Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 229 Plan

"This is the first time I've seen Master be so generous to the outer peak disciples." Lin Ruyi looked at the sword-grinding stone in Shen Yun's hand and couldn't help but sigh. Her eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief, as if she was very surprised by Lin Biyun's behavior.

A second-level sword-grinding stone is definitely a treasure no matter where it is placed. If it were to be sold on the black market, such a large sword-grinding stone would be worth at least 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones. This is not a small amount, enough to make countless people crazy and covetous. But for Lin Biyun, it is just a simple gift, worthy of being a Jindan master.

Shen Yun carefully put away the sword-grinding stone in his hand, with a faint smile on his face. Then he smiled dotingly and touched Lin Ruyi's head, saying softly, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? The reason why Master Lin gave you this sword-grinding stone is to give you hush money."

"Oh?" Lin Ruyi looked at Shen Yun with a puzzled look on her face. Her beautiful big eyes were full of confusion, and she seemed not to understand the deep meaning of Shen Yun's words.

"Think about it, I am the only disciple of my master. I encountered such difficulties when I first came to your Biyun Peak. Isn't this obviously a lack of face for my master? If my master gets angry, I am afraid that only the dean Gu Fanxiao in the entire Royal Academy can stop him." Shen Yun explained patiently.

"Oh, I see." Lin Ruyi nodded in sudden realization. The confusion on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of understanding.

Lin Biyun, who had returned to her residence at this time, sat leisurely on an exquisite armchair, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she couldn't help but praise her own wit in her heart.

Who is Huo Jingtian?

He was a person that even the dean had to be careful to deal with. In the entire Royal Academy, only the dean could fight him on equal terms. Others couldn't even resist a single move from him. Although it was embarrassing to say it, this was the cruel truth. In the academy, Huo Jingtian's reputation spread far and wide, and he was an awe-inspiring presence.

Even though they are all elders of the Royal Academy, there is a huge gap between elders. Huo Jingtian, the great elder, dared to directly overturn the table with the dean. That kind of courage and strength is not something that ordinary people can have. Try another elder. Gu Fanxiao will teach you how to behave in a minute. Do you really think that the old dean has a good temper? That depends on the person.

Thinking that she had settled the matter with only a second-level sword-grinding stone, Lin Biyun felt a surge of joy in her heart. This was really a good deal. If she chose to ignore the matter and Huo Jingtian came to her door in person afterwards, the consequences would be disastrous. It would not be a matter of just a sword-grinding stone, and she might have to pay a greater price.

Thinking of this, Lin Biyun did not hide the smile on her face at all; her smile was full of pride and satisfaction.

On the other hand, with the incident of Li Wuchang's time bead as a precedent, the two of them never received any troubles while going up and down Biyun Peak. Even Li Wuchang, the chief disciple, was defeated, not to mention the others, which also discouraged those who had ill intentions or wanted to cause trouble.

Lin Ruyi was in a particularly good mood, and she enthusiastically took Shen Yun to visit the entire Biyun Peak thoroughly. Along the way, Lin Ruyi was like a cheerful little bird, chirping and introducing the scenery everywhere to Shen Yun.

It must be said that a mountain that can be occupied by a Jindan master does have its own unique features. For example, under the Biyun Peak, there is a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein lurking, which continuously releases rich spiritual energy and nourishes this land. The entire Biyun Peak is surrounded by dozens of small peaks of different heights. Those small peaks are like loyal guards guarding the Biyun Peak, with a unique posture of many stars surrounding the moon.

As they strolled on the peak, the beautiful scenery was beyond words. The lush trees, beautiful flowers, and strange rocks together formed a picturesque scene. Various first-level and even second-level spiritual flowers and fruits could be seen everywhere on the peak. They grew wantonly, seemingly not caring about their precious status, and were completely treated as ordinary decorations dotted between the mountains and forests.

As the breeze blew, the spiritual flowers and fruits swayed gently, as if showing them their beauty and uniqueness. Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi wandered in this picturesque scenery, enjoying the rare tranquility and beauty, and they also had a little more love and admiration for Biyun Peak.

The two of them strolled leisurely like this, and before they knew it, they came to the courtyard where Lin Ruyi lived. The courtyard was located in a quiet place, surrounded by green trees and dotted with flowers, which was very elegant.

As a direct disciple of a Jindan master, Lin Ruyi was naturally qualified to have her own exquisite courtyard. The vermilion courtyard door was half-closed, revealing a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere. They slowly stepped into the courtyard and saw that it was very delicately decorated. A cobblestone path meandered forward and led to the center of the courtyard.

In the yard, there was a small rockery, beside which there was a spring gurgling, making a clear and pleasant sound. Not far away, there were several strange spiritual plants, emitting a faint halo. The two sat side by side on the stone pier in the yard, which was polished smooth and round, with a kind of ancient charm. On the stone table was a set of exquisite tea sets, emitting curling hot steam, which was the spiritual tea that had just been brewed.

As they chatted casually, they picked up their teacups and took a sip of the tea. The fragrance of the tea spread in their mouths, making them feel relaxed and happy. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on them. They all had relaxed and happy smiles on their faces, enjoying this moment of tranquility and comfort, as if they had forgotten all their worries and troubles, and immersed themselves in this beautiful time that belonged to them alone.

"Shen Yun, it has been half a month since you entered the Imperial Academy." Lin Ruyi looked at Shen Yun with a hint of curiosity and concern in her eyes, and asked softly, "What are your plans next?"

Her voice rang out in this quiet courtyard, as if breaking some kind of quiet atmosphere. Shen Yun was slightly startled when he heard Lin Ruyi's words, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face. His eyes became a little erratic, and his thoughts began to turn rapidly.

But this question really stumped Shen Yun. He thought to himself. According to the original plan, he should still be practicing on Huo Jingtian's island, honing the spiritual power in his body, making his foundation more solid and stable. After honing the spiritual power in his body, he will take the spiritual essence given by Huo Jingtian and break through the current realm. Then he will wait for his father Shen Batian to enter Liuyun City and give him the skills given by his master.

However, now that he was in the Royal Academy, the surrounding environment and personnel had changed, and he had to re-examine his plan. As for the future arrangements, Shen Yun had not yet considered them. He felt a mess in his mind, with various ideas and possibilities intertwined, making him a little overwhelmed for a while. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, trying to sort out a clear path in these complicated thoughts.
