    ### Chapter 96: The Sword Cultivation Hut

    The poison in Liu Suifeng's body was entirely different from that of the Real Person Cangming hidden beneath Pinjian Tower.

    Real Person Cangming had re-cultivated the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, and the internal energy within him was actually dissipated by himself, which is why it happened so quickly.

    On the other hand, when it came to Liu Suifeng, Su Mo seized every opportunity to expel the poison, taking two full days to complete the task.

    This time, apart from expelling the remaining toxins in his body, he also had to treat his internal injuries, making it even more troublesome.

    After nearly two hours, Su Mo finally withdrew his effort, his inner breath sinking into his dantian as he opened his eyes.

    He saw everyone watching him intently, not looking at Liu Suifeng but focusing on him instead.

    Su Mo was taken aback, his expression changing slightly: "Did something go wrong?"

    "…No, no!"

    Doctor Xu Xian spoke first, then asked Su Mo, "Chief Su, may I take a look at your wrist?"

    Su Mo was slightly puzzled but figured this person wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded with so many people around, especially with Yang Xiaoyun nearby. He extended his wrist without hesitation.

    Xu Xian pressed two fingers onto Su Mo's wrist. As his internal energy gently pulsed, he felt a powerful force surge up, immediately pushing his fingers away.

    Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Doctor Xu… what does this mean?"

    "Nothing, nothing."

    Xu Xian explained, "Chief Su's internal energy is profound and his spirit is full. After two hours, there has been no depletion whatsoever. Any consumed internal energy will likely be replenished after a brief meditation."

    Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    Su Mo looked around, feeling both amused and exasperated: "You… you should be worried about Lord Liu, shouldn't you? Why are you concerned about me?"

    "Still talking?"

    Yang Xiaoyun pulled him up: "Lord Liu's complexion is getting better, showing significant progress in healing. But you've been focused for over two hours, and everyone is worried you might exhaust yourself. That's why Doctor Xu checked you, just in case you needed some tonics."

    "…"

    Su Mo felt something was off about these words. He was young and unparalleled in martial arts; why would he need any unnecessary tonics?

    Xu Xian then checked Liu Suifeng's pulse again. After a moment, he nodded: "Though not fully recovered, the rest is just a matter of recuperation through medicine. Everyone, don't just stand there; clean up a room here in Profound Theory Valley for Lord Liu to rest for a couple of days."

    Someone immediately responded and went out to arrange the room.

    Others carried Liu Suifeng away.

    The remaining tasks involved dealing with the aftermath in Profound Theory Valley.

    How to handle those imprisoned in the deep valley, whether there were any hidden secrets in Profound Theory Valley, and how Youquan Cult communicated with Real Person Cangming…

    There were numerous details to address.

    Su Mo wanted to leave, but the others wouldn't let him. They all hoped he could oversee the situation.

    Additionally, they needed Su Mo to explain the details of what happened in Profound Theory Valley, as being left in the dark was uncomfortable.

    Earlier, Su Mo had spoken cryptically with Real Person Cangming in the Profound Theory Hut, and now everyone wanted clarity.

    By evening, most matters were settled.

    The heroes then gathered food and drink in Profound Theory Valley, setting up a grand feast in front of the Profound Theory Hut.

    It was quite lively.

    During the feast, Cheng Feiyu and Lou Jingjing came together to thank Su Mo for saving their lives.

    They expressed hope that Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun would visit Falling Star Gate if they had free time...

    Many others lined up to express their gratitude.

    The night passed quickly amidst the festivities.

    Although Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun hadn't drunk any alcohol, they were tired and returned to their residence. Upon entering, they saw Wei Ziyi.

    ...

    Inside the room, Yang Xiaoyun poured three cups of tea, and Wei Ziyi smiled as she held one:

    "Chief Su's victory has made him famous throughout the southwest. Ziyang Escort Agency will surely thrive from now on.

    "I offer tea in place of wine to congratulate you in advance."

    "May Wei Miss's words come true."

    Su Mo smiled: "I haven't thanked Wei Miss for her assistance yet. Without it, this mission would have been difficult."

    Only after everything was settled did Su Mo learn that the group of heroes who attacked from Jade Willow Villa included the likes of Rou Toumo and Shixin Daoist, notorious figures in the martial world.

    Together with a group of disciples from Youquan Cult, their strength was formidable.

    Thinking back, if Real Person Cangming hadn't rushed back to Profound Theory Valley to claim credit and restore the Blood Transformation Divine Skill...

    I'm afraid that inside job wasn't easy to handle.

    Today, Su Mo forced Zangming Zhenren to reveal his true identity at Yang Xiaoyun's insistence, which was also a way to verify the arrangements outside Profound Theory Valley.

    If Zangming Zhenren’s true self is here, then the outcome outside the valley can be determined.

    And Rou Toumo, Shixindao Ren, and others, due to their lack of understanding, ultimately fell into the ambush set by Wei Ziyi and her companions.

    They died without any resistance.

    Of course, while it sounds simple, there were many twists and turns along the way.

    How Wei Ziyi gained the trust of Qin Longshou He Tong and others was the first major challenge.

    In this regard, Wei Ziyi used Su Mo’s handwritten letter to let He Tong compare the handwriting.

    She then revealed her identity, leaving He Tong no choice but to believe her.

    The result was naturally satisfactory for everyone.

    "What I did was insignificant. The changes within Profound Theory Valley are fraught with danger. Su Mo, as the head of the escort agency, navigates these treacherous waters with ease, truly admirable."

    Wei Ziyi glanced at Su Mo: "However, the reason I came here today isn't about that."

    "Oh?"

    Su Mo had a thought and took something from his waist, placing it on the table: "This?"

    It was a small sword, about the size of a palm, with the words 'Fen Jian' engraved on the blade.

    Seeing it, Wei Ziyi felt a hint of longing and sighed: "I really wanted to take this away when you weren't looking and never give it back."

    "Something that can make Miss Wei Ziyi covet it must indeed be extraordinary."

    Yang Xiaoyun looked at the small sword, curious: "But I find it quite unfamiliar."

    "While Iron Blood Escort Agency is formidable, its influence is limited to the southwest. Cold Moon Palace, however, has already ventured beyond Donghuang, thus learning some things rarely heard in Donghuang."

    Wei Ziyi held the small sword and spoke softly: "Mo Cang Mountain, Fen Jian Cliff, Yang Jian Lu... These are the origins of the person who lent the sword."

    Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, both completely unfamiliar with these terms, having never heard of them before.

    "It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of Yang Jian Lu."

    Wei Ziyi smiled: "But there is one thing you should know.

    "According to ancient legends, five of the top ten swords in the world were crafted at Yang Jian Lu!"
