I changed the world.

Suddenly, a large cloud of mist surged out of the void in the main room and study. Then, a bronze door that appeared out of thin air was opened, and a figure walked out from it.

This was Zhang Jing, who had just returned to the real world. After returning to his study, he did not linger and quickly disappeared from the study again. His target this time was Lishan Cave Heaven.

At this point, Lishan Cave was completely different from its initial state of ruins. Large quantities of newly purchased building materials were neatly piled up on the open ground, and all the buildings on the ruins had been completely demolished, with the dismantled building components also neatly arranged to the side.

The ruins floor, which was originally damaged in many places, has now been completely leveled and paved again. According to Zhang Jing's instructions, this part was not changed much. Instead, the original style of the ruins floor was adopted directly, and only the damaged parts were repaired, replaced and repaved.

The direct benefit of doing this is that it preserves the historical feel of the entire site; the sense of vicissitude brought about by thousands of years of historical accumulation will not be simply destroyed.

In addition, the surrounding walls, the steps on the mountain path, and those huge archways have also been restored.

According to the architectural plan, the overall layout of the complex did not fundamentally alter the original ruins, retaining the main structure. Specifically, two complexes were planned, one on the mountaintop and one on the hillside. Zhang Jing envisioned the mountaintop section as the inner courtyard, and the lower section as the lower courtyard.

Currently, the Sutra Repository, as the first building to be constructed, has been rebuilt. After reconstruction, the location of the Sutra Repository has not been changed; it is situated in the inner courtyard on the mountaintop. The reason for its priority construction is that Zhang Jing currently uses it as a storage place for important items, especially the large number of Buddhist scriptures he has collected, which are all stored here. After all, so far, Lishan Cave Heaven is still much safer than his own residence in the real world.

The architectural style of the Sutra Repository has changed due to the new design. Although it is still somewhat similar to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, the main structure has almost entirely become a brick and stone structure. From the outside, it looks more like the brick pagoda architectural style of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period in Zhang Jing's previous life.

Since most of the remnant materials salvaged from the ruins, especially the stone and brick structures, could be reused, and Zhang Jing had already intended to mix old and new materials when purchasing new ones, he made selective choices regarding materials and colors.

This also demonstrates the superiority of the Cave Heaven Servants. Their almost magical construction abilities minimize secondary damage when demolishing buildings, as the hard bricks and stones become like building blocks under their control. Furthermore, Zhang Jing discovered that these Cave Heaven Servants can also strengthen the bricks and stones using their abilities when constructing buildings, which was an unexpected and delightful surprise.

Therefore, during the reconstruction, he instructed the servants of the cave to use the old materials and the newly purchased materials together in the building.

This also brought another unexpected benefit: it greatly saved on the consumption of building materials. Originally, Zhang Jing had planned to have Jiang Shanlin purchase another batch of building materials, but now it seems that it is enough, and there is even a surplus.

After all, Zhang Jing's current architectural design is smaller in scale than the original Lishan Cave ruins. In Zhang Jing's view, at least for a considerable period of time, there is no need to maintain a very large building area, as the current building area is sufficient for use.

According to the design drawings made by Zhang Jingren, coupled with the powerful construction capabilities of the Dongtian servants, the construction speed of Lishan Dongtian is generally very fast. At present, in addition to the completion of the ground, archway, steps, gable walls and scripture hall, the construction of the front hall in the lower courtyard has also been completed. The next step is to start building the side halls on both sides.

In Zhang Jing's view, the construction speed of the Cave Heaven Servants was even faster than that of the infrastructure maniac from his previous life.

The only drawback is probably the intelligence aspect. These cave servants cannot directly read architectural blueprints and thus construct autonomously. Zhang Jing still needs to communicate with them extensively, using his telepathic communication ability to fully outline the required architectural structure for them before construction can proceed.

For Zhang Jing, this meant he needed to enter Lishan Cave Heaven from time to time to supervise the construction and keep the project moving forward. Otherwise, if he didn't come in for a few days, he would find three idle cave heaven servants just loafing around when he entered again...
