Chapter 101: Chapter 101, Tao Palace Completion Bai Jin stepped out of the Tao Palace, having collected a dazzling array of Immortal Treasure Divine Materials, when he suddenly paused, confused. How was he to return? He quickly turned around and ran back towards the great hall, hoping his Master was still there. Bai Jin, arriving in front of the great hall, called out hastily, "Master, are you still there?!" From inside the hall came the voice of Primordial, "What else do you need?" Outside the hall, Bai Jin’s heart relaxed, and he respectfully bowed, saying, "Master, this place is too far from the East Sea. Could you send your disciple part of the way?" Primordial laughed inside the hall, and with a wave of his hand, Bai Jin’s figure vanished instantly. ... Above the Three Light Divine Island in the East Sea, Bai Jin’s figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, startling a flock of birds into a chorus of chirping sounds. Bai Jin landed on the grass, sighed in relief, and showed an expression of joy. The materials for building the Tao Palace were nearly complete, and not just any materials, but ones that matched the grade of a Saint’s Palace. How splendid and luxurious! Once it’s built, he would surely invite the eldest disciple to have a good look around. No sooner said than done, Bai Jin immediately began constructing his Tao Palace, refining and shaping one kind of spiritual material after another. Three days later, a radiant Tao Palace rose from the ground, its main structure oval-shaped, clear as blue jade, with the white clouds continually moving on its surface, akin to the vast sky. To the east of the palace, two rows of large trees were planted, with birds perched upon them, chirping incessantly. These rows of trees stretched to the front of the Tao Palace, marking its entrance. Standing in front of the entrance, Bai Jin stroked his chin, surveying the Tao Palace and pondered why he had subconsciously built it in this shape. The design resembled a bird’s nest, but it was indeed handsome and beautiful, a fusion of classical and modern, of nature and craftsmanship – far more interesting than those of his Master and others. "Brother~" A surprised voice rang out from the sky. Several figures soared through the cloud and mist towards him, landing beside Bai Jin. It was Shi Ji, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Gongming. Bai Jin happily said, "You’ve come at the perfect time. Help me come up with a good name for my Tao Palace, will you?" Zhao Gongming eyed the peculiar structure in front of him and hesitantly said, "Brother, is this... your Tao Palace?" "Yes, isn’t it cool?" "Uh~ It’s quite unique, very beautiful." Bai Jin laughed heartily, "Come on, help me think of a name for my Tao Palace." Yun Xiao stepped forward, touching the blue walls of the palace, and curiously asked, "Brother, what material is this? It seems extraordinary." "Oh! The main body was forged from a little Soil of Rest mixed with Jade-Like Water and Exquisite Nectar, then blended with platinum." Yun Xiao quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back. The Soil of Rest needed no introduction, being the mother of all soil, possessed only by Saints. As for Jade-Like Water and Exquisite Nectar, he had never heard of them, but had encountered Platinum before when constructing a palace for the Master. Reportedly, it was gold solidified from White Cloud, taking tens of thousands of years for even a thread to form, hard to come by even for Daluo Golden Immortals. And now, his brother used it to forge walls?! All three of them harbored the same thought – their brother was far too extravagant! Without a second guess, these materials must have been gifted by their Master. A tinge of envy surged within them; why such disparity among disciples?! "Don’t just keep looking! Put some serious thought into a good name for the Tao Palace. I can’t come up with a suitable one myself," Bai Jin urged. Shi Ji said, "Brother, the naming of a palace is of great importance, tied to your Qi Fortune. We dare not speak carelessly. The decision must be yours!" "Forget it, I’m too lazy to think about it. Just call it the White Palace." With a casual wave of his hand, two golden characters appeared in front of the Tao Palace gate – White Palace! Shi Ji quickly urged, "Brother, please reconsider!" "I have reconsidered!" "But the name ’White Palace,’ isn’t that a bit too casual?" "Too casual? Didn’t you feel a sense of majesty from it?" "Absolutely not!" Bai Jin looked towards Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming. Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming also shook their heads; they didn’t feel any majesty at all. The name sounded like a joke. Even ’Cloud Top Heavenly Palace’ would sound more majestic than ’White Palace’! "That’s because you lack appreciation. This is what we call ’greatness in simplicity.’ A simple name conceals profound implications. My Tao Palace being called ’White Palace’ is perfectly fine." The three were all speechless. True, there was nothing technically wrong with the name, but wasn’t it a bit too unceremonious? "Come on, follow me inside and take a look at the interior." Bai Jin led the trio inside, through a light screen portal, and suddenly they entered a beautiful garden. At the center of the garden was a blue pool, pristinely white as jade, with steam rising from the water. Not far from the pond, there were lush trees and a profusion of flowers, like a mirror laid on the edge of the garden. Neat and tidy loungers were placed by the clean pond, each with a small table next to it, now topped with a plate of fruits. Bai Jin proudly introduced: "This swimming pool is made from Constant Sun Crystals, emitting a constant temperature that will never fade after millions of years. The water in this pool is blended with Heavenly River Water Essence and Sea Eye Purifying Water, which contains a powerful spiritual energy that can soothe the mind and body. Let me introduce you to these exotic plants: Blood Ganoderma, Bodhi Flower, Dream Fruit Tree, Dragon Pattern Flower, fig, Jade Fire Tree, Midnight Night-blooming Cereus, Mystic Ice Flower..." Listening to the names of these plants and flowers, the three became increasingly familiar with them. Weren’t many of these from their Master’s Tao Palace? They suddenly remembered helping their Master build the Tao Palace, where their fellow disciple was tasked with digging four ponds. Where had all the exotic plants that should have been there gone? Looking at their fellow disciple’s garden, they had an epiphany – these were the so-called leftover scraps, a broken and jumbled mess tossed aside. "Ha ha~ Come on, let’s check out the other areas. This is the kitchen, this is the Scripture Pavilion, this is the bedroom, this is the game room, and here’s the gym." The distinct architectures and halls kept the three dazzled, especially those Immortal Materials and Divine Treasures, which evoked a secret envy, thinking how good the Master was to their fellow disciple. Finally, the trio lay down on the loungers by the swimming pool, gazing up at the sky full of twinkling stars, made from Star Gold. Bai Jin said, "Open!" The dome above them slowly parted to reveal the azure sky as a flock of beautiful birds happened to fly past overhead. Bai Jin proudly stated, "My Tao Palace’s roof can also be opened. Lying here and sipping wine while admiring the starry sky at night is truly magnificent." Shi Ji said in a low voice, "Seeing my fellow disciple’s Tao Palace, my own Skull Island now seems like a wild backwater." Yun Xiao also lamented quietly, "Our Three Immortals Island now looks like a remote and impoverished land." Zhao Gongming asked with interest, "Fellow Disciple, could you tell me more about that game room? I’m very interested." Bai Jin turned to look at Zhao Gongming and suddenly remembered that this person was the future God of Wealth, as well as the former Outer Disciple Leader of Jie Sect. His eyes suddenly lit up as he conceived a certain plan and said with an affectionate smile, "Of course, you’re welcome to come over whenever you have the time, and we can play a few games! Get to know each other better." Zhao Gongming felt honored and quickly responded, "I’m free right now, please enlighten me, fellow disciple." "Eh~ Not today, I’ve just come back, and this long journey has worn me out. Let me rest a few days to recover." "Of course, of course~ That was impetuous of me," Zhao Gongming hastily replied. Bai Jin asked, "By the way, nothing has happened to our Jie Sect while I was away, right?" Zhao Gongming replied casually, "Nope!" He laughed and said, "We are a Saints Great Sect, after all. Who would dare to cause trouble?" "That’s great to hear!"
