Mobilization

Seeing young Mo Yuanjiao running over so excitedly, Liu Chun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to put aside the matter of making talismans for now and go and see for himself.

Upon hearing Jiang Youfu's shout, Yang Jinshu, who was in the cultivation room, put down his pen, got up, and went out.

Even Lin Xiao and Liao Pantu, who were talking inside Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling, came out upon hearing the noise.

Before the group even reached the table, they could smell an enticing aroma.

Jiang Youfu reserved a portion of each dish for those who couldn't make it.

Then everyone sat down at the table and enjoyed the whole fish feast.

Silver-Tailed Fish are spiritual fish, possessing a certain Spiritual Qi. For some reason, after Jiang Youfu cooked them into a dish, their Spiritual Qi actually increased even more.

After eating the delicious fish, everyone felt a faint Spiritual Qi flowing through their bodies like a gentle stream along their meridians.

With the combined blessing of delicious food and Spiritual Qi, everyone felt incredibly comfortable.

Liao Pantu, thoroughly enjoying his meal, slapped his chopsticks and said to Jiang Youfu:

"Delicious! Fatty, your Silver-Tailed Fish is even better than the one cooked by the chef at the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion in Yuanling City! If you opened a restaurant in Yuanling City, I guarantee Immortal Fragrance Pavilion wouldn't stand a chance!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youfu simply scratched the back of his head and chuckled:

"Thank you for your praise. I don't want to open a restaurant; I just want to cook for everyone in our sect."

The Silver-Tailed Fish that Lin Xiao gave to Jiang Youfu was quite large; even after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, much of it was still warm on the stove.

Lin Xiao packed a few dishes, planning to take them down the mountain to the old house for his grandparents to try.

While we're at it, let's also try to persuade them to start cultivating.

However, when he arrived at the entrance to the mountain path, he found six people and two chickens trapped inside, standing there in a daze.

His father and his two older brothers were also among them.

Um...

After thinking about it, he decided to leave it alone and let them go through the process of entering the Heart-Questioning Road for the first time.

Anyway, they'll have to walk this Heart-Questioning Road eventually, since it's the only way up and down the mountain.

Moreover, the first time you enter this "Heart-Questioning Road" will take longer.

His requirements for the screening criteria for the "Heart-Questioning Road" were not very high; as long as one was of good character and had a firm mind, that would be sufficient.

Therefore, anyone who meets this requirement can move freely through the Heart-Questioning Road" process after passing the screening.

Of course, this filtering is dynamic.

In other words, even if you are of pure and upright character now, if you turn evil later, you will still be rejected by the Heart-Questioning Road.

Or perhaps you were originally steadfast and upright, but after a while you became less steadfast and upright, then the Heart-Questioning Road will test and train you again.

The greater the degree of this, the longer the assessment period for the Heart-Questioning Road" will naturally be.

Lin Xiao was very confident that the six people currently trapped inside would be able to pass the screening.

It's normal for it to take a little longer since it's the first time.

Therefore, he did not interfere further.

Instead, he went down the mountain to the Lin Household's old house with a relaxed expression.

At this moment, the Lin Household was also having a meal, and there was an extra meat dish on the table compared to before.

Now that Lin Lei has taken up cultivation, the farm work at home has become much easier with him around.

So Eldest Uncle Lin has more free time now, and he often goes out to find some work to do. Life at home is much easier now.

Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin were overjoyed to see him; their smiles were so wide that the wrinkles on their faces completely covered their eyes.

Eldest Uncle Lin and Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife were also very happy and immediately asked him if he had eaten, and offered to prepare a bowl and chopsticks for him.

Lin Xiao quickly stopped him, explaining that he had already eaten on the mountain, and then placed the various dishes he had packed back on the table.

"These are the spirit fish I brought back from my trip to the Immortal Cultivation Realm. You should try them."

Then he sat down and began to persuade his whole family to practice cultivation with him.

Clearly, no one expected him to bring this up again.

This time, however, they didn't reject him like they had at the beginning. They only let their youngest daughter try it out, and whether she succeeded or not, they would treat it as just a game.

Instead, he fell silent and began to think seriously.

Because they have indeed seen the benefits of cultivation in their work.

Moreover, with Lin Lei at home now, they no longer need to worry about leaving no one to do the farm work while everyone is busy cultivating, as they did before.

With their basic needs met, they were somewhat tempted when Lin Xiao mentioned this again.

Once basic needs like food and clothing are met, people naturally seek more fulfillment.

Old Master Lin held up his pipe, looked up at the group of people who were deep in thought, and then looked up at Lin Xiao, who was looking at everyone expectantly.

He then smiled kindly at Lin Xiao and said:

"Alright, stop thinking about it. I've made up my mind."

He tapped his pipe lightly on the table to bring everyone's attention back.

"Let's all go cultivate, and our whole family can become immortals together!"

Hearing what Old Master Lin said, Lin Xiao's face lit up with joy.

"Then it's decided! Although I might not have much time to teach everyone, I still have my dad and my two older brothers. From now on, we'll cultivate immortality together! Come on, everyone, eat this fish. This spirit fish is very good for your health, and you know what? Fuzi made it, it tastes amazing..."

Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife said with some surprise:

"That Jiang Household lad? Oh my, I didn't realize he was so chubby. He can eat a lot and even cook! I'll have to try him."

And just like that, the number of disciples in the Lingxian Sect increased by five.

Old Master Lin, Old Madam Lin, Eldest Uncle Lin, Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife, and Lin Xiao's eldest cousin, Lin Yan.

In the spring, Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife said she wanted to find a husband for Lin Yan.

She originally planned to find a matchmaker after the busy farming season, but she encountered a rainstorm and forced labor.

Although their village was ultimately unaffected, other villages were.

So no one was really interested in finding a spouse.

Now that she's going to follow Brother Xiao in cultivation, Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife has temporarily given up on the idea of marrying her daughter off.

They're all aiming to become immortals, why the rush to get married and have children?

After all, if their whole family could really become immortals in the future, they wouldn't need anyone to take care of them in their old age or see them off in their final days.

As a woman, Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife didn't want her daughter to experience the pain of childbirth, but everyone had gone through it for generations, so she had to find her a husband so that her daughter could live a normal life.

But for now, none of that is needed.

Even if my daughter doesn't actually become an immortal in the end, she can still be a demigod, right?

If a fortune teller were to get married, which family wouldn't be happy?

Therefore, she wasn't worried at all about her daughter's future.
