Chapter 95: Chapter 95, Modify Tao Palace Blueprints Bai Jin said with a grin, "The eldest sister would be the Chief Architect, the eldest brother would be the Chief Inspector, and Jin Ling, as our junior sister, will coordinate the disciples! Perfect~" Golden Spirit Saint Mother retorted, "Brother, what will you do?" Bai Jin stood tall and puffed out his chest, saying, "I’ll be your materials supplier." Wudang Saint said in confusion, "Materials supplier, what is that?" "It means I will provide the materials for construction." Duo Bao spoke in a low voice, "But all those materials were collected by Master, do you still need to supply them?!" Clearing his throat, Bai Jin said, "Although they were collected by Master, they need to be refined! Otherwise, how would you shape them? The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures collected by Master can’t be refined by just any flame. Fortunately, I have the Samadhi True Fire gifted by our Eldest Uncle, capable of refining these Divine Materials. This job is of utmost importance, so my role as your materials supplier is perfect." Duo Bao fell silent; his words did have some reason to them. Bai Jin gestured towards the side, and with a rumble, dirt and stones churned, forming an earthen house. He then bowed respectfully towards Wudang Saint and said, "Sister, I’ll go refine the materials. I’ll leave the construction matters entirely to you." Wudang Saint smiled and nodded, saying, "Go on!" Bai Jin stretched out his hand, and a spherical orb appeared in his palm featuring a virtual image of a palace; he sent the orb flying towards Wudang Saint, who caught it in her hand. Bai Jin walked towards the earthen house. Following that, at the top of Immortal Peak, construction surged mightily as Jie Sect disciples carried the building materials, flying between heaven and earth. Inside the house, Bai Jin lay back on the bed with a plate of Immortal Fruits beside him, occasionally tossing a fruit into his mouth. In the center of the room, a Flame Giant Cauldron burned, with all kinds of materials churning inside. With a casual wave, Bai Jin lifted the lid of the cauldron, and a stream of azure blue liquid flew out, quickly expanding into a blue hill in the sky above the construction site. A long nose swooped down from the sky, rolled up the blue hill, and flew towards the construction site. Immediately, dozens of disciples flew out, striking the blue hill with Seal Decisions, causing it to slowly morph. Wudang Saint’s graceful figure walked in from outside. Bai Jin quickly sat up, calling out, "Sister!" He picked up an Immortal Fruit from beside him, offered it with a wide smile, and said, "Sister, you’ve been working hard. Come, have a taste." "It’s not a hardship to refine the Tao Palace for Master." Bai Jin gestured with his hand and said, "Sister, please take a seat!" After sitting down, Wudang Saint spoke, "I came to discuss the construction with you." Bai Jin asked curiously, "Didn’t Master give us a model? What else do we need to discuss?" "Based on the images from Master, the Tao Palace occupies an area of three thousand meters, embodying the number three thousand of the great Tao. It has eight palaces anchoring the cardinal directions, reaching the double heights of nine, symbolizing the return to the origin, aligning with the stars and encompassing the Cycle. Now, the materials you refined are only sufficient for one-tenth of the Tao Palace. Will the remaining materials be enough?" Chilled, Bai Jin thought only a tenth? I thought we’d built half of it already!" He quickly calculated the materials used. Only a tenth was used, which meant Master hadn’t prepared any spare materials, and they were just sufficient, perhaps even a bit short. What can I do about my Tao Palace now? "Sister~" "Sister~" Two calls sounded from the side. Bai Jin suddenly snapped back to reality with a distressed expression and said, "Sister, we might not have enough materials." Wudang Saint frowned slightly. Immediately, Bai Jin said, "Sister, please wait a moment. I will go find Master and consult with him." Bai Jin hurried out of the earthen house and shot into the sky. On a cliff next to Golden Turtle Island, Tongtian Sect Master was sitting cross-legged on a green stone, watching the vast sea’s surging waves, feeling a surge of boundless and uninhibited boldness. It was really refreshing not having his two brothers around. With a thought, the seabed rumbled, and violent waves churned; forming giant whirlpools on the deep sea surface, as Immortal Islands rose from the seabed and stood scattered across the nearby marine area, seemingly arranged in a particular formation. A streak of green light flew from the center of Golden Turtle Island, landed before Tongtian Sect Master, and transformed into Bai Jin’s figure, who kneeled on the ground, respectfully saying, "Disciple pays respects to Master!" Tongtian Sect Master said, "You should be building the Tao Palace; why have you come to find me?" Getting up from the ground, Bai Jin jogged to Tongtian Sect Master’s side, stretched out his little hand to massage his leg, and said with a smile, "Master, your disciple has some personal opinions about the palace." "Oh~ What are your thoughts?" "Master once had a saying that has always remained in the disciple’s heart." "What saying?" "Modesty propels progress, arrogance causes delay." Tongtian raised an eyebrow and said, "Did I say that?" Bai Jin replied with a smile, "Master taught the disciple this in a dream, and it has always remained in the disciple’s heart." Tongtian laughed out loud and said with satisfaction, "There is some truth in that statement." "When the Tao Palace was first being built, the disciple remembered Master’s teachings and thought that moderation is key, and that having Master’s presence fill three thousand Heavenly Dao might be a bit too perfect. Master, you once said that the great Tao is fifty, the sky evolves into forty-nine; even the great Tao is not perfect, let alone a palace? These are just some humble thoughts of your disciple, please consider them." "What do you think should be done?" "The disciple thinks it should be reduced a little, to two thousand nine hundred meters would be sufficient; it’s better to keep a low profile." "All the saint palaces are filled with the Tao, if the palace of the teacher is smaller, wouldn’t it weaken their stance?" Bai Jin continued with a smile, "Master, by stepping back, it actually shows our generosity and modesty, which Eldest Uncle likes the most." Tongtian laughed heartily and said, "Makes sense, modesty! Correct, I am most modest indeed. Let’s change it to two thousand nine hundred meters." "Master is wise! The disciple has another matter to report." "Speak~" "The disciple has carefully reviewed the palace design you made, and from the bottom of the heart, it’s truly marvelous! I must say, it’s exceptionally good; solemn yet dignified, dignified yet proud, and within that pride there’s a touch of elegance..." Bai Jin shook his head and mumbled. "What exactly are you trying to say?" "The disciple feels it lacks softness!" "Softness?" Bai Jin nodded repeatedly, saying, "That’s right, softness! It is known that too much rigidity can lead to breakage, the disciple feels there should be a few ponds and small gardens built in the Tao Palace to balance the strong aura within it." "Are you teaching me how to do things?" Bai Jin stopped, looking aggrieved, and said, "Master, that statement breaks the disciple’s heart, I truly have your best interests at heart!" "Continue~" "Oh~" Bai Jin continued massaging Tongtian’s legs, laughing, "Isn’t the disciple just trying to build the best palace for Master? Actually, according to my ideas, I would also like to build a large bath, a sauna, a card room, and a gym inside the palace for you, Master." "All those messy ideas!" "The disciple just wants to offer the best to Master." "You can do the pond; as for the other messy ideas, don’t bother with them," Tongtian warned. Bai Jin happily complied, "Yes! Master, I will go build the Tao Palace for you right away." He then got up and soared into the air. Tongtian couldn’t help but laugh, though there was some sense in his words, Elder Brother always said not to be overly flashy, building a smaller one might also let Elder Brother see my recent cultivation. ... The Tao Palace was constructed swiftly, with hundreds of disciples working together; within a day, most of the palace was already built. Duobao, along with Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal, walked around the construction site, inspecting everything. Duobao calmly said, "Did you notice anything amiss?" Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal hesitated, saying, "Amiss? Is there? It’s well built, isn’t it?" Duobao said, "I saw the construction images bestowed by Master." He pointed at a large pit that had been dug, "What is that big pit? It wasn’t in the images bestowed by Master, and now there are several." Surveying the entire construction area, he added, "And also, the area has become smaller." Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal speculated, "Could it be that Elder Sister misread the blueprints?"
