ninth level of Qi-Cultivation next.
Is he even speaking human language?
A moment later, everyone finished their drinks and went their separate ways.
After leaving Yi Xian Building, Han Yi descended from the Azure Dragon Peak and ascended the Combat Peak again. Just as He Fengdi had described, the scene was unprecedentedly desolate, even colder than when the Combat Peak was first established.
Upon entering the Nine Dragons Shop, Han Yi saw He Fangwei resting his eyes leisurely.
Noticing someone entering the shop, he opened his eyes and his face brightened when he recognized Han Yi.”
“Friend, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
After leading Han Yi into the elegant room, He Fangwei didn’t dawdle. He directly took out a long, cyan box from his storage bag and pushed it before Han Yi.
It was impossible not to feel nervous.
Han Yi carefully opened the box revealing a sword about one meter and twenty centimeters long, lying quietly inside.
As soon as he opened the box, a powerful aura that seemed capable of destroying everything hit his face.
If this were a low-level Qi-cultivating cultivator facing this aura emitted by the sword, fear would definitely rise in their heart, if not a sense of overwhelming terror.
Obviously, Han Yi would not be affected like this.
He leaned forward to take a closer look at the sword. Three days ago, the jade disc that He Fangwei took out only contained a hologram. Although it was clear, it couldn’t provide the same detailed view as examining the item in person.
Both the sword sheath and the blade were pitch black. A blue lotus was coiled around the sword, other than the lotus, there was nothing else.
There was a jade tag hanging on the sword sheath, with two ancient characters on it.
Green Reed.
Han Yi touched the sword body and even tried the blade of the sword, and found that it was cold and seemed to repel people. The blade was not sharp.
He flicked the sword body, and a dull sound followed.
The table under the jade box suddenly shattered and caved in.
Han Yi quickly closed the jade box and held it in his hand.
“I apologize for my behavior, I couldn’t resist the urge.” Han Yi apologized, an embarrassed expression on his face.
He Fangwei magnanimously responded: “No problem at all. It’s clear to see that you love swords, and it’s not a waste for this Green Reed Sword to end up in your hands.”
Han Yi placed the Green Reed Sword into his storage bag, promptly settled the remaining amount, and left the shop. He was eager to get back and test out this primeval sword tool..
