Chapter 17: Building the Residences, the All-new Lingyun Sect
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, at the back of the Lingyun Sect’s mountain.
This place was deserted and overgrown with weeds.
One was only greeted by desolation and bleakness no matter where one looked.
Jiang Yiming stood on a huge rock and looked around.
He did this for some time and could not help but reveal a helpless expression.
“Sigh, I didn’t expect this place to be so desolate,” Jiang Yiming sighed lightly and shook his head.
Through his memories, he knew that this backyard was originally the residence of the disciples.
Back when the Lingyun Sect was at its peak, there were over a thousand disciples in the sect.
The back of the mountain was where the disciples usually rested and cultivated.
In the past, there were floors and floors of buildings and a vast cultivation space here.
Over a thousand young disciples sweated and worked hard here.
But now, only cold dew was left of the place.
That unexpected sudden event back then had changed many things overnight.
The once-powerful fourth rank sect was now merely a force that was inferior to even a fifth rank sect.
There were only three disciples left in the entire Lingyun Sect.
Jiang Yiming was only sighing for fun, he wasn’t too melancholy about the past.
Because he knew that from now on, the Lingyun Sect would be a hundred times stronger than before!
“This is it,” Jiang Yiming stood on the barren land and said in a low voice.
Then, he opened the system.
[Notication]: There are three types of residences that can be built.
[Option One]: Consumes middle-grade spirit stones to build eight cultivation residences.
[Option Two]: Consumes high-grade spirit stones to build twenty-four cultivation residences.
[Option Three]: Consumes supreme-grade spirit stones to build thirty-six cultivation residences.
“I choose option three!” Jiang Yiming didn’t hesitate at all to choose the third option.
Since he wanted to construct residences, he naturally had to build the best available.
In any case, he was currently rich and had endless spirit stones anyway.
[Notiofication]: Building thirty-six cultivation residences will consume 12,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.
[Notification]: The thirty-six cultivation residences built will form the Mystic Heaven Spirit Gathering Array. This array can absorb the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. When one is in the array, every breath will raise one’s cultivation.
[Notification]: Building thirty-six cultivation residences will take 45 days.
The system’s notifications sounded in his mind.
Hearing these notifications, Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but be stunned.
He had heard of the Mystic Heaven Spirit Gathering Array in the game in his previous life.
Just as the system notification had said, this was a very powerful spirit gathering array.
Once the array was activated, all the spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles would gather within it.
Within the array, one didn’t even need to meditate. Just between breaths, one could absorb spiritual energy.
Even if one slept at night, one’s cultivation would continue to increase.
“Although this array is great, it will take too long.”
Jiang Yiming felt like he didn’t have a choice as he opened the system interface.
[Notification]: Would you like to spend 5,000 high-grade spirit stones to complete the construction of the residences immediately?
“Yes.”
In the next moment, a huge commotion suddenly erupted from the ground.
A gust of strong wind whistled past, and the wild grass around was instantly cleared.
Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and the entire back mountain shook violently.
Under Jiang Yiming’s gaze, thirty-six residences suddenly rose from the ground.
Dust and debris filled the sky, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
Dazzling rays of light rotated and shone like the dazzling sun.
The thirty-six residences were arranged in an extremely mystical sequence.
Around the residences, thick clouds rose and lingered.
The entire back mountain seemed to have become paradise on Earth in an instant.
Jiang Yiming could feel that the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth here had become countless times denser in an instant.
With just a light inhale, vast amounts of spiritual energy crazily surged into his body.
It caused his originally vast spiritual energy to suddenly show signs of rising.
“As expected of the Mystic Heaven Spirit Gathering Array. By living here, I believe that the cultivation speed of Xiaoyu and the others will be much faster.”
Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but sigh in amazement as he felt the changes of the spiritual energy in his body.
If a sect wanted to grow, resources and talents were indispensable.
Now that he had the system with him, he naturally didn’t have to worry about resources.
As long as he signed in every day and completed the missions issued by the system, he would be able to obtain all kinds of rare treasures.
However, the system would not send disciples to the Lingyun Sect. He would have to get disciples himself.
Now that the residences had been built, the most important thing now was to let his three disciples move in.
The next step would be to find new disciples for the Lingyun Sect.
However, when he thought about how troublesome it was to recruit disciples, Jiang Yiming had another headache.
“Forget it, let’s receive the mission reward first.”
[Ding!]
[Notification]: Main mission “celestial residence” completed!
[Notification]: The mission completion reward is a bottle of Bliss pills
[Notification]: Due to the Celestial King’s Privilege, the Bliss pills have been successfully upgraded to become the Bliss Recovery pills
[Notification]: The mission reward has been placed in the player’s backpack. Please check to see you have received it.
A series of system notifications sounded.
Jiang Yiming hurriedly opened his backpack and looked at the dazzling bottle in shock.
Even just by hearing its name, one could roughly guess the effects of the Bliss Recovery pill.
As the Celestial King in the game in his previous life, Jiang Yiming understood even more so what this bottle of pills meant.
It could bring the dead to life and heal all wounds. Even if one was dead for two hours, by taking this pill, one could return from the gates of Hell.
This was a true elixir that could bring the dead back to life!
Just as Jiang Yiming was about to scrutinize the pills, the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded again.
[Ding — mission triggered]
[Type]: Main storyline
[Mission Name]: Make a name for yourself
[Mission Requirements]: Although the sect has been rebuilt, it is not known to the world. Please increase the publicity of the sect as soon as possible.
[Mission Reward]: The sect’s defense array, Four Symbols Array!
[Mission Time Limit]: 15 days
Jiang Yiming could not help but be taken aback when he heard the new mission issued by the system.
“There’s no standard for publicity. What exactly does it mean to raise the sect’s publicity, anyway? I can’t just go to town and shout about it, right?” Jiang Yiming shook his head helplessly.
Raising the publicity of the sect was indeed something Jiang Yiming had to do.
After all, if he wanted to recruit disciples, he had to make the name of the Lingyun Sect known first.
However, the system did not give any criteria at all. It was hard to say what would be considered as completing the mission.
Just as Jiang Yiming was deep in thought, Huang Zhaoyu ran over in a hurry again.
“Master, something bad has happened!”
Huang Chaoyu’s face was full of anxiousness, but the moment she raised her head, the anxiousness on her face was replaced by shock.
This was because she was greeted by the sight of thirty-six mystical residences that were filled with dense spiritual energy.
She had been to the back of the mountain countless times. Why were there suddenly so many residences?
What was even more shocking was that these residences seemed quite mystical. They were definitely not simple.
“Master, these are?” Huang Chaoyu’s jaw was about to drop from shock.
Jiang Yiming casually waved his hand as he said, “They’re nothing. This will be your place of residence from now on. Look at you in such a hurry. What’s with the bad news you mentioned?”
Speaking of “bad news”, only then did Huang Chaoyu remember that she came looking for her Master for official business. Her expression instantly returned to being anxious.
“Master, something bad has happened to second senior brother!”
