Arrival

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly stepped forward, fearing that the formation would take effect immediately and leave him behind.

The Lingxian Sect members surrounding the Heaven and Earth Shift Formation saw that two breaths after Lin Xiao stepped into it, a flash of white light appeared within the formation, and in the next instant, the formation plate that had been placed on the ground, along with Lin Xiao and Liao Pantu, disappeared from their original spot.

Lin Xiao felt himself enveloped in a white light, and then sucked into it by a very strong force. A strong sense of weightlessness instantly swept over his body, and his consciousness was momentarily dizzy.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment had gone by. Suddenly, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, replaced by a solid, grounded feeling.

Only when he felt the white light around him dissipate did he slowly open his eyes, which he had unconsciously kept closed.

Liao Pantu had somehow entered the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, leaving only the dark jade pendant floating beside Lin Xiao.

The Heaven and Earth Shift Disc was also transferred with them and is now lying quietly on the ground.

Seeing that Lin Xiao had opened his eyes, Liao Pantu said to him:

"This is a cave abode I used to have outside the sect. I've done a lot of work to conceal it, and no one knows about it. You can use this as a place to stay."

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and took a look around; he was almost blinded by the magnificence of the cave abode before him.

Although this place is called cave abode, Lin Xiao prefers to call it a palace.

Because it was decorated so lavishly!

Although the entire cave abode dwelling is only about 500 square meters in size, far smaller than a royal palace, everywhere you look is adorned with carved beams and painted rafters.

That's not the point.

The key point is that the floor is paved with large, obviously high-quality jade tiles, and Lin Xiao could feel a slight warmth under his feet when he stepped on them.

The beads hanging from the beaded curtain that served as a space divider were all gold, and the surrounding area was filled with various wooden furniture pieces that he couldn't name, but which exuded an expensive fragrance.

The roof was covered with fluorescent Spirit Stone slabs inlaid with luminous pearls.

Inside an incense burner made of an unknown metal next to the house, there was a stick of sandalwood thicker than his head.

The most important thing is the bed at the very back. Although Lin Xiao was very curious as to why a Nascent Soul Cultivator would need to sleep, that wasn't important.

Importantly, this bed is an exquisitely crafted bed, and it looks like it was carved from a single, massive piece of black wood, which he, despite his limited knowledge of such wood, happened to recognize.

Isn't this exactly the same as the Soul-Nourishing Wood he gave away before?

So he actually used such Dayi Soul-Nourishing Wood to carve a bed!

That's incredibly extravagant! I remember when this person saw the Soul-Nourishing Wood I took out, they actually seemed a little surprised.

As a result, he himself went so far as to use wood dozens of times larger than the original to carve a bed!

For a moment, Lin Xiao had only one thought in his mind: to go back and ask Senior Liao for his Soul-Nourishing Wood back.

At first glance, everything inside the house could be summed up in one word: expensive!

This cave abode, a combination of mortal and immortal materials, exudes a strong sense of extravagance.

Lin Xiao glanced at the Soul-Nourishing Pendant beside him. He really wanted to ask Liao Pantu, "Isn't cultivating immortality usually about transcending the mortal realm? Why...?"

Perhaps Lin Xiao's expression was too obvious, so even though he didn't ask the question aloud, Liao Pantu could tell what was going on. He then heard Lin Xiao snort coldly from within the jade pendant:

"Can't I even have my own aesthetic sense while cultivating immortality? This looks beautiful!"

Besides, I went to great lengths to get that bed. I cultivate the Soul Refining Instruction, and this Soul-Nourishing Wood is Dayou beneficial to my cultivation. Don't look at me like I'm wasting a precious resource!

Seeing his self-righteousness, Lin Xiao gave a emotionless "Oh" and turned to continue touring his cave abode.

If this house were demolished and replaced with money and food from the Mortal Realm, it could probably support a country.

Liao Pantu ignored him, extended his soul from the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, and went to his long-unused bed to lie down, letting out a satisfied sigh:

"After all these years, my own home is still the most comfortable."

Although he had not returned for decades, not a speck of dust remained in the entire cave abode.

After Lin Xiao finished looking around, he sat down in a chair.

Perhaps it was because Liao Pantu had set up Spirit Gathering Formation here, but the Spiritual Qi in this cave abode was extremely dense, even surpassing that of the cultivation rooms in their sect.

Lin Xiao felt that the speed of his internal cultivation function seemed to have increased significantly.

He thought about it and realized that it might not only be because Senior Liao's cave abode was well-arranged, but also because it was located in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

After all, Senior Liao had told him before that the concentration of Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi the Immortal Cultivation Realm was far greater than that in the Mortal Realm.

Therefore, the immortal cultivation sects in the Mortal Realm are just insignificant, second-rate sects.

Suppressing the urge to sit down and begin cultivating, Lin Xiao looked at Liao Pantu, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, and asked:

"Senior, do you know where the nearest gathering place for cultivators is?"

However, Liao Pantu waved to him with a lazy look and said:

"Boy, there's no rush to explore the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Take a break first. You're only twelve years old. Why are you always rushing around like you're being chased by a ghost? I rarely see you even when I'm in the sect."

Come and have a long dream with me. This Thousand-Craft Bed made of the Soul-Nourishing Giant Wood was something I went through a lot of trouble to get my hands on. Sleeping on it will Dayou to you, a mere Foundation Establishment."

After saying that, he ignored Lin Xiao, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao had no choice but to go along with the host and lay down on the bed as well.

He was a little curious about what exactly were the benefits of the bed that Senior Liao had mentioned that would be Dayou for him.

The bed didn't look very big from a distance, but when Lin Xiao got closer, he realized it was ridiculously large, about five meters long and three meters wide. He felt he could easily do somersaults on it.

As soon as he lay down, he felt his Divine Sense being enveloped and gently soothed by an indescribable power, like a small fish that had never experienced true comfort in a shallow bay under the scorching sun, suddenly placed in a cool, deep pool—a feeling of breathtaking comfort.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Xiao, who no longer needed sleep, fell into a deep sleep.

However, they didn't notice that outside the cave abode, at the entrance of the array that Liao Pantu had previously set up, three Qi Refining cultivators were studying something.

One of the cultivators held a compass in his hand, muttering to himself as he aligned himself with the surroundings.

The other two were clearly getting impatient and were urging him on:
