Chen Qianhu looked at the big cauldron Zhang Ze was carrying, and felt it was an eyesore. But due to a certain unmentionable reason, he couldn’t find an excuse to scold him. The source of this content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Where did this cauldron come from?" "It’s Thousand Mechanism Pavilion’s new product, the Peach Garden Multi-functional Brotherhood Cauldron. The disciple happens to need it for the matter to report to you, so I brought it along." Zhang Ze has recently been humbly calling himself a disciple, since Old Ascender still hasn’t completely calmed down; it’s best not to provoke him excessively. Chen Qianhu sighed and was about to wave Zhang Ze inside when he heard a shout from outside the courtyard. His daughter came running in. Chen Qin carried a big flag and dashed in like a whirlwind. "Dad, look at this! It’s something good!" Junior Sister had just entered the courtyard when she saw Zhang Ze carrying the big cauldron. She was initially startled, then exclaimed, "So the big cauldron is with Senior Brother! No wonder I couldn’t find it." Chen Qianhu looked at his daughter, "What is that you have?" "Peach Garden Oath Banner!" Old Ascender increasingly felt helpless, looking at these two mischievous youngsters who might torment him for life, he asked, "So what do these two things do?" Chen Qin and Zhang Ze exchanged a glance, and then started a combined skill. Once the small banner was unfurled, a BGM of the song "Rolling Rivers Flow Eastward" began to reverberate in the courtyard. As the small banner fluttered, the phantom image of a peach grove appeared in the courtyard, peach blossoms drifted down, and vanished once they hit the ground. Zhang Ze then placed the big cauldron on the ground. The mechanisms inside rotated, splitting the cauldron in two. The upper half transformed into a small cauldron and flew to the center of the courtyard, three electronic vapor "smokes" rose from its center, puffing along with the BGM. The remaining half of the big cauldron unfolded into a sand table, with the entire Cyan Thorn region’s terrain miniaturized within. Centered on the sand table, lush green grass immediately filled the courtyard. Under the operation of the two mischievous ones, the atmosphere in the courtyard was charged with brotherhood, just short of an oath-taking ceremony. Chen Qianhu looked at the peach blossom phantom falling into his hand and then disappearing, "Did Lily make this?" Even the Sect Leader knows by now that things looking useful but with unclear purpose usually come from Lily. So he didn’t intend to dwell on the actual significance of these items. Chen Qianhu looked at Zhang Ze. "Go ahead, what achievement have you made this time?" Speaking of serious matters, Zhang Ze dropped his playful demeanor and pointed to the sand table on the table, "The segment of the Qinghe River running through Cyan Thorn, from upstream to downstream, has a total of fifteen large and small sects, among which five are secret branches of the Hundred Demons Sect." Chen Qianhu frowned slightly; he hadn’t expected there would be so many. "What’s Five Rams’ intention with these secret branches?" Chen Qianhu asked. "He wants them to help with construction." Zhang Ze replied. "?" Chen Qianhu was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "Honestly, I’m somewhat curious about what exactly the Ghost King Banner is?" No need to ask, this construction matter certainly relates to the Qinghe Association and the Ghost King Banner. Whenever Qinghe Association occurs, those attending aren’t limited to disciples of the Six Sects. There are also small sects from various places and even loose cultivators with endorsements can enter to observe. With so many people, accommodations naturally become necessary. Though cultivators have no problem with night breezes, having individuals sleep outdoors or arrange their own housing would be somewhat disgraceful. Thus, for each Qinghe Association, a temporary large city is erected at the selected location for visiting cultivators to rest. The Buddhist Sect has the ready-made Palm Buddha Country, which they just slap down on the ground. The Sword Sect usually uses prefabricated housing or hires nearby small sects and families to help construct it. Five Rams wants these secret branches to undertake the construction work. His order to ’Nameless’ is precisely this. Whether he has other plans or considers ’Nameless’ a wish-granting machine remains unknown. Chen Qianhu mulled over the sand table on the desk for a while before stepping out to invite Tang, who was already back at Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, over. "Taoist, please take a look; what can you say about this place?" Chen Qianhu pointed at the sand table, indicating a plain river bay, opposite Qinghe, where spans of mountain ranges appeared sliced by a sharp blade, with two Hundred Demons Sect secret branches on either side. This plain lied near Thousand Mechanism Pavilion. Tang circled the sand table once, recalling the terrain he observed during his stroll in that area, affirming his observation, "There’s a Shadow Vein under this plain." Then, Tang pointed to the mountain range across the river, "The main vein is here, and the positions of these seven or eight small sects are all atop the Earth Vein’s nexus. "These five secret branches are even in critical locations. "If the Taoist were to arrange things, he could spend over a century setting up an array. Once the array is completed, it would only take an instant to reverse the main vein into a Shadow Vein, swapping master and subordinate." Tang drew his finger along, not pointing at the plain but tracing the riverbank. "Anywhere along this line will do; they likely want to participate in city construction precisely for this." No matter where the Qinghe Association in Cyan Thorn chooses to host, it won’t escape this master vein or the Shadow Vein... The Hundred Demons Sect’s secret branches aim to make some moves during the temporary town’s construction. "How do you plan to handle this?" Chen Qianhu turned to look at Zhang Ze. "They love building houses, so let them build them. Lately, Thousand Mechanism Pavilion is actually quite short-staffed and a bit overwhelmed. Since they’re so proactive, why not let them contribute more?" Zhang Ze said, unfolding a design. Written on it were plans for Thousand Mechanism City, Thousand Mechanism Middle School, Thousand Mechanism... A whole package of infrastructure plans related to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
