Who Built All These Brick-and-Tile Houses?

Zhou Wanwan blinked and said, "You mean all these trees belong to Azure Dragon Mountain Stronghold?"

"Yes... absolutely! Azure Dragon Mountain Stronghold is where I stayed back then."

Zhou Wanwan was speechless with emotion. "Have you ever thought about what it feels like to have dozens of trees suddenly disappear in the middle of the night? And they're all hundreds of years old."

Zhou Wanwan didn't even dare to imagine what Azure Dragon Stronghold would be like tomorrow.

There were other trees I collected along the way; one of them was 5,000 years old and its speech was very sluggish. "This... place... is really fun~~~"

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched as she said, "Whose grandpa is this? How could you bear to let him leave his home?"

The old man said slowly, "I've heard... you guys... often go... to rob people... I find it... quite interesting."

Zhou Wanwan quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are a respectable family, we follow the rules and are polite. That robbery was out of desperation."

"Shh... don't say... I understand."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "There is indeed something I need you to do. I wonder if you're willing?"

The Old Scholar Tree quickly nodded and said, "Of course I'm willing!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"I plan to build a house here and I need your help."

You will be faster than the average person.

The Old Scholar Tree waved its hand and said, "We'll do anything you ask, but how can we build houses? We're just trees, how could we build houses?"

Lingbao rolled her eyes helplessly and said:

"No way? No way? You old tree spirits have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and you can't even build a house? Watch me..."

It waved its little hand and shouted loudly:

"Old Scholar Tree! Stretch out your old roots and dig a square foundation!"

The edges and corners must be neat and tidy, not like something a dog chewed!

And you! Elm tree spirit! Bring out all the blue bricks you hid! Use your rootlets to hold them together, layer by layer! Make sure the joints are aligned.

Yes, yes, the elm spirit is very well made.

Seeing the tree roots slowly begin to move, Lingbao jumped up and down in frustration:

"Hurry up! Dip the first layer in the glutinous rice juice as soon as it's layered! Yes, that sticky stuff from the vat! Spread it in the brick seams! It'll stick really well!"

Even wind and rain can't wash it down! You have so many roots, you should have a clear division of labor!

Some are digging foundations, some are carrying bricks, and some are applying slurry. Don't huddle together!

Watching the blue bricks being piled up little by little, Lingbao stood with his hands on his hips, nodding and swaying his head, humming smugly, "Look! How easy! How fast this house was built!"

Zhou Wanwan sat directly on the rock, which she had dug out of the mountains earlier.

She began directly channeling energy into the trees, which lined up to receive Zhou Wanwan's energy. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a new batch would be sent, and then another batch would be sent.

And so, more than 1,000 trees began their hard work.

More than 1,000 trees are far more powerful than a person; their roots can extend deep into the ground and are extremely strong.

After Zhou Wanwan supplied them with energy, the power of their tree roots became extremely strong, and they quickly completed the foundation.

Following Lingbao's instructions, they began to build with bricks and tiles.

In just one night, five exceptionally large houses were built.

The land has been completely tilled, and the vegetable greenhouses have been set up. This time, a total of 20 vegetable greenhouses were built, and Zhou Wanwan had Dashu plant all the medicinal herbs in them.

They also planted all the sweet potatoes there, and filled all the extra vegetable greenhouses with vegetables.

Then I began to infuse these plants with spiritual energy little by little; otherwise, all of these plants would be ruined.

Zhou Wanwan spent the entire night continuously channeling her spiritual energy, leaving her utterly exhausted.

Lingbao immediately took out a kettle of water and said, "Drink up quickly and replenish your energy. You're pushing yourself too hard!"

Zhou Wanwan drank a whole pot of water in one go. "Transferring spiritual energy is really too tiring, it drains my mental energy too much."

Lingbao grinned and said, "Wanwan, how about I take you to see Grandpa Purple Lingzhi sometime? He lives not far from here."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go together sometime. I need to sleep now, I'm so tired."

Zhou Wanwan fell asleep immediately, and when everyone woke up, they found that five very large brick houses had already been built.

Liu Xiuyuan rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I dreaming?"

He pinched himself hard, then hissed and said, "They're all real! Who built these brick houses?"

Zhou Fusheng shook his head and said:

"If you don't know, how could I possibly know?"

I slept like a log last night, and I have no idea what happened outside.

The trees were making too much noise, so Zhou Wanwan put everyone to sleep yesterday by using some calming incense. The formula for this calming incense is relatively safe.

Liu Su'e shook her head and said, "It's no use looking at me. How would I know?"

Everyone was stunned. Liu Xiuyuan, "Alright, let's not worry about this. Let's get the work done in the fields first. We need to clear at least 20 plots of land today and plant them all with greenhouse vegetables."

But when they arrived at the field, they were stunned to find 20 rows of greenhouse vegetables already growing.

Old Liu muttered to himself:

"Is there something unclean in this mountain stronghold? How can it be so powerful?"

It's unbelievable that they could build five brick houses and prepare the land in just one night!

Liu Su'e knew her daughter was capable, but these things were just too outrageous.

Tie Niu walked over with a dozen men and said:

"Did you sleep well last night? Everything here has changed! Where are the sheds?"

You didn't tear everything down, did you? It's the dead of winter, where are you going to live if you take down all the sheds?

Tie Niu simply couldn't understand these people's minds. Were they trying to stop living like this?

He somewhat regretted taking these people in, but when he saw the five brick houses, he was completely dumbfounded:

"Oh my! These are all brick and tile houses? I didn't see them when I came yesterday!"

You guys... built such a huge project in just one night? I'm absolutely amazed! How did you manage to do that?

"Could we become your apprentices? We're complete novices when it comes to building houses."

Liu Xiuyuan smile and said, "If I told you that we didn't build these brick houses, would you believe me?"

How could they build such neat houses?

Tie Niu naturally didn't believe it:

"It's alright, it's alright, this is your village's skill, I naturally won't force you."

"But when you have time in the future, could you help us build some brick houses?"
