Moving In

So Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que led General Mo on a tour of the sect.

Meanwhile, in Xiushui Village...

Besides Li Zhanying, there was actually another person who also witnessed the scene at the Grave Mountain.

This person is He Siyou, an outsider.

He came to Xiushui Village today to do some finishing touches on the houses.

Because he was eager to move into Xiushui Village as soon as possible, he had spent a lot of money to hire a group of workers to build the house, and after rushing around, it was finally completed before the Chinese New Year.

But this is just the shell that's been built.

The interior is still under renovation and nothing has been done yet.

But his wife and daughter went to her parents' house for lunch today and won't be back until tonight.

In order to welcome the new year at the foot of Xianren Mountain, He Siyou had no choice but to lead a group of servants to start moving and decorating.

Fortunately, his family's customs are different from those of Xiushui Village; ancestral worship is not held today, so He Siyou still has some time.

Anyway, nothing else matters; the important thing is to move the brazier and bed over first.

Of course, while it was said that he moved personally, he actually just came to Xiushui Village in advance to wait for the move, while the housekeeper handled all the moving matters in the county.

He had already arranged all the valuables in the house, and the housekeeper was a very trustworthy old man, so He Siyou was not in a hurry to wait in the empty new house. He even squatted on the ground in the empty courtyard to study a caterpillar.

The He Household's new house is situated on high ground, offering excellent views from its large courtyard.

It offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, rivers, and fields of Xiushui Village.

Just as he was getting tired of observing the caterpillars and was about to get up, he happened to see the Grave Mountain emitting a faint white light.

At first, he didn't think it was white light; he just thought it was a thin layer of mist.

I was quite surprised; how could there be fog in the middle of the day when it wasn't foggy at all?

Until he saw the mist transform into a giant hand, and then into a wisp that flew towards the village and scattered throughout it.

He then realized what was happening and was amazed by the phenomenon.

As expected of Xiushui Village.

At the foot of Xianmen Mountain, things are truly different!

He looked back at his new house and felt incredibly excited, thinking that from this day forward, his family would become part of a village living at the foot of the immortal gate and protected by the immortals.

If my only daughter could be fortunate enough to join the immortal sect in the future, that would be even more perfect.

His daughter can continue her cultivation while also coming home to visit him and his wife from time to time.

Then I would occasionally go to Lingxian Dining Seat to queue up and compete with Old Ma for food, and sometimes treat myself and my husband to a delicious meal. Wasn't that wonderful?

He Siyou thought to himself.

Who knows, this village might become more and more prosperous in the future, and I can start thinking about some business early on, and contribute to the development of Xiushui Village.

After all, their family has now moved their household registration here and are considered true residents of Xiushui Village. It's only right that they help develop their hometown.

By the time the sacrificial ceremony in Xiushui Village came to a close, it was already afternoon.

It was a cloudy day, and the winter chill couldn't penetrate the villagers' newly purchased winter clothes.

This year, almost everyone in Xiushui Village has replaced their old, worn-out winter coats that had been passed around several times and had long since dried up with clumps, with new winter clothes in their new attire.

The villagers gradually descended the Grave Mountain and returned to the village to welcome the New Year.

On their way back to the village, they saw several horse-drawn carriages carrying loads of goods enter the village and then turn into the He Household's new house not far away.

The villagers were all somewhat surprised.

Because Boss He has been frequently seen walking around the village these days, and often chats enthusiastically with the villagers under the Dashu at the village entrance, everyone knows that Boss He is about to move into their Xiushui Village.

But to everyone's surprise, he moved house on New Year's Eve.

Upon seeing passing villagers, He Siyou, busy arranging unloading, didn't forget to greet them with a smile.

When he saw Lin Xiao, Jiang Youfu, and their family, he felt they looked unfamiliar; he didn't seem to have seen them much in the village over the past few months.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a family that preferred to keep a low profile and didn't like to gossip.

But as the Sun Household family descended the mountain with the crowd, he immediately straightened his clothes and respectfully bowed deeply to Sun Yigao in the crowd.

Because the members of the Lingxian Sect rarely go down the mountain nowadays, and even when they do, it's always at night, He Siyou has never met any other members of the Lingxian Sect.

But he knew Sun Yigao.

This is his daughter's husband.

He was the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, and the teacher of the Immortal's Private School.

Moreover, according to the villagers, Mr. Sun joined the immortal sect on the mountain as early as the beginning of the year.

Sun Yigao, who was passing by, saw this, stopped and returned the greeting, then nodded to him before leaving with his family.

When Lin Xiao returned to the mountain, he saw Liao Pantu standing under the peach tree. Seeing him approach, Liao Pantu took out several storage rings and Storage Bag from his robes and said to him:

"I found this on that Nascent Soul Cultivator, but I haven't given it to you yet. Do you have time now? Let's open it and take a look."

Seeing that Senior Liao had something to discuss with Lin Xiao, the Lin Household members left first and went to the cultivation room to cultivate.

After all, my morning meditation time was taken up.

We have to make up for it.

Otherwise, when will they be able to farm as easily as Brother Xiao!

Lin Xiao looked at what Senior Liao was holding, nodded in agreement, and followed him to the sect's main hall.

Before leaving, he also told Xiaoluan, who was taking a nap in the thatched hut, to tell him to go to the sect's main hall if he saw the Tuzi return.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoluan, still half-asleep, raised a chicken wing, condensed a rope of Spiritual Power, and swung it across the mountain path entrance, placing the rope across the entrance before falling back asleep.

Xiaoluan Luan didn't usually pay much attention to studying Law Technique. This rope was a skill it figured out after it gradually and inexplicably became a gatekeeper.

It will wake up as soon as it encounters the scent it seeks.

In this way, it won't need to keep an eye on things all the time, and I can sleep whenever I want.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao knew it should be able to relay the message, so he left with peace of mind.

In fact, he himself had no interest in the Nascent Soul Cultivator's Storage Bag.

Although Nascent Soul Cultivator may be very wealthy.

But who can blame him when Lin Xiao is the leader of a sect?

He wasn't interested, but the sect's treasury was.

Their sect's storeroom, apart from a corner occupied by the Cold-Concentrating Jade, was basically empty and desperately needed food.

Mo Yuanjiao, who had just shown General Mo a general tour of the Lingxian Sect, estimated that Lin Xiao and the others should be returning soon after the ancestral worship ceremony. He was about to go to the mountain pass to wait for him when he saw the two of them entering the sect's main hall together.

Sigh, it seems that Senior Brother Sect Leader is currently unavailable.

Mo Yuanjiao sighed, then turned around with great interest, intending to take his father to the Formation Hall so that his father could see his son's array engraving skills for himself!
