After the Weapon Peak face-off, many disciples of the five peaks were still discussing and many of them were even preparing to celebrate – it was extremely lively.
Su Zimo did not join in and returned to his cave abode immediately.
Getting number one of Weapon Peak was within his expectations.
The only unexpected gain was the Mystic Gold Silk Armor in his storage pouch.
By the time he returned, it was already noon.
"I'm going into seclusion. Guard the door and don't let anyone in."
Su Zimo said to Linghu before crossing his legs and sitting on the stone bed, taking out spirit stones from his storage bag.
The next day was Talisman Peak's face-off. Su Zimo did not intend to spectate and instead focused on cultivating so that he could break through as soon as possible.
Level 9 Qi Condensation was much harder than Su Zimo had imagined.
Of course, the biggest reason was because he had wasted too much time on Array Peak for the past half a year.
In the last two months, he had spent most of his time cultivating sword wielding and sword formations – he did not have much time to raise his cultivation realm.
Within his storage bag, there was a perfect Spirit Gathering Elixir.
He was almost done absorbing more than 2,000 inferior-grade spirit stones. If he still could not break through to Level 9 Qi Condensation, Su Zimo would consume the Spirit Gathering Elixir.
The next morning.
Xue Yi and the other disciples of Weapon Peak arrived at Su Zimo's cave abode early in the morning, wanting to invite him to Talisman Peak to watch the match.
The five peaks face-off was only five days and it was the biggest event of the year in the sect. There were almost no trial disciples who would cultivate with all their might during these five days.
Even if they did not know anything about talismans, it would be nice to watch the show.
Of course, more importantly, the number one beauty of the five peaks, Leng Rou, would be participating in this year's Talisman Peak face-off. In fact, she might even get number one of Talisman Peak.
Many disciples wanted to head over to catch a glimpse of the beauty.
However, Xue Yi and the others were stopped by Linghu and could not enter. After explaining to Linghu for a long time to no avail, they could only leave.
Before long, Little Fatty arrived as well.
However, he could only leave after Linghu bared his teeth and growled.
Su Zimo was oblivious to everything that was happening outside. He was immersed in his cultivation until the third day of the five peaks face-off.
The third day, Elixir Peak face-off!
This was also the second battle between Su Zimo and Feng Haoyu.
Everyone knew that Feng Haoyu had lost a round in the Weapon Peak face-off. The fight today would definitely be even more intense and filled with gunpowder!
Pushing open the door, Su Zimo walked out of the cave.
After a day and a night, the spirit stones in his storage bag were all used up. However, his cultivation base remained at the peak of Level 8 Qi Condensation.
Su Zimo was in no hurry.
He still had time. After the Elixir Peak face-off, he would return to cultivate and consume the Spirit Gathering Elixir for another breakthrough!
Early in the morning, many disciples had already gathered on Elixir Peak.
In mid-air, there were constantly disciples flying over on their swords. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, making them look like graceful birds.
Su Zimo had just reached Elixir Peak when he was blocked by Little Fatty.
"Big brother, why didn't you come yesterday?"
"Who got number one?" Su Zimo avoided the question and asked instead.
"Of course, it was Sister Leng Rou!"
Little Fatty chuckled. "That Li Liang from Talisman Peak wasn't a match for Sister Leng Rou at all and was completely crushed. How exciting! Big brother, you didn't see how beautiful Sister Leng Rou was when she was creating talismans! "
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Right then, a jade-white palm appeared behind Little Fatty's head and knocked it with a moderate amount of force.
Even though the person's tone was cold, there wasn't much blame in it.
Su Zimo glanced sideways and met with a pair of cold eyes.
A peerlessly beautiful woman with a chilling aura stood behind Little Fatty – it was Leng Rou, a disciple of Spirit Peak.
Unexpectedly, Leng Rou nodded her head when she caught sight of Su Zimo.
Slightly stunned, Su Zimo smiled and nodded in response.
Even though both of them joined the sect at the same time, this was their first and only interaction.
However, Su Zimo was surprised. Given Leng Rou's character, she would ignore anyone who greeted her.
Even though Leng Rou did not say anything, her action was still surprising.
In reality, after the Weapon Peak face-off, Su Zimo's number one had already changed the impression of many disciples of the five peaks.
Or rather, they wanted to be on good terms with him.
No cultivator would refuse to be friends with a Weapon Refinement Master.
Everyone saw how Little Fatty obtained an inferior-grade spirit weapon yesterday. Even though they did not say anything, they were extremely envious.
"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you."
Little Fatty's shifty gaze darted between Su Zimo and Leng Rou before sniggering, "This is the number one of Talisman Peak, Sister Leng Rou. This is my big bro, number one of Weapon Peak, Su Zimo."
Su Zimo and Leng Rou exchanged glances.
Leng Rou averted her gaze while Su Zimo merely smiled with an indifferent expression.
Little Fatty blinked and continued, "Don't just stand there. Both of you have your own strengths. You can interact more in the future!"
When he said 'interact', Little Fatty winked at Su Zimo with a weird tone.
Su Zimo was fine with it but Leng Rou seemed to have thought of something as a faint blush appeared on her face. It was extremely obvious on her snow-white skin.
"Nonsense! You're asking for a beating!"
Leng Rou scolded softly and rapped Little Fatty on the head.
Little Fatty sniggered.
Right then, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a sense of enmity. Instinctively, he turned over.
Not far away, Feng Haoyu and the other Spirit Peak disciples arrived on their flying swords.
When they saw Su Zimo and Leng Rou standing together in close proximity, many Spirit Peak disciples' eyes flashed with anger.
Feng Haoyu's expression was calm and aloof as usual. However, his hands behind his back were clenched into fists.
"Bro, other than Feng Haoyu, there's another disciple of Elixir Peak called Huo Xiuyuan who's your greatest opponent in this face-off. Don't underestimate him."
Little Fatty said, "That person was the number one of Elixir Peak last year. I'm afraid he'll be even stronger this year."
Su Zimo nodded.
There were more than 200 disciples participating in Elixir Peak's face-off compared to Weapon Peak's.
More than 200 trial disciples were gathered in the Elixir Refinement Hall, waiting for the time to arrive.
Elixir refinement was different from weapon refinement.
In Weapon Peak's face-off, spirit weapons could be refined as one wished.
However, in each Elixir Peak face-off, Elixir Peak's peak master would give out a specific elixir for the participating disciples to refine. At the end, the quality of the elixir would be judged.
Therefore, before each Elixir Peak face-off, many disciples would guess what type of elixir they would be refining this time around.
If they guessed correctly, they would have a much higher chance of winning in Elixir Peak's face-off by focusing on that type of elixir.
Before long, all five peak masters arrived.
The moment it was time, the brown haired youth in the middle stood up and declared loudly, "For this Elixir Peak face-off, the elixir we're refining is …"
At that point, the brown haired youth paused for a moment. All the disciples outside the hall held their breaths and listened attentively.
The brown haired youth said slowly, "It's … the Foundation Establishment Elixir!"
The moment he said that, the crowd went into an uproar.
The Foundation Establishment Elixir was one of the hardest Grade 1 elixirs to refine.
In the past Elixir Peak face-offs, there was a situation where the Foundation Establishment Elixir was refined. However, all the participating disciples failed to form their elixirs and that Elixir Peak face-off did not determine the number one of the competition.
After that, in order to prevent such a situation from happening again, they stopped refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
To think that this year's Elixir Peak face-off would be competing for the Foundation Establishment Elixir!
