Three Sets of Plans

However, the messenger encountered some minor problems on his way to the Clear River Sect.

Because the messenger had never been to the Clear River Sect and didn't know the way, he got lost in the desolate mountains and wilderness for several days, and it was getting late.

However, this gave Tong Jialiang's uncle and aunt time to pack their luggage.

In the cave abode of the Clear River Sect, Han Shangyi fell into deep thought as he read the letter from his daughter.

It wasn't that he was surprised that his own daughter wanted him to befriend or even attach himself to other sects—a treacherous act—he was used to it anyway.

The main reason was that Han Shangyi felt like he had opened the door to a new world after reading Han Weishu's letter.

It's unbelievable that some sects even allow ordinary disciples to use Spirit Gathering Formation for cultivation in their Cultivation Hall halls?

Moreover, sect elders give lectures to the disciples every day?

The monthly stipend of an ordinary disciple is ten times that of an elite disciple of the Clear River Sect every year?!

The sect even provides a Spiritual Qi Spirit Cuisine dinner every day?!

There's also a cultivation technique that allowed Han Weishu, with her Five Spirit Roots, to break through from the Qi Refining First Layer to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer in just a few months...

Looking at the rest of the post, Han Weishu specifically reminded him not to tell anyone, and Han Shangyi fell into deep thought.

Do such sects truly exist in the Mortal Realm?

Why doesn't he believe it?

But even if Han Weishu could deceive him about other things, she couldn't fake her cultivation level. He would be able to tell the difference at a glance once he went to see her.

If this sect truly possesses the ability to enable a cultivator with Five Spirit Roots to break through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer in just a few months, then the other situations seem less incredible.

Could it be that...

Han Shangyi seemed to remember something and immediately took out his sect leader's seal.

Upon receiving Qin Jianghe's letter, the Li Imperial Clan acted swiftly, immediately summoning senior craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to begin designing blueprints.

To be more thorough, Li Zhouxuan also asked Liu Yunan for a detailed map of the terrain around Xiushui Village.

Originally, Li Zhouxuan only wanted them to produce a map, marking the terrain changes and land conditions of each place.

Unexpectedly, the Lingxian Sect sent him a miniature array in return.

This formation has no other function than to recreate the city-building area they need on a one-to-one scale. Moreover, the size of this 3D model can be adjusted at will, shrinking to the size of a palm. If needed, the realism of the formation can also be adjusted, allowing people entering the formation to even touch the trees and soil inside, and judge the local climate, humidity, and other terrain conditions.

Isn't this equivalent to conducting an on-site investigation?

However, it greatly facilitated the work of the officials in the Ministry of Works.

As a result, the design of the city's blueprints for the Trade Center progressed rapidly. With such convenient tools, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works were able to refine their designs even further.

Thanks to everyone's meticulous and efficient work, the design drawings were finally completed successfully a month later.

No, it shouldn't be called one serving; it's actually three servings.

However, they are actually a whole, with one main image and two sub-images.

The main map is the overall urban plan, while the other two sub-maps are somewhat special, representing the bold creativity of the craftsmen.

Because the blueprints were designed for the Lingxian Sect, the craftsmen set aside some of their preconceived notions and did some things that they thought were very bold but that immortals should be able to do.

The two maps are of different locations: one depicting a mountain city, and the other an underground city.

Both of these locations are part of the main city's structure, but due to their relative independence, additional drawings were prepared to explain and plan various details.

After studying the terrain around Xiushui Village, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works unanimously agreed that it was not advisable to make major changes to its original appearance, as they felt that the original appearance had particularly good feng shui.

Therefore, this blueprint was designed while retaining the original appearance.

The city was designed as a mountain city within the area, and because of its commanding position, its proximity to Xiushui Village (separated only by a Mountain Stream), and its central location within the city, it was designed as the core of the city.

Most of the offices and the city lord's residence were located on this mountain city.

The underground city was built because the emperor told them that the city needed to be able to accommodate a large number of people, including both tourists and settlers.

So the craftsmen came up with the idea of developing underground space within the existing area.

This would give Xiushui Village Xiushui Village more room for development, and the land there is quite suitable.

Moreover, this underground city has its own completely independent water supply and air circulation system.

In this way, if the Lingxian Sect deems it suitable, they can keep it; if they deem it unsuitable, they can ignore it for the time being.

Before handing the blueprints over to the Lingxian Sect Li Zhanying Li Zhouxuan them reviewed by Li Zhanying, the Li Clan Ancestor, who gave them his approval.

Soon, the Lingxian Sect received a thick stack of blueprints from the Li Imperial Clan.

Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe watched it, but they just watched for the spectacle.

There were many things inside that they were learning about for the first time; they realized that building a city required taking into account all sorts of factors.

As expected, building a city is different from building a village or town; it still requires the expertise of a professional.

After checking each page of the catalog provided by Li Zhouxuan and finding nothing missing, Liu Yunan handed the design drawings to Lin Xiao.

After preparing all the necessary formations for the Trade Center, Lin Xiao began cultivating day and night.

The only thing I'm concerned about lately is Senior Liao from Everbright Mountain has come out yet.

However, no news came from Everbright.

The system panel also showed that Senior Liao was in seclusion cultivating.

There didn't seem to be any problems, so Lin Xiao didn't intend to go in and disturb them.

The Law Treasure that the system gave to Sun Yigao was given to him by Lin Xiao at the celebration banquet on the day he advanced to the Nascent Soul.

At the time, it was the envy of many, after all, it was a unique Law Treasure that perfectly matched the "Original Essence Heart Sutra: Benevolent Heart Chapter!

Except for Jiang Youfu.

Lin Xiao also explained to them that this magic Law Treasure could only be created by someone who had made a breakthrough in their mental cultivation technique and formed their own unique lineage. If they wanted it, they would have to study the mental cultivation technique carefully and work hard.

Sect Master Lin seized every opportunity to encourage his disciples to cultivate.

Sun Yigao was quite fond of these three Law Treasure. For the next month, apart from refining the pills needed by the sect and attending classes, he spent the rest of his time in the library studying them.

Lin Xiao examined the blueprints carefully after receiving them.

They also discovered the design of the mountain city and the underground city.

I didn't expect the artisans from the imperial court to be so daring.

He had originally thought he would receive a meticulous and rigorous drawing, one that aimed for accuracy but never sought novelty.
