Jun YanZhi waited for a day in front of the exit array before Liu QianMo and the rest finally arrived. Everyone released the weight in their hearts and rejoiced that no mishaps had taken place. When Li Shu, Gu JinPing and the others saw the eerie scene at the mouth of the tunnel they turned pale and almost vomited.

After everyone calmed down, Wen Jing sketched out what had happened over the past few days.

Ninth disciple Bai Xiao, who was ordinarily timid and rarely spoke, was somewhat amazed at this moment: "We found the Profound Wood Spirit stone?"

Jun YanZhi took out the spirit stone. The only difference about it that could be seen was that it was slightly larger than a girl's earring and it gave off a strong spiritual energy. Holding it up to the sun, the spirit stone seemed to shimmer with a faint green color.

The disciples of Hui Shi peak rarely came across nice things and Liu QianMo wasn't the kind of person who put on airs and wasn't at all small-minded. A few younger people glanced over to look and sighed with deep feeling.

Li Shu smiled and said: "That we really found this spirit stone could be considered to be something to take pride in."

Liu QianMo felt a little bitter at heart: "It's a pity that Shifu is in seclusion once again. Even if we win the inheritance law for Hui Shi peak he would have no way of knowing."

Gui XinBi curled his lips and said in a low voice: "Even if he knew what difference would it make? He probably wouldn't place much importance in it."

Peng Shao quickly responded: "Don't talk nonsense."

Everyone fell silent.

Gu JinPing spoke up: "Now that we've found the "Profound Wood", either Jun shixiong or Mo shidi will inherit the 《Restoration Sutra》. Who will it be granted to?"

Liu QianMo glanced at Mo ShaoYan and said softly: "We should discuss this after we return."

Mo ShaoYan wordlessly returned his look then dropped his eyes in silence. He knew that since the "Profound Wood spirit stone" had been found by Jun Yanzhi, the "Restoration Sutra" would most likely be inherited by Jun shixiong. Moreover, the disciple who obtained the inheritance would most likely become the next peak master.Jun shixiong's ability, wisdom, and cultivation were all much better than his own so he certainly held no expectations for himself.

Even if he had little hope from the beginning and knew he wasn't suitable to be the successor, he still entertained a few thoughts and hoped for a moment of glory. Now his fantasy was shattered and although he was happy for Jun shixiong on the surface, at heart he still felt a little bitter.

Li Shu put his arm on Mo ShaoYan's shoulder and sighed as he said: "It's not ours so forcing the issue is useless. Since I've already realized that in this life I'll never be able to build my foundation so I will spend my time raising spirit grass as idle as a wild crane. Isn't that also a kind of life? We will live for a hundred years. In the human world this would be considered a long time."

Mo ShaoYan laughed: "Don't let eldest shixiong hear you're being lazy and not working on your cultivation. Isn't the peak examination next year?"

Li Shu said: "We're here just to make up the numbers. When the time comes, just have fun."

Gui XinBi said with an odd expression: "Eldest shixiong, a disciple of Hong Xiu peak once said that our shifu already passed on his inheritance scroll. Did this really happen?"

Wen Jing raised his head slightly to look at him.

Duan Xuan had already passed on his inheritance scroll? Why hadn't this been mentioned in the novel?
