Chapter 135: Qin Hongyi, Who Doesn't Know How to Fight

It doesn't matter if the identity jade token isn't replaced!

However!

Trying to take back the flying sword and the Profound Heaven Sword Sutra is out of the question!

Su Yizhao naturally wasn't going to return something that was already in his hands.

He cupped his hands toward the First Elder and said, "If it can't be replaced, then forget about it! Actually, I don't really need it!"

Although he didn't know how powerful that young man was, he was at most at the peak of the Seven Spirits Realm!

He truly didn't believe that anyone could surpass him among peers of the same realm!

All his spells were at Grand Perfection!

And they were all seventh-tier spells, too!

Who else could achieve that?

That was just the first reason.

Secondly, having all spells at Grand Perfection seemed to have given him a certain level of insight.

An inexplicable sort of insight.

For instance, during that punch just now, he had drawn upon that very insight!

A Grand Perfection Mountain-Splitting Fist was indeed powerful!

Yet, without that kind of insight, it would have been difficult to achieve such an effect!

That insight instinctively compelled him to mobilize his vital energy, physical body, and soul simultaneously!

Judging by the result, the might was truly formidable!

At this moment, Shang Zhentian asked in surprise, "You genuinely don't need it?"

Mo Tiangtian seized the opportunity to chime in, "The First Elder doesn't need to ask again. Since he says he doesn't need it, then he truly doesn't need it!"

Not cherishing it!

That was the ultimate proof that he didn't need it!

Su Yizhao nodded, then suddenly asked, "Even though I don't need it, the sect should need it, right?"

Everyone fell silent!

It felt like things were being turned upside down!

An elite disciple like him naturally shouldn't be killed off casually by others!

If the sect didn't protect him properly and word got out, they would become the laughingstock of other factions.

For instance, the Northwest Continent, or the Deep Sea Demonic cultivators.

Those forces were undoubtedly keeping a close eye on each other's monstrous talents!

Shang Zhentian pondered for a few breaths, then sighed helplessly, "We'll treat this instance as an exception. Give it to him!"

Mo Tiangtian was about to object when he heard Su Yizhao immediately reply, "Many thanks, First Elder! I promise I won't waste it!"

Watching Su Yizhao's beaming face, Mo Tiangtian cursed inwardly.

Damn it!

Did that look like someone who didn't need it?

Another elder tossed over a jade token, which Su Yizhao quickly caught.

He similarly forced out a drop of his vital blood and infused it into the jade token.

Curious, Su Yizhao asked, "What on earth is inside this? Why is its might so immense?"

When he crushed the previous one, he only had time to feel a wave of lingering fear before that young cultivator was already finished; he truly hadn't seen it clearly!

With a pained expression, Mo Tiangtian explained, "This is formed when a senior of our sect reached the end of their lifespan and was on the verge of falling, storing their entire profound energy within it!"

Su Yizhao was instantly stunned!

It was that precious?

No wonder its power was so terrifying!

Seeing the somewhat gloomy moods of everyone present, he couldn't help but say, "Don't be sad, I'll just save a few more of them in the future!"

Everyone immediately shot him looks of disdain!

They had seen thick-skinned people before, but someone this thick-skinned was a rare sight indeed!

Putting aside whether he could ever reach that realm in the first place.

Even if he did reach it, not every cultivator could face their own peaceful death and dissolution with such equanimity!

"Now that you've become an elite disciple, especially one like you, show yourself less and focus on cultivation!" Shang Zhentian suddenly spoke up.

Su Yizhao was startled!

Maintaining a low profile had always been his core nature!

Why bring this up out of nowhere?

Seeing his confusion, Xuan Wuji reminded him, "Your nickname!"

Nickname?

Su Yizhao suddenly remembered!

The Brothel Swordsman?

He was instantly rendered speechless!

That was a tavern!

Shang Zhentian seized the moment to say, "Indeed, it's best to visit brothels less often! That title of Brothel Swordsman cannot be kept anymore."

Su Yizhao naturally agreed wholeheartedly!

He suddenly thought of that young man and asked, "Who was that young man?"

Once again, everyone fell into collective silence!

Shang Zhentian softly replied, "Better not to ask for now! You defeated his lingering projection, so one day, he will come looking for you!"

Su Yizhao was shocked!

Come looking for me?

Damn it!

Something felt terribly wrong here!

"What is his cultivation level?" Su Yizhao hastily asked.

Mo Tiangtian smiled sinisterly, "He spent eighteen years cultivating through the nine levels, advancing straight to the peak of the Nine Voids Realm!"

N-Nine Voids Realm, peak?

Su Yizhao was speechless!

Now *that* was a true genius!

And the guy didn't even have the Profound Energy Creation Technique!

Of course, he wasn't really scared!

They were fellow sect brothers after all; how could they easily resort to killing each other?

Therefore, he calmly said, "If he comes looking for me, it'll be a great opportunity to ask for some pointers!"

Mo Tiangtian asked in astonishment, "Aren't you afraid?"

Su Yizhao retorted, "We're all fellow disciples, what is there to be afraid of?"

Mo Tiangtian sneered, "He's going to kill you!"

"How could that be?" Su Yizhao couldn't help his surprise!

Shang Zhentian abruptly cut Mo Tiangtian off, saying, "Alright, go hurry up and cultivate! As for her, she's only here to look after your daily life; don't let it delay your cultivation!"

Mo Tiangtian added, "A genius who hasn't truly matured needs to undergo necessary tempering. Don't ever expect us to step in and help!"

Xuan Wuji immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "The kid Su was watched by me as he grew up!"

"Even so, I won't help him. Look at the disciples of my Mo family—do I step in to help them?" Mo Tiangtian was dead set on this.

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Shang Zhentian quickly put a stop to it. "Let's go!"

Everyone turned and flew away.

Su Yizhao brought Qin Hongyi back to his peak.

He asked seriously, "Fellow Daoist Qin, are you really...?"

Qin Hongyi replied, "Naturally it's true! Don't even think about driving me away!"

Su Yizhao: "......!"

Qin Hongyi continued, "Actually, my cultivation progresses very quickly too. I just dislike fighting, and I don't know how to fight!"

"What?" Su Yizhao was astonished!

For a cultivator to dislike fighting was fine!

However, claiming not to know how to fight was stretching it a bit too far!

Qin Hongyi looked extremely earnest and serious, "I'll only tell you this secret: actually, I'm already at the Nine Voids Realm!"

Su Yizhao was instantly struck with shock!

Damn it!

What kind of situation was this?

She didn't look very old either!

"Because my cultivation speed was too fast, and I didn't dare to fight, I had no choice but to suppress my cultivation realm and idle away my time at the auction house!"

Qin Hongyi wore a wronged expression.

In contrast, Su Yizhao felt even more wronged in his heart.

He had fought tooth and nail, even with the assistance of the Profound Energy Creation Technique, yet he still lagged behind someone who just cultivated casually!

In his dantian, the divine deer calmly remarked, "Some people are simply blessed with extraordinary natural talent and bloodlines. You just have to accept it!"

Su Yizhao was left speechless!

It wasn't that he couldn't accept it!

He just found it a little hard to swallow!

"Why tell me?" Su Yizhao asked.

Qin Hongyi smiled. "Because you're very good at fighting!"

Very good at fighting?

Was it really that simple?

Su Yizhao didn't believe it. "No other reason?"

A faint blush crept across Qin Hongyi's stunning face as she said, "If there *must* be another reason, it's probably that you're very generous!"

Three hundred million superior-grade profound stones!

And he parted with them without even blinking an eye!

That wasn't just being generous!

That was squandering wealth!

Su Yizhao felt he couldn't continue this conversation.

With this time to spare, he might as well focus on cultivation.

He crossed his legs and sat down. "What are Fellow Daoist Qin's plans?"

Qin Hongyi also sat down cross-legged and said, "Naturally, it's to take care of your daily life!"

Su Yizhao was speechless!

He was a high-level cultivator; what sort of daily life needs did he even have?

Suddenly.

A wave of fragrance drifted into his nostrils as Qin Hongyi leaned in close.

Su Yizhao was instantly startled.

"H-Hey, don't try anything forceful!"

Qin Hongyi's face instantly turned completely red as she scolded, "What on earth are you thinking about in that head of yours?"

She circulated her spiritual technique, sending a surge of pure profound energy washing over him.

Su Yizhao instantly felt a wave of comfort wash through him.

Looking down, he saw that the speckles of fresh blood on his Daoist robe had completely vanished.

"If you let your imagination run wild again, I'll dock your profound stones!"

Su Yizhao gazed at her—her exquisite face, her supple waist, her heaving peaks, and her slender legs!

Actually, being forced might have been acceptable after all...!
