He immediately asked the system in his mind: System, what is the cultivation speed of the idle cultivation function?
Ding! Replying to the host's question: The idle cultivation function activated by this system has a cultivation speed roughly equivalent to the human aptitude evaluation of Outstanding.
What level does Outstanding actually mean? And what about those others like Dragon and Phoenix Among Men, Preeminent, and Merely Average? How exactly are these ranked?
Ding! Replying to the host's question: The specific ranking of aptitude evaluations requires the host to unlock the ranking chart to find out. Friendly reminder: All aptitude evaluations are not eternal. Aptitude is merely a phased evaluation made by this system for each individual. Cultivating immortality is inherently a path full of unknowns. Please do not rely too heavily on aptitude evaluations, host.
Alright then.
Receiving this reply from the system, Lin Xiao was not dissatisfied.
He felt the system made a good point. Immortal cultivation was indeed a path full of unknowns. Think about Baldy; before even advancing to the first level of Qi Refining, he had broken through his previous evaluation of Better than Some, Worse than Others with the posture of a mortal, becoming the second Preeminent genius in the sect.
Moreover, he only now realized that idle cultivation was not actually the best cultivation method for him.
A person's cultivation speed was related to their own aptitude and their degree of comprehension of the mental cultivation method.
Thinking about it now, he possessed the Dragon and Phoenix Among Men aptitude but rarely used it to cultivate. When he thought about it like that, it seemed like a reckless waste of natural gifts.
Tsk.
Looking back now, he really shouldn't have acted like that before!
From now on, he absolutely had to set aside time every day to cultivate!
But having said that, he still needed to arrange for everyone to learn the Origin Mental Sutra. This was an S-grade mental cultivation method!
With this thought, Lin Xiao took out some paper mulberry bark and pine soot ink, and copied the mental method twenty times.
He copied extra just in case the number of sect disciples increased in the future.
Lin Xiao felt that an increase in disciples for his Lingxian Sect was only a matter of time. Perhaps in the future, these twenty copies wouldn't even be close to enough!
However, this time, Lin Xiao did not use the mental method simplifier.
After a night of cultivation, Lin Xiao felt that this Origin Mental Sutra did not need a simplified version at all.
As long as one read and absorbed the content, they would naturally understand it.
Body and mind must unite as one in order to cultivate.
Furthermore, everyone was no longer completely illiterate, and with a good teacher like Sun Yigao to answer questions and resolve doubts, Lin Xiao felt that whether or not someone could cultivate this mental method would simply depend on the individual.
But he didn't plan on wasting the other mental methods he had synthesized last night either.
Seeing that the sky was just barely getting light, Lin Xiao guessed that Old Master Lin should be up by now, so he hurriedly ran down the mountain toward the old Lin family residence.
Arriving at the old Lin residence, he saw his eldest uncle Lin Dashan, his eldest cousin Lin Lei, and Old Master Lin squatting in a circle on the ground, washing up.
Each of the three held a willow twig. The only water ladle in the house was passed from Old Master Lin's hand to Lin Dashan's hand, and a moment later, it was passed to Lin Lei's hand.
On the other side, Grandma Lin and his eldest aunt, Madam Qin, were doing the same, except the two of them were using large wooden bowls.
A few days ago, Lin Xiao had cast a Dust Removal Spell on everyone's teeth. Now, they all cherished their mouthfuls of big white teeth and were willing to spend a little extra time every morning to properly protect them.
Grandpa! I'm here!
Cough, cough, cough, ptooey! Old Master Lin was startled by Lin Xiao's sudden shout and choked on a mouthful of rinse water. What are you hollering blindly for, you brat? You nearly scared your grandpa to death!
Lin Xiao didn't even bother with the main gate; he quickly vaulted over the courtyard wall, ran to Old Master Lin's side, and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath:
Hehe, Grandpa, your courage is way too small. I just said hello and you got scared.
Hey! You little brat! Old Master Lin raised the water ladle and gave him a mock smack.
Lin Xiao turned his head to greet the others:
Grandma, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Eldest Cousin, morning to you all! Where are Sister Yan'er and Yingzi?
After spitting out her mouthful of rinse water, Grandma Lin stood up and said:
Sanlang, your grandpa wasn't scared by you. He had a nightmare last night and scared himself. He woke up bright and early shivering next to me.
Madam Qin answered him:
Your Sister Yan'er is in the room combing Yingzi's hair.
Old Master Lin glared at Grandma Lin:
What are you blabbering about? I wasn't scared shivering by any dream!
Then he turned to ask Lin Xiao:
Why aren't you up on your mountain cultivating in whatever sect of yours this early in the morning? What are you doing here?
Lin Xiao smiled cheekily and said to him:
Grandpa, do you have any finished shelves here? Give me one. I want to take it up the mountain to hold books.
Old Master Lin didn't ask him where the books came from; he just thought for a moment and said:
I actually do have one, it's just a bit small. I built it a couple of years ago for a family in the neighboring village. At the time, they said they were sending their little grandson to study, but later on, for some unknown reason, they never came to pick it up.
As he spoke, he turned to Lin Lei and said:
Leizi, go to the woodshed out back and fetch that little bookshelf from the very back for your brother.
Lin Lei had just finished brushing his teeth. He nodded and said:
Alright! Sanlang, wait just a moment.
After saying that, he got up and ran toward the old residence's backyard.
Thanks, big bro! Lin Xiao turned back to Old Master Lin and said:
A little small is fine! I don't have that many books to put on it anyway. But Grandpa, if you have free time during the day, could you build some more bookshelves and things like that for me? Oh, right, it would be even better if you could make some narrow beds and tables.
Hearing him say this, Old Master Lin grabbed the water ladle again and knocked him on the forehead:
You silly boy, no wonder your dad beats you all day! Do you know how much effort it takes just to build one bookshelf? And you want beds too. Building a good bed takes a lot of work. You have to pick good wood and dry it out in the sun. It's not something you can just whip up casually!
Lin Xiao rubbed his knocked forehead and smiled at Old Master Lin:
Grandpa, just tell me what kind of wood you need! I'll go chop it down and bring it back for you! Drying it is easy too, I'll figure something out! I guarantee that the wood I bring back to you will be perfectly dry and intact.
Hearing him say this, Old Master Lin chuckled happily:
Alright, you go get me the wood. I don't have much to do on normal days anyway. As long as there's enough wood, Grandpa will make whatever you want.
As they were talking, the door to a room on the side of the courtyard opened. Sister Yan'er led Yingzi out. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, six-year-old Yingzi's eyes immediately lit up. She ran toward him, hugged his thigh, and called out in a sweet voice:
Third Brother!
Hey! Did little Yingzi miss Third Brother? Lin Xiao bent down, picked Yingzi up in his arms, and asked her with a smile.
Yingzi rubbed her head against his neck and nodded:
I missed you! Third Brother, I also want to eat roast wild rabbit!
Hearing this, Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was a time before when he, Fuzi, and the others had good luck and caught several wild rabbits in one go. He had saved half a rabbit from his own share and brought it back to the old residence. He hadn't expected the little girl to still remember it now.
