In the afternoon, they headed toward the Essence cauldron peak.
"So, you are saying that the peak masters of the seven peaks in the Divine Sword Sect are all elders in the Celestia Blade Hall?"
"Yes, and excluding those seven, there are three for combat and one Supreme Elder who is currently in seclusion"
"So there is a Supreme Elder, huh? Is he or she stronger than the sect master?" Rahu asked curiously, walking down the mountains at a leisurely pace.
"Obviously, she is one of the top cultivators in the Holy Sun Continent. Sect masters can change sometimes, but the Supreme Elder is unchanged; she is the reason our Divine Sword Sect is still standing strong!" Vivianne spoke with a proud smile.
"Oh? Sigh, so many powerful women to tame and liberate, how can I handle all this?" …Rahu, of course, didn't say this out loud.
…
Soon, they reached the Essence Cauldron Peak.
And he had to give it to them–Essence Cauldron Hall could definitely be qualified to say, The Alchemy peak of the Divine Sword Sect.
It was unlike any other peaks, not that he had seen other peaks, but the other peaks either had sharp, sword-like ridges or the majesty they showed.
The Essence cauldron peak breathed in warmth, fragrance and spiritual mana. If one were to look at it from afar, they would see a colossal cauldron turned upside down by the hands of heaven itself.
The entire mountain shimmered with blue-orangish mana mist, probably the aftereffect of countless furnaces igniting day and night.
"Hehe, stunned, right? Behold! This is the heart of our sect. The Essence Cauldron Peak plays an important role in our economy, trades, business deals, heck even our sect disciples' future is bet on this peak!"
Rahu, the word stunned wouldn't do justice to his feelings; his heart thumped in excitement. This otherworldly environment he had read in countless novels, comics, and manhwa, certainly didn't contain this realistic vividity.
Vivianne's words snapped him back to reality. He smiled at her words; even without her saying, he could more or less guess the job.
They walked towards the entrance gate, the moment they stepped in, their senses were overwhelmed by the fruity aroma of spiritual herbs, medicinal steam and intoxicating fragrances of spiritual flowers.
The mana here was so pure that every inhale nourished his body slightly.
"Hehe, you should consider yourself lucky, other than the alchemists and core disciples, none are allowed to step inside…this" Vivianne smirked playfully, which earned a resounding smack on her bubbly butt.
As they walked inside, surrounded by flora, they visited the Grand Cauldron plaza. A huge bowl-shaped clearing at the base of the peak.
Dozens of junior alchemists practised lighting their furnaces, rows of cauldrons burping smoke.
Rahu was walking slowly, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Soon, they reached the centre, where stood the same colossal cauldron they saw before; it was a fifty-meter tall cauldron engraved with intricate dragon and phoenix motifs.
"What's that cauldron, Vivianne?" Rahu asked curiously. It was looking so majestic, and he could feel an ancient aura from that cauldron.
"It's called 'Heaven-Tower Cauldron, ' handsome." Before Vivianne could answer, a sweet voice rang behind them.
They both were surprised, because they didn't even sense when someone sneaked up behind them.
Turning back, Rahu saw a gorgeous beauty, she was standing behind them with her hands playfully folded behind her back, her lips were curved in mischievousness.
"S-Seris!?" Vivianne gasped; apparently, she was shocked to see her. Her mouth automatically curved in disgust.
"Long time no see, Vivi, and hey, bitch, your best friend is here, and you are making that face!?" Seris put her hands on her chest and pouted dramatically.
"Shut up! Bitch, and please, I have a decent reputation, do not insult me by calling me your best friend!" Vivianne shot back, venom dripping from her tongue, Hell, even sparks could be seen flashing in her eyes.
"Oh, come on, are you still angry with me about that prank years ago? I had already apologised, right?"
Seris, really, was something the way her expressions and face changed every second.
It was certainly something to watch.
"And who are you again?"
Rahu, who was watching this interaction in amusement, finally decided to intervene.
"Vivianne, explain", hearing his ''if you don't answer, I will spank your ass tone, she pouted and reluctantly started to explain.
"Her name is Seris Frostine…" saying that, she stopped mid-sentence and refused to speak further.
"..."
"..."
"Handsome, don't worry about that cow-tits, come here, I'll tell you all you need!" Seris ignored the pouting Vivianne and pulled Rahu's hand.
Rahu raised his brows. This girl sure was bold. He let her pull him, not that he could resist her grip that was like a hawk, just that it had the strength of a few mountains.
"Hey, bitch stay away from him!" A vein popped on Vivianne's forehead when she heard the 'unlady-like' remark from her best friend.
"Hahaha, Seris, although I am enjoying this as much as you. I have some work here, so…let me go"
Rahu smiled gently and asked 'politely'.
"Aww, handsome are you…Are you asking me on a date!?"
The girl was so mesmerized by his smile and face that she had interpreted something else entirely.
Bonk!
A fist landed straight on Seri's head, and a good-looking bump rose!
It was Vivianne who couldn't take it any more.
"Ouch, bitch you're still nasty and unfriendly as ever"
Rubbing her head gently, she stuck out her tongue and booed at her.
"Vivianne, what had she done for you to get so worked up?"
Well, the cat fight wasn't going to stop any sooner; it seems he might as well enjoy it.
"Hehe, let's go to a quieter place first"
Saying that the three walked into a secluded place. Sitting on a giant stone with Rahu in the middle of the beauties.
"So? Spill it", he asked, nudging his arm to the smiling Seris.
"Hmph, it's nothing, a few years ago I gave her my newly created Body Re-structuring Pill, that helps enhance a certain body part if taken correctly, but it was still a prototype and I uh kinda test—gave it to Vivianne and when she took it you can't believe what happened!! Pfff! Her brea–mmpph!!"
"Hey! Bitch! Why are you telling him this!? This bastard will definitely tease me to death if he hears that!" Vivianne shouted, attempting to close her mouth with her hands.
