Chapter 92: Lotus Sword Summit (2/2)
Fei Bingzhu immediately spouted, “The Seventh Sword Summit Lord Ju Qijian was a peerless existence. His original name was Ju Jia. He only changed his name to Ju Qijian after moving to the Seventh Sword Summit [1]. He was a great genius of our sect, not only did he become a summit lord in a short period of time, he also became an expert comparable to our sect's elders and sect head. He competed in the previous selection for the Heaven Seeking Palace. In those few days, he carved a bloody path and killed his way to qualify for the Heaven Seeking Palace…”
Towards the end, Mo Wuji could notice that Fei Bingzhu seemed to have some hesitations, like there were some words he did not wish to say.
“Junior apprentice brother Fei, we're already considered friends, why is there a need to hesitate? If there's anything you wish to say, just say it.” Mo Wuji said immediately.
Fei Bingzhu looked around at the surroundings before whispering the Mo Wuji, “Senior apprentice brother Mo, even though Seventh Sword Summit is really good, after some thought, I feel it's better that you don't go.”
“Why?” Mo Wuji asked curiously.
Fei Bingzhu's volume got even lower, “Even though Summit Lord Ju is gone, his name remains. I heard that someone else picked the Seventh Sword Summit, and Summit Lord Ju returned back unhappily. Thereafter, the elder who picked that sword summit disappeared without a trace. Of course, these are only rumours but there's always some truth within rumours. Moreover, many people in the sect worship Summit Lord Ju. Once you choose Seventh Sword Summit, it will immediately end up in Summit Lord Ju’s ears.”
Mo Wuji chuckled, “He has already left but he's still so tyrannical?”
Fei Bingzhu laughed dryly but did not reply.
“Pill Master Mo is here? If Pill Master Mo wishes to pick a sword summit, please follow me.” Pill Refiner's Hall's Deacon Yuan called out from afar.
“Then I will have to thank Deacon Yuan. I was just intending to take a look at Seventh Sword Summit,” Mo Wuji answered remotely.
Fei Bingzhu continued to whisper, “Senior apprentice brother Mo, if you don't have high requirements for spiritual energy, then I would suggest Lotus Sword Summit. The previous summit lord was Guan Li, and he also previously stayed in your Blood Lotus Lake. There's only one weakness to the Lotus Sword Summit, and that's because it's too close to the Hanging Sword Cliff. As a result, the spiritual energy there is a little weaker. It's good enough for normal people, but it wouldn't be enough for Spirit Building Stage cultivators and above…”
At the moment, Yuan Qi was already approaching and Fei Bingzhu immediately shut his mouth. Fei Bingzhu seemed to have a deep understanding towards Lotus Sword Summit. If not for Yuan Qi coming over, he might have talked for a good half a day.
Mo Wuji patted Fei Bingzhu, “Junior apprentice brother Fei, I’ll go choose my sword summit first. We'll talk in the future.”
Yuan Qi said smilingly to Mo Wuji, “Pill Master Mo, do you want me to bring you over to Seventh Sword Summit?”
After hearing that Lotus Sword Summit was near to the Hanging Sword Cliff, Mo Wuji was already inclined to it. He laughed and said, “I will have to trouble Deacon Yuan to show me the locations of the uninhabited sword summits on a map.”
“Then I would need Pill Master Mo to follow me to the Sword Summit Chambers,” Yuan Qi made a gesture, beckoning Mo Wuji to follow him.
Actually, Mo Wuji's allocation of a sword summit was not related to Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi only took the initiative to help Mo Wuji to improve their relations.
The Sword Summit Chambers was on the second floor of the Hall of Affairs. Perhaps it was due to Yuan Qi's presence, but the disciples at the Sword Summit Chambers were especially accommodating. Not only did they bring up the map, they even offered to take out the individual blueprints of the uninhabited sword summits.
Mo Wuji took a look at the map; it was as Fei Bingzhu said, Lotus Sword Summit was indeed the closest to the Hanging Sword Cliff.
“Pill Master Mo is interested in the Seventh Sword Summit. Take out the detailed blueprints for the Seventh Sword Summit for him,” Yuan Qi took the initiative to help Mo Wuji ask.
