Insecticide Formation

On this side, Lin Xiao returned to the dirt mound behind the main sect hall.

Now that the materials were complete, he could finally begin synthesizing the Artifact Forging Hall and the Array Formation Hall!

Since Tietou was not around, he had to first store this dirt in his personal inventory, and then, upon opening the building synthesizer, toss it in according to the calculated amounts.

Thinking that artifact forging involved larger movements and would require more space, Lin Xiao put in extra dirt and wood.

After putting those two in, Lin Xiao added the Star-Moon Hammer and the Purple Gold Cauldron he had just bought from the store.

Next came the process of waiting for the synthesis.

But at this moment, the system suddenly popped up a prompt:

Does the currently synthesizing Artifact Forging Hall wish to share the Red Lotus Magma with the Alchemy Room as a fire source?

Seeing this message, Lin Xiao paused for a moment before decisively choosing yes.

The system's thoughtfulness was truly not just empty talk.

After a short while, the Artifact Forging Hall was ready.

Ding - Artifact Forging Hall synthesized successfully. Host, please choose a placement location.

A tall building, about a dozen square meters larger than the Talisman Crafting Room, appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao placed it next to the Talisman Crafting Room, leaving a gap of about five meters in between. He figured he could plant some flowers and grass there later to beautify the environment.

Congratulations to the Host for successfully building the Artifact Forging Hall. Sect construction task Sect Facilities 5 completed. The rewards have been issued to your personal inventory. Host, please check them carefully.

He didn't check the rewards immediately, but immediately went on to synthesize the Array Formation Hall as well.

In the same manner, he sequentially placed various materials into the building synthesizer.

A moment later, the system, not finding it troublesome at all, sounded another prompt:

Ding - Array Formation Hall synthesized successfully. Host, please choose a placement location.

The informal Lin Xiao didn't agonize over the location for long. Without a second thought, he placed the Array Formation Hall another five meters away from the Artifact Forging Hall, lining it up with the Artifact Forging Hall and the Talisman Crafting Room.

Thus, these three places for crafting talismans, forging artifacts, and setting up arrays faced the Alchemy Room on the opposite side, looking at each other from across the large open clearing behind the main sect hall.

Congratulations to the Host for successfully building the Array Formation Hall. Sect construction task Sect Facilities 6 completed. The rewards have been issued to your personal inventory. Host, please check them carefully.

However, in the next moment, the busy system notification sound rang out in Lin Xiao's mind once again:

Ding - Congratulations to the Host for preliminarily completing the basic facility construction of the sect. Now that the Host's sect possesses the learning and production venues corresponding to the four basic skills of the Alchemy Room, Talisman Crafting Room, Artifact Forging Hall, and Array Formation Hall, the corresponding technical talents are also indispensable. The development of a sect cannot do without the support of various technical talents.

Host, please cultivate professional talents for the sect, with at least one talent rated as Grade One for each technology.

Friendly reminder: The ratings are divided into a total of nine grades, from low to high, Grade One to Grade Nine.

Having finally completed three tasks with great difficulty, the highly dedicated system immediately arranged the next task for him.

Lin Xiao, who was no longer lacking in spirit stones, indicated that he didn't really want to do tasks right now.

He gave it a cursory glance and then closed the task window.

There was no time limit for the task anyway, so he could take his time.

He still had to hurry up and cultivate. There was a pile of seeds waiting to be planted in his personal inventory, and he still had to go down into the mine.

He was so busy.

Sigh, being the sect master of a newly founded sect was truly not easy.

Now that all three buildings were set up, Lin Xiao still didn't go to the cultivation room.

He opened his personal inventory to check the task rewards from earlier.

In the personal inventory, several more items had appeared.

Complete Guide to Basic Artifact Forging Techniques x1, Complete Guide to Basic Array Carving x1, Black Iron 100 kilograms, Heaven-rank High-grade Array Stones x10.

Oh, and there were two hundred more spirit stones.

Lin Xiao was somewhat curious about what was included in those basic arrays, so he took out the Complete Guide to Basic Array Carving. It looked like a rather small booklet in his personal inventory, but unexpectedly, it was a heavy book when he held it in his hands.

He casually flipped through a few pages.

It had to be said, this book truly lived up to its name as a complete basic guide.

The few pages he randomly flipped to were basically all thoughtful arrays very suitable for daily life, such as the Slight Heating Array and the Minor Cooling Array.

With these arrays, being warm in winter and cool in summer wouldn't be just a dream.

Although these ordinary temperatures were all about the same to him now as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could be used for his grandparents and others who had no cultivation base.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao flipped further back.

Suddenly, he was attracted by a name.

He saw that this page actually introduced an array called the Pest Control Array.

Lin Xiao began to read it carefully.

A moment later, he raised his head from the book with joy.

This Pest Control Array could exterminate all insects within a regional range. Wasn't this exactly the array needed for farming!

In this era of depending on the weather for food, besides irrigation and fertilization, the most distressing thing about farming was nothing other than insect pests.

If he could set up this array and place it in the fields in the future, wouldn't it save many farmers from their troubles?

Anyway, he believed that if his father saw this array, his mouth would twist into a huge grin.

Therefore, Lin Xiao hesitated between trying to create this array right now and going to cultivate first.

In the end, he still planned to go cultivate first.

After all, everyone was in the cultivation room right now.

As the sect master, he also wanted to cultivate together with everyone!

Having made his decision, he temporarily suppressed his urgent desire to try carving this array, entered the cultivation room, and began to calmly cultivate his already upgraded Origin Heart Sutra.

Ever since the Origin Heart Sutra upgraded to the Heaven-rank mid-grade, Lin Xiao didn't even need to consult the original copy to cultivate it.

This mental cultivation method seemed to have taken root in his heart. As long as he entered a state of cultivation, the circulation of spiritual power in his body would naturally follow the contents of this method.

Speaking of which, regarding the fact that the Origin Heart Sutra had actually upgraded, Lin Xiao had previously checked it using the appraisal function.

It turned out that this mental cultivation method, which had previously been rated as S-class, or Heaven-rank low-grade, was actually a growth-type cultivation method that could grow along with his own comprehension during the process of his cultivation!

In other words, although the initial level of this mental cultivation method was only Heaven-rank low-grade, as the comprehension level of each person cultivating this method improved, the method could also grow or even downgrade based on individual comprehension, thereby reaching different grade levels.

Put this way, even if everyone cultivated this same mental cultivation method, the final results might all be different.

Moreover, ever since the mental cultivation method upgraded, Lin Xiao felt that his cultivation speed had become much faster every time he cultivated.

When he was previously in the county town, although he had the assistance of the Peach Blossom Spirit Gathering Array, the effect was not this obvious.

But when he cultivated at home last night, he had already felt it.

Nowadays, near Xiushui Village, because of the Lingxian Sect's low-grade spirit vein, the density of spiritual energy had greatly increased.

Not to mention right now, Lin Xiao was sitting in the sect's cultivation room, which also had the blessing of a basic Spirit Gathering Array.

His cultivation speed was now completely incomparable to what it used to be!
