Although Su Chen was mentally prepared, in the process of building the shelter, he still encountered many difficulties.
"Isn't this Hao Stone a little too fucking hard?!"
Even with the Hao Stone carving knife and the Hao Stone sword in hand, Su Chen could barely cut the Hao Stone with these tools. However, the process of cutting the Hao Stone was still unimaginably difficult.
Su Chen spent quite a bit of effort before he barely managed to cut a crack in a piece of Hao Stone.
He wanted to cut this complete square shaped Hao Stone into ten centimeter thick Hao Stone slabs to make it easier to process and manufacture.
But now Su Chen found that it was extremely difficult to cut the Hao Stone into slabs.
The length of the carving knife was limited, and the thickness of the Hao Stone sword could not cut deeper. This was a damn trap.
But if he used the complete Hao Stone to build the shelter, the edge of the mortise and tenon structure would be difficult to deal with. Moreover, the area of the shelter would be much smaller, and it would not be able to protect many people.
"Is there any way to cut the Hao Stone into slabs?"
Su Chen racked his brains and sat there for a whole night, thinking hard. In the end, he still came up with a solution for him.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Since the existing tools were not suitable, then he would have to create new tools.
What was the most suitable tool to cut large stones?
Of course, it was a saw.
Su Chen prepared to cut a piece of Hao Stone to create a Hao Stone Saw.
But this was not an easy task. Before Su Chen began to act, he first designed multiple plans and simulated experiments with other metals. After working for half a day, he barely found a feasible plan and was ready to implement it.
"First, I need to use a carving knife to cut a long piece of Hao Stone that is two meters long, five centimeters wide, and 0.2 centimeters thick."
"Hao Stone cannot be polished. I can only use a carving knife to flatten it bit by bit."
"The cutting of a saw is particularly difficult. There cannot be any mistakes. Fortunately, Hao Stone is not only hard enough, but also tough enough. It should be difficult to break."
"What's left is patience and perseverance."
"I have to make full use of my time. I need to set up a Primordial Spirit Array Formation to attract the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth into the basement. This will allow me to work while absorbing the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth to nourish the Dao Seed."
"At the same time, I can also choose some Cultivation Techniques to cultivate at the same time. Previously, I obtained a batch of Cultivation Techniques from the Purple Tool Pavilion. In addition to the Cultivation Techniques from the Ten Thousand Devil Kingdom, I still have many Cultivation Techniques that I have yet to cultivate. These are all Skill Points."
Multitasking wasn't a big problem for Su Chen's soul, but there was still a certain amount of pressure.
However, with pressure came motivation. This was also a test that Su Chen was giving himself.
Just as Su Chen was about to start working, Ye Beibei and Yue Ya 'er suddenly came to the basement together.
"Found it!"
"Sir, your new home is too big. It took us a long time to find you."
Su Chen had an idea and said, "By the way, you came at the right time. I'll give you a mission. Take this design and decorate my residence according to the plan. If you need any materials or funds, ask the Mahamayuri for them. She will give them to you."
The two girls immediately pouted. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have come. They would have been used as laborers the moment they arrived.
"Sir, you really know how to order people around."
"I'm the archbishop of the Sanctuary, and you actually want me to be a renovation worker!"
Su Chen chuckled. "So what if you're the archbishop of the Sanctuary? If you don't listen, I'll still spank you!"
Ye Beibei swallowed his saliva and said helplessly, "Let's go, Yue Ya 'er. Let's find more helpers. Otherwise, if you leave everything to the two of us, you'll be exhausted."
"Sir, I can have a room that I can decorate myself as my room."
Su Chen said, "Okay, I'll give the two of you a master bedroom each. You can arrange it however you want. The expenses are on me."
"Sir, you're the best!" Yue Ya 'er pounced on Su Chen and kissed him on the face. She left happily with the design.
Ye Beibei was stunned. She rushed up and kissed Su Chen. "My master bedroom is closer to you than Yue Ya 'er!"
Tsk tsk, even the archbishop of the Eastern Border Sanctuary knows how to scheme.
Su Chen smiled. "Beibei is definitely more carefree than you in this regard. She will definitely choose the room closest to the kitchen."
"That's true …"
Ye Beibei was helpless. She said, "I don't care. I want the room closest to you. After all, I'm your legal wife."
"In that case, you might as well not ask for a room. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to live with me?"
"Uh … That won't do. I need my own personal space."
Su Chen smiled. "It's up to you. Do as you see fit."
After sending Ye Beibei away, Su Chen was about to get to work. However, Kong Lingxuan and Xiao Yushi also ran over and asked Su Chen for a room.
Fortunately, he had prepared more master bedrooms. Otherwise, it would have been difficult.
As expected, a man should have a big house!
After sending off the two girls, Su Chen really started to work in one go this time.
Who would have thought that I, Su Chen, would one day become a stonemason …
"I'll cut, I'll cut, I'll cut, cut, cut!"
The work of cutting the stone was dull and boring. It also required one to pay attention to one's mind, absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and practice cultivation techniques. Su Chen's mind was divided into three, and he was extremely busy.
After three days, Su Chen finally succeeded in creating the Hao Stone Saw.
He immediately began experimenting with the Hao Stone Saw.
The effect was good. Although the speed of cutting the Hao Stone was still very slow, with the Hao Stone Saw, cutting the stone slabs was not a problem.
He did some calculations. It would take at least six hours to cut a stone slab. At most, he could cut four slabs a day. It would take seven or eight days to gather all the slabs. Then, he would have to cut the mortise and tenon structure on the stone slab, which would take even longer.
A conservative estimate was that it would take a month to build the shelter.
It was difficult, but as long as it was built successfully, it would be done once and for all.
Clap!
Another stone slab fell.
Su Chen was about to move the stone slab to the side and pile it up when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on the stone slab.
"This is …"
Su Chen was shocked to find that some words were recorded on the stone slab.
"Wow, this is the inside of the Hao Stone. How can there be words?"
Su Chen was very surprised. He quickly squatted down and looked carefully.
However, as soon as he took a look, before Su Chen could read the words clearly, he suddenly felt dizzy.
A strong sense of weightlessness hit him. Su Chen's vision turned black, but he did not lose consciousness. Instead, he felt that his soul was fiercely falling. The falling speed was getting faster and faster, and Su Chen's soul felt like it was about to be torn apart.
"Ah …"
Just as Su Chen could not help but roar out, he suddenly found that his consciousness appeared in a white space.
This space was not large. It was like a room filled with white light. There seemed to be a figure in front of him, bathed in the holy light.
"Who … are you?"
