The doors of the sect hall were opened very wide. The wooden doors were polished to be incredibly smooth, even emitting a mellow luster as if they had been handled and polished for many years.
High above the main entrance hung a plaque, which was still completely blank.
At first glance, it truly looked quite imposing!
Lin Xiao looked at the size and shape of the base of this building currently floating in the air.
It was a proper square.
Lin Xiao visually estimated the position and distance. He placed the sect hall down near the thatched hut, about a hundred meters away directly facing the ten miles of peach blossoms at the mountain pass.
[Sect Hall placement complete. Host, please name the hall.]
To this, Lin Xiao, who was terrible at naming things, simply gave a faint smile.
Wasn't the name for this sect hall obvious?
Lin Xiao decisively entered four words:
[Lingxian Hall]!
[Confirm this name?]
Confirm!
[Naming successful. Congratulations to the Host for successfully building the Lingxian Hall.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for upgrading the Sect Station. The sect's defense function has been enhanced along with the Sect Station upgrade. Based on the current Sect Station level, the range of the sect defense function has been expanded to a radius of three hundred meters centered around the Sect Station (Sect Hall).]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the Sect Construction: Sect Hall task. The center of the Sect Station has automatically changed from the original Sect Station to the Sect Hall. The task rewards have been issued to your private treasury. Please check them.]
The long-awaited task rewards had finally arrived!
Lin Xiao expectantly opened his private treasury.
His eyes automatically skipped over the existing items, and his gaze went straight to the few new things at the end.
Spirit Stones x100, Spirit Silkworm Eggs x20, Mosang Seeds x10, Tier 1 Spirit Vein Fragment x1.
It actually gave a hundred spirit stones!
This Sect Hall task was quite generous!
Lin Xiao then looked at the other items.
Spirit Silkworm Eggs, Mosang Seeds... Did this mean he was supposed to raise silkworms?
It couldn't possibly be for him to make roasted silkworm chrysalises to eat, right?
If it was silkworms, they should be used to spin silk for making clothes.
And this Tier 1 Spirit Vein Fragment.
Good heavens.
A Spirit Vein!
Wasn't this the thing that produced spirit stones?
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that he might soon welcome the first wave of wealth in his immortal cultivation career!
However, this was only one fragment, and he didn't know how many were needed in total.
It was a bit too early to be happy.
Yes, he needed to keep a low profile.
Now that he was rich in spirit stones, Lin Xiao decisively spent fifteen spirit stones to renew his idle cultivation.
For the next half month, he wouldn't need to worry about his idle cultivation.
Then he shifted his gaze to the freshly minted Sect Hall.
The exquisite and grand hall contrasted sharply with the low and narrow thatched hut next to it; the difference was glaringly obvious.
Lin Xiao stood in front of the hall, filled with a strong sense of accomplishment.
However, he didn't push the doors open to go inside.
Touring the hall was something that would have a better atmosphere if everyone did it together later.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao was just about to turn around and call the others who were cultivating, when he heard a shout coming from the mountain pass.
"Brother Xiao—"
Lin Xiao turned his head to look, and who could it be but Qin Jianghe?
Seeing with his own eyes that the guy was indeed perfectly fine, and looking quite happy from afar, Lin Xiao completely set his mind at ease.
He walked up and asked:
"What did you go off and do today? Weren't we supposed to meet at the market?"
Qin Jianghe embarrassedly rubbed his head and chuckled, then winked at him and whispered:
"Brother Xiao, my mom took me on a blind date this morning! Hehe, she didn't tell me early on. As soon as we arrived in town, she dragged me to the matchmaker's house. She said the girl was from Dahe Village, which is close by, so she would definitely arrive early, and it wouldn't be good to keep her waiting. So I didn't have time to find you and let you know.
Brother Xiao, please don't be mad at me."
Lin Xiao scoffed playfully and laughed:
"Your blind date is a good thing, why would I be mad? It's just a bit of a pity. I made a lot of money yesterday, but unfortunately, you weren't there to see it."
Hearing this, Qin Jianghe's eyes widened and shone brightly as he said:
"Really, Brother Xiao! How much did you make? Is our sect going to be rich?"
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said:
"Not that much, just about three thousand copper coins."
"What? Three thousand copper coins! Oh my heavens, I've never seen three thousand copper coins in my entire life!" Qin Jianghe grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and shook it, saying:
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, hurry up and take it out so I can see it!"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow. The money isn't on me right now. Tell me first, how did your blind date go?"
As soon as Lin Xiao mentioned this, a blush appeared on Qin Jianghe's dark face.
"The girl is quite nice. She looks very blessed when she smiles, hehe."
Seeing Qin Jianghe's silly look, how could Lin Xiao not know that he was definitely very satisfied with the girl?
He had only met her once and was already acting this silly. Where was the shrewdness a sect's financial elder should have?
Lin Xiao felt a bit frustrated at his failure to meet expectations.
"Stop your silly laughing. You like her, but what did she say?"
Speaking of this, Qin Jianghe's expression became even more bashful. He lowered his head very shyly, and his voice was like a mosquito's. Even with Lin Xiao's excellent hearing, he wouldn't have been able to catch what he was saying if he didn't listen carefully.
"She said she thinks I'm pretty good too, that I look like a reliable person, hehe."
Looking at his foolish appearance, Lin Xiao seriously considered whether he should temporarily revoke his position as financial elder while he was busy with his marriage talks.
At this moment, the people in the thatched hut seemed to have heard the commotion on their side, and they came out of the hut one after another.
"Brother Xiao! You're back! How did it go, how did it go!" Seeing Lin Xiao, Jiang Youfu was the first to sprint over.
Not to mention, now that he was at the first level of Qi Condensation, even though the fat on his body still jiggled wildly as he ran, his speed was completely incomparable to before.
Seeing that Jiang Youfu was about to crash right into his face, Lin Xiao quickly stepped aside.
The rest of the people also hurried up to greet Lin Xiao and Qin Jianghe enthusiastically.
"How is it? Sect Master! Financial Elder!" Liu Yunan mischievously changed his way of addressing them to tease them.
Everyone still thought the two of them had come back from town together.
Lin Xiao mercilessly exposed Qin Jianghe:
"This guy didn't go with me. He went on a blind date early in the morning! Sigh, pity me, getting stood up and left all alone to peddle goods in town—"
"Oho—good for you, kid! Starting to go see girls now!" Liu Yunan lightly punched the completely flushed Qin Jianghe.
Hu Liang foolishly rubbed the back of his head:
"I want to go on a blind date too, but my mom says I haven't grown up yet."
A few twelve or thirteen-year-old boys enthusiastically began discussing the topic of blind dates, while the fifteen-year-old Sun Yigao and Lin Yun, the two older youths, hid to the side pretending they didn't exist.
Sun Yigao pretended to admire the peach blossoms, while Lin Yun casually looked around.
Because today was market day, Old Master Lin had simply given Lin Lei and Lin Yun half a day off, so he was also on the mountain cultivating with everyone right now.
"Huh?!"
