The Holiday Ends

Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the New Year celebrations are considered finished.

Qin Jianghe was about to leave with his mother and Tietou's Mother.

General Mo is also preparing to return to the capital.

Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que naturally had to receive gifts.

Because of the long journey, Lin Xiao gave the spirit boat to Mo Yuanjiao.

That day, Jiang Youfu was busy at the stove before dawn, making a lot of food and packing it up so that he could give it to Qin Jianghe and Mo Yuanjiao's teams when they left.

As dawn broke, Qin Jianghe and Mo Yuanjiao's group had already packed their luggage and gathered near the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree.

The members of the Lingxian Sect also came to see them off.

Seeing that it was getting late, after everyone had chatted for a while, Lin Xiao took out the spirit boat and handed it to Qin Jianghe.

After receiving it, Qin Jianghe used the spirit boat according to Lin Xiao's instructions.

The spirit boat that landed instantly transformed into a vessel capable of carrying six or seven people.

There was just enough room for the three people heading to Songyang County and the three people heading to the capital.

So the six of them boarded the spirit boat together, and with a Storage Bag full of food, they flew away from the mountain gate, leaving Xiushui Village bathed in the light of the early morning.

After seeing off the six of them, the Lingxian Sect seemed to suddenly become much quieter.

After a moment of melancholy, everyone still entered the cultivation room on time to begin their cultivation for the day.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to go cultivate as well, but the system suddenly sounded a notification in his mind:

[Sect Construction - Sect Facilities (7): How can an excellent sect be without a professional herb garden? A sect without a herb garden is not a complete sect. Please build a herb garden as soon as possible to provide a place for planting various high-grade herbs.]

Another mission has arrived.

Medicinal herb garden...

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao walked towards Liao Pantu's house.

Is there anyone in the sect with more experience than him?

Speaking of which, many of the herbs Senior Liao brought out from the Green Field Mystic Realm haven't been planted yet.

Because some herbs have high requirements for their growing environment and soil quality.

After Senior Liao inspected their sect's spiritual fields, he said they couldn't plant anything there; they would only die.

Therefore, many herbs are still stored and untouched.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao arrive, Liao Pantu took out a new teacup, poured tea into it, and placed it beside him, saying:

"What's wrong now?"

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and pretended to rest.

Lin Xiao smiled and sat down in the chair next to him, picked up the cup of tea and took a sip:

"Good tea!"

Then he said:

"Senior, are you interested in the herb garden?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu opened one eye and looked at him, saying:

"You're going to build a medicinal herb garden?"

Lin Xiao nodded:

"How about it? Are you interested? You can build it however you like, however you want."

"I really can build it however I want?"

Lin Xiao nodded frantically.

Seeing his unwavering resolve, Liao Pantu was very pleased and waved his hand with satisfaction, saying:

"Alright then, I'll take care of this herb garden. You don't need to worry about it!"

"Alright! Then I'll await your good news!"

After successfully completing the task, Lin Xiao took his leave and left Liao Pantu's house.

It wasn't that he was being lazy, but rather that he had other plans to make, so he had no choice but to trouble Senior Liao to do the work of building the herb garden!

On the other side.

With the spirit boat, Qin Jianghe and his group arrived in Songyang County in a short time.

Upon reaching the woods not far from the county gate, they landed the spirit boat and then bid each other farewell.

Qin Jianghe led his Mother Qin and Tietou's Mother into Songyang County, while Mo Yuanjiao and Mo Que continued to escort General Mo back to the capital.

Just as they were preparing to take off, they noticed someone flying overhead.

Looking up, they discovered it was a very large spirit ship!

It flew eastward at a very high speed.

Mo Yuanjiao knew after a moment's thought that the people on the spirit ship were probably from the Shangyang Sect.

After all, there are only two sects nearby: Lingxian Sect and Shangyang Sect.

In addition, news received in the past two days indicates that the portion of the Shangyang Sect members in the capital are preparing to return to the Shangyang Sect and regain control of the sect.

Because Xiushui Village is far from the capital, the information they receive is somewhat delayed.

Therefore, it's not surprising to see people at the Shangyang Sect now.

Mo Yuanjiao waited until the spirit ship had flown far away before restarting their spirit ship and continuing their journey.

Under Mo Yuanjiao's control, the spirit boat shrunk to a size that could carry three people and set off leisurely.

After passing Mo Yuanjiao and his party, the spirit ship of the Shangyang Sect traveled for a while longer before returning to the mountain gate of the Shangyang Sect.

The gate of the Shangyang Sect was still in the same dilapidated state it had been after Wei Hai breached it, perhaps because the Shangyang Sect.

Looking at the desolate and dilapidated mountain gate, the returning group all felt a pang of sadness.

It's okay, though.

They're back!

From now on, they will be the ones to revitalize Shangyang Sect!

Elder Luo, full of vigor, led a group of elders and elite disciples into the mountain gate.

Back in the capital, this group of people had debated the issue of the new sect leader many times.

In the end, Elder Luo, who possessed the sect leader's token, emerged victorious.

Therefore, he should be called Sect Leader Luo now.

A group of people, carrying the triumphant spirit of the sect, came to the sect's plaza to revitalize the spirits of the disciples who had been abandoned in the past.

Although they didn't see any disciples or followers along the way, they weren't too concerned.

These disciples are probably still cowering in fear in a corner, waiting for someone to come out and take charge of them.

However, when Elder Luo stood on the high platform and Elder Xu beside him loudly summoned all the disciples to come out, the sound echoed throughout the sect, but very few disciples came out to gather in the square.

Moreover, the people who came out to gather now were scattered and disorganized, unlike before when everyone at the Shangyang Sect was so enthusiastic.

Upon seeing this, the returning elders were all dumbfounded.

They immediately began questioning and investigating.

It was only after asking that I learned that most of the people who remained were those who still had a chance of success in their spiritual practice.

As for those who had no hope of cultivation, they had long since slipped away while the mountain gates were wide open and unattended.

Because those who had no hope of spiritual cultivation were basically just doing manual labor in the temple.

All sorts of odd jobs and tiring tasks were their duties.

If you don't do missions, then forget about cultivating.

The only ones who couldn't escape were the miners in their sect's small Spirit Stone mine.

Whether during Wei Hai's reign or after his death, this place has always been voluntarily guarded by cultivators.

As for who pockets the Spirit Stone produced, that means whoever manages the Spirit Stone mine owns it.

Therefore, some people did stay.

However, they were not so happy that Elder Luo and his group had suddenly returned at this time.
