Bab 63: Chapter 63: Identification Function Activated
In the darkness, Lin Xiao hesitated as he looked at the old man lying quietly on the bed, resting with his eyes closed.
How should he approach this elderly man without scaring him?
After all, it was late at night, pitch black. If he suddenly spoke, he was afraid he might give the old man a fright.
After a moment of hesitation and unable to think of a better way, Lin Xiao raised his index finger and used the fire control technique he had recently learned to ignite a small flame at his fingertip.
Lin Xiao thought this might help reduce the shock for the village chief, Du.
He approached the bed and softly called out, "Village Chief Du, Village Chief Du, don't be afraid. It's me, Lin Xiao."
The elderly village chief, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was startled by the sudden voice. However, upon hearing the name "Lin Xiao," he calmed down a bit.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the small flame flickering in the darkness and Lin Xiao's face beside it.
Village Chief Du clutched his pounding heart.
"You, you, you—what, what is this?"
Lin Xiao felt a bit embarrassed. "Village Chief, don't be alarmed! It's me, Lin Xiao! I'm alive! Really, if you don't believe me, you can touch me."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao quickly grabbed the village chief's hand.
Feeling the warmth of Lin Xiao's hand, Village Chief Du finally calmed his racing heart and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao'er? Why have you come to my house in the middle of the night…?"
He glanced again at the small flame on Lin Xiao's fingertip, his eyes filled with surprise.
Lin Xiao hurriedly explained, "To be honest, Village Chief, I've been cultivating on the mountain and have become a legitimate cultivator. The sect I've established on the mountain, Lingxian Sect, is a proper cultivation sect, just like the Shangyang Sect that recruited disciples in town before."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Du nodded in understanding.
He had suspected that Lin Xiao was indeed practicing cultivation ever since the incident with Liu Laoda. He hadn't expected that the boy had become so powerful…
Village Chief Du glanced again at the small flame on Lin Xiao's finger.
Lin Xiao didn't mind and quickly got to the point. "Village Chief, you may not believe this, but I have to tell you anyway. I'll be leaving on a journey soon, and a few days ago, when I went with my family to Tomb Hill for Qingming, I sensed something unusual there. I can't say exactly what it is, but with my current cultivation, I feel it could be a dangerous presence!
So, for the safety of the village, if anything happens while I'm away, you can lead the villagers to the halfway point of North Mountain, to our Lingxian Sect. It should be safe there."
Village Chief Du frowned slightly, but as a seasoned village chief with decades of life experience, he remained calm and asked Lin Xiao, "Our Shushui Village has been here for generations, and apart from the occasional drought, there's been no real danger. Xiao'er, are you sure about this?"
Lin Xiao shook his head decisively. "I'm not sure. It's just a hunch, so I came to tell only you as a precaution."
It was unclear what the village chief was thinking, but he smiled and nodded at Lin Xiao. "Good boy, it's kind of you to think of the village. Don't worry, if anything does happen, I'll do my best to guide the villagers up the mountain."
Having delivered his message, Lin Xiao didn't linger. He said goodbye to the village chief and left Du's house.
But he didn't go home just yet. After some thought, he headed to the home of Hu Delu, the village head, who seemed more reliable and influential.
Although he couldn't provide teleportation talismans for the entire village, he could still help them prepare in other ways. This was the village where he had lived for over ten years, and he wanted everyone to be safe.
Thus, the night passed.
The next day arrived.
Today was the day Lin Xiao had planned to set off.
He had brought his family's large cooking pot, set up a makeshift stove next to the shed, and asked Yang Jinshu to help steam a big pot of fragrant spirit rice.
He also went to the mountain stream and used a new spell he had created called "Heavenly Net" – First Level: Precision Control, to catch a dozen large fish.
This first level of the spell simply allowed him to control invisible forces (like air and water) using spiritual power, forming loops to lock onto targets.
Fish: Catching fish with spells! How unfair!
The sect members had finished their cultivation early today and were all gathered around the stove, waiting for the meal.
During this time, Lin Xiao adjusted the sect's defense formation to allow the entire Shushui Village to enter if necessary.
Now that everyone in the sect had cultivation, with some even reaching the third level of Qi Refining, and having learned various spells, Lin Xiao wasn't too worried about any trouble if the villagers did come in.
Suddenly, a notification sound rang in Lin Xiao's mind:
[Ding—Congratulations! The sect's reputation has reached 50. The item identification function has been successfully unlocked. Note: The item identification function can only be used when items are stored in the host's private storage.]
Identification function!
Lin Xiao was overjoyed. He could finally identify the items in his private storage!
Now, whenever he obtained new items, he wouldn't have to guess their functions.
Excited, Lin Xiao quickly excused himself from the group near the shed and went to sit under the ten-mile peach blossom tree.
He opened his private storage, eager to identify all the items whose functions he wasn't sure of!
First up were the Wuchun Grass seeds he had acquired long ago!
Lin Xiao clicked on the Wuchun Grass seeds in his storage, and a line of small text appeared:
[Wuchun Grass Seeds: Can grow Wuchun Grass. Maturation cycle is three seasons.]
Lin Xiao was momentarily stunned.
Why didn't it tell him what Wuchun Grass was used for?
He quickly realized it was because these were seeds, not the grass itself.
For a moment, Lin Xiao didn't know where to direct his frustration.
With that realization, he decided to skip over the other seeds in his storage.
Next, he clicked on the First-Level Spirit Vein Fragment.
[First-Level Spirit Vein Fragment: Combine three fragments to form a basic spirit vein.]
Seeing this line of text, Lin Xiao was thrilled. Just three fragments to form a basic spirit vein!
And he already had two, which meant he only needed one more to give his sect its very own spirit vein.
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Xiao clicked on his sect uniform in his private storage.
He was about to enter a secret realm, and having the right gear was essential. Of all the items he possessed, aside from the dagger he had bought earlier, the sect uniform seemed the most like equipment.
So, Lin Xiao was eager to find out if the sect uniform had any special attributes.
