Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously, then reached out and grabbed a basket of soil.
In the next instant, both the basket and the dirt suddenly vanished completely.
Everyone was shocked! Pointing at Lin Xiao, they were rendered speechless.
"This, this!"
Lin Xiao explained to them,
"The old immortal gave me a storage space that can hold a lot of things. However, only I can use it. If I die, this thing will disappear with me."
Everyone revealed looks of envy and longing!
Seeing everyone like this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but think of a standard item for cultivators in the cultivation world—the storage bag.
He wanted to make one.
Ding—Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Item Synthesizer. The Item Synthesizer is produced by the system and possesses incredibly powerful synthesis functions. There is nothing the synthesizer cannot create, only things the host cannot imagine! Please explore the specific synthesis recipes on your own.
Good heavens!
Lin Xiao really wanted to sit down right there and start studying this Item Synthesizer.
But obviously, that was impossible.
He shouldered the great task of digging dirt.
With the convenience of Lin Xiao's private storage, everyone no longer needed to set aside extra time for transportation.
They decisively buried their heads in hard work once again.
They were also very much looking forward to the moment the sect's main hall was built!
Thus, the seven of them worked hard for another half an hour before stopping.
After Lin Xiao stored thirty baskets of dirt into his private storage, everyone made their way back to the sect.
Just as they returned to the sect and were about to rest for a while, before they even entered the thatched hut, Lin Xiao smelled a familiar scent.
It was demonic aura!
And it was exactly the same as the one on Aunt Sun the other day!
Lin Xiao immediately looked around vigilantly.
He saw a patch of grass swaying slightly a hundred meters away.
So he quickly dashed in that direction, as fast as a gust of wind.
Reaching the grass, he raised his hand like a claw and grabbed inside!
Lin Xiao attacked so decisively because he sensed that this demonic aura was not strong.
It was probably about the same level as himself when he was at the first level of Qi Condensation.
Obviously, the wild mountain chicken did not expect this person to strike so quickly.
It was caught red-handed on the spot.
Watching Lin Xiao suddenly disappear from their sight and rush a hundred meters away, the six people left behind were completely baffled.
It was Jiang Youfu, who was at the first level of Qi Condensation, who seemed to sense something. Looking at the wild mountain chicken in Lin Xiao's hand, he said hesitantly,
"The wild chicken in Brother Xiao's hand... seems a bit different..."
So everyone looked at the wild mountain chicken caught by Lin Xiao.
They saw that this wild mountain chicken was very beautiful. Its feathers were brightly colored and lustrous, and there was a peacock-green plume on its tail. Its plump neck was tightly gripped in Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao carried it back to the crowd and said to Sun Yigao,
"Brother Sun, this is probably the chicken demon that spewed a large mouthful of demonic aura at your mother before."
Sun Yigao frowned and stepped forward to examine the wild mountain chicken.
Then he asked Lin Xiao,
"Sect Master, is it possible to know why this chicken demon would harm my mother?"
Lin Xiao was about to say no when he suddenly remembered his spell creation function.
Perhaps he could try to create an animal communication spell?
So Lin Xiao asked Sun Yigao to wait a moment and placed the chicken demon, which had given up struggling, into the thatched hut.
Then he set the thatched hut to restrict entry and exit to prevent the wild mountain chicken from hurting anyone.
After telling everyone to temporarily cultivate under the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Tree, Lin Xiao crouched alone on the other side of the tree and began to study.
In just a few days, the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Tree had grown from a thickness that one person could embrace to a very sturdy trunk that would take about five people to encircle.
The six of them sat in a row in front of the tree, holding their mental cultivation methods and cultivating earnestly. Occasionally, when there was something they didn't understand or forgot, they would discuss it with each other.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao squatted alone behind the tree and opened the Spell Creation Function.
He opened his private storage to put paper and ink inside, only to find that there was only one piece of pine soot ink left!
Using it would deplete his stock entirely.
He made a mental note of this, planning to buy some ink after going to town with his father to earn money in a few days.
He immediately started brainstorming various ideas about talking to animals in his head, and then began continuously inputting those ideas into the third slot of the spell creation interface.
Congratulations to the host for successfully creating the spell Language of All Beasts. The spell has been sent to your private storage, please check it.
Lin Xiao didn't even look.
Because as long as it was a spell produced by the synthesizer, he would automatically learn it.
Thus, the six people who had just started cultivating under the tree saw Lin Xiao walking smugly toward the thatched hut.
Meanwhile, the wild mountain chicken demon had already left several puddles of droppings in the hut.
As soon as Lin Xiao entered, he was forced to pinch his nose.
He used the Language of All Beasts to ask the chicken demon:
"Why did you harm Aunt Sun?"
The wild mountain chicken demon looked at the human cultivator in front of it. Not knowing why it could suddenly understand his words, it tilted its head curiously.
"Cluck cluck cluck?"
Don't doubt it, there was nothing wrong with the Language of All Beasts; this was simply an onomatopoeia without any actual meaning.
Lin Xiao rubbed his temples.
He had taken it for granted. Objectively speaking, this was just a small demon chicken that had just gained sentience.
So he changed the way he asked:
"The day before yesterday, did you spit demonic aura at a human?"
Upon hearing this, the little demon chicken got fired up and tried hard to express its anger through body language, saying:
"That person! Bad! Wanted to eat me! Spit at her!"
Well, the truth was out.
Aunt Sun had bought a wild mountain chicken in town, not expecting that this wild mountain chicken had actually gained sentience, though it was unknown how it had been caught.
As a result, Aunt Sun bought it home, planning to stew it for Sun Yigao to nourish his body, and then...
Lin Xiao casually comforted the little demon chicken with a few words, then went out and told Sun Yigao the reason behind it all.
"That's how it is. The little demon chicken is inside. How do you plan to deal with it?"
Sun Yigao was silent for a moment, then sighed and said,
"Forget it, this wild mountain chicken can be considered to have a fateful connection with us.
After all, our family wanted to kill it first. Fortunately, thanks to the Sect Master, everyone is safe and sound. When I go home tonight, I will inform my mother and let this matter pass. I suppose my mother wouldn't hold a grudge against a wild chicken either."
Lin Xiao had originally been thinking that if Sun Yigao didn't plan to spare this wild mountain chicken, they could just happen to enjoy a hearty meal.
He just didn't know if demonic beasts could be eaten.
They probably could, right? After all, wild mountain chickens aren't poisonous.
But hearing Sun Yigao say this, ah, well, as for demonic beasts and such, they would always be able to get some later when their cultivation levels were higher.
This wild mountain chicken could be considered to have a destiny with Sun Yigao.
It also had a destiny with their Lingxian Sect.
Fated people don't eat fated chickens.
So Lin Xiao entered the thatched hut, just about to tell the little demon chicken that he was letting it go.
He saw it sitting upright on a straw mat in the posture of a hen hatching eggs. Seeing Lin Xiao enter, it excitedly said to him:
"Human! Human! I want to live here!"
Lin Xiao: ?
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?!
