I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 253: Xu Yan: Miss Du is a Grateful Person _2

This is the power of the true martial arts.

“The Great Grandmasters are also very strong. The Living Death Skull was the strongest among the Great Grandmasters I killed. To kill him, I had to draw my sword several times!”

Xu Yan said with a face full of admiration.

Xie Lingfeng:….

A few strikes and he killed a Great Grandmaster with a formidable reputation. Is that considered ‘strong’?

“I’m going to take over Canglan Island, it will be my territory thereafter. After taking over Canglan Island, I will buy some spiritual medicine, then return to the North Wilderness.

“Brother Xie, are you planning to stay at the Seven-star Study Palace to study martial arts scriptures?”

Xu Yan laid out his future plans.

“I have cultivated some True Qi, but I’m still unsure about how to proceed with my cultivation. I want to ask a senior for guidance, so it would be better to accompany Brother Xu.”

Xie Lingfeng thought for a moment and said.

The purpose of his visit to the Sword Grandmaster Cliff was to find Xu Yan for cultivation matters.

Since Xu Yan was returning to the border wilderness, he might as well accompany him and directly ask his seniors for advice.

“That would be great!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“By the way, Brother Xu, this is a generous gift from Miss Du.”

Xie Lingfeng asked Hu Shan to bring out a large box.

This was a generous gift that Du Yuying had sent to the Sword Grandmaster Cliff for him. He had it brought from the cliff to give to Xu Yan.

“Brother Xie, I borrowed your name to get this generous gift from Miss Du, you should accept it.”

Xu Yan shook his head and said.

“Since Miss Du sent it to you, it’s inappropriate for me to keep it. Moreover, I used the name Xie Lingfeng to raise my reputation. Brother Xu, there’s no need to be formal. You should accept this gift, as it is a token of Miss Du’s feelings.”

Laughing, Xie Lingfeng opened the box.

Inside were some spiritual medicine, a treasure sword, and some precious gems they were all quite valuable, rightfully deemed a generous gift.

“These two boxes are a local specialty from Prince Du’s residence, the Yunwu Spiritual Tea. It is said to be rare. The tea is very fragrant, and the leaves look like clouds. When steeped in a teapot, it seems as if you are brewing a pot of fog.”

Xie Lingfeng picked up a jade jar from the box and explained.

The box contained three jade jars, all filled with Yunwu Spiritual Tea.

“Yunwii Spiritual Tea, though considered of the lower ninth grade of spiritual medicine, is quite famous. It gets its name from the fog-like appearance, and its delicate and refreshing aroma is highly appreciated by some Great Grandmaster martial artists.”

Xie Lingfeng put the tea jar back in the box.

Xu Yan’s eyes sparkled as he said, “Okay, I’ll accept it!”

My master would like Yunwii Spiritual Tea, right?

In the border wilderness, my master only drinks coarse tea. While my master’s realm is very advanced, he lives a humble and natural life, not caring about the type of tea he drinks. But as his disciple, I can’t let my master drink coarse tea all the time, can I?

Since I got this spiritual tea, I must bring it back and present it to my master!

“Hu Shan, strap the box on your back. Let’s go.”

Xie Lingfeng said cheerfully.

“No problem, young master.”

Hu Shan picked up the box, tied it with a rope, and carried it on his back.

Xu Yan asked curiously, “Brother Xie, don’t you have a storage bag?”

Xie Lingfeng chuckled bitterly, “Brother Xu, you may not know, but storage bags are very expensive. It’s not as simple as just paying in spirit crystals. Although I hold a decent position on Sword Grandmaster Cliff, I still can’t afford a storage bag!”

There was another reason he didn’t mention.

If a Grandmaster martial artist carried a storage bag, it could easily be stolen!

Even though he was regarded as a genius on Sword Grandmaster Cliff, and his father was Xie Tianheng, he could not avoid being the target of theft, though he may not be killed for it.

Many Great Grandmasters could not afford a storage bag, so naturally, they coveted others’. If a Grandmaster martial artist was found to have a storage bag, it would be strange if they were not robbed!

After all, not everyone has Xu Yan’s strength.

Xu Yan was astonished. The storage bag was even more precious than he thought. Even someone like Xie Lingfeng, with his status, couldn’t afford one.

As they strolled out, Xu Yan inquired, “So, who would have a storage bag?”

He had killed many Grandmaster martial artists and a few Great Grandmasters.

For example, the Living Death Skull was a Great Grandmaster with a notorious reputation, but he didn’t possess a storage bag.

“Typically, only peak Great Grandmasters possess them, but not all of them.”

Xie Lingfeng pondered for a moment and then replied.

“Peak Great Grandmaster, huh.”

Xu Yan sighed.

That won’t be easy to kill!

With his current strength, killing a perfected Great Grandmaster is not difficult.

But killing a peak Great Grandmaster is a little tricky. After all, the strength of a peak Great Grandmaster truly represents the peak, far unmatched by the ones below the rank of perfected Great Grandmaster.

In the entire Inner Domain, there were not many peak Great Grandmasters, thus any faction with a peak Great Grandmaster at its helm could be considered a top power.

Just as he was leaving the guest house, he saw Du Yuying and Cui’er coming up to him with a fast-paced run.

“Young Master Xu.”

Without her veil, Du Yuying’s exquisite beauty was on full display. Her creamy-white cheeks flashed faintly with a hint of blush, which made her look more attractive and captivating.

Yet, Xu Yan’s heart remained undisturbed!

“Miss Du!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Young Master Xu, are you heading to Canglan Island?”

Du Yuying asked softly.

“Yes!”

Xu Yan didn’t try to hide it and suddenly remembered something. He added: “Thank you for the generous gift, Miss Du.”

Seeing the box that Hu Shan was carrying, Du Yuying’s eyes sparkled with joy and excitement, which she couldn’t conceal. She said, “I’m glad you like it, Young Master Xu!”

She then turned and beckoned, “Cui’er!”

Cui’er took out a pouch and handed it to her, “Here, miss!”

Du Yuying took the pouch, and grabbed Xu Yan’s hand. She put the pouch in his hand and said, “Young Master Xu, these are twenty thousand spirit crystals. It’s not much, but it’s my way of showing my gratitude towards you.”

As she said that, her soft hand gently caressed Xu Yan’s hand and her cheeks turned even redder.

“I can’t accept a reward for doing nothing, Miss Du should take it back.”

Xu Yan shook his head.

Even though he was in need of spirit crystals, he was a man of principles.

“Young Master Xu, you killed the Skeleton beast, this is a part of the bounty, it has been after us in the Prince Du residence for a while now, and Young Master Xu killing it, has relieved us of a major problem.”

“These few spirit crystals are not nearly enough to repay your kindness, it’s just all I had at the moment. Please accept this small token of gratitude, I hope Young Master Xu won’t refuse!”

Du Yuying had all her arguments lined up.

She held Xu Yan’s hand and folded his fingers, softly saying,

“If that’s the case, then I’ll accept it!”

So, it was a reward for killing the Skeleton beast. Xu Yan, pleased with himself, withdrew his hand and kept the spirit crystals.

Miss Du was a good person who knew to repay kindness, maybe she was too excited and unknowingly held on to my hand.”

Xu Yan cupped his hands and said, “Miss Du, till we meet again!”

It was time to say goodbye.

“Young Master Xu, I owe you a great debt of gratitude; someday I would like to repay you with a storage pouch, where should I look for you?”

Du Yuying hastily asked.

“A storage pouch?”

Xu Yan’s eyes sparkled with delight, “Miss Du, you are too kind. A storage pouch is quite valuable…”

“No matter how precious the storage pouch, it can never match the kindness of Master Xu.”

Du Yuying earnestly responded.

“In that case, you might find me at Canglan Island, or you can deliver it to Brother Xie, he will pass it to me.”

Xu Yan felt that Du Yuying was a good person, really grateful and returned the favour, he replied immediately.

“I will remember!”

Du Yuying nodded.

“Brother Xie, let’s go!”

Xu Yan stepped away, his figure swiftly moving.

Xie Lingfeng looked at Du Yuying with a strange expression, shook his head without saying anything, and quickly followed Xu Yan’s pace.

“Miss Du, she really knows how to repay kindness; I didn’t protect her for nothing back then,” Xu Yan said thoughtfully.

A wry smile formed on Hu Shan’s lips. Is this a repayment of kindness?

She is smitten with you!

“Miss Du has a great aptitude, but she seems to have some physique problems. I don’t know why, but she’s already in the first grade, not far from becoming a Grandmaster.”

Xu Yan continued to praise her, his affection for Du Yuying growing.

Of course, it was simply pure appreciation.

Xie Lingfeng nodded, “Miss Du is a student of a Seven-star Study Palace Academic Supervisor. Her talent is indeed extraordinary, it might have something to do with her peculiar physique”

Du Yuying being a student of the Seven-star Study Palace Academic Supervisor indicated her exceptional talent.

Just as the three of them stepped out of Seven-Star City, eager to head for Canglan Island, a beautiful silhouette floated towards them. She was dressed in white like snow, even without seeing her face, she exuded an exceptional allure.

It was the woman in white from Unrivaled Pavilion!
