Chapter 172: Chu Manor!

Chapter 172 Chu Manor!

Fake Spirit Stones only had the appearance of a Spirit Stone.

Real Spirit Stones contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy that could speed up one’s training immensely upon absorption.

Fake Spirit Stones, on the other hand, had very little spiritual energy. They were semi-finished Spirit Stones and needed a very long time before they could develop into real Spirit Stones. Chu Xun could not afford to wait that long.

While fake Spirit Stones were useless to him, they were still good for those who just started their cultivation training. Moreover, they were much more powerful than ancient jade stones, so any magic formation set up by them would definitely be more powerful as well.

Chu Xun suppressed his disappointment and collected some fake Spirit Stones of decent quality, then returned to the ground.

He did not take too many, only slightly more than a hundred. “Even fake Spirit Stones will evolve into Spirit Stones one day, maybe they will be useful in the future.” He thought.

Chu Xun set up a new formation of concealment at the entrance of the cave. Now he only needed to set up the formation of protection for the entire Qianlong Mountain.

He traveled back to Qianlong Mountain and started setting up the Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe.

The scale of the magic formation this time was very large. It took Chu Xun an entire three days and a total of forty-nine fake Spirit Stones to complete it.

Once the giant formation started operating, it resonated with the formation on Spirit Vein. A tremendous amount of spiritual energy was being transferred over to Qianlong Mountain, triggering a series of amazing changes.

It was still in the middle of winter, yet trees on the mountain started growing back their leaves under the nourishment of the spiritual energy. All the plants became lush and lovely once again.

The land was once again a green verdant. Flowers bloomed across the mountain and swayed in the wind.

Qianlong Mountain was covered in an ethereal mist and sat amidst a sea of clouds. Rainbows crossed the sky under the sunlight. At this moment, Qianlong Mountain looked like the wonderland in fairy tales.

The giant formation was completed, yet Chu Xun did not remain idle. He already started his preparation on alchemy.

In a secret chamber at the top of the mountain, Chu Xun grew extremely disappointed when he saw a furnace that was half his size.

Furnaces had two categories — Heaven and Earth. This furnace looked extremely fancy with all kinds of mythological beasts carved on its body, yet it was pretty much useless. This was probably some kind of sick joke made by the one who created the furnace.

When Chu Xun came into possession of this furnace, he had been too busy to study it carefully. Now that he had the time to do so, he could not help but feel disappointed. This was an Earth furnace of poor quality. There were even tiny cracks on its body.

Chu Xun laughed bitterly. He doubted that this furnace could withstand his alchemical practices. Should the furnace explode half way, all his hard work in the past few months would be for nought, because the materials required were extremely precious and he only had one set of them.

Ding!

It was the sound from the wind chimes on the door.

Chen Hanlong designed this wind chime. This was because the stone door for the secret chamber was three feet thick. Even when there was deafening thunder outside, one could hear nothing with the door shut. Therefore, he designed this wind chime for any visitors to notify Chu Xun of their presence.

Long Ao and many others once laughed at this design. They always asked why he did not install a door bell or some kind of speaker, which would be way more convenient.

Chen Hanlong disagreed with their suggestions. He said that decorations must match the style of the environment, so a door bell on a stone door would be the worst combination ever.

Chu Xun walked to the door and opened it to see Chen Hanlong standing outside. He looked very happy.

“Sir, isn’t this a genius design?”

“Is that all you want to ask after travelling all the way here?” Chu Xun did not know how to respond to his question.

Chen Hanlong slapped his head and said, “Oops, I almost forgot. Please follow me, I want to show you something good.”

Chu Xun followed Chen Hanlong to the plaza curiously. This time, Chen Hanlong had done a lot of thinking and planning for the reconstruction of Qianlong Mount Villas.

There were pavilions, rockery gardens, fountains and artificial ponds. In this vast plaza, one could find all kinds of sceneries.

Chu Xun’s gaze fell onto a giant white rock at the edge of the plaza.

It was a giant rock about 50 to 60 feet in height. Its entire body was as white as cream. From afar, it looked like a white hill.

Long Ao and the others were looking at that giant rock.

“This is...” Chu Xun was very curious about this rock. “Where did it come from? It wasn’t here yesterday.”

“I bought this, sir. It cost millions!” Chen Hanlong said with pride.

“Why did you buy this gigantic, useless rock? Were you feeling charitable?” Long Ao ridiculed him.

“Useless?” Chen Hanlong was apparently angered by that comment. He opened his eyes wide and said, “How about you trying to find something similar for me? Do you have any idea about the trouble I went through to get this rock?”

“Okay, okay! It is not useless! But what exactly do you plan to do with it? It can’t just be for decoration, right?” Mo Xinghe tried to smooth things over.

“Of course not. Now that Mr. Chu is known across the world, he must have his own manor...”

“I see... So you want to use this to mark the entrance?”

Chen Hanlong nodded.

“Then have you thought of a name for the manor?” Mo Xinghe asked.

“This, of course, shall be decided by Mr. Chu himself.” Chen Hanlong said.

Chu Xun gave a gentle smile. Chen Hanlong really went out of his way for him this time, but he also could not think of a name at the moment.

“How about ‘Heaven on Earth’?” The sceneries here are stunning, simply breathing the air here makes me feel like I am in Heaven.” Sun Ying suggested as he looked at the others hopefully.

The people present were at a loss for words and felt super embarrassed by his suggestion.

Even Chen Hanlong could not stand that suggestion. He kicked Sun Ying and said, “What kind of stupid name is that? The way I see it, you are about to go to Heaven for real.”

Sun Ying was not in the least upset. He giggled and asked while scratching his head, “Then what should we call it?”

Chen Hanlong thought about it for a moment and his eyes lit up with excitement. He looked up and said, “We are on Qianlong Mountain. Mr. Chu is invincible, he is just like the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu Nation. Therefore, we should call it... Manor of the Invincible Dragon!” (The “long” in “Qianlong mountain” means “dragon”.)

Everyone was stunned, not knowing how to react.

“This name...” Chu Xun thought as the corners of his mouth twitched.

“Taking the character of the dragon from ‘Qianlong’ and combining it with the invincible Xiang Yu’s title, we get ‘Invincible Dragon’! That is a great name!” Sun Ying said to himself and approved of the name wholeheartedly.

The others felt even more embarrassed and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat. Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying were truly the two most uneducated people they had ever met...

“Stop embarrassing yourselves.” Long Ao said to them, as he gave them a scathing look.

“How about Chu Sect?” Hua Qingwu said. She joined in the conversation as well.

Chu Sect, this was the name she told the presbyters from Wuji Sect when they were at the foot of Mount Butterfly.

“That is a nice name!” Mo Xinghe approved of her suggestion.

“How is that as grand as ‘Manor of the Invincible Dragon’!” Chen Hanlong questioned reluctantly.

“If we really use your suggestion, Mr. Chu’s reputation will be destroyed.” Mo Xinghe ridiculed.

“What do you think, sir?” Chen Hanlong asked Chu Xun. He was still hoping that Chu Xun would use the name he suggested.

“Hmmm... Your ‘Invincible Dragon’ indeed sounds powerful, but we should stay low-key. Keep that name in mind, though. You can use it when you establish your own sect.” Chu Xun said with a smile.

Chen Hanlong was a bit disappointed, yet he felt happy once again as he thought of the idea of his own sect. Chu Xun once told them that he would teach them the divine practices, so they would have the power to establish their own sects.

“Have you thought of a name?” Hua Qingwu asked.

“What is there to think about?” Chu Xun answered with a gentle smile.

Swoosh!

He brought out a wooden sword. Streaks of golden light surrounded the body of the sword. With a flick of his wrist, Sword Qi was unleashed with immense strength. Golden light poured out with the power of a storm.

Several streaks of Sword Qi slashed through the air and carved onto the white rock.

Residue from the rock floated in the air for a moment and several carvings appeared on the white rock.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Xun stopped the Sword Qi and stood there, with his hands behind his back.

“Chu Manor”, these two characters appeared on the white rock.

The carvings on the rock were intricate and lively. The characters looked imposing and magnificent, as if they were dragons coming alive. Faint streaks of sharp Sword Qi could even be sensed from time to time.
