Chapter 87 Right Side Hall, Zheng Xinhe
"【Right Side Hall】?"
Looking at the new building name on the panel, Chi Le was somewhat puzzled.
I had already constructed a [Side Hall].
"The main function of the side hall is to provide Qingshan Temple with an additional loyal temple keeper."
"In addition, the number of items in my inventory has been increased, allowing me to store more items in the Green Mountain Temple."
"And what is this 'Right Side Hall'?"
Chi Le immediately opened the panel.
[Architecture: Right Side Hall]
[Effect: Allows those within the Qingshan Temple to rest and quickly restore their physical and mental energy.]
[Required materials: 100 incense sticks, 40 ghost cores.]
"It's somewhat similar to the fountain in the game..."
After reading the description of the effects of the [Right Side Hall], Chi Le had some ideas in mind.
He himself usually stays at Qingshan Temple in the Ghost World, and he does not have any extraordinary abilities.
It doesn't consume much physical or mental energy.
As for the [Land God of Changxi Village], the [Soul-Guiding Spirit Soldiers] are even less necessary.
These two items can only exist for 2 minutes after being summoned.
When the time was up, it immediately dissipated and returned to the main hall.
When you call it up again, the status will be refreshed, just like when it came out of the factory.
But the day-returning people who enter the eerie world at night are different.
Only a minority of people choose to stay in Qingshan all night, waiting until dawn.
More daytime travelers will return after a short rest.
After leaving Qingshan Temple, they returned to the eerie mist to hunt down demons and evil spirits.
After all, the only way for the people of Zhougui to become stronger is to constantly hunt down demons and evil spirits in the strange world.
Moreover, the [mysterious products] and [mysterious relics] obtained after slaying evil spirits and demons can be sold for a good price in the real world.
Hunting monsters is physically demanding, and using supernatural abilities is extremely taxing on both physical and mental strength.
This leads to the fact that those who choose to hunt monsters at Qingshan Temple during the day will return to Qingshan Temple to rest.
After recovering some of their physical and mental strength, they continued to hunt monsters in the eerie fog.
Natural recovery is too time-consuming.
Using the [Strange Core] to speed up recovery seems a bit extravagant.
"The compromise of using the right side hall is just right for them."
"Similar to the teleportation service, it can also be used by those who return during the day for a fee, and Qingshan Temple will have multiple ways to obtain [Ghost Cores] or other resources."
Thinking of this, Chi Le immediately consumed the [Incense] he had just acquired, as well as the [Ghost Core] in his inventory.
A projection of a building with only pillars and no surrounding walls, resembling an elongated and enlarged version of a pavilion, appeared on the right side of the open space in front of the main hall.
It's right opposite the side hall.
The two side halls are symmetrical to each other, making the Qingshan Temple look much more comfortable overall.
Qingshan Temple is also a place for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
[100 incense sticks and 40 ghost cores consumed.]
[The right side hall is under construction. Time remaining: 05:29:54]
"Five and a half hours..."
Chi Le looked up at the sky.
"It probably won't be finished before dark, but it doesn't matter. I don't plan to refresh the [Mountain Gate] in the Ghost World tonight to welcome the returning people."
Not far away, the mountain gate was shrouded in swirling mist.
A new notification popped up on Chi Le's panel.
[Successfully consumed 50 Incense Sticks and 30 Ghost Cores.]
[Architecture: The shrine has been completed in Cuishui Village.]
The shrine accepts incense offerings from others, and the resulting incense offerings are added to the main incense offering pool of Qingshan Temple.
[Note: The area around the shrine is free of eerie mist and can serve as a makeshift shelter.]
[Note: The current Qingshan Temple is at the second level, and up to three shrines can exist simultaneously.]
After Chi Le finished checking the messages, Chen Cheng also walked out of the [Mountain Gate].
"Reporting to the Abbot, the shrine has been built in Cui Shui Village as you requested, the mission is perfectly accomplished!"
As soon as Chen Cheng stepped out of the mountain gate, he put his feet together and placed his hands near his temples.
He saluted Chi Le.
I don't know where she learned it from that day-returning man.
"Hey, Abbot, what's this?"
Upon seeing the projection that had appeared on the open ground, Chen Cheng, who had been pretending to be serious and saluting just a moment ago, immediately stopped practicing his martial arts, jogged forward, and tentatively reached out to touch the projection.
The building is still under construction and has no physical structure yet.
Chen Cheng only touched a wisp of air.
"You'll find out about this new place later."
"Oh... okay."
Chen Cheng pouted and didn't pursue the matter any further.
I sat down on the steps in front of the main hall and played with the ice flower in my hand.
After constructing two buildings, Chi Le's inventory was now depleted.
Current number of worshippers: 63
[Item: ... Ghost Core x21]
"The shrine in Cuishui Village has been built, and it receives a large amount of incense offerings every day."
"As for the [Strange Core], the portal service and the rest area service should be able to get quite a bit from the Day Returners."
"In addition, at night, the [Land God of Changxi Village] and the [Soul-Guiding Soldiers] are ordered to hunt down the demons and evil spirits around the [Mountain Gate], which will yield a considerable amount."
"Given enough time, these two resources can be made up for."
"Then the most important thing next is to collect the materials needed for the advancement of Qingshan Temple."
"Raise the rank of Qingshan Temple."
"There are still three extra new divine realm slots available, so we should go and acquire more new divine realms."
"The more gods and immortals I can command, the safer I am in this strange world."
"Now that Qingshan Temple has reached the second level, it shouldn't be a problem to collect second-level divine beings."
"If we're talking about a divine realm that might be worth recording nearby, and it has to be at least first-order, then it can only be Heliu Town."
Chi Le tapped her fingers on the armrest one after another.
He had long planned to go to Heliu Town.
However, due to insufficient self-protection capabilities and a lack of understanding of the mysterious world, and the need for someone to keep watch over worshippers when they come to offer incense, they did not go.
But now, he can command two first-order immortals at the same time, and Chen Cheng, the temple keeper, also manages the Qingshan Temple.
Chi Le felt that the time had come.
"And the market day in Heliu Town is in a few days, so we can join the group from Changxi Village and go together."
Having decided on the next steps, Chi Le closed her eyes and rested for a while.
"Now, we just wait until tonight."
……
Cuishui Village.
The sun gradually disappeared below the ridgeline.
The villagers returned home early and lit the lamp oil they had just obtained from Qingshan Temple.
The flickering firelight illuminated the peaceful and quiet village.
At the dilapidated temple, Zheng Xinhe, who had just returned to Cuishui Village from Heliu Town after finishing the demon-slaying ceremony, was completely bewildered and stood there dumbfounded.
"Uh, I..."
"Where did I get this for?"
"Is this still Cuishui Village?"
His gaze was fixed on the site where the small shrine had once stood.
It is now completely empty.
However, traces of the existence of the small shrine can still be seen on the ground.
The ruins that remained after the destruction by the [Fragrance-Eating Ghost]
It had already been cleaned up by the people of Cuishui Village.
The shrine of Qingshan Temple was built directly opposite the original small shrine.
Zheng Xinhe used his hand to compare the directions and confirmed that the dilapidated temple next to him was indeed the kind found only in Cuishui Village.
He rubbed his eyes again.
"Where has my huge ancestral temple gone?"
"What is this newly built thing?"
