Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 668: Choose a Mountain to Build a Private Residence (2)


Hmm!

"They are good choices!"

Elder Min-Hou appreciated the reasoning Zheng-Fu used to decide on the mountain to build his private residence. Each of these components contributed to enhancing the effectiveness of martial arts cultivators' cultivation. If Zheng-Fu chose the twin-peak mountain with a large area, in the future, he might use those areas to build a private training facility or various practicing areas for himself. He could also turn the whole mountain into an herb garden because this twin-peak mountain had a very wide area, up to two hundred and forty lis.

If Zheng-Fu chose a mountain with a steep cliff, then he would have the opportunity to practice highland meditation and train strength by climbing up that steep cliff. Or he could even train his mind in using weapons against the strong cliff.

As for the seven-tiered waterfall mountain, Zheng-Fu would benefit from strength training and purifying his body with the strong current from the waterfall. But it would only help for a period; over time, the benefit would lessen until he received nothing but a place to relax.

The mountain with a wide grassy field was suitable for those who preferred a spacious place to live. It could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Most of the people who chose a mountain like this were the ones who thought of building a power base within this sect or creating their own force because not only did the mountain have vast flat areas to build a lot of buildings, but it also had a lot of Heaven Energy throughout the area.

And the fifth mountain that Zheng-Fu considered as a choice was the one that had all these components, whether it be the cliff, waterfall, courtyard, or even cave and lake. Everything existed on this mountain, except that it was smaller than the other mountains, which only had one of each. But overall, it was considered very good. However, this mountain was very far from people; it required a thousand lis of traveling, or the equivalent of five hundred kilometers, to reach the sect in the middle of the territory.

"The five mountains you've chosen have different strengths and weaknesses. However, these five are the ones with the highest Heaven Energy density among all the mountains you can choose. Now it's up to you to decide which mountain will be your residence. Once you've made your choice, you cannot change it unless you get more chances to do so!" Elder Min-Hou explained the Heaven Energy density of each mountain Zheng-Fu was considering, saying that these five mountains had the most Heaven Energy among almost a hundred mountains Zheng-Fu could choose.

"Yes, sir! Now I can decide which mountain to choose. The mountain that I choose is the fifth mountain, which is a thousand lis away from here!" Zheng-Fu finally decided to choose the fifth mountain with all the scenery as his abode. The reason was that it was far away from people and consisted of many different landscapes in the same area.

"I knew you would choose that one!" Elder Min-Hou had also guessed that Zheng-Fu would choose the fifth option. "Because not only does this mountain have diverse terrain, but it's also only three-quarters smaller than the twin-peak mountain. And considering how you caused chaos at the testing courtyard this morning, choosing to live far away from people would be good for you!" The middle-aged man analyzed and guessed the reason why Zheng-Fu chose this mountain, which was almost entirely correct, only missing a few reasons.

"Elder was right. That's why I chose this mountain as my accommodation. Although the distance is farther to reach the sect, in the future, when I have a beast of burden like your white crane, it won't be difficult for me to travel back and forth with ease!" Zheng-Fu nodded and smiled warmly at Elder Min-Hou.

"That's for sure. You'll surely have your own flying vehicle. Once you have enough scores, you can exchange them for various items from the sect. Or you can exchange your items for scores. In addition, you can also use your scores to trade items with other disciples! Rules and details about the scores are available in this book. You can open it and check it out. All right, now that you have chosen your mountain, I'll take you to your mountain."

"Yes, sir!"

Flap!!! Flap!!!

The distance from the point where the two were to the mountain that Zheng-Fu chose was only a thousand lis, just fifteen minutes of travel. However, only the white crane or a flying beast of the same level could make the journey in this amount of time. If it was a beast at a lower level, the duration would be increased.

Ghee!!!!

Fifteen minutes passed...

Stop!!!

"I can only drop you here. That house is your residence. Just drop your blood into this identification badge and stamp it in front of the entrance. Only then will you be able to enter and exit that house. Inside the house, all the necessities are already prepared, whether it's a rule book, a map of our entire sect, or our sect's regular outer disciple robes, which you can wear or not. There are no rules forbidding it. Well! I've got to go. If you still have any doubts, read the rules book, or you can travel back to the main area of the sect and ask me. I'm a master elder of the prime disciple area—you can come and see me at any time!"

The middle-aged man told Zheng-Fu everything he could before he commanded his white crane to fly away without saying another word because it was the Five Pillar Elders' command that had given him.

"Thank you, Elder Min-Hou!" Zheng-Fu thanked the middle-aged man, even though he had already gone away.

"Sigh! Isn't it too cruel to leave me like this? Even the name of this mountain was not mentioned. At first, you said that when I made my choice, you'd tell me. How could he deceive me like that!? Sigh! All right, I'll go and explore the house by myself. But first of all, I've got to drop some blood on this identification badge, right?" Zheng-Fu shook off that nonsense thought before turning his attention to his house and identification badge.

Slash!!!

Drip!!!

Zheng-Fu did not hesitate; he took out his flying knife and slashed his fingertip to let the blood come out and drip onto the identification badge as Elder Min-Hou told him. And the moment the drop of blood hit it, his identification badge suddenly trembled, and a bright white light emerged. Then a white beam of light flashed into midair in front of him before golden letters, which said 'The unidentified mountain; it depends on what one would call it,' appeared. This message conveyed that this mountain had no name yet and that it was up to the person who owned it to give it one.

"Oh! Indeed, every mountain that I choose doesn't have its name?" Zheng-Fu could not help but smile as he read this golden message. He knew at once that, actually, the other mountains did not have a name either. Otherwise, Elder Min-Hou would have already told him the names of each mountain.

"All right, the next step is to tap this badge on the entrance door!"

Once the blood was applied to his identification badge, Zheng-Fu then turned toward the house that had been provided. This house was neither too big nor too small; looking from the outside, there should be an area of about two hundred square meters.

Tap!!!

Wooooooosh!!!!

Flop!!!!

As soon as his identification badge was imprinted against the front entrance, Zheng-Fu could clearly feel the boundaries and things inside this house. It was as if this house had already been connected to him. Zheng-Fu just thought he wanted to open the door, but the entrance door suddenly opened by itself.

"This must be a spell or something," Zheng-Fu speculated that this was due to some spell engraved on the identification badge and this house.

As soon as the entrance door opened, Zheng-Fu found that inside this residence was a small pond, and there was a small pavilion outside the house. There was also a small training courtyard nearby. In addition to these things, the house also had a full range of facilities.

"This is what they call a ready-to-stay house!" Zheng-Fu said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, before he walked into the house to look around to see if anything was lacking.

A day had passed...

After Zheng-Fu participated in the test yesterday, the news that he caused the Heavenly Command Stone to emit a red glow continued to be a broad topic of discussion. Those who did not go to see his test were curious and wanted to see this young man's face. The big clans and big forces all ordered their people to find out what area Zheng-Fu resided in, so they could meet and discuss making an offer for Zheng-Fu to join their clan. But no matter where they sent people to look for him or asked the elders they knew, no one knew where Zheng-Fu resided.

Of course, no one knew about what Zheng-Fu received as his residence. Except for Elder Min-Hou, the Five Pillar Elders, and the sectmaster, the others only knew that Zheng-Fu was taken to the Moon Gazing Tower. Even Jiang-Long, who had brought Zheng-Fu to the sect, did not know.

At Zheng-Fu's unnamed mountaintop house...

Ah!!!

"Being on the top of the mountain, I feel a lot better than in the testing courtyard, even if it can't compare to the peak where Moon Gazing Tower sits! Anyway, that's not a problem for me. In any case, I can turn this mountain into a heaven that's better than that peak in the future. By the way, what should I do today?"

In the late morning, Zheng-Fu woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed because he could continue to absorb Heaven Energy while he slept in this house. This allowed his fifty-fifth Heavenly Core Pillar, which seemed to be forming earlier, to be able to form to its fullest extent. In addition, the dense Heaven Energy aura within this mountain made Zheng-Fu feel serene.

Today, Elder Min-Hou did not show up or take him anywhere. And no one called him to participate in any sect's activities. Zheng-Fu did not know what he had to do next. But as he was thinking about what he should do, his gaze landed on several items lying on the table in the middle of the house's hall. Those several items were one flat round stone, one thick book, two thin books, and finally, a normal red ring.

"These must be things Elder Min-Hou mentioned!"

Just by taking a glance, Zheng-Fu could guess what those items were. He then realized that Elder Min-Hou did not show up because he had already told Zheng-Fu to check and read what he wanted to know for himself, or if he did not understand, he could go to the main area of the sect.
