664 I’ve Seen Green Mountain (1/2)

”This Senior Master Liu is a strange man. He even asked for the pear wine that is the favorite of our peak master, not to mention that he came to tour the peak. He surely doesn't consider himself an outsider.”

A young woman of Qingrong Peak looked at the pavilion on the Autumn Platform with arched brows as she remarked, ”He dares stare at the peak master. Doesn't he fear that he might be killed by her if she is displeased?”

The elder said, ”Don't say that, and be respectful. You must know that he is the most favorite disciple of the Immortal Sect Master.”

”Isn't the peak master of Shenmo Peak the most favorite disciple of the Grandmaster Jing Yang?” the young woman questioned, her eyes full of disbelief.

The elder said, ”It's hard to tell who has the higher Cultivation state, the Young Brother Liu or the peak master of Shenmo Peak, but it's a certainty that the Immortal Sect Master trusts him the most.”

…

…

Having finished the pear wine, Liu Shisui left Qingrong Peak and went to Yunxing Peak.

The sword wills were too strong on Yunxing Peak; so few people, excluding Zhao Layue and a few others with unique qualities, could cultivate here for a prolonged period of time. As such, the elders and the disciples of Yunxing Peak resided at the foot of the peak.

The green smokes could be seen everywhere and the sounds of magic treasures could be heard among the courtyards; it was the commotion caused by repairing the flying swords.

Liu Shisui gave them his name and asked to see the peak master.

The former peak master of Yunxing, Jin Sidao, was too ashamed to stay here. Yet, he had no courage to go to the permit peaks; in the end, he opted to travel the world.

The current peak master of Yunxing was Ping Yongjia. He had tried his best to stay on Shenmo Peak for many days, but he was driven by Gu Qing to this place even though Zhao Layue implied that he could stay on Shenmo Peak…Gu Qing used the sect rules to persuade Ping Yongjia to come to Yunxing Peak. Furthermore, Ping Yongjia's Cultivation method was different from everybody else's, so this was the right place for him after all.

Liu Shisui and Ping Yongjia had eaten hotpot together just a few days ago on Shenmo Peak, so it was unclear why he wanted to meet Ping Yongjia again.

The elders and disciples smiled wryly when they heard Liu Shisui's request. They told Liu Shisui that the new peak master didn't say anything but went up to the peak top after he came here, and stayed there up to this point.

Hearing this answer, Liu Shisui found it quite interesting. He politely declined the request for the group to accompany him, and climbed Yunxing Peak by himself.

Yunxing Peak was the Sword Peak, devoid of flowers, grass and plants, as well as the flowing streams and beautiful sceneries, places where one could only find rocks and swords.

Unlike when he was on Shenmo Peak and Qingrong Peak, Liu Shisui had no scenery to enjoy here. As such, he soon disappeared into the clouds.

It didn't take long for him to reach the highest spot of the Sword Peak. The sunshine pierced through the clouds and illuminated the barren cliff.

A few iron eagles gave off roars that were as sharp as the clattering of metal. They flapped their wings and flew up in the air, encircling the cliff.

Liu Shisui came before the cliff and saw three grottos, one beside the other. He entered the one on the left hand side out of curiosity. Touching the surrounding walls with his hands, he thought that cultivating here was no different than the ascetic monks facing the cave walls at the Fruit Formation Temple.

Liu Shisui came out from the grotto and walked to the grotto on the right hand side. He tilted his head to look at Ping Yongjia, who was seemingly asleep soundly with his eyes shut inside it.

He watched Ping Yongjia for a long time, but he couldn't find anything special about Ping Yongjia; so he straightened his body and murmured while shaking his head, ”It's truly strange.”

After that, Liu Shisui made his way down Yunxing Peak. It seemed that he came all the way here just to take a look at Ping Yongjia.

Next, he went to Shiyue Peak, where he found a patch of a ruined medicine garden and picked an obviously extraordinary lotus with seven leaves under a rock. He tossed it into his mouth and chewed it raw. Later, he went to a magic pill house that had been deserted many years ago, where he found a vial of magic pills under a shelf and dumped all of the content into his stomach.

Both the ruined medicine garden and the deserted magic pill house were situated in the remote area of Shiyue Peak, so they were not taken care of. Even those elders and disciples of Shiyue Peak didn't know of their existence. It was unclear how Liu Shisui found out about these two places and why he could find those two precious items there. The more puzzling thing was that he ate the lotus with seven leaves and the magic pills in the vial that might have very strong effects; didn't he fear he might be in danger?

Having taken the magic pills, Liu Shisui sat in the magic tripod quietly for a while to digest them. Then, he jumped out from the back window of the magic pill house.

The mountain wind blew in his face with a whistling sound. Soon, he encountered the clouds and fog that were normal in this part of the mountain.

Thud!!!

Liu Shisui landed his feet on the ground; and yet, it was not the foot of the peak, but a stone beam hidden in the clouds and fog.
