Completion and Barbarian Visitors
Mo Xuan was taken aback.
"Oh? Come with me to take a look."
Mo Xuan rose and Luozhen Grand Hall.
Previously, Li Yunjing had set a test for Liu Qingsong.
If Liu Qingsong could build a Welcoming Immortal Pavilion,
Then he could continue to stay in the Luozhen Sect and serve as a craftsman for the Luozhen Sect.
This matter is quite challenging for Liu Qingsong.
After Li Yunjing went into seclusion, Liu Qingsong was still thinking about how to build it.
How long has it been, and it's already completed?
Arriving at the eastern foot of the Serene Valley,
Mo Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
The main building of the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion is supported by a three-tiered base made of a single piece of Qingxuan stone. Nine jade steps in front of the steps extend like a dragon's spine, and each step is engraved with the cloud pattern emblem of the Luozhen Sect.
The main building is entirely framed with Breitling Spirit Sandalwood, with beams and columns thick enough to be embraced by a person, and light gold patterns flowing at the joints of the mortise and tenon joints.
The eaves soar like crane wings, the dark tiles layered like dragon scales, and a bronze Mountain-Subduing stands in the center of the ridge.
The main gate is over two zhang high, with Xuantie wooden doors inlaid with copper nails representing the seven luminaries of the Big Dipper. A golden plaque hangs above the gate, inscribed with the three characters "Welcoming Immortal Pavilion" in a vigorous and flowing style.
The east and west corridors extend like the wings of a roc, with openwork reliefs between the pillars. The roof is covered with glazed blue-gold tiles, which reflect rainbow light under the sun and blend with the Serene Valley mist, making it seem like a fairy palace in the clouds.
It must be said that Mo Xuan was truly shocked when he first saw Welcoming Immortal Pavilion.
"This kid's abilities are truly surprising," Mo Xuan muttered to himself.
Hu Ruizhu's eyes widened as well.
Even the royal palace of the Annan Kingdom cannot compare to it.
It should be noted that although Annan Kingdom was a small country,
But no matter what, it is still a country.
The royal palace of the Annan Kingdom was built with the combined resources of the entire nation.
This was done to demonstrate the prestige of the Annan Kingdom royal family.
After embarking on the path of cultivation,
Hu Ruizhu broadened her horizons.
But I've never seen anything comparable to the royal palace of the Annan Kingdom.
Now, Hu Ruizhu has finally witnessed it firsthand.
Before the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, Liu Qingsong and other craftsmen looked at the enormous structure before them and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Qingsong, in particular, held his head high, exuding arrogance.
He personally designed and helped build it.
As Mo Xuan approached, Liu Qingsong immediately dropped his arrogant demeanor.
"Greetings, Elder Mo."
The other craftsmen also bowed in greeting.
Mo Xuan waved his hand. "No need. You've given me a very pleasant surprise with this Welcoming Immortal Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong was overjoyed.
With that said, I'm sure I'll be able to stay.
Mo Xuan asked Liu Qingsong to lead the way and enter the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion for a look.
Walk up the jade steps into the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion.
Mo Xuan strolled around the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion.
The interior of the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion is also made of solid materials, which match its exterior.
Although not as flamboyant as its appearance, it still gave Mo Xuan a sense of luxury.
After the tour, Mo Xuan nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, you've passed the test," Mo Xuan said.
"By order of the Sect Leader Luozhen, I authorize you to remain in the Luozhen Sect Luozhen Sect and serve as a craftsman."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong's expression turned serious.
"Thank you, Elder Mo."
"Elder Mo, I have a request to make, but I wonder if I may speak of it?"
Mo Xuan was in a great mood. "Speak."
Liu Qingsong said, "These people also participated in the construction of the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion. I wonder if they could stay as well?"
Mo Xuan looked at the people around Liu Qingsong.
He is about the same age as Liu Qingsong.
They were all in their early twenties.
Mo Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Granted."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong was immediately overjoyed.
He quickly pulled the others to bow together.
"Thank you, Elder Mo!"
"You've worked hard building the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion. Follow Ruizhu to receive your reward later," Mo Xuan said.
"I grant you five days of rest. After five days, you will be assigned tasks."
Of course, don't slack off during these five days; strive to cultivate diligently and become a first-class craftsman.
If you're still just a low-ranking craftsman, you'll fall behind the Luozhen Sect.
Mo Xuan smiled kindly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong and the others became serious, understanding what Mo Xuan meant.
Craftsmanship is, of course, a profession.
And it's quite popular.
After all, it's about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
The demand for housing is not low among cultivators.
Cave abode and repairing cave abode both require the assistance of craftsmen.
However, the requirements for becoming a first-class craftsman are quite high.
Since we are going to build a building,
Therefore, craftsmen need to master a lot of knowledge.
Feng shui, formations...
Craftsmen learn a wide variety of skills.
Liu Qingsong and the others were still just unranked craftsmen.
The Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, though well-built, was ultimately just an ordinary structure.
There was no formation covering it, and it lacked some spiritual energy.
This is quite different from that of a top-tier craftsman.
"Elder Mo, I will try my best later," Liu Qingsong replied in a deep voice.
Mo Xuan nodded, and Hu Ruizhu led Liu Qingsong and the others away.
At that moment, Mo Xuan received a message from Shui Yao.
The barbarians are coming.
Mo Xuan turned his head and glanced at the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion.
This perfectly allowed the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion to make its debut.
Mo Xuan personally went to the mountain gate to greet the barbarians.
After waiting for a while, five Flood Dragon Scale Horse galloped towards them on the wind.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, the five Flood Dragon Scale Horse stopped.
Shui Yao, Liu Yiyi, and the three barbarians dismounted.
"Junior sister, this is..."
Mo Xuan walked to Shui Yao's side and asked, puzzled.
Where did these five Flood Dragon Scale Horse from?
Shui Yao lowered her voice.
"Brother Xuan, these five Flood Dragon Scale Horse were a gift from those three barbarians; they said it was a greeting present."
Mo Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
The Flood Dragon Scale Horse is a very rare beast.
It contains a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline within its body.
Although the Flood Dragon bloodline is thin, it still makes the Flood Dragon Scale Horse stand out among the lower-level Demon Beast.
Not only are they formidable in combat, but killing them and eating their meat is also quite delicious.
Even the Flood Dragon Scale Horse possesses outstanding endurance and extremely high speed.
It is also an excellent choice as a vehicle for carrying people and goods.
Unfortunately, no Flood Dragon Scale Horse live around the Xunxian Town.
Even the Golden Scale Sect, famous for its beast taming,
They only kept eight Flood Dragon Scale Horse.
The Golden Scale Sect is renowned for treasuring these eight Flood Dragon Scale Horse.
The barbarians actually gave away five horses at once.
This changed Mo Xuan's attitude towards the barbarians.
"You three fellow Daoists have come from afar and must be tired. I have already had some spiritual tea and fruit prepared. Please come with me to rest," Mo Xuan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
One of the white-bearded barbarians, feeling curious, spoke a few words in his barbarian language.
Through Liu Yiyi's translation, Mo Xuan learned the truth.
His name was Pan. Pan then asked where Li Yunjing was.
Mo Xuan asked Liu Yiyi to tell Pan that Li Yunjing was in seclusion.
He is currently in charge of the Luozhen Sect.
Pan was filled with envy upon learning that Li Yunjing was in seclusion.
He mumbled a few words in a barbarian language.
Liu Yiyi told Mo Xuan that Pan was lamenting that Li Yunjing's cultivation was about to surpass his.
Mo Xuan nodded, silently noting it down in his mind.
Subsequently, Mo Xuan instructed Shui Yao to bring several Flood Dragon Scale Horse into the Luozhen Sect.
He then led the barbarians to the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion.
Upon arriving at the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, the three barbarians' eyes widened in surprise, and they spoke excitedly in their barbarian language.
"Elder Mo, they are marveling at the grandeur of the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion," Liu Yiyi whispered to Mo Xuan.
At this moment, a man who looked to be in his forties appeared beside Pan.
But the barbarian, whose body was bulging with muscles and whose upper body was naked with incomprehensible patterns painted on it, looked at Mo Xuan.
After exchanging a few words, Liu Yiyi told Mo Xuan.
"Elder Mo, he is asking you how the Luozhen Sect built this Welcoming Immortal Pavilion."
He also planned to build a Welcoming Immortal Pavilion after returning to his tribe.
Mo Xuan smiled, indicating that it was the work of a craftsman.
The barbarian asked Mo Xuan to introduce him to some craftsmen.
Beyond the Hundred Yue Mountain, the dwellings of the barbarians were still very primitive.
They could either live in a cave or find some stones and build a makeshift stone house.
This is in stark contrast to the situation at the Luozhen Sect.
After all, survival is the top priority in the Hundred Yue Mountain.
The comfort of the accommodation doesn't matter, as long as it's habitable.
But nowadays, as contact with the outside world is gradually opened up,
The barbarians' lives improved as well.
The chances of survival increase significantly.
It's time to make myself more comfortable.
