After Eldest Deng advanced, Yu Changqing cultivated for another two days before putting away the Spirit-Gathering Formation.
The Deng brothers spread the word everywhere, while their father, Deng Yifu, arrived at the foot of Pacify Arms Mountain early.
Chief Escort Deng's business in Xiyin City was currently booming, but he had also arranged for people to build a house on Pacify Arms Mountain, making it seem as though he might move here. The Deng family's two-courtyard residence was right beside Lang Zhen's home.
After Lang Zhen moved his family here, construction on his residence progressed quickly. They rested during the scorching daytime heat and worked by lamplight at night. It had now been fully completed, and they had even strung up a wire in the courtyard and installed a lightbulb.
As for installing lights inside the house, the entire Lang family agreed that one light in the courtyard was enough. Their windows had been fitted with the "glass" Master Feng had mentioned. It let in plenty of light, and placing the lamp in the courtyard could also illuminate the way for passersby.
When Deng Yifu arrived, his family residence was still somewhat incomplete. He first discussed matters with Lang Zhen, saying that his own courtyard could not hold so many guests and that he would need to borrow Lang Zhen's courtyard. Then he began notifying friends everywhere.
Of course, construction on the residence was also important. Seeing that workers were needed in every area, he wandered around nearby, recruiting temporary laborers.
At the jade-cutting site, he spotted two people whose cultivation was not high, yet they worked quickly and skillfully. Their craftsmanship was exceptionally solid, so he went over to discuss matters with them, hoping they could help carve some small decorative pieces for his home, such as eave supports
