2936 Twelve Peaks

Was this place truly so remarkable?

Qiao Mu blinked, her gaze shifting to her husband.

Even the small birds egg seemed to sense the dense spiritual energy here, impatiently yearning to soar out of the paradise and plunge into the waterfall.

Lu Zheng was taken aback and urgently exclaimed, "Second Headmaster! Take heed. That waterfall atop the clouds may appear to be filled with cottony spiritual energy, but it is something entirely different."

"Second Headmaster, the waterfall is actually brimming with sacred energy. We dare not venture into it lightly. Hurry and retrieve your egg; otherwise, we might lose it for real!"

Mo Lian discreetly twitched his mouth.

What was going on? Why did these words make him feel like crashing into Chen Qi?

The young stoic glanced at them impassively. "These two eggs of mine have yet to hatch. If they can hatch within this waterfall, it would be truly remarkable."

Chen Qi and Lu Zheng exchanged bewildered glances.

"Second Headmaster, what type of eggs are these?"

"Sacred beast bird eggs."

The two elderly men had asked somewhat casually, but the response they received nearly left them gaping in astonishment.

"Seriously?"

This young fellow even possessed two sacred beast bird eggs?

As they watched the fist-sized egg merrily bouncing into the waterfall and frolicking about, they couldn't help but marvel at its loveliness.

Could the water from this waterfall genuinely purify their bodies and absorb sacred energy?

Judging by the eager expression on Chen Qi's face, it seemed that the old man was rather tempted to try it out. However, Qiao Mu interjected apathetically, "Let's proceed to Red Clouds Peak first."

Instantly, the two of them deflated, turning back to cast a sidelong glance at Qiao Mu.

The young stoic muttered in a low voice, "Despite your age, you still can't keep your composure. You act like a pair of eggs, hopping around without restraint. It's quite amusing."

Chen Qi and Lu Zheng exchanged glances. Had the young stoic spoken so loudly that they overheard it?

The four of them, accompanied by the young monk, swiftly ascended Red Clouds Peak. When Chen Qi beheld the colorful crystals above his head and the green moss adorning the roof, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yes, Second Headmaster, this is it. This is the location the first headmaster of our Xuanji School chose as our sect's headquarters."

Chen Qi began to weep.

When the old man shed tears, Lu Zheng, too, couldn't help but reminisce about the years he had squandered.

If he could retrieve them all, he would gladly spend the rest of his days accompanying his Junior Sister and contributing to the development of the sect on Red Clouds Peak. It would be far more meaningful than the years he had wasted achieving nothing.

Qiao Mu gently stroked the young monk's head.

The young monk produced two square handkerchiefs from his pocket.

He handed one to Chen Qi and the other to Lu Zheng, speaking earnestly, "Benefactors, please don't cry! You aren't the most wretched individuals in the world. Consider the destitute villagers we encountered earlier. You should understand that possessing healthy limbs is more valuable than anything else."

In this way, the nostalgia Chen Qi and Lu Zheng felt for the sect was interrupted by the young monk.

Qiao Mu found it somewhat amusing. She bent down to pat the young monk's bald head, then turned to Chen Qi and Lu Zheng, saying, "I intend to allocate the six peaks on the left to the Holy Water Sect for their use."

"I'll establish an array formation to demarcate the territories of both sects. This section will belong to the Xuanji School, while the other end will be designated as the Holy Water Sect's territory. What do you think?"

Chen Qi voiced his agreement, signaling his lack of objections. He nodded and spoke with a touch of bitterness, "Our Xuanji School has only three members left. Second Headmaster, you may proceed as you see fit."
