Chapter 5: Stir up a Thousand Waves. Who Is the Mysterious Disciple?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Grand Elder had always been serious, but at this moment, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth.

“If this person is chosen as the lead disciple, he will definitely be able to lead the sect to stand out. It’s just that I don’t know who he is. He must be one of the personal disciples. Don’t hide it anymore.”

After all, this person was able to use such an exquisite sword move, coupled with such power. Only a personal disciple who was taught by the elders would be able to perform such a move.

However, all the elders looked at each other in dismay. Unexpectedly, none of them could say a name with certainty.

“I heard that the Third Elder’s disciple has signs of a breakthrough. Could it be him?”

“That good-for-nothing of mine, how could he be able to use such a powerful sword technique? I think the Fourth Elder is more likely.”

“Don’t be modest. I heard that the disciple of the Second Elder is almost at the Golden Core Stage.”

...

The crowd talked for a long time but still could not come up with a name. Seeing this, the Grand Elder repeatedly sighed and shook his head, “I don’t know what to say. You don’t even know that your disciple has broken through.”

He immediately gave the order to gather all the core personal disciples.

For a time, many purple-robed personal disciples stood on the Chiyu Peak. They all had puzzled expressions, not understanding why they were suddenly summoned here.

In addition to their own master, there were also the elders. With such a lineup, they thought that something had happened.

“May I ask, Elders, why have you summoned us here?”

The Grand Elder did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “How’s your cultivation progress recently? Has anyone broken through today?”

His eyes lit up as he scanned the crowd. However, after waiting for a long time, no one dared to reply.

For a moment, the entire place was completely silent. It was as if one could even hear the sound of a pin hitting the ground.

Seeing this scene, the smiles of the elders froze on their faces, especially the Grand Elder. He furrowed his brows and revealed some doubt. His expression gradually turned cold.

“Alright, there’s nothing else for you here. Go back and practice your martial arts.”

The sudden change in attitude made all the disciples confused. On the other hand, the expressions of the other elders turned sour too. It was as if they had made a big mistake.

The crowd did not dare to ask, so they could only go back in confusion.

The Third Elder was a hot-tempered person. He could not hide his frustration, so he scolded his own disciple. “You bunch of useless people, hurry up and go to the Mission Hall to accept missions and practice. It’s been so long and you still can’t break through. What a shame!”

The pitiful disciples of the Third Elder were reprimanded in public. The others could not help but show sympathy. However, looking at their master’s ugly face, it was as if they were about to suffer the same fate.

After these disciples left, the Grand Elder and a few other elders gathered together.

“Could it be that we were wrong just now? It wasn’t someone who broke through, but a disciple who was practicing the sword?”

“On the martial arts practice field, we’ve never seen a disciple use such a sword technique.”

Everyone was puzzled. If not for the sword mark on the peak still being there, they would have thought that the movement just now was just an illusion.

An elder joked, “Since it’s not a personal disciple, this person must be an inner or outer disciple, right?”

No one took these words seriously. After all, there were still some differences between the inner disciples and the personal disciples, let alone the outer disciples. They could not come into contact with any profound cultivation methods.

Their cultivation was ordinary, and their strength was not strong. How could they use such exquisite sword techniques? Unfortunately, who would have thought that although it was just a joke, it was so close to the truth.

At this moment, Gu Xi still did not know how much shock he had brought to the elders.

After creating such a huge commotion, he was worried that he would be discovered, so he had already returned to his room.

“I did so much damage with a single branch. Wouldn’t it be even more powerful if I used an actual weapon?!”

Recalling the shocking sword attack just now, Gu Xi lay on his bed. He tossed and turned, deciding that he had to get a suitable weapon. If he wanted to do a good job, he had to first get a weapon. He could not possibly fight by using random branches on the ground.

The next morning, Gu Xi left the sect and went straight to the largest chamber of commerce branch in the vicinity.

The Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce spread across the entire continent. It was said that as long as it was not a particularly remote place, their branch would be there. Moreover, their background was extremely mysterious, and no one had ever seen the real boss.

There were all sorts of opinions regarding the identity and origins of the boss. However, one thing was certain, this person or group was extremely powerful. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to have such great influence. It was almost as if the chamber of commerce had spread throughout the entire continent.

Looking at the simple and unadorned buildings in front of him, Gu Xi could not help but sigh. As expected of the largest building here. The other chambers of commerce seemed to pale in comparison.

Walking in, there was a dazzling array of items on the shelves. There were all kinds of items, including elixirs, magic treasures, talismans, cultivation methods, and so on. It could be said that they had everything.

Gu Xi went straight for the weapons, and there were quite a number of them in the cabinets. Such a large store naturally had quite a few servants, but no one actually paid attention to him.

A few of the servants were chatting when they saw Gu Xi walk into the store. They prepared to serve him, but then they saw his shabby clothing. They immediately stopped and ignored him, thinking that he must be a window shopper.

Gu Xi did not care about their neglect. He was fine browsing on his own.

This branch had several floors. The hall here was open to the public. The ones upstairs were for those with high status or power. Someone like Gu Xi would definitely not be able to go up.

However, the things in the hall were sufficient for him. Swords, spears, and halberds. It was simply dazzling to look at. Moreover, these weapons had a glow to them, and they looked really good.

Unfortunately, these were not what he wanted. Suddenly, Gu Xi paused, as if he was attracted by something.

It was a sword that was placed in a corner. Unlike other neatly placed items, this sword seemed to have been casually thrown here. It was dusty, and the blade of the sword was covered in rust.

It was an ordinary iron sword that no one cared about. Such things could be seen everywhere in the blacksmiths’ shops on the street. However, Gu Xi seemed to be attracted by something. He gingerly picked up the iron sword. As soon as he touched it, he felt as if there was an electric current flowing through his body.

He muttered to himself, “This is it.”

For some reason, Gu Xi felt that this sword was quite pleasing to his eyes. Just as he was about to buy it, he realized that there were only ten low-grade spirit stones in his pocket.

The currency here was 1:100. For example, one supreme-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 100 high-grade spirit stones. One high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 100 middle-grade spirit stones. One middle-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 100 low-grade spirit stones, and so on.

Logically speaking, the price of such an iron sword should not be expensive. Presumably, ten low-grade spirit stones should be enough to buy it.
