Chapter 222 - 194: Follow-up
Because the yard belonged to Chen Li, and he had the intention of settling down here for the long term.
This time, the construction of the underground shelter was naturally free of the mindset of making do with what was available.
The underground shelter had a ceiling height of about eight meters and covered an area of over a thousand square meters. Coupled with a concealed and well-designed ventilation system, standing inside felt neither stuffy nor cramped.
The lighting underground wasn’t provided by oil lamps but by a kind of treasure called Bright Light Pearls.
These pearls, the size of a baby’s fist, were said to be the eyeballs of a certain subterranean creature from foreign lands. They could absorb spiritual energy on their own and emit a faint white light. Their price was also quite steep; one pearl cost one mid-grade Spirit Stone.
Chen Li, being wealthy and generous, bought more than three hundred, embedding them in every corner of the underground shelter. No matter where one went, it was bright as day. As long as supplies were abundant, even if the entire family moved underground, their living and Qi Cultivation would not be hindered.
"My lord, if it weren’t for being underground, it feels even better here than above," Zhou Hong and Zhang Shuniang, the two women accompanying Chen Li on the visit to the underground, sighed as Zhou Hong caressed the smooth rock walls.
The precision with which the max level Traction Skill was controlled goes without saying, and after meticulous carving, the floor and rock walls of the entire underground shelter were as smooth as mirrors, without a hint of roughness. If there was any flaw, it would be the slight dampness.
The rock walls were all damp.
However, there was no helping it, given that it was more than fifty meters underground, and it was the peak of summer.
But come winter, it should improve considerably.
