Chapter 300 The Key to Opening the Door
The expression of the young man in brocade clothes was not as good as his. Instead, it looked a bit more severe. His eyes, like a deep pool, were tinged with tiny bits of ice that could not be ignored.
A sneer followed by a strong warning.
Someone once said that tea has nine difficulties: one is making it, two is identifying it, three is using the teapot, four is fire, five is water, six is roasting it, seven is grinding it, eight is boiling it, and nine is drinking it. These are the eight sufferings of ordinary people: birth, old age, sickness, death, not getting what one desires, meeting with those one hates, separation from those one loves, and the prevalence of the five elements.
"Young Pavilion Master can decipher the mysteries of heaven and determine destiny, but I wonder if he can know his own fate?"
Shi Yunyu drank the tea upside down and glanced at the tea table without any concern.
The tea is clear and the waves are gentle.
"My Lord, do you still need to ask me about my fate?
"Besides, my lord—is he a human being?"
The young man in brocade clothes suddenly looked cold, and with a wave of his long sleeves, everything on the stone table shattered to the ground with a "ding-ling-clang" sound.
He suddenly stood up with his hands behind his back, his eyes frighteningly cold: "You know quite a lot!
"Young Pavilion Master, you deliberately led us somewhere else and let her return to the Qiankun Sect. Do you really think I can't see it?"
Shi Yunyu didn't even wipe the tea stains from the corner of his clothes. The long wind blew the white bands around his eyes, and the pale skin that was faintly visible was like the most flawless white jade, without temperature or traces of the passage of time.
"It's hard to predict the secrets of heaven. I've already said it, it's just a guess."
"Guess?" The brocade-robed youth snorted coldly, a longsword coldly across his neck. Bright red blood flowed down, eye-catching and seductive. "I'm afraid I must remind the Young Pavilion Master that my patience is limited. The Tianji Pavilion is not short of fortune-tellers. If you insist on playing a trick on me, I can only see if those old men in the Tianji Pavilion can predict my own tragic death before I can."
Shi Yunyu's expression finally changed.
Although his eyes were unable to see anything, he could accurately capture the direction of the boy.
"The condition for me helping you is that you can't attack the Tianji Pavilion. If you want to break the contract first, you can kill me now! But I have to remind you that the Tianji Pavilion has a traitor like me, and there won't be another one!
"Without my help, you'll never find the place you want to find!"
The two of them stared at each other coldly, neither giving in. The silent confrontation was like a landslide or tsunami, but no one was nervous.
Everyone has each other's weaknesses, it just depends on who is willing to take the risk and who doesn't have the chance to take the risk.
Finally, the young man in brocade clothes put away his awe-inspiring aura and closed his eyes.
"I don't want to kill anyone." The boy turned around, his voice silent. "Don't force me to do something I don't want to do."
Shi Yunyu was not afraid at all and smiled sarcastically.
"People who have committed many evil deeds never feel that they have done evil. What is there to pretend?"
The young man in brocade clothes didn't want to argue with others about winning or losing, nor did he care about good or evil, right or wrong. He had things he had to do, which was why he had tolerated Shi Yunyu until now.
He lowered his voice and said, "We can put the matter of finding her aside for now. Since she has returned to Qiankun Sect, we have to wait for her to come out again. Now, I need you to help me find another thing."
Shi Yunyu tightened her hands in her sleeves and turned to look at the rippling green pond with pink lotus leaves swaying in the water. She said calmly, "Sir, please speak."
"key."
"What key?"
"The key to the door."
Shi Yunyu tapped the table with his fingers, resting his hand lazily on his forehead. "My Lord, you are truly interesting. The avenue is three thousand feet long, and the gates are like thousands of houses. Which gate does my Lord want the key to?"
The young man tilted his head and looked into his blind eyes: "You know."
"I know? How should I know? You think too highly of me..."
"You know, Young Master."
Shi Yunyu clenched his fists and said nothing.
The young man in brocade clothes obviously had other important things to do. He was about to leave after completing the purpose of his visit. After taking three or four steps, he heard Shi Yunyu's voice behind him.
"I need the Nine Sacred Stones."
The boy nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
"The Nine Sacred Stones are not easy to obtain," he reminded.
"So what?" He didn't care.
Shi Yunyu remained silent.

The news that Jiang Liqian returned to Zhenfeng spread like wildfire.
When she came back, she looked anxious, which attracted attention. In addition, the sect competition was about to start, and she was the first in the Qimingzhai test. Even though she had been lazy for nine years, there were still many people paying attention to her, and many people secretly regarded her as a strong opponent.
In this internal competition, the winner will be able to enter the secret scroll of mountains and seas left by the founder.
This secret scroll is one of the sect's most powerful treasures and is the foundation of the largest sect. Every time someone enters, most people's cultivation can leap forward significantly, saving hundreds or even thousands of years. There are countless rare treasures in it, even the Nine Sacred Stones, of which there are only three in the world.
It, along with the Shennong Domain of the Jishen Sect and the Taikun Wheel of the Taikun Sect, are known as the three great secret realms of the cultivation world. They are all left over from ancient times and are the basis for the three major sects to stand tall in the cultivation world for thousands of years.
However, the Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas is different from the other two secret realms in that it is not only a secret realm containing countless opportunities, but also a rare immortal weapon that can be used for defense and attack. It is regarded as a mountain protection barrier by the Qiankun Sect and has always been managed by the sect leader. It is one of the symbols of the identity of the sect leader.
Therefore, even though it was just an internal competition, the competition was always fierce. People were threatening each other before the competition even started, and there were even countless fights.
At this time, the Qiankun Sect was not a whole, but each peak and even each individual was independent, which could not only win more sect resources for their own peak, but also gain the qualification to enter the Shanhai Secret Scroll for themselves.
Outer disciples even have the opportunity to enter the inner gate of each main peak and become inner disciples.
Not only that, each contestant can receive generous prizes based on their ranking, and even the last one can get a few bottles of good pills.
However, after all, everyone is a brother or a sister who sees each other every day, so most people are still relatively restrained. At most, they sneak to other peaks to find out the other party's strength, habitual attack mode, and most powerful tricks.
During this period, the "Detailed Analysis of the Cultivation and Combat of the Main Forces of Each Peak" compiled by an unknown disciple was the best-selling book, making a lot of money every time.
I heard that it is a system passed down from generation to generation.
There were disciples who were defeated because of this and spent a lot of effort to find the writer behind the scenes who compiled the "Detailed Analysis Book of the Main Force Cultivation and Combat of Each Peak", but they just couldn't find him.
The reward for the writer of this "Analysis Book" has been hung in the square of Qiankun Sect, and the reward has increased every year. After each internal competition, the reward has increased tenfold or even a hundredfold. However, no one can earn this "spiritual stone".
