Although Su Lin was in meditation, he could still hear Li Xingtian and Xu Zhenshu's conversation.

Su Lin understood the old man's good intentions better than anyone else, having already experienced them back in his time at Sword Pavilion.

Li Xingtian is not only a monstrous cultivator, but also an excellent teacher who is extremely good at educating people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to teach Su Qingyang, who can be called a little sword immortal, and he would have been able to forcibly pull him out of the demonic path.

Su Lin understood everything, but it was precisely because of this understanding that he cared even more about Li Xingtian's nonchalant breaking of the law.

Strong people are often proud and arrogant.

Su Lin admitted that Li Xingtian was much stronger than him, but he was absolutely unwilling to let his technique be broken so easily. He wanted to understand the shortcomings and willingly fell into Li Xingtian's trap.

Time was passing by, and Li Xingtian had already drunk three jugs of wine. He gazed out the window as the sun gradually set.

Before long, a flurry of footsteps could be heard outside the temple.

"Brother, I'm back!"

It was Xiao Linlin's voice. Xu Zhenshu hurriedly went out of the main hall to greet her, only to see Xiao Linlin smilingly directing the elves to carry the supplies into the temple from outside.

"Senior Sister Xu, where's my brother?"

"He is cultivating inside."

"Is Grandmaster coming too?"

"Our grandmaster is protecting us."

"oh."

Xiao Linlin nodded, not rushing to disturb the main hall, but instead searching for Lu Zhouming.

Soon, she found Lu Zhouming amidst the roar of machinery behind Xiaoyun Temple: "Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

"Ah? Of course, it's about doing chores."

Lu Zhouming poked his head out from the top of the machine, wearing a helmet he'd found somewhere, looking every bit the worker. He chuckled and said, "The master said he's going to renovate this place inside and out, and fix up many of the missing parts."

Xiaoyun Temple still has many shortcomings. In addition to the main hall, it lacks many basic facilities such as accommodation, toilets, kitchens, wells, and meditation areas.

For Su Lin's team, this was not a big project. The warehouse was filled with all kinds of advanced technology facilities purchased by Xiao Linlin. Even using the roughest materials such as rocks and wood, they could build a small sect with all its internal organs.

"Okay, but we only have ten days at most."

Xiao Linlin, with her hands behind her back, gave instructions, and Lu Zhouming nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, five days will be enough."

After saying that, he pulled his head back and continued fiddling with the machine.

After returning to the courtyard, Xiao Linlin instructed seven or eight elves to stop their work and disperse to guard against outsiders outside the temple.

Now that we've decided to settle here, all the necessary equipment for the outpost is essential, and patrols, guard posts, traps, and so on must be set up as soon as possible.

As darkness fell and the last rays of the setting sun faded, Jia Zhengyi, Lyanna, and Elrei's team returned one after another.

When everyone returned to the team, they brought back a lot of local supplies from outside.

Of course, these things are not very rare. Most of them are basic necessities for clothing, food, shelter and transportation. The more precious ones are only the local basic cultivation methods and low-grade spirit stones.

Xu Zhenshu helped process the supplies, and picked up a few local spirit stones, asking curiously, "These things seem similar to the cultivation resources that Junior Brother usually keeps, but they seem to be of lower quality?"

"This is the hard currency in most cultivation worlds. It is a natural creation containing spiritual energy. It looks like a mineral, but it does not belong to mineral products."

Xiao Linlin raised her eyelids and introduced with a smile, as if reciting a familiar story: "In the cultivation system, the shops also provide these resources and items, but most of them are high-quality items. The system is quite good in this respect; at least it doesn't cheat or swindle us."

"The one in Senior Sister's hand is a low-grade spirit stone, and this one is a mid-grade spirit stone. They are essential for the cultivation of local cultivators and are considered hard currency, which is a kind of strategic resource."

"And this piece is a cultivation resource that my brother often uses. A piece the size of a fist is worth the equivalent of a high-grade spirit stone the size of a basketball in the local world."

"Although my brother's spirit stone is also considered a high-grade spirit stone in terms of its mechanism, it is much better than the local ones in terms of both quality and size. It is a fine example of a high-grade spirit stone."

"As for the spirit stones that my brother arranged in the main hall, they are of a higher grade. They are excellent spirit stones, also known as semi-immortal stones, with a higher and purer spiritual energy content. We have not yet found similar items in our native world."

Xiao Linlin paused, then explained, "We were able to buy so many things this time thanks to the fact that we naturally brought our own currency. The economic system of the cultivation world is very willing to accept the barter system."

"Of course, if we were to seriously consider the price ratios quoted by reporters, we might have been ripped off during our previous purchases, but it doesn't matter... we just need to settle down first, and my brother's family is very wealthy, so we're not afraid of being ripped off."

Just as Xiao Linlin was introducing the details of the local world to Xu Zhenshu, a male voice suddenly came from behind.

"When did Linlin become someone who's willing to suffer losses?"

"Hey, brother!"

Xiao Linlin turned around in surprise, smiling as she looked at Su Lin standing in front of the main hall: "Are you awake? How did your cultivation go? What's the concentration of spiritual energy in this world like?"

"Not bad, much better than the previous match world."

Su Lin nodded and walked into the crowd in the courtyard. They were processing and sorting the purchased supplies, which were being continuously put into use at Xiaoyun Temple.

"I think so too, after all, the mainstream system here is cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao, which perfectly matches my brother's system."

Xiao Linlin nodded and smiled as she answered Su Lin's teasing earlier: "Of course, I'm not as petty as you think, brother. This time I specifically exchanged a lot of local spirit stones, and I did suffer a little loss."
