Chapter 70: The Gathering of Spirits
Chapter 70
After the video was uploaded smoothly, the school was also completed.
Shen Feixian specially called Song Jixing and asked her to come over for acceptance inspection.
Standing at the newly built school gate, Song Jixing looked at the two bold characters "Qingyun" drifting on the huge stone slab next to her. This should be the name of their school now.
However, Song Jixing was a little curious.
"Was the stone bought?" Song Jixing asked.
The stone was as tall as a building, with the two silver-hooked characters "Qingyun" standing upright and shining smoothly on the front, while the back was just an ordinary hard stone shell, like a beautiful jade with its skin peeled off.
Although Song Jixing didn't recognize what kind of jade this was, she instinctively felt it was not cheap!
Even if it was a slab of marble, it would not be cheap!
Shen Feixian smiled amiably, "Buy...of course we can't afford it! Junior sister, actually this is made of clay! And painted with some varnish."
Song Jixing's outstretched hand shrank back. She was afraid she would damage this "stone".
"Don't worry, junior sister, touch it boldly! Although it is made of clay, it is absolutely solid. One of the outer disciples has a talent in earth, and many of his elders have earth spirit roots. So he figured out a way to sculpt everything with clay!"
"Not only this stone, but also the surrounding walls are made this way!"
Song Jixing looked at the red walls at the gate, wondering whether the whole process of firing clay into bricks and building walls and painting them was followed, or whether they were erected directly without following the process.
Song Jixing was still a little worried. Fellow cultivators here could not use spiritual energy. What if these walls collapsed like shoddy buildings someday?
"Junior sister, take a look inside. I have prepared an office for you!" Without further ado, Shen Feixian pulled Song Jixing inside.
The scene inside was much simpler. There were just two adjacent two-story wooden buildings, each occupying about a hundred square meters, very spacious, exactly the same as the small buildings in their Qingyun Sect.
In addition to cultivating, outer disciples were also responsible for many chores, including building houses and furniture, and they could make anything.
They used their own bodies directly as tools, and everything else relied solely on steady hands.
The source of the wood was also very simple. Song Jixing used her spiritual energy to sprout them row by row.
The modern buildings behind the wooden houses were much simpler, all six-story small grey buildings, only three of them, looking like unfinished buildings without exterior finish from afar.
At the back were large tracts of open space, as well as some wildly growing flowers, plants and trees.
Further out there was also a pond, and nothing else beyond that.
The school was this big, very simple.
"Junior sister, this is your office! Come and see what you think!" Shen Feixian pointed to one of the small buildings and said.
Song Jixing followed him in.
Once inside, Song Jixing realized that the office was extremely simple.
From the outside, one could see that the upstairs windows were installed with glass. But this office had no glass at all, just bare white walls, not even a table, chair or bench.
Was it because she wouldn't sit here so they didn't install the glass?
Shen Feixian seemed to see Song Jixing's concern and explained, "Because I don't know junior sister's preferences, I haven't furnished this office yet. Does junior sister want to furnish it herself, or let the outer disciples do it?"
"Senior brother can arrange it as you see fit. I probably won't come to this office often." Song Jixing said indifferently. She had to go out to work and support her family, and could not really sit in the school as the principal.
"Then I’ll let them furnish it randomly. If there's anything you don't like, just let them change it! By the way, junior sister, there's one more thing I want to trouble you with!" Shen Feixian said directly.
"Junior sister, I've been thinking about something recently! If this mortal world also has spiritual energy, even if we can't use this spiritual energy, it can still circulate in formations, right?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jixing concentrated and considered the feasibility of Shen Feixian's words.
She had spiritual energy in her body and could use spiritual methods to sprout trees, proving that the methods and techniques in the cultivation world could be used in this world.
If this world did have spiritual energy in existence, using a spirit gathering formation might be able to attract some of the spiritual energy over, even if they couldn't use it!
Formations were like machines. As long as fuel was injected, they could operate. No one stipulated that only one type of fuel could be used.
When Song Jixing figured this out and looked up at Shen Feixian, Shen Feixian was smiling at her.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, junior sister!"
"Ok."
She knew senior brother wouldn't bring her here to see a bare office for no reason. Sure enough, he called her here to get her to work.
-
Although spirit gathering formations could be arranged randomly, there would be some quality differences depending on the organizer's level of expertise.
Among them, WenRen He had the highest level of cultivation, but WenRen He had no spiritual energy, so Song Jixing had to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
All things in nature have spirituality. The materials required for a spirit gathering formation did not need to be sought everywhere. It was enough to use some plants full of vitality arranged in the right positions to crystallize into a formation.
Of course, this process was guided by WenRen He.
After all the seeds were planted in precise positions, Song Jixing stood in the center of the formation, activated the techniques, and spiritual energy overflowed from her ten fingers into the ground.
In a few seconds, the seeds under everyone's feet broke through the soil and sprang out.
Golden light emerged and flowed across the land, outlining a fuzzy pattern that looked like a dense golden web encompassing the entire school premises.
The seeds in other places also broke through the soil and grew into small trees more than ten feet tall. Only the ones at the very center of the formation grew the tallest and thickest, already two stories high!
Gusts of fresh breeze surged, and the fragrance of flowers and grass wafted under their noses.
It's done!
"It looks like this formation works!" Shen Feixian said with a smile.
WenRen He also nodded.
This world did have spiritual energy, but for some reason they couldn't see it. But at the moment the formation took shape, he felt the vitality and energy of this place. This was enough to explain everything.
The outer disciples standing in the school obviously also felt this. They were chatting animatedly!
Everyone was very happy, except Song Jixing, whose expression was indifferent and did not smile.
She really had nothing left!
Everything was exploited by senior brother!
Shen Feixian tiptoed and broke off a branch, handing a leaf to Song Jixing and said, "Junior sister, try it."
Song Jixing took the leaf with some puzzlement and put it in her mouth. The puzzlement disappeared after the leaf entered her stomach.
This leaf had a strong satiating effect! Although not as effective as spiritual energy, it was dozens of times stronger than ordinary food!
Seeing the subtle change in Song Jixing's complexion, Shen Feixian smiled again, "It's about the same as I expected! Although we can't absorb the spiritual energy here, it can nourish spirit plants and benefit all things!"
"We can save on meals in the future!" Shen Feixian said as he also plucked a leaf and put it in his mouth.
In less than a few seconds, Shen Feixian's face stiffened. He spat out the leaf directly and retched twice.
Although nourished by spiritual energy, the tree leaves were full of vitality, but also quite unpalatable.
Perhaps Shen Feixian felt it was wasteful, so he used a branch to scrape some soil to bury the leaf, then patted Song Jixing lightly on the shoulder.
Song Jixing watched the whole process expressionlessly.
There was still some camaraderie among fellow cultivators, but not much.
