Disciples' Dormitories

He was about to leave when he suddenly realized that he hadn't yet visited the Alchemy Chamber.

Everyone is still cultivating; this isn't the main hall of a sect, so it's not that significant. Shouldn't we wait for everyone to join us?

Let him take a look first!

So Lin Xiao decisively reached out and pushed open the door, then went inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is the Chongming Cauldron a type of ancient Chinese cauldron) in the very center of the room.

There are several tall medicine cabinets on both the left and right sides.

Behind the Chongming Cauldron, there was a long table, which Lin Xiao guessed was where medicinal herbs to be used were placed.

However, despite the abundance of items in the Alchemy Chamber, the interior still appeared quite spacious and bright.

He walked up to the Chongming Cauldron and examined it closely.

The Chongming Cauldron is entirely black, yet within this inky blackness, layer upon layer of light continuously shines through.

The term "double brightness" refers to the continuous and undiminished light.

Lin Xiao looked down at the cauldron but did not find any trace of the Red Lotus Lava that he had previously placed in the synthesizer.

He thought for a moment, then lifted the lid of the cauldron.

Then he saw a layer of reddish glow emanating from the very bottom of the cauldron.

It looked like red-hot charcoal.

Lin Xiao reached out and felt a burning sensation.

Satisfied, he left the Alchemy Chamber with his hands behind his back.

Ignoring its unassuming exterior, he was quite satisfied with the Alchemy Chamber.

Next up is the disciples' dormitory.

Speaking of the disciples' dormitory, Lin Xiao recalled that among his disciples, there seemed to be a non-human little demon chicken.

It seems he also has a "Demon Beast Cultivation Facility Synthesis Recipe" in his private stash.

Lin Xiao opened his private vault and checked; sure enough, it was there.

However, after thinking for a moment, he decided not to build the Demon Beast training ground for the time being.

After all, so far, the entire sect only has one demon, Xiaoluan. It's not necessary to have a separate cultivation place. Besides, judging from Xiaoluan's lazy appearance, Lin Xiao felt that building a separate cultivation place for it would be too wasteful.

No wonder they said a Spirit Stone could be absorbed for three months. It turns out that Spirit Stone aren't actually that durable; they're just lazy!

So Lin Xiao planned to build a chicken coop for it once the disciples' dormitories were completed.

However, although it's called a dormitory, Lin Xiao didn't actually plan to build two large single rooms so that everyone could sleep in one room.

Personal privacy is still very important, especially since they are now cultivators.

Therefore, Lin Xiao prepared a small room for each person to serve as their dormitory.

So he opened the Building Synthesizer and skillfully and quickly synthesized a room with an area of only about twenty square meters.

Finding a suitable spot on the hilltop, Lin Xiao used his Spiritual Power flying blade to slash horizontally across a certain area!

However, unlike cutting down trees, it was still somewhat difficult for his Spiritual Power blades to cut through the hard and solid mountain walls. He could only smooth out the outermost layer of soil, and the inner rocks were only slightly damaged, with a small area of less than one square meter missing.

Lin Xiao paused for a moment. It seemed that the effect of this Spiritual Power flying blade in cutting through the stone was still somewhat poor.

It's a pity he doesn't have any suitable sharp tools right now. If only he had a sword and some Swordsmanship.

It seems that weapon deployment also needs to be put on the agenda.

So Lin Xiao silently wrote this down in his mental notebook.

Then, using Spiritual Power blades, they began cutting into the mountainside, space by space, area by area.

Only after he cut a vertical notch in the spot he had just chosen did he place the back wall of the single room into the notch.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao followed the same pattern and built eleven more houses in the same way.

The relentless work of cutting through the mountainside drained him of all his Spiritual Power.

Nearly an hour later, he collapsed on the ground, utterly exhausted, looking at the eleven well-arranged houses standing on the hilltop with great satisfaction.

The sun was already setting in the west, and in less than an hour it would take over from the moon.

He did not continue construction.

One reason is that he has no Spiritual Power left in his entire body.

One reason is that there are only eleven people in the entire sect now, so building more houses would just leave them idle.

However, vacant houses deteriorate very quickly; houses need people to live in them to prevent them from falling apart.

As for Xiaoluan, it can just move into anyone's dormitory; it's just a matter of building a nest.

[Ding--The sect construction task [Sect facilities (4)] has been completed. The task reward has been sent to your private treasury. Please check your account.]

With both tasks completed, their rewards now lie in Lin Xiao's private vault, awaiting his inspection.

Lin Xiao opened the private vault with great anticipation.

Then he noticed several extra items in the private vault.

"Complete Collection of Basic Pill Recipes" x1, Two Aspects Life and Death Formation x1.

Lin Xiao didn't check the quality, he looked at the quantity first, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with the amount of the reward for this task.

A quick glance revealed that the number of Spirit Stone had increased from 152 to 352, meaning the two tasks rewarded a total of two hundred Spirit Stone.

Lin Xiao was satisfied.

But then, in a flash, he seemed to notice that the numbers were different in one place.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was actually First-Tier Spirit Vein Fragment!

The number has clearly increased from two to three!

Doesn't that mean he can summon Spirit Vein?

Lin Xiao was extremely excited; this was their sect's first Spirit Vein!

How can a sect's headquarters without Spirit Vein be considered a place for cultivation?

Lin Xiao immediately disregarded the "Complete Collection of Basic Pill Recipes" and the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, and decisively took out the three First-Tier Spirit Vein Fragment.

The moment he removed the fragment, a notification popped up in his mind:

[Ding--Congratulations, host, you have successfully collected three First-Tier Spirit Vein Fragment. Do you wish to synthesize First-Tier Spirit Vein now?]

Lin Xiao immediately selected "yes".

[First-Tier Spirit Vein successfully synthesized. Place it now?]

He thought about it for a moment, but still didn't choose to place it now. He chose "no" and put the First-Tier Spirit Vein back into his private treasury.

The Spirit Vein placed in the private treasury looked like a small ball emitting a soft glow.

The reason Lin Xiao didn't choose to place it now is because he believes that Spirit Vein should be placed in a carefully chosen location, unlike other things that can be placed too casually.

He plans to visit Senior Liao tomorrow to subtly inquire about any theories regarding Spirit Vein before making a decision.

Lin Xiao finally turned his attention back to the two new mission rewards.

The first one, "Complete Collection of Basic Pill Recipes," needs no introduction; you can tell what it is just from the name.

The other is the Two Instruments Life and Death Formation Disk.

Lin Xiao used the identification function directly on it.

[The Two Instruments Life and Death Formation Disk, Earth Rank array plate, possesses immense destructive power. Specific details can be observed during actual use. This array plate can be placed and used directly. During placement, the user must use their own Spiritual Power to connect the nodes on the array plate. After connection, 100 Spirit Stone are required.]

Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised; this was actually an attack formation plate!
