Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The island Wei Wuxian chose was already the largest island here. It was not only covered with green plants, but also had several springs bubbling up from the ground.

Wei Wuxian then pulled Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying to show off, "There are five springs on this island, and the three in the middle all emit spiritual water. I have already planned it. I will choose one with a smaller amount of water and set up a formation to change the spring water into a cold spring like the one in the Cloud Recesses."

Spiritual springs are hard to come by, but Wei Wuxian found three of them as soon as he looked for them. He was so happy.

When Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying came to visit him, he suggested that they choose one of the spiritual springs facing the pier.

"Look, this spiritual spring flows out from the cliff, passing through a large bamboo forest. After being nourished by the spiritual spring for a long time, this bamboo forest has gradually developed some spirituality. Anyway, you don't have much time to live here, so how about I give you a two-story bamboo house?"

Although this bamboo forest faces the direction of the pier, it actually has some undulations going down in the middle. At least the place Wei Wuxian chose to build the small bamboo house is completely hidden by the trees. Jiang Cheng took a look and felt quite satisfied, especially since there was a small pool of water next to it that was naturally formed by the spring water flowing down.

Shi Ying also thought it was good and thanked him directly: "Thank you very much, Master Wei. We all like this arrangement very much."

Wei WuXian was in a good mood and took out a few sketches from his chest. "Take a look at them. Do you like the style with flying eaves and upturned corners, or the more square and stable style like this?"

Wei Wuxian felt that he had benefited a lot from Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying, and he didn't know how to repay such a friendship, so he could only start with these things.

Shi Ying understood Wei Wuxian's intention and carefully looked at the several sketches he brought out. In the end, she chose a round building with a large terrace.

Wei Wuxian saw that Shi Ying had indeed chosen the sketch with the platform extending out, and immediately praised Wen Qing excitedly: "Half of these sketches were drawn by me, and the other half were drawn by Wen Qing. Before I came, she said that you would definitely like this kind with a platform. She was really right."

Then he carefully put away the sketch that Shi Ying had chosen and asked, "What kind of wooden household items do you like? There isn't much else in Lingnan, but there is a lot of wood. Now, thanks to the two of you, we also have a large storage bag to use, so it will be much easier to transport the wood."

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of wood chip samples that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag. "These are all very hard materials, all sandalwood, and the fragrance they emit is also very pleasant, but the color is a bit dark; although the hardness of these woods is not as good as sandalwood, the color is lighter, and they are also rare materials in the Central Plains; and these few are purely for the sake of beautiful color, and the hardness is definitely not a big deal, but it is easy for people like us to replace them."

The three of them squatted together on the rock that had been washed clean by the rain, forming a circle, and looked at the various small pieces of wood lined up in the middle. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at Wei Wuxian with admiration: "Not bad, Master Wei, it's not that there is no gain from the large-scale construction during this period. At least you have figured out the process of woodworking!"

Wei WuXian patted his chest confidently, "That's a lot of proficiency!"

"Although most of the islands in the middle of the lake are surrounded by water, the waves in the lake are actually quite strong. Fortunately, we are all cultivators. We can set up a few protective formations to resist the strong winds. Otherwise, even if ordinary people found this place, how could they live here properly?"

These are all the traps that his Yiling ancestor had fallen into!

Of course, he would never tell anyone about these bad things.

Jiang Cheng chuckled and looked at Shi Ying without saying anything, but his intention to watch a good show was too obvious, and Wei Wuxian almost got angry out of embarrassment. It was only when Shi Ying changed the subject and said that the various household items and decorations in the house might as well be made of local materials and weaved from the bamboos in the bamboo forest behind that Wei Wuxian finally managed to save some face.

Most of the people working on this island are puppets, especially the heavy work such as carrying wood, digging foundations, and leveling the land, which are all done by puppets. Even though Wei Wuxian has many tricks, he doesn't dare to let too many people come up to work.

As for Wen Qing, she didn't like the overly humid climate in Lingnan because the elderly in her family couldn't stand it. But there were many places in Lingnan that were rarely visited by people, and she could collect many spiritual herbs. She really didn't want to leave for the time being, so while Wei Wuxian was still building the house, she went to the mountains almost every day.

Little Ayuan has grown up a lot and has started to practice seriously. The progress is very encouraging. He can also go out to collect herbs with Wen Qing every day. However, he misses his two cheap masters Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying very much.

The power struggle on the Jinling stage finally came to an end. First, Jiang Wanyin gave the marrow cleansing recipe in his hand only to Jin Ling, ignoring the other members of the Jin family, which greatly lost Jin Guangshan's face. Then, news came from the Nie and Lan families that they had obtained the marrow cleansing recipe sent by Jiang Wanyin, and that Nie Huaisang's aptitude was as good as that of a dog after the marrow cleansing. His cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and he was on the verge of forming a golden elixir.

Jin Guangshan could no longer hold back and tried to contact Xue Yang directly, hoping to stir up some trouble and put the blame on the Yunmeng Jiang family.

However, Xue Yang's situation at this moment was not good. He was just unlucky, or maybe he deserved it because of his many evil deeds.

When Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen, who came out of Baixue Temple, were exorcising evil spirits in Yicheng, they happened to run into Xue Yang driving the corpses to harm innocent people. However, they were the ones who had tried the marrow cleansing recipe in Baixue Temple, so their cultivation was naturally much better.

Although Xue Yang took out all the corpses in Yicheng and refined them into puppets without mercy, his cultivation was just that level. In fact, the number of puppets he could control was small, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. So even though Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan spent a little time, they finally captured Xue Yang and brought him to justice.

It wasn't that the two of them wanted to spare Xue Yang's life, but they took into consideration what Wei Wuxian had told them before, that Xue Yang must have been behind Wen Ning's loss of control and killing of Jin Zixuan at Jinling Terrace that day.

So the two of them directly tied Xue Yang up and took him to Qinghe Impure World, just to let the Immortal Supervisor Nie Mingjue clear Wei Wuxian's name.

Xue Yang was of course unwilling to surrender and escaped twice, but was caught by Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan each time. He finally arrived at the unclean world safely and came to Nie Mingjue.

Nie Mingjue didn't mean to stand on Wei Wuxian's side. After all, he was a little afraid of the ghost flute Chen Qing in Wei Wuxian's hand, but his character was indeed not comparable to that of Jin Guangshan. Besides, Nie Huaisang, who benefited from the marrow cleansing recipe, was present. He immediately took the responsibility of interrogating Xue Yang.

Facts have proved that Nie Huaisang is indeed a talent who is proficient in everything except cultivation. Although it took less than half a month, he finally dug out all the sins committed by Xue Yang, including the fact that it was Meng Yao and Jin Guangshan who secretly protected him when the Wen clan was defeated, and the fact that Meng Yao and Jin Guangshan respectively supported him in copying the Yin Iron.
