Grain Full

The three pheasants, under its oppressive power, had no interest in the things on the ground, but dared not resist and could only pick up the hard, broken pieces.

The Xiaoluan urged them to swallow it.

The three pheasants' beaks couldn't break the small piece at all, but fortunately, Xiaoluan had broken it down small enough, so the three pheasants simply raised their heads and swallowed the small piece.

When the fragments first entered their stomachs, the three of them didn't seem to feel anything, and continued to cluck and wander around in circles in the thatched hut.

However, gradually, the three of them slowed down, and the crowing gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, one of them collapsed to the ground with a 'thud'.

Then came the second one, and the third one.

Xiaoluan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Don't they usually sleep sitting up, nestled in their nest? Why are they lying down like humans today?

Xiaoluan walked up to the three of them and gently kicked each of them with its little chicken claws. Seeing that there was no reaction, it didn't pay any attention. Feeling a bit sleepy, it yawned, went to its straw mat, and curled up to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the Formation Hall, Lin Xiao accompanied Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que to practice engraving the "Slight Cooling Formation" once more before going down the mountain to go home for dinner.

It was already dark, but Mo Yuanjiao was still engrossed in reading the "Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving" that Lin Xiao had left him in the Formation Hall.

Mo Que took a candlestick from their luggage and lit it on the ground beside him.

Then he sat quietly in meditation to the side.

Mo Yuanjiao's fluency in inscribing the array diagram on the second attempt was greatly improved. It didn't take long to inscribe a complete Slight Cooling Formation. Moreover, this time, he still had some Spiritual Power left in his body and hadn't exhausted it too much.

Moreover, after reviewing it, Lin Xiao confirmed that the array diagram could be directly copied and used normally without any reduction in effectiveness.

Encouraged by the affirmation, Mo Yuanjiao developed a great interest in carving the array diagram, forgetting all about the seedlings he had been carefully tending to in the past few days.

Seeing his talent and keen interest in learning, Lin Xiao left him the "Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving".

Before leaving, she told him to keep it safe.

Mo Yuanjiao sat in the Formation Hall, engrossed in turning each page of "The Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving" by the dim candlelight.

It wasn't until his stomach rumbled that he suddenly realized what was happening and looked up at the sky outside.

Outside the Formation Hall, a bright moon hung high in the dark night sky.

--

The next morning, as soon as Lin Xiao got up, he felt that the air around him was a bit damp.

Looking outside, the sky was dark and gloomy, even though it was already early morning, because it was covered by dark clouds.

It looks like it's going to rain.

And judging by the thickness of these dark clouds, the rain is probably quite heavy.

Today is Xiaoman, the time when crops are filling out, and some rain is just right, saving the villagers the trouble of watering.

When Lin Dayou got up and saw the dark clouds overhead, he was overjoyed.

After breakfast, the three members of the Lin Household went out together. Villagers who knew Lin Dayou greeted him.

An old man from a distance, carrying a hoe, saw the father and his two sons walking lightly towards the North Mountain. He frowned and disapprovedly said to Lin Dayou:

"Dayou, you shouldn't spoil kids like this. It's one thing to not let these two help you in the fields now, but lately you've been taking them up the mountain all the time. I haven't seen you going to the fields as diligently as usual."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dayou smiled and greeted him:

"Good morning, Third Elder Qin. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and it won't interfere with the work."

The old man, known as Third Elder Qin, only said a few words when he saw Lin Dayou, and seeing that Lin Dayou didn't care, he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the Lin Household and Old Man Lin are keeping an eye on things.

Old Man Lin is a reasonable man. If he sees his second son's family starting to waste their lives, he will probably teach them a lesson.

So he shook his head and took his children and grandchildren to the fields.

Along the way, the villagers that the Lin Household father and his two sons encountered were all beaming with joy.

Everyone is hoping this rain will help the crops ripen, and that the increased harvest will lead to a bountiful year.

Lin Dayou and his two sons, as always, went up the mountain and began their cultivation for the day.

However, even by noon, after everyone in the Lingxian Sect had finished their cultivation and started their free time, the rain was still holding back in the sky without any sign of starting.

As soon as it was time, Lin Dayou, Lin Yun, and Lin Lei went down the mountain to work.

Yang Jinshu handed Lin Xiao several copied Law Technique overnight, and Lin Xiao placed them on the small bookshelf behind the cultivation room.

Having not written in a long time, she felt a bit itchy and asked Lin Xiao if there was anything else that needed to be copied.

Lin Xiao then took out the "Complete Collection of Basic Pill Recipes," the Complete Compendium of Basic Talisman Drawing," and the " Complete Compendium of Basic Artifact Refining Techniques " from his private treasury and gave them to her to copy.

Tietou led the two young girls from the Lingxian Sect to dig for flowers all over the mountain again.

Every day, they would dig up many flowers and plants, roots and all, and plant them all over the sect.

But Xiaoluan and its three apprentices were nowhere to be found.

Lin Xiao guessed that Xiaoluan had taken them somewhere to forage again, or perhaps they were hiding in the thatched hut taking a nap.

Only Liu Yunan, Jiang Youfu, Mo Yuanjiao, and Mo Que remained by Lin Xiao's side.

Lin Xiao then asked Liu Yunan and Jiang Youfu:

"Why don't you two go and learn how to inscribe array formations together?"

How could the two refuse Lin Xiao's suggestion? They immediately nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

As a result, the Formation Hall study group gained two more members.

Perhaps because of their relatively high cultivation levels, they learned basic formations quite quickly, and could basically inscribe them quite well after two or three tries.

However, when Lin Xiao began teaching them the Insect-Killing Formation, it stumped them.

The Insect-Killing Formation is slightly more difficult than the previous Slight Cooling Formation. The array diagram is more complex, and there are many more turning points in the Spiritual Power.

Jiang Youfu and Liu Yunan were clearly not particularly talented in formations; they tried to carve several times but failed to create a usable one.

Lin Xiao also wanted Mo Yuanjiao to try, but his Qi Refining First Layer cultivation was just enough to inscribe the most basic array, not enough to inscribe this slightly more advanced Insect-Killing Formation.

However, Lin Xiao wasn't disappointed. He was already quite satisfied with having Mo Yuanjiao as a talent for inscribing magic arrays.

Oh no, not just one, there's also him.

Although Fuzi and Tuzi didn't have much talent in formations, he believed there must be other skills that were more suitable for them.
