Establishment of the Base Successful
"I never expected to encounter both the Sun Protection and the Plague Protection. 💜🍫 ➅9ѕᕼᵘχ.Ć๏м ♞♨" Lin Yunji couldn't help but look up and gaze deeply at the old patriarch.
This village is truly mysterious.
"Back in my grandfather's time, not long after we moved here, a terrible plague broke out, killing so many people. The protection from the plague was something my grandfather went to great lengths to obtain."
"Currently, this is the only protection available in the village..."
"Mm." Lin Yunji.
Then, after thinking about it, he decided not to change the protection of the village.
"You should all drip your blood onto this stone tablet, so that next time you enter the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, or if you don't leave from here, you can come directly here," Lin Yunji to the Venerables.
"Yes." All the dignitaries nodded in agreement.
"In that case, if we encounter something too dangerous in the wild and are trapped there, we can leave the Vast Blue Illusory Realm directly and re-enter, appearing directly in the village," said Immortal Venerable Hongluo to Lin Yunji.
"That's right, exactly." Lin Yunji smiled slightly and nodded in response, "Not only that, but coming directly here from now on will save a lot of time, eliminating the need to spend time on the road."
The monks then, just as Lin Yunji had done, cut their fingers and dripped their blood onto the stone tablet.
Thus, he became bound to this stronghold. At this very moment, Lin Yunji thought for a moment and changed the name of Dashi Big Stone Town to Primordial Expanse Town.
"Elder Chief, I've changed the name of the village. Please don't blame me," Lin Yunji said to the elder chief.
"It's alright," the old patriarch said, not minding at all.
"Since we hadn't established a base yet, my plan was to first help everyone raise their cultivation to the second Universe Level."
"You can go up to the nearest major strongholds and join them, then accumulate some money to buy many Illusory Realm Spirit Pearl," Lin Yunji explained to the Venerables.
"However, now that we've established our own base, we no longer need to rely on other bases. Our primary task now is to establish our base properly, especially the trading post."
"Trading point?" Emperor Venerable Wuxuan did not understand.
"This is one of the special buildings in the base," Lin Yunji explained. "Once this is built, we'll be able to trade with other people in this world."
"Do you mean it's like that in the Divine Net?!" The Venerables immediately asked after realizing this.
"That's right." Lin Yunji nodded with a smile. Then Lin Yunji looked at the old patriarch. "Old patriarch, you can issue the mission now."
The old clan chief nodded in agreement. "I can currently issue a total of four tasks per day."
"I'm now posting the first one. Please go and collect wood and stone to build a trading area."
The second announcement was that our village's food reserves were running low, and we asked everyone to find and collect some food to store.
The third point is that there isn't much fresh water in the village, so please find some fresh water resources.
The fourth concern is that the village doesn't have looms; please find a way to make some.
As soon as the old patriarch finished speaking, these voices immediately echoed in Lin Yunji and the others' minds.
"Alright, everyone should have received their tasks by now. Elder Chief, please rest assured, we will complete them one by one. However, we would also like to ask the other villagers to help us craft some equipment," Lin Yunji to the Elder Chief.
"Of course," the old patriarch nodded and immediately agreed.
The native inhabitants of the Vast Blue Illusory Realm possess a very important ability: they can assist in production, such as manufacturing equipment.
Just like the clothes Lin Yunji and the others are wearing now, each piece has a corresponding defensive capability.
For example, the clothes Lin Yunji wearing had some physical defense and some Law Technique defense.
Although Lin Yunji can also craft, the equipment they produce has very low attributes.
But the natives here don't suffer; the equipment they create has extremely high stats.
"Of course." The old patriarch agreed without hesitation.
Then the old clan chief immediately called out the villagers and brought out all the tools.
Items like axes, knives, spears, rattan armor, and wooden shields were almost all made of stone.
The Saint Venerable Daweide and the others glanced at these items, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.
However, they were immediately shocked after they got their hands on these tools, because the properties of these tools were far superior to the treasures they carried with them.
Lin Yunji took a wooden shield in his hand and examined it carefully. Its main function was to increase physical defense by 10 and Law Technique defense by 3.
He clenched his fist and punched the wooden shield hard. With a bang, the wooden shield was perfectly fine, without any problems.
You have to understand, he must have used a lot of force just now, but the wooden shield didn't break.
Lin Yunji then reached out and lightly tugged at his robe, and with a tearing sound, his precious robe was ripped apart, just like a withered leaf falling from the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, all the Venerable Ones were greatly surprised.
Because of the rules of the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, some things are truly baffling.
For example, those powerful Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure that are considered very powerful outside are actually inferior to these seemingly outdated things here.
After taking the tools, Lin Yunji distributed the tasks to the other Venerables.
"Daweide and Fellow Wuxuan, you two can come with me to cut down trees. Fellow Daoist Huorong, you and the other two go and find some stones. Fellow Hongluo and the other fellow Daoists, you go and collect some fresh water. As for the water source, you can ask the old clan chief."
"We will obey your command." All the Venerables nodded in agreement.
After the tasks were assigned, the other deities dispersed to do their own things.
Lin Yunji, accompanied by two fellow Daoists and carrying stone axes, went to the outskirts of the village, where there was a grove of trees.
"After completing these tasks, can we really obtain energy just like killing wild creatures?" Emperor Venerable Wuxuan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course," Lin Yunji said.
"It feels like the tasks the old patriarch issued are making us work as laborers for these natives," Emperor Venerable Wuxuan said with a wry smile.
He originally wanted to say that they had become slaves, but then he thought that was too harsh a word, so he changed his words to "working".
Lin Yunji smiled and said, "That's a really thoughtful description. It does sound a bit like working for the natives. But there's nothing we can do about it; these are the rules set by the powerful beings who created this world."
"Actually, it doesn't matter what happens during the work. As long as the power is increased in the end, that's what matters," said the Saint Venerable Daweide.
"That's indeed the case." Emperor Venerable Wuxuan thought for a moment and agreed.
"I'm just a little unaccustomed to it." Emperor Venerable Wuxuan sighed deeply. "How can I, Emperor Venerable Wuxuan, be considered a Supreme being in the Hongmeng World, with countless people worshipping me? Yet now I have to chop wood and do chores for some ordinary mortals here."
"This is a new experience, I guess," Lin Yunji joked.
"Not at all." Emperor Venerable Wuxuan waved his hand. "It was just a sigh. I think the great power who created this world is truly bizarre."
"I'm afraid this one is more like a mischievous child. He might be deliberately trying to toy with us." The Saint Venerable Daweide said, "I do find the rules of this world rather interesting."
After reaching the outside of the village, they came to a grove of trees. Lin Yunji stood on the outermost edge, raised their tools, and began to cut down some of the thicker trees.
