How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 277: Please, Young Master, Ascend the Peak

Currently, aside from the Li Palace, no one knows that Lin Xiaosu played the most crucial role in this calamitous event.

As long as it’s mentioned to Lu Sanqian, him keeping it a secret is only natural.

This way, there’s no need for him to stand at the forefront and become the focal point of the Kun Cang Eighty three Peaks, oh no, eighty two peaks’ powerhouses...

Conversely, once he becomes this focal point, there are ten thousand possibilities for what happens next.

Feng Ji’s reminder, with good intentions, is objectively responsible.

For an unknown novice with just Observing Earth Realm cultivation to become the focus of Kun Cang’s powerhouses is, in any case, unwise.

Lin Xiaosu lightly smiled, "I appreciate Sister’s concern, but my subsequent plans cannot do without this astonishing stroke, so even if it’s risky, I can’t afford to care."

"Subsequent plans? You have more to come?" Feng Ji’s eyes widened.

"Does Sister still wish to continue watching?" Lin Xiaosu blinked. "I should tell you, the benefits I promised you haven’t been given yet..."

Feng Ji groaned, "Is this a temptation?"

"Consider it so. Ordinary people are tempted by benefits, but for a celestial being like you, Sister, only curiosity might keep you around me a few more days. I think you must be very curious about how this unknown novice messed with Kun Cang step by step..."

Feng Ji’s eyes turned white with less black, "Celestial being... Are you sure you meant to describe me? Could it be the words meant to allure Lu Rusi, mistakenly used incoherently?"

"How could it be? Is it too much to describe Sister as a celestial being? Not at all! Sister’s Sword Dao is like an immortal soaring from the heavens... Honestly, if Sister doesn’t mind, I truly feel you’re more beautiful now, really!"

"I’ve heard there are ophthalmologists in the outside world. If you’re fortunate enough to return, remember to see one, your eyes are truly blind..." Feng Ji looked at him with great sympathy.

Thud!

The door was knocked.

Feng Ji lightly moved her hand, and the door opened.

Outside stood two people, the Lu family siblings, appearing like a golden boy and jade girl.

They deeply bowed.

Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji stood to welcome them.

Lu Rusi slowly straightened her waist, "For a hundred years, the Li Palace has harbored deep resentment. Young Master Lin performed miracle healing, my father has gathered all disciples on Xiaoyao Peak to welcome you. If you don’t mind making this public, please ascend the peak!"

This sentence still presented a choice.

If you wish, make it public.

If not, you don’t have to, everything depends on your word.

Lin Xiaosu slightly smiled, "I have always been open and upright in the outside world. Entering Kun Cang, I’m not accustomed to hiding. Let’s go!"

"Please, Young Master!"

"Please!"

The four passed through the city, Lin Xiaosu first revealed his true face.

But beside him, Feng Ji remained the Demon faced Witch; Lin Xiaosu chose to expose himself, but Feng Ji did not.

Because she was not just herself.

Behind her was Shenghua Valley.

Even if she could make her own choice, she couldn’t decide for her Master...

On Xiaoyao Peak, half the peak was ruins.

Upon stepping onto Xiaoyao Peak, Lin Xiaosu’s mind unconsciously returned to the recent fight, more precisely, the moment when Lu Sanqian’s True Essence Dharma Image was a thousand zhang in the sky.

He finally understood the strict hierarchies in the cultivation path...

Between Observing human, Observing Earth, and Observing Heaven, although the differences are vast, they are within normal range since they all belong to the same realm, with differences in tiers.

But the gap between Observing Heaven and Enlightenment Realm is too immense.

It’s a realm gap.

The lowest Enlightenment Realm facing the highest Observing Realm could be decided with a single slap.

This is the level he can currently comprehend in the cultivation hierarchy, so what is beyond this level?

It’s truly unimaginable...

Above, countless people stood in two rows, some were from the Li Palace, and a large number from Xiaoyao Palace.

Seeing his slightly astonished expression, Lu Rusi softly smiled, a strand of voice like silk entered his ear, "Young Master Lin, they have already ingested my ’Soft Silk Around.’ Should they dare to rebel afterward, it will be self-destruction."

This voice was similar to Ding Ruoshui’s secret transmission that day.

It had the essence of Ancient Martial secret transmission; evidently, she too mastered it.

Lin Xiaosu mimicked, controlling his voice with True Qi, attempting to form a line of response, "Miss Lu’s ’Iron Blood Silk,’ strengthens oneself, undermines the enemy, solidifies internally, shows benevolence externally, what an excellent strategy!"

Lu Rusi’s beautiful eyes were full of excitement, "Young Master saw through what I’ve been plotting for years with just one sentence!" freёnovelkiss.com

At this moment, she felt a very peculiar sensation within.

What kind of feeling?

Gold is easy to find, a confidant is hard to come by.

Though she was a child of Jianghu, she possessed strategy, unlike an ordinary Jianghu girl.

In her world, there were Jianghu matters, but in her eyes, there was Jianghu politics.

Kun Cang’s Jianghu youths rarely had Jianghu politics in their sight.

And this Young Master before her, did.

Because the four points he mentioned were the primary reasons she relinquished Li Palace’s feud and subdued Xiaoyao Palace’s disciples and traitors.

For Li Palace and Xiaoyao Palace’s intense feud, in the eyes of a typical Li Palace person, as long as they’re in power, even if Xiaoyao Palace’s dogs have to be killed and cooked, and the people eradicated for revenge.

But she actively petitioned her father to let her handle it.

Her approach was extremely gentle, even causing confusion and anger among many Li Palace disciples.

However, her painstaking efforts are not easily understood by ordinary people.

Killing solves hatred, but for a sect to establish itself in Kun Cang, it cannot act on impulses.

If you kill all these core forces, Li Palace with only around three hundred people, how can it stand?

On the contrary, retaining these people achieves four benefits.

First, directly strengthening Li Palace.

Second, the remaining forces of Xiaoyao Palace would have to consider their relatives in Li Palace if they wish to cause trouble, and they can even remotely control these forces through those under control.

Third, seamlessly taking over Xiaoyao Palace’s financial resources without starting from scratch.

Fourth, standing on the moral high ground of Jianghu, showcasing Li Palace’s benevolence, making it difficult for other sects to argue if they plan to cause trouble...

These are the keys to establishing a sect.

These are the larger schemes, visions, and wisdom beyond Jianghu’s confrontations.

Her father, though a hero of his time, might not have seen it all; her brother, though a Jianghu elite, might not have seen it all.

Yet, he saw it all at a glance.

His larger scheme surpassed her father and brother.

His strategy resonated with hers.

In her heart’s sway, Lin Xiaosu’s words reached her ear, "So, Jianghu isn’t just about fights."

These words surprised Lu Rusi.

For she clearly felt, these words were for her ears only.

Just now, Lin Xiaosu’s first "secret transmission" was crude, like a child learning to speak, but this sentence, he did it perfectly...

Secret transmission operates by controlling sound waves with True Qi, achievable only when one’s True Qi is at their command, generally, only achievable by Observing Heaven realm practitioners.

Of course, some secret techniques or special constitutions, like those mastering a Water Secret Technique, can direct sound waves like water, precisely wherever desired...

If Lin Xiaosu had reached Observing Heaven, Lu Rusi wouldn’t be surprised, but he hadn’t.

Had Lin Xiaosu known some secret techniques, she wouldn’t be surprised, but he had neither special constitution nor cultivation techniques.

Had Lin Xiaosu known it from the start, it wouldn’t be surprising either.

This remarkable Young Master was proficient in arrays; mastering the not-so-advanced secret transmission wasn’t surprising.

But Lin Xiaosu didn’t know it from the start.

Within two sentences, he mastered it...

Is this learned and applied on the spot?

If so, that’s terrifying.

This learning ability is defying the heavens!

At the peak of Xiaoyao, Lu Sanqian personally welcomed them, behind him, the elders of Li Palace bowed in unison, surrounded by a welcoming crowd, escorting Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji into the Guest Pavilion.

The Guest Pavilion, one of the few remaining intact buildings on Xiaoyao Peak.

Inside, the aroma of wine and meat filled the air.

Outside, there were ruins.

Li Palace disciples discussed the legendary Young Master’s legendary arrays.

Patches of disciples were bewildered in the wind...

They were originally Xiaoyao Palace disciples.

They once contemplated going out of the palace to find the Demon faced Witch, hoping to earn great merits and rewards upon return.

But today, the Demon faced Witch swaggered into Xiaoyao Peak, while the Palace Master and all elders accompanied her for drinks.

And them?

Only able to drink the wind outside.

Times have changed, the world has changed...

The next morning.

Lin Xiaosu opened the door and saw Lu Rusi.

Lu Rusi respectfully bowed, "Young Master Lin, my father has specifically instructed that if Young Master wishes to practice swordsmanship in Li Ren Valley, my humble self will fulfill this request."

Lin Xiaosu sighed, "It was a casual remark with your respected father, yet he made special arrangements, truly a trustworthy person!"

Lu Rusi smiled, "May I ask which sect the swordsmanship Young Master has practiced belongs to?"

"To be honest, I have never practiced swordsmanship."

Lu Rusi said, "Since you’ve never practiced, our palace’s ’Li Ren Swordsmanship’ can be your introductory Sword Dao. This ’Li Ren Sword Manual,’ my father has kept for a hundred years, I’ll give it to you today for understanding."

She raised her hand, taking out an ancient book from her bosom.

The ancient book had a deep yellow hue, the pages extremely old.

Lin Xiaosu stared at the four ancient script on the cover, slightly stunned, "This sword manual... the Palace Master has kept it for a hundred years?"

"Yes!" Lu Rusi said, "Li Ren Valley is where the Three Ancestors of Li Palace comprehended swordsmanship, and to grasp the true essence of ancient great power’s swordsmanship, you must learn the Li Ren Sword. Hence, during Xiaoyao Palace’s hundred-year occupation of Li Ren Valley, they never gave up searching for this manual. Knowing its importance, father has never let it leave his side. Even for my brother and me, we’ve only received his oral teachings, never seeing this manual firsthand. Today, thanks to Young Master, I finally get to see it personally."

Saying this, Lu Rusi smiled like a flower.

Lin Xiaosu deeply felt, "Such a treasure, the Palace Master generously shows me, how can I express my gratitude?"

"You have a great favor in keeping Li Palace alive. Giving you this manual is but a trifle," Lu Rusi said, "My father has clearly stated, this manual is temporarily given to you for understanding, and the sister accompanying you can also study it together."

Saying this, she glanced at the adjacent guest room.

The guest room door gently opened.
