107: Chapter 107 Construction, Immortal Master
By the next morning, the small building was finally mostly finished.
The small building was not too different from the self-built houses in the countryside on Earth, but Zhao Feng had built a sloped roof, so its antique style would not clash with Yaoling Planet.
The stone Zhao Feng found underground was similar to white marble, which he turned into a white coating, so the entire small building was basically white.
Under the effect of his ability, the frame and walls merged together perfectly, appearing natural and seamless.
The small building had no courtyard, simply standing there alone; it looked very out of place with the surrounding environment, being far too pristine.
"Is this your work from a single night?" Luo Ying's surprised voice came from behind. "Is this your special ability? As far as I know, Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators do not have such great capabilities."
"I suppose so. You're up; are you feeling better?" Zhao Feng did not turn his head, but continued to use his ability.
The house was basically finished, but it was not very livable. If there were a lake here, and some trees were planted, it would be much more comfortable.
"Would you like to go for a spin in the sky?" Zhao Feng stopped his work and turned around with a smile.
"Only Human Race cultivators at the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage can fly using a Magical Artifact. I take it you are only at the Early Stage, right?" Luo Ying asked doubtfully.
"If I say it's possible, then it naturally is. Let's go!" Zhao Feng reached out his hand and smiled.
Luo Ying hesitated for a moment, then took Zhao Feng's hand. Her cultivation was only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, so she could not yet fly and naturally longed for the sky.
"Let's go!" Zhao Feng let out a whistle, and the two were already in mid-air.
Luo Ying let out a delicate cry and quickly hugged Zhao Feng tightly. She shot him a reproachful glare, but seeing that he was completely oblivious, she snorted lightly and began to observe the surrounding scenery.
Although she had been in the air when she fell that day, it was far less graceful than it was now.
The endless yellow sand, the towering mountains, and the gradually rising red sun were truly beautiful.
"The time to witness a miracle has arrived." Zhao Feng said playfully. Then, the two flew back to three meters above the ground. Without him making any visible movements, the yellow earth beneath him suddenly turned into a clear spring.
"Creation from the Void Realm!" Luo Ying exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.
"This is not Creation from the Void Realm."
The essence of modifying the terrain is to rearrange the matter within the area. The reason a clear spring could appear here is because there was an underground river flowing beneath; this was merely a displacement.
Wherever they passed, the ground turned into a clear stream of water. The morning sun reflected off the water's surface, shimmering, and with their clothes fluttering, they looked like a pair of immortal lovers.
"Immortals!" Li Laoshi, who was working nearby, rubbed his eyes, staring at the scene before him in disbelief. His knees went weak, and he couldn't help but kneel down.
"Wife, look! Immortals!" He shouted, pulling at his wife who was beside him, head buried in her work.
"Stop slacking off, you old fool... Good heavens!" Li Laoshi's wife also dropped her hoe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
The influx of faith snapped Zhao Feng back to reality. "Some villagers are coming. This lake is big enough, isn't it?"
"Hmm? What did you say?" Luo Ying, who had been dazed, was startled by Zhao Feng and asked quickly.
"Let's head over there." Zhao Feng gripped Luo Ying's waist and smiled.
"Brother Li, Sister-in-law, please get up. I am not an immortal." Arriving before Li Laoshi and his wife in an instant, Zhao Feng said quickly.
"You are... Young Master Zhao?" Li Laoshi asked hesitantly.
"It is indeed me."
Seeing the smile on Zhao Feng's face and sensing no aloof majesty, Li Laoshi relaxed. "Young Master Zhao actually has such great ability, and yet you are so kind. You are nothing like those Immortal Masters."
"Immortal Masters?"
"That's right. Last time I went to Yuanyang Town, I saw a few Immortal Masters there recruiting Disciples. The airs they put on!" Li Laoshi began to brag about what he had seen that time.
"Pah! They're nothing but lackeys for those monsters!" Li Laoshi's wife interjected indignantly from the side.
Li Laoshi quickly pulled his wife back and apologized with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, my wife is just a simple woman with little knowledge. Please be magnanimous and do not take offense!"
Zhao Feng looked at Luo Ying in his arms, puzzled.
Luo Ying glared at him with fire in her eyes. Zhao Feng immediately realized something and hurriedly let go of her, looking sheepish.
Although Luo Ying looked puffed up with anger, she explained, "This must be a nearby Sect recruiting Disciples. The Human Race has always been a vassal of the Yao Race. The fact that these Sects can openly recruit Disciples naturally indicates that they are also underlings of the Yao Race."
It seemed that Yaoling Planet was not peaceful either. If even ordinary commoners of the Human Race loathed the Yao Race to this extent, it meant that this resentment was long-standing and deeply rooted.
"They're allowed to act like dogs, but I'm not allowed to say it? Young Master Zhao looks kind, and he is definitely different from those guys!" Li Laoshi's wife slapped away Li Laoshi's hand and said loudly.
It was clear that Li Laoshi's wife was a talkative one; once she opened the floodgates, she couldn't stop.
"Every year, Yuanyang Town selects a few Saints and Saintesses to hand over. It sounds nice, but who doesn't know that these people are just being given to the monsters as servants? Look at Cheng Family Village—how pitiful! Over a dozen households were eaten clean, and we never saw those Immortal Masters do anything about it..."
"Sister-in-law, where did you hear this news?" Zhao Feng was very curious. How did a rural woman with no education come to know about such things?
"Er!" The woman suddenly stopped talking and hesitated for a moment. She looked around before whispering, "Young Master Zhao, you look like a good person, so I wouldn't normally talk about this. Not long ago, an old woman came to the village. She is a good Immortal Master, and she was the one who told me this."
Li Laoshi let out a "hmph," glanced at Zhao Feng, and scolded, "You woman! Didn't Old Granny Liu tell you not to reveal information about her? I'll beat... you to death!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he swung the hoe at her.
Zhao Feng caught the hoe with one hand. Seeing that the couple was about to start fighting, he hurriedly said, "Brother Li, Sister-in-law, I won't tell anyone. I am also very angry about the evil deeds of the Yao Race."
After much persuasion, he finally managed to calm them down.
"Young Master Zhao, Miss Luo, it seems you are also enemies of the Yao Race. You must be careful; once the Yao Kingdom finds out, there will be trouble."
"Rest assured, Brother Li. We will stay here for now and won't be going out, so nothing will happen. By the way, I've created a lake here, so it will be much more convenient for everyone to water their crops and such in the future." Seeing Li Laoshi's earnest expression, Zhao Feng was moved, and taking Li Laoshi's hand, he said.
"That's truly wonderful! With this water, the crop harvest will be much better." Hearing that Zhao Feng intended to let them use the water, Li Laoshi was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Amidst their expressions of gratitude, Zhao Feng and Luo Ying said their goodbyes and left; next, they still had to make a trip to Yuanyang Town.
