The whole area changed color, with areas that he could select turning green and areas that he couldn't turn red.
He dragged around in the vicinity and saw that other than the wooden hut, there weren't any other areas that were suitable.
It had water resources nearby, surrounded by mountains and woods.
And most important of all, a vast patch of land that was ripe for spiritual crop farming.
The other best location had been taken up by a sect called the Thunder Sword Sect.
"If only there was an attack mode to destroy the Thunder Sword Sect," Lin Xuan Qi thought to himself.
The system notification appeared again with the message:
[You need at least 10 disciples to attack other sects.]
[Unlock the Disciple Recruitment Mode to do so.]
"Hmm..." Lin Xuan Qi frowned but focused on the task at hand next.
He double-tapped on the plot of land where the wooden hut was.
[Ding!]
[Grounds for Sect acquired successfully.]
[Please input the name of your sect.]
An input dialog appeared, and Lin Xuan Qi began to think of different names.
Wooden Leaf?
Fire Fist?
Heck it, why stick to a single element?
Only kids choose; adults want it all.
So, he entered the name "Primordial Essence Sect" into the dialog box.
After he clicked submit, another dialog box appeared.
[Please take a selfie for the portrait of the ancestor for disciples to pay respect to.]
[Every respect paid will level up your physique.]
Lin Xuan Qi tapped the camera button and took a selfie with it.
He thought that these scammers might be using this feature to farm unsuspecting players of their unsavory photos to extort them for money.
But it didn't happen.
After he clicked submit on the portrait, Zhao Jia Rui heard a thunderous voice erupt in the sky.
"Zhao Jia Rui, I'm stuck in another realm. I hereby decree that you help me, the Primordial Essence Sect Ancestor, set up my sect here in your realm."
Boom.
An altar appeared with Lin Xuan Qi's portrait in traditional ink and brush.
On the portrait he had a young face as he was, but in cultivation robes instead.
A majestic gold-inscribed signboard reading "Primordial Essence Sect" also appeared in Zhao Jia Rui's hands.
She marveled at the young and handsome face of Lin Xuan Qi and thought to herself:
Could the ancestor be that young?
She tugged at her robes and shook her head vigorously.
What was she thinking? The ancestor must have used some of his abilities to maintain his youthful look.
Something that was easily done by cultivators in the higher realm.
"The AI nowadays is getting out of control." Lin Xuan Qi zoomed in on his portrait on the altar and cursed out loud.
His selfie had been styled differently, and his clothes were changed into cultivation robes.
Other than using AI, there was no way it could have been done, he thought.
He stopped his thoughts and got to the next selection: "Farming Spiritual Crops."
The plot of land that was in front of the wooden hut turned green, and he double-tapped on it.
[Ding!]
[Spiritual Crops Module Unlocked.]
[Spirit Herbs x 1000 given]
[Spirit Rice x 1000 given]
[Spirit Fruits x 100 given]
[Happy Farming!]
[1% of crops harvested will be sent to host.]
[Get more crops sent to host with more Affectionate Points.]
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head at the last message.
What do you mean send harvested crops to me?
Oh, and the message about leveling up physiques earlier.
This game designer sounds like his ex-boss, promising him bonuses and such without delivering any of them.
He sighed and saw what was happening inside the game.
Zhao Jia Rui heard the booming voice of the ancestor again.
"Help me with farming these spiritual crops. Use them to fund the necessities for the sect."
After that, farming equipment and seeds for the crops appeared.
They were so numerous that they nearly filled up the entire wooden hut.
She quickly got to work with the farming equipment.
First, she tilled the land and allocated the areas for where the different spiritual crops would be.
For the spirit fruits, she planted them on the edge of the farming area, as when they grew taller, they would be natural protection for the other crops.
It took her a few hours of hard labor to finish half of the work.
When she was done, she was panting and drenched in perspiration.
Zhao Jia Rui looked up into the sky and wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead.
By now her robes stuck close to her soft and smooth skin,
revealing the shape of her dudou underneath and her voluptuous body.
Lin Xuan Qi couldn't believe his eyes at the effort the game designers took on the physics engine.
The bounce looked so real.
It was there with every step she took, and even when she panted, the physics engine did its work.
I'm not that type of guy. Lin Xuan Qi took a deep breath and said to himself.
This temptation wasn't enough to sway him from his ways.
As he thought the temptation wouldn't get worse,
He saw Zhao Jia Rui walk over to the well next to the wooden hut.
She looked into the well and hesitated.
"Can the ancestor see me bathing..." Zhao Jia Rui blushed when the thought of Lin Xuan Qi being able to peep at her bathing came across her mind.
After all, the ancestor had always been all-knowing and present.
What should I do now? she thought to herself.
Her ears got flushed red after she finally made a decision.
Since she was willing to do anything for the ancestor...
"You think I would fall for some rendered graphics?" Lin Xuan Qi murmured to himself.
Lin Xuan Qi saw her reaction and stood firm in his principles.
Even though they looked as if they were real.
Lin Xuan Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw Zhao Jia Rui bringing up water from the well.
"Wait. Don't tell me... No, stop! I'm not that type of person." He shouted and frantically tapped at the screen,
Accidentally zooming further into the screen.
