Fu Xian and Puyan walked out of Puyan’s courtyard back the way they came from.
Initially, Puyan wanted to show off some of his fruit gardens, but he thought that could wait.
After all, what could be more exciting than expanding your own courtyard?
Taking consideration of his junior brother, he simply took him to the construction hall right away.
The hall was also in the centre of the neighbourhood.
It was a prominent marble hall with some people entering and leaving outside, each one carrying things.
"Besides construction, the Hall also takes care of maintenance and repair.
While planters like us don’t have a need, the other two groups need it.
When alchemists experiment, it usually ends with their cauldron exploding. While the alchemists don’t get injured and their cauldron might not be destroyed, the room they were in would definitely face some issues.
Alas, who said pills have a faster effect than potions?
No matter how I see it, potions are just better.
Unfortunately, most alchemists in the immortal city are fire alchemists.
This is because our craft peak has an extremely strong fire vein, perfectly suited for fire alchemists and weaponsmiths.
Anyways, here we are!"
They entered the hall and saw the view inside: a large ceiling with two staircases on the side. In the centre there was a reception with a young lady behind.
"Let’s go up right away. The lower floor is where the first and second stage constructors work.
The upper floor is where the real constructors work, especially eldest senior sister!"
Puyan nodded to the receptionist before moving up the staircase on the right while explaining "The one on the left leads to the buraus of the third stage constructors, this one leads to eldest senior sister."
While Fu Xian was listening, he observed the atmosphere.
Looking all around, he felt like it was similar to an engineer or architect bureau.
On one side were various workers and people carrying things, on the other side there were people with scrolls in their arms, walking around.
He also instantly understood why the people didn’t simply put them away into their spatial bag:
Mostly it was because the boulders and other materials were too heavy and large, but the scrolls had another meaning.
They emanated spiritual power and special energy.
With a deeper look, he could see that each scroll contained a blueprint of a courtyard...
It was this blueprint that was special – spiritual light flowed, and countless runes were inscribed.
A voice before him interrupted "Hehe, little one, you shouldn’t peek into the matters of juniors!"
Startled, Fu Xian looked at the front.
Before him was a mature strong lady. She had a certain elegance and refinement, yet also carried the air of a construction worker and hard handed person.
He didn’t know how to describe her, but if he had to compare it to his past life, it was like an overly eager engineer who built the houses they directed by their own hands.
Just a moment later he realised the lady’s identity and bowed down "Junior Fu Xian greets Senior!"
This time he didn’t dare to say senior sister. No matter what, these were all his seniors. They might have allowed him to call them like that, and in their presence he even followed the way they called her and called her eldest senior sister, but before she directly allowed him to do so, he wouldn’t dare.
"Haha, sister Ziling, you scared junior brother! Just moments ago, he called you eldest senior sister, but now he doesn’t dare to do so anymore!"
"Is that so?" Qian Ziling asked with a smile, before patting Puyan on the shoulder "Puyan, how many times did I tell you that you shouldn’t embarrass juniors just to get a laugh?
Little Xian, don’t worry, you can just call me eldest senior sister.
In our neighbourhood, we are all close sisters and brothers.
It’s rare for us to have a new junior brother!
Usually it’s all nieces and nephews. A junior brother is much better, this way, I don’t feel like an old aunt, but just like a beautiful elder sister!" Ziling joked while she gestured the two to follow her into her bureau.
"Senior sister Ziling, how can this be! You look so young and elegant, very much like an elder sister.
Please don’t say you are old!
If I ever hear someone call you grandma, I will make sure to hit them!" Puyan joked, but the moment he said ’grandma’, he felt an extreme murderous intent coming from Ziling!
"I said aunt, who is talking about grandma?" Ziling’s eyes pierced Puyan, as if she was about to beat him then and there.
Then she shook her head "You’re lucky little brother Xian is here, else I would beat you up! This time I will spare you of this embarrassment, but next time, I won’t be so generous!"
Fu Xian on the side said a bit quietly "Senior brother, senior sister is clearly very young.
I heard some people, barely eleven or twelve, already became aunts and uncles because they elder siblings are simply a lot older.
Considering this, senior sister is really young.
It’s just that... well, the others got married too early or had disciples in their early years, which is why she is now called ’aunt’ at such a young age..."
Fu Xian used an excuse he had heard in his past life.
Well, there were indeed situations where this happened... but usually the young aunts and uncles were happy and delighted.
"Haha, little Xian talks very well! That’s right, if it wasn’t because brother Ruan and the others took disciples so early, how could I be an aunt?
Alright little Xian, tell me, what do you need?"
"Eldest senior sister, my request is just a small one, you really don’t need to take care of this.
I just thought I could greet you while I was here!"
Fu Xian started like this, but without giving any room to talk, he instantly continued "Since senior sister is asking, I shouldn’t hide things.
I just brough through and my courtyard hasn’t been expanded yet. I only wanted to improve it slightly so I could live better and use my spare time to earn sone coins!"
