Chapitre 78: Chapter 78: The Disciples' Dormitory
Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he hadn't yet taken a look inside the newly constructed alchemy room. Since everyone else was still busy cultivating and this wasn't as ceremonially significant as the main hall, he decided to go ahead and check it out on his own.
He eagerly pushed the door open and stepped inside. The first thing that caught his eye was the Chongming Cauldron, standing proudly in the center of the room. To the left and right were several tall cabinets meant for storing medicinal herbs. Behind the cauldron was a long table, likely meant for placing and preparing ingredients.
Despite the number of items in the room, the space still felt spacious and well-lit. Lin Xiao walked up to the cauldron and examined it closely. The cauldron was black, but within its inky darkness, a continuous glow seemed to pulse and radiate in layers.
Chongming, the eternal light that never fades... he mused.
Curious about the fire source, Lin Xiao lifted the lid of the cauldron and found that the bottom was glowing with a red hue, reminiscent of embers. As he reached closer, he felt the heat radiating from it, confirming that the Red Lotus Lava he had placed earlier was integrated perfectly.
Satisfied with his inspection, Lin Xiao left the alchemy room. Despite its plain exterior, he was more than pleased with the interior.
With that settled, it was time to focus on the disciples' dormitory.
As he considered the dormitory, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that one of his disciples wasn't human—a lazy little chicken demon named Xiao Luan. He recalled that he had a "Beast Cultivation Facility Synthesis Formula" stored in his inventory.
He opened his storage and found it, but after some thought, he decided not to build the beast cultivation facility just yet. After all, Xiao Luan was the only beast in the sect at the moment, and building a facility just for him seemed unnecessary. Besides, given how lazy Xiao Luan was, it felt like a waste. The bird wasn't absorbing the spirit stones efficiently because of their potency—it was simply too lazy to cultivate properly!
Lin Xiao figured that when the dormitory was built, he could just set up a simple coop for Xiao Luan inside one of the rooms.
Speaking of the dormitory, Lin Xiao wasn't planning on cramming everyone into a large, shared space. Privacy was important, especially now that they were all cultivators. He decided to build individual rooms for each disciple.
Opening the construction synthesizer, Lin Xiao quickly and skillfully synthesized a 20-square-meter room. He found a suitable spot on the small hill, then used his spiritual energy blade to carve a horizontal slice through the rock.
However, unlike cutting trees, slicing through the hard, compact mountain stone proved challenging. His spiritual blade only managed to shave off the outer layer, barely making a dent in the stone.
Lin Xiao paused. Looks like my spiritual blade isn't quite up to the task of cutting stone... He sighed, thinking that a proper weapon, maybe a sword with a decent technique, would make things easier. I should start considering better weapons and equipment for the sect.
He mentally noted this down for future consideration before continuing to slice away at the rock, slowly carving out enough space to place the room he had synthesized.
After creating a vertical cut, Lin Xiao aligned the back wall of the small room with the carved-out area and placed it there. Then, following the same method, he built another eleven rooms.
The continuous cutting of stone completely drained his spiritual energy. Nearly an hour later, exhausted, Lin Xiao collapsed onto the ground, but he looked up at the eleven houses now neatly arranged on the small hill with immense satisfaction.
By now, the sun was dipping toward the horizon, and within an hour, the moon would take its place. Lin Xiao decided not to build anything else for now—not only because he was completely out of spiritual energy but also because the sect only had eleven members. Building more houses would just leave them empty, and unoccupied houses deteriorate quickly. It's better to have homes that are lived in.
As for Xiao Luan, Lin Xiao figured the bird could choose any room it wanted—it would just be a matter of setting up a nest inside.
[Ding—Sect Construction Mission [Sect Facilities (4)] completed. Reward has been sent to your private storage. Please check it.]
With both missions completed, their rewards now awaited Lin Xiao in his storage. Excited, he opened it to see what he had received.
He found a few new items: the "Complete Basic Pill Formulas" and the "Two Elements Life and Death Formation."
Though he hadn't yet checked the quality of these items, Lin Xiao felt a little disappointed by the quantity. But then, glancing at his spirit stones, he noticed that their number had increased from 152 to 352. It seemed the two missions had rewarded him with a total of 200 spirit stones.
Content with that, Lin Xiao then noticed something else. The number of First-Order Spirit Vein Fragments had increased from two to three! That meant he could now summon a spirit vein!
Thrilled, Lin Xiao thought, This will be the first spirit vein of our sect! A sect without a spirit vein can't really be called a cultivation ground!
Without hesitation, he took out the three Spirit Vein Fragments. As soon as he did, the system prompt appeared in his mind:
[Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully gathering three First-Order Spirit Vein Fragments. Would you like to synthesize a First-Order Spirit Vein now?]
Lin Xiao immediately chose "Yes."
[First-Order Spirit Vein synthesized successfully. Would you like to place it now?]
After some thought, Lin Xiao decided against placing it immediately. He stored the spirit vein back into his private storage. The spirit vein, now a small, glowing orb, looked like a tiny bundle of light.
The reason Lin Xiao didn't place it right away was that he believed the spirit vein needed to be carefully placed in a specific location. It wasn't something that could be done casually. He planned to consult with Liao Pantu the next day to gather more information before making a decision.
Finally, Lin Xiao turned his attention to the rewards he had yet to fully inspect. The first, "Complete Basic Pill Formulas," was self-explanatory. But the other, the "Two Elements Life and Death Formation," piqued his curiosity.
He used the appraisal function on it.
[Two Elements Life and Death Formation, Earth-tier formation. Highly lethal with great destructive power. Details can be observed through actual use. This formation plate can be directly placed for use, but the user must connect the formation nodes using their own spiritual energy. After activation, 100 spirit stones must be provided.]
Lin Xiao was delighted. This formation was an offensive one!
