Chapter 70 - Joining Ethereal Peak
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The thing that truly shocked the five peak masters was not the fact that Su Zimo had endured through the eight distresses.
It was that slash of his.
As Perfected Golden Cores, all five of them could sense the sort of energy the slash carried along – its might had surpassed even the full strength of a Perfected Qi Refinement Warrior!
For a mere mortal to surpass the strength of a Perfected Qi Refinement Warrior with just a burst of his physical body, what sort of a phenomenon was that?
That was proof that this man’s body was as tough as spirit beasts! In fact, he might even be able to match early-stage Foundation Establishment spirit demons!
Not just that, Su Zimo’s slash carried a heavy killing intent!
This man must have killed quite a number of times to display a slash as such!
After giving his instructions, the disheveled old man waved his robes and left.
“I’ll be troubling you then, senior brother,” Su Zimo greeted with cupped fists.
Xue Yi smiled and waved it off. “It’s fine, don’t stand on courtesy.”
He brought Su Zimo before a majestic cockloft and introduced, “This is our Elixir Peak’s Spirit Weapon Chamber. If any of the trial disciples from the five peaks want a spirit weapon, they would have to come exchange for it using their contribution points. To exchange for spirit stones, elixirs and cultivation manuals, one would have to use contribution points too.”
“How do you get contribution points?” Su Zimo asked.
“There is a mission stele within the five peaks that will refresh with new missions every now and then. The greater the difficulty of the missions, the more contribution points they give.”
Xue Yi brought Su Zimo to the Spirit Weapon Chamber and greeted the elderly guard, “Senior, this is a new disciple of Weapon Peak and he’s here for a sect badge.”
“Oh, name?”
The elderly guard opened his sleepy eyes and asked feebly.
“Su Zimo.”
From his storage bag, the elderly guard retrieved a long jade badge where one side was etched with mysterious patterns and the other side was smooth and blank.
With his sharp nails, the elderly guard shot out a stream of spirit qi and wrote down in cursive letters – Su Zimo.
Tossing the badge out, the elderly guard went back to sleep.
Su Zimo took the badge over and examined it to find out that there was nothing extraordinary about it.
Xue Yi smiled. “Junior brother, don’t look down on this sect badge. Holding it gives you freedom in and out of the sect and even the mystifying fog barrier outside can’t affect you.”
Su Zimo nodded his head and kept it carefully.
Suddenly, Xue Yi slapped his own head as though he recalled something. He then turned and smiled to the elderly guard. “Senior, are you forgetting about something?”
Without even opening his eyes, the elderly guard tossed out a storage bag casually.
Receiving it, Xue Yi passed it to Su Zimo. “Junior brother, there’s a manual for the Spirit Peering Art and Qi Condensation along with 10 inferior-grade spirit stones. Do keep it well.”
Xue Yi knew that Su Zimo had not mastered Qi Condensation yet and hence opened the storage bag before placing one of the two manuals in the latter’s hands.
He summoned a flying sword and had Su Zimo hop on it. Arriving at the mid of the peak, he pointed to a row of cave abodes. “Weapon Peak does not have much disciples so many of our cave abodes are empty. Just pick whichever one you fancy, junior brother.”
Remembering that he had to cultivate his Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo chose a secluded one at the corner as his home in Ethereal Peak.
