Chapter 203: No Ordinary Equivalent
As Wang Zijia continually consumed his mana, the cave sloped downwards, giving birth to a blood-red jade staircase.
Stepping on the stairs, Wang Zijia kept digging downwards. Only after reaching a depth of about ten meters did he stop going deeper and started expanding horizontally, carving out an underground space.
While digging earlier, the space wasn’t too big. The mud from the excavation, when compacted and transformed into crystal for the cave walls, didn’t leave much surplus.
However, as Wang Zijia expanded the underground space, there was more surplus mud turned into crystal. He had no choice but to store it in his storage bag, filling it with a bag of crystal soil in a moment.
Wang Zijia piled it up in a corner of the backyard and continued digging.
After three trips, a large mound of crystallized molten rock formed in the backyard, causing Wang Zijia to stop his efforts.
The newly established basement now had a space of dozens of square meters, with a height of over four meters. The entire underground space was surrounded by solid blood-red crystal walls, exceptionally hard and sleek, and looked very beautiful.
The only downside was the pervasive blood-red color. When illuminated, it glowed hot red, making it feel like one was immersed in a sea of blood. This, coupled with the already gloomy and dark underground space, made the atmosphere seem even more like the Underworld.
The square space resembled that of a coffer chamber bathed in blood-red light from a lantern.
The air was slightly stagnant, but for Wang Zijia’s current cultivation level, it was not much of an issue. He wasn’t planning on constructing any ventilation either, to maintain secrecy, he would think about installing a wind array plate later on.
"Okay, from now on, this will be my secret base. Whenever I have the time, I’ll expand it bit by bit until it becomes an underground palace!"
