Our Sect

However, he didn't make the spirit boat perform a somersault or soar into the sky just because he was happy.

He was afraid that if it flew too high and the villagers saw it, it would frighten them.

After all, from a distance, this spirit boat looks like a big black lump with pointed ends.

Having thoroughly experienced the results of his 'first attempt at weapon crafting,' Lin Xiao was very satisfied with his crafting skills.

I never expected that I could make such a functional Law Artifact on my first try. He truly deserves the title.

Speaking of which, the "Complete Compendium of Basic Artifact Refining Techniques" also explains how to identify the grade of Law Artifact.

However, he had been so focused on the weapon-refining section that he hadn't paid attention to these details.

However, things like levels are irrelevant; he doesn't have high requirements now, as long as the things he makes are usable.

He can pursue higher levels after his skills improve!

Thinking that Mo Yuanjiao in the Artifact Refining Hall should have seen enough and might have some questions, Lin Xiao manipulated the spirit boat to land, shrunk it, and put it away before going inside.

"How is it? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Mo Yuanjiao looked up from the book and said to him:

"There really is, Sect Master. Like that little boat you just made, is it too advanced for my current cultivation level to refine?"

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded:

"Yes, you can't do it yet. Speaking of which, you also need to know how to control objects with Spiritual Power to refine artifacts, otherwise you won't be able to get the materials out of the cauldron. I'll get you a book on Object Control Technique in a bit, you can learn it on your own when you have time."

Then he added:

"With your current cultivation level, you can try refining some small items. Take a look at the Spirit Inscription on the back; among Spirit Inscription, you can choose some simple ones and try making some small magic Law Artifact with a single Spirit Inscription."

"Oh! Okay!" Mo Yuanjiao nodded in agreement, then lowered his head to study it again.

Looking at Mo Yuanjiao, who was diligently studying, and recalling how earnestly he had been practicing his skills Law Technique recently, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly spoke to the person who was engrossed in his studies:

"Yuanjiao, actually, things here might not be as good as you imagine."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

Lin Xiao considered for a moment, then continued:

"Actually, our Lingxian Sect doesn't have a long history, it's not a reclusive sect, and it doesn't have any unfathomable predecessors, um... except for Senior Liao."

Do you know what I mean?

Mo Yuanjiao blinked at him.

Seeing that he didn't seem to quite understand, Lin Xiao persisted:

"Everything here is exactly as you see it with your own eyes. You don't need to make any connections. It's just a small sect with a dozen or so members, most of whom are still young. There are many things that we need to build up little by little."

The sect leader is me, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Senior Liao is a fragment of the soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator I rescued from a secret realm; his current strength is still inferior to mine. As for my father, he's your master. He's a genuine farmer, a solid Qi Refining First Layer cultivator, without any pretense."

Having explained everything in one breath, Lin Xiao felt a great sense of relief.

"Therefore, you should carefully consider whether you want to leave or stay and become a disciple of my Lingxian Sect."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Mo Yuanjiao was stunned for a moment.

After all, what he said was quite different from what I had always believed.

But then he thought again, "Actually, it's not so bad, is it?"

Seeing Lin Xiao turn to leave, he quickly said:

"Sect Leader, wait a minute!"

Hearing him call out to him so quickly, Lin Xiao turned around with some confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Mo Yuanjiao stood up, walked up to him, and solemnly said:

"Sect Leader, although I always thought our sect was some kind of hidden sect and our master was some kind of reclusive master, now that you have told me the whole truth, I do not feel the slightest bit disappointed!"

To be honest, my joining this sect was actually guided by a fortuitous opportunity encounter in my dream. I didn't know what that fortuitous fortuitous opportunity would be like, but it's a fact that I've Qi Refining every day since joining the Lingxian Sect, and it's also a fact that I've encountered all sorts of things I've never seen before. In these days, I haven't felt the slightest bit unhappy or regretful. I think this must be my destiny with the Lingxian Sect."

As he spoke, his gaze was firm and filled with pride as he said to Lin Xiao:

"Besides, rather than joining a so-called major sect that's already established and whose future is predictable, it's better to stay here and work together with fellow disciples to build a sect whose future is unknown, but full of potential!"

After speaking, he solemnly raised his hand and bowed deeply to Lin Xiao:

"I hope you will take good care of me in the future, Sect Master."

Deeply moved by his words, Lin Xiao looked at Mo Yuanjiao, who was bowing deeply before him, and also bowed respectfully to him, saying:

"Our Lingxian Sect is fortunate to have Yuanjiao join us. We hope that we can work together to build and protect our sect in the future."

Outside the door, Jiang Youfu and Liu Yunan, who had been eavesdropping for some time, suddenly rushed out and, mimicking Lin Xiao, said to Mo Yuanjiao:

"Our Lingxian Sect is fortunate to have Yuanjiao join us. We hope that we can work together to build and protect our sect in the future."

Upon hearing their voices, Mo Yuanjiao stood up in surprise.

"Fuzi, Tuzi, you're here too!"

Because they had all been learning to inscribe formations at the Formation Hall recently, the three of them gradually became acquainted.

Mo Que even sent them two of the prey he hunted last night.

Lin Xiao had noticed them long ago, but there was no need to hide this from them, so he remained silent.

Liu Yunan came in with a grin and lightly punched his shoulder, saying:

"Wow! What you said almost moved me to tears."

Jiang Youfu pulled a few roasted soybeans from his waist, popped them into his mouth, and nodded as he chewed:

"Yes, yes, what you said was so well said. I think so too, but I definitely couldn't say it myself."

Liu Yunan poked his chubby cheek and said:

"Forget about it for the rest of your life. Just eat your fried beans."

Seeing them joking around, Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"By the way, I've been thinking about something lately. As our sect grows bigger, we'll have to start taking on disciples, right? Right now, it's fine; we have time to vet the people we take on. But as the number of people increases, we won't have time to get to know each one and judge their character. I was wondering if we should set some standards for taking on disciples. Do you have any ideas about these standards?"

At that moment, Lin Xiao heard a system notification sound in his mind:

[Ding--Congratulations, host, on starting the sect construction mission: Recruiting Disciples (1): An excellent sect must begin recruiting disciples, and the selection of disciples' character is an essential step. Please build a qualified sect's Heart-Questioning Road, and all future recruited disciples must pass this stage to join the sect.]
