Beginning Secluded Cultivation

But he wants everyone to have equal opportunities.

Whether or not one cultivates, and to what extent one cultivates, is a decision that rests entirely in the hands of each individual.

It's not as if people's right to cultivate themselves is predetermined from birth.

Therefore, he will strive to develop and strengthen the Lingxian Sect, ensuring that it grows in this direction without bias or deviation.

Let more people see it and know about it.

Then, influenced by it, they regained their cultivation qualifications to be ruled by the Spirit Root.

Therefore, he was mentally prepared for the sect's exposure.

When news of their sect was reported to the imperial court, the court had only three possible reactions.

One reason is that people think it's impossible for a sect to appear out of nowhere in a remote, impoverished area; it must be fake or a joke, so they treat it as a laughing stock and ignore it.

Of course, this possibility is extremely low.

Secondly, we should take them seriously, regard them as Evil Dao or foreign forces, and treat them with hostility. We should immediately notify the three major sects and jointly discuss countermeasures.

Given the current close ties between the imperial court and the three major sects, this situation is quite possible, or rather, the probability is very high.

Thirdly, after receiving the news, the imperial court had doubts but also some different expectations. They secretly sent people to investigate and, after confirming the facts, contacted the Lingxian Sect behind the backs of the three major sects. They then secretly discussed some transactions and cooperation with the sect, provided support, and transformed the Pusi Kingdom from a situation where the three major sects stood in a tripartite balance to a situation where a new sect was rising outside of the three major sects.

Over the years, it's impossible that the imperial court had no reservations about the three major sects.

Therefore, Lin Xiao felt that this situation was quite possible.

He was betting that the third scenario would occur.

However, of these three scenarios, the worst one for the Lingxian Sect is only the second one.

If the second scenario does occur, then at worst, everyone in the Lingxian Sect will simply move up the mountain to cultivate and stop going out.

I'll do home renovation.

Anyway, the mountain now has fields, land, mountains, and water; food and Spiritual Qi are plentiful.

Once their sect gains a few more high-level cultivators, the three major sects will probably stop trying to compete with them.

After all, arm wrestling could result in serious injury, giving one's rivals an opportunity to take advantage. If nothing is done, it simply means that the spoils have gone from being divided among three to being divided among four. In any case, the spoils of the Pusi Kingdom are not monopolized by any one sect.

The only one that might cause trouble is Shangyang Sect, which is located in the eastern part of the Pusi Kingdom, just like Lingxian Sect.

But no matter how he considered it, Lin Xiao felt that even if his sect was exposed, it wouldn't be a big problem.

On the contrary, if they are always hesitant and timid in order to avoid being exposed, constantly worrying about whether they will be discovered if they do this or that, that would be a real problem.

Therefore, Lin Xiao was not too worried about the sect being exposed.

However, with the help of Prefect Tong, their sect gained even more time.

That's good too.

Perhaps by the time the imperial court or the three major sects receive the news and prepare to take action, he will have already finished his seclusion?

Moreover, things in this world are constantly changing.

He had no idea what the future held, or what would happen in the next second.

He felt that as long as he made the proper preparations, everything would be fine.

The night outside the window is deepening.

The people of Xiushui Village gradually drifted off to sleep amidst the bright moonlight and the incessant chirping of cicadas.

Early the next morning.

Lin Xiao followed his father and brother up the mountain in the morning dew.

Senior Liao, Mo Yuanjiao, Mo Que, Liu Chun, and Liu Yunan and his family of three, who lived in Returning to the Garden Mountain Dwelling, all waited early under the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree.

Upon seeing the Lin Household father and his two sons arrive, they all came over to greet them.

Lin Xiao took out the Location Sound Transmission Talisman he had prepared the night before and handed it to Liu Yunan. He told Liu Yunan about the letter that Prefect Tong had sent him the night before and then instructed him to send a few more talismans to Prefect Tong.

Before long, the others arrived one after another.

Jiang Youfu stayed by his grandmother's side all night to make sure she was alright and in much better spirits. This morning, she was even able to get up and drink a large bowl of rice porridge before he went up the mountain.

Upon seeing him arrive, Lin Xiao took out the Immortal Food Three-Piece Set and handed it to him.

He was told that these were things he had obtained because he had comprehended the "Original Essence Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter, and they were prepared for him.

Jiang Youfu accepted it with great pleasure.

Today is the day Lin Xiao decided to go into seclusion, which he mentioned to everyone during a previous meeting.

So today, instead of rushing to the cultivation room to begin their cultivation, everyone followed Lin Xiao Lin Xiao the secluded cultivation location he had built.

This is the Nature Platform named by Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao first took out the Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation he had previously purchased from the store, then opened the Building Synthesizer, selected the Nature Platform, and placed the Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation inside to begin the second synthesis.

Seeing this, the people behind him watched him quietly, not saying a word to disturb him.

After he successfully reassembled the Nature Platform and placed it back in its original position, he turned to face everyone and looked at each of them.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said:

"I'll be going into seclusion soon. During my absence, I hope everyone can work together, help each other, cultivate diligently, and manage our sect well. If anything happens in our village, we can discuss how to help each other. Hmm... alright! I won't say any more. I know you all understand, and I believe you can do even better than I asked."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded with smiles:

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao."

"Yes, yes, Sect Leader, don't worry, we won't destroy the sect."

"Brother Xiao, while you were in seclusion, I worked hard to research new dishes. When you come back, I'll cook you a huge feast, just for you all! Hehe."

"I've extracted suitable portions of our sect's cultivation techniques and compiled them into teaching materials. Our sect's seeds will surely spread successfully."

Lin Dayou and Lin Yun looked at Lin Xiao in front of the crowd without saying a word.

They were very pleased.

The child who was once pampered has now grown into the sect leader of a sect.

All my words have turned into a surge of pride in my heart.

Hearing everyone's answers, Lin Xiao felt very warm-hearted.

The sect's affairs have been mostly resolved in the past few days.

If there's anything he missed, then it's up to the rest of the sect to handle.

He felt that everyone in their sect was incredibly powerful these days.

There are knowledgeable seniors, steady and reliable elders, and hardworking, united, intelligent, and kind peers.

Although Lin Xiao still had many worries and concerns in his heart, looking at the people in front of him, he suddenly felt that with these disciples and companions, he had nothing to worry about.

And so all the worries in my heart eventually boiled down to one sentence:

"Okay, I'm going in. Take care, everyone, and wait for me to come out."

After saying that, he turned and went into the Nature Platform.

He began his period of seclusion.

From this moment on, he will temporarily relinquish his identity as the sect master of the Lingxian Sect and focus on seclusion!
