2227 Aren’t You Worried That Your Body Won’t Be Able to Keep Up With All the Hard Work?

The underground palace spanned 4,000 square meters, and the space had been carefully divided. When the width of the walls was included, the structure took up more than 30,000 square meters.

The surfaces of these 30,000 square meters were covered with hand-carved depictions by the Spirit Craftsmen.

Even before the work was done, it made for a breathtaking sight.

Now, the underground palace could only be described as dazzling.

Hu Quan was fully focused on the Spirit Craftsmen side of things.

After learning that Sun Ningxiang and Condense Fairy Orchard had joined Sky City, Hu Quan asked Lin Yuan to contact Sun Ningxiang twice.

It was not that Hu Quan wanted to become closer to Sun Ningxiang but that he wanted to obtain some rare plants from Condense Fairy Orchard that could be used to beautify the environment.

Flowers like the Gem Bell Orchid changed colors under sunlight. The flower cores were similar to gems and seemed to be full of fire.

There was a special charm when the Gem Bell Orchid climbed up the jade-textured pillars with carvings all over them.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Hu Quan’s eye for beauty had improved significantly since joining Sky City.

During this time, he had the opportunity to come into contact with many rare spiritual ingredients that he had never had the chance to interact with before.

A Spirit Craftsman like him needed to gain more experience in order to broaden his horizons and expand his design perception.

After Liu Jie saw this, he could not help but recognize that Hu Quan’s abilities had broken through past Class 5 Spirit Craftsman.

Now, the underground palace could stand toe to toe with Night Leaning Moon’s Midnight Palace.

But it went without saying that the underground palace was a far cry from being as mechanically integrated as the Midnight Palace.

When Hu Quan spotted Lin Yuan, a smile spread across his face as he walked over to greet them.

At first, Lin Yuan thought that with Hu Quan’s character, he would first praise his achievements and express how satisfied he was.

But instead, the first thing that Hu Quan did was sigh before he lamented, “Lin Yuan, I wish that I had broken through earlier. At my current level, I see that my previous designs were all trash. But the structure has already been built, and I cannot change them. Once they’re changed, all of the previous base structures will have to be removed. So, I had no choice but to continue building on top of the original foundation. Because of this, I can’t help but have a few regrets about this piece.

“Lin Yuan, you mentioned to me previously that you want to build a true Sky City. How much longer before I’ll get to show off what I’m really capable of?”

Lin Yuan could not help but blink a few times when he heard what Hu Quan said.

This was partially because Lin Yuan knew Hu Quan’s principles and never-ending passion as a Spirit Craftsman. It was truly Sky City’s privilege to have such a responsible and dedicated Spirit Craftsman.

But on the other hand, Lin Yuan was also wondering how Hu Quan managed to work so hard. Was he not afraid of his body failing to keep up with all that hard work? He was already raring to dive into another giant project after he had just completed a six-month-long project.

While Hu Quan was willing to add value to Sky City, Lin Yuan could not bear to use Hu Quan like a machine.

“Uncle Hu, it will take at least a month before we begin building the true Sky City. You should use this time to rest more!”

Hu Quan hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Lin Yuan, you don’t know what makes me happy! After I was done drawing up the design for the underground palace. I realized that my Spirit Craftsman skills have improved significantly. I am obsessed with and going crazy over this improvement!

“Since another month is needed before the construction of the true Sky City can begin, why don’t you take me with you to the marsh world? I wonder if those brats have improved after half a year there.

“As their teacher, I should be properly guiding them. I can also take the time to draw out a plan for the territory in the marsh zone or at least come up with a blueprint! This way, even without me there, my disciples won’t end up building something completely devoid of beauty.”

At that point, Hu Quan paused as though he was going through his memories before he said, “Among my disciples who went to the marsh world, the one in charge is called Liu… Liu something. Has he been doing a good job?”

Lin Yuan knew that Hu Quan had been laser-focused on the construction of the underground palace for a very long time and had set everything else aside.

But it had to be said that Liu Tong’s presence in Hu Quan’s mind was tiny!

Frankly, Liu Tong and Hu Quan were cut from the same cloth when it came to their work ethic. Those two were equally voracious about work. There were even days when Liu Tong worked longer hours than Hu Quan did, although this was also due to the fact that he had contracted the Vitality Sloth.

Normally, a large project was undertaken by a few leading Spirit Craftsmen who would delegate most of the tasks to the construction team. There were very few cases where the Spirit Craftsmen involved themselves in the building process.

Thus, having 400 to 500 Class 2 and above Spirit Craftsmen working in the marsh world was considered a luxury.

If Sky City was not sponsoring all of these Spirit Craftsmen and they were hired from the Spirit Craftsman Association instead, it would cost over 500,000 Radiance dollars per month, and that was if so many could even be hired.

How could Lin Yuan not be satisfied with a territory built by such a team of Spirit Craftsmen?

Lin Yuan had always known that Liu Tong was hardworking and diligent. He had not become stained by arrogance or complacency at all after obtaining a Bronze/Legend fey.

Even Wen Yu, who rarely had a compliment for anyone, had spoken well of him to Lin Yuan more than once.

The only reason Hu Quan was unable to remember Liu Tong’s name was that Liu Tong’s presence in Hu Quan’s mind was much too weak.

Lin Yuan did not mind helping Liu Tong increase his occupancy in Hu Quan’s mind.

“I am very happy with Liu Tong! He can handle all tasks in the marsh world on his own. But while Liu Tong and the rest have the strength, they don’t have the strong Spirit Craftsmen capabilities that you have.

“If you’re willing to draw out a plan for the territory in the marsh world, Liu Tong and the rest will definitely be able to follow it to improve the territory even further.”

Lin Yuan did not forget to feed Hu Quan’s ego while he was praising Liu Tong.

Hu Quan looked surprised when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He had not expected someone as unimportant as Liu Tong to catch so much of Lin Yuan’s attention.

For Lin Yuan to praise Liu Tong to such a degree, it had to mean that Liu Tong had some potential.
