Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't yet taken a tour of this alchemy room.
Everyone was still cultivating, and since this wasn't the main sect hall, it didn't hold that kind of monumental significance. So, there was no need to wait and explore it together with everyone else, right?
He might as well take a look first!
Thus, Lin Xiao decisively reached out, pushed the door open, and walked inside.
The first thing that caught his eye was the Chongming Cauldron sitting right in the center of the room.
On the left and right sides stood several tall medicinal herb cabinets.
Behind the Chongming Cauldron was a long desk, which Lin Xiao guessed was a place to put herbs that were waiting to be used.
However, even though there were quite a few things in this alchemy room, the entire interior still looked very spacious and bright.
He walked up to the Chongming Cauldron and examined it carefully.
The Chongming Cauldron was entirely black, but within this ink-like blackness, layers of light constantly shone through.
The so-called "Chongming" meant that the light was continuous and inextinguishable.
Lin Xiao looked under the cauldron but didn't find any trace of the Red Lotus Lava he had previously put into the synthesizer.
He thought for a moment and lifted the cauldron's lid.
Then he saw a layer of rosy halo glowing at the very bottom of the cauldron.
It looked just like red-hot charcoal.
As Lin Xiao reached his hand closer, he felt a wave of scorching heat wash over him.
With this, he contentedly walked out of the alchemy room with his hands clasped behind his back.
Ignoring its unpretentious exterior, he was highly satisfied with this alchemy room.
So next up was the disciple dormitory.
Speaking of the disciple dormitory, Lin Xiao remembered that among his disciples, there seemed to be a non-human little demon chicken.
It seemed he still had a Demonic Beast Cultivation Facility Synthesis Recipe in his private storage.
Lin Xiao opened his private storage to take a look, and indeed, it was there.
However, after pondering for a moment, he decided to hold off on building this demonic beast cultivation facility for now.
After all, up to now, Little Luan was the only demon in the entire sect. A separate cultivation facility was completely unnecessary. Moreover, looking at how lazy that fellow Little Luan was, Lin Xiao felt that building a separate cultivation facility for it would be too much of a waste.
No wonder it was said before that it could absorb a single spirit stone for three months. It turned out it wasn't because the spirit stone was truly that durable, but because it was just lazy!
Therefore, Lin Xiao planned that once the disciple dormitory was built, he would just make a chicken nest for it inside.
However, even though it was called a dormitory, Lin Xiao didn't actually plan to build two large shared rooms where everyone slept together.
Personal privacy was still very important, not to mention they were all cultivators now.
So Lin Xiao prepared to give each person a small cabin to serve as their dormitory.
He then opened the building synthesizer and, with quick familiarity, synthesized a room with an area of only about twenty square meters.
Finding a suitable location on this small hilltop, Lin Xiao aimed a spiritual energy flying blade at a spot and slashed horizontally!
However, unlike chopping trees, it was quite difficult for his spiritual energy blade to cut through the hard, dense rock face. It only shaved off the outermost layer of dirt, while the inner rock was barely chipped by an area of less than a square meter.
Lin Xiao paused. It seemed the effectiveness of the spiritual energy flying blade on cutting stone was somewhat lacking.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any handy sharp tools right now. If only he had a sword and some sort of sword technique.
It looked like equipping weapons also needed to be put on the agenda.
Thus, Lin Xiao silently noted this down in his mental little notebook.
He then continued using the spiritual energy blade to carve away at the mountain wall a few square meters at a time.
Only after he had carved the chosen spot into a vertical notch did he align the back wall of the single room with the notch and place it down.
Afterward, Lin Xiao followed the exact same method and built eleven houses in total.
The continuous work of cutting the mountain wall completely drained all his spiritual energy.
Nearly two hours later, he collapsed onto the ground in extreme exhaustion, looking at the eleven neatly staggered houses standing on the small hill with great satisfaction.
By now, the sun was already setting in the west, and in less than two hours, it would be switching shifts with the moon.
He did not continue building.
One reason was that he didn't have a single drop of spiritual energy left in his body.
The other reason was that the entire sect currently only had eleven people, so building more houses would just leave them sitting idle.
However, idle houses deteriorated very quickly. Things like houses needed to be lived in to prevent them from falling into disrepair.
As for Little Luan, it could just find anyone's dormitory to move into; it was just a matter of setting up a nest, anyway.
Ding—Sect construction quest Sect Facilities (4) completed. The quest rewards have been issued to the private storage. Please check them, Host.
Two quests had been completed in succession, and now their rewards were sitting in his private storage, quietly waiting for Lin Xiao to check them.
Lin Xiao opened his private storage with great anticipation.
Then he saw the few extra items that had appeared inside.
Encyclopedia of Basic Pill Recipes x1, Two Elements Life and Death Array x1.
Lin Xiao didn't look at the quality but checked the quantity first, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with the amount of quest rewards.
As a result, a sweep of his gaze revealed that the number of spirit stones had gone from 152 to 352. It seemed these two quests had rewarded a total of two hundred spirit stones.
Lin Xiao was satisfied.
But in a flash, he seemed to notice another place where the numbers were different.
He looked closely and found it was actually the Tier 1 Spirit Vein Fragments!
The quantity had impressively gone from the previous two pieces to three!
Didn't this mean he could summon a spirit vein now?
Lin Xiao was extremely thrilled. This was their sect's very first spirit vein!
How could a sect residence without a spirit vein be considered a place of cultivation?
Therefore, Lin Xiao immediately ignored the Encyclopedia of Basic Pill Recipes and the Two Elements Life and Death Array, decisively taking out the three Tier 1 Spirit Vein Fragments.
The moment he took out the fragments, the system in his mind popped up a prompt:
Ding—Congratulations to the Host for successfully gathering three Tier 1 Spirit Vein Fragments. Would you like to synthesize the Tier 1 Spirit Vein now?
Lin Xiao immediately selected yes.
Tier 1 Spirit Vein synthesized successfully. Would you like to place it now?
He thought about it and still chose not to place it now. He selected no and returned the Tier 1 Spirit Vein back into his private storage.
The spirit vein placed in the private storage looked just like a small, softly glowing dumpling.
The reason Lin Xiao didn't choose to place it now was that he believed something like a spirit vein required a carefully chosen location. It couldn't be placed too casually like other things.
He planned to go find Senior Liao tomorrow and indirectly inquire if there were any particular rules regarding spirit veins before deciding.
Thus, Lin Xiao finally turned his attention back to the two newly acquired quest rewards.
There was no need to talk about the first one, the Encyclopedia of Basic Pill Recipes; just looking at the name told him what it was.
As for the other, the Two Elements Life and Death Array Disk.
Lin Xiao directly used the appraisal function on it.
Two Elements Life and Death Array Disk, an Earth-grade array disk with immense lethal power. Specific details can be seen through actual use. This array disk can be placed directly for use. When placing it, the user needs to use their own spiritual energy to connect the various nodes on the array disk. Once connected, it requires an input of Spirit Stones x100.
Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised; this was actually an offensive array disk!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
