After moving into the Heavenly Craft Clinic, Ye Ling was overjoyed. She had never thought that she would be able to live in such a beautiful house one day.
With Chu Xingyun's help, all the purchased herbs and equipment were transported over immediately. After a little tidying up, the clinic could open for business very soon.
While Ye Ling and the others were busy decorating the clinic, Chu Xingyun began to get close to the crowd to understand their needs for accommodation and food.
Originally, Chu Xingyun's suggestion was to demolish all the bamboo houses and build the entire island with bluestone buildings.
Bluestone buildings were sturdy, durable, and very beautiful.
Unexpectedly, all the craftsmen disagreed with this idea. They weren't used to living in stone houses. They preferred to be close to nature.
In their own words, they would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. For the people of Heavenly Craft Island, bamboo was their life! No matter what, they couldn't leave it.
Since they liked bamboo houses, Chu Xingyun certainly couldn't force them. However … no matter what, the shabby, cracked bamboo houses couldn't be lived in anymore.
However, although the bamboo houses were very old and shabby, the craftsmen's skills were still trustworthy.
The bamboo houses were very beautiful. They were completely integrated into nature. Even if they were cracked and exposed, the shape of the bamboo houses didn't change.
There were a total of 100,000 bamboo houses on Heavenly Craft Island. The front of the bamboo houses was a workshop, and the two sides were bamboo houses for people to live in. There were about ten people living in one shed.
Basically, the chief craftsmen, two assistants, and four apprentices all lived in the same shed.
It was worth mentioning that according to the traditions of Heavenly Craft Island, one's own son couldn't be taught by oneself. Instead, one would exchange teachers. After all … one couldn't be ruthless to one's own child. If one wasn't ruthless, how could one educate one's child?
The 100,000 sheds were arranged in picturesque disorder in the sea of bamboo. They weren't arranged neatly, but they were perfectly integrated into nature. There wasn't the slightest feeling of awkwardness.
On the contrary, although the newly built Bluestone Medical Hall looked beautiful, it was too stiff. Although the craftsmen had tried their best to blend in, compared to the bamboo house, the difference was huge.
If all 100,000 bamboo houses were to be demolished and rebuilt, the amount of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time would be too much. However, Chu Xingyun had his own way.
He took out one billion Spirit Stones and distributed them to all the craftsmen. There were one hundred thousand workshops, and each workshop received an average of ten thousand Spirit Stones.
These Spirit Stones were not a reward, but were used to set up a Spirit Gathering Array around the bamboo house.
This Spirit Gathering Array could gather Spirit Qi and increase the density of Spirit Qi in the shed.
Of course, the Spirit Gathering Formation alone wasn't enough. Following that … under Chu Xingyun's orders, Ye Ling concocted a large amount of Rejuvenation Fluid.
The so-called Rejuvenation Liquid was actually a medicinal liquid made from the Rejuvenation Pill. It was used to treat wounds.
However, this Rejuvenation Pill could not only treat humans, but if it was soaked in water and watered on plants, it could also bring back spring to withered trees.
Although the bamboo houses were made of bamboo and not wood, they were all wood-type creatures. Therefore, it was equally effective.
Under the large amount of Rejuvenation Fluid, the withered yellow bamboo gradually regained its green color.
All the cracks gradually closed up.
Between the bamboo joints, tender green bamboo branches grew out of the imperial edict, and tender green bamboo leaves hung from them.
There was no need to say much about the growth speed of bamboo. It wasn't a problem for them to grow ten centimeters in a day.
Therefore, in just three days, all the bamboo houses turned from withered yellow to incomparably verdant.
Under the craftsmen's ecstatic pruning, the 100,000 dilapidated bamboo houses instantly became incomparably brand-new. Everywhere was filled with the aura of nature.
Standing at a high place and looking around, the boundless sea of bamboo swayed gently with the breeze.
In the middle of the sea of bamboo, bamboo houses were scattered.
The bamboo houses were no longer bare. Branches and bamboo leaves grew out of the walls and roofs, completely connecting the bamboo houses and the sea of bamboo. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
At this point, the problem of accommodation had been completely solved. The one million Heavenly Craftsmen had obtained a brand new bamboo house. There was nothing more they wanted.
Next, Chu Xingyun had to solve the problem of food.
There was no need to say much about food. As the saying went, food was the most important thing for people. No matter how exaggerated it was, it would not be excessive.
The craftsmen did not have any requirements for clothes.
As for accommodation, the craftsmen loved bamboo houses the most. Chu Xingyun had already given them a new one.
There was nothing much to say about transportation. It was already good enough, so there was no need to do anything about it.
Education was also a system of its own on Heavenly Craft Island. Even if Chu Xingyun wanted to change it, the craftsmen would not cooperate.
Just think about it. If they were not interested in these, why would they work so hard?
In fact, most of the time, the reason why people worked so hard was just to eat better.
As long as they ate well, they would think about other things.
If they could not even fill their stomachs, who would care about other things?
The craftsmen had a great desire for food.
Of all the food, they craved wine and meat the most!
The craftsmen usually ate the bamboo rice grown from the Arrow Bamboo and the miscellaneous fish caught near the sea. They could not taste meat and wine even once a year.
Arrow Bamboo was everywhere on Heavenly Craft Island. The seeds of the Arrow Bamboo were the bamboo rice.
Bamboo rice is connected to the gods. It lightens the body and benefits the qi.
Its seeds are round and green. Its taste is especially fragrant. It was more precious than glutinous rice.
It was cooked and eaten as a meal. It was a rare food and also a health food. It was respected as the "aristocrat of green food."
Legend had it that the bamboo rice was the food of phoenixes. There was an ancient saying that phoenixes would not perch on anything other than parasol trees and would not eat anything other than bamboo seeds.
However, such precious bamboo rice was only ordinary food on Heavenly Craft Island. The craftsmen had eaten enough of it and were sick of it.
Heavenly Craft Island was isolated in the sea, so transportation was very difficult. Usually, only when weapons were transported would a ship of meat and wine be transported here.
However, for the Heavenly Craft Island with a population of a million, those ships of meat and wine were useless except for drawing out their gluttons.
Although there was a transmission formation on Heavenly Craft Island, other people did not have such a huge space as the Samsara Space.
Since transportation was not easy, naturally, no one would do it.
Of course, no matter how much one talked about it, the real reason was because of benefits.
The residents of Heavenly Craft Island were not allowed to leave the island for their whole lives. Therefore, the residents on the island did not have the concept of money.
There were a million people on the island, but they did not have a single spiritual stone. Even if they had spiritual stones, they were only used as refining materials instead of circulating as currency.
