Chapter 309 White Tower
Rebuilding Quanyong Cottage is not an easy task.
It’s not that the technology is difficult.
The difficulty lies in the lack of materials.
When he was first separated from his family, Wei Wenxin only knew how to build a simple shed.
After much trouble and even cheating with the equipment refining skills, they have only built the following bamboo buildings that have been complained about endlessly and have been eaten by insects after only a hundred years.
Fortunately, she learned from her mistakes, picked up the architectural notes that her junior sister brought back from the mortal world, and devoted herself to studying them for several years. After practicing in the Peach Blossom Land in the mortal world, she has become quite skilled in this craft.
Therefore, from a technical point of view, it was not difficult for her to rebuild a new house.
The reason why she said that the materials were not enough was mainly because she planned to complete the task in one go and build a large building complex to live in directly until she ascended.
In addition to living there yourself, you also have to reserve accommodation for your disciples and grandchildren before they have babies.
As a result, there is not enough material on the peak.
This arrangement was not because she was eager to accept a disciple, but because her eldest disciple had already established a karmic relationship with her. When Asan was reincarnated and became a person with spiritual roots, it would be the day for her to take him back.
After some calculations, it was found that Asan was reborn to a very old age and is still alive.
When can I be reborn as a person with spiritual roots?
Maybe in the next life, maybe in the next life.
Wei Wenxin actually had no idea either.
But to prepare, you naturally have to make preparations in advance.
You can't bring the person back without even preparing a place for him to live, right?
Another thing is, as long as the opportunity for a breakthrough is not difficult, she will soon advance to the Divine Transformation stage. Then, according to the sect's rules, she can accept disciples.
Enjoying the resources of the sect from a young age, and after growing up, it is the obligation to take in disciples and pass on one's skills.
After someone advances to a higher level, they may not accept any disciples for many years, so the elders in the sect will come to them one by one to do work for them.
Is it a problem of thought? Do you dislike creatures like apprentices?
Or do you simply find it too troublesome to take care of a child and don't want to adopt one?
Or maybe I just haven't met the right one? Do I need to choose more?
No matter where the problem lies, the sect will solve it for you.
For the prosperity of the sect, these are all things that must be done, and Wei Wenxin has no intention of escaping his responsibility.
In this case, preparing accommodation in advance can avoid the dilemma of expanding the house every time you take in an apprentice, which leads to uneven distribution of benefits.
In recent generations of her lineage, basically every elder only accepted four apprentices, and this was also her plan.
So she planned to build four small courtyards around the main courtyard.
Once the house is built, there is no need to decorate it, leaving it up to them to create freely.
As a result, the original foundation is not big enough.
Wei Wenxin had just become independent. Even though she had cultivated the spiritual bamboos and trees on Lingsi Peak with great care, the precious ones were still relatively rare. She wanted to expand the building area and had no shortage of space.
However, building a house also requires consideration of geological conditions and layout, so she needs to take a closer look before deciding.
Having inherited the legacy of the Fu Bi Jing and having the knowledge of finding veins and prospecting for minerals, she had to consider much more when building the house.
She planned to use the terrain and buildings to set up a natural formation.
The natural formation does not consume spiritual materials, nor does it require spiritual stones to drive it. Its power depends entirely on her ability.
This is a big project and she needs to think about it carefully.
After seeing her come back, she didn't go into the house, but flew back and forth around the bamboo forest. Ling Cang was already in a bad mood, and he felt even more annoyed when he saw this. He endured it for two whole days, but finally couldn't bear his curiosity and flew over to ask her what she was doing.
Wei Wenxin was very focused on her work. She knew that it was in a bad mood and had no intention of asking it to help with the work, but since it asked, she would not hide it.
"This bamboo building has been eaten by insects. I plan to make some plans and rebuild it while I have some free time."
Ling Cang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start, when he heard Wei Wenxin say:
"Ling Cang, now that you have reached a higher level of cultivation, we live too close to each other, which is not good for each other's cultivation. I will take advantage of this opportunity to rebuild a house for you that you like. How about that?"
No matter how close the relationship between high-level monks is, they will not live too close to each other, because during daily practice, there is only so much spiritual energy in an area. If they live too close, there will be competition, which will greatly affect the efficiency of practice.
When a disciple's cultivation level reaches a high level, he will be separated to set up his own residence. When the spiritual beasts and birds have a high level of cultivation, they will also be arranged to live in separate residences.
For example, Dajiang, Qingfeng, and Bai Suxin, they all have their own territories, and as their cultivation levels increase, their territories become larger and larger.
If Ling Cang had not just formed a bond with her and needed to cultivate goodwill and tacit understanding, they would have had to live separately given Ling Cang's early Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
Ling Cang originally wanted to say this, but Wei Wenxin did not take the initiative to bring it up. It was not sure whether it could get such preferential treatment, so it did not dare to speak up.
Seeing that she took the initiative to talk about it, Ling Cang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said the architectural style she wanted:
"I want a tall tower with a bowl-shaped top. I want to build a comfortable nest that doesn't block the view. I'll arrange the lower floors later."
Wei Wenxin didn't care how it planned to be arranged, and nodded directly: "How many floors would be better?"
Knowing that she was feeling guilty and wanted to show her kindness, Ling Cang didn't want her to feel bad, so he openly raised various requests.
"It has to be at least the eighth floor. If you want to be rich, you have to be at least eight. The eighth floor is the best. Considering the issue of cultivation, I want to live on the top of the mountain."
The top of Lingsi Peak is not very steep, nor is it like Lingyun Peak, where there is a thick ice cover on the top that never melts all year round. So if Lingcang wants to live on the top of the mountain, there is no problem at all.
All creatures with wings, whether they are spiritual birds or beasts, like to live in high places. However, she had not considered it carefully before and let Ling Cang live with her in the bamboo forest for so many years.
Wei Wenxin nodded again.
"Do you like the style and material?"
Now Ling Cang didn't know either.
Because Wei Wenxin went out and came back saying that he wanted to rebuild the cave, Ling Cang just received the news. It was already very difficult for him to have the idea of building a tower, and he really hadn't thought about the details yet.
Wei Wenxin didn't push it. "Then you take your time to think about it. I'll go collect the materials first and fix it for you later."
Ling Cang nodded, and suddenly he felt full of energy.
My mind was so preoccupied with building the cave that I didn't have any extra time to feel sad about what had happened.
According to Wei Wenxin's stingy personality, she would not spend spirit stones to buy something if she could get it for free. Besides, she was really not rich now, so she secluded herself for half a month and figured out a new type of building material.
Take the clay for firing porcelain, mix it with spirit beast bone powder, spirit stone mine residue picked up from the spirit stone processing workshop, and slag from the weapon refining peak, and use heavenly fire to burn it into various mortise and tenon components. During the firing process, use weapon refining techniques to leave Taoist patterns on the inside and outside of the components.
"It doesn't use a single nail or a drop of glue. It's so stable that it can withstand thunder and lightning."
In just one month, an eight-story white pagoda was erected on the top of Lingsi Peak.
Although it is called a tower, its shape is a little different because it has no top.
The top is like a huge bowl, with a formation set up on it, so no matter wind or rain, it cannot be affected.
Each of the seven floors below has large windows, and each window is equipped with a carved window. Through the open windows, you can see the floor inside without any gaps.
Not only the floor, but the entire white tower has no cracks, which reminds people of the white tower of the Criminal Law Hall on the other side of the Cliff of Repentance.
But that white tower is part of the immortal weapon.
This white tower is made of various cheap materials.
The Criminal Law Hall can be sent out to participate in the war, but Lingcang’s White Tower is only used as a residence, so it only needs to be sturdy.
But Wei Wenxin is really amazing. This white tower is not only sturdy, but also has a constant temperature and humidity, and has its own protective array. It is not afraid of wind, rain, snakes, insects, rats or ants. For Bai Ze, who likes to use soft silk grass to make his nest, it is really comfortable!
"Let's go up and have a look!"
When Ling Cang heard Wei Wenxin's call, he was a little slow to react!
It has never been built like this!
Just now it was standing in mid-air, watching a bunch of components fly up automatically and then assemble together. In just half an hour, an eight-story white tower with a top floor diameter of five meters was built right in front of it!
Ling Cang returned to its original form, and its length was more than three meters. One could sleep inside and even roll around comfortably!
There was no need for Wei Wenxin to shout a second time. It immediately landed on the top of the white tower, took out the soft silk grass it had prepared long ago, quickly made a nest, and started rolling around.
Seeing that it was happy, Wei Wenxin also started laughing.
Because of her thoughtfulness, the atmosphere between the man and the beast eased a lot.
Wei Wenxin was just thinking about how to improve the spirit beast bag when he saw his junior fellow apprentice running up from the foot of the mountain in a hurry.
When he got closer, he immediately smiled with his big white teeth, and without taking a rest, he used his spiritual power to condense an umbrella and motioned for her to look:
"Big sister, look! I finally mastered this move!"
Knowing that she had woken up, he was not in a hurry to see her after such a long time. Instead, he practiced the art of turning spiritual energy into an umbrella before coming. Wei Wenxin snorted twice and scattered a handful of bamboo leaves on the umbrella. The bamboo leaves were instantly shattered by the sharp golden spiritual energy.
Then a cloud of rain gathered above his head. The raindrops fell in large drops, but turned into a puff of mist when they got close to the umbrella.
Wei Wenxin looked disdainful and conjured up an exquisite umbrella. The sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella was particularly pleasant:
"You have no artistic conception left from walking in the rain. What is there to be proud of? Strengthen your spiritual awareness and go!"
Yang Xingchen's shoulders immediately drooped, and the umbrella in his hand turned into a ball of spiritual energy in the blink of an eye and dissipated completely.
When I turned around, I saw a white tower on the top of the mountain, and several more "scars" in the bamboo forest on the mountainside. I couldn't help but widen my eyes:
"Big sister, are you going to repair the house?"
This time, Wei Wenxin didn't even make a sound. She simply grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the foot of the mountain.
It would be fine if the two junior sisters were not at home, but this kid is wandering around all day. The peak is just next door, but he hasn't come to visit for such a long time.
It's just a waste of time to support him!
Yang Xingchen steadied his feet and when he looked up he saw a huge rock with the words "Lingsi Peak" engraved on it standing in front of him. He touched his head and was a little confused for a moment.
What happened, Senior Sister?
Why are you so angry for no reason?
The day before yesterday, my younger brother took a long nap and couldn’t sleep at night. While my sister was asleep, he ran to the study to review the ancient poems he had just learned. He dozed off while reciting and flipping through the book. I thought he was so cute, so I recorded a video of him.
Yesterday, when I picked up my sister from school, they were reciting poems as they walked. I remembered this and showed the video to my sister. She was very unconvinced at the time and recited many poems in a row, saying that she knew more than her brother. I said that was because her brother was younger. Her brother was so hardworking and he would surpass her sooner or later.
My sister didn’t say anything at that time. But she got up early this morning and started reviewing the books in the living room. She was not satisfied with just being able to recite and recognize the words, so she went to find her grandmother to explain to her what each sentence meant.
I was in a daze and didn’t want to get up.
My younger brother immediately turned over and sat up, quickly ran to the living room, and joined in without wanting to be outdone.
On the way to the kindergarten, I told my sister, "Look, as long as you study, your younger brother will always be watching you. You can only make full use of your time at school to surpass him! Because he has to go out to play every day, this is your good opportunity."
My sister rushed into the kindergarten ambitiously, wondering if she would run and challenge her teacher.
When I got home, I secretly told my brother about my sister's plan to overtake me.
My younger brother immediately ran into the study and went into the bookcase to look for his book.
Oh my god, it’s so fun.
I remember that I always praised the King of Rolls in front of the children.
The children immediately pricked up their ears and vowed to be as good as their father. The king of examination papers immediately straightened his back and studied various examination papers to maintain his level.
I feel like I am suitable to change my career and become a sales champion. Haha!
