Chapter 152


    In order to both prevent the spiritual veins under theke from leaking and draw the spiritual energy out to serve as the source of the Dan Peak''s protective mountain grand formation, nourishing Dan Peak, the construction of the formations was very difficult. Qin Ran worked hard over a long period of time,ying restrictions and formations, and even repaving ayer at the bottom of theke before finally getting theke bottom done.


    After Huang Feiyu finished making bricks, Qin Ran also took him and Chasing the Wind to build a cross dam across the man-madeke. And of course the firebricks were not waterproof, so he also drew water-repelling formation patterns on them.


    Between theke bottom and the dam, Qin Ran spent over a month, and the pavilion at the center of theke has still not been formally built, only the foundation has beenid...


    But the Mid-Autumn Festival wasing in a few days, the fifteenth day of the eighth month had special meaning to Qin Feng, he decided that before the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would break through the barrier between the small river and the man-madeke.


    The small river that flowed down from the back mountain cut straight across Dan Peak and flowed down the eastern side of Dan Peak, eventually joining the big river that passed by Daofeng Gate.


    And Dan Peak just so happened to have dug a small man-madeke along this little river.


    This man-madeke was basically dug by Li Shiyin. She dug for about three months, going from an ordinary mortal to now and-based immortal who could move heaven and earth. This was her journey ofke digging, and also her journey of foundation building, and even more so, the beginning of her attaining immortality.


    If the river of Dan Peak was the "1" in the number "10", then thiske was the "0". Now was precisely the time to break through the barrier between the "1" and "0", to connect the "1" and "0", to form theke.


    The people of Dan Peak along with Huang Feiyu and Tian Wenjin were standing at the corner between the small river and man-madeke, with the cat Chase Wind in front. Li Shiyin stepped forward out of the crowd and said to Qin Ran:


    "Teacher, please let me!"


    This was theke she dug, so letting the water flow in should be done by her.


    "Mm!" Qin Ran nodded, and also reminded: "Don''t open toorge of an opening, in case it impacts the life forms downstream."


    "I understand..."


    Li Shiyin took out her Qingxing Sword, disyed her movement technique, and floated up into the air. She danced her sword as if stars were falling down to earth, dazzling and ethereal. At a certain moment, one star shone brightly and a beam of ster sword qi shot out, striking the joint between the small river and man-madeke. Like a sharp de slicing tofu, it easily cut open the earth and rock.


    Immediately, water began flowing into the man-madeke through the breach.


    As if an illusion, the moment the water started flowing into the man-madeke, Tian Wenjin felt a sense ofmunication and understanding, as if silt was being cleared away, as if shackles were being broken, as if new life was being born... Dan Peak, in this moment, became more nurtured, more vibrant.


    She looked at Li Shiyin midair, feeling extremely envious in her heart.


    "Is it a formation?" Tu Shan asked with eyes closed as he sensed the moister air, asking Qin Ran.


    "It is indeed a formation..." Qin Ran nodded, "And this is just the beginning, it will be better and betterter on."


    Tian Wenjin looked at the water umting at the bottom of theke, thinking, just how blissful it must feel to build and of paradise with one''s own hands.


    "Teacher, what should we name thiske?" Li Shiyin called out loudly sword in hand amidst the air, asking Qin Ran.


    Qin Ran looked at the female sword immortal in the sky and smiled, saying: "Thiske, let''s call it Sword Washing Lake!"


    The female sword immortal''s face immediately blushed. The teacher really could hear while in aa!


    But she raised her head and said: "Sword Washing Lake? Very nice!"


    She stimted her magic power again. There was sword qi squirming around the Qingxing Sword as she said: "This sword immortal will bestow upon you a stone stele."


    Sshing sounds came from the air as sword qi shot at a giant boulder by thekeside. Soon, a smooth and rounded stone was taken out from that boulder, with the three carved words "Sword Washing Lake" upon it.


    Although this Li Shiyin would fall asleep whenever she read books, in the end she came from a family with strict teachings, she did ultimately understand calligraphy. And coupled with her using sword qi to carve cat scratching posts and cat climbing frames for Chase Wind, her carving skill was also quite good.


    These three words "Sword Washing Lake" actually had considerable ir, both in calligraphy and the sword.


    Qin Ran used water to hold up that stone stele and erect it at the bank of the man-madeke, with the three words facing outwards. From now on, anyone who came to Dan Peak and looked over here would be able to see these words "Sword Washing Lake".


    "From now on, it will be called Sword Washing Lake." He said.


    The female sword immortal put away her sword and looked at the umting water at the bottom of theke, feeling extremely aplished... This was theke she dug, and it really was theke where she practiced her sword, her sword washingke.


    Perhaps many yearster when she attained immortality and became a celestial being, if there wereter generations who came to revere her former residence, they would point to thiske and say: "Look, this is theke where the female sword immortal washed her sword."


    "So this is the sword immortal''s Sword Washing Lake. To be able to witness it in this lifetime, I have no regrets!" Someone might respond thusly.


    Perhaps there would even be someone who gained insights into a new sword technique from gazing at the stele she had inscribed...


    "Hehehe..." She stared foolishly at theke, smiling.


    Qin Ran nced at his silly apprentice, toozy to pay her any mind. He said to the others: "Come try the new dishes I just developed!"


    This could also count as a simpleke opening ceremony. On the day water was let into theke, invite over some good friends to observe the ceremony, then drink wine and make merry, that was also a joyous affair.


    Qin Ran went to the back mountain and gathered ingredients, making a full table of dishes to showcase to these otherworldly natives what good food was.


    After eating their fill and drinking plenty, Qin Ran called Tian Wenjin over to walk across the bridge over the river to thekeside.


    "Thekeside should also have retaining walls built..." Qin Ran smiled, "Unfortunately, there are no more firebricks."


    "We can ask Senior Brother to help make some more." Tian Wenjin replied.


    Qin Ran looked at Tian Wenjin, seeing her expression, knowing that Huang Feiyu had not told her about the Immortal Spirit Scroll.


    "Do you know of the Immortal Spirit Scroll?" He asked her.


    "I''ve heard people talk about it before." Tian Wenjin nodded and said, "I heard that if you hold the Immortal Spirit Scroll you can take part in Lingnan Immortal Sect''s entrance examination. If you pass the exam, you be a disciple of Lingnan Immortal Sect."


    "If I gave you an Immortal Spirit Scroll, would you go to Lingnan Immortal Sect?" Qin Ran asked.


    "I wouldn''t be qualified." Tian Wenjin said.


    "Once you form your core, you would be qualified."


    Tian Wenjin shook her head and said: "Form my core? Who knows when that will happen. And I still don''t even know if I''d be able to form my core..."


    She lowered her head in thought, then continued: "Since I have already apprenticed into Daofeng Gate, I no longer think about those kinds of lofty things."


    "Is it really because of Daofeng Gate?" Qin Ran sighed.


    He took out a scroll shining with golden light from his cosmic bag and handed it to Tian Wenjin, saying: "I''ll just give this to you now then."


    "This is... Immortal Spirit Scroll?" Tian Wenjin recognized what it was but did not dare ept it.


    "Take it!"


    Tian Wenjin shook her head again: "Shiyin is more suitable now. She will definitely be a disciple of Lingnan Immortal Sect in the future."


    "Shiyin will not go to Lingnan Immortal Sect."


    "I won''t go either."


    "But someone wants to go."


    Tian Wenjin was suddenly stunned. She instantly understood why Qin Ran wanted to give the scroll to her. In that instant, she understood many things.


    After hesitating for a long time, Tian Wenjin finally epted the Immortal Spirit Scroll.
