In the evening, everyone from the Lingxian Sect descended the mountain.

In Xiushui Village, the villagers who had been working outside also packed up and followed the smoke from the kitchen chimneys home for dinner.

The heat accumulated from the blazing sun during the day gradually faded as night fell.

The members of the Lingxian Sect also returned to their homes under the setting sun.

This excluded Liu Yunan and his family of three who were already living in the sect, as well as the Lin family, whose entire household had already begun cultivating.

The other sect members who lived in Xiushui Village returned home and had dinner with their large families. Afterward, they all uniformly pulled their close relatives aside and whispered:

Join our Lingxian Sect and come up the mountain to cultivate with me!

For someone like Tietou, whose family relations were rather complicated, the relatives watched Tietou's family retreat into their room early on, wondering what they were discussing. They had many thoughts, but recalling the miraculous tales about the Lin family's second son spreading among the villagers today, they did not dare to cause any trouble.

Although Jiang Youfu did not return to the sect in the afternoon, after the incident on the Path of Questioning the Heart, some villagers on good terms with his family came over to chat with his parents and told them about it.

As a result, Jiang Youfu naturally knew exactly what had happened at the foot of the sect's mountain.

Thus, after his parents saw the guests off, he formed the idea of bringing his entire family to cultivate together.

And he decisively voiced it.

Qin Jianghe was the same.

Upon returning home, he immediately brought the matter up with his family.

Because he was only staying for two or three days at most this time before having to hurry back.

He had previously told Yu Xiao and his two cousins that he would be back in three or four days at most.

Therefore, he had to quickly make arrangements for his family so that he wouldn't be constantly worrying about them while away, unable to return.

In this manner, the details of how everyone convinced their relatives will not be elaborated upon, but in the end, they all successfully persuaded their families.

They all decided to go and walk the Path of Questioning the Heart the next day.

Now looking at the Lin family's side.

After Lin Xiao finished eating and discussed his plans to enter secluded cultivation and his recent arrangements for the sect with his father and brother at the dinner table, the family of three returned to their respective rooms.

Whether they returned to their rooms to rest or to cultivate was something only they knew.

Back in his room, Lin Xiao synthesized many more Location Sound Transmission Talismans, planning to place them in the sect's storehouse tomorrow as backups.

This was to prevent a situation where the previous ones were not enough for everyone if his secluded cultivation lasted too long.

He planned to begin his secluded cultivation tomorrow.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Xiao opened the system shop and browsed around.

He wanted to see if there were any items that could assist him in his cultivation.

Then he saw a row of things like pills for improving cultivation, Spirit Gathering Arrays, protective dharma treasures, and Mind Calming Talismans appear on the shop's recommendation list.

The prices in spirit stones all started in the four digits.

Lin Xiao reasonably suspected that the system definitely had its eyes on his wallet.

However, this time he did not close the shop immediately, nor did he want the shop to switch to cheaper items.

Instead, he seriously considered his need for these items.

He definitely had to buy a Spirit Gathering Array.

Although the exterior of his secluded cultivation spot was the source point of the spirit vein, having a Spirit Gathering Array would definitely further improve efficiency.

Who would complain about the spiritual energy being denser?

The Spirit Gathering Array sold in the shop this time was the same as the one the system had rewarded him with before; both were Basic Spirit Gathering Arrays.

The price was two thousand three hundred spirit stones.

Seeing this price, Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect the reward the system had given him before to be quite so expensive.

He had always thought the system's Basic Spirit Gathering Array would be quite cheap.

After all, it was only basic tier.

However, he had previously read in the Complete Guide to Basic Formation Carving in the Formation Hall that the Basic Spirit Gathering Array was in the last chapter of the book.

It was considered one of the most difficult types among basic formations.

It was not easy to learn.

He would have to spend a period of time practicing it seriously at the very least.

Therefore, Lin Xiao had never had the time to learn it.

Now he had no choice but to spend money to buy it.

There was no helping it; he had to pay with either money or effort, didn't he?

After Lin Xiao chose to purchase it, two thousand three hundred spirit stones were accurately deducted from his private vault in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the action made Lin Xiao wonder if the system had already counted the amount in advance and was just waiting to deduct it.

After a successful purchase, the Basic Spirit Gathering Array appeared in his private vault.

Staring at this Spirit Gathering Array, Lin Xiao suddenly thought that when he first synthesized the secluded cultivation spot, he hadn't even thought to check the shop for a Spirit Gathering Array first. What a miscalculation.

He wondered if this Spirit Gathering Array could still be added into it...

Ding—Friendly reminder, the building synthesis function possesses a composite feature. You can open the building synthesizer, select the building that needs to be composited, and perform a secondary synthesis.

Hearing the system's timely prompt, Lin Xiao was very satisfied.

In this way, he only needed to take this Basic Spirit Gathering Array tomorrow and perform a secondary synthesis with the secluded cultivation spot, and all would be well.

Contented, Lin Xiao prepared to lie down and sleep in for the last time on the eve of his secluded cultivation.

However, unexpectedly, just as he was about to lie down, he saw a small point of light suddenly flash in front of him.

Recognizing that this small point of light was a message from a Location Sound Transmission Talisman, Lin Xiao reached out his finger and gently tapped the light.

The next moment, the point of light swiftly flew into his mind.

Immediately after, Prefect Tong's calm and respectful voice appeared in his mind.

Reporting to the Immortal, I wonder if your sect is located in Xiushui Village under the jurisdiction of Anqun County. If so, then your esteemed sect has most likely been exposed.

Today, I received an urgent official dispatch that the magistrate of Anqun County was preparing to send to the capital. It has currently been secretly switched to the regular dispatch channel by me. In as little as one to two months, or as long as two to three months, this official document will definitely be delivered to the imperial court in the capital.

Official dispatches are the means by which officials report local situations. I am unable to intercept it. The only thing I could do was to change its channel to buy the Immortal a little more time to respond. I hope the Immortal can forgive me.

After speaking, Prefect Tong's voice vanished from Lin Xiao's mind.

After listening, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

This Prefect Tong was truly a good person.

Upon seeing the official document, his first thought was actually that Lin Xiao's sect might have been exposed, and he acted to buy him time.

Actually, when he decided to let Yigao cooperate with the sect on this private school, he had already prepared for the inevitability of the sect being exposed.

He had formed an idea in his mind as early as when he discovered that his sect's cultivation method was unique in this world.

He had long since made up his mind.

Since he now possessed the path to immortal cultivation.

And having established this sect, he did not intend to only let his relatives and friends cultivate, or to only let a very small number of people cultivate.

He wanted to let more people who had lost the opportunity to cultivate due to their so-called spiritual root aptitude also experience the joy of cultivation.

To witness the world of becoming a cultivator.

Although perhaps in the end, not everyone would be willing to cultivate, nor would everyone be able to cultivate to a profound level or even become an immortal.
