Lingxiao Escort Agency

After reading the letter, Lin Xiao turned his gaze to the black disc inside the wooden box.

The people around him watched him without saying a word to disturb him.

Lin Xiao reached into the wooden box and took out the black disc. Just as he was about to examine it closely, he heard a system notification sound in his mind.

[Ding--Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk and unlocked the sect construction side quest: Immortal Cultivation Realm Training (1): To manage a sect well, connections and information flow are essential. Please go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm and befriend five Foundation Establishment cultivators or a cultivation Aristocratic Clan with at least three Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw the task.

Heading to the Immortal Cultivation Realm?

According to Senior Liao, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is extremely far away from here, and he doesn't even know which direction it's in. How is he supposed to get there?

etc...

Lin Xiao looked at the black disc in his hand.

The system just mentioned that this thing is called the ' Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk '?

Could it be like that Two Aspects Life and Death Formation Disk...?

As the name suggests, this might be a teleportation array?

In this way, it makes sense that the system suddenly issued a task because he obtained this item.

Lin Xiao immediately placed the Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk into his private treasury and used the appraisal function to examine it.

[The Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk, Earth Rank array plate, can teleport you to any place you want to go (provided you know the exact location). Maximum number of people: five. It can be used with Spirit Stone or in conjunction with Spirit Gathering Formation. The specific teleportation distance depends on the Spiritual Qi energy absorbed by the array plate and the number of people in the array. Current Spiritual Qi value of this array plate: 0]

this.

Although this seems to be a teleportation array, and one that doesn't require bidirectional placement, the prerequisite of knowing the exact location is something Lin Xiao can't do.

He's never been to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so even with this teleportation array, he still can't get there...

etc.

Although he didn't know, there was definitely someone in their sect who did.

The crowd, who had been watching Lin Xiao, all turned to look in unison when he suddenly raised his head and looked up at the Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling.

They then realized that the direction he was looking was precisely where Senior Liao's house was located.

Lin Xiao looked at Liao Pantu's house and smiled.

Isn't this just a living navigation system?

The problem will be solved once Senior Liao uses the Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk.

However, thinking about heading to the completely unknown Immortal Cultivation Realm, Lin Xiao felt that he still needed to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

After all, that's a place where cultivators roam freely.

Although if we encounter any danger, we can use the Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation to escape, there's always a chance of something going wrong.

It's more sensible to spend your time improving your own cultivation.

After everyone had eaten, drunk, and chatted their fill, Lin Xiao returned to the Lin Household's old residence to meet with everyone in the family. Then, he went back to the sect and locked himself in his cultivation room to focus on his training.

He has to go out again tomorrow; he really has too little time to cultivate.

Fortunately, the system provided an auto-cultivation function. Although he didn't have much free time to cultivate recently, he never stopped using the auto-cultivation system, and the five Spirit Stone he paid for it every day were steadily paid up.

Now that he had a Spirit Stone mine, he took some time to mine a few hundred stones and then renewed his supply for another six months at once.

While Lin Xiao was diligently cultivating at his sect, Qin Jianghe, far away in Songming County, was facing a thorny problem.

Songming County is a county under the jurisdiction of Taimao Prefecture Hufang Province.

At this moment, in the main hall of a residence in the backyard of a place called Lingxiao Escort Agency on Sanzhao Street in Songming County, a burly boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old was reporting the situation to him.

This man was Fang Manliang of the two cousins that Qin Jianghe had brought with him.

"Jianghe, of our brothers on this escort mission, only Chen Dali escaped with the goods. The other three brothers were killed by those bandits while covering his retreat..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianghe, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked grave.

After sending a letter to Lin Xiao, and waiting for Gu Yuxiao to return, he moved from Anfeng County to what is now Songyang County.

When he first arrived in Anfeng County, after looking around, he felt that working as a bodyguard in a security escort agency was more suitable for him. So, after working at Luo Escort Agency for a while and figuring out the ropes, he decided to go solo.

Of course, a county town is only so big, and he couldn't possibly start a new business in Anfeng County to compete with his old employer Luo Escort Agency. So he looked for Songyang County, which had a larger population.

He had mentioned this to Lin Xiao in a letter he sent back to Xiushui Village.

However, Songyang County actually had several security escort agencies, more than one.

Recently, for some unknown reason, many bandits have suddenly appeared on the official road from Songyang County to the neighboring province. They have intercepted and killed several caravans, and the funeral expenses for the families of the caravan owners have been considerable. As a result, the two caravan companies in Songyang County have not dared to travel in that direction recently, and have only been able to make a living by running small road trips.

Qin Jianghe, relying on his advancement to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining a month ago, opened a security escort agency in Songyang County. After successfully delivering the goods safely twice to neighboring Suiyan Province, he completely established his presence in the area.

With a loud "crack," the teacup in Qin Jianghe's hand shattered into pieces.

He looked up at the empty courtyard outside the house, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"These bandits really think they have too much time on their hands! They won't listen to reason, so they'll suffer the consequences! It seems the lesson I taught them back then wasn't nearly enough, which is why they dared to attack us even after seeing our escort agency's mark!"

The Qin Jianghe of today is not the same person he was two months ago.

Since joining Luo Escort Agency, he has seen more in a month than he did in ten years in Xiushui Village.

Furthermore, after he came to Songming County and took on two jobs to go to the neighboring Suiyan Province, he encountered those vicious mountain bandits on the way. After his first massacre, he completely hid the somewhat cunning but still innocent Qin Jianghe from Xiushui Village in his heart.

Now, he reeks of blood, his hands having touched the blood that has spurted from human bodies.

He has a group of people who depend on him for their livelihood.

And their Lingxian Sect.

In just over two months, he had grown up completely.

Qin Jianghe released his grip, and the shards of the teacup fell onto the table. He stood up, grabbed a large, gleaming sword from the side, and walked into the courtyard.

"Double the funeral expenses and give them to the families of our deceased brothers. I'll take the next job in Suiyan Province."
