Not far from the Moon Cliff, on a ridge behind the waterfall, Yan Li stopped listening to the sound and stood there for a long time. He looked up at the starry sky that was infinitely close to him. "Opportunity, trust, I never thought I would have it again."
His eyes flashed and the corner of his mouth curled up. "Alright, Cangjian Peak, let me give you a big welcome gift, as long as you have the appetite."
As soon as he finished, his sword light flashed and he returned to the Moon Cliff. He stepped into the Cave of Contemplation and took out the six-edged object given by the Fateans. He thought about it carefully and put it on the candlestick.
He slowly took a few steps back, as though he was sizing up his meticulously prepared masterpiece. "'Surprises' always come unexpectedly. Next … "
He looked back at the sky. "It's getting late."
...
When he returned to Cangjian Peak, he saw them sitting together, drinking soup and chatting.
"Peak Master, Elder." He walked over and bowed.
"Just be casual here at Cangjian Peak." Su Xiaojian waved his hand carelessly.
Seeing that Yan Li had returned, Luo Fangshuo picked up a chair and greeted him warmly, "Junior Brother, come here. Today's soup is stewed bamboo shoots with tubular bones. The bamboo shoots in early spring are the most tender. You're in luck."
Yan Li could not refuse, so he sat down.
Luo Fangshuo poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Yan Li.
Yan Li glanced at it. The soup was light and fresh. He sniffed it and found it fresh. The smell of bamboo shoots and bone blended together perfectly. Thus, he drank it without worry.
The soup was indeed good. Seeing how the people of Cangjian Peak ate and drank naturally, it was obviously a "show".
Combined with the environment and architecture, it was hard for those who did not know the truth to imagine that this was the holy land of swordsmanship in the world.
"Are you Junior Brother Yan Li?" Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the table.
Yan Li followed the voice and saw a handsome young man coldly crossing his arms and looking at him with a judgmental gaze.
Elder Cao Zijun smiled and said, "Yan Li, let me introduce you. This is Quan Zi Gu. He is currently ranked sixth on the Prodigy Roll. "
"Senior Brother," Yan Li called out faintly.
"I heard that Junior Brother is a genius swordsman who has risen the fastest on the Prodigy List," the young man said coldly. "I'm very curious about what kind of ability you have. Why don't we have a spar?"
"I'm not feeling well. Maybe another day," said Yan Li.
"Not feeling well?" The young man, Cao Zigu, sneered and said, "What? My Pillar of Heavens Mountains is a paradise of such a level, and it has caused you, a lotus flower that has emerged from the quagmire of unaffiliated cultivators, to suffer an unprecedented impact?"
"Zi Gu, how can you say that?" Cao Zijun frowned.
"I'm just speculating." Cao Zigu sneered.
"Senior brother's speculation is very close to the truth," Yan Li said.
Cao Zigu was taken aback. He didn't expect the other party to be so indifferent to his provocation. He couldn't help but say in a sarcastic tone, "As expected of an outstanding individual among the unaffiliated cultivators. Such self-restraint is hard to catch up to."
"Just use a flying sword," Yan Li said.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"You!" Cao Zigu's face darkened. Before Yan Li came, he was the most talented rising star of the Cangjian Peak. He was only a little bit away from reaching the level of a "Sword Son". However, when Yan Li came, because he had passed the Four Entry Stages, he immediately became a hot commodity that even the Seven Meridians wanted to fight for. He was even more powerful than a "Sword Son". How could he, who was suddenly at the "last place", take it?
Therefore, when he heard the news, he rushed back and tried to use his strength to regain his position. Unfortunately, the other party refused to fight with him. His previous provocation was also easily resolved by the other party, which made him feel like he was punching cotton.
Yan Li said to Su Xiaojian, "Peak master, I'm a little tired."
"Then go back and rest first," Su Xiaojian said.
Yan Li gave a fist salute and stood up to leave. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around, saying, "Peak master, I have something to do tomorrow. I have to go down the mountain."
"What is it?" Su Xiaojian asked.
Yan Li said, "There are a few 'followers' waiting in White Water City."
"That's good too. Add some people to Cangjian Peak and liven things up," Su Xiaojian said.
Cao Zigu immediately sneered again, "Carrying the life of a young master and coming to Cangjian Peak to be the most ordinary disciple, Junior Apprentice Brother, it's really hard on you."
Yan Li smiled and left without saying anything.
Su Xiaojian smiled, "Zi Gu, what are your odds of winning against Qiu Yu now?"
Cao Zigu was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "Reporting to Peak master, I have a fifty-fifty chance of winning."
"In terms of strength, the two of you do have a fifty-fifty chance." Su Xiaojian smiled and said, "However, Qiu Yu has the Thirteen Towers, so she has a slight advantage over you. You won't deny it, right?"
Cao Zigu nodded and said, "Why does Peak master ask this?"
Su Xiaojian said, "The last time I went to the human world, I just happened to be in time for the duel between Yan Li and Qiu Yu."
Cao Zigu's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What was the result?"
"They only used one move," Su Xiaojian said.
Cao Zigu immediately laughed disdainfully, "Even that kid Yu Qiuyu couldn't take one move, it seems like the result is already known without a fight."
Su Xiaojian shook his head, "It was Qiu Yu who couldn't take one move from him."
Cao Zigu's smile immediately froze.
…
The next day, under the lead of Luo Fangshuo, the two of them flew on their swords and arrived at the Qujiang River's Wenhong Ferry, which was ten thousand miles away from Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Ten thousand miles away, it was already impossible to fly on a sword.
However, as mentioned in the preface, the Court Of Sword's mountain gate was located within a radius of ten thousand miles around Pillar of Heavens Mountains. Everything here, of course, served the Court Of Sword. Wenhong Ferry was one of them.
"All the disciples of the Court Of Sword go in and out through this ferry." Luo Fangshuo led Yan Li into the harbor, pointing at the raging river and the dock that was almost half the size of the Milky Way Port. "The number of ships that go in and out of here is not much less than the number in White Water City. Junior Brother, you can come here anytime you want. Any ship that the disciples of the Court Of Sword board, no matter where their final destination is, can be requested to go to White Water City first. "
"I don't need to take the ship." Yan Li stretched out his hand and waved, and the Song of Broken Jade appeared naturally.
Luo Fangshuo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said with great envy, "I forgot that Junior Brother has the Song of Broken Jade. From now on, whenever you meet a river, you can fly on your sword without any scruples!"
"Senior Brother, I'll see you off here. I'm leaving now." Yan Li laughed, turned into a sword light and left.
Luo Fangshuo shouted at Yan Li's back, "Junior Brother, slow down. Be careful of flying Meteorite Beasts … Also, there's a fork in the middle of the road. If you go straight, you'll go to the Milky Way Port …"
"Got it …" Yan Li's voice came from far away.
Luo Fangshuo shook his head helplessly, "Why are you acting like a child?"
Then his eyes suddenly brightened. He crossed his arms and rubbed his chin, "Hmm, this sentence is very mature. I give myself full marks."
