Chapter 648: Chapter 3 Kaifeng_3

“They may be trying to stir up trouble again to get their people into our territory,” Xia Daoyun nodded slightly, mentioned it casually, and did not delve further into it.

Lu Qingshan, however, took note of this information.

“Then, I will take my leave first to reconnoiter the new peak location,” Lu Qingshan prepared to say goodbye.

Xia Daoyun nodded, “Go on with your business.”

As Lu Qingshan was about to turn around and leave, Xia Daoyun suddenly remembered something and called out to him.

“Oh, and,” she looked at her Chief Disciple with a smile that was not quite a smile, her voice steady, “I just wanted to ask you why there is one less wooden building on Sword Coming Peak….”

…Lu Qingshan instantly felt a mess.

No wonder he had a faint feeling that Xia Daoyun seemed somewhat surprised after he had finished telling her about his meeting with Xia Daojing.

It turned out it wasn’t an illusion, because Xia Daoyun actually didn’t know about it.

Great, he had just implicated himself…

……

There are many peaks in the Sword Sect, scattered like stars, centered around the main peak in a configuration that resembled the stars cradling the moon.

With so many peaks and so few disciples of the Sword Sect, there were many deserted wilderness peaks available.

In the following days, Lu Qingshan practiced Sword Control, taking the Mouse Spirit King to survey unclaimed peaks within the Sword Sect.

Honestly, most Sword Cultivators of the Sword Sect seemed quite casual about selecting their new peak, unlike Lu Qingshan, who took the selection so seriously–it was rare.

And the reason why Lu Qingshan was such a stickler was not that he had any particular intent; it was purely a habitual way of thinking–in his original world, buying a house was one of the most important and concerned matters for people.

Apart from the rare big shots who are “from ordinary families,” “earn money casually,” or “own nothing,” who doesn’t check out several houses and compare them to pick the best one?

This mindset had been ingrained in him so deeply that now, it simply translated from house-hunting to peak-hunting.

The Sword Sect was a blessed place, abundant with Spiritual Energy, and relatively speaking, the peaks here were unusually serene and beautiful, matching Lu Qingshan’s aesthetics perfectly.

Every single peak, if placed in his previous life, seemed as if it could become a tourist attraction, right?

So after looking at all the peaks, Lu Qingshan found himself somewhat undecided.

If he could not discern the best based on scenery, he had to resort to geomancy.

Choose a peak with good feng shui.

Lu Qingshan made up his mind.

“Which peak do you like?” Lu Qingshan took out the Mouse Spirit King.

“Why should I be the one to choose?” The Mouse Spirit King was taken aback and a little confused.

“After the new peak is selected, it will also be your cultivation site; naturally, I have to consider your opinion,” Lu Qingshan stated righteously.

Actually, it was because he didn’t understand the so-called geomancy at all–it was the realm of Spiritual Cultivators.

In such a situation, he could only fall back on his next best option, letting the Mouse Spirit King choose the location of the peak–given the little demon mouse’s consistently good luck, the feng shui of any peak it chose was unlikely to be bad.

Unaware that he had become the instrument of a mouse-shaped geomancy compass, the Mouse Spirit King was quite moved by Lu Qingshan’s respect, shaking its little head seriously in thought.

After a long time, the little demon mouse ventured, “Why not the first peak we saw?”

Lu Qingshan’s heart stirred, and he rose on his sword.

An hour later, Lu Qingshan arrived at the peak mentioned by the Mouse Spirit King.

It was a peak with extremely beautiful scenery, full of green trees; the luxuriant greenery stretched on without end, and a strong wind could whip up a huge wave of green.

After carefully inspecting the surroundings, Lu Qingshan immediately understood why the Mouse Spirit King favored this peak.

–There was no water flow present within this mountain.

And little demon mice have always been very afraid of water.

Lu Qingshan was somewhat speechless, but he still settled on the location and quickly went to the Foreign Affairs Peak to complete the procedures and make the registration.

Next would be the ceremony to establish the peak.
