In Nuishui Village, within an unnamed small mountain,
someone had built a ring of walls halfway up the mountain, not of ordinary piled stones and wood, but forged of steel, deeply embedded into the rocky mountain body.
The huge and heavy gate was outlined with countless mysterious patterns, magnificent and grand, making it look less like a mountain stronghold and more like the outer wall of a temple.
However, inside there was no temple; instead, there were green mountains and clear waters, flowing ponds, and a precarious cliff.
Beyond that, there was just an open space.
The ground was laid with smooth marble slabs and evenly sprinkled with white, peculiarly fine sand.
In the center of the open space stood a golden sculpture, shaped like a large treasure basin.
Judging by the material, it was cast in gold, surrounded by a circle of gemstones, thus resembling a champion's trophy standing there.
