Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 78 Many grains of sand make a house
While this cannot be compared to creating something out of thin air, it is still an extremely shocking method of transforming the world.

Having only been in Guixu for a few days, their understanding was once again shocked, and the impact on their minds was no small matter.

"My goodness, this is like building a skyscraper from scratch, Lao Ji, you've really got some impressive skills."

After witnessing this, Qi Lin smacked his lips and then sighed.

"Sand can be piled up to form a building, and it is so solid, as if it grew out of the ground. All the sand grains are stuck together without a single gap, as if it were originally one piece. Moreover, the sand is so solid that I feel it is even stronger than ordinary bricks and stones."

At this moment, Su Yue's interest was also completely piqued.

Reaching out to touch the sand wall, I felt the unique texture of the sand grains. I stroked it, yet not a single grain fell off. This wasn't a sand wall, but a stone wall that had grown from the earth, yet its texture was even more refined than rock. Most importantly, the sand grains were crystalline, displaying vibrant colors under light, making it visually appealing and very soothing.

At least, Su Yue thought it was pretty good.

"Hurry up and go in, what's it like inside?"

Hu Youni could no longer contain her interest.

This is a house built on the back of the Baxia Dragon Turtle. Back on Earth, we would never have even dreamed of such a thing, let alone seen such a sight.

"Okay, let's all go in and take a look. Then, choose a room, and from now on, you'll all live on the Dragon Lord's back."

Ji Tianhao smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

This sand house is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The Dragon King used the power of the earth's veins to gather the surrounding sand grains, which then appeared on the turtle's back. He further used the earth's vein power to forcibly compress the sand grains, changing the density of each grain by at least tenfold. This caused the sand grains to take on a unique crystalline shape, and, relying on the earth's vein power, all the sand grains were fused together, resembling a giant rock growing from the earth.

The overall structure, even without a single steel bar or a bag of cement, is already so sturdy as to be unbreakable.

This is the wonder of the earth's vein power, the power to control the earth. Especially when it is on Baxia Longjun himself, the changes it exhibits are even more miraculous, capable of doing something almost like a dream.

Go inside.

Immediately, it was seen that the room was not dark. The house was divided into two floors. The sand house had no windows, and even the window area was directly condensed into a glass state through the power of the earth's veins. It could let in light and also let you see the outside scenery. This was because the sand grains themselves had special crystalline substances that could undergo a special transformation under the power of the earth's veins to form such a seamless glass window.

Moreover, it is not fragile and can defend against some conventional attacks.

On the first floor, there is only a master bedroom, followed by a living room with rows of shelves. These shelves are also cast in one piece and are intended for use as a shop; once the shelves are set up, the business can commence.

"This is where we store our goods. There are three rows of shelves, and it will take some effort to fill them all. We can't just sell the essence of heaven and earth as a single product."

Qi Lin looked at the three rows of shelves and said with a smile.

"Yes, we should bring the essence of heaven and earth, and other daily necessities can be placed there as well. I collected quite a few things when I was at the hotel. Although they are daily necessities, they are also the most needed items for most people. Especially food and drink, those are necessities. According to the law of the Void, food is the most important thing for people. If they are really hungry, they must eat. Otherwise, they can't even think about cultivating properly when they are hungry. As traveling merchants, we must have food and drink. We must prepare as much food and water as possible."

"We can find a way to gradually replenish the stock. Just one essential item is enough to establish our high-end status as itinerant merchants."

Ji Tianhao said confidently.

The essence of heaven and earth is an irresistible temptation for countless cultivators, especially the fusion of ordinary essence and life essence, which can directly condense into the even more wondrous essence of all spirits. This is the foundation for becoming a traveling merchant. Moreover, by leveraging essence to access various resources, the number of goods available will only continue to increase in the future. Here, one can buy and sell, and bartering is also acceptable.

"Yes, I think this is good enough. After all, we've only just begun. What we need is initial accumulation and the growth of our foundation. Having a core product will be enough to support future development."

Su Yue said with a confident expression.

She knows all too well how much a core product can contribute to a business empire.

After looking at the first floor, we went up to the second floor.

After climbing the stairs to the second floor, the floor remained smooth and shiny. There were two rooms and a small living room serving as a common area. The rooms were almost identical in size, perfectly adequate for two people per room. In addition, there was a bathroom. The plumbing for the bathroom had been pre-designed during the house's construction, leading directly outside the house, ensuring all wastewater was safely disposed of in the Guixu.

"Right now, the area around the Dragon Lord is limited, and the space we can use is also limited. We can only do it this simply. In the future, when the Dragon Lord's size increases, the house can be expanded accordingly, and some of the interior facilities and furniture can be rearranged. Please make do for now, but everything will be available in the future."

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

"What is this? Compared to before, having a house and a room where I can sleep peacefully is like a dream. Who would dare to be dissatisfied?"

Hu Youni looked around the room with excitement, very satisfied with the layout. There were no unnecessary decorations; each room had a stone bed, similar to a tatami mat, cast directly from sand, and a heated kang bed like those in Northeast China. It was very clean; you could just put a sheet on it and sleep, much better than sleeping in the car before. Having gone through hardship, being able to live a good life immediately changed her perspective.

“I have some Simmons mattresses that I collected from the hotel before. Put one on the stone bed and it’s no different from a normal bed. I collected a few extra before, so I can use them.”

Ji Tianhao didn't hide anything. After entering each room, he put out a mattress for each room, making it more comfortable to sleep in.

They had taken advantage of the hotel before, getting their hands on most of the things they thought were useful, even the mattress. Now it came in handy, and the two women were quite delighted.

Who would rather sleep on a hard stone bed than on a mattress?

“Three rooms. How about this, I’ll sleep downstairs, the two ladies can share a room, and you can share a room, Lao Ji. I’m always with my pipe, so I don’t want to bother the ladies.”

After Qi Lin came up and looked at the room, he immediately made a choice.

As he said, he felt more comfortable and at ease being alone down there, and he could enjoy the tobacco to his heart's content.

"I have no objection. We can both sleep in one room. Hao-ge can sleep in one."

Hu Youni said with a smile.

"Now that everything is arranged, we should set off as soon as possible and follow the direction the wedding procession left in to see if we can find any trace of them. As for Lao Liu's situation, we'll do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Ji Tianhao immediately said.

"I'll listen to you, I'm fine."

"Okay, Lao Ji, you decide."

Soon, everyone reached a consensus.

Baxia Dragon Lord had already begun to head in the direction the wedding procession had left.

From the moment the train departed until they discussed their next direction, deciding to first take the route of itinerant merchants, and then until Baxia made his move to create a house on his back, not much time had passed. In less than a short while, they had already reached a complete agreement and set off to catch up with the wedding procession in search of Liu San's whereabouts.

Although everyone knew that Liu San was likely in grave danger, or might not even be in the wedding procession, the things that needed to be done had to be done.

Perhaps this means leaving Shihu Village, the place where the flame of civilization was passed down, but it is only a matter of time, and we must go through it.

Setting sail at this moment is a natural progression.

Hu Youni and Su Yue have already started decorating their room.

They laid out the mattress, took out the sheets and duvet covers, and arranged various daily necessities. Although they weren't delicate, ordinary women, they still had certain requirements for the private space of their rooms.

Although it's still just the two of us sharing a room, it's much better than living in a tent with Ji Tianhao before.

There is a small balcony on the second floor, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

"There are so many monsters and monsters out there. Is it really okay to travel at this speed?"

Qi Lin also came out and stood on the balcony, looking around.

Under the moon over the golden sands, that was a time when plagues and monsters raged.

Even without being attracted by any signs of life, they will still spring up from the desert like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Although most of them are ordinary mummies, if a battle breaks out, they are enough to attract the attention of the surrounding hordes of corpses in an instant, forming an encirclement and posing a huge threat.

The Dragon Lord can move as if walking on flat ground on the sand. In fact, his huge body doesn't make much noise. If he wants, the power of the earth veins can eliminate all sound, and the resulting gravity can forcibly suppress any approaching enemies.

As for shielding one's own energy, like the land of fire, concealing one's form and avoiding being discovered by calamity soldiers and beasts, and not being marked by the calamity moon, this is an instinct belonging to the land of fire, and even the city of miracles and the land of wonders.

But blocking is not the same as being invisible.

The calamity soldiers and beasts are not without eyes; they can see anything nearby. This is one of the reasons why the calamity soldiers and beasts roaming near villages will invade them. Generally speaking, as long as you don't move, the probability of a calamity beast attacking is many times lower than if you were directly in the wilderness.
