A Letter

In the evening, everyone from the Lingxian Sect descended the mountain.

The villagers in Xiushui Village who were working outside also packed up and followed the smoke from their cooking fires home for dinner.

The heat from being baked by the sun during the day gradually fades as night falls.

The members of the Lingxian Sect returned home as the sun set.

Besides Liu Yunan and his family of three who had already settled in the sect, there was also the Lin Household had begun cultivating as a whole.

The other members of the family who lived in Xiushui Village, after returning home and having a meal with their extended families, all unanimously told their close relatives in private:

"Join our Lingxian Sect and come with me to cultivate immortality on the mountain!"

As for those in Tietou's family with complicated relationships, seeing Tietou's family go into the house early and talk about something, they had many thoughts in their minds. However, thinking of the legendary Lin Household's second son that the villagers had been talking about today, they dared not cause any more trouble.

Although Jiang Youfu did not return to the sect in the afternoon, after the incident with the Heart-Questioning Road, some villagers who were on good terms with his family came to chat with his parents.

In this way, Jiang Youfu was well aware of what had happened at the foot of the sect mountain.

So after his parents saw the guests off, he had the idea of leading his whole family to cultivate together.

And they took a bite without hesitation.

The same applies to Qin Jianghe.

Once home, he immediately told his family about it.

Because he'll only stay for two or three days at most this time, and then he'll have to rush back.

I told Yuxiao and my two cousins that I would be back in three or four days at most.

So he needs to make arrangements for his family as soon as possible, so that he won't be worrying about them all day while he's away and can't come back.

In this way, how they persuaded their relatives is a story in itself, and the details are omitted, but in the end, they all successfully convinced their relatives.

They all decided to walk the Heart-Questioning Road tomorrow.

Now let's look at the Lin Household's side.

After Lin Xiao finished his meal and talked with his father and brother about his plans to go into seclusion and the recent arrangements made by the sect, the three of them went back to their respective rooms.

Whether they went back to their rooms to rest or to cultivate, only they themselves knew.

Back in his room, Lin Xiao synthesized many more Location Sound Transmission Talisman, intending to store them in the sect's storeroom for future use.

In case I go into seclusion for too long and all the resources we had aren't enough, then...

He plans to go into seclusion tomorrow.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Xiao opened the System Store and browsed around.

I'd like to see if there are any items that can help me with my cultivation.

Then he saw a row of items in the shop's recommended list, such as pills to improve cultivation, Spirit Gathering Formation, protective magic Law Treasure, and Spirit Concentration- Calming Qi Talisman.

The price in Spirit Stone starts at four figures.

Lin Xiao reasonably suspected that the system was after his money.

However, this time he didn't shut down the store directly, or he wanted to replace it with cheaper items.

Instead, they began to seriously consider their own needs for these items.

I definitely need to buy a Spirit Gathering Formation.

Although the Spirit Vein source point is right outside his secluded cultivation spot, the Spirit Gathering Formation will definitely further improve its efficiency.

Who would complain about a higher concentration of Spiritual Qi?

The Spirit Gathering Formation sold in the store this time is the same as the Spirit Gathering Formation that the system gave him as a reward before; both are Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation.

It costs 2,300 Spirit Stone.

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised to see the price.

I didn't expect the rewards the system gave me before to be so valuable.

He had always thought that the system's Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation should be quite cheap.

It's only at the beginner level, after all.

However, he had previously seen it in the book "Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving" in the Formation Hall, and the Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation was the last chapter in the book.

It is considered one of the most difficult types of basic formations.

It's not easy to learn.

It will take at least some time to practice seriously.

Therefore, Lin Xiao never had time to learn.

Now I have no choice but to buy it with money.

There's no way around it; he always has to pay one of the two: money or hard work.

After Lin Xiao made the purchase, two thousand three hundred Spirit Stone stones were precisely deducted from his private treasury in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the action made Lin Xiao suspect that the system had already pre-calculated the amount and was just waiting to deduct it.

After the purchase was successful, the Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation appeared in the private treasury.

Lin Xiao stared at the Spirit Gathering Formation and suddenly realized that when he created his secluded cultivation location, he hadn't even thought to check the shop for Spirit Gathering Formation first. What a blunder!

I wonder if we can add more Spirit Gathering Formation...

[Ding--Friendly reminder: The building synthesis function has a composite function. You can open the Building Synthesizer, select the buildings you want to combine, and perform a secondary synthesis.]

Lin Xiao was very satisfied with the timely notification from the system.

In this way, all he needs to do is bring this Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation and combine it with the secluded cultivation site again tomorrow, and everything will be fine.

Satisfied, Lin Xiao prepared to lie down and take a final nap before his seclusion.

However, just as he was about to lie down, he suddenly saw a small point of light appear in front of him.

Recognizing that the small dot of light was the sound transmission of the Location Sound Transmission Talisman, Lin Xiao reached out and gently tapped the dot with his finger.

The next moment, the point of light flew into his mind.

Immediately, the calm and respectful voice of Prefect Tong appeared in his mind.

"Reporting to the immortal, I wonder if your sect is located in Xiushui Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Anqun County? If so, then your sect has most likely already been exposed."

Today I received an urgent document from the magistrate of Anqun County, which was intended to be sent to the capital. I have now secretly switched to the ordinary document channel. It will take at least a month to two months, or at most two to three months, for this document to reach the imperial court in the capital.

Official documents are the means by which officials report on situations in various regions, and I cannot intercept them. The only thing I can do is change the channel to buy you more time to respond. I hope you will understand.

After he finished speaking, Prefect Tong's voice disappeared from Lin Xiao's mind.

After listening, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Prefect Tong is a really good person.

Upon seeing the official document, his first thought was that his sect might have been exposed, and he was trying to buy himself some time.

In fact, when he decided to have Yigao cooperate with the sect on this private school, he had already prepared for the sect to inevitably be exposed.

He had already had this idea in his mind when he discovered that his sect's cultivation method was different from others in this world.

He has already made up his mind.

Now that he has the path to immortality...

Furthermore, having established this sect, he no longer intended to allow only his relatives and friends to cultivate, but rather a very small number of people.

He wanted to let more people who lost the opportunity to cultivate because of so-called Spirit Root aptitude also experience the joy of cultivation.

Experience the world of becoming a cultivator.

Although in the end, not everyone may be willing to cultivate, and not everyone may be able to cultivate to a high level or even become an immortal.
