Upon hearing this, naturally, no one had any objections.
They just felt a lingering sense of unreality—from now on, they would live like immortals, constantly staying up in the sky?
Compared to them, the one even more astonished was Liao Pantu.
Ever since he stepped onto the floating island, his heart had been filled with immense shock.
This kind of floating island—even he had never seen one before!
He had only heard that the most powerful talisman sect in the Southern and Northern Spirit Regions possessed one, but he had never been there, so he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.
Yet apart from that, no other sect in the entire Southern and Northern Spirit Regions had one at all!
Who would have thought… now their little Lin Xian Sect actually possessed a floating island that only a powerhouse like the talisman sect could have…
For a moment, Liao Pantu felt a surge of pride and ambition rising in his chest.
The only minor flaw was that the spiritual energy on this floating island wasn't particularly dense. Perhaps because of the distance, the spiritual energy here was even slightly thinner than that in Xiu Shui Village.
But that didn't matter—since that boy Lin Xiao had said he would move the important things up here later, he would surely find a way to solve the spiritual energy problem then.
Their sect's future would definitely develop tremendously well, even better than those Tian Xuan Sect or Talisman Sect!
Still, he absolutely couldn't say such words to that boy Lin Xiao, or else his tail would be raised to the sky with arrogance.
Once everyone had finished looking around, Lin Xiao led them to the small fountain at the center of the floating island, the entrance to the small world.
"On this floating island of ours, there's also a small world attached to it," Lin Xiao said.
But the others didn't quite understand what he meant.
Only Liao Pantu looked at him with some surprise.
However, Lin Xiao didn't take them inside directly. Instead, he continued,
"It's just that right now, the place is overgrown with all sorts of unknown flowers and plants, leaving almost no room to step. If so many of us go in, we might trample them all. So for now, I won't take everyone in for a tour—once the place is cleaned up later, everyone can go inside and take a look."
Upon hearing this, the crowd wasn't too disappointed. They had no real concept of a small world, and after listening to Lin Xiao's words, they thought it was probably something similar to Green Wild Secret Realm, so they simply suppressed their curiosity.
After touring the floating island, once the novelty faded, it was time to return to daily routine.
Everyone went back down to the mountainside and continued their various tasks and activities for the day.
Lin Xiao, however, stayed behind and said to Liao Pantu,
"Senior, would you like to go in and take a look with me?"
At this, although he didn't know what scheme the boy was cooking up, Liao Pantu was indeed extremely curious about this so-called small world, so he nodded.
"Alright."
So Liao Pantu followed Lin Xiao, touched the bead on the fountain, and entered the small world.
The moment he stepped inside, he was stunned by the sight before him.
Then he turned to Lin Xiao and asked,
"Can my herb garden be moved in here? I'm moving in for good!"
As he spoke, he walked forward and started examining the flowers and plants around him.
Meanwhile, just as Liao Pantu finished asking that question, a system notification sounded in Lin Xiao's mind:
[Host may move any facilities within the sect to Yao Guang Floating Island and its attached small world as needed.]
So that was possible!
He immediately replied to Liao Pantu,
"No problem! But first, could you take a look at whether these flowers and plants here are useful? If they are, we'll need to find a way to clear out a spot for your herb garden inside."
Otherwise, if they moved things over directly and covered these flowers on the ground, that would be a real shame.
He felt these flowers were most likely very valuable.
But then he saw Liao Pantu, who had already walked ahead, suddenly pull a booklet from his chest and start flipping through it as he looked at the flowers in front of him.
After a moment, he waved at Lin Xiao.
"Sect Master, come here quickly."
Lin Xiao walked over, a bit puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
Liao Pantu held the booklet out in front of him, pointing at one entry.
"Take a look at this. The drawing and description here—doesn't it match this flower perfectly?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a white flower in front of him, whose petals hung down in cascading folds like wrinkled fabric.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and read the description in the booklet:
[Petals like silk satin, layered upon one another, drooping with folds, pure white in color, smooth and glossy…]
Below it was an illustration. It wasn't just similar—it was practically identical.
"So this flower is called 'Chou Yue Lan'?" Lin Xiao murmured.
Then he looked up to see Liao Pantu staring at him with a peculiar expression, speaking in a slow, meaningful tone:
"This flower is extremely rare in the cultivation world. It's said to have been endangered over ten million years ago, with only a few super sects still keeping seeds. It's not easy to cultivate, making it enormously precious. Word has it that it's an excellent material for refining dharma robes. In the hands of a master artifact refiner, it could even produce a dharma robe of the heavenly-grade artifact level…"
Of course, the uses of this flower didn't stop there.
It could also be used for alchemy.
That was why Liao Pantu had its relevant information recorded in his alchemy materials compendium.
But even he, who had roamed the cultivation world for over five hundred years, had never seen this flower in person. So when he suddenly laid eyes on it, he pulled out the records to compare.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao was also quite taken aback.
He never expected the small world attached to his system-given land to contain such a rare species!
Once Liao Pantu saw he was done reading, he immediately turned to examine other flowers.
And so he continued down the line, flipping through his booklets dozens of times—not just one, but several different ones. Each time he flipped, the interest in his expression grew deeper.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao didn't need to ask to know that this entire sea of flowers was undoubtedly extremely valuable.
Liao Pantu quickly and excitedly scanned through the flowers, then raised his head with sparkling eyes and waved grandly at Lin Xiao.
"You don't need to keep me company here! Go handle your business! Within the next couple of days, I'll clear out the space. But it's a deal—when the time comes, you have to help me move my herb garden over."
Seeing his burning enthusiasm, Lin Xiao smiled and agreed.
"Alright. Once you're done setting things up, just call me from outside, and I'll move it for you."
With that, he left the small world.
There was still a pile of work waiting for him outside.
After stepping out, facing the barren expanse of the floating island, Lin Xiao felt a little troubled.
How should he plan this out properly?
Should he just move everything from the mountainside up here and then expand?
He felt that would be wasting this floating island.
Now that he had a floating island, he naturally wanted to build something impressive on it.
He pondered for a long time, then suddenly had an idea.
Without moving anything, he descended from the floating island and left the sect alone.
Before leaving, he made a detour to the sect's warehouse, where he picked out an ordinary white house made of Hanning Jade and stored it in his private inventory.
Then he left Xiu Shui Village, speeding off deep into the mountains on the other side of the village.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks.
