Murong Zhuo was in charge of renovating the cave dwelling.

No major changes are needed, but the entrance area does require decoration.

Murong Zhuo showed amazing enthusiasm in this regard.

He planted corresponding trees and flowers at the entrance of each cave.

The eldest brother planted silver-leaf bamboo at his door; it's elegant.

The third senior brother planted a delicate green vine at the entrance.

The fourth senior brother planted flame flowers at the entrance, which were very vibrant.

He planted golden willows in front of his own door, symbolizing wealth and status.

Sixth Senior Brother planted an Ice Heart Orchid at his door; it was cold and elegant.

Although the second senior brother's cave was empty, he had planted a welcoming pine tree.

They said that when their second senior brother returned, it would be the first thing he would see.

As for my cave dwelling...

He planted a lot of flowers at the entrance.

Red, yellow, purple, pink, in circles, like a rainbow fallen to the ground.

They even built a swing for me next to them.

The swing is very high; once you swing out, you'll be on a cliff edge.

When you swing to the highest point, there's a bottomless abyss below.

But it's okay, I can fly.

Even if the swing breaks, you won't die from the fall.

Murong Zhuo stood beside the swing, looking at his creation with satisfaction.

"Junior sister, do you like it?"

I sat on the swing and swayed back and forth.

"like."

He smiled.

Her smile was brighter than any flower.

Gu Chenguang passed by, glanced at the flowers filling the cave entrance, then at the swing, and silently took out his notebook to make a note:

—Murong Zhuo's supervisory results:

——Junior Sister's Cave: It has the most flowers and a swing.

—Other senior brothers' cave dwellings: like flowers, no swings.

—Note: Fifth Senior Brother is biased, and his bias is blatant.

Gu Chenguang was in charge of overseeing the construction of the library.

A two-story building with white walls and black tiles, and two purple bamboo trees in front of the door.

It's as elegant as a small academy.

The disciples of Gongshu Pavilion set up a fireproof and theft-proof formation inside.

It is said that even those at the Nascent Soul stage cannot break through.

Gu Chenguang moved all his treasured possessions inside.

It's not a sword manual.

It's a novel.

As I passed by, I glanced at the bookshelf and fell silent.

So that's what Sixth Brother was hiding under his pillow.

No wonder he sighs every time he finishes keeping accounts.

I'm not sighing for money, I'm sighing for the protagonist in the novel.

--------

Shen Qingchen was responsible for... being the bricklayer.

We'll move it wherever it's needed.

There was a shortage of people at the main gate, so he went to the main gate.

He went to the cafeteria because they were short-staffed.

The alchemy room was short-staffed, so he went there.

There was a shortage of people in the back mountain, so he went there.

He was like a brick that could fly on a sword, soaring throughout the entire sect.

The senior students all said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother."

Shen Qingchen always said, "It's not hard work."

Then continue flying.

My job is to... supervise everyone's work.

When they got tired, I took out some candy from my pocket.

One was given to each person.

I bought the candy in the Demon Realm's trading district. It's a specialty of the Demon Realm, and it's three times sweeter than the candy in the cultivation world. Eating one can keep you energized for half a day.

The senior students all said it was good.

Even Shen Qingchen ate one.

Although he said "it's too sweet," the corners of his mouth were curved in a smile.

----------

half a month later.

All the projects have been completed.

—The council hall has been completed.

The grand hall, capable of accommodating a thousand people, features obsidian pillars, white jade steps, and plain blue tiles, exuding the grandeur of an imperial palace.

Although the pillars are from the demon realm, the steps are from the cultivation realm, and the tiles were collected by the Heavenly Sword Sect itself.

It's a mix-and-match style, but it looks surprisingly good.

—The canteen has been completed.

There are eight stoves in the kitchen.

Cooking rice, stir-frying vegetables, stewing soup, steaming noodles, simmering broth, frying dried goods, braising mixed grains, and serving warm soup...

Everything is available.

Yan Chuan stood in the kitchen, holding his Netherworld Iron Pot, his eyes reddening again.

"This is the best stove I've ever seen."

Gu Chenguang whispered from the side, "You haven't even seen many stoves yourself."

—The alchemy room has been completed.

It's 100 square meters, not big, but it has everything you need.

The alchemy furnace was placed in the very center, surrounded by a dense array of defensive formations, with even the ground engraved with array patterns.

Elder Jingyuan stood in the alchemy room and nodded in satisfaction.

"We can blow it up now," he said.

Everyone looked at him.

He changed his words: "Uh... I mean, we can start refining pills now."

—The sect's gate has been erected.

Four white jade pillars and a jade sandstone lintel; although the decorations have been reduced by half, it is still grand.

Not flashy, but not shabby either.

Elder Wangji stood in front of the gate, looking up at the blank lintel.

"It needs to have words engraved on it."

Everyone nodded.

Who carved it?

Everyone fell silent.

Then they all turned to look at Gu Chenguang.

Gu Chenguang was stunned.

"I?"

Elder Wangji nodded: "You are the most cultured person in the entire sect."

Gu Chenguang opened his mouth, wanting to say, "I can only keep accounts," but seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, he swallowed his words.

He drew his sword and flew to the lintel.

Take a deep breath.

Make the cut.

Each stroke is deliberate and careful.

[Heavenly Sword Sect]

The three characters took a full hour to carve.

After finishing carving, he stepped back a few paces and looked at his work.

The handwriting is neat and the strokes are strong.

While it may not be on par with those calligraphy masters, it is certainly presentable.

Elder Wangji looked at it for a while and was very satisfied: "Hmm, not bad."

Elder Wen Zhiya nodded: "The calligraphy is better than that of the Qingyun Sect next door."

Elder Jingyuan added, "The calligraphy used by Qingyun Sect was written by a famous calligrapher, which cost a lot of money."

Elder Wangji was even more satisfied: "Then we've actually made a profit."

Gu Chenguang sheathed his sword, his face expressionless, but the tips of his ears turned red.

—Some of the spiritual fields on the back mountain have already sprouted.

Tender green seedlings sprouted from the black soil, swaying gently in the sunlight.

Wen Zhiya squatted by the field, looking at the seedlings with a kind expression as if he were looking at his own grandson.

He said, "We'll be able to harvest it in a few decades."

Then he took out a bag of spirit beast essence from his storage bag, preparing to sprinkle it again.

The senior students silently took five steps back.

Sudden……

A sound came from the valley behind the mountain.

"boom--"

It wasn't very loud, like something was trapped inside a jar and exploded.

The group exchanged glances and then ran towards the valley in unison.

He ran to the entrance of the alchemy room and saw Elder Jingyuan standing inside.

He was covered in black smoke, his hair was frizzy like an afro, and the ash on his face was thicker than that of a coal miner from the demon realm.

But his eyes were bright.

They shone like two stars.

"It's a success," he said.

Everyone looked at the alchemy furnace.

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew off and became embedded in the defensive magic array on the ceiling.

However, the alchemy furnace itself was intact.

The house was also intact.

The surrounding defensive array glowed faintly, as if it had just undergone a small test.

Elder Jingyuan took out a few pills from the alchemy furnace.

It was dark, round, and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Low-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill," he said, his tone brimming with barely suppressed pride. "Although it doesn't look very good, it's edible."

He paused, then added, "It should be edible."

Everyone fell silent.

Suning asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by 'should be edible'?"

Elder Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's just... eating it won't kill you."

Yan Chuan raised his hand: "What will happen if I eat it?"

Elder Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, "They might get diarrhea, but they won't die."

The crowd remained silent.

Elder Wangji broke the silence: "As long as it's edible. Diarrhea is better than no pills at all."

Wen Zhiya nodded: "That's right. We didn't even have medicine for diarrhea before."

Elder Jingyuan put the pills into a jade bottle and then into his storage bag.

"After I refine a few more batches, the quality will be much better. Practice makes perfect when it comes to alchemy."

He looked at the pot lid embedded in the defensive magic circle and added, "The pot lid shouldn't fly away next time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

I silently noted down this "should".
