Chương 95: Chapter 95: The Beginning of Summer
"As for talisman crafting and formations, they work similarly. These are supplementary skills that you'll understand better once you start learning them," Lin Xiao continued.
"These four skills are crucial, so our next step as a sect is to build facilities for them. Just like our alchemy room near the cultivation chamber, we also need a talisman room, a formation hall, and a smithing hall. For these, we'll need materials."
Lin Xiao turned to Tie Tou and said, "Tie Tou, I'll leave this task to you. I'll give you a rough estimate of what we need, and after you've gathered the materials, just let me know, and I'll start building."
Feeling the weight of responsibility, Tie Tou nodded seriously and said, "Rest assured, Brother Xiao! I'll make sure to complete the task!"
At the same time, Lin Xiao heard the system's voice in his mind, issuing new tasks:
[Sect Construction—Facilities (5):] A successful sect requires well-defined spaces for different activities. Build a smithing hall to provide a space for crafting spiritual tools.
[Sect Construction—Facilities (6):] A successful sect requires well-defined spaces for different activities. Build a formation hall to provide a space for learning and creating formations.
Upon receiving these tasks, Lin Xiao's first thought was, Looks like more spirit stones will be coming in.
After explaining the three main points, Lin Xiao clasped his hands together and summarized, "That's all for today's assembly. I hope everyone will continue to support and help each other on the path of cultivation. Let's work hard together! The meeting is adjourned!"
And so, the first assembly of the Lingxian Sect concluded successfully.
The members dispersed, heading to the cultivation chamber to begin their daily practice.
However, Lin Daqiu didn't go to cultivate right away. He first inspected the spiritual fields and then approached Lin Xiao, demanding all the seeds he had.
Lin Xiao handed over the remaining seeds from his private stash and asked curiously, "Dad, what do you need these seeds for? I kept them in case something went wrong with the crops."
Lin Daqiu took the seeds and gave him a side glance, "I noticed there's a lot of empty space in the spiritual fields—such a waste! Besides, with the 'Spiritual Planting Manual' you gave me, do you think I'd mess it up? Unlike you, who harvested grains without saving seeds."
Lin Xiao chuckled sheepishly, watching as his father eagerly went off to plant more crops.
As Lin Daqiu left, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked his father's potential yet. So, he opened the sect member panel.
It was then that Lin Xiao realized he hadn't even checked his cousin Lin Lei's potential either. He first opened Lin Lei's profile:
[Name: Lin Lei]
[Gender: Male]
[Bone Age: 16 years]
[Potential: Average]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Stage 1]
[Sect Status: Outer Disciple (Can be changed)]
[Sect Position: None (Can be changed)]
Seeing the "Average" potential, Lin Xiao nodded in understanding and then opened his father Lin Daqiu's profile:
[Name: Lin Daqiu]
[Gender: Male]
[Bone Age: 32 years]
[Potential: Mediocre]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Stage 1]
[Sect Status: Outer Disciple (Can be changed)]
[Sect Position: None (Can be changed)]
Well, no surprise there, Lin Xiao thought. Even with mediocre potential, the system gives a different evaluation for my dad.
Although potential was important, Lin Xiao wasn't too concerned about it anymore. After all, Jiang Youfu's "Not Great, Not Terrible" potential hadn't stopped him from becoming one of the sect's strongest members, aside from Lin Xiao, Sun Yigao, and Elder Liao. Lin Xiao figured that potential was just one factor and didn't entirely determine a person's cultivation journey.
He then promoted both Lin Lei and his father to personal disciples within the sect. As for sect positions, he decided to leave that for later, thinking that those roles could be assigned more carefully in the future.
As Lin Xiao was lost in thought, Liao Pantao, who had been watching from a distance, approached him with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Young Sect Master, may I discuss something with you?"
"Of course, Elder Liao. What is it?" Lin Xiao replied, curious about what had brought the elder to him.
"Yigao has shown remarkable talent in alchemy. I'd like to pass on my knowledge to him and take him as my disciple. Of course, you'll still be his primary master, and I'd just be his second. What do you think?"
Lin Xiao was surprised that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator like Elder Liao was so meticulous about following protocol. He smiled and replied, "I have no objections. As long as Yigao agrees, it's fine with me!"
Relieved and excited, Liao Pantao thanked Lin Xiao and said, "Great! I'll go talk to him right away."
With Lin Xiao's approval, Sun Yigao naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, Elder Liao had already taught him quite a bit about alchemy.
Within a day, the entire Lingxian Sect knew that Liao Pantao had become Sun Yigao's second master—a fact that Elder Liao subtly boasted about to anyone who would listen.
A few days later, Little Luan somehow managed to bring back three wild chickens, proudly introducing them as its new disciples.
The sect members looked at the trembling wild chickens cowering in the corner of the grass shed, rendered speechless.
Little Luan, however, was immensely proud. It strutted around the chickens, clucking loudly in a lecturing tone as it tried to teach them.
Whether or not the wild chickens understood was unclear, but Lin Xiao and the others could see they were terrified, avoiding even looking at Little Luan.
Lin Xiao sighed, noticing the mess of droppings under the chickens' feet. He instructed Little Luan, "In the future, make sure they do their business in the fields, not here."
"Cluck, cluck, cluck, understood!" Little Luan turned back to the chickens, scolding them with an expression of frustration.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, the beginning of summer, Lixia, had arrived.
With less work to do in the fields, the villagers started visiting relatives more frequently.
