Since the system showed that the third slot was completed, he wouldn't worry about it!
His gaze shifted to the fourth slot. Looking at the lone question mark inside, Lin Xiao stroked his smooth chin.
Maybe I should just grab something random and put it in to try?
The core of the cultivation method was already so casually decided anyway... This shouldn't matter either, right?
As he pondered, his eyes landed on the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Tree that had just bloomed.
Then, he casually plucked a peach blossom and placed it into the fourth slot.
It turned green!
[Cultivation method materials input complete. Commencing synthesis of the cultivation method. Please wait.]
Filled with anticipation, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the dirt floor inside the thatched shed.
If his pants got dirty, so be it; he was the one washing them anyway.
The system was quite efficient. When it said "wait," it really meant just a short wait, not making Lin Xiao wait long.
[Cultivation method "Peach Spring Myriad Void Art" successfully synthesized. Cultivation Method Rating: Grade A. Set as the core cultivation method of the sect? (Note: Can be replaced later.)]
It was actually Grade A! If there was a Grade A, there was definitely a Grade S above it and a Grade B below it.
Set as the sect's core cultivation method... Did it even need asking? His sect currently had absolutely nothing. A Grade A cultivation method might not be the absolute best, but reaching Grade A meant it certainly wasn't bad! Besides, it could be replaced later. Naturally, Lin Xiao chose "Yes."
[Cultivation method "Peach Spring Myriad Void Art" has been delivered to the private vault. Please check it, Host.]
Seeing the cultivation method in his private vault, Lin Xiao, who had originally planned to find Fuzi as soon as the method was ready, remained firmly seated on the dirt floor.
Let him first take a good look at what this cultivation method was like...
Taking the "Peach Spring Myriad Void Art" out of the private vault, Lin Xiao opened it with full anticipation.
A faint fragrance wafted from the pages.
The first line of the opening chapter caught his eye:
"All manifestations are ethereal, their nature returning to the void. Follow their flow, and meet in the Peach Spring..."
These words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, each striking deep into Lin Xiao's eyes and heart.
He felt as if his mind had taken a heavy blow, followed by a roaring sound. Then, a refreshing breeze brushed his face, sweeping away all sluggishness.
Lin Xiao let out a long breath.
Truly worthy of a Grade A cultivation method.
He couldn't understand a thing.
If someone had to cultivate based on this kind of content...
He hurriedly flipped to the later pages.
Hmm, fortunately, the following sections looked like more practical instructions on how to cultivate.
It seemed the opening chapter was likely something like the core philosophy of the method, meant for cultivators to comprehend.
Lin Xiao began to study the subsequent content earnestly.
After reading for quite a while, he finally closed the "Peach Spring Myriad Void Art".
To be honest, it was a bit dry.
Moreover, he had just tried to draw Qi into his body according to the method taught inside.
He didn't succeed.
And he could clearly feel that he still had a long way to go before succeeding.
Lin Xiao sat on the ground, resting his chin on one hand, lost in thought.
To build a sect, he would definitely have a mountain of trivial matters to deal with in the future.
Where would he find the time to cultivate?
But as the master of a sect, how could he convince (crush) the masses without a cultivation level higher than everyone else's!
Lin Xiao stroked his smooth chin.
He already had a golden finger. Could it be that as the sect master, there were no shortcuts for his cultivation?
[Ding—Host has successfully unlocked the "Cultivation" function. Please check the operations, Host.]
The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up.
This system was truly cute. It unlocked whatever function he thought of, and absolutely wouldn't randomly unlock things he hadn't thought of to disrupt his train of thought.
Opening the "Cultivation" function, he saw his cultivation panel:
[Host: Lin Xiao (Idle Cultivation not activated)]
[Gender: Male]
[Bone Age: 12 years old]
[Aptitude: Dragon and Phoenix Among Men]
[Cultivation Base: 1/100 (Mortal - Drawing Qi into the Body)]
[Cultivation Method: "Peach Spring Myriad Void Art"]
[Technique: None]
...
Seeing the aptitude column, Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow in satisfaction.
Tsk, who wouldn't like being called a dragon and phoenix among men?
However, he surprisingly didn't see the common "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth" elements often found in immortal cultivation novels, nor anything about single spiritual roots, dual spiritual roots, or mutated spiritual roots.
[Ding—Would the host like to spend Spirit Stones to activate Idle Cultivation? (Note: During the Qi Refining stage, each unit of Spirit Stone can sustain Idle Cultivation for 24 hours.)]
Throughout the entire Qi Refining stage, Idle Cultivation actually only required one Spirit Stone per day!
Lin Xiao felt like he was making a massive profit.
He immediately spent one Spirit Stone to idle for 24 hours first!
The five Spirit Stones in his private vault were definitely far from enough; he still had to figure out a way to earn more Spirit Stones...
Given the current level of isolation of Xiushui Village, contacting the cultivation world of this realm was out of the question for now.
He could only see if he could obtain Spirit Stones from the system.
He didn't know what the rewards for each mission would be. It would be great if the system had an exchange feature or something similar...
[Ding—Congratulations to the Host for successfully unlocking the "Store". The Host can exchange materials in the Store.]
Lin Xiao smiled.
What a considerate Sys.
[Ding—A new mission has been issued: For an excellent sect, merely having basic infrastructure is far from enough. The most important thing for a sect is, of course, to have many excellent disciples. [Disciple Mission (1)] — Please recruit a disciple as soon as possible.]
Upon receiving this mission, Lin Xiao finally stood up and patted his butt.
Since he had successfully unlocked the "Store", there was no rush to check it right away.
Anyway, he didn't have anything he could use for exchange at the moment.
It was more important to hurry down the mountain and bring the little fatty up to join the sect.
Every day he could start cultivating earlier mattered. After all, unlike himself, the little fatty couldn't use Idle Cultivation.
Moreover, even with his aptitude as a dragon and phoenix among men, he felt that drawing Qi into his body wasn't very smooth. He didn't know how Fuzi's aptitude was. If it was too low, the time needed for cultivation would only be greater.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiao couldn't help but quicken his pace down the mountain.
By this time, it was around three or four in the afternoon.
In the Jiang family's small courtyard, only Jiang Youfu was cleaning the rabbit hutch.
Although these rabbits bred quickly, they were incredibly foul-smelling. However, it was thanks to these rabbits that he had been raised to have such a plump figure.
Even though he wrapped a torn cloth around his face twice, he could still smell the stench of the rabbit hutch.
In his heart, he kept muttering, why hasn't Brother Xiao come looking for him yet?
"Fuzi! It's done!" A very familiar voice called out to him from outside the courtyard.
Jiang Youfu turned his head in pleasant surprise and saw Lin Xiao waving at him from outside the fence.
Before he could drop the broom and dash out the door, Grandma Jiang poked her head out from the doorway of the main room and spoke amiably to Lin Xiao:
"It's Brother Xiao! Fuzi still has to clean the rabbit hutch. Come in and sit for a while. You two can go play after he finishes sweeping."
Lin Xiao waved at Grandma Jiang:
"Hello, Grandma Jiang."
Grandma Jiang's eyes narrowed into a smile, the wrinkles on both sides of her face blooming like flowers:
"Good, good. Come in and sit, Brother Xiao. Grandma has some candied fruits for you."
As soon as Lin Xiao entered the courtyard, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up another broom leaning against the courtyard wall.
"No need, no need. Keep the candied fruits for my eldest nephew to eat."
Saying so, he started cleaning the rabbit hutch together with Jiang Youfu.

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?!
