It sounds like there's nothing wrong.
But…
The system was a little confused: "Isn't the exciting plot of this world centered around Sun Wukong and Journey to the West? Wouldn't it be boring for you to stay in Baihu Ridge?"
"boring?"
Jiang Lin shook his head: "How can it be boring?"
He had had enough of the thrilling days of life and death. He was chased by zombies every day and had no time to catch his breath.
"Now there is such a stable and peaceful place. Although it is a little poor, it is rich in resources and has simple and capable indigenous people. I can enjoy the process of building this place from scratch, and then practice peacefully to improve my strength. Why not?"
The system was about to say something, but Jiang Lin suddenly said, "System, you recondensed my soul and signed a contract with me, allowing me to practice again and visit different worlds to experience different scenery. At first glance, it seems that I have taken all the benefits, but I know that you did all this not for charity, right?"
He said confidently: "If I do these tasks, or in other words, complete the tasks you mentioned, you will definitely get some benefits, or achieve some goals, right?"
The system readily admitted: "Yes."
"Since this is a deal." Jiang Lin spread his hands, "All I need to be responsible for is completing the task. As for the process, we can discuss it, but I hope you can stop interfering with me."
The system noticed that although this host was always smiling and looked gentle and harmless, he was clearly quite opinionated in his heart.
He thought for a moment: "Can you guarantee to complete the task?"
Jiang Lin asked back: "Then can you guarantee that if you hug your thighs as you said, you will definitely complete the task?"
System: “…No.”
"So," Jiang Lin said, "even though I'm on a mission, I prefer to live my life according to my own wishes. I will try my best to avoid risks and avoid the final ending of my original body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lin felt his mind become clear and at the same time, wood-type spiritual power from all directions rushed towards him crazily.
Jiang Lin:
He was stunned for a moment, and realized that the Nine Spirits Technique in his body was automatically running, and Qingluo, who was lying on the wall of the cave, also began to sway happily.
Has he made a breakthrough
Without time to think, Jiang Lin closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.
The system looked at the scene in front of it with mixed feelings. After a long while, it murmured softly, "Okay, you are definitely better at judging people than I am. I won't care about him anymore."
On the second day, Jiang Lin opened his eyes in the morning, his eyes were shining brightly.
Those casual words he said yesterday actually led to a great improvement in his martial arts skills by accident, and he has already reached the state of perfection in the first level of the Nine Spirits Technique.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and he clearly felt that he was more sensitive to the wood-type spiritual power around him and had a deeper understanding of the flowers, trees and vegetation.
But the bigger surprise is yet to come.
"Master!" A clear child's voice sounded in his ears.
Jiang Lin was stunned and turned to look over.
The walls of the cave were covered with green ivy vines that trembled and, very appropriately, were covered with small white flowers.
"Qingluo?" Jiang Lin looked at her suspiciously, "Are you talking?"
The green radish danced even more happily, and a crisp childish voice rang out: "It's the green radish, the green radish can talk."
A piece of information was transmitted to Jiang Lin's sea of consciousness.
His spiritual plant is closely related to him. When Jiang Lin made a breakthrough, Qingluo, as a spiritual plant, also benefited greatly.
She had already developed intelligence from an ordinary plant, and this time she had made a qualitative leap and entered the ranks of demon cultivators.
With time, it will even be able to transform into a human form and practice independently.
Spiritual plants and their masters complement each other. If Qingluo can practice independently, it will also be beneficial to Jiang Lin.
"Congratulations, Qingluo." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Qingluo shook happily.
Jiang Lin noticed someone approaching outside the cave and said, "Just practice well here. I'll go out for a while."
Qingluo: "Okay, Master."
Jiang Lin walked out of the cave and found that the monsters had all arrived.
An impatient cat like this one would even bring its prey with it.
Jiang Lin looked at her holding a pheasant in one hand: "..."
Fortunately, the civet cat remembered what Jiang Lin said last time, that freshly slaughtered prey is fresher, and those pheasants were still cackling.
The old ape was a little more capable of acting like a demon. Together with a few of his fellow monkeys who had transformed into human form, he brought some fruits to offer to Jiang Lin.
But the fruit from Baihu Ridge...
Probably because it is wild and no one takes care of it, not only does it not look very good, but the taste is even worse.
Jiang Lin took it and put it aside without planning to eat it.
He counted and found that all the monsters that had come last night were here now, and some that he hadn't heard about last night also came today.
The extra ones are mostly monsters such as rabbits, goats, foxes, etc.
This is pretty much what Jiang Lin expected.
Most of the monsters that are herbivorous or weak in nature have docile personalities after they transform.
Creatures like pythons and leopards are originally wild beasts that are predators in the forests. After they become monsters, they become much more powerful and their personalities become more difficult to discipline.
Jiang Lin knew that the monsters were all watching and waiting for his next move.
He smiled slightly: Since you are watching, just keep watching.
Jiang Lin had already chosen the location of the house, which was in a valley in the center of Baihu Ridge.
There is a water source outside the valley and a waterfall behind it. The valley has vast plains and quiet scenery.
After choosing a position, he began to direct the monsters to work.
At times like these, the advantages of monsters are reflected—good physical strength, strong endurance, and the ability to cast spells.
Cutting trees, cutting planks, laying foundations...
In less than an hour, the outline of the house was formed.
Jiang Lin taught them how to decorate the house. He didn't have any elegant aesthetic taste and just wanted to keep the house as simple as possible.
In the bedroom, there is a bed and a table.
The bed was covered with thick, warm animal skins, and the floor was covered with smooth bluestones.
The other rooms are even simpler, with windows built and a set of the simplest furniture: a table and chairs.
However simple it was, the chair with a backrest still aroused the curiosity of many monsters.
Those who usually have no manners when sitting and would squat on the ground or even roll around, were curious and sat on the chairs properly.
The only thing that is pretty is the garden.
The shrubs used for the fence were found by Pheasant and her friends. They still had their roots and tender green leaves, and were trimmed neatly and stuck to the ground one by one.
For the sake of beauty, the pheasant went to the valley to find several different vines with colorful flowers and wrapped itself around them.
The tree in the yard was found by Jiang Lin from the back of the valley. It was an old cloud crown tree that was more than 800 years old. It had never had any chance and had not become a spirit. Jiang Lin saw that it was growing lush and lovely, so he moved it and placed it in the courtyard.
In the future, he will practice every day, and this old tree will be exposed to some spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which may be an opportunity.
