Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At the exact center of the hall stood a Sect Master's throne carved from blue stone.

On the wall behind the throne was embedded a giant glowing stone, emitting a soft white light that illuminated the entire hall, making the whole place radiant.

To the east of the Main Hall was the Cangjing Ge.

It was a three-story pavilion-style building, constructed entirely from moisture- and insect-resistant nanmu wood.

This wood naturally repelled insects, making it most suitable for storing classics.

The pavilion's windows were not wooden windows, but were polished from transparent spirit crystals, allowing light in while blocking moisture.

The bookshelves inside were also made of nanmu wood, arranged in layers and categories, storing cultivation methods, talismans, pill formulas, and other different areas.

On the top floor, a small Spirit Gathering Array was specially set up, which could nourish the classics and also provide cultivators consulting the classics with a cultivation environment rich in spiritual energy.

To the west of the Main Hall, disciple residences, cultivation rooms, Lian Dan Fang, and Artifact Refining Room were distributed side by side.

The disciple residences were a row of neat wing rooms, each adopting a "one bright, two dark" layout, with the bright room for living, and the dark rooms serving as cultivation corners and storage rooms respectively.

The walls were engraved with simple Spirit Gathering Patterns, ensuring abundant spiritual energy indoors.

Small courtyards were opened in front of the wing rooms, where disciples could dry spirit herbs and sit in meditation to regulate their breath.

The cultivation rooms utilized natural karst caves within the valley, widening and regularizing the interiors, and embedding more glowing ore stones on the cave walls to keep the caves bright all year round.

The clear spring in the depths of the karst cave was channeled indoors, excavating a small Spirit Spring Pool, where one could sit cross-legged by the poolside and cultivate with the rich spiritual energy of the spirit spring, with efficiency far exceeding that of ordinary stone rooms.

Lian Dan Fang was chosen at a well-ventilated mountain depression, with walls made of heat-resistant Chiyang wood, smoke vents set on the roof, and a pill furnace built from Earth Fire Stones inside, surrounded by Fire Gathering Patterns to precisely control the fire.

The Artifact Refining Room was adjacent to Lian Dan Fang, with refining tables made of refined iron and spirit jade placed inside, and shock-absorbing Spirit Glue Wood embedded in the wall corners to prevent spiritual power shocks generated during artifact refining.

During construction, the cultivators deliberately selected spirit vines from the valley to twine around the beams, pillars, and eaves of the halls; once the spirit vines survived, they could block the scorching sun and bloom with purple small flowers.

Xu Zhangqing occasionally gave pointers, such as adding a Protective Array on the top floor of Cangjing Ge, and integrating a trace of his own magic power into the spirit patterns of the Main Hall, making the whole thing both practical and protective.

Han Su came to an empty space near the Spiritual Vein; he first measured the distance, then formed hand seals with both hands and chanted incantations, and yellow spiritual light immediately rippled across the ground.

The originally hard land gradually became soft, and was then divided into one Spirit Field after another.

Due to environmental reasons, the Spirit Fields here were close to Grade Three.

Therefore, the quality of Spirit Rice and spirit plants would be very high in the future.

Xu Linshan and Lin Xiaoman held spirit tools and patrolled within the valley.

The small demons within the valley were mostly spirit rabbits, spirit deer, and the like, with gentle temperaments; upon seeing everyone, they fled in all directions and posed no threat.

The two quickly completed a patrol, and after confirming there was no danger, they also joined the team building houses.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze fell on the source of the Spiritual Vein, and he calculated in his mind: "After the halls and Spirit Fields are built, I will set up a Spirit Gathering Array above the Spiritual Vein to further increase the concentration of spiritual energy."

The narrowness of the Valley Entrance is a hidden danger; a Defensive Array can be set up at the Valley Entrance.

Qingxi Valley was bustling with activity, but the underground of Dongting Immortal Sect was not peaceful either.

Deep in the Spiritual Vein, a crack quietly appeared.

Black mist permeated the crack, and faint low roars came from within, like whispers from the Abyss.

This crack appeared extremely hidden, but existed for a very short time, and was soon wrapped by a thick Yellow Qi.

Earth Pulse Abyss Master Shi Yuan appeared, his brow tightly furrowed: "Unexpectedly, it still appeared..."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

With everyone working together, the construction of Qingxi Valley was basically completed.

A Main Hall named Lingqu Hall was built within the valley, with disciple residences, cultivation rooms, Lian Dan Fang, Artifact Refining Room, and others distributed on both sides.

All were built from ancient wood, perfectly blending with the environment of the valley.

The Spirit Fields near the Spiritual Vein were also reclaimed, totaling over one hundred mu.

Water Channels crisscrossed, drawing water from the clear stream for irrigation.

A "Yin-Yang Displacement Array" was set up at the Valley Entrance.

During the day, the power of the Sun was drawn to strengthen the defense; at night, the power of Taiyin was borrowed to conceal the aura.

If outsiders intruded, they would not only lose their way but also trigger the 'Yin-Yang Illusion Array' within the array, where what they saw was completely opposite to reality.

On the surface, this was a high-level array Xu Zhangqing requested from the Immortal Sect, but in reality, it was actually designed by a female earth for him.

Only those carrying the Lingqu Sect Token on their person could approach.

Ordinary people who intruded would lose their way, while cultivators containing magic power and spiritual power fluctuations would be trapped.

And not only that, Xu Zhangqing next planned to set up a Teleportation Array, so that if any sudden situation arose, the people inside could quickly transfer.

Looking at the brand new Qingxi Valley before her eyes, Ruo Qunshuang's eyes also carried a touch of relief: "It's finally built."

During this period, she worked day and night, having to coordinate construction matters and plan the future development of the sect; although hard, she was also full of a sense of achievement.

Xu Zhangqing took her tender little hand: "Frost Sister, you've worked hard."

Next, Lingqu Sect would be able to officially operate.

By the way, how is the distribution of forces nearby?

Speaking of which, although he had looked at the situation of the garrison, he had not understood the situation of the surroundings.

Ruo Qunshuang nodded, took out a Spirit Talisman from her Storage Bag; as spiritual light flashed, a map appeared before her eyes: "There are no Large Sects around Qingxi Valley, only three Medium Sects and five Small Sects."

The three Medium Sects are Yufeng Sect, Bishui Hall, and Jinshi Ge respectively.

Not far from us, not near either — close enough to interact, but not so close as to cause friction. »

Xu Zhangqing smiled: «We don't seek trouble, but we don't fear it either. »

Ruo Qunshuang nodded slightly and continued: «Three hundred li from Qingxi Valley lies Qingxi Town, the largest town nearby. »

Many cultivators and mortals live in the town, and there is a trading market. »

Our spirit rice, spirit plants, and spirit talismans can all be transported to Qingxi Town for sale. »

Xu Zhangqing looked at the map: «This location is excellent — it avoids sect competition while providing sufficient buffer space. »

Next, I will report Lingqu Sect to the Immortal Sect. »

After reporting, we will not only receive protection, but also additional channels. »

Ruo Qunshuang put away the spirit talisman, and the map vanished instantly: «I'll have to trouble Qing Ge to make a trip. »

Xu Zhangqing drew her into his arms and said softly: «Tomorrow I will return to the Immortal Sect and report Lingqu Sect to the sect elders. »

However, I also serve as Acting Peak Master of Qingmu Peak, so I cannot stay at Lingqu Sect for long. »

In the future, the daily management here will be hard on you. »

Ruo Qunshuang's eyes were firm: «You handle Qingmu Peak affairs with peace of mind; Lingqu Sect has me. »

She was the daughter of the Sect Master of Jiuqu Sect and had considerable experience in sect management. »

As long as it's not a major problem, basically everything can be solved. »

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing felt warmth in his heart and pulled her into the room!
