Do You Like Life Here?

Just by feeling the remaining Spiritual Power in his body, Lin Xiao secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. Digging up a few hundred Spirit Stone had actually consumed nearly one-tenth of his Spiritual Power!

Does that mean that even if he digs away tirelessly, he can only dig up a maximum of five thousand Spirit Stone?

And as soon as he finished digging, his Spiritual Power was completely depleted, and he needed to meditate for a long time to recover.

Being a miner is definitely not an easy job.

It seems that even if he needs more Spirit Stone Spirit Stone in the future, he still needs to focus on cultivation.

With several hundred Spirit Stone in his pocket, Lin Xiao left the mine and used the Air-Stepping Technique to ascend into the valley.

It was already dusk outside, and the sky was gradually darkening.

As Lin Xiao reached the entrance of the mountain path and prepared to descend and return home, he saw Mo Yuanjiao and Guard Mo walking towards him on the path.

Upon seeing him, Mo Yuanjiao's eyes lit up and he ran forward:

"Hey! Brother, so this really is your sect!"

For a moment, Lin Xiao didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and then ask them:

"What are you doing...?"

Then Mo Yuanjiao put his arm around his shoulder and said smugly:

"I've become a disciple of our sect leader's father, so we're considered fellow disciples from now on. If you ever need any help, just come find me. See that over there?" With that, Mo Yuanjiao pointed in the direction of Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

"The place my master arranged for me and Old Que to stay is over there. If you need to find me in the future, just go there. I live in the second room on the left on the second floor!"

Lin Xiao looked in the direction he pointed, and after seeing the location clearly, nodded in understanding.

It turned out that his father had arranged for them to live in his own place.

Seeing him nod, Mo Yuanjiao asked:

"Hey bro, where do you live? Are you staying in a mountain retreat too? Let's hang out together tonight!"

Lin Xiao looked apologetic and pointed down the mountain:

I live in a village.

Mo Yuanjiao somewhat disappointed:

"Oh, okay then." Then, as if he'd just thought of something, he leaned close to Lin Xiao's ear and whispered:

"Brother, give me a hint: are the villagers down the mountain all highly skilled immortals, living in seclusion here to experience life?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt rather helpless.

This guy's imagination is a bit too wild, isn't it?

He quickly shook his head to deny the rumor:

"Don't talk nonsense, they're just ordinary people."

Seeing that he denied it, Mo Yuanjiao somewhat disappointed:

"I see. I thought they were all reclusive masters. But then again, how could there be so many true reclusive immortals like my master?"

Lin Xiao silently sized him up for a moment.

He truly deserves his extraordinary talent. Even though he works in the fields with his father every day, he has already become a cultivator at the Qi Refining First Layer.

He asked Mo Yuanjiao with a hint of helplessness:

"You've reached the Qi Refining First Layer now. What do you think your master's cultivation level is?"

Mo Yuanjiao became excited when this was mentioned:

"Let me tell you, my master not only disguised himself as an ordinary person, but he even disguised his cultivation level as the Qi Refining First Layer. Alas, it must be because my master's cultivation level was too profound, and he couldn't completely conceal his Spiritual Power, so he simply used the faint leakage of Spiritual Qi as a disguise for the Qi Refining First Layer."

Looking at Mo Yuanjiao, who was endlessly imagining things, Lin Xiao thought the kid was hopeless.

Forget it, he shouldn't expose this misunderstanding; he shouldn't ruin a teenager's beautiful dream.

So he immediately said:

"I have to go now, you guys enjoy your meal and stay here."

After saying that, Lin Xiao made a quick getaway.

Mo Yuanjiao, who wanted to chatter on and on with him, sighed as she watched his retreating figure disappear into the distance.

"When will I be able to reach that speed?"

The Guard Mo, who had been standing silently behind him, saw that they had entered the sect's Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation. He gripped his sword and said to Mo Yuanjiao:

"Young master, I'm going hunting."

Mo Yuanjiao nodded:

"Go on, go on, but be careful not to hurt Fellow Daoist Xiaoluan Luan's chicken apprentice."

That evening, Mo Yuanjiao and his Guard Mo were having dinner inside the house.

The vegetables were wild game that Guard Mo hunted in the nearby forest, while the staple food was white rice that the family had packed into Storage Bag for Mo Yuanjiao.

While eating, Guard Mo glanced at Mo Yuanjiao, who was eating heartily and imitating Lin Dayou.

Reflecting on the past few days and what he had observed, he thought for a moment and then said:

"Young master, do you like life here?"

Mo Yuanjiao was enjoying his meal, didn't know why he suddenly asked that question, and nodded decisively:

"I love it so much! It's so much more comfortable here than in the capital! Every day I follow my master, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, cultivating while experiencing the true meaning of life in the fields. All the people I meet are kind and honest fellow Daoists and seniors. I love this kind of life so much!"

and,"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

"Old Que, look! I advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer on my second day as a disciple! Have you ever heard of any new disciples who joined the three major sects who achieved such speed? Not to mention the rules of the three major sects."

Guard Mo remained silent.

According to the rules of the three major sects, newly admitted disciples must do odd jobs within the sect for a month, ostensibly as a test of their character. Only after passing the test (by appeasing the seniors in charge of the test) can they officially begin their cultivation.

Moreover, even without this rule, there has never been a disciple who could advance to the Qi Refining First Layer on the second day after entering the sect.

Don't say it's because of Mo Yuanjiao's single Fire Spirit Root talent; from the past to the present, there have been quite a few disciples with Single Spirit Root in the entire Pusi Kingdom.

But reaching the first level of Qi Refining First Layer of cultivation? Very rare indeed, I've never heard the three major sects boast about it.

The most impressive thing they ever boasted about was that a disciple with a Heavenly Spirit Root advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer within three days.

Moreover, given his young master's personality, he felt that perhaps the free and unrestrained life here was indeed quite suitable.

Seeing that Mo Yuanjiao seemed quite satisfied with his current life, the Guard Mo nodded and said:

"That's good."

Since the young master likes it, then Mo Que will accompany him.

Then he imitated his young master, holding his rice bowl and shoveling rice into his mouth.

On the other side, as soon as Lin Xiao entered his home, he saw Lin Dayou trying to use Dust Removal Technique on a pile of farm tools in the yard.

However, it failed several times.

Lin Dayou looked at his fingers Hand Seals and muttered to himself:

"Why is it wrong? I definitely used it last time..."

"Father!"

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, startling Lin Dayou. He looked up at Lin Xiao:

"What are you yelling about, you little brat! You scared your old man half to death!"

Lin Xiao ran over laughing and looked at the farm tools on the ground.

"Dad, what are you doing? Are you still not good at using your Dust Removal Technique?"
