Closest to the spirit ship, a man dressed in a cyan official uniform bowed deeply to the vessel and called out loudly, Respectfully seeing off the Immortals!
Lin Xiao guessed this man was probably the county magistrate. Did he come all the way from the county to the town just to see them off?
The crowd standing behind the magistrate immediately followed suit, bowing deeply to the spirit ship and echoing respectfully, Respectfully seeing off the Immortals!
The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the spirit ship looked straight ahead, completely ignoring the officials below. He gave a faint, almost imperceptible nod, then raised a hand and called out, Set off!
The people on the ground, whether standing or prostrating, all craned their necks to watch the spirit ship. They saw the vessel suddenly shudder into motion and slowly fly forward.
Lin Xiao had expected to see the spirit ship shoot up into the clouds and fly away at breakneck speed. Instead, he watched as it hovered about twenty meters above the ground, not ascending any further, but gliding forward at a steady speed of about two meters per second.
Moreover, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but the spirit ship seemed to be struggling a bit.
However, this did not dampen Lin Xiao's yearning to fly. As the crowd dispersed, he hurried back to the village and returned to his sect.
He was going to try creating a flying spell!
Sitting alone in the sect's main hall, Lin Xiao opened the spell creation function. With practiced ease, he placed paper mulberry bark and pine soot ink into the first two slots.
In the third slot, he placed a spirit stone as usual.
In the fourth slot, he began to input his spell concept.
This time, Lin Xiao wanted a spell that would allow him to fly through the air.
So, for thirty seconds, he ran through every scene of immortal cultivation flight he could think of in his mind.
Of course, thirty seconds wasn't enough to cover everything, but Lin Xiao wasn't a perfectionist about this.
Perhaps an incomplete concept would yield an even better spell?
He never demanded absolute flawlessness.
Ding. Commencing spell creation, please wait a moment.
Spell creation successful. It has been issued to your private vault. Host, please check and receive it.
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to open his private vault.
There, inside the vault, was a new book titled Soaring Cloud Art.
Lin Xiao secretly muttered in his heart: I wonder if my brother will feel awkward when he sees this spell?
But that didn't matter.
Because Lin Xiao possessed the system-granted function of passively learning all the spells he created, he had completely mastered this spell the instant it was generated.
The Soaring Cloud Art was divided into three stages:
First stage: Air-Treading Art. By using this art, one could walk on air, lingering in the sky with each step. The duration of the hang time depended on one's cultivation level.
Second stage: Flight Art. This allowed one to manifest a pair of spiritual energy wings to fly. The size of the wings depended on one's spiritual energy value, and within that limit, one could control their size.
Third stage: Soaring Cloud Art. This allowed one to truly achieve the legendary feat of riding clouds and mist, freely shuttling through the air.
The first stage, the Air-Treading Art, could be practiced and used as early as the Qi Condensation realm.
It was just that the lower the cultivation, the shorter the hang time. If one's cultivation was too low, they might end up treading on empty air and falling straight down.
However, with Lin Xiao's current cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, lingering in the air for about a second with each step was not a problem.
Obtaining this spell, Lin Xiao was so happy he wanted to hug his dad and lift him high into the air!
Never mind the second and third stages, which he definitely couldn't use with his current cultivation, just looking at this first stage!
Air-Treading Art!
Lin Xiao was already incredibly satisfied.
From now on, would he ever have to worry about how to pick the fruits growing at the very top of trees?
He could just walk up on the air and pluck the fruit tree bald!
Full of enthusiasm, he immediately began to try it out right there in the sect's main hall.
When Lin Xiao leaped lightly into the air and gently stepped his right foot onto the empty space in front of him, it felt as if he had stepped onto a solid stair. The feeling of weightlessness vanished, replaced by the firm sensation of his foot planting on solid ground.
But this situation only lasted for barely a second.
The next instant, Lin Xiao felt the space beneath his foot give way, and the feeling of weightlessness instantly struck him.
He hurriedly stepped out with his other foot.
Once he adapted to this rhythm, Lin Xiao began to take a stroll through the air above the sect's main hall, walking as if on flat ground.
If someone were to walk in right now, they would witness the bizarre sight of a young man happily walking in circles through the air above the hall.
Unfortunately.
Fuzi was the first unlucky soul to do so.
Ah! Fuzi, who had just walked up to the open doors of the sect's main hall, was startled by the scene inside.
Although he had been a first-level Qi Condensation cultivator for over ten days now, he didn't feel any different from an ordinary person.
Oh, except that he could clean his teeth with magic now.
So he couldn't be blamed for being startled; after all, such a thing simply did not exist in his past twelve years of understanding.
Brother Xiao...?
Seeing the frightened Fuzi outside the door, Lin Xiao quickly walked down from the air to stand in front of him, laughing at him:
Look at how scared you are! We are all people who will cultivate to become immortals in the future. We'll only encounter more and more bizarre things, so you'd better be prepared, Fuzi!
Seeing him land solidly on the ground in front of him, Fuzi finally let his hanging heart settle down completely. Hearing Lin Xiao's words, he blinked and asked:
Brother Xiao, is this also a spell?
Lin Xiao nodded:
Of course! This is a new spell I created that allows you to walk in the air! How about it, isn't it amazing? Do you want to learn it?
Hearing this, Fuzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded so hard his cheeks flapped:
Yes, yes, yes! Brother Xiao, you're amazing! You can even create such an incredible spell!
Lin Xiao, who had a cheat system, rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly:
By the way, why aren't you cultivating properly in the cultivation room? What brings you running over here all of a sudden?
Oh, right! Fuzi slapped his forehead and said, Brother Xiao, Baldy's mother and sister came up the mountain. It seems they're looking for you for something, and Baldy asked me to come over and call you.
Lin Xiao remembered that the sect's defense function was always on, so Baldy's mother and sister wouldn't be able to get in.
He nodded:
Alright, let's head over.
With that, the two of them walked toward the mountain path entrance.
The two walked quickly and soon arrived at the mountain path entrance.
Under the blooming peach trees stretching for miles, Widow Liu and Liu Shengsheng seemed to be blocked by something invisible, unable to take a single step further.
Liu Yunan stood beside the two of them, speaking softly to them.
Lin Xiao didn't listen in, but walked directly up to the three of them and greeted Widow Liu:
Hello, Auntie Liu.
Widow Liu quickly smiled and said:
Hello to you too, Brother Xiao. Thanks to the money you gave Yunan before, Shengsheng's illness was finally treated. I've been busy lately, so I haven't had the time to thank you.
It wasn't that she was busy at all; it was simply that Lin Xiao was elusive all day long. He wasn't home during the day, and at night, it wasn't appropriate for a widowed woman like Widow Liu to visit his house.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
