Chapter 617: Opening A Cultivation Cave
By the time Huang Xiaolong reached the Supreme Harmony Hall, there were already many disciples in the vicinity, both outer disciples and inner disciples.
Noticing Huang Xiaolong’s figure walking in, the disciples in the great hall were up in a furor.
“It’s Senior Brother Huang Xiaolong!”
“Senior Brother Huang Xiaolong!”
Many outer and inner disciples greeted Huang Xiaolong with excited faces. Reverence and adoration could be seen shining in their feverish eyes.
Huang Xiaolong nodded as he was greeted, wearing a faint smile on his face as he continued moving to the side hall counter to collect his elite disciple robe and identity token. Coincidentally, when he entered the side hall, he ran into Jiang Bi, Li Dufeng, and their group of followers.
It seems like Jiang Bi also came for the same purpose, to collect his elite disciple robe and identity token.
When Jiang Bi, Li Dufeng, and his group saw Huang Xiaolong, their expressions tightened, all the arrogance they showed in the past was nowhere to be seen. Each of them voluntarily lowered their heads and retreated to the side, giving way to Huang Xiaolong to enter first.
When he was passing by Jiang Bi’s side, Huang Xiaolong halted, looking at Jiang Bi with mirth in his eyes as he asked, “Have your injuries healed?”
Jiang Bi’s face muscles twitched at Huang Xiaolong’s caring question, that slap he was served yesterday was by no means light. Landing straight on his face, it felt like his brain was jarred and his eyeballs shifted left to right, completely unable to tell which way was north, south, east, or west.
Yet, recalling the scene that day, Jiang Bi had no anger at all, even smiling flatteringly at Huang Xiaolong, “They are already healed, many thanks to Senior Brother Huang for showing mercy that day.” His bow was so low that it seemed like there was a great mountain placed on his back, his forehead almost touching the floor.
Even that Xiang Mingzhi had his little birdie burst from Huang Xiaolong’s kick, would he even dare to have any dissatisfaction toward Huang Xiaolong?
Huang Xiaolong nodded, “That’s good then.” His attention then moved to Li Dufeng.
Just a look and Li Dufeng’s legs were already shaking, his knees knocking against each other. Flustered, Li Dufeng fell to his knees, “Senior Brother Huang, please spare me, I beg you! I was wrong. I won’t dare anymore, please don’t kick my little birdie, no, no, I-I mean, don’t kill me!” Incoherent sentences spouting his pale lips face ashen with fear.
This Li Dufeng had been strutting around by relying on Jiang Bi, arrogant to the extreme. Moments ago, Huang Xiaolong indeed wanted to make him suffer a little, however, watching him like this, he lost all interest.
Ignoring the rest, Huang Xiaolong stepped inside the side hall.
Inside the side hall, the Elder in charge was more than welcoming and amiable, personally helping Huang Xiaolong exchange his elite disciple robe and identity token, then politely escorting Huang Xiaolong out.
When he came out, Jiang Bi and the rest were still standing at the side of the entrance, not daring to enter, while Li Dufeng was still kneeling on the floor.
Only after he was sure that Huang Xiaolong had left the Supreme Harmony Hall did Li Dufeng get up slowly, feeling that he had just survived an ordeal as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.
Not long after Huang Xiaolong returned to his yard, Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother Liu Yun and Third Apprentice-sister Qi Wen called him.
With a wide smile on his face, Liu Yun said, “I’ve been thinking that in these one or two days you will definitely need to choose a peak as your own cultivation dwelling. You have the Hailstone Treasure, thus aren't lacking in any spirit stones or elixirs. But opening a cultivation cave not only requires spirit stones and elixirs, there are also formations, spiritual pool, etcetera that are needed. I have a flagon of Nine Yang Holy Water here, it’s useless keeping it by my side, so I brought it over for you.”
Liu Yun took out a jade flagon that resembled a gourd.
Third Apprentice-sister Qi Wen also took out ten longswords, explaining, “These ten longswords are items refined by ancient Gods, called Ten Killing Swords, they can be used to arrange a Ten Killing Formation. Junior Apprentice-brother can lay it out in your new place.”
Huang Xiaolong received both items to peruse. Opening the jade flagon, he saw that inside it was another space containing a spiritual lake of several li radius. The spiritual lake’s surface was heavy with spiritual energy, whereas the lake’s bottom seemed to be hiding nine suns. Nine glows fractured to the water surfaces, soft and tempting.
