Beginning of Summer

"As for talisman crafting and array formations, they mean the same thing. They are all auxiliary techniques. You will understand once you all start learning."

"Therefore, these four techniques are also very important. Thus, our sect's next plan is to complete the construction of facilities for these four categories. Just like the alchemy room not far from our cultivation room, we still need to build a talisman crafting room, an array hall, and an artifact forging hall. As for the materials required for this,"

Lin Xiao looked at Tietou below the stage and said,

"Tietou, I'll leave you in charge of organizing this. I will tell you the approximate quantities needed later, so I won't worry about the material collection part anymore. Once the materials are gathered, Tietou, just come and tell me, and I'll start building right away."

Feeling entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Tietou nodded with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao! I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

At the same time, the system also sounded in his mind, issuing system quests:

[Sect Construction - Sect Facilities (5): An excellent sect naturally cannot do without various venues with clear divisions of labor. Various supplies that assist in increasing strength are naturally indispensable. Please build an artifact forging hall as soon as possible to provide sect members with a good place for forging artifacts.]

[Sect Construction - Sect Facilities (6): An excellent sect naturally cannot do without various venues with clear divisions of labor. Various supplies that assist in increasing strength are naturally indispensable. Please build an array hall as soon as possible to provide sect members with a place to learn and create array formations.]

The moment he received these two quests, Lin Xiao's first reaction was: More spirit stones are about to come in.

Having finished speaking about these three matters, Lin Xiao clapped his hands together and summarized directly:

"That's all for today's meeting. I hope everyone can help and support each other on the future path of seeking immortality and the Dao. Let's all work hard on our cultivation together! Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Just like that, the first sect meeting of the Lingxian Sect came to a successful conclusion.

Everyone left the sect's main hall one after another and returned to the cultivation rooms to begin today's cultivation.

Lin Dayou, however, did not go to cultivate immediately. He first went to check the spirit fields, and then found Lin Xiao, asking him to hand over all the seeds.

Lin Xiao took out all the remaining seeds from his private storehouse and handed them to him, asking curiously:

"Dad, what do you need these seeds for? I saved these just in case the crops failed."

Lin Dayou took the seeds and rolled his eyes at him:

"I saw such a large empty patch in the spirit field and thought it was a waste! Besides, with the 'Spirit Herb Cultivation Manual' you gave me, could your dad possibly mess up the planting? Do you think everyone is like you, not even knowing to save seeds when harvesting grain?"

Lin Xiao chuckled sheepishly, watching Lin Dayou leave with the seeds, enthusiastically heading off to farm.

Seeing him leave, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked his dad's aptitude yet.

So, he opened the sect member panel.

Upon opening the sect member panel, Lin Xiao realized that he hadn't even checked his eldest cousin's aptitude either.

He first clicked on Lin Lei's panel.

[Name: Lin Lei]

[Gender: Male]

[Bone Age: 16 years old]

[Aptitude: Just Average]

[Cultivation: Qi Condensation First Layer]

[Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Changeable)]

[Sect Position: None (Changeable)]

After taking a look and seeing that his aptitude was Just Average, he made a mental note of it and immediately opened his dad Lin Dayou's panel.

[Name: Lin Dayou]

[Gender: Male]

[Bone Age: 32 years old]

[Aptitude: Unremarkable]

[Cultivation: First Level of Qi Refining]

[Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Modifiable)]

[Sect Position: None (Modifiable)]

Good heavens.

As expected of his father, even with seemingly mediocre aptitude, the system's evaluation was different from others.

Unremarkable, another newly appeared evaluation.

Nowadays, Lin Xiao did not care too much about everyone's aptitude.

For now, he just looked at it for the sake of it.

After all, there was the example of Jiang Youfu. Despite his worse than the best, better than the worst aptitude, he currently had the highest cultivation in the sect, excluding Lin Xiao himself, Sun Yigao, and Senior Liao.

Therefore, Lin Xiao felt that this aptitude thing was a bit mystical.

Then he changed the sect status of both Lin Lei and his father to Personal Disciples. As for their sect positions, he could not be bothered to change them.

Anyway, this stuff was only for him to see. As for specific sect duties and such, he would have to wait until he planned it out properly in the future before making any real arrangements.

Seeing that the father and son had finished talking, Liao Pantu, who had been waiting far to the side, hurried over when he saw Lin Xiao standing alone motionlessly.

He stroked his beard and smiled awkwardly at Lin Xiao.

Little Sect Master, can we discuss something?

Please speak, Senior. It was rare for Liao Pantu to take the initiative to look for him, so Lin Xiao found it quite novel.

That kid Yigao has very good alchemy talent. I want to pass on all my alchemy skills to him and take him as a disciple. Of course, you are still his master; I will just be his second master. What do you think?

Lin Xiao wondered what it was about. Hearing this request, he did not expect that Senior Liao, a Nascent Soul cultivator, would abide by such rules so strictly.

Why would not that be okay? As long as Yigao agrees, I have no problem with it!

Receiving Lin Xiao's affirmative reply, Liao Pantu was very happy and said to him.

Alright then, I will go look for him.

After saying that, he waved his hand and went to find Sun Yigao in a cheerful mood.

Since Lin Xiao agreed, Sun Yigao naturally would not refuse. After all, Senior Liao had indeed taught him alchemy previously.

Thus, the next day, everyone in the Lingxian Sect knew the news that Liao Pantu had become Sun Yigao's second master.

This was the result of Liao Pantu intentionally or unintentionally showing off everywhere.

Not two days later, Little Luan brought back three wild pheasants from who knows where, proudly introducing them to everyone as its three newly accepted disciples.

Everyone looked at the three wild pheasants shivering in the thatched shed under its despotic power, speechless for a moment.

Little Luan, however, was extremely complacent. Its little chicken claws paced around with a swaggering gait. It circled the three wild pheasants step by step, clucking to instruct them as it walked.

Who knew if these three wild pheasants, whose spiritual intelligence had yet to be awakened, understood or not. Anyway, Lin Xiao and the others only saw the three wild pheasants shrinking in the corner, trembling with fear, not even daring to look at Little Luan.

Shifting his gaze down, Lin Xiao saw the ground covered in chicken droppings beneath the claws of the three wild pheasants.

He sighed silently and instructed Little Luan.

Little Luan, in the future, make them go to the fields when they need to poop. Do not let them do it here.

Cluck, cluck, alright! Saying that, it turned its head and began to reprimand the three wild pheasants with a look of disappointment at their failure to meet expectations.

Cluck cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck, cluck!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Start of Summer.

By now, the work in the fields had gradually begun to wind down, and the villagers started visiting their relatives.
