Inside the cultivation room at this moment, some people were meditating with their eyes closed, while others were engrossed in reading the cultivation manuals in their hands. None of them noticed Lin Xiao walking in.
Sitting around Lin Dayou, Mo Yuanjiao and Guard Mo were meditating with their eyes closed, concentrating on cultivating the Taoyuan Myriad Void Art, because this was exactly what Lin Dayou was cultivating.
A few days ago, when Mo Yuanjiao saw that Lin Dayou also looked like he had just started cultivating this manual, he felt a deep warmth in his heart.
In order to accompany him in cultivation, his master pretended that he hadn't practiced much either. It must have been to cultivate together with him while allowing him to study the manual as independently as possible.
His master was truly thoughtful!
Naturally, Lin Dayou had no idea he was thinking this way.
He was only thinking that back then, no one taught Lin Xiao, and no one taught Sun Yigao. Both young men learned it on their own, so he figured Mo Yuanjiao could do it too.
After all, this kid knew how to read.
The morning's cultivation time flashed by.
After cultivation ended, Lin Xiao first handed over various fruit and vegetable seeds, as well as tree saplings from his private storehouse, to Lin Dayou and Lin Yun.
"Dad, these are all good seeds I procured. Plant them in the terraced fields in the back. Those are all spirit fields, great for farming."
Each type of seed was carefully wrapped in paper, with the name of the seed written on it.
Lin Dayou took the pile of seeds and saw that most were things he was familiar with, just with the word "spirit" added to the front. He nodded.
Then, Lin Xiao pulled out a bunch of fruit tree saplings and placed them into his brother's arms.
"These are saplings. You can get some soil from the spirit fields and plant them at intervals along the edges of the fields."
Having finished his instructions, Lin Xiao was about to turn around and head to the Array Hall to start learning how to make the insect-killing array, but to his surprise, Mo Yuanjiao, who had followed along, asked in astonishment:
"Brother, you are also my master's son?"
For a moment, Lin Xiao didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded.
Lin Dayou looked at Mo Yuanjiao in confusion, pointed at Lin Yun and Lin Xiao, and said:
"What do you mean 'also'? I only have these two sons. Look, he is the Sect Master you've been constantly talking about wanting to meet."
Looking at Lin Xiao, who was even younger than himself, Mo Yuanjiao was extremely shocked.
"You are our sect's Sect Master?!"
Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly:
"Sorry about that, I forgot to tell you earlier."
He thought Mo Yuanjiao would feel deceived and angrily question him, but unexpectedly, he praised:
"That's amazing, brother!"
Saying that, he turned to ask Lin Dayou:
"Master, how old is my little senior brother?" He assumed Lin Xiao was also taught by Lin Dayou, which would make Lin Xiao his fellow senior brother.
Lin Dayou didn't know why he was asking this, thought for a moment, and said:
"He just turned twelve a couple of months ago."
Hearing this answer, Mo Yuanjiao's eyes shone brightly. He stepped forward, threw an arm around Lin Xiao's shoulder, and bumped him slightly:
"Not bad, brother! Becoming a Sect Master at just twelve years old and possessing such profound cultivation!"
As he spoke, he raised his hands and bowed to Lin Xiao:
"Yuanjiao greets the Sect Master Senior Brother~"
Not knowing what this guy was imagining in his head again, Lin Xiao could only reply casually:
"It's alright, it's alright. Brother Mo, if you and Guard Mo have any difficulties in cultivation on normal days, you can come find me. Your master is usually quite busy, so it's better to bother him less."
Although he, as the Sect Master, was also very busy.
But he was afraid that if Mo Yuanjiao followed his dad around all day, who knew how many ridiculous things he would conjure up in his imagination.
It would be better to keep him by his own side.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiao suddenly had a thought and said to Mo Yuanjiao:
"Brother, I am just about to go to the Array Hall to make some arrays. Do you want to come along and take a look?"
Hearing him say this, Mo Yuanjiao was somewhat tempted, but he also really wanted to go down to the fields with his master!
Watching those little seedlings he had taken good care of grow day by day under his protection, and thinking that they would eventually turn into the food he ate every day, Mo Yuanjiao, who had never worked in a field before, found it incredibly amazing.
He was very much looking forward to the day of harvest.
But these were arrays in the cultivation world!
They were also so attractive, and he really wanted to go see them.
Struggling to make a choice for a moment, Mo Yuanjiao looked at Lin Dayou.
Seeing him look over, Lin Dayou thought he wanted to go but was worried he wouldn't be happy about it, so he waved his hand very generously and said:
"Go play, you don't need to follow me."
However, when Mo Yuanjiao heard him say this, he thought his master wanted him to go out, gain more exposure, and learn more things!
Could it be that the Sect Master Senior Brother's suggestion for him to visit the Array Hall was actually his master's idea all along?
As expected of his master, considering everything so perfectly for him!
Thinking of this, Mo Yuanjiao nodded happily and said:
"Alright! Sorry to trouble you, Sect Master Senior Brother! Where is the Array Hall? Are we going right now?"
Guard Mo: ...
Anyway, his opinion wasn't important. Wherever the young master went, he would follow.
Thus, Lin Dayou and Lin Yun took the seeds and went off to farm, while Lin Xiao led Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que toward the freshly built Array Hall.
As Mo Yuanjiao followed behind Lin Xiao toward the Array Hall, he only just realized that at some point, three new buildings had appeared opposite the cultivation room!
When they got closer, they saw that the plaques on the three buildings read Talisman Crafting Room, Artifact Refining Hall, and Array Hall, respectively.
With this, the thoughts he had when he first entered the sect, wondering why it looked a bit too shabby, vanished entirely.
These were definitely the methods of immortals.
Perhaps there was even some invisible pocket dimension in this world, and inside was the sect's true main base! Whenever they needed something, the sect would pull a simple version of the building from the main base and place it outside for use.
These simple buildings placed outside right now were all just illusions to deceive outsiders.
At this moment, Mo Yuanjiao only felt a strong sense of pride welling up in his heart.
This was his incomparably powerful sect!
It truly lived up to being the fortuitous encounter of his dreams!
Lin Xiao didn't notice the inexplicably increasingly excited expression on Mo Yuanjiao's face behind him. He pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the Array Hall, right in the center sat a massive circular array disk, over two meters in diameter. This was the High-grade Xuan-tier array disk Lin Xiao had purchased from the system shop, the Kunpeng Array Disk.
On the table next to it lay a carving knife emitting a faint, dark glow. It was also a High-grade Xuan-tier item, the Taiyuan Carving Knife.
Beneath the table, there was a thick stack of array rubbing blueprints.
A few futons were placed on the floor to the side.
Lin Xiao pointed at the futons, gesturing to Mo Yuanjiao and Guard Mo:
"Have a seat."
Hearing this, the two obediently sat side by side on the futons.
Then, they watched as Lin Xiao walked up to the Kunpeng Array Disk, placed a hand on it, and began to infuse it with spiritual energy.
In the next instant, a thin layer of spiritual energy floated up above the array disk.
With his other hand, he picked up the Taiyuan Carving Knife beside him. Taking a deep breath, he channeled the spiritual energy within his body into the carving knife and began to concentrate entirely on carving into the array disk.

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
