After the meeting, Lin Qianqian urged everyone to get some rest, as there was still a lot to do tomorrow.
Chu Zhou also stood up to leave, but Lin Qianqian stopped him and stretched out her hand in front of him.
Chu Zhou pushed up his glasses, tilted his head slightly, and pretended not to know Lin Qianqian's meaning, trying to get away with it.
"Stop pretending. You're so smart, how could you not know what I mean? Give it to me!"
She stood firm, extending her outstretched hand even further forward.
Yunze found it somewhat amusing to watch the two stubbornly refusing to yield an inch, but he did not intervene.
"Tch!" Chu Zhou scoffed, then took out two stones, one gold and one silver, and placed them in Lin Qianqian's hand before disappearing in an instant.
Lin Qianqian glanced in the direction Chu Zhou had left, pursed her lips, and looked down at the stone in her hand.
They were two gold and silver nuggets, each about the size of a baby's fist, but when you weighed them, something felt off; they weren't normal gold and silver.
"Wow! It's adamantite and mithril. It seems that adamantite and mithril are not very rare in this world."
Lin Qianqian was overjoyed to have discovered another wonderful item.
"The spiritual energy in this plane is too rich, so it's not surprising that there are such good things. Let's ask Chief Wolf Mountain tomorrow. Let's not think about it too much today."
Yunze checked the time; it was already very late.
A lot happened today. Although we are all cultivators, we have all worked hard in this cold and harsh weather. It's not easy for anyone.
Lin Qianqian knew that Yunze meant well for her, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
By the end of the day, her immortal cultivation body was still holding up, but she was somewhat mentally exhausted.
However, "Lin Lanlan, why are you still sitting on Yunze's shoulders? Are you coming back to our room to rest with us?"
The system spirit Lin Lanlan, who had been silent all along, had originally thought that Lin Qianqian and the others would definitely go into the space when they returned.
She hadn't yet visited their space in her living form! She wanted to take this opportunity to go and see, but her host didn't seem too keen on it.
"Hmph, no way, I'm going back to rest too."
After saying that, he flew up, preparing to enter the computer and access the system.
She stopped just as she was about to step into the screen. After thinking for a moment, she snapped her fingers, and a toy house nearly a meter tall flew down from the toy section upstairs.
Lin Lanlan placed the toy house next to the computer, then flew back to Lin Qianqian and reached out her hand with a righteous air.
"Host, give me some immortal crystals."
"Immortal Crystals? What do you need Immortal Crystals for?" Lin Qianqian asked curiously.
"Can't I just use it to play with or decorate my little house?"
"Lin Lanlan, are you getting too cocky? Those are immortal crystals, not spirit stones."
Lin Qianqian gently patted her small hand away.
"Playing with immortal crystals? Do you even know what those are? What kind of system is that extravagant?"
Lin Lanlan didn't care and reached out again, "I'm your system spirit. Making my life comfortable is what you, as the host, are supposed to do. Give it to me now!"
"you……"
Lin Qianqian was really angry. She had immortal crystals, but it was rare to see someone be so arrogant when asking others for things!
"You've really gotten too cocky! Go ask other systems how many hosts let them play with immortal crystals. Only I, though a mere cultivator, am wealthy enough to possess immortal crystals that are only used after becoming an immortal. But that doesn't mean you can become so rich that you're arrogant and don't treat immortal crystals as treasures. I'm the one who's wealthy, not you!"
"You stingy host."
"What did you say?"
Just as the two were about to have a big argument, Yunze spoke up.
"Stop arguing. Lin Lanlan has just acquired a body, so it's good for her to absorb some pure immortal energy to stabilize it."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of immortal crystals and handed them to Lin Lanlan.
"Speak your mind directly from now on, and don't deliberately upset Qianqian."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Lanlan both respected and feared Yun Ze, and could never muster any backbone in front of him.
Lin Lanlan snapped her fingers, and the fairy crystals floated up.
She turned around, grabbed the small pile of immortal crystals, and went to decorate her little house, not even sparing her host a glance.
Lin Qianqian complained to her back, "Who exactly is your host? You're not afraid of me at all, but you're afraid of Yun Ze instead."
After saying that, he asked Yunze, "Is Lanlan's body still unstable?"
"Well, her condition is a bit complicated, and I'm not entirely sure about it either."
Yunze pulled Lin Qianqian back to her room, and then the two of them flashed into the Primordial Realm.
Yunze took out a bottle and handed it to Lin Qianqian. Inside the bottle was a gray substance that faintly emitted a five-colored halo.
"Here, take this."
Lin Qianqian didn't take it. "Keep it with you for now. Give me some more after you've assimilated more."
"I'm afraid not."
"No? There are substances that the Primordial Source cannot assimilate?"
"Of course there is, after all, I haven't ascended to godhood yet. If one day I achieve godhood, the Primordial Realm will be upgraded again, and only then will it be possible to assimilate the origin. After all, every origin has complete laws. Assimilating matter is also a transformation and replication of the laws."
“The Primordial Source could even assimilate the Breath of Earth, so I thought this could be as well.”
"Although the Breath of Earth is a divine object, it is still not as advanced as this primordial essence."
"Oh, do you know what this origin is? The origin of the Five Elements or the origin of life?"
"Neither."
Yunze turned his head and whispered a few words in Lin Qianqian's ear.
...
The next day, when the mall doors opened, Wolf Mountain and several other tribal leaders were already waiting at the entrance with their orcs.
Luo Zexuan, who was the first to get up, checked the time. "Do orcs get up this early?"
Seeing that they were freezing, they quickly invited them in.
The mall is kept at a constant temperature all year round, and the orcs breathed a sigh of relief as soon as they entered.
Luo Zexuan led them into the conference room and had the robot serve them hot tea.
Then I sent a message in the employee group to tell them that the orcs had come to our door.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze had just left the space when they saw the message and replied to Luo Zexuan, telling him to talk to the beastmen first, as agreed yesterday.
Seeing Lin Qianqian's reply, Luo Zexuan didn't refuse and directly addressed the beastmen, saying, "Your main problems during the cold season are a lack of food and clothing, and a lack of means to keep warm. We discussed it yesterday, and in addition to providing you with appropriate food and clothing, the most important thing is to teach you how to build a heated kang (traditional heated platform bed) so that you can get through the winter. However, these are not free. After the cold season, you will need to find more crystals, bitter root grass, and many other things for us."
"My lord, what is a heated kang bed?"
After spending time together yesterday, the beastmen felt that the divine messenger was quite approachable, so they spoke more boldly and freely.
Luo Zexuan did not answer directly, but instead raised his hand and pressed something in his hand, and a projection appeared in front of the beastmen.
Watching the detailed explanation in the video, you can see how the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) is constructed and what its function is.
By the end, the beasts were visibly excited.
Several emotional individuals even burst into tears: "Oh, at least we won't freeze to death in the cold season anymore!"
"With this heated kang bed, my little cub will surely survive this cold season and grow into a beast."
"My female animal will never get sick again."
