Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 56 State of Mind (Please continue reading)

"Having heard that a new island lord has arrived on Luoxia Island, I have come to pay my respects. I hope Island Lord Su will not misunderstand." Zhong Xing cupped his hands and said with a smile, "In addition, I am also here on behalf of the Hundred Crafts Pavilion to accept Island Lord Su's task. I heard that Island Lord Su wants to build a cave dwelling. I wonder what kind it will be, so that our Hundred Crafts Pavilion can send cultivators to build it."

Zhong Xing came to visit in person because he wanted to see the strength of the Lord of Luoxia Island. After all, every Foundation Establishment cultivator who appears in the area has an impact on the surrounding forces.

However, after seeing that Su You's strength was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he felt relieved, as the early stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation wouldn't affect the situation much.

"This is the cave dwelling I need to build. I wonder if you can complete it?" Su You waved his hand gently and presented a jade slip.

He didn't care whether the other party came to visit or not. As long as he could complete his task, that was enough. As for any schemes or plots, there weren't even any Golden Core cultivators in this small area, so why would he worry about them?

Su You had already recorded the blueprints for the outer layer of the Wizard Tower on the jade slip, including its shape, number of layers, internal structure, and so on. These were all meticulously calculated and designed. The external structure was fine, just the appearance, but the internal structure was the most critical and could not have the slightest error.

Zhong Xing took the jade slip and was somewhat surprised when he saw the strange design inside. However, he did not ask anything and replied directly, "Although the pavilion that Island Master Su wants to build is a bit large, it can be built. It will take about half a month. I will give you a discount on the construction fee. The total fee is five hundred spirit stones. You can pay a deposit of one hundred spirit stones now."

Su You took out one hundred spirit stones and handed them over, saying, "Then I'll leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Zhong."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhong Xing returned home to prepare to send someone to repair the damage.

A day later, more than ten cultivators from the Hundred Crafts Pavilion came to the door and began to build the pavilion according to the location planned by Su You.

First, they started digging the foundation because Su You's design included two underground floors, so a deeper foundation was needed.

In just a few days, the basic structure of the pavilion was completed.

As expected, everyone has their own expertise. These cultivators specialize in building cave dwellings for various forces and families. They are proficient in all kinds of earth-attribute spells, so they can only say that they are very good at doing these things.

In just ten days, the pavilion was completed according to the design on Su Youyu's jade slip.

"Senior Su, we have completed the construction of the pavilion according to your design. Please check it over and see if there are any omissions." The leading cultivator of the Hundred Crafts Pavilion reported upon arrival.

"It's finished?" Su You was slightly surprised. Only ten days had passed, and it was already completed. That's quite fast. He just didn't know if it was built exactly according to his design. He had given special instructions before construction began.

Leaving the cave, what comes into view is a pavilion hundreds of feet high. It is no longer as rough as before, but now it is magnificent and has the feel of a painted pavilion.

The exterior was secondary; once Su You stepped inside, he saw the space inside, which was over two hundred feet long and wide, making it a vast and spacious interior.

Upon closer inspection of the internal structure, it was found that everything was built according to his design drawings, layer by layer. The inner space was also divided according to the drawings, leaving room for future magical facilities.

"Not bad." Su You nodded in satisfaction.

In that case, all that's needed is to line the interior with second-tier stone, and the spacious interior will be enough to accommodate the locations of all the buildings in the Wizard Tower.

Next, all Su You needs to do is wait for the auction to buy a suitable formation, and then he can truly settle here.

Su You set up the Water Nether Returning Origin Trapping Array, which he had only used once before, to protect the pavilion and prevent anyone from accidentally entering.

With two and a half years until the auction, Su You wasn't in a hurry to go back. He had already obtained most of the materials, and was only missing the third-tier grand formation and the third-tier spirit-enhancing formation to improve the spiritual veins.

A third-tier Spirit Ascension Array is an essential formation for upgrading the grade of a spirit vein. Su You couldn't even hire a third-tier spirit vein creator, a highly prized individual in every faction, and generally impossible to obtain. However, while he couldn't have the spirit vein creator do it personally, he could use a Spirit Ascension Array crafted by the creator, which would have the same effect on other spirit vein grades.

Although the price is slightly higher than that of a vein-building master, it has the advantage of being safe and discreet.

After all, if you ask other forces to set up something like a spiritual vein, there's a risk they might tamper with it, which would be disastrous. It's much safer to use a spirit-ascending array.

For example, the third-tier Spirit Ascension Array is sold in ten sets at the annual auction by the Void Heaven Sect, so it should be relatively easy to acquire.

Needless to say, third-tier grand formations are definitely available at auctions; it's just unknown what their grade will be.

For the rest of the time, Su You stayed in his cave to cultivate. He had previously obtained a batch of second-tier spirit beads, but had not had time to refine them. Now he finally had some free time.

In addition, Su You also went to Aurora Island midway through his trip, where he hired two maids, one a cook who could prepare spiritual cuisine and the other a tea master who could perform tea ceremonies. He also purchased a batch of supplies.

Su You enjoyed a rare period of leisure.

Daily cultivation, occasionally teasing the adorable little maid, sometimes climbing to a high place to enjoy the scenery, sipping spiritual tea, and savoring spiritual cuisine—this is life.

Although the cook's skills are average and she can't handle second-tier ingredients, the quality of the raw materials is high. The second-tier rose passion rice is fragrant, sweet, and delicious, with a rich and satisfying flavor.

Needless to say, spiritual tea doesn't require high skills. All that's needed is for the maid to be dignified, elegant, and have an excellent temperament that is pleasing to the eye.

The second-tier spiritual spring, paired with second-tier tea leaves, produces a tea that purifies the mind and spirit, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

Su You now realizes that he had been living a somewhat stressful life before.

The reason is still that in the wizarding world, the life-threatening pain kept him on edge, constantly searching for a glimmer of hope. So even after transmigrating to the world of cultivation, despite having the talent to save his life, he was still somewhat on edge.

This psychological pressure only gradually disappeared after he broke through to the first level of wizard.

Only now has he fully integrated into this world of cultivation, where he can cultivate and enjoy life without any compromise – this is what life is all about.

Otherwise, if one only focuses on arduous cultivation, what difference is there between that and a cold puppet?

As soon as the thought arose, Su You felt a change in his sea of ​​consciousness, rising and falling like the tide, and his spiritual power also changed constantly.

Until the tide finally recedes.

Mental strength is like sand and gravel in a wave; it seems to have been refined. Although the total amount has not increased, the quality has improved.

In the world of cultivation, this is called enlightenment; in the world of wizards, it's called the sublimation of spiritual power.

"Life is wonderful!" Su You smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
