Chapter 123: Origin Blessing Trees
On the far eastern side of the Eternal Sun sect, a glowing beast is running like a flash under the shade of darkness. Kent, who sat on his Fire Kirin, moved like a streak as he ascended the rising sun peak. Thankfully, there is no other disciple anywhere close to the rising sun peak who could potentially notice his sneaking.
Just as he reached the entrance of the peak, he saw peak master Porus waiting for him at the entrance. Kent hurriedly got down from his pet and bowed his head in respect.
Without showing any expression, Porus nodded his head. "Here, take this." Porus extended his hand and placed a small jade pearl, in Kent's hand. It is the same jade pearl given by the old patriarch on the rock pillar.
"What is this, master?" Kent asked curiously while observing the violet-colored pearl in his hands.
"It is a protective treasure. This will save you from any type of poison attack for one time. It is a precautionary measure to save you from poison." Porus replied while mounting on his fire antelope.
"Thank you, master." Kent bowed with an excited smile before wearing the jade pearl around his neck.
"You don't need to thank me. As your master, it is my duty to protect you. Now, follow me closely." Porus said as he turned around. While Porus is moving on his fire antelope, Kent followed closely on his fire Kirin. Except for the moonlight glow, there is no other light source on the peak. Only their two pets were breathing fire, lighting up the path before them.
Soon they reached a rock mountain that stretched high into the air. They continue to move along the edges of the mountain, reaching towards the back of the mountain. Finally, peak master Porus came to stop before a large boulder. As he got down from his pet, Kent also did the same.
With a solemn gaze, Porus took out a black aura stone from his storage ring and placed it on the small socket of that bolder. Instantly, the boulder moved to the side, revealing a narrow path.
Without saying anything, Porus began walking inside the cave-like path. Kent followed closely while observing the walls, which were in a light pinkish color. The two pets followed in the back.
Several rocks and small boulders hindered their path. Due to the decade-long absence, the path became very unclear. But as Porus walked in front, the path cleared up automatically with his aura, which cut through like a sharp blade.
The path became wider as they approached the center. Soon, they reached the end of the path, where a large pond situated at the center. Kent opened his mouth wide in surprise. The entire pond is glowing in light baby pink color, and several small glowing trees surround the pond from all sides.
As Kent observed closely, he found that those pink trees were looking exactly like the blessing tree he saw in the backyard of his palace. The scene before is very beautiful, and all the surroundings were glowing brightly.
Suddenly, Kent's fire Kirin hurriedly moved forward to eat the pinkish apple-like fruits that were hanging from the branches of blessing trees. But the fire antelope blocked it with a serious look.
The Fire Kirin hurriedly took a back step, afraid of the old Fire Antelope. The fire Kirin turned towards Kent with a pitiful look. Porus smiled at its behavior and picked up two fruits from the blessing tree.
"This is your first and last fruit. Don't try to snatch your master's food. Understand." Porus said with a playful smile as he tossed a pink fruit towards the Fire Kirin. It hurriedly jumped forward and swallowed the whole thing in one gulp. Porus tossed another fruit to his pet.
"Master, are these blessing trees?" Kent asked in a surprised tone while checking the entire place.
"These are origin blessing trees that were in the mature stage. Unlike those green trees in the disciple residence, these origin blessing trees were 10,000 times more valuable. The roots of these pink trees will originate from the mother aura vein. Those green trees will originate from the branches of aura veins.
Among all the five peaks, only the rising sun peak has these origin blessing trees." Porus said with a proud face as he moved close to the pond.
Kent's eyes went wide open as he walked close to those trees. He did not find any words to describe the beauty and power of this one place.
"What are you staring at? Come here. We only have time until the sun rise." Porus called out loudly as he tasted the pond water, which turned into a pink syrup.
Kent hurriedly approached Porus and waited for his command. "Remove your upper garments and enter the lake." Porus commanded while turning his gaze towards Kent.
Without another question, Kent loosened the threads and removed his upper garments. Porus gaze fluttered for a moment as he stared at Kent's bare body.
"Are you a body-cultivator?" Porus asked with a questioning look.
"No, master. I consume few pills which helps in body strengthening." Kent replied hurriedly.
After a long stare, Porus nodded his head and gestured Kent to enter the pond water. For a second, Porus thought of giving a body cultivation manual to Kent. But he shook away that idea, as Kent already busy with two roles.
As Kent stepped inside the pond, he felt a cold sensation rushing through his body. Without his will, the aura began circulating inside his body, and soon his aura channels were flooded with pure aura.
Just in a few moments, the two empty compartments in the secondary magus circle filled up, pushing Kent to the 10th grade magus stage.
"Master, this is incredible." Kent muttered loudly in excitement. Seeing his silly face, Porus controlled his smile, but he felt satisfied with Kent's reaction.
"Boy, this is just a small thing. With the resources of the rising sun peak, I can make you a grand master magus in 3 lunar circles [months]. But that is not my intention. Listen carefully, what I'm going to say is your future for the next lunar cycle." Porus spoke in a serious tone as he began speaking about Kent's training plan.
[Lunar circle = month; lunar cycle = year.]
