Chapter 39 Weird Garden

Lucis completely lose interest at the fight between the two clan and leave the control room. Not only he can't learn any of the skill they use, their fight also too low level.

After stretching a bit, Lucis go to the garden room through the main hall and start installing the sun stone on the ceiling. The garden room is massive almost as big as the main hall itself.

At the center of the garden is a small pond filled with the river water and the stone floor around the pond has been replaced with dirt Lucis dug behind his house. Actually the dirt behind his house is nowhere enough so he dug the small hill that the villager use as a path the their farm. It's freaking out elder Dun when he saw the hill getting flatten In one night. He look at Lucis house with suspicion.

Everyone in the village build their house on a small flat land or on the hill since there's not much of a flat land around. Out of nowhere, the whole hill disappeared at the back of the village and wala.. a free spot for a couple of house. Elder Dun want to build a house on the spot but Lucis house is just too close so he drop the idea instantly. For some reason, he feel like Lucis doesn't want to interact with anyone in the village anymore so its not wise to be his next door buddy or he will accidentally offend this expert.

Actually, what elder Dun though is close but not to the extreme that he doesn't want to talk to anyone anymore. He never was in his house whenever someone visit him or else he'll accept them like usual.

Lucis house foundation attract a lot of the villager attention since it's a really big scale. The new resident came and look once in a while and their image of Lucis getting wild in their mind. Especially Konan, he feel threatened with the rumor of Lucis and Dini almost getting married.

While the rumors about Lucis is a daily conversation, Lucis himself doesn't realize this and casually running around in his cave with a lot if project on his hand.

Making a building material, mining, forging, attend to his new herb garden and running around the forest cutting tree and hunting wild beast. Especially this month, there's increasing number if wild beast in the surrounding area. His dimension storage is filled half if it with beast corpse.

After a week since the incident at the murky Town, Lucis stop hiding in the dark and began his project building his house during daylight while the snow still raining down. Suyi and her two little brother came and help, actually they're mostly just standing and looking around. There's not much they can do, all the material is flying around in the construction site like there's a ghost building the mansion.

"master, the lunch is ready." Suyi shout from beside the mud house. She's been calling Lucis with different title recently and finally settled with master. Her 2 brother is running around playing at the mansion site under Lucis watch.

"alright gang, foods ready." Lucis land on the ground and call the two kid.

"yes boss." the two kid answer in sync. They learned a lot from Lucis these days. Sukong, the elder brother of the two stop learning martial arts from Laijin, the new resident since 3 week ago. He help him sister making a clothes and taking care his younger brother when Suyi went to Lucis house.

Lucis start calling them to his house when he start building his house and teach them some simple body training to get them ready for energy gathering technique. Even Suyi has been learning from Lucis a week ago after Lucis finished his library in the cave.

"looks at this boys, we have meat. This is good for our muscle." Suyi prepare the food according to Lucis recipe. They've been eating luxury food recently.

"waa meat stew. Today is a meat stew." the youngest kid Subin jumping around happily when he smelled the food in the pot. He's just turn 10 this year's. He have been eating meat a lot recently but never as tasty as the meat stew in Lucis house. his sister is not really good at cooking apparently. Good thing, she's a good learner.

"Subin, behave." Suyi shout completely forgotten her own manner.

"haha, it's okay. It's cold outside. Of course meat is the best." Lucis brush Subin hair.

"right, who's getting married next month again?" Lucis look at Suyi. He honestly doesn't really care, he just asking on impulse.

"next month... Luna and Along." Suyi almost forgot about it too. She's really busy with a lot of stuff to study recently.

"Luna... Hahaha I remember elder moon, he want me to marry her granddaughter before."

"ah." Suyi calm expression change and the word Lucis said completely out of his imagination. "well.. Luna is beautiful after all. Master, you don't want to marry her?"

"Nah, she's normal people while I'm a cultivator. She'll grow old while I stay young." Lucis shake his head and his expression is like someone giving him a rotten food to eat.

"yeah, a fairy is more suitable for big boss." Sukong said and look at Lucis full of admiration.

"you hear that?" Lucis look at Suyi. "let's catch some fairy when we're free." Lucis laugh

"as you wish master." Suyi calm expression return. She have to maintain like this or Lucis tease her until she want to dig a hole and jump in it.

"okay boys, let's catch some fairy for everyone."

"brother, I want a fairy that can fly like you so she can fly me anywhere I want." Subin raise his hand seeking the boss attention.

"duh, all fairy can fly. They're not fairy if they walk like us." Sukong chop Subin head.

"well, talk about fairy, Suyi will become one too in the future." Lucis look at Suyi studying her expression.

"aiyah, I forgot. So we gonna catch my big sis?" Sukong slap his forehead and look at Lucis with hesitation. That was his tomboy big sister. She'll beat him up before he can do anything.

"don't worry, I'll teach you a technique to beat someone as strong as Suyi." Lucis slap his chest giving the 'no one can do it but me' look.

Suyi expression is as cold as the weather outside as she eyeing Sukong. She secretly planning her torture session for him when they're back at home later.

They continue this daily life as they building the mansion.

Lucis estimate that he'll be able to finish the mansion in a week or two but his imagination clearly far from reality.

After 2 week, they're barely finished 40 percent and still far from done. He even made a lot of mistake.

He's forced to stop building during the day because more and more people coming to take a look at the grand mansion under construction and the way Lucis move object around with magic like an animal in the zoo.

He's introvert and doesn't like standing out in the crowd. The next day, he completely stop building during daylight and only continue alone during night time. Lucis spend the day attending his garden and cultivating instead.

...

"this is amazing." Lucis standing at the center of the herb garden. Just 2 week and most of the herb is already growing tall and some can even be harvest. Some that require hundred years now look ten years or something old.

"is it because the energy or the array?" he walk near the red mushrooms with metallic shine on the surface. Besides the mushrooms is one if the hundreds array he set up that require his blood upon activating. Weird array indeed.

The entire garden room is as clear as a day. Lucis install hundreds of sun stone on the ceiling and the walls.

"maybe it's because of the thick energy and sun stone." he look up and get blinded with the light.

He turned around and walk to to pond. There's dozen of the fish that look like carp in it and it's growing bigger than what he remembered.vThere's also some plants under the water Lucis specially planted for the fish and it's growing mature in just 2 weeks.

"even the water here and at the entrance of the cave is giving off an energy." he poke the surface of the water with his finger. The longer he stay in that room the more surprised he is by what's happening in that room.

"Erm, by the look of this, I have enough herb to make a proper foundation potion." Lucis scan the room with his sense and smiles. He's completely satisfied even though he still hasn't uncover the secret of this strange phenomena.

"I think I can brought Suyi here in the future and she can cultivate start from the top floor." Lucis nod in satisfaction

At this moment, Lucis is on the 32 floor. He reached 2000 energy mark sometimes ago and it's look like he still far from seeing any hint of him reaching his limit.

(A.note: the story telling in this chapter is a complete mess. I don't know how to make it a bit better or interesting with my current skill. just smile and wave gang.)
