Chapter 57: Into the Mountain

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

The eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone was truly wonderful beyond words. Early the next morning, all of w.a.n.g Lu’s injuries had been completely healed. Furthermore, with an expression of both shock and helplessness, the Lady Boss watched w.a.n.g Lu finish up three days worth of food from her inn in one go, causing her heavy losses.

Of course, how could this be compared with the average daily turnover of over ten thousand tael of silver? Thus, except for swallowing the loss, the Lady Boss could do nothing about it.

The amount of meal that he ate was enough to shame even Wen Bao! After eating, w.a.n.g Lu patted his still flat stomach and stretched out his muscles and bones without any obstruction. He faintly felt that although the recovery capability of the eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone was on another level, it had the side effect of being expensive...

As he had healed from the injury, there was no need to change the original plan.

At the Clear Sky Peak on the Spirit Sword Mountain, w.a.n.g Lu looked at his two other teammates before asking, “Um, our team is complete, do we still need to introduce ourselves?”

The Lady Boss didn’t want to spend time on this. “We’re just three people, who doesn’t know who here? Are you sick?”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed. “Well, we actually have a problem regarding this.”

With that, he pulled out a golden doc.u.ment from his bosom. “This is the permit to enter the mountain from the Heavenly Policy Hall. You also know that this Clear Sky Peak is the sect’s important resources location. Even I, as a Successor Disciple, can’t freely come and go here, not to mention outsiders. So, several days ago, I specifically asked this permit doc.u.ment for you. However, this doc.u.ment requires the user to write their name on it…”

Having said to this point, w.a.n.g Lu shut his mouth. After all, after knowing her for two years and three months, he didn’t even know her full name!

However, the fault was not on w.a.n.g Lu; the ident.i.ty of the Lady Boss was countless Spirit Sword Sect’s people’s closely guarded secret. Moreover, w.a.n.g Lu also didn’t bother to inquire about it. When they met, it was usually in just two or three people’s setting, so there was no need to directly call her by name. What he called her were mostly: The Lady Boss; proprietress; waiter; beauty; f*ck, you dare to hit me, you wild monkey!

What he truly knew about her came from his Master, who called her little Ling’er. Thus, he knew that her name has the “Ling” character, but he didn’t know her last name… He couldn’t just give his surname of w.a.n.g to her just because they were close, right? Like w.a.n.g Ling’Er? d.a.m.n, where did this blatant c.r.a.p come from?

Therefore, w.a.n.g Lu wanted to use this rare opportunity to get her real name.

“So, beauty, the problem here is this. This permit requires the real name of the user for it to take effect. This doc.u.ment is made from sincerity paper, so…”

w.a.n.g Lu tried to be subtle here. He thought that with the Lady Boss’s IQ level and maturity, this would be undetectable.

However, the Lady Boss took one look at that golden doc.u.ment and then carelessly shrugged. “Just write the character of ‘Ling’ on it.”

w.a.n.g Lu frowned. “Just ‘Ling’ character? Last name?”

The Lady Boss sneered. “No last name. Awesome, right?”

“... Yes, it’s awesome. But, are you sure this is your real name? If I wrongly wrote in this doc.u.ment, I won’t have the time to find the second doc.u.ment.”

“Rest a.s.sured, I am not a liar like your Master.”

Without any other way, w.a.n.g Lu had to trust her and write the “Ling” character. No matter how he looked, he still felt awkward about it. A person without a surname seemed like an uncivilized person; like a pet name Big Huang or Little Mao. Would there be a problem if he wrote according to what the Lady Boss told him? He really couldn’t afford another sincerity paper at this time!

With a hint of uncertainty, w.a.n.g Lu filled the sincerity paper, and then handed it over to the Lady Boss. He thought that this was like giving a tag to a dog. Then, without giving another look to that ‘“dog tag” or sincerity paper, the Lady Boss took it, put it into her bosom, and then strode forward.

Outside the Clear Sky Peak, the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders have teamed up to lay out a barrier, so that in the absence of specified instruments, it was impa.s.sable. This applied even to the Elders—otherwise, the Fifth Elder wouldn’t need to go through a lot of trouble just to plunder the peak.

From behind, w.a.n.g Lu saw the Lady Boss casually cross the Clear Sky Peak’s barrier; he couldn’t help but become amazed. “I’ll be d.a.m.ned! Lady Boss, you really are a person with a single character name! Considering your peerless master status, you really don’t deserve this pet name; might as well use my surname, so your name should be w.a.n.g Ling’Er!”

However, when he crossed the barrier after the Lady Boss, w.a.n.g Lu vaguely felt something strange.

“Is it just a misperception or is someone watching us?” he mused.

After he successfully entered the Qi Cultivating Stage, the excellent property of his spirit root made him extremely sensitive to the change in the surrounding spiritual energy. He could not help but look up. However, what he saw was just a clear and boundless sky; where would he find the hole that someone had used to peep on them?

——

On the sky above the Spirit Sword Mountain, three elderly cultivators stood on the clouds, looking towards the far east. From the east, a lump of green cloud swiftly approached them.

Looking at that cloud, the leader of that group of cultivators slowly nodded. “After three years of long journey, Seventh Martial Brother has gained a lot.”

The cultivator on the right also praised, “That’s right, just this simple Soaring Cloud Method already showed his mastery of the weather. I presume that he has already completed his colored Yuanying, and thus has reached the peak Yuanying Stage.”

The leader then said, “By the Seventh Martial Brother’s perception and talent, one hundred years ago, I am afraid no one would expect him to have this kind of achievements.”

The cultivator on the right said, “A hundred years ago? Ha! I still remember that some people said that even if someone transmit their power to him until he reach the Jindan Stage, with his talent, he would never reach the Yuanying Stage! But… Um, at that time, who could guess that the situation would turn out to be like this?”

The cultivator at the left laughed. “A hundred years ago, in addition to the Sect Leader Martial Brother, none of us are the favorites, it’s just…”
