Chapter 223 - Changes
Various ores and spiritual materials filled the weapon forging workshop, enough for Tie Niu and his disciples to forge better weapons and equipment.
Ordinary spiritual herbs and fruits were rewarded to all disciples according to their merits, including those who were new to the sect.
The entire Guixu Sect was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest and a vibrant atmosphere. With resources more abundant than ever before, every disciple benefited tangibly, and their enthusiasm for cultivation was at an all-time high.
Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao returned to the main hall and dismissed their attendants.
Xie Zhao collapsed on the soft cushion without any image and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally I'm back! Home is so comfortable!"
Chu Linyuan walked over to him and sat down, his fingers gently brushing the faint tiredness under his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Zhao grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "What's the point of working so hard? You've gained so much! Senior Brother, I have a feeling that after this secret realm, many disciples will have breakthroughs. Our sect's overall strength will be greatly improved!"
"Yeah." Chu Linyuan looked at the busy and hopeful sect scene outside the hall, and a hint of warmth reflected in his cold eyes, "It's not enough."
He withdrew his gaze and fell on Xie Zhao's smiling face. He leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Now, it's time to settle...our accounts."
Xie Zhao blushed, and seeing the familiar dark fire in his eyes, his heartbeat accelerated, but he deliberately raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What does Grand Master Chu want to do?"
Before he could finish his words, his lips were blocked.
Spring is gradually coming to the fore inside the hall, while outside, the powerful war machine of Guixu Sect, nourished by abundant resources, is quietly speeding up its operation, waiting for its next take-off.
The next morning, Xie Zhao woke up to a subtle, itchy sensation.
He opened his eyes drowsily and found that the iron-eating beast cub named Gungun was rubbing its furry head against his chin, making "hmm" sounds, as if it was hungry.
"Um... stop it..." Xie Zhao mumbled vaguely, and subconsciously wanted to turn over, but it caused the soreness in his waist to arise, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss". Some intense and lingering scenes from last night instantly flooded into his mind, making his ears slightly hot.
The seat beside him was empty; Chu Linyuan had clearly already stood up. Xie Zhao rubbed his lower back, then resigned himself to his fate and pulled out a few spiritual fruits from his storage bag, stuffing them into Gungun. The little creature immediately embraced them and began to nibble contentedly.
After a simple wash, Xie Zhao carried Gungun out of the main hall, intending to go to the medicine garden to check out the newly brought back spiritual herbs, and by the way, ask Luo Hongyi for some ointment to relieve the back pain.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the palace, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he stood there in a daze, and even forgot to feed the baby in his arms.
"This...is this our sect?" Xie Zhao could hardly believe his eyes.
The Immortal-killing Square, which was originally a little empty and had a wild atmosphere, has changed drastically.
The square is still paved with black rock, but it has obviously been carefully polished, and the edges are inlaid with glowing runes, which makes it both solid and beautiful.
Around the square, many new buildings stood in an orderly manner. They were no longer simple and crude stone houses, but pavilions with flying eaves, pointed corners, carved beams and painted buildings!
Although the overall style still carries the unique coldness and abyss elements of Guixu Sect, the design is exquisite and the layout is reasonable. It blends perfectly with the original Fuzhen Tower and Baicao Dan Pavilion, forming a magnificent and unique architectural complex.
What is even more refreshing is that the sect is no longer just bare black rocks.
Greenery can be seen everywhere! Tall trees with leaves like black jade dot the sides of the road;
Various flowers with exotic luster bloom in the carefully planned flower beds;
Verdant vines covered the newly built corridors and the supports of the pavilion, hanging down strands of vitality;
There were even several clear streams that were channeled into the sect, meandering through the water, with small, exquisite arch bridges built across them! The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, grass, and moist water vapor, cleverly neutralizing the cold and murderous aura unique to the abyss, creating a unique and comfortable environment for cultivation.
"Oh my god..." Su Tang exclaimed from the side. She had obviously just come out as well, holding up the photo stone. Her psychic eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open in an O shape. "This... this is exactly like the top sect in the fairy-tale game I played before! No! It's even better than that! Who did this? It's amazing!"
She excitedly babbled incoherently at the photo stone: "The sect has been completely renovated! Pavilions and towers! Bridges and flowing water! The greenery! The layout! It's amazing! This is not the Abyss Sect, this is simply a fairyland villa!"
At this moment, Bai Xiaolu, holding Rabbit, walked down a path lined with tiny blue flowers with the blue-robed Saint Yun Zhi. Seeing Xie Zhao and Su Tang, Bai Xiaolu happily trotted over, "Brother Xie! Sister Su! You're up! How's it going? The sect has changed a lot, hasn't it?"
"It's more than just a huge transformation..." Xie Zhao finally came to his senses and exclaimed in amazement, "It's like rebuilding an entire sect! Xiaolu, who planned this? Does Uncle Chen have such a good taste?"
Bai Xiaolu chuckled softly, covering her mouth with her hands. "Most of this was done by Uncle Chen and his outer disciples. After you left, Uncle Chen seemed to suddenly get excited and ordered everyone to demolish and build, and even transplanted a lot of strange plants from the outer reaches of the abyss. Sister Yunzhi also helped a lot. She knows a lot about formation layouts and the habits of spiritual plants. She also helped come up with ideas about which plants look best and can best gather spiritual energy."
Yun Zhi, who was standing by, smiled faintly when she heard this, and nodded slightly to Xie Zhao and Su Tang: "I'm just doing my best. Sister Xiaolu and Guixu Sect saved my life, and I'm very happy to be able to help." Her voice was like a clear spring hitting jade, very pleasant to the ear.
"Fairy Yunzhi is too polite!" Xie Zhao hurriedly bowed, "We should be the ones thanking you! Your craftsmanship is amazing!" He admired it sincerely. The new look of the sect was both grand and exquisite, which simply suited his aesthetic taste.
