Honoring the Ancestors

During his seclusion, as his cultivation level increased, he felt that he was becoming more and more adept at creating these minor Law Technique.

Now that he Golden Core Stage, he no longer needs the system's Law Technique creation function and can develop some minor Law Technique on his own.

Soon, everyone saw that the pig in the wooden basin had visibly turned white and was cooked.

After all the items were prepared, and seeing that it was almost time, Old Master Lin led the Lin Household to meet up with other members of the Lin Household in the village, and together they headed to the Grave Mountain.

Along the way, everyone looked at Old Master Lin and his family and felt that something seemed different about them.

Especially that kid Lin Xiao.

Many people want to ask questions, but are hesitant to do so.

Only a few elders from the Lin Household walked at the front chatting with Old Master Lin.

Naturally, their curiosity got the better of them, and they asked about their ascension to immortality.

So Old Master Lin waved his hands repeatedly to explain to them that he hadn't become an immortal, he was just cultivating.

Whether or not one can become an immortal is still completely uncertain.

For Old Master Lin, the most striking aspect of cultivating immortality is its efficiency and convenience in farming.

So when his old friends asked about it, Old Master Lin emphasized how convenient and productive farming was after they started cultivating immortality.

Hearing his words, the group sighed in amazement, and each of them thought to themselves, "So even immortals need to eat and farm."

Suddenly, everyone felt that the Old Master Lin, whom they had thought had become immortals, seemed to have remained unchanged.

It's just that farming isn't as strenuous for them these days.

But they've become immortals, so farming is easier for them, isn't that to be expected?

Thus, the few old men who had been somewhat reserved beside Old Master Lin, their faces crinkled with smiles, dared to pat Old Master Lin's arm gently as before, and give him a thumbs-up, praising the pig their family had brought out today for being truly impressive.

When Old Master Lin heard them praising his pig, he was so happy that his eyes disappeared from his smile. He proudly introduced the pig to everyone, saying that his eldest grandson was the one who chopped it, his second grandson scalded the skin, and his youngest grandson collected the blood.

They didn't even think to mention their two sons, who were only carrying a pig's trotter.

Hearing this, Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife and several of Old Madam Lin's sisters-in-law dared to start gossiping with them about this family and that.

Lin Xiao didn't need to turn his head to look around to clearly observe the changes in everyone around him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's wonderful that the elders in the family are still able to get along with their relatives and friends after practicing Falun Gong.

He had been worried that his elders might become estranged from their relatives and friends because of their cultivation, but now it seems that he had worried too much.

Perhaps for them, cultivation and immortality are nothing more than improved physical health and more ways to get things done.

It's like learning another powerful technique.

That's all.

We are all still people living our lives on this land, step by step, with our feet firmly on the ground.

The other companies are basically the same.

At Tietou's home, his uncle and aunt, who had previously disliked him, no longer dared to say anything disparaging and even flattered Tietou's Mother's mother the whole way.

When Tietou's mother thought about how her family had forced her son Tietou to participate in the previous conscription, she felt a sense of pride and her words became more arrogant.

But after a while, seeing her former friends fawning over her and behaving obsequiously, she felt uneasy again.

Then I thought, sigh, people all live a hard life. Life's finally gotten a little better now, what's there to brag about? Just because she's wearing a fairy's skin doesn't mean she's still a villager.

There's no need for that.

After figuring things out, she calmed down and returned to her usual normal attitude, happily chatting with her relatives and friends again.

Seeing this, the people around her breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with her more sincerely and warmly.

The same applies to the Qin Household.

Qin Jianghe rushed back early this morning to pay respects to his ancestors and celebrate the New Year at home.

Friends who used to speak sarcastically to his family didn't dare say anything, while those who were on good terms with them now surrounded them, offering words of comfort and concern.

Jiang Youfu's family was fine, but Jiang Household relatives kept praising Jiang Youfu, saying he Youfu, to the point that Jiang Youfu was almost embarrassed by the praise.

As for the Sun Household, it had almost no impact.

The Sun Household is a lone household in Xiushui Village, with hardly any relatives.

The relatives were mostly from outside the family.

It was the time for the sacrificial ceremony, so naturally no relatives or friends accompanied them.

And so, at noon, families from Xiushui Village went up the Grave Mountain one after another, arranged the offerings they had brought, and began their respective sacrificial rites.

Li Zhanying had inquired about the customs of Xiushui Village over the past two days and knew that the village was holding an ancestral worship ceremony at noon today. Having nothing else to do, he followed along from a distance to take a look.

Having reached his level of cultivation and age, he no longer had any taboos about these things.

As long as he doesn't let the villagers find out he's offended them, it's fine.

Li Zhanying was particularly interested in these rural folk customs.

Because this was different from what he had learned in the palace, and he always felt that the customs of these villagers were more down-to-earth and relatable.

Having lived in the deep palace for so long, he particularly envied and longed for this kind of everyday life.

Along the way, listening to the everyday stories of the people in Xiushui Village, Li Zhanying felt a sense of release for her tense soul.

Seeing the villagers' reactions to the Lingxian Sect members and their families, and the attitudes of those Lingxian Sect members towards their former relatives and friends, he couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

A simple and honest heart is the most precious thing in this world.

Unexpectedly, the Lingxian Sect is so different from the sects I've known before.

Although he didn't know much about this sect, his character could be discerned from his attitude.

Li Zhanying felt that the fact that this sect had defeated Wei Hai was enough proof of its strength.

What's rare is that the people in this sect are all so simple and honest, neither arrogant nor impatient. Just by looking at these disciples, you can tell what the sect's atmosphere is like.

The emergence of such a sect within their Pusi Kingdom might be fortuitous opportunity upon their nation by Heaven.

It seems I made the right choice coming here.

When they arrived near the Grave Mountain, Li Zhanying carefully concealed himself and then quietly stood aside, watching the clan leaders or patriarchs of various families chanting eulogies on the Grave Mountain not far away.

The smoke from the burning incense rose straight up, gathered in the air, and then dissipated.

On the Grave Mountain, looking at the tombstones of their ancestors, Lin Xiao, along with all his family members, composed themselves and respectfully kowtowed to them.

In Lin Xiao's heart, his hardworking ancestors will always be the gods he respects the most.
