Bamboo Mound

Chapter 117 Mountain Building (2)

Seeing how fast they were moving, Ning Chang didn't go down the mountain. Instead, he stood there and thought about how to design the island in the middle of the lake.

The previous Heavenly Lake was not small, but it only had one island in the middle of the lake. Even though it was covered with fragrant herbs, it was still nothing compared to any other vegetation cultivated in Medicine King Valley.

The mountain created by the elders is now much larger than the Heavenly Lake. If we only build one more, it would be a huge waste of space!

Moreover, if an island is built too large, and the center of the island is too far from the lake, it might not grow as well as the fragrant herbs in the sect!

Just as the elders finished their work, Ning Chang also finalized the parameters for the island in the middle of the lake.

One is too wasteful, two are unevenly distributed, five or four are too crowded, and to maximize efficiency, the area needs to be reduced, so the final number won't be much more...

Therefore, from all perspectives, it is more appropriate to distribute the space evenly among the three islands in the lake.

When the elders gathered again, Ning Chang, standing about ten meters down from the mountaintop, condensed three more circles as markers.

At first, he wanted to ask if there was a way to make the islands float on their own, so that only three islands would need to be created for planting.

But then I realized that there was a possibility of something going wrong if it wasn't taken care of, so I abandoned the idea.

His current idea is that the three islands will emerge from the water, extend downwards for tens of meters, and then merge into one, sharing a base for the placement of the spiritual veins provided by Ning Tongyu.

The base is directly connected to the lake bottom, and countless branches extend out to connect to the surrounding lake walls for fixation.

After hearing Ning Chang's plan, the elders expressed their understanding.

His current plan does indeed seem to be entirely for Yao Xiangcao's sake, and he has even considered the unusual situations that may arise in the future!

Even if it doesn't work this time, they have no reason or desire to complain about Ning Chang.

After the details were discussed, the elders gathered in a circle again and began building an island at the bottom of the lake once more.

This time it's even simpler than the initial mountain-building project.

After all, there is no need to create soil and rocks out of thin air. Instead, the soil and rocks that were just dug out and thrown to the side of the mountain can be piled up and then filled and shaped with spiritual power.

Seeing that they were moving quite fast, Ning Chang stopped and landed directly in front of Ning Tongyu.

"The basic environment is ready. All that's left is the spiritual vein, the array, and the water source that Brother Tongyu mentioned."

"Oh? That's it?" Ning Tongyu opened her eyes, somewhat surprised.

But he immediately nodded and said, "That's true, wild mountain ranges can't be too complicated."

With his divine sense, he could easily see through the structure and details of the entire mountain.

"Now that the environment is ready, Ge Shu, it's time for us to get to work."

He stood up, called out to Ge Shu who was standing beside him with his eyes closed, and then appeared on the mountaintop in a flash.

Ge Shu also disappeared from the spot.

Seeing the two move, Ning Chang shrugged and followed them back to the mountaintop.

In just a short time, the elders had already built up the basic shape, and were now reinforcing and supporting it.

Ning Tongyu waited until the main foundation of the island was reinforced before moving to the bottom of the lake. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a crystal-clear spiritual vein that was tens of meters long!

Unlike the twisted and slender spiritual vein that Lian Ping had extracted from that mine before, the spiritual vein that Ning Tongyu took out now reflected a much brighter light!

Furthermore, it is neat and tidy, with sharp edges and corners, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle, without any trace of twists or bends, as if it were carved by hand!

After taking out the spiritual vein, he quickly formed several hand seals and, before Ning Chang could see them clearly, pushed the spiritual vein into the foundation.

In an instant, a dense wave of spiritual energy emanated from that place, its intensity and purity approaching that of the fifth level of the Spirit Platform!

After waiting a while longer, the elders finished their work and retreated to the edge of the mountaintop, awaiting Ning Tongyu's next move.

But the next second, Ge Shu suddenly disappeared from the mountaintop and came to Ning Tongyu's side.

After quickly understanding the requirements from him, he waved his hand and kept driving various materials into the foundation.

There are oddly shaped stones of various colors, short twigs, slender leaves, animal hair...

Anyway, Ning Chang didn't know any of them.

After she stopped what she was doing, a "buzzing" sound came from somewhere.

With a faint ripple, no more spiritual energy escaped from the foundation; it was completely enveloped within the foundation and spread upwards along the soil and stones in Ning Chang's sight.

It was only because the sheer volume of spiritual energy emitted such dazzling light that Ning Changcai deactivated his heterochromatic eyes and rubbed them.

When Ning Tongyu opened his eyes again, he had already begun casting a spell to release water.

He sat down cross-legged, surrounded by hundreds of unusual spirit stones. A continuous stream of spiritual energy surged from his body, transforming into water that cascaded down to the bottom of the valley.

At first, it was just like a gurgling spring, but it gradually grew larger over time, and in no time at all, it became like a waterfall, crashing into the lake below with a roar!

However, even at this speed, it would take a considerable amount of time to fill this kilometer-deep pit.

Ning Tongyu also felt some regret about this.

He should have called more elders or simply brought some water to fill the pit.

However, he immediately shook his head and denied this idea.

Such a deep pit would require a lot of water to fill, and seawater cannot be used. Bringing lake or river water from elsewhere would also cause great damage to the local environment.

Let him handle it himself; it'll only take a few days anyway, so waiting a little longer won't hurt.

Ning Chang's attention was not on Ning Tongyu at this moment.

Because when he opened his eyes, Ge Shu was standing in front of him, less than a foot away, staring intently into his eyes.

He was startled by Ge Shu's sudden appearance and silently took half a step back, waiting for Ge Shu's next move.

She stared intently for a few moments, then grabbed Ning Chang, and the two of them instantly returned to the plaza outside the secret realm!

He then raised his hand and released several halos of light, which covered the entire square. In Ning Chang's eyes, the scenery outside the square immediately became bizarre, distorted and blurry.

It was only then that Ning Chang realized what Ge Shu had done and was about to instinctively dodge backward when the surroundings had already changed.

After taking another half step back, Ning Changcai frowned and asked Ge Shu:

"Sect Leader Ge, what is the meaning of this?"

But then he realized what he had done and asked again:

"Is there anything that the elders of Medicine King Valley can't hear?"

Ge Shu's expression remained normal and his demeanor was calm, so he felt that rather than being harmed, it was more like he had something to say to him alone.

As he expected, Ge Shu knew her voice was cold, and it was easy to tell that she had tried very hard to make her tone sound gentle, which made it sound a little awkward.
