Free Web NovelChapter 143: Chapter 142: Spirit Mountain Hall
A stunning beauty with a fiery figure was making eyes at him, but Qin Feng remained expressionless. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Qin Feng and Ji Huang’er were standing very close, and he could faintly smell an unusual fragrance from the young woman, along with a seductive charm so enchanting it could steal one’s very soul.
Born with an alluring frame, a natural temptress!
"You four, follow me!" After the welcoming ceremony concluded, it was finally time for them to receive their Elder benefits.
The four of them were led to the foot of a mountain, where they saw a magnificent and imposing hall in the distance, built in an ancient, classical style.
Spirit Mountain Hall!
Spirit Mountain Hall was where one chose their Spirit Mountain Blessed Land Cave Mansion from among the many available at All Stars Academy.
Most of the people coming and going on the steps were powerful experts of the Condensing Vein Realm.
Some radiated a murderous aura.
Some were expressionless, others bewitching. freeweɓnøvel.com
Still others were cold and indifferent.
Many experts rode on Exotic Beasts like the Suanni, the Zheng, the Divine Hou, the Piyao, and the Divine Eagle.
"Are these the new Elders?" one of the experts asked, looking at the four youths as they passed by.
He was a burly man who descended from the sky riding a Winged White Tiger, his aura staggering.
The middle-aged man leading them looked up at the burly man on the Winged Tiger and nodded. "So it’s Junior Brother Liu Yan!"
"Not a bad bunch of kids!" The burly man on the Winged Tiger said, his eyes smiling as he swept his gaze over them.
A gorgeous, bewitching female expert was passing by. Hearing this, she shook her head and sneered. "They’re just temporarily holding the title of Elder. Once three months are up, they might not be able to keep their seats!"
"In most years, the new student Elders are knocked down by challengers and end up forgotten in the dust!"
The burly man on the Winged Tiger shook his head with a smile. "Three months is too short to create much of a gap. But if they can hold on to their positions as Elders, they just might be able to pull away from the pack!"
The indifferent middle-aged man glanced at the four, whose expressions had faltered slightly, and gently shook his head. He then smiled at the woman and her companions.
"Did you all have a fruitful trip? Are you planning to use your Points to get a new Spirit Mountain Cave Mansion?"
"That’s right, we had a pretty good haul. That’s why we came here. We want to buy a new Cave Mansion. We heard the academy recently seized a few High-Level Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands from some Beast Kings, and we want to ask Senior Brother Zhu Jian to help us reserve a few spots! As for the Points to buy the Cave Mansions, we already have them ready!"
"Go on in, then. Senior Brother Zhu is inside!"
The burly man’s figure flashed as he landed. His Winged White Tiger was remarkably intelligent; it swept its majestic gaze over Qin Feng’s group of four before lying down on the ground, looking lazy.
It was a pure-blooded, First-level Barbarian Beast, a royal of the Tiger Race. It possessed the bloodline of the White Tiger, one of the Four Spirit Beasts, and its combat power was astonishing. Yet at this moment, it appeared quite docile.
"You little ones have good potential. If you have time, you can come find me at the Taichu Team!"
Liu Yan glanced at the group, and with a flash, his figure vanished into the Spirit Mountain Hall.
The female expert scoffed, shot the group a disdainful look, and her figure followed closely behind Liu Yan into the Spirit Mountain Hall.
"Who are they?" Ji Huang’er asked coldly.
The indifferent middle-aged man glanced at her, and for some unknown reason, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"They are your seniors, and also students here at All Stars Academy."
After several hundred steps, the group ascended the white stone stairs and arrived at the Spirit Mountain Hall.
"Wait here a moment!" The middle-aged man who had led them glanced at the group, then hurried into a rear hall. Not long after, a somewhat impatient, green-robed middle-aged man walked out.
Looking at the four youths and their cold gazes, the green-robed middle-aged man frowned and spoke coldly.
"The academy doesn’t have many Cave Mansions left. Choose for yourselves!"
The green-robed man seemed full of grievances and was clearly displeased.
Qin Feng and the others were baffled; the four of them hadn’t done anything to offend this green-robed man.
What Qin Feng’s group of four didn’t know was that the Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands conquered by All Stars Academy were normally placed in the Spirit Mountain Hall to be rented or sold to the academy’s students in exchange for Points.
With every rental or sale, disciples like the green-robed middle-aged man who were in charge of operations would receive a sizable commission.
Qin Feng’s group of four were essentially getting something for nothing. Not only would the green-robed man not get his Point commission, but he also had to give up the best Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands, which was why he was so unhappy.
However, this was a rule of All Stars Academy. Although Senior Brother Zhu was unhappy about it, he could only hold his nose and accept it.
With a casual wave of his hand, the green-robed man summoned a virtual, floating Earth Geography Mountain River Map into the air.
It was a Treasure Map!
The mountains and waterways on the virtual map were marked with extreme clarity, shimmering with a faint fluorescent light.
The red lights represented ownerless Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands.
The Spirit Mountain Blessed Land Cave Mansions that already had owners had already been hidden and removed from the options.
The map was filled with swirling red dots, a dazzling and bewildering sight.
"Hurry up, don’t waste my time!" the green-robed man barked coldly, glancing at the four.
As a Trial Taker who had passed the All Stars Academy’s trials, Ji Huang’er was the first to step forward and look at the Earth Geography Mountain River Map.
"First, narrow the scope. Remove all Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands that don’t have the Fire Attribute!"
Senior Brother Zhu, the green-robed middle-aged man, glanced at Ji Huang’er and formed a Hand Technique. Instantly, many of the red lights vanished, revealing a few remaining Fire Attribute Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands.
"I choose this one!" Ji Huang’er’s beautiful eyes flashed as they fell upon one of the locations on the map.
Golden Phoenix Mountain, Qixia Cave!
Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the location, and information about Golden Phoenix Mountain and Qixia Cave instantly flashed through his mind.
Golden Phoenix Mountain was located on the outskirts of the City of Many Stars, in a territory occupied by All Stars Academy. It was specifically Mountain Peak No. 183 on the periphery of the Barbaric Realm. The mountain was home to the relict species Golden-Silk Wutong trees, and the Earth Fire underground was abundant, making it one of the few Sixth-level Spiritual Mountains among the Fire Attribute Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands.
Golden Phoenix Mountain was the territory of the Alchemy Institute. By choosing it, Ji Huang’er was essentially announcing her direct entry into the All Stars Academy’s Alchemy Institute, becoming one of its disciples.
After making her choice, Ji Huang’er took out an All Stars Token and pressed it against the Earth Geography Mountain River Map. A fiery red Gold Seal immediately flew out, transforming into a streak of red light and merging into her All Stars Token.
This was the Cave Mansion’s control Gold Seal!
From this moment on, Ji Huang’er was the Cave Master of Qixia Cave on Golden Phoenix Mountain.
STEP, STEP, STEP!!!
A flurry of footsteps receded into the distance. After making her choice, Ji Huang’er departed immediately without a single glance at the other three, her already foul mood evident.
Qin Feng’s gaze swept over and he noticed that Zhao Sikong, the Elder from Xuanwu Academy, was staring intently at Ji Huang’er’s departing figure.
’He’s clearly infatuated with her!’
"Alright, next!" The voice was even colder now. Senior Brother Zhu’s face was gloomy, as dark as a gathering storm.
’A Cave Mansion on a Sixth-level Spiritual Mountain... If this were sold, even just the residency rights for one year would fetch a considerable amount of Points, and now someone just took it for free.’
’Such strong resentment!’ Qin Feng thought, his expression stiff as he walked up to the Earth Geography Mountain River Map under the explosive glare of the green-robed Senior Brother Zhu.
With just one glance, Qin Feng was nearly dazzled by the options. The Earth Geography Mountain River Map was filled with Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands of all sizes, each possessing the spiritual elegance of magnificent mountains and rivers. If he hadn’t been mentally prepared, he feared it would be incredibly difficult to make a decision.
’Which Cave Mansion should I choose?’ he wondered. After a moment of deliberation, Qin Feng raised his head and fixed his gaze on the Earth Geography Mountain River Map.
"Narrow the scope. Remove all options for Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands that are not of the Wood, Water, or Wind Attributes!"
