Autumn Water Pavilion's Hot Spring Was Finished!

Autumn Water Pavilion is not small, but its architectural style is relatively compact.

There are artificial hills and a stream running through them, but it's really hard to find a large open space.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"If you hollow out the artificial hill, it will be just right."

"We have a cover now. Then Master and Ice Block can soak in it too."

"I'm a genius."

Little Li praised himself in his heart.

Let's get started.

He took out the Crimson Firmament Sword and the Star Pestle, and began digging with both hands. He threw the stones he dug out directly into the World Seed, and would find another place to throw them later.

Excellent efficiency.

Ding ding ding...

Rustling...

"Um?"

"Are you trying to destroy the house, you little rascal?"

Watching Li Mo's busy figure, Shang Wu squinted her almond-shaped eyes and muttered something.

Ying Bing was staring at the teacup in front of her.

Because of the commotion nearby, the tea rippled, causing her phoenix eyes, reflected in the water, to tremble.

Shang Wu, disturbed from her peaceful dream, walked up behind Li Mo with her hands on her hips:

"What are you doing? Do you find this artificial hill an eyesore?"

"You could have just told me, I'd have just punched you..."

"Etc!"

Li Mo quickly stopped him.

"I want to hollow out the middle of the artificial hill and build a hot spring."

"Then you can take a bath in it."

"Spa?"

Shang Wu tilted her head.

"Yes, Master, just imagine, taking a bath and having a little wine, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Li Mo smiled.

If Ice Block and Shizun also soak in the hot springs, then that adds another long-term, fixed investment return.

What does it mean to be an investment genius?

Shang Wu thought for a moment, and it seemed she could already see herself soaking in a hot spring, sipping wine.

It's so beautiful.

She patted Li Mo's shoulder with a beaming smile:

"Hmph, it seems you haven't wasted your time following me; you even managed to think of this kind of enjoyment."

"How far do you plan to excavate the artificial hill?"

She raised her fist, emboldened.

Li Mo calculated the area of Mist Flower Ageless Spring and said:

"Make an opening large enough for two people to enter."

"Then hollow out the middle of the artificial hill, roughly ten zhang in circumference."

"Simple."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Then a small, delicate fist lightly struck the artificial hill, causing it to tremble violently three times.

Boom--

The force penetrated the mountain rocks, and an opening large enough for two people to enter at the same time collapsed.

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.

After he cleared away all the broken stones, he discovered that the dimensions inside the cave were exactly as he had described.

"Wow, Master is amazing!"

"It's just a matter of controlling the force; it's like hitting someone, nothing difficult."

Shang Wu calmly raised her chin.

Li Mo nodded.

He can strike a person with a single blow, breaking bones and causing internal burns, yet leaving no visible damage.

However, it is not yet possible to shatter the middle of a mountain.

"Call me when you're done."

Shang Wu yawned and went back to get her beauty sleep.

More than two hours later.

The 'Hot Spring Mountain' at the Autumn Water Pavilion is almost complete.

After clearing away the rubble, Li Mo dug out a pool that was ten meters long and ten meters wide.

Incidentally, he also used the Crimson Firmament Sword to carve some patterns on the walls inside the artificial mountain, which looked pleasing to the eye, and inlaid Night-Shining Pearl at the top for lighting.

He used the extra stones to make several stone stools and a stone table, which he placed in the pool.

"Extracting the Mist Flower Ageless Spring"

Li Mo silently recited it in his heart.

Suddenly, a spring appeared in the middle of the dug pool.

The spring water, carrying a thin mist, gurgled and bubbled up.

If a person stands inside, the water will just reach their lower abdomen; if they sit down, their head and below will be submerged in the spring water.

Splash--

Li Mo reached in and splashed around in the spring water; the temperature was just right.

"Tsk tsk, perfect."

After a hard afternoon's work, Master Li showed a satisfied smile.

"Alright?"

Two footsteps sounded behind me.

Looking back, Shang Wu and Ying Bing were both there. They were looking at the pool of spring water. The former was impatient, while the latter frowned slightly and pursed her lips.

"We can go to the hot springs tonight!"

"This hot spring is no ordinary spring; it is a sacred spring."

"Not only does it beautify and nourish the skin, but it also detoxifies and removes impurities, and it's suitable for sensitive skin."

"Aren't you tempted, everyone? Place your order now and we'll be giving away free gifts!"

Little Li, exhibiting a histrionic personality disorder, began to give a vivid and engaging explanation.

Wow, there are even free gifts?

Shang Wu was in a great mood and responded to the conversation in a very cooperative manner.

"That's right!"

Li Mo, with a mysterious expression, took out three pieces of clothing from his System Space.

They were all hand-sewn by my mother and the maids in the mansion.

That's right!

Since there is only one hot spring, it's inevitable that many people will want to soak in it at the same time.

When he got home, he told his mother that he wanted to make several bathrobes, using only the finest materials.

"Let's put on yukatas and soak in the hot spring together!"

"Not bad, not bad, very thoughtful. You truly are worthy of being my precious disciple."

Shang Wu, holding the clothes, couldn't wait to go down and experience them right now.

She took the bathrobe and gave another one to Ying Bing.

Ying Bing stared intently at the hot spring and the yukata.

The fog is hot.

A strange glint appeared in her eyes...

"I'm not going to soak."

"Um?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why.

Shang Wu was also puzzled:

"This feels so comfortable, why?"

"I'm not used to it."

Ying Bing shook her head, turned around, and walked out.

"Hmm... okay, you can come alone if you want to."

Li Mo shrugged.

If he doesn't soak the Ice Block, he'll miss out on a long-term return on his investment.

How could anyone not like taking a bath?

No one should be able to resist it...

Once you've experienced it, who could resist this kind of joy?

You might just find the Ice Block surprisingly delicious later.

Night falls.

[Congratulations, host, on your investment in the 'Shang Wu' mythical beast dishes.]

[Investment Feedback: Pine Pattern Purple Smoke Beast Ink]

[Congratulations, host, for investing in 'Ying Bing's' exotic beast dishes.]

[Investment Feedback: Qilin Fragrance-Producing Inkstone]

The Autumn Water Pavilion has just finished its dinner service.

Li Mo also obtained two exquisite pieces of writing implements.

Why am I giving him feedback like this so often lately? He's not going to take the imperial examinations...

Shang Wu had already changed into her yukata.

Um...

Mother underestimated the magnificence of her beautiful master; if the fabric hadn't been of such high quality, it probably would have burst.

To avoid this situation.

Shang Wu unbuttoned two buttons and asked again:

"Little Bing, you really aren't going to soak?"

No, thank you.

Ying Bing gently shook her head and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Shang Wu pouted.

She also wanted to have a water fight with Little Bing.

Not long after.

The master and apprentice soaked in the pool.

"Hmph~"

Shang Wu let out two comfortable hums, her peony-like face now flushed with a rosy glow, blooming even more vividly.

She glanced at Li Mo not far away and said:

"It's comfortable, but don't soak for too long. Go practice your kung fu soon."

"The Yun Prefecture Martial Arts Summit is all about you and Little Bing bringing honor to our sect!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo smiled and wiped the water from his face:

"Don't worry, Master, it won't be delayed at all."

He took out a bottle of Earth Vein Spirit Milk from the System Space.

Then, while Shang Wu was still in a daze, he poured in half a bottle.

Then, with a contented expression, he leaned against the pool wall, feeling the tingling, warm sensation.

"So extravagant."

Shang Wu was often criticized by the other elders for her extravagant spending, and at this moment she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

This is so good, I could use it for a bath?

Li Mo smiled modestly:

"My disciple has accumulated some wealth."

Shang Wu rolled her eyes, then slightly curled the corners of her mouth:

"If Elder Xue were here, he'd probably faint from exhaustion."

It doesn't matter that Elder Xue isn't here.

She can tell him herself next time!

After enjoying himself for a while, Li Mo asked again:

"By the way, Master, have any Divine Observation Diagram or fundamental diagrams been left behind on Jade Cluster Peak?"
