"Oh, don't look at me like that."

Xiao Linlin lowered her head somewhat shyly: "This is only a small part of the warehouse. It's temporarily for your and your brother's cultivation needs, and also to replenish the wealth of Xiaoyun Temple."

"If it's not enough, brother can open the warehouse to replenish it at any time... Well, of course, don't use any technological items yet, so as not to ruin your role in the game."

"In addition, these resources should be used primarily on my brother and my grandmaster, and secondarily on the followers. If it is not necessary, do not use too much on non-follower NPCs."

Xiao Linlin instructed, "Although we have a lot of resources, they are still insufficient on a world-class scale in the current game; therefore, we should leverage these resources to attract even more resources, rather than blindly investing and wasting resources."

"I know."

Su Lin nodded in agreement. Seeing that he had taken her words to heart, Xiao Linlin smiled with satisfaction: "Alright then, I'm going to get to work now; Senior Sister, I'm leaving my brother in your care. Be gentle, don't hurt my brother."

Xiao Linlin winked playfully at Xu Zhenshu, who blushed, lowered his head, and silently nodded in agreement.

"Let's go."

Xiao Linlin turned around with a smile and skipped away from the main hall. Su Lin watched her leave Xiaoyun Temple with the last group of elves.

Not long after the start, only Su Lin, Li Xingtian, Xu Zhenshu, and Lu Zhouming remained in Xiaoyun Temple.

Outside, Lu Zhouming was already obediently cleaning the temple grounds. He had picked up a broom from somewhere and was sweeping fallen leaves in the autumn wind in the courtyard. Combined with his white robes, which had evolved from a mechanical device, he had quite the air of a young Taoist priest.

Su Lin withdrew his gaze and glanced at the messy main hall. Xu Zhenshu, who was beside him, was understanding and whispered to him, "Junior brother, you and Grandmaster wait for a moment. I will clean up here and make room for you to cultivate."

There are too few places in Xiaoyun Temple suitable for cultivation. Only the main hall is large enough, but it still needs further management and repair.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Su Lin shook her head, her gaze sweeping across the main hall inside and out. Li Xingtian leaned against the wall, drinking, and looked at Su Lin with interest: "Lin'er, are you planning to use Taoist magic to cleanse?"

He was very curious about the Taoist techniques that Su Lin had mastered and wanted to see what skills this kid had learned.

Li Xingtian looked at Su Lin with expectant eyes, only to see Su Lin raise his hand and slowly pull it from the air.

Open the warehouse and take out several smart home mechanical devices.

It's not magic! It's a prop!

Su Lin squatted down, adjusted the programs of seven or eight intelligent machines, set commands, and let them glide inside and outside the main hall to begin cleaning up the messy environment.

He had just finished doing all that when he looked up and met Li Xingtian's disappointed eyes, which seemed to say: You've already entered the world of cultivation, why are you still using technological means? What about the Dao techniques you've mastered?

“Grandpa, my methods are all related to killing and violence, so they are not very applicable to daily life.”

Su Lin explained in a low voice, and then took out several larger machines from the warehouse and placed them in the courtyard of Xiaoyun Temple.

"Brother Lu."

Su Lin called over Lu Zhouming and pointed to the machines: "The renovation of Xiaoyun Temple, both inside and out, will be handled by these machines. You should be able to use these technological items, right? Just supervise and guide them, and also do some design and planning for the new residential and training buildings."

"certainly."

Lu Zhouming looked at the machines, nodded with a smile, and decisively threw away the broom in his hand, starting to remotely control the various large machines.

Some people drove to the outside of the temple to collect rocks and trees, while others stayed in the courtyard to dismantle the dilapidated low walls.

Lu Zhouming is indeed very knowledgeable. It seems that he naturally has many architectural planning and design drawings in his mind, and he can start working immediately without thinking or planning.

In addition, Xiaoyun Temple is located deep in the mountainside, surrounded by greenery and towering rocks, and there is no shortage of various basic building materials.

"Junior brother, Linlin just reminded us that we should never use technological means unless absolutely necessary..."

Xu Zhenshu whispered a reminder from the side, and Su Lin looked at Lu Zhouming's remote control and said calmly, "She means to try not to show it in front of the NPCs. The game has just started, and there are no NPCs watching us nearby. This is one of the few suitable times to use technological items."

"Since she wants to use Xiaoyun Temple as the core to radiate the benefits of the entire game, she should take advantage of the present to plan Xiaoyun Temple well, so that it will not be appropriate to use technology to start construction when there are more NPCs in Xiaoyun Temple later."

Su Lin also had her own considerations and would not blindly listen to every word Xiao Linlin said. Their tacit understanding was about complementing each other's shortcomings, not rigid obedience.

Before long, the robots in the main hall had finished cleaning, clearing out the inner hall to serve as a temporary training room.

After placing the cleaning robots in the courtyard to assist Lu Zhouming, Su Lin took out several high-quality spirit stones from the cultivation resources Xiao Linlin had provided, and then took out a beginner's book on array formations from his pocket before entering the inner hall.

According to the description of the "Elementary Spirit Gathering Array" in the book, one should crush spirit stones and use spiritual energy to draw and inscribe the images onto the wall, the ground, and simultaneously place and adjust the spirit stones at the array's core.

Li Xingtian stood to the side, drinking his wine, occasionally offering pointers: "Lin'er, the second one on the left is crooked, move it half an inch to the right."

“The seventh line on the wall needs to be redrawn. The approach is correct, but the concentration of spiritual energy you inscribed with your fingertip spiritual light is insufficient. You used too little spiritual energy, so it cannot be channeled smoothly.”

"Under your feet, yes! Right there, see? The battle lines are broken there. There should be a metal object underground. It's a conflict of the five elements. Dig it out and throw it away."

Li Xingtian kept reminding Su Lin, and each time Su Lin would look up at him, then look down and continue reading the book, only correcting it in Li Xingtian's manner after confirming that it was correct.
