Something More Interesting
Lin Xiao opened the Building Synthesizer.
Items in the private vault do not need to be retrieved; they can be directly added to the synthesizer.
He first put in the thick stack of design drawings, and then expertly added in the various prepared materials one by one.
The last item was the Spirit Dike Turtle Shell, worth 100,000 Spirit Stone.
Once all materials have been added, the system begins the actual synthesis process.
[In progress, please wait]
Perhaps due to the upgrade, Lin Xiao noticed that there was now a progress bar on the synthesis panel in front of him.
The progress bar indicates that the synthesis is expected to take another twelve hours.
This was the first time the synthesis function had taken so long, which surprised Lin Xiao, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.
After all, this time they're synthesizing an entire city, and it contains so many things.
Seeing that he had stopped moving, Mo Yuanjiao asked in a low voice:
"Sect Leader, are you done?"
"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded. "Now we just need to wait. It will take six hours. You go and cultivate first. I'll go and check on the preparations for tomorrow's annual meeting."
--
Going back six or seven days.
The sects and royal families on the invitation list for the Lingxian Sect Sect's annual meeting have all received invitations.
--Golden Mandarin Duck Kingdom, Azure Lotus Sect.
Jiang Sisi was summoned to the sect's main hall, feeling quite puzzled. She was preparing for the sect's allocation of pills for next year and had been spending a lot of time in the alchemy room recently.
"Sect Leader, why did you summon me here?" she asked, looking at the Sect Leader Qiu Junsong, who sat at the head of the table.
Qiu Junsong had white hair and beard, and wore a loose, moon-white Daoist robe, giving him the appearance of a venerable and otherworldly immortal.
He handed the invitation he had just received at the mountain gate to Jiang Sisi.
"Is this Lingxian Sect the one you encountered in the Execution Stone Mine when you participated in the alliance's expedition a couple of years ago?"
Jiang Sisi reached out and took the invitation. Seeing that the address was within the territory of the Pusi Kingdom, she thought for a moment and nodded.
"The Li Clan of the Pusi Kingdom seems to have a good relationship with this sect; there shouldn't be another Lingxian Sect."
She then saw the invitation details and found them quite intriguing.
"They invited our Azure Lotus Sect to attend their sect's annual meeting?"
Qiu Junsong nodded:
"I have no idea what this so-called annual meeting is all about, or what the Lingxian Sect is all about. The Li Clan's explanation was vague, and you seem to know nothing about it either."
Feeling a little embarrassed by what she was told, Jiang Sisi handed the invitation back.
"Sect Leader, are you planning to go?"
Qiu Junsong took back the invitation, looked at it for a moment, and said to her:
"It's been too long since I left the mountain gate. It's good to go out for a stroll. Besides, it's been a long time since I've seen that old fellow Li Zhanying."
"This invitation says that our Azure Lotus Sect can bring five people. Go and discuss with the other elders who is willing to go with us and who is willing to stay behind."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Jiang Sisi bowed and withdrew.
--Tuiyi Kingdom, Heavenly Heart Sect.
"Sect Leader! An invitation has been sent by the Li Clan of the Pusi Kingdom!"
The patriarch of the Heavenly Heart Sect, Venerable Zhiyu, was meditating in his cave abode when he heard a report from his subordinates, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Their Heavenly Heart Sect and the Li Imperial Clan of the Pusi Kingdom have barely contacted each other in a hundred years, so why are they suddenly sending out an invitation?
"Bring it here."
The servant placed the invitation at the entrance of the cave abode, and then the invitation was instantly sucked into the cave abode.
Venerable Zhiyu read through the invitation from beginning to end.
Lingxian Sect?
He thought for a while before remembering the Sect Master Lin had been disguised as a little devil in Huanyou Nation.
Why is the invitation from the Lingxian Sect being delivered by the Li Clan?
However, he always acted unilaterally within the sect and rarely consulted with the elders below him, so he currently had no one to talk to.
"Send someone to find out which other sects have received invitations and then report back," he instructed the attendant outside the cave abode.
"Yes," the attendant replied.
After thinking for Venerable Zhiyu put the invitation aside and continued his previous cultivation.
Compared to this insignificant annual meeting of a small sect, breaking through his own cultivation realm is more important. He has been at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage for many years and is only one step away from the Spirit Transformation stage.
Thinking of this, Venerable Zhiyu's eyes flickered.
The day he reaches the Spirit Transformation will be the day their Heavenly Heart Sect unifies the Mortal Realm!
--The Juhui Kingdom, the Crimson Firmament Sect.
"Sect Master! Sect Master! Wait for me!"
A woman dressed in red was running up the steps in front of the sect's main hall, carrying a large pile of gift boxes, chasing after the person in front of her.
A vibrant red figure strode ahead of her toward the sect's main hall, completely ignoring her words that told her to wait, and instead laughed at the woman without turning her head.
"Xiao Lan'er, I've been telling you to practice diligently all the time, but you never listen. Now you know to make me wait for you."
The woman called Xiao Lan'er was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. She held up the pile of gift boxes in her hand, about to complain, "Then if you don't make me spend so much time preparing gifts for your beauties, I'll go cultivate." But before she could finish speaking, a disciple on duty at the mountain gate came to report.
An invitation was sent by the Li Imperial Clan of the Pusi Kingdom.
The sect leader of the Crimson Firmament Sect, Venerable Xunfang, finally stopped deliberately dangling Xiao Lan'er and turned around. With a wave of his hand, the invitation that was originally in the hands of the disciple on duty floated lightly into his hand.
"Lingxian Sect..." After reading the invitation, a playful smile appeared on his lips. "Indeed, quite interesting."
Xiao Lan'er finally caught up with him. Seeing his rather smug smile, she pouted, but her eyes couldn't resist glancing curiously at the contents of the invitation.
"Where is this Lingxian Sect? I've never heard of it before."
Venerable Xunfang glanced at the top of her head, which she was trying to peek at, and asked her with a smile:
"Xiao Lan'er, would you like to go out with me in a couple of days?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lan'er rolled her eyes at her and gestured to the gift in her hand, saying:
"Who will bring you these things when I go out?"
Her master is good in every way, except he loves to flirt and has a lot of female confidantes outside. He has to prepare gifts for them during holidays and festivals, and they have to be original and not repetitive.
As the sect leader's attendant, she was extremely busy.
Venerable Xunfang waved his hand and moved the pile of gift boxes in front of the disciple on duty who had come to report.
"Take these back and share them with the other disciples. Tell them they are New Year's gifts from your sect master."
Then he turned to Xiao Lan'er and smiled:
"See, that's good now."
"You!" Xiao Lan'er was furious when she saw him casually dispose of the pile of gifts she had painstakingly prepared. He didn't even care about basic respect for the sect leader, and she was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"If you ask me to prepare something else later, I won't be responsible!"
Venerable Xunfang glanced at the pile of gift boxes, then looked up at the clear blue sky.
"No need, something much more interesting has come along."
