Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 118: After working hard for several years, I am not as good as you in one night...

This is not a nest of earth, it is clearly a nest of gold!

A smile appeared on Lin Mo's face, and suddenly these dilapidated earthen houses became a "holy place for cultivation" in his eyes.

You should know that this adds an additional 10% to the already rich spiritual energy of the spiritual world.

Moreover, the spiritual energy bonus is permanent. As long as he is here for one day, he can enjoy it for one day.

If he had not yet taken a close look at his own "cave", he would even want to sit cross-legged on the spot and experience the speed of cultivation in the spiritual world.

Lin Mo resisted the urge to sit in meditation and walked around first. He found that except for the mud house, the whole house was deserted and there was nothing.

The several mud houses were also dilapidated and old, and it was unknown when they were built.

Although the house has basic facilities such as a living room, beds, tables, chairs and benches, the decoration looks like it was from two or three centuries ago.

Even the stove is the most old-fashioned wood-burning stove.

"Haha, now Chu Wange can really use cypress wood to grill meat."

Lin Mo first complained, then muttered:
"Where is this guy now? Is he trying to rank up in the sword arena?"

He shrugged and didn't think too much about it. There were a lot of things to do after getting started.

Even his schedule for tomorrow and for many days to come has been fully arranged, with no space at all, and the same is true for Chu Wange.

He stroked his chin, looked at the dusty bed, and thought:

"Go to the logistics department tomorrow to get some blankets and other things. It will be enough..."

"Ding dong~!"

The doorbell rang at the door.

When Lin Mo walked out of the mud house, he saw a familiar figure standing outside the fence.

"Senior Sister Zhuang!"

His eyes lit up and he walked over.

Zhuang Weiwan was standing by the fence wearing a blue Taoist robe, her hair casually tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, a few strands of black hair playfully hanging down from her ears, swaying gently in the breeze.

As the sunset fell over the valley, her slightly pale skin was tinged with a circle of glow and a slight blush appeared on her face.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

When she saw Lin Mo coming out, a gentle smile appeared on her face:

"I just remembered that you just arrived here and didn't bring anything with you, so I came to bring you some daily necessities."

Lin Mo quickly opened the door that seemed to be useless, with a bright smile on his face:
"Senior sister, I am so touched. Come in, come in. How did you find this place?"

When mentioning this, Zhuang Weiwan showed a hint of resentment in his expression and said:

"I learned your address from the registry..."

I almost forgot and didn't tell her that I have a spiritual vein!

Lin Mo laughed dryly and said, "I just wanted to tell Senior Sister after everything was settled down, didn't I?"

Zhuang Weiwan smiled, but didn't really care. Instead, he looked around the house with a hint of surprise:
"Junior Brother Lin, the treatment for the recommended students in your class is really good. This spiritual vein cave is very valuable. I have saved up contribution points for several years, but I am still short of a part of it."

A spiritual residence is worth at least 10 low-grade spiritual stones, which is about the same amount when converted into contribution points...

Dan Xiu really makes a lot of money!
Lin Mo sighed in his heart, then smiled bitterly and said:

"The spiritual vein is good, but the cost of building a cave is not cheap."

He told him the price of building the cave he had just learned. Zhuang Weiwan hesitated for a moment and said:

"As far as the materials for the spirit gathering array and the cultivation of the spirit field are concerned... this price is indeed not expensive."

"I also know about this Dan Er San. The senior brother from the Alchemy Academy also hired their renovation team to renovate his cave. They have a good reputation in the Taoist Academy."

You really didn’t cheat me... Lin Mo frowned a little more.

However, the priority right now is to gather some spirit stones to build the spirit gathering array. As for the spirit field, that can be put aside for now.

He was thinking about it in his mind, but Zhuang Weiwan's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Junior brother, why don't you rent the cave to me?"

"Rent a cave?"

"To be precise, it should be renting part of it." Zhuang Weiwan's eyes showed a little light, and he continued:
"I just happen to need a spiritual field for planting, and you happen to have a spiritual vein, so I can prepay a sum of money in advance as the rental fee."

Senior Sister Zhuang, you are such a genius!
Lin Mo almost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It has to be said that Zhuang Weiwan's proposal kills two birds with one stone.

Lin Mo, who owns a spiritual vein but is unable to make use of it, is like a landlord who owns a gold mine but is unable to mine it.

Especially the spirit gathering array, which is naturally the most important thing for him at the moment.

If one accumulates spirit stones step by step, perhaps it will take more than a year for one to collect enough money for the spirit gathering array, just like the errand disciple he met at the registration office before.

You know, his [Golden Light of Heaven] will only last for a few months.

If you don't make good use of the merits during this period to improve your cultivation, after a few months, your cultivation efficiency will drop by another 10%.

Mainly because Chu Wange, Chen Xuanzhi and others were on the Liangyu List, which made him inexplicably anxious.

During the time he spent at Wudao Cliff, he understood a truth.

When practicing with these geniuses, make sure you don’t fall too far behind.

Once you fall behind by more than a certain range, it will be very difficult to catch up with the opponent.

Just like Yu Hongxi who entered the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform after Chu Wange ascended, and the geniuses who entered the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform later.

In fact, their talents are not that different from those of Ji Feng and others.

However, after more than a month of enlightenment, the gap between them became as huge as a chasm, and they became geniuses of two different levels.

Even though Ji Feng is ranked the last, his progress is still far ahead of latecomers like Yu Hongxi.

Less than a day after entering the Lingxu Realm, Lin Mo already had a vague intuition that the "grading" of the Enlightenment Cliff would be more vividly reflected in the Qingshan Sect.

After all, genius is just the threshold to enter Qingshan Sect.

Only a true monster can continue to climb upwards!
Zhuang Weiwan didn't know what he was thinking about, his face flushed, and he said:

"But if that's the case, I may have to move my residence here, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a long time in the future."

Isn't this better?
There is also free "sleeping incense" to smell at night... Lin Mo said in his heart, "I'm sorry":

"I'm fine, but if I do this, I'll be owing you a big favor, which is really a bit embarrassing."

Zhuang Weiwan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's a mutually beneficial thing. Junior brother, you have to be busy with the novice tasks during this period, right?"

Lin Mo nodded, and she continued:

"How about this, I'll take two days off and leave the matters in the cave to me temporarily, provided you trust me..."

Lin Mo took a look at these dilapidated earthen houses and thought, what else is there to worry about?
Is it possible to move the spiritual vein away?
The foundation of this spiritual vein is the sect's fourth-order large spiritual vein. Apart from the Qingshan Sect's Sect Master, who else would dare to take action against this spiritual vein? "Senior Sister, given our relationship, how can I not trust you?"

Lin Mo said to her sincerely, then pointed to the wasteland in the mansion and said:

"From now on, you are half the mistress of this cave, and all the affairs of the cave will be left to you to manage!"

Hearing his words, Zhuang Weiwan's blush became more obvious, but he said in a gentle but firm tone:

"Don't worry, Junior Brother, I will help you deal with the cave affairs, and you won't suffer any loss!"

"That's settled then!" Lin Mo smiled and nodded, then looked at the slowly disappearing sunset glow and said, "It's getting late, let's go in and sleep... Ah, Senior Sister, why don't you stay here for one night?"

"Wake up tomorrow so that we can deal with the cave affairs?"

Zhuang Weiwan hummed softly and did not reject the proposal.

After saying that, she walked into the earthen house with quick steps, cast a dust-cleansing spell in her hand, and began to clean up the dust in the house, then took out new bedding and daily necessities from the storage ring.

Lin Mo looked at her busy figure in the house, stroked his chin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
It’s nice to have a woman in the house!

……

……

The next morning.

Lin Mo thought he got up early, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Weiwan got up even earlier than him.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window of the earthen house into the living room, casting a faint holy light on the plump figure.

For a moment, he looked a little dazed.

After a moment, Zhuang Weiwan's voice reached his ears:

"Junior Brother Lin, are you awake? This is the spiritual food I bought. You haven't started fasting yet, right? Eat something before you go out."

Lin Mo looked at the food on the table and a faint fragrance wafted over.

She said in a gentle tone:

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some of them, including lotus root soup, sweet dew rice wine, and a few pieces of Xianshifang's signature Lingyu cakes."

Senior Sister Zhuang, you seem to be too outstanding!
Lin Mo nodded silently, sat down at the table, picked up the soup and took a sip.

"Gudong~!"

As the hot soup entered his stomach, the rich spiritual energy flowed through his taste buds, and his empty stomach suddenly felt warm.

Very fragrant~!

Lin Mo's eyes lit up and he began to drink up the wine.

Zhuang Weiwan looked at him like this and smiled knowingly, as if he was really the good wife and mother of this family.

"Senior Sister Zhuang, don't you want to eat?"

He looked at the other person curiously, just sitting at the table without picking up his chopsticks.

Zhuang Weiwan showed a hint of shyness on his face and said:

"I, I've been fasting recently. I've been sitting for a long time every day to make pills. I haven't exercised for a long time, so I've consumed less energy. Junior brother, don't worry about me."

Losing weight... Lin Mo understood immediately and was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

“Ding dong ding dong~!”

Zhuang Weiwan stood up from the dining table and said with a smile:

"It should be the construction team I arranged to meet with."

Lin Mo was surprised: "Such a high efficiency!"

"Of course, in Qingshan Sect, time is like a spirit stone. For cultivation, not a single day can be wasted!"

Zhuang Weiwan pushed open the door of the earthen house, and Lin Mo just happened to see Shan Ersan standing outside the fence.

The latter naturally noticed his presence, and first a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, then a "men all understand" smile appeared on his face, and he gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Mo: “…”

About half an hour later.

Lin Mo, Zhuang Weiwan, Shan Ersan and others quickly decided on the decoration plan and a series of pricing matters in the house.

Zhuang Weiwan did not hesitate and immediately took out five hundred low-grade spirit stones from his storage ring as a deposit.

Seeing her act so generously, Dan Ersan's pupils trembled, and the look he gave Lin Mo became even more ambiguous.

Lin Mo also felt that the situation was a bit awkward, and coughed and said:

"Senior Sister Zhuang, I'm sorry to bother you here. I have to go do the mission."

Zhuang Weiwan smiled calmly and said:

"Go ahead, I'll take care of this place, don't worry."

"By the way, you can carry the Lingyu Cake with you. It's easy to eat, and one piece can last you a whole day."

Lin Mo nodded, went back to the earthen house and put away the Lingyu cake on the table. After tidying it up, he walked out the door.

Shan Ersan just happened to come over and smiled at him:
"Junior brother, you are quite capable. Yesterday I was guessing that it would take you another year or so to build the cave house, but I didn't expect that you have already started the construction today."

Having said that, he looked up and down at Lin Mo's appearance and said:

"People really can't be compared. I worked so hard for several years, but I'm not as good as you in one night."

Lin Mo held his forehead and said, "Brother, Senior Sister Zhuang and I are just doing a normal transaction. It's a house..."

"I understand, I understand. No need to say more!"

Before he could finish, Shan Ersan interrupted him with a frown. Then he looked at Lin Mo's outfit and asked:

"Junior brother, are you going to do the novice mission? Did you visit all the teleportation points yesterday?"

Lin Mo nodded, and he continued:

"In that case, I recommend that you go to the Purple Bamboo Forest or the Poison Miasma Valley first. These are the two most popular leveling points for novices to build their foundation."

"If you don't have any anti-poison pills, then you should prioritize clearing the Purple Bamboo Forest."

"First, you can complete tasks to earn contribution points. Second, if you are lucky, you can get some materials and earn more."

Lin Mo restrained his expression and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Shan Ersan smiled indifferently, raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhuang Weiwan who was studying the decoration drawings in the courtyard, and said with a smile:
"I'm just saying something. She's a wealthy lady in the Alchemy Academy and a frequent guest on the Alchemy Ranking! How could you be short of this little money?"

Lin Mo: “…”

You misunderstood, brother, we are just a simple landlord and tenant relationship!
