Chapter 481
“The Barren Cliff has a unique terrain. Every summer, there will be thunderstorms, and the lighting that strikes will be absorbed by this cliff, which has continued for centuries. In the end, the vitality of the cliff was destroyed by the frightening bolts of lightning, and there isn’t a single plant to be found.
“However, there’s a great secret on this cliff, and as the Senior Brother, I will tell Junior Brothers all that I know about.” Sung Tsz Hin flashed them a mysterious smile.Expploore uptodate stories at novelhall.com
Even Siu Chu was holding his hands nervously, wanting to hear about the great secret of the cliff.
The group walked up the Barren Cliff, but as soon as they reached it, Kam Chin Kee’s face fell. His senses were stronger than Chui Yim's, but before he could try to sense the gliph, a scary ferocious aura stopped him instantly.
They followed Sung Tsz Hin up the cliff, where there sat a gigantic egg-shaped rock the size of a grown adult.
Sung Tsz Hin patted the rock slightly, but it seemed to be stuck to the ground, not moving a single inch. Such a perfect rock couldn't be man-made.
“This is an egg of a gliphic beast.”
The rest were surprised to hear this piece of news from Sung Tsz Hin, Siu Chu even clasped his mouth with his cute, chubby hand. He grew up in Cloud Palace, but Sung Tsz Hin banned him from going to the foot of the mountain due to his young age.
“Master told me that he brought this egg back seven hundred years ago. Feeling that it would be such a pity to be destroyed by man, he brought it back and randomly placed it here. But who knew that it would take root on this piece of land and even influence the surrounding environment? The lightning was summoned by it to become its nutrients.”
“Taking in lighting as nutrients?” Chu Yim was unable to hide his surprise. “What kind of gliphic beast is this? I’ve never read about it in the books!” He turned to Kam Chin Kee, who shook his head. He had never read about this in Evergreen Palace’s Sacred Scripture Pavilion either.
“A widely known gliphic beast.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled at Chui Yim. “But how it grows remains a mystery to many. Seventh Junior Brother, you might be familiar with it.
Sung Tsz Hin shook his head. “Of course, it’s not that simple; there are plenty of rock eggs in this world, all waiting for their chance. During the past seven hundred years, there was even poaching of phantom monkeys, but it still stayed as it is.”
The group left the cliff and made their way up the mountain. They arrived at a huge rundown building. Specifically, it seemed to be some kind of storage place.
The storage was about twenty meters high and wide, looking like a huge cube.
“This is the Purifying Cloud Pavillion. Clouds are the mother of water, but at the same time, they absorb sewage water.” Awkwardness took over Sung Tsz Hin as he explained; even he felt awkward when he first heard the name. “The Purifying Cloud Pavillion is... where we all leave our miscellaneous items.”
“...” The three teenagers were left speechless. What a fancy name for a storage place, really...
Sung Tsz Hin brought them to the entrance and placed his hand on the unassuming black door, pushing it open. Unlike what the teenagers expected, they were welcomed by mountains of treasure. They could feel the aura of powerful gliphic materials, precious treasures, and even money.
The teenagers were now speechless. Calling a treasury storage for miscellaneous items...
“You can take whatever you want from here; it’s here because we don’t need it but deem it valuable.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled at them. “The treasure Fifth Junior Sister is currently using, the Broken Dragon Qin, was taken from here. Even I have no idea who placed it here, but maybe Master does.”
Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee’s eyes shone brightly and they started to touch around, but they were stopped by Sung Tsz Hin. “We still have a lot of time, come back some other day. I’ll bring you somewhere else now.”
Cerulean Mountain was enormous. In the wilderness, beasts roamed freely, but they never dared to head up the mountain, only staying at the foot of the mountain because Cerulean Mountain was where Lost in the Clouds was located.
The group moved up the mountain, but suddenly, they heard a sharp sound.
