During the Body Forging Realm.
Li Zhuo experienced a heavy rain.
Even though the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan blocked him completely, not a single drop got through.
He was still in a very sorry state.
Because Li Zhuo's leveled core area was slightly lower than other places.
This caused all the water on the ground to pour into the core area.
Li Zhuo's Physical Body was strong, so he naturally wouldn't get sick.
But the feeling of being soaking wet all over made him very uncomfortable.
From then on.
Li Zhuo planned to build a bed or a house or something.
Unfortunately, he was busy with Body Forging at the time and didn't have any handy tools.
So the matter was dropped.
Now.
With enough wood and a few tools that were barely handy.
Li Zhuo was full of confidence.
He began to build his own small wooden house.
Li Zhuo had already chosen the location for the wooden house.
— The south side of the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan!
Backed by the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan, facing the shimmering lake.
It was the best residence.
Moreover.
Thanks to the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan's Realm increase, the Safe Zone, composed of the core area and the sheltered area, had expanded accordingly.
Even if Li Zhuo's house was slightly outside the tree canopy, it still belonged to the core area.
Enjoying the effect of 【Endless Life】.
No sooner said than done!
Li Zhuo took out the tools he had prepared.
While thinking about the appearance of the small wooden house, he cut the wood into suitable sizes.
Then he began to build a general framework.
According to Li Zhuo's plan.
The small wooden house being built this time was not large, only enough for one person to live in.
Therefore.
After only half a day.
Li Zhuo had already built the prototype of the small wooden house.
The small wooden house only had three walls, and each wall had a large window.
Then.
He planed many long wooden boards and built a bed in the small wooden house.
At this point.
The small wooden house was finally completed.
Although simple, it was enough to shelter from wind and rain.
Backed by the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan, facing the shimmering large lake.
The view was wide, and there was plenty of sunlight.
The distance to the calming spirit rose was also quite suitable, allowing him to fully enjoy the effect of 【Calming Qi and Soothing Spirit】.
Lying on the bed, with his arm as a pillow.
Li Zhuo felt extremely comfortable.
After resting for a while.
Li Zhuo sat up and suddenly found a small seedling growing in front of the wooden house.
The seedling swayed gently, extremely graceful.
It was a small seedling actively separated from the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan.
It wanted to protect the Immortal.
Li Zhuo smiled: "It's quite nice to have a potted green plant by the bed~"
The sapling swayed, emitting a soft sound: "It's only good to be able to grow by the Immortal's side~"
After resting for a while.
Li Zhuo ate half a snake and grilled a few shrimp.
Then he looked back at the remaining wooden boards.
He decided to clean up the core area thoroughly and lay down wooden boards.
To use it as his Cultivation place.
Stretching, he got to work!
The core area had already been cleaned quite thoroughly by him, with only slight unevenness.
Therefore.
Li Zhuo worked very quickly this time.
By the time it was dark.
The entire core area was covered with a layer of flat wooden boards.
Even the place closest to the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan was tidied up by Li Zhuo.
A circle of stones was placed, forming a large flower bed.
It didn't hinder the growth of the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan at all.
After finishing these tasks.
It was already late.
Li Zhuo didn't feel sleepy at all.
He sat cross-legged on the floor and began to Cultivate.
As he breathed.
The Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stone gradually transformed into magic power, continuously accumulating in his Dantian.
Although slow, it was still steadily increasing.
This feeling made Li Zhuo very happy.
"If I practiced the Qi Condensation Cultivation Technique of a Cultivation Family, I would probably need a day to complete a major heavenly cycle within my body."
"Now, with the very high-Rank and effortless Myriad Wood Evergreen Technique, I can complete this process in a few breaths."
"If measured solely by Cultivation speed, I am dozens of times faster than my eldest brother, who has the best Aptitude in the Li Family."
"In bottom-tier Families and small Immortal Cultivation Schools, I can be considered a true Genius."
He sighed.
Li Zhuo continued to Cultivate.
Until the sun completely set.
Li Zhuo finally let out a long breath.
Looking inward, the magic power in his Dantian had increased a little more.
And.
Because Spiritual Qi and magic power continuously flowed through his Meridians, all his Meridians became a little tougher.
All these changes made Li Zhuo feel very comfortable.
"I wonder what it's like for those Geniuses with first or second-grade Spiritual Roots when they Cultivate."
"With top-tier Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Formations, plus abundant Spiritual Qi, their Cultivation progress should be rapid, advancing a thousand miles a day."
"In comparison, I'm a bit pathetic."
"But with less ability comes less responsibility."
"When the sky falls, there are Geniuses to hold it up~"
"I'll just stay safely hidden in Wanshou Mountain."
"Carefree and at ease~"
"Hehe~"
Maintaining a relaxed and happy mental state.
Li Zhuo went to bed.
The suspended wooden plank bed below was naturally many times better than a dirt bed.
Completely free from the dampness, hardness, and coldness of the ground.
Lying on the wooden plank bed.
Listening to the occasional creak.
Li Zhuo fell into a deep sleep.
"Little Red said it found some land extension spirit grass, and will transplant them tomorrow."
"In that case, it will only take a month and a half to harvest spirit wheat."
"The bed board is still a bit hard, I'll ask Little Red to look for some small wild beasts nearby."
"Hunt them and make a fur mattress~"
"Sleep~"
After roughly arranging the tasks for tomorrow, Li Zhuo slept soundly.
Moonlight spilled onto the lake, occasionally sparkling with points of light.
Shimmering, it was incredibly beautiful.
A water bird flew diagonally across.
It plunged into the water with a splash, then immediately soared up.
But in its mouth was a fat fish.
A gentle breeze blew.
Leaves rustled.
It was a rare lullaby.
Early the next morning.
Li Zhuo stretched, got up as usual, and washed up.
He ate snake meat and fruits.
Then he began a new day of labor.
At this time.
Little Red was already waiting by the house.
It was holding a Spiritual Plant in its mouth.
Li Zhuo checked it, and it was indeed land extension spirit grass.
He praised Little Red greatly.
Then he modified its attributes and planted it in the field.
Immediately after.
He picked up the wooden ladle he had carved and instructed the Little Squirrel to water the field.
Since the Little Squirrel got that house.
It was completely obedient to Li Zhuo.
Li Zhuo estimated that given the Little Squirrel's personality.
This state wouldn't last too long.
So he would use it while he could.
The Little Squirrel naturally had no complaints at this time.
Happily holding a ladle several times larger than its body.
Watering little by little.
Meanwhile, Li Zhuo picked up the broken Jade Slip.
A two-star minor Divine Ability — Qing Ying Kui Bing!
After examining it carefully.
Li Zhuo sighed softly.
With his current Cultivation and magic power, he simply couldn't meet the requirements for Cultivation.
Unable to create his own Puppet Soldier.
"Cultivation is not urgent; it's better to proceed step by step... uh, how could I forget the Five Elements Fruit Tree!"
"Little Red, go pick a fruit!"
"If it's a pure wood-attribute spirit fruit, will it increase my Cultivation speed?"
