Nature Platform

Since the sect's treasury can be placed directly within the mountainside, forming a hidden, enchanted space, could his secluded cultivation location be similarly designed?

In this way, his secluded retreat would be exceptionally hidden and quiet, and unlikely to be disturbed.

Moreover, this place might be developed into a secluded cultivation location for their sect in the future, where everyone can come here for seclusion.

With that in mind, Lin Xiao decided to build his seclusion place inside the mountainside.

However, he thought that since the goal was to create a secluded cultivation place, it certainly couldn't be built like the buildings outside, which could be made with ordinary soil and wood with a few Spirit Stone.

He might as well just go into seclusion at Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

However, he currently has no suitable building materials in his private treasury.

The only suitable one is that pile of Cold-Concentrating Jade that has been used to build the house.

So Lin Xiao had no choice but to take out another small house built of ordinary Cold-Concentrating Jade and put it into the Building Synthesizer.

Fortunately, he had also dug up many houses made of ordinary Cold-Concentrating Jade, otherwise he would be heartbroken to use them now.

He then threw in another five hundred Spirit Stone.

After all, the secluded cultivation grounds and the sect's storerooms serve different functions. The sect's storerooms are simply places to store items, and they only need to have enough space and a certain degree of preservation.

Because he intended to use this for cultivation, Lin Xiao added more Spirit Stone to prevent the synthesizer from producing something with incomplete functions.

After everything was in place, Lin Xiao racked his brains for a long time to come up with his idea for building a secluded cultivation place before finally choosing to start the synthesis.

After waiting for a while, the Building Synthesizer finally indicated that the synthesis was successful.

The next moment, a floating cave-like place appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

Despite being called a cave, the entire cave was completely white, except for the area directly in front of it.

Directly ahead was a small, still pool. The water in this pool didn't look like ordinary water; it was shimmering and sparkling with the light of stars.

In the very center of the still pool is a white, jade-like stone platform, just large enough for one person to sit on.

A small stream flows gently into the still pool, blending seamlessly with its tranquil waters.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, and finally came to the back of the small hill where Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling was located.

The houses he built for everyone before were all in front; the area behind this little hill is still empty.

The reason Lin Xiao chose to place his seclusion here was simply because it was close to the Spirit Vein.

After all, the Spirit Vein is located in the small mountain spring at the foot of Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

The high-grade Cold-Concentrating Jade he dug up before seemed to have a remarkable ability to gather spiritual energy, something Senior Liao had mentioned before?

Moreover, if it is combined with Spirit Vein, it can improve the grade of the Spirit Vein over time!

Their sect's Spirit Vein is only First-Tier Spirit Vein now, yet it has already improved their Spiritual Qi environment so much. If it were to be upgraded to a higher tier, wouldn't that be...?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt a surge of excitement.

However, the secluded training ground is still floating in front of him, and it hasn't been set up yet.

He needs to find a place to put this thing first.

So he found a spot on the lower part of the back mountain, closest to the small spring, and planned to place it there.

However, when Lin Xiao was preparing to place them, he suddenly noticed that the plants here seemed to be growing a little too well.

The surrounding soil was also dark and looked very fertile.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao realized that perhaps this was all thanks to the Spirit Vein.

Perhaps their sect will flourish even more in the future thanks to the nourishment of the Spirit Vein.

However, it's still early in the season, First-Tier Spirit Vein won't drastically change the appearance of this place all at once.

While pondering these random thoughts, he placed the secluded cultivation location in the spot he had just chosen.

The next moment, a small, inconspicuous white jade stone appeared on the mountain wall that was originally covered with lush vegetation.

Lin Xiao knew that this was the entrance to the secluded training ground.

So he reached out and gently touched the white jade.

He then stepped into the mountainside.

Once inside, Lin Xiao found that it was exactly the same as what he had seen before.

He walked to the still pool, then squatted down and reached out to touch the water, which resembled stars.

But he found that his hand hadn't touched anything.

Lin Xiao stood up, somewhat disappointed.

I don't know if this pool of water is an illusion, or if it's just something I can't touch.

He preferred the latter.

His gaze shifted and he saw the stone platform in the very center.

This should be where he meditates during his seclusion in the future.

After looking around and finding nothing else of interest, Lin Xiao retreated to the entrance and left.

After emerging, Lin Xiao looked back at the white jade stones on the mountainside, lost in thought.

He should give this place a name.

Otherwise, constantly calling it a "seclusion place" seems a bit informal.

Lin Xiao immediately brainstormed for a while.

After a moment, he said to the white jade:

From now on, I'll call you Nature Platform!

The white jade stone did not elicit any response from him.

Having chosen a name, Lin Xiao went to the small mountain spring.

Then he took out the white house built of high-grade Cold-Concentrating Jade from his private treasury.

He thought for a moment and then placed it directly next to the small spring.

Unexpectedly, the moment the Cold-Concentrating Jade landed, the ground beside the small spring was instantly covered in white frost.

The Cold-Concentrating Jade was already surrounded by a ring of ice.

However, perhaps because of the presence of Spirit Vein, the spring water in the small mountain spring is still flowing normally.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment.

After checking the area of ice and frost around us, we felt it was alright; it didn't affect anyone's normal activity area.

So he gave up his plan to put the Cold-Concentrating Jade away again.

He was quite at ease leaving this high-grade Cold-Concentrating Jade so casually here.

Not to mention that anyone appearing in their sect must first pass the Heart-Questioning Road and then be a member of their sect before they can enter.

This Cold-Concentrating Jade is incredibly solid, and such a large, complete piece requires a storage space with an extremely large opening to house it.

He wasn't too worried about any problems arising from leaving the Cold-Concentrating Jade here.

So after placing it, Lin Xiao observed it for a while, and after confirming that the Cold-Concentrating Jade shouldn't turn their sect into a frozen wasteland, he left.

He needs to go and have a chat with Jiang Youfu.

During this period, he hasn't had much of a chance to have a proper talk with his good brother.

It wasn't noon yet, and there was still quite a while before everyone finished their practice.

Lin Xiao quietly went in and carried Jiang Youfu, who was meditating, out.
