2941 Reopening the Gate
More than half of the spiritual energy drawn in by the mystic-guiding talisman matrix from a radius of hundreds of kilometers had been ensnared within the outer defensive formation encircling the thirteen peaks of Red Clouds Peak.
The remainder of the spiritual energy, unable to be absorbed by the thirteen peaks any longer, was on the verge of slowly dissipating.
However, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao adhered to the principle of frugality and household management. She summoned the sapling Qiuqiu back and allowed it to absorb the remaining spiritual energy to replenish the paradise's reserves.
Yang Xirong excitedly roamed around the mountain peak. She took hold of Qiao Mu's small hand and nodded enthusiastically as she remarked, "Qiaoqiao, your choice of location is truly remarkable. It appears that the spiritual aura here is accumulating and enveloping this place. It must be a natural spiritual domain."
Qiao Mu pursed her lips slightly. In truth, this spiritual domain might not have contained such an abundance of spiritual energy in the past. The primary reason for the current richness was the influence of the two mystic-guiding talisman matrices and the defensive array surrounding the area, which effectively trapped and preserved the spiritual energy.
An unending stream of spiritual energy had been drawn in by the mystic-guiding talisman matrix, with minimal dissipation. Consequently, the density of spiritual energy on this entire mountain peak had reached its zenith.
Qiao Mu released Jiang Qi, Yu Gui, and the other Senior Sisters from the paradise.
Chen Qi, who had been calmly sipping his drink on the side, suddenly choked and spat out a mouthful of wine.
He had never realized that his Second Headmaster had so many individuals by her side.
Could it be that all these people had been stored in her Storage Talisman?
On Paradise Planet, Yang Xirong had already become acquainted with the two Seniors, Chen Qi and Lu Zheng. She approached them and greeted them with a polite gesture. "Greetings, Seniors. I am Yang Xirong from the Holy Water Sect."
Since Yang Xirong had addressed her as Aunt-Master, and considering the friendly atmosphere, Chen Qi and Lu Zheng responded with warm smiles and returned the greeting.
Chen Qi's eyes still held a glint of curiosity. "Did the Second Headmaster keep all of you in the Storage Talisman? Weren't you bored being in there all day?"
Yang Xirong considered for a moment and replied, "Well, let Qiaoqiao explain it to you personally."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qi and Lu Zheng tactfully ceased their inquiries.
Qiao Mu approached them and gestured to the Senior Sisters who were eagerly planning how to develop the mountain peaks. She said to Yang Xirong, "Second Aunt-Master, the Holy Water Sect shouldn't be without a Third Peak. Let's establish one, shall we? But if the Senior Sisters wish to learn and interact together, they can also gather on the other mountain peak."
Yang Xirong readily agreed. "The fourth peak over there will be named the Learning Peak. If everyone wants to cultivate together, we can head there."
Qiao Mu nodded. "Let's designate the fifth peak as Sky Peak. It's time for our Maple Pavilion to return."
Yang Xirong had already visited the Maple Pavilion on Paradise Planet. Hearing this, she looked at the child with a touch of emotion.
The Maple Pavilion had seven floors and contained numerous treasures. Despite being in the pavilion for so long, Qiaoqiao had refrained from touching anything. The child's purity was truly remarkable.
Qiao Mu had her own principles when it came to handling matters. She wouldn't lay claim to what didn't belong to her, nor would she tolerate anyone stealing what was rightfully hers. Items within the sect were part of the Holy Water Sect's heritage and thus belonged to everyone.
Now that the Holy Water Sect had reopened its gates to accept disciples, the Maple Pavilion naturally had to be returned to its rightful owner.
Yang Xirong pushed back the bamboo bracelet on her wrist and mentioned, "The key is still with you."
