Chapter 1209 – Blue Point Finger
Chapter 1209 – Blue Point Finger
They returned to Qin Yu’s courtyard and sat down as host and guest. Qin Yu prepared the hot water, and soon poured two cups of tea.
“Third senior-apprentice brother, please.”
White Phoenix lifted a cup and took a deep sniff. Then, he sipped it and let out a long breath, “This is peak fog dragon tea. It really is enjoyable.”
From the look of things, he really did enjoy it and wasn’t faking at all.
Qin Yu smiled and rubbed his nose, “Third senior-apprentice brother is a true connoisseur. You can take one sip and know its origins. I only think that it tastes good. For this fog dragon tea to remain with me is like covering a pearl with dirt. I’ll gift the rest to senior-apprentice brother.”
White Phoenix waved his hand, “How can I take things that little junior-apprentice sister gave you? Besides, it’s fine to just drink top tier teas like this once or twice to satisfy my cravings. If I really get used to drinking it, then once I run out of stock I truly will be suffering. I don’t have the courage to go and ask master for it. In this peach garden, only little junior-apprentice sister is so bold. Even knowing that master was unwilling, she still pretended to know nothing and just took it away.”
Once Qin Yu was sure that he wasn’t pretending to decline, he thought and said, “Third senior-apprentice brother, since you like it, please drink some more.”
White Phoenix put down the teacup. “One cup is enough.” He looked at Qin Yu. Whether it was his eyes or tone, he was honest and open, “On the day that little junior-apprentice brother arrived at the peach garden, I told you that I wanted to have a discussion with you about the Space Laws.”
After a pause, he wryly smiled. “Of course, calling it a discussion isn’t right. In the end, I’m only a beginner who has just crossed the threshold. In fact, I was hoping to learn a bit from little junior-apprentice brother, to see if it could help me avoid some twists and turns.”
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat. What was this about? How precious were Space Laws? How could such a thing be easily taken out? He originally thought that White Phoenix was just talking because he had nothing to say, but who knew he was being serious?
This third senior-apprentice brother, he seemed a bit rude…however, looking at his demeanor, he wasn’t embarrassed by this at all, as if this was all a matter of course.
Could this be the atmosphere in the peach garden?
Qin Yu hesitated a little. Not to mention how precious the Space Laws were, the truth was that he had no idea how he had awakened it.
After all, he had cultivated the Blue Point Finger, gradually transforming it until he eventually awakened the power of space. If he had to speak about it, he wouldn’t be able to bring anything substantial to the table.
If he refused, would he be offending third senior-apprentice brother? According to Lei Xiaoyu, their honorable master didn’t pay attention to trivial masters. Elder senior-apprentice brother was in seclusion most of the time and second senior-apprentice brother was out roaming about. As a result, the business and affairs of the peach garden were more or less handled by third senior-apprentice brother.
In other words, third senior-apprentice brother was the true person in charge of the peach garden. Although this was the stage of a Saint and third senior-apprentice brother might not dare to do anything, if Qin Yu really did manage to offend him, he would definitely be able to find ways to waste his time.
For a time, Qin Yu was caught in a dilemma.
While he was hesitating, White Phoenix clapped his hands as if he realized something. “I was negligent. Little junior-apprentice brother just arrived at the peach garden so you don’t know what happens around here. I was the one in the wrong.
“The disciples of the peach garden have never kept their cultivation methods concealed. As long as it doesn’t involve their own private secrets, we would tell each other about them in order to help us cultivate. This is one of the rules that mastered laid down in the past. Of course, it isn’t free. This is a good way of earning contribution points.”
White Phoenix smiled as he finished speaking. Then, he stomped his feet on the ground and said, “Sixth junior-apprentice brother, you must be getting stuffy in the ground. Why don’t you come out and talk with us?”
Earth Stride’s head popped out, then his entire body emerged from the ground. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, “Hehe, I was just too embarrassed to show myself. After all, when it comes to something like the Space Laws, I haven’t even touched the threshold.”
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed to third senior-apprentice brother. Then, he greeted Qin Yu. “Little junior-apprentice brother, third senior-apprentice brother is right. If you are still unsure, you can ask your guardian. It knows about this.”
Without Qin Yu needing to ask anything, he could feel the thought fluctuations from the peach tree in front of him through his peach blossom mark. It was vague, but enough for him to understand that this matter was true.
Old Turtle suddenly said, “Master, there is no need to be embarrassed about not knowing anything. This isn’t actually a big deal…”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qin Yu listened to Old Turtle telling him to consider this a bit more, then he got up to open the door.
Iron Mountain stood on the other side, a simple and honest smile on his face, “Little junior-apprentice brother, I took the liberty to disturb you and also ask to share a cup of fog dragon tea with you.”
Fifth and sixth senior-apprentice brothers really were inseparable!
Qin Yu gestured for him to come in. But, he didn’t close the door. He turned and glanced at White Phoenix, “Third senior-apprentice brother, I fear that all the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters in the peach garden are interested in the Space Laws. How about we call everyone here and I can give them an explanation together?”
That’s right, Qin Yu was prepared to take out this Blue Point Finger supernatural art. Giving it to one person or giving it to a group, it was still giving it away. If so, he might as well call everyone here to gain favor.
Cough cough…White Phoenix also said that the exchange of cultivation attainments wasn’t free. Although Qin Yu had postponed earning contribution points, it was impossible to dislike having too many.
Of course, before making this decision, Qin Yu communicated with Old Turtle and had an approximate idea of what to do and say.
According to Old Turtle, the Blue Point Finger was a great supernatural art that had been engraved and marked with the Space Laws by someone. The first person who cultivated it to the great success boundary would be able to activate this mark and thus grasp the power of space.
But this was restricted to the first person!
After Qin Yu obtained the power of space, the space mark engraved on the Blue Point Finger had vanished.
Still, even though it vanished, if this supernatural art could hide a space mark within, that meant it in itself was connected to the Space Laws.
If other cultivators cultivated it, they might be able to gain some feelings from it. As for how much they gained, it would depend on their talent and individual luck.
White Phoenix smiled. “Good. Then we’ll do as little junior-apprentice brother says. I will go and call the others over.”
Lei Xiaoyu was the first to arrive. It seemed that even though she had left, she hadn’t gone far away. The concern in her actions warmed Qin Yu’s heart. He glanced at her, indicating for her not to worry.
Azure Dragon lay slumped on her shoulders, keeping his previous miniature state. From the look of things, there was a high chance he had been scolded.
Seventh senior-apprentice sister was the second to come. She really did have a different face, and even her fragrance was entirely different. What was similar was that her two faces were both beautiful, and her two fragrances were similarly enchanting. After bowing to third senior-apprentice brother, she gave Qin Yu a flower-like smile that was enough to send pleasant shivers through any man. “Little junior-apprentice brother is truly kind. Since I will receive your advantages today, I will really cover for you in the future!”
What was the meaning of this? Did she mean that she was just being perfunctory with him before? Qin Yu was left speechless by this. He cupped his hands together to express his gratitude…however, the deterrent force of seventh senior-apprentice sister didn’t seem to be small at all.
When she said that she would cover for Qin Yu, even third senior-apprentice brother subconsciously glanced at her and then him.
Iron Mountain slapped Earth Stride’s shoulder, slamming him halfway into the ground with a loud bang. He said, “Old Six, you had better discard your thoughts of causing trouble for our little junior-apprentice brother. Otherwise if you annoy seventh junior-apprentice sister, no one will be able to save you.”
Earth Stride clenched his jaws. He thought, was he supposed to thank him for this reminder? If it wasn’t for Iron Mountain being so blatantly obvious about it, who would have known about this? Even if he gave up it wouldn’t have been a loss of face.
But now, it certainly would be! Hohohoho!
Seventh senior-apprentice sister Cai Sang narrowed her gorgeous eyes, her lips curling up in 10,000 flavors of temptation. “I heard that when sixth senior-apprentice brother met little junior-apprentice brother on the first day, you lost to him? This is surprising news! How could the solemn sixth senior-apprentice brother of Peach Blossom Spring be looking for trouble with his little junior-apprentice brother?”
Earth Stride’s face turned green and he vigorously waved his hand. “I’m not, I’m definitely not. This is all because senior-apprentice brother Iron Mountain has the heart of a villain!”
Iron Mountain laughed out loud and didn’t say anything, clearly indicating that he wasn’t going to argue about this.
Peachy’s arrival ended the atmosphere in the courtyard. After a brief surprise, White Phoenix stood up and welcomed her. He smiled and said, “Junior-apprentice sister Peachy, you came too? It seems that our little junior-apprentice brother’s face is quite big.”
Cai Sang and the others restrained themselves and stood up. They respectfully bowed, “We greet fourth senior-apprentice sister.”
They were like mice that saw a cat.
Qin Yu bowed along with everyone else, surprised inside. He had listened to Lei Xiaoyu describe Peachy, but he never imagined she would be such a deterring force.
Looking at the situation, it wasn’t because she was the only daughter of the Spring Master either.
Peachy’s expression was indifferent. She glanced over everyone and said, “Rise.” Then, she nodded at third senior-apprentice brother. Although this was a response, she actually didn’t say a single word to him.
Everyone was accustomed to this, so there was no one who was dissatisfied.
White Phoenix smiled, “This can be considered the most complete gathering of Peach Blossom Spring disciples that we’ve had in recent years. Elder senior-apprentice brother and second senior-apprentice brother have long since perceived the Space Laws, so it doesn’t matter if they come. Then let’s not delay.” As he spoke to here, he nodded at Qin Yu, “Little junior-apprentice brother, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
