Since we want to build a cave, we should do it as early as possible.
Xu Ke released the flying boat and flew into the air again, hovering over the island in the middle of the Bishuitan Lake.
Holding the compass in his hand, Xu Ke used the qi-gazing technique to measure the flow of spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, used the Kanyu technique to measure the movement of the earth's spiritual energy, and measured the spiritual veins within the Bishui Pond.
Starting from the island in the middle of the lake, Xu Ke drove the flying boat and circled the clear water pool, determined the direction of the underground spiritual veins, and measured the operation data of the various ground veins.
Afterwards, Xu Ke lowered his flying boat and once again came to the large formation altar in the basement of Baibaozhai.
Comparing the spiritual energy operation data just measured, Xu Ke opened the Bishuitan Formation, released a ray of spiritual power, integrated it into the formation, and readjusted the operation of the formation.
The array arranged in Bishuitan is the Guishui array among the Five Elements arrays.
Jasper fruit is a spiritual fruit with water attributes. In order to ensure the supply of jasper fruit, the spiritual power naturally prioritized the demand for jasper fruit.
Now... the master of the Alchemy Palace doesn't even look down on the output of Bishuitan, so naturally there is no need to give priority to the Jasper Fruit.
Xu Ke decided to readjust this Guishui formation and modify it into a Five Elements formation.
The Five Elements Formation is one of the most accomplished formations that Xu Ke has mastered so far, and has reached the "perfect level".
Another perfect level of formation is the purification formation. Xu Ke has other plans for the purification formation and will only arrange it in his cave.
Therefore, Xu Ke controlled the Guishui formation through the altar, cut off the movement of spiritual energy, shut down the operation of the formation, and then stood up and walked out of Baibaozhai.
"Monkey, it's time to work!"
Xu Ke greeted the mountain-moving ape, then released the flying boat, went to the various nodes where the formation base was originally buried, and took out the formation magic weapon.
The mountain-moving ape used the earth spiritual power to pull out the array-based magic tools buried in the nodes from each array node, which were rune sticks of different sizes.
Xu Ke picked up a rune stick and looked at it carefully. He found that the quality of these rune sticks was similar to the quality of the array magic tools on the gravel original defense line, and they could both carry golden elixir level spiritual power transmission.
It seems that the sect bosses attached great importance to Bishuitan in the past!
These array-based magic weapons can carry the transmission of golden elixir-level spiritual power, which means that the array can display the power of the array comparable to that of the golden elixir.
If it weren't for these array-based magic tools, Xu Ke wouldn't even be able to get this level of rune sticks. It would be completely impossible to set up a formation that was comparable to the power of the golden elixir.
It feels great now.
After taking out the formation base magic weapon, Xu Ke re-buried the formation base and rearranged the formation nodes according to the direction of the earth veins previously surveyed and the operation data of the heaven and earth spiritual energy.
The mountain-moving ape had already done the same thing once on the gravel defense line, and now he was doing it more skillfully.
It took more than an hour for Xu Ke to re-arrange all the formation nodes according to the distribution of the five elements' spells.
The magic weapon at the base of the formation began to absorb spiritual energy.
Under the Qi Watching Technique, the auras of the formation nodes flickered everywhere, like stars lighting up the night.
After all the formation nodes are arranged, the formation work is basically over. The next step is to activate the altar and run the formation.
To be on the safe side, Xu Ke used a compass to re-survey the spiritual energy operation data, and re-deduce and calculate it to confirm that everything was normal and there were no accidents.
Later, Xu Ke returned to Bishuitan Market Town, entered the basement of Baibaozhai, and activated the altar.
Waves of spiritual light as full as water shone, and the formation was successfully activated and running smoothly without any problems.
The reason why the aura is "full of water" is because Xu Ke only connected the Guishui Formation in the Five Elements Array on the altar in the basement of Baibaozhai, and only retained the original function of the altar.
This altar can only control part of the Five Elements Formation and can only operate the Guishui Formation.
As for the real altar, of course it must be built in one's own cave.
Although... the construction of the cave has not started yet.
Xu Ke smiled, sealed the entrance to the altar, and walked out of Baibaozhai.
Driving a flying boat, we arrived at the island in the middle of the Bishuitan Lake.
Hovering in mid-air, Xu Ke overlooked the island and looked at the "new home" that was about to be built.
The island in the middle of the lake is not that big, only about twenty miles in radius.
The terrain of the island in the center of the lake is high in the north and low in the south. There is a mountain in the north, a hillside in the middle, and several small hills of different sizes. There is a flat land near the lake in the south.
In Xu Ke's plan, the mountain in the north of the lake center island is the place where spiritual veins meet.
When setting up the Five Elements Formation just now, Xu Ke had already reorganized the earth veins in the entire Bishuitan area and adjusted the direction of the underground spiritual veins.
At this moment, Xu Ke was preparing to place the last few array-based magic weapons at predetermined locations on the island in the center of the lake to connect the array nodes to the spiritual veins.
The first formation base, the water vein formation base, is deployed!
Originally, the water veins of Yanghe River east of Bishuitan were connected to the lake, and the lake also had underground water connected to the island in the middle of the lake.
On this basis, Xu Ke laid out the formation base, pulled the water veins, connected the original water veins on the island in the center of the lake, and merged into the predetermined position.
Once the magic formula is introduced, the water veins will be connected.
There was a sound of water.
On the mountain on the island in the center of the lake, a waterfall pours down. The water flows into a pool at the foot of the mountain, then winds into a river and flows into the Bishuitan lake.
Falling waterfalls, flowing springs, and steaming water.
Under the aura that permeates the air, there is already a sign of steaming clouds and rosy clouds.
The second formation base, the golden vein formation base, is laid out!
As soon as the magic formula is introduced, the gold gas originating from the mineral veins in the mountains to the north of Bishuitan is transmitted through the array base nodes and flows into the mountains of the island in the center of the lake.
The third formation base, the earth vein formation base, is deployed!
The entire Bishuitan area with a radius of 500 miles contains rich earth spiritual energy, which is connected to the mountains of the island in the center of the lake through the circulation of earth veins and the transmission of array base nodes.
The fourth formation base, the fire vein formation base, is deployed!
The power of the earth fire deep under the Bishui Pond is pulled by the formation and transmitted through the formation base nodes, and flows into the mountain on the island in the center of the lake.
The last one, the wooden formation base, is deployed!
The energy of the vegetation within a radius of five hundred miles is transmitted through the formation nodes and flows into the mountains of the island in the center of the lake.
The spiritual energy of the five elements gathered together, and the entire island in the middle of the lake was suddenly filled with spiritual light and became colorful.
This is of course not a good thing, but an anomaly caused by the dissipation of spiritual energy.
Xu Ke quickly changed the method and activated the Five Elements Formation.
Spiritual energy interacts with each other, and the five elements generate each other.
The five elements of spiritual energy gathered from all over the world circulate through the five elements array and return to heaven and earth again, restoring balance.
As a result, the island in the middle of the lake, which had just been filled with auras of aura and splendor, instantly returned to its original state.
Apart from the fact that somewhere in the mountains has become a place where spiritual energy converges, and the huge spiritual power within a radius of 500 miles of Bishuitan can be called upon, there are not many changes.
Well... there is an extra waterfall, a pool, and a small river.
The place where the spiritual energies meet in the mountains is naturally the location of Xu Ke's cave.
"It is still necessary to set up an altar and bury the formation flag. Otherwise, it will be too laborious to operate the formation."
Letting go of the control of the Five Elements Formation, Xu Ke let out a long breath.
Just now, we started from the base nodes of the formation and directly controlled the operation of the formation. Even with Xu Ke's ability, he found it very troublesome to control.
Just like a computer without an operating interface and can only be operated by entering commands, it is too cumbersome and laborious.
Xu Ke was not easy to get the high-grade magic altar array, and Peng Zhengqing couldn't get it either.
However, this is not a problem. Junior Sister Li Muzi can definitely solve this little problem.
Xu Ke smiled, looked up at the mountain in the middle of the lake, and looked at the place where the spiritual energy interacted. This was where the cave was built.
There will be a lot of construction work next!
Xu Ke's cave dwelling design includes a real cave dwelling in the mountains and a courtyard for daily living outside.
"Monkey, it's time to work."
Xu Ke slapped the mountain-moving ape on the head, and passed on the "construction plan" for digging the cave through the heart seal psychic technique.
"Follow the direction I have drawn and dig a hole! You are very good at this!"
"Oooh!"
The mountain-moving ape barked a few times, meaning "not fun, not fun."
"Think of the female monkey!"
Xu Ke slapped him again.
"Oooh!"
The mountain-moving ape barked a few times excitedly, turned around, and ran over to dig a hole.
Sure enough, drawing cakes is the best incentive.
Xu Ke grinned, released the herring boat into the sky, turned around and left.
For the time being, all you need to do to practice the cave is to dig a hole, and the monkey can take care of it. However, the courtyard outside, used for daily living, is not something that monkeys can solve.
At the very least, Xu Ke has to figure out how to use building materials himself.
The flying boat flew through the sky, and Xu Ke landed on another island dozens of miles away.
This island was the place where fish were raised in Bishuitan before the Royal Beast Hall was divided, and when it was still called the Animal Husbandry.
When the livestock farm was turned into a beast-taming hall, all the fish-raising disciples here evacuated. The buildings originally built on the island have long been abandoned.
Xu Ke happened to be short of building materials, so he demolished it for them.
Lower the flying boat and land on the island.
Xu Ke saw that the buildings on the island were overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and the stone steps and stone walls were covered with moss. They looked dilapidated.
After walking around the island, Xu Ke chose a palace with the best materials and started demolishing it directly.
Corruption opens roads and clears away weeds and shrubs.
Cleansing technique sweeps the floor to remove dust, dirt, and moss.
After cleaning it up, Xu Ke saw that this palace was really nice.
The walls are made of blue corundum, the steps are made of white marble, the floors, doors, windows, beams and columns are made of rosewood, and the roof tiles are all refined copper tiles.
Even though it has been abandoned for many years, the building materials of this palace have remained as new as ever without any damage.
"Just right for me!"
Xu Ke rolled up his sleeves and started doing it.
Turning around and leaving the palace, Xu Ke cast the Wind Control Technique and floated in the air. He waved his hand towards the roof of the palace and used the Expelling Object Technique.
Spiritual power fluctuations covered the roof, and pieces of copper tiles were peeled off and neatly laid on the ground in a pile.
After removing the tiles, the next step is to remove the beams and purlins.
Beams made of red sandalwood and purlins were pulled out from the main hall and piled aside.
Then, we dismantle doors, windows, corridor columns, wall tiles, floors, steps...
After a day's work, Xu Ke finally dismantled the main hall, the side halls and the cloisters.
Building materials piled up.
Storage bags are not suitable for storing building materials and cannot be loaded at all.
Fortunately, the Qingyu Boat has its own "cargo transport" function, and the cargo warehouse on the ship can temporarily load goods.
Xu Ke used a jade boat to transport goods and ran back and forth more than a dozen times before he moved the mountains of building materials to the island in the middle of the lake.
After carrying the building materials, Xu Ke turned his head and glanced at the mountain-moving ape.
Seeing that it was still working hard to dig a hole, Xu Ke ignored it.
The building materials are enough, now it’s time to think about how to build the house.
Xu Ke doesn't understand architecture, but when he demolished the house just now, Xu Ke already knew how the house was built.
Yes, build!
The building of the main hall was completely built up like building blocks.
Wall tiles, floors, beams and columns, doors, windows, purlins, and tiles are all spliced together by mortise and tenon structures.
Putting together building blocks is a simple problem for "Dayan Divine Calculation".
So Xu Ke began to design his own house.
It would not be impossible if Xu Ke rebuilt the original hall directly on the island in the middle of the lake.
There is no such thing as "exceeding the rules" in the world of spiritual practice.
As long as you want, you can turn your house into a palace.
The problem is that the hall is only suitable for "meetings" and not suitable for living in.
Of course, the most comfortable place to live is in a "Chinese courtyard house".
In the past world, Xu Ke built a Chinese-style courtyard house in his hometown in the countryside. Although he did not build it by himself, he had carefully read the design drawings.
Thanks to his successful practice, Xu Ke still clearly remembers the original drawings.
Now... let’s recreate our original home here!
Having made up his mind, Xu Ke got up and walked near the mountain on the island in the center of the lake.
Not far from the planned cave, Xu Ke chose a location near mountains and rivers and determined the location to build the house.
A small river meanders in front of the house. Behind the house are green mountains, surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, and rugged cliffs and rocks. The environment is very good.
Therefore, Xu Ke designated a construction area here.
"Monkey, come here!"
Xu Ke called the mountain-moving ape over again and asked him to lay the foundation here.
The mountain-moving ape rushed over and quickly laid the foundation according to Xu Ke's request. Then he was sent over by Xu Ke to continue digging mountains and holes.
The foundation dug by the monkeys was to level the ground and dig out several tunnels.
This foundation is definitely substandard.
But... isn't practicing spiritual practice an inconvenience?
Xu Ke stretched out his hand and fired out a stream of spiritual power, activating the Five Elements Formation again and mobilizing the spiritual power of the formation.
The five elements transformed, and a strong earth spiritual power emerged, falling into Xu Ke's control.
"Concrete becomes stone!"
The thick spiritual power of the earth covered the foundation. In an instant, the foundation, the dozens of feet around the foundation, and even the land hundreds of feet deep underground were all transformed into hard rock.
This foundation is already strong enough.
The foundation is laid, and the next step is to build the blocks!
Xu Ke embedded the foundation stones into the foundation tunnel, then spliced wall tiles on the foundation stones, placed support columns, and erected beams...
The construction method of building blocks is really fast.
Most building materials can be used directly. If the size is not suitable, you can use sword energy to cut it.
By evening, an exquisite and elegant Chinese-style courtyard house was successfully built.
It has two floors on the front, with three main rooms on the upper and lower floors.
There are two side rooms on each side. Upstairs in the side house, there is a pavilion on the right side and a flat-topped flower garden on the left side.
The front yard is paved with blue corundum, surrounded by corridors and walls. There is a rockery and lotus pond in the backyard, with winding paths leading to tranquility.
“It’s exactly the same as my hometown back then!”
Xu Ke picked up a piece of red sandalwood board and carved it into a plaque. With a flash of sharpness on his fingertips, he carved the words "Kunwu Courtyard" on the plaque.
According to legend, the surname Xu originated from the Kunwu family, a descendant of Zhuanxu.
In his hometown, Xu Ke also put up the plaque "Kunwu Courtyard".
Now, I feel nostalgic for the past!
