Chapter 495: A New Peak? (1/2)

Lin Mu paused in his tracks after hearing the words of that disciple. This was the type of information that was very important to his mission and there was no way he could miss it. Thus he went closer which was pretty much right below the small group of disciples.

”Where did you hear this? And why would they do this?” One of the disciples questioned.

”That's the wrong question brother, you should ask how would they do this? Can't you see we only have three peaks?” Another smarter disciple added.

”You gotta believe me, guys. My brother's neighbor's cousin is a servant at one of the elder's residence. He heard the elders discussing about this in a meeting. They said that if Alchemist Bilao managed to successful breakthrough, they will make an entirely new peak for him.” The first disciple answered.

”Another peak? How in the world would they do that? Making something out of nothing, even Nascent Soul realm cultivators can't do that much. I'm not that smart but even I know this much.” The second disciple spoke.

Even Lin Mu wondered about how they would make an entire mountain where there wasn't any to add. If one looked around the area where the Tri Cauldron Peony sect was located, they would only find a forest.

There were no other mountains than the three peaks of the sect in an area of about three hundred kilometers.

”Senior, can they make a mountain just like that?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm… it is possible. One doesn't even need to be a cultivator to make a mountain. Even simple mortals can do so with enough time. Rather, the importance of mountains and peaks in the cultivation sects is usually due to the presence of the Spirit stone mines and spirit Qi springs.

These mountains all have intricate formation arrays that evenly distribute the spirit Qi around the sect. Even the spirit stone mines and spirit Qi springs are located beneath these mountains, or inside them.

So if they are willing to make another mountain, it means that either a spirit Qi spring is about to mature into a spirit stone mine, or a couple more spirit Qi springs will be combined to supply for a mountain.” Xukong explained.

”This… is rather surprising. Will Gu Yao do something about this? I mean won't all this require a lot of resources.” Lin Mu questioned.

”It is quite likely. Or… since this alchemist Bilao will be a new Nascent Soul realm cultivator there is even a chance Gu Yao would want him under his servitude. Even if he isn't able to control him with the Human controlling Blood curse, I think he should still be able to passively give him ordered through the sect.” Xukong answered.

”That's right! As long as Alchemist Bilao successfully becomes a Nascent Soul realm cultivator Gu Yao will get another talented Alchemist at his disposal that can make pills for him. This will just be more beneficial for him.” Lin Mu said.

”Then perhaps… you should prevent this from happening…” Xukong suggested.

”I may be able to do that, but will that be right? Besides, interrupting a heavenly tribulation is deadly isn't it?” Lin Mu asked.
