As the faint light of dawn broke, the families living near Lin Dayou's house were not woken up by the crowing of roosters today.
After giving Lin Xiao a good beating, a refreshed Lin Dayou walked out the door carrying a machete and a hoe over his shoulder, heading out to build a thatched hut.
Lin Xiao trailed closely behind him, limping.
As they walked, he called out to Lin Dayou, who was taking large strides ahead:
"Dad, it's that most spacious clearing halfway up the North Mountain. Don't build it anywhere else for me..."
Although the process was a bit rough—specifically referring to Lin Xiao's buttocks.
By lunchtime, Lin Xiao's thatched hut halfway up the mountain was still successfully built with the combined efforts of Lin Dayou and his eldest uncle, Lin Daman.
It cost the family a few stored wooden logs and a large bundle of thoroughly dried thatch.
It covered an area of about eight square meters and was about two meters high.
His eldest brother, Lin Yun, even hung the bamboo blinds he had recently woven for practice all around the thatched hut.
Once the hut was built, Lin Dayou left the machete, shovel, and other tools on the mountain, instructing Lin Xiao to carry them back home later. Then, he shouldered his hoe and went down the mountain with Lin Daman, as there was still a lot of farm work to be done in the fields today.
Lin Yun reminded Lin Xiao to go back early and not to play around too much before heading down the mountain as well, leaving Lin Xiao alone halfway up the mountain.
Looking at his newly built thatched hut, he felt completely satisfied.
Then, he heard a "ding" in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Myriad Realms Sect Construction System]
[The sect constructed by this system is a cultivation sect. Please name the sect as soon as possible (the name cannot be changed once successfully set)]
Lin Xiao thought to himself: Just as I expected.
A cultivation sect meant that people in this world could cultivate to become immortals!
Lin Xiao was a bit thrilled, gulping down a couple mouthfuls of air.
Naming it, naming it...
I've got it!
[Proposed Name: Lingxian Sect. Are you sure? (The name cannot be changed once successfully set)]
"Sure."
[Naming successful]
With a soft thud, Lin Xiao noticed a large stone slab, about half a person's height, suddenly appear next to the thatched hut.
On it, three large characters were written in a crooked script—Lingxian Sect.
[Note: The sect's stone tablet can be upgraded along with the sect's core cultivation method. Please create and upgrade the cultivation method as soon as possible]
[Activation rewards have been distributed. Please check them, host]
A sect interface appeared in Lin Xiao's mind.
In the bottom right corner, the words [Activation Rewards] were displayed. Lin Xiao chose to open it.
[Congratulations on obtaining the activation rewards: Ten-Mile Peach Tree x1, Spirit Stone x5, Pine Soot Ink x10 (Detected that the sect currently has no treasure pavilion, so the rewards have been issued to the host's private vault by default. Once the sect has a treasure pavilion, the host can change the distribution location of the rewards at will)]
Lin Xiao saw that a [Private Vault] had been added to the interface.
Clicking it open, he saw that the three rewards he had just received were indeed lying inside.
As for the spirit stones, Lin Xiao guessed their function was probably not much different from what he already knew about spirit stones.
Pine soot ink, wasn't that just ink for writing? He wondered what this had to do with cultivation...
So he turned his attention to the Ten-Mile Peach Tree. The thumbnail icon of this tree looked extremely beautiful.
Lin Xiao wanted to inspect it, only to find that he couldn't.
[Appraisal function not yet activated. Unable to view item details]
[Do you want to plant the Ten-Mile Peach Tree?]
Lin Xiao looked around. Yes, his previous site selection had indeed been correct.
The spot halfway up the mountain where he was currently standing was relatively flat, covering an area of about two to three hundred square meters, making it very spacious.
Lin Xiao picked a spot near the mountain path and chose to plant it.
Beside the mountain path, which was originally overgrown with weeds with only a winding trail faintly visible, a peach tree with a very quaint and ancient posture suddenly appeared.
It was currently the spring equinox. As if sensing the call of the solar term, the small flower buds covering the peach tree instantly bloomed with a series of soft pops.
When the spring breeze blew, the floral fragrance scattered in all directions.
He only regretted not carrying a recliner up the mountain.
Not sharing such coziness with anyone was like walking in the dark wearing brocade garments!
Lin Xiao planned to go down the mountain and coax Jiang Youfu into coming up, taking the opportunity to have him join the sect and become the first disciple of the Lingxian Sect!
Just as he was about to head down, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered: what were they going to do after he brought Jiang Youfu up and they finished admiring the sect's grounds?
They couldn't just come up to visit the thatched hut and the peach tree for a while and then go back down.
After all, this was a cultivation sect now. They had to get down to proper business—cultivating!
The system seemed to have mentioned earlier that he should create the sect's core cultivation method as soon as possible... How was he supposed to create this cultivation method?
[Ding—Cultivation method creation function successfully activated. Please input the required items to begin creation, host]
The system's prompt sounded in Lin Xiao's mind right on time. Immediately after, he saw a glowing platform appear in front of him, with four small square grids lined up in a row.
Above the first grid hovered the word [Paper]
Above the second grid hovered the word [Ink]
The third grid was [Cultivation Method Core]
But the last grid was a [?]
Paper. Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. He remembered that if he walked a bit further up the mountain, there seemed to be some paper mulberry trees. He had seen many novels and videos in the past where this kind of tree was used for papermaking. He could go get some later and put them in to see.
As for ink, Lin Xiao looked at the ten portions of pine soot ink lying in his private vault. The system was truly considerate.
As for the latter two, Lin Xiao had no clue. He planned to give it a try and see what exactly the last two grids required.
He wanted to see if he could produce some sort of cultivation method.
Picking up the machete left behind by Lin Dayou, Lin Xiao went to chop trees without stopping to rest.
Once he chopped down a paper mulberry tree, he peeled off the bark and stuffed it into the first glowing grid. The border of the grid started flashing with a yellow light.
Lin Xiao was a bit confused. Did this mean it worked or not?
Since he didn't know, he decided to ignore it for now and try putting something in the second grid.
So, he took out a portion of pine soot ink from his private vault and placed it into the second grid.
The four sides of the grid lit up with a green light.
Alright then, it seemed the first grid was either filled with the wrong item or the quantity wasn't enough.
Lin Xiao thought about it, peeled off some more paper mulberry bark, and put it in.
Then he saw that as the amount of paper mulberry bark he put in increased, the initially flashing yellow light gradually faded, eventually turning into a steady green light.
As expected, the quantity hadn't been enough.
Feeling a bit excited, Lin Xiao rubbed his hands together in gleeful anticipation.
Now for the third grid!
Lin Xiao tried tapping the third grid with his finger.
A prompt immediately popped up in his mind:
[Do you want to start inputting the cultivation method core?]
Lin Xiao decisively chose yes.
[Starting to input the cultivation method core. Countdown 30 seconds. 29, 28, 27...]
Lin Xiao looked utterly bewildered.
Why was there a countdown?
He hadn't prepared anything at all!
But time waited for no one, and Lin Xiao had no time to complain inwardly. His blank mind started spinning wildly.
In an instant, a bunch of random fragments flashed through his mind.
But in the end, nothing remained. It was completely blank, and he had no clue.
[...3, 2, 1. Cultivation method core input complete]
With an empty mind, Lin Xiao saw that the green light had already lit up around the third grid.
Lin Xiao: Good lord, I don't even know what I inputted, and you're already telling me the input is complete.

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
