Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 A Gift for the Villain

"Ahem." A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Luo Mingyue's face. She obviously felt that this didn't look like a house. But when she looked at it from another angle, she saw that this rectangular box was silver-white with ancient runes carved on it. It looked exquisite and sturdy...

It looks pretty good too.

Luo Mingyue dripped a drop of blood on it, contracted the spiritual weapon, and threw it to the ground.

The silvery white rectangular box suddenly grew larger, and turned upside down on the ground, directly covering the room where the little man was.

"Perfect."

Luo Mingyue clapped her hands. She didn't expect that it would only take her one hour to solve the housing problem.

Qianxue was stunned. "I don't know if I should say this... Does this look a bit like a coffin?"

Luo Mingyue corrected him, "No, this is just a box with doors and windows. It's nothing like a coffin. A coffin has a lid, but the top of our house is sealed and can't be lifted."

Qianxue nodded with a strange expression on her face and entered the "house within a house", which means first walking into the silver rectangular house and then walking into the house where the little people lived, which is simply called the house within a house.

Qianxue went to see the four little fox cubs. Even though she had turned into a human form now, her aura had not changed and the cubs still recognized her.

Qianxue carried the cubs out and brought them into the silver house, not allowing them to go to the room where the little people lived.

Luo Mingyue asked: "I am going to the human world... Is there anything you want?"

Qianxue said: "Buy more vegetables, I want to feed the little guy myself."

Luo Mingyue nodded. Now that she had a house, she was lacking furniture. She planned to buy some. Although she knew how to refine equipment, it was not necessary for her to refine all the furniture in the room. It would be more convenient to just buy them directly.

Moreover, Luo Mingyue had previously ordered furniture for the little ones from a carpenter, and considering the time, it was time to go and get it back.

Luo Mingyue flew with the sword, the sword was like flowing moonlight, the sword was sharp and bright, and the scenery under his feet rushed by. The mountain peaks were lush and green, there were birds flying in the woods, and the sunlight was like broken gold flowing sand, coating the woods with a layer of warm brilliance.

As the chilly wind blew, Luo Mingyue swooped down towards the human world on his sword. After passing through an invisible barrier, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly became much thinner.

She first bought furniture, bedding, some fresh vegetables, cloth, silk, and some daily necessities, and then went to Liu the carpenter.

"You are here."

Carpenter Liu had a bright smile on his face. He took Luo Mingyue to check his achievements during this period.

Three hundred small rounded-corner wardrobes, eight hundred small Luohan beds, more than three hundred dressing tables for women, one thousand matching small tables and chairs, eight hundred small square stools, two hundred bookcases, one hundred washbasin racks, and three hundred screens.

The precious woods used are red sandalwood and rosewood.

Carpenter Liu said, "You only gave me the dimensions of the bed, table, chairs, and rounded-corner wardrobe. The rest of the bookcases, screens, and other items were made based on estimated dimensions. They are considered gifts. I wonder if you are satisfied."

Luo Mingyue was a little confused, "You... did so much?"

She counted the time on her fingers. It had only been a short time, but Carpenter Liu had already made a pile of them. It was really a bit outrageous. Did he have three heads and six arms?

Carpenter Liu scratched his head and said, "I definitely didn't make this by myself. You gave me two gold leaves, which is a huge sum of money. I couldn't eat it all by myself, so I secretly exchanged the gold leaves for a lot of silver..."

Craftsmen also have their own circles. Carpenter Liu received a big order, and he would be exhausted if he worked on it alone. Although Luo Mingyue did not specify how many small furniture he wanted at the beginning, Carpenter Liu received a large sum of money, so of course he had to make more. So he contracted the task out and even expanded his thinking. He even made some bookcases, washbasin racks, and screens that Luo Mingyue had not mentioned.

"Girl, I asked someone to make two models of small houses. Because it is difficult to make, I didn't dare to make more. Please pick one and see which style you like, and I will make it according to that one..."

Luo Mingyue took a look and found a large blue brick and tiled house. The layout and structure was just as she described. A house consisted of several connected rooms with a tiled roof and tall and smooth walls, which enclosed a yard, making it convenient to raise cattle and sheep in the future.

Another model is a large mansion with three entrances and three exits. It can be seen that it was made with great care. It is the scale of a courtyard of a wealthy family, with hanging flower gates, rockery, stone bridges, etc. The pillars and gates are painted vermilion, and there are pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings. There are even mini potted plants on both sides of the road. The pots are made of adobe and sprinkled with broken leaves to add greenery.

Judging from the appearance alone, Luo Mingyue would definitely like a big house, but she thought about it. The population of Mojia Village is only 15 households and 35 people. It would be too luxurious for one family to live in a big house. It would be empty and difficult to clean. But if the villagers were to live together and live collectively, it would not be very realistic.

Luo Mingyue finally decided on the large blue brick and tile house and asked the carpenter to build it according to this.

Carpenter Liu said, "Okay, no problem... Also, where is your home? I can get a carriage and send all these little things back home for you."

Although the furniture is small, there are so many of them that they are difficult to carry when piled up. Take the Luohan beds for example. Luo Mingyue required that each bed be 12 centimeters long. If 800 beds are laid out in a line, it would be a full 96 meters. What's more, there are other furniture. Carpenter Liu specially cleared out a room to stack them all together to save space.

Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "No need."

She raised her sleeves and waved, and the room was empty in an instant.

Carpenter Liu's eyes widened, first in surprise, then in fear, "Immortal... Immortal?"

Luo Mingyue said: "He is just a cultivator, not an immortal."

There was nothing to hide about her identity. The mortal world had heard of legends about cultivating immortals. Some people traveled through mountains and rivers for decades in search of an immortal, but failed to find one and died in depression. Some people were lucky enough to meet an immortal who was selecting disciples, and they entered the mountain gate at a young age in search of immortality.

There is no harm in Luo Mingyue revealing his identity. Carpenter Liu will only work more attentively.

Luo Mingyue took out three more gold leaves and said, "This is the remaining money. See if it's enough. If not, I'll add more."

Carpenter Liu rubbed his hands and negotiated: "Immortal, I won't accept this gold. Can you see if my son has the talent to cultivate immortality?"

Luo Mingyue nodded, "Okay."

The ten disciples chosen by the vicious female supporting role are basically orphans, beggars, abandoned babies, or maids like the heroine Bai Tian. In short, each disciple has no parents, making it convenient for her to take them home and raise them. Luo Mingyue does not plan to accept any more disciples, but she can still help test their talents.

Carpenter Liu carried his son out, a big fat boy of two or three years old, very lively and not afraid of strangers.

Luo Mingyue took out a mirror and shone it at the child. The mirror surface was filled with a soft and not dazzling white light.

Carpenter Liu asked hopefully, "How is it?"

Luo Mingyue shook her head, "No spiritual roots."

"How could that be..." Carpenter Liu's expression was visibly disappointed. The white light was so beautiful, but he actually had no spiritual roots? He didn't give up and begged Luo Mingyue to test him as well.

Luo Mingyue held up a mirror and shone it upon him. This time the light on the mirror was green, but the green was darker. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a mixture of blue and black, and very complicated.

Luo Mingyue said: "Three spiritual roots of talent, the qualifications are of the lower grade."

Carpenter Liu didn't understand what "three spiritual roots talent" meant, but he knew that "low-quality talent" meant something bad, but he still asked: "Can someone like me join the immortal sect?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Our sect will definitely not accept you. As for other sects... the possibility of accepting you is not high either."

Carpenter Liu sighed and muttered to himself, "In fact, I also know that I am just an ordinary person. I just fancied that I was lucky to meet the immortal master. It was rare that you were so easy to talk to. I thought I was blessed with a good fate and might be able to join the immortal sect by chance and bid farewell to the mortal world. I didn't expect that I would not have such a fate..."

He adjusted his attitude and said, "Sir, I will build this blue brick and tile house for you right away. If it is convenient for you, you can come to me and pick it up every ten days or so."

Luo Mingyue nodded, "Okay."

Carpenter Liu said again, "Please take back the gold leaf."

Luo Mingyue said: "No need, it's not easy for you to make a living."

Carpenter Liu said firmly, "I told you that I won't take your gold. I'm a man of my word and I won't break it.

"Well, if you don't want gold, then let's take silver."

Luo Mingyue nodded calmly, took the gold leaves away, and left a dozen silver ingots.

Then, spiritual energy floated around her and her body disappeared from the spot.

Carpenter Liu was left standing there in confusion, "Hey..."

It is too easy for immortal cultivators to make money. They don't care about worldly gold and silver at all, nor are they willing to covet such small profits.

If Luo Mingyue was short of money, he only needed to go around the city, pick up a few wanted warrants, or go to the homes of powerful people to get treatment, and he could easily get a lot of gold and silver.

In the eyes of immortal cultivators, what are valuable are spirit stones and cultivation resources.

So, no matter whether Carpenter Liu wanted it or not, Luo Mingyue had to keep the reward. She didn't want to owe anyone anything.

Luo Mingyue returned to her silver box room and began to arrange the furniture.

After entering the door of the room, there is a round corner table and four benches opposite, with a teapot and teacups on the table.

On the left hand side is an alchemy furnace, and to the left of the alchemy furnace are two beds. The head of the bed is connected to the foot of the bed, separated by a screen, and curtains are hung around it to create a private space.

In the corner, there is a fox den prepared for four little foxes.

On the right hand side is the room where the little people are kept.

Luo Mingyue performed a dust purification technique, and the whole room became fresh and tidy.

Mu Lingyan's hesitant voice came from outside the door, "Master...Excuse me, is Master here?"

Mu Lingyan really couldn't have imagined that after he went to seek the opinions of his fellow junior brothers and sisters in the morning, he came back at noon to see that his master had built a "new house"...

The huge silver box almost blinded his eyes.

Sparkling silver, dazzling.

Ancient runes are carved on the walls, with smooth lines, cold and sharp, mysterious and solemn.

The doors and windows are also silver-white.

Mu Lingyan: "This..."

He looked dazed as he looked up at the huge rectangular silver box.

This is the first time I have seen a house like this in my lifetime, and it feels weird.

Luo Mingyue pushed open the door and walked out.

Mu Lingyan saluted and said, "Master, I, Second Junior Brother, and Third Junior Brother are all willing to participate in tomorrow's Qi Refining Disciple Competition."

In fact, there are more than just these few, all the disciples want to participate. Even if they can't win a place, it's good to go out and have a look.

But they were afraid of performing too poorly in the competition, bringing shame to their master, and being punished when they returned.

Luo Mingyue estimated that many disciples would not dare to go out with her, and that having three of them willing to go was already quite good, so she nodded and said, "Okay, wait for me at the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Master."

Before leaving, Mu Lingyan couldn't help but take another look at the silver-glittering building.

Master is still as unique as ever...

Luo Mingyue had a lot of things to do today, and it was already late when she returned from the human world. By the time she returned to the house after meeting Mu Lingyan, the children had already finished lunch and started their nap.

Luo Mingyue placed some fruits and osmanthus cakes on the Immortal Terrace in Mojia Village as an after-meal dessert.

Qianxue played with the fox cubs for a while. When they woke up, Qianxue showed her face in the sky above Mojia Village and said, "I am Qianxue, the fox you saw before."

Jiang Yanfeng said: "I have seen a fox fairy."

Qianxue said: "Don't be so polite, I can transform into a human form, thanks to the master, you only need to worship the master, don't worship me."

Jiang Yanfeng changed his words and said, "Yes, Master Qianxue."

Luo Mingyue also poked her head out and said, "Yanfeng, I brought you gifts."

Jiang Yanfeng asked curiously: "What gift?"

His eyes were bright and full of devotion and trust in Luo Mingyue.

In the entire village, Jiang Yanfeng is the most loyal and steadfast believer.

Moreover, he is a man with a lot of ideas.

As for Mo Jin, he was born without any reverence for gods. Even though he would kneel down and kowtow to thank the gods for their grace, but... sometimes he looked at the immortals with such deep and mysterious eyes that people could not guess what he was thinking.

Luo Mingyue put down all kinds of furniture one by one, almost filling up Jiang Yanfeng's yard. She said, "If your furniture is old, you can replace it with new ones."

Jiang Yanfeng was slightly stunned. "The immortal is really very careful. He can even think of such a thing..."

"Actually, I have some small change here, but it's a bit large... If you're short of gold or silver, I can give it to you."

Luo Mingyue added: "Also, I'll ask someone to build a new house, what do you think?"

Jiang Yanfeng smiled elegantly and gently, "It's my honor."

Luo Mingyue put the blue brick house outside the village, then put his hand on the ground and said: "Jiang Yanfeng, stand on my hand, I will take you there."

Chen Qi, the kid next door, was taking a nap. When he heard the immortal's voice, he rubbed his eyes, ran out, and climbed onto Luo Mingyue's fingers before Jiang Yanfeng.

Jiang Yanfeng also climbed up.

Mo Jin came out of his house and looked up at the sky.

Luo Mingyue looked at him.

Mo Jin said: "Immortal, I want to see it too."

Luo Mingyue responded to the request and stretched out her hand, letting Mo Jin stand on her hand as well.

The three little men looked down. They were a little scared at first, but the cactus's hand moved very slowly and steadily, and gradually they were no longer afraid.

Luo Mingyue moved his hands gently and brought them out of the village and placed them outside the door of the blue brick and tile house.
