Chapter 92: Lotus Sword Summit

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:

When he initially obtained this Revolving Star Passage Technique, Mo Wuji was extremely ecstatic. However, after sweeping through it and noticing that were only the two Dou and Zhuan Stages, he knew that this technique was incomplete.

These two word stages resided in the broken sword's blade. If Mo Wuji guessed correctly, the Xing and Yi Stages should be in the sword hilt. According to Yan Qianyin, this other half of the sword should be at the Formless Blade Sect's Hanging Sword Cliff.

As Mo Wuji folded the thin silk in his hand, his gaze landed upon the sect’s Hanging Sword Cliff. Since he had obtained the Revolving Star Passage Technique, he needed to complete it. Regardless of the trouble, he would make a trip to the Hanging Sword Cliff and get the other two word stages from the other half of the Fallen Tune Sword.

To secretly procure the skill from the sword, he would need to change locations. Even though the Blood Lotus Lake was quiet, it wasn't a convenient place to act.

...

When Mo Wuji entered the Hall of Affairs, many people revealed an expression of envy. Even the few inner disciples were also envious of Mo Wuji. After all, these inner disciples could not get their own personal sword summit like Mo Wuji.

This was due to the unique status of pill refiners, albeit Mo Wuji was a mere Tier 2 Mortal Refiner.

“Pill Master Mo…” When the disciple from the Spiritual Herbs Warehouse - Fei Bingzhu - saw Mo Wuji, he loudly called out from afar; his voice contained a hint of reverence.

Mo Wuji walked over and patted his shoulders as he said, “Brother Fei, I'm still Mo Wuji. We're all friends so let's remain at ease with one another.”

Fei Bingzhu laughed heartily, “I always knew that senior apprentice brother Mo was different from others. Even though that's the case, I hope that senior apprentice brother Mo can simply address me as your junior apprentice brother. Within the sect, there's still a need to maintain seniority.”

“OK then, I will call you junior apprentice brother Fei in the future.” Mo Wuji had never liked people who used mincing words; he was always a straightforward person. When making friends, he had never cared about status. This was like Yan Qianyin; she did not seem to have bothered about status when she helped a mere service disciple like him.

In actuality, Mo Wuji was more willing to call Fei Bingzhu by his name. However, this wasn't the case for Fei Bingzhu; after all, in Fei Bingzhu's eyes, Mo Wuji was at an extremely high and lofty position. Moreover, his relationship with Fei Bingzhu wasn't like his relationships with Ding Bu'Er and Yuan Zhenyi.

“Is senior apprentice brother Mo looking for a sword summit to stay in?” After working in the Hall of Affairs for a long time, Fei Bingzhu's observations have naturally become more astute. Mo Wuji did not say anything but he had already guessed the reason for Mo Wuji's visit.

Mo Wuji did indeed come to find a sword summit. After he heard Fei Bingzhu's words, he casually asked, “Junior apprentice brother Fei, you understand more about the sect than me. Which of the uninhabited sword summits are not bad?”

“Naturally, it’s Seventh Sword Summit. Seventh Sword Summit is one of the Formless Blade Sect's Ten Great Sword Summits. Ever since the previous summit lord, Ju Qijian [1], went to the Heaven Seeking Palace, the Seventh Sword Summit has always been sitting idly. The spiritual energy there is extremely rich, and it is extremely suitable for cultivation and pill refinement.” Fei Bingzhu seemed to instantly blurt that out.

“What kind of place is the Heaven Seeking Palace? That Ju Qijian is one of the sect's summit lords, why doesn't he have to return after going to the Heaven Seeking Palace?” Mo Wuji asked puzzledly.

Fei Bingzhu shook his head and said, “I don't know much about it; I only know that the Heaven Seeking Palace is one of the most sacred places within the five empires. It's a place where experts go to seek the Heaven Realm. I heard that all the Heaven Realm experts in the five empires all emerged from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Every sect's most outstanding disciples have the right to qualify for the Heaven Seeking Palace, and any of these disciples who actually qualify to enter it was a source of pride for the sect…”

At this point, Fei Bingzhu lowered his voice, “Let me tell you something ah… I heard that the five empires are no longer fighting wars and decided to compete through pill refining competitions was due to the behest of the Heaven Seeking Palace.”

Mo Wuji did not ask further as he recalled Earth's Tsinghua and Peking University, he could actually liken this Heaven Seeking Palace as an elite institute for higher learning.

“Tell me more about this Seventh Sword Summit. If it's really that good, I will just move there.” Mo Wuji re-concentrated his efforts into find a sword summit.
