The Dragon-Slaying Evil-Purging Sword was the highest inheritance of Dragon-Slaying Peak.
It couldn't be found even in the Library Pavilion. The only way to obtain it was from the Grand Elder or the peak master.
The peak master had been in seclusion for many years, so only the Grand Elder could pass it on.
Su Wenjin had previously taught Yu Xiu the Dragon-Slaying Evil-Purging Sword in the Inner Court, with the Grand Elder's approval.
After passing on the technique, the Grand Elder said, "Someone from Nine Heavens Peak will come in a few days.
"First, because you brought Guan Che back alive, so there's still a chance to save him.
"Second, I suspect people from the Sword-in-Chest branch have taken an interest in you. Just handle them when they come."

He didn't think much of it.
He took his leave of the Grand Elder, then made another trip to the Library Pavilion at Dragon-Slaying Peak, where he was allowed to choose two sword arts for free.
One was the Diancang Sword, for the Five Viscera Realm; the other was the Shadow-Sweeping Sword, for the Five Elements Realm.
He also spent a thousand contribution points on the Cloud-Vaulting Technique, a Wind Control art.
In fact, once a cultivator reached the second of the Four Great Passes, the Five Elements Realm, they could fly through the air. Ordinary lightness skills and movement techniques were no longer of much use at that level; they needed to cultivate Wind Control arts instead.
