Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16571

Chapter 16569. Upgrade

After absorbing all the 1,000 cubic meters of soil, the towering tree grew much taller, now reaching about 100 meters in height and divided into about twenty layers.

Looking at this enormous tree, Lingzhu and the others couldn’t help but gasp. Lingzhu said, “I never imagined this tree would grow so big! Quick, let’s go inside and see if the area inside has increased.”

Everyone then realized what was happening and responded. They entered the towering tree, and upon entering, they were all stunned. The space inside the tree had undergone a tremendous change. The entrance hall alone was more than ten times larger than before. Beside the hall were five corridors, each with ten doors—five on each side—all of which were closed.

Lingzhu and the others were stunned for a moment, then Lingzhu hurriedly said, “Oh no, where are our rooms? Where are our rooms?”

Everyone was taken aback by Lingzhu’s words. Indeed, as Lingzhu said, where were their rooms? The Sky-Supporting Tree had changed; it had grown much larger, and from six stories to twenty. Were they supposed to search for their original rooms one by one? How long would that take?

Just then, Zhao Hai’s voice came: “Fly upwards from the outside of the tree, fly to the top floor. All your rooms are on the top floor.”

Hearing this, Lingzhu and the others were startled, but they immediately understood Zhao Hai’s meaning. They all left their rooms and flew upwards to the top floor, only to find that there was a door on the outer bark of the trunk at the top. Lingzhu and the others then remembered that they hadn’t seen the stairs leading up when they were on the first floor.

They went through the door and entered the room. They were taken aback as soon as they entered, because they found that the room was a living room, almost identical in layout to the first floor. However, there were not as many rooms on the top floor. There were five corridors, but each corridor had only three doors.

Zhao Hai was waiting for them in the living room. As soon as they entered, he smiled and said, “My bad for not explaining clearly. You can just move the soil out of the room. As long as you put the soil in the other rooms of the Sky-Supporting Tree, it can absorb it itself. There’s no need to move it outside.”

Ling Zhu and the others laughed upon hearing this. Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Alright, come and sit down.”

Ling Zhu and the others sat down, and Zhao Hai also sat down. He then said, “This floor is the one I reserved specifically for us. Each of you has your own room. Your original rooms have all been moved here. Each room is larger than before, but your belongings remain in your rooms.”

Ling Zhu and the others nodded. Zhao Hai continued, “The floor below isn’t for living either. I moved the inner space room to the floor below. There’s also a large conference room on the floor below, for future use. Besides these, I’ve also prepared a weapon-refining room, a laboratory, and an alchemy room.” “However, I don’t know how to refine pills; that’s for future preparation.”

Hearing Zhao Hai say this, Lingzhu and the others all laughed. Lingzhu said, “Leaving room is fine, but you’ve planned these rooms so well now, what will happen if we upgrade the Sky-Supporting Tree later?”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “If the Sky-Supporting Tree is upgraded later, it can only grow upwards; the area of the main trunk won’t increase. If it does increase in area later, it will grow among the branches, so you don’t need to worry.”

Lingzhu and the others were relieved. Then Zhao Hai looked at Lingzhu and said, “Alright, go see your rooms. My room is over there; find your own rooms.” After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he pointed to his own room and went straight in. Lingzhu and the others went to find their rooms. As soon as they opened the door to a room, they were stunned. The layout of this room was similar to their original room, but the area was more than twice as large. Although they had stayed in better rooms before, this room was definitely the best they had stayed in since arriving in the God Realm.

They quickly found their rooms and went straight to rest. The next day, Zhao Hai came out of his room. Ling Zhu and the others were chatting in the living room. When they saw Zhao Hai, they were all taken aback. They all stood up, and Zhao Hai waved his hand, saying, “Sit down, everyone.” They sat down. Before, their help for Zhao Hai was partly a gamble, but now they genuinely respected him. Just the fact that he could conjure a magic array to create soil was enough to earn their respect.

After Zhao Hai sat down, he said, “The improvement of the seeds of the Sky-Supporting Tree, the Palace Flower, and the Heavenly Vine is complete. However, you have another task: remember to clean the room that holds the soil every day. If those rooms are full, the magic array will stop working, which would be a significant loss for us. Move the soil out of that room and put it elsewhere, either outside or in another room. The Sky-Supporting Tree will absorb the soil itself, creating more space inside the tree.”

Everyone responded. Zhao Hai continued, “I’ve already arranged the future evolution path for the Sky-Supporting Tree. You just need to move the soil out; you don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Everyone agreed. Zhao Hai continued, “I forgot to mention yesterday that I’ve also placed the teleportation array for the Sky-Supporting Tree on the lower level. So there are still many rooms on that level: a clay-forming room, a weapon-refining room, a pill-refining room, a laboratory, plus a teleportation array room. All these rooms are on the lower level.”

Everyone agreed. Zhao Hai added, “When the Sky-Supporting Tree stops absorbing soil, then you can let me know.” “Tell me, and I’ll handle it.”

Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai continued, “Alright, let’s go down and take a look.”

Zhao Hai led everyone to the next floor. Upon entering, they saw a space resembling a living room, but it was completely empty, without any sofas or anything like that. Zhao Hai explained, “This is the teleportation array room. See that compass over there? That compass can’t be moved. To go anywhere, you need to adjust it. However, right now, this teleportation array can only reach the underground palace flower, which is ten days away. If we set up teleportation arrays in other places later, we can…” “That’s when adjustments will be needed.”

Everyone responded, and Zhao Hai then opened a nearby room. It was a large, empty room, completely bare. Zhao Hai pointed to the room and said, “This is the alchemy room. See the middle section? There’s a fire well array there; you can adjust the fire output.”

Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai closed the door to that room, then walked to another door and opened it. This room was similar to the previous one. Zhao Hai said, “These two rooms are similar; both have a fire well array in the middle. Once the fire well array is activated, flames will spew out, and…” “To adjust the intensity and size of the flames, one room is used for refining weapons, and the other for refining pills.”

Everyone nodded again. Zhao Hai opened the door to another room and said, “This is the laboratory. There are no magic arrays here, but you can conduct all sorts of experiments here.”

Everyone nodded. Then they came to the door of the last room. Zhao Hai pushed open the door. This room was enormous, with an area of over 2,000 square meters and a height of 10 meters. The entire room could hold about 20,000 cubic meters of soil, but it was already about one-tenth full.

Zhao Hai turned to Ling Zhu and the others and said, “Clean out the soil in this room once a day, but leave some—about a thousand cubic meters, just in case. I’m taking some today, so you can clear out the rest.”

They all agreed. Zhao Hai went over and collected over a hundred cubic meters of soil. After he finished, he said to Ling Zhu and the others, “I’m going to fuse some Sky-Supporting Trees and Earth Palace Flowers. The Sky-Supporting Trees are for each of you to have a Green Leaf Boat, and the Earth Palace Flowers are for the distributors in other regions.”

Yesterday, Ling Zhu and the others might have thought Zhao Hai was being wasteful and extravagant, giving Earth Palace Flowers to the distributors. But now they didn’t think that way. Before, they were worried about not having enough soil, but now they weren’t worried at all. They could produce over two thousand cubic meters of soil every day; what did they have to worry about?

In the divine realm, the concept of day and night is practically nonexistent. Except for areas near the sun, everything else is pitch black, appearing to be nighttime. Even in those areas near the sun, the sunrise and sunset times differ from those in the lower realms. Therefore, the concept of day and night doesn’t exist there. So

how do Zhao Hai and his companions know how many days have passed? It’s actually quite simple. They are all calculating time. In the cultivation world, this is roughly the same across different worlds. Most worlds calculate a day as twelve two-hour periods (shichen). Therefore, when Zhao Hai and his companions refer to a day, they generally mean twelve two-hour periods.

In other words, they can now harvest over two thousand cubic meters of soil every twelve two-hour periods. What more could they ask for? How long would it have taken him to condense two thousand cubic meters of soil before? They hadn’t even considered this, because they’d never obtained that much soil before. Song Lin, for example, had spent several years gathering soil the size of a futon. Although his gathering speed would increase with his strength, it would still take a hundred years to gather over two thousand cubic meters of soil. Now, they only needed a day. The difference was so vast, what did they have to worry about? (End of Chapter)
