C1072 Hidden Peak Meeting
"Oh right, why did the three of you coincidentally come to find me? Is there something you need?" Ding Zhantian suddenly changed the topic as if he remembered something.
Elder Nie smacked his forehead as he yelled, "I was so concerned about this kid that I forgot about the real thing. It's like this …" He was preparing to report the latest news to the Patriarch. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed Ye Feii, who was quietly listening to the side. He couldn't help but shut his mouth and gave the family head a look of inquiry.
"Feel free to speak!" The patriarch waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Recently, a foreign delegate under our tutelage had discovered a very important piece of information when investigating the area of influence of the Mad Knife Dojo." "Yes, Elder Nie." Elder Nie said with a serious face. They did not know what kind of great luck they had recently, but they actually obtained a large amount of Silver Mirror Iron from who knows where. Now, he was using all his strength to craft ten unique treasured weapons, the 'Snow Moon Saber'. It seemed like he was preparing for the four year competition three months from now. Patriarch, the situation is not good for us. "
"Oh, there's actually such a thing." Ding Zhantian clenched his fist and then slowly sat on the chair, not saying anything for a long time.
"Is' Snow Moon Blade 'very powerful? is comparable to my brother's Fleeting Sword? " Ouyang Xueqing, who was standing to the side, curled her lips and said with some disdain.
"Hmph, what does this little girl know?" The 'Snow Moon Blade' with the ability to unleash the full extent of the strength of the blade technique was not something that a normal flowery style could compare to. Moreover, his Mad Knife Dojo had been very low key for the past two years or so. It was unknown to others just how many realms his disciples had cultivated to. Now that you have the Silver Mirror Iron, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger. "
"You! "My brother is not a flashy guy!" Ouyang Yuqing pouted. He was about to cry from anger.
"I was just making an analogy with him, and didn't say anything about him. At such a young age, you shouldn't randomly choose between the lines! " Elder Nie said slowly. He was a lot weaker in front of the family head, but if he didn't find a way to make up for it in front of the juniors, then he would be too depressed as the Great Elder.
"Alright, what time is it? Little Brother Ye Feii is still here." Ding Zhantian shouted impatiently.
Ye Feii rubbed his nose and cursed in his heart, "It's not that I want to hear the secret of your sect. Why did you have to tell me in front of me? What does that have to do with me? Does the Patriarch's style of doing things seem crude, or does it have a deeper meaning? " Thinking about this, Ye Feii stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have been lying on my bed for a long time, so I feel a little tired and I want to go out for a walk. "Everyone, feel free to do as you please." As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Mm, that's good as well. Yuqing? " Ding Zhantian called out to his niece.
"Disciple is here, may I know Senior Master's instructions?" Ouyang Yuqing replied tenderly.
"Go accompany Little Brother Ye Feii, just in case something bad happens to him before his injuries recover." Ding Zhantian silently gave her a look as he instructed.
Ouyang Yuqing naturally understood what was going on. He looked at Ye Feii with his watery almond eyes, "Brother Ye can't be detesting this little sister as being in his way, right?"
"Eh, it is my honor to have such a beautiful woman with me." Miss Ouyang, please! " Ye Feii grinned and said noncommittally.
At this point, even a fool could tell that Ding Zhantian had other plans for him. However, he was a low-level martial artist. Other than being younger and more quick-witted, what was there to be fond of from him?
"Don't tell me it's because that girl has feelings for me?" Ye Feii looked at Ouyang Yuqing, whose cheeks were flushed red, and thought to himself. However, he immediately shook his head to reject the idea.
The master of a sect, in addition to his own cultivation, was also the sect's legacy and development. Not by kinship or any other emotion.
"It can't be that you sincerely want to recruit me, right?" The moment this idea popped out, Ye Feii felt that it was unbelievable. The core of puppet Ding Family and inner and outer sect disciples combined had a few hundred people, and in terms of age and talent, he was definitely the type that would be drowned in a pile of people. How could he receive such preferential treatment?
"Brother Ye, what are you daydreaming for? "Let's go." Ouyang Xueqing gestured a few times in front of Ye Feii and then pulled his hand and left without saying a word.
Soon, Ouyang Guanglu also took his leave. Only the two elders were left staring at each other speechlessly.
"Elder Nie, quickly call the other five division lords over. I want to convene an emergency meeting." Ding Zhantian pondered for a moment and instructed the Great Elder.
"Yes, I understand." The Great Elder replied and left.
"Wait, call all of the Guest Warriors who are still at the door as well." Ding Zhantian added...
The four seasons of the Sky Mist Mountain was shrouded in thin clouds of smoke, and the puppet Ding Family took up control of the nine peaks to the east. One peak was the storage room for resources, and the other peak was a special training ground for the disciples within the sect. This kind of training ground was obviously not an ordinary training ground, it also had hurdles, cliffs climbing, and other basic training items. There were also arenas to fight against the Savage Beast, and in the canyons between the two peaks, there was a lake that was formed from a large river flowing above. There were a lot of wooden stakes in the middle of the lake. Every day, there would always be a lot of people walking on them. Their movements were as light as a spring swallow …
Puppet Ding Family for outsiders only meant the location of the Nine Peaks. In fact, there was a hidden mountain behind the Nine Peaks, which was the core location of Ding Family.
The hidden peak was no more than a thousand meters above sea level. It was surrounded by a large group of people and was shrouded in mist all year round, making it extremely inconspicuous.
It was because the previous generation's family head valued this point that he treated this place as his foundation.
The Hidden Peak not only had the sect's ancestral halls, but also the wealth and treasures that had been accumulated over the course of four or five hundred years.
Under normal circumstances, no disciple or guest would appear here.0
Yet, it was different now.
There seemed to be more than ten people gathered in a natural looking cave at the waist of the hidden peak. The wind outside was blowing and grass and trees were flying everywhere. Surprisingly, there were a few people who were performing Qing Gong as they approached.
"This is?" There were a few people in uniform who had obviously been here before, and their faces were full of surprise. They were naturally guests serving in Ding Family.
A short while later, sixteen people had already gathered outside the cave. One Peak Master, one Master, ten people including Ding Zhantian, plus six upper rank Guest Warriors.
Guests were also of various ranks, but not in terms of strength. The reason these six people were able to come here, was because they had been listed in the Ding Family for more than twenty years, and were extremely active as well. Even if they came and went as they pleased, they would often linger within the sect to receive missions, or lurk within other areas of influence to act as spies.
Of course, this kind of sacrifice was not free of charge. The sect would make the appropriate compensation or reward according to their contribution. They provide financial and human resources support when they are on the verge of a breakthrough.
"All of you have gone through thick and thin, thank you all for your hard work!" A man in his forties walked out of the crowd and cupped his hands as he spoke to the crowd. It was Ding Zhantian.
"Greetings, Patriarch!" The Elders and Guest Warriors replied in unison. He then entered the cave in twos and threes.
The cave was cool and refreshing, giving people a refreshing feeling. Everyone followed the patriarch as they zigzagged through many corridors, passing through many stone doors. Finally, the scenery in front of them became bright and a brightly lit hall appeared in front of them.
A long oval table with sixteen sandalwood chairs.
The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance. Even though these fellows weren't young, they had seen many good things and couldn't help but slightly squint their eyes as they greedily breathed in large mouthfuls of air.
"This is Martial Arts Tea!" One of the sixty year olds said with a face full of shock.
He then threw himself onto the long table, took a cup of tea, and brought it to his nose to take a sniff. Even if the others didn't understand this item, they would have understood that it was a rare good item. They immediately put down their status and took their teacups to enjoy.
"Haha, martial arts tea can clear up a person's mind for three days just by smelling it. "Regardless of whether it is training or studying scriptures, you will be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort." Elder Bai smiled.
"Everyone, drink up after sniffing for a moment to prevent the effects from draining away." The head of the pill concocting department, Qiu Huihan, reminded him with good intentions.
The Guest Warriors felt a chill in their hearts. They hurriedly put the tea into their mouths and swallowed it bit by bit. He was still reminiscing for a while. His thoughts shifted to the martial arts he had cultivated. He could not help but feel surprised and happy as he could faintly see the signs of enlightenment from many of the questions he had not figured out.
"I thank the Patriarch and the Elders for their hospitality. I, Wang Xiangui, have been immersed in the Way of Tea for dozens of years, but this is the first time I've tasted such a good tea." A middle-aged man with long eyes and eyebrows said gratefully.
When the other guests heard this, they also put down their teacups and cupped their hands in thanks.
"Everyone, you have served under my tutelage for many years. Although this martial arts tea is not easy to come by, if you can profit from it, then it can be considered a blessing in disguise for my Ding Family." Ding Zhantian smiled and said sincerely. He then signaled the elders of one of the divisions with his eyes. The latter slightly nodded and silently withdrew. After a while, a plate of bright red agate like berries was served.
"This is …" Chi Zhe Hong? " A slightly plump martial artist stammered, his eyes slowly burning with a fiery color.
"Is it really Chi Zizhong?" I've only heard about it in the ancient texts. I've heard that it grows around the active volcanic veins, and the highest plant growth is only one meter, and every three years, there are no more than thirty fruits per plant. Due to it being nourished by the fire attribute over a long period of time, a small fruit had an endless amount of energy within it. An ordinary warrior would be able to train hard enough to last a year. Even if old fellows like us who have been stuck in a certain Realm for a long time were to eat one pill, they would be able to make their blood flow rapidly, and recover to the peak of their youth within a short period of time. Another knowledgeable fighter said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the silence in the hall could be heard.
Everyone looked at Chi Zihong in a daze, but no one made a move. Very quickly, the sound of swallowing came together. Ding Zhantian stood up and smiled, "Everyone is using Qing Gong here with your Qi. Don't you feel that your mouth is dry and needs this little thing that can moisturize your lungs?" As he said that, his eyes swept across everyone's face before he smiled again and said, "Forget it, I'll taste it first. You can do as you wish."
