Joining

After finishing all that, Lin Xiao returned to the mountainside with a large number of identity tokens from his private treasury.

The first thing to do was to go to the Affairs Hall not far from the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree and change its name to the General Affairs Hall.

Previously, this place was the place where all affairs, large and small, of the sect were managed. Now that its responsibilities have been changed, its name naturally needs to be changed as well.

That's right, Lin Xiao plans to hand over the position of the General Affairs Hall to Liu Yunan.

After all, he is the one who understands the sect's affairs and people the most, so he is the most suitable candidate.

After changing his name, he went inside, handed the token to Liu Yunan, and explained to him the method of recognizing the owner and the function of these tokens. Lin Xiao then handed over the task of distributing the tokens to Liu Yunan.

Then, from the large pile of tokens in his arms, he pulled out the token of the General Affairs Hall and said to him:

"Tuzi, this is the token of the General Affairs Hall. From now on, you are the General Affairs Hall."

After speaking, he told Liu Yunan about his plans for the various positions within the sect and the arrangements for the various hall masters and elders.

After listening, Liu Yunan put away the large pile of identity tokens in his arms and nodded repeatedly, saying:

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, I'll draft the regulations in a bit, and distribute the tokens to everyone tomorrow, but..."

He hesitated slightly before continuing:

"But Brother Xiao, are you sure this important matter doesn't require a large meeting to confer titles in front of everyone?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao, who had initially intended to shirk responsibility because he had many other things to do, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said:

"You're right, this definitely needs a formal meeting. Hey, do you think we could ask Jianghe to come back, and then you can set a time."

Seeing that he agreed to the meeting, Liu Yunan smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll go talk to Jianghe first and see when he can come back, then I'll inform everyone."

After saying that, he took out Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a letter to Qin Jianghe.

Lin Xiao left the General Affairs Hall to begin working on the yet-to-be-established Finance Hall and Law Enforcement Hall.

He planned to place both halls on the floating island.

After all, both of these places are for handling official business, so they don't have high requirements for the concentration of Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, building synthesis is also very simple.

He placed the two assembled buildings directly near the library on the floating island, with the Finance Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall about a hundred meters apart.

But after thinking about it, he decided not to move the General Affairs Hall.

Since the General Affairs Hall handles affairs for all disciples on a daily basis, as well as assigning tasks and distributing supplies to disciples of the sect, and the First Path is not far away, it is more convenient to stay in the same place.

With the completion of the Finance Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall, a contribution statistics table was automatically generated inside each of their doors.

Not only here, Lin Xiao checked and found that this item had appeared in every office.

The next morning, Xiaoluan ran to find Lin Xiao, pointed in the direction of the Heart-Questioning Road, and called out:

"That person has come out!"

Lin Xiao, who had been busy for several days after returning, was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was talking about Yuan Qing.

So he patted Xiaoluan's head, took out a fruit from his private treasury—one of the kinds of food the Demon Beast he had picked earlier liked—and handed it to it, nodding as he said:

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoluan. I'll be right there."

Xiaoluan stretched her head out and smelled the red fruit in his hand. She found it to be very fragrant and full of Spiritual Qi, so she happily opened her mouth, took it, and then ran to the side to eat it by herself.

Seeing that it was still like a child after a year, Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled. But then again, it was only a little over a year since it had become intelligent, and it had been living in the sect ever since, so everyone treated it like a child and spoiled it. That was normal.

As he pondered this, he disembarked from the floating island and headed towards the Path of Heart-Questioning Road.

After waking up, Yuan Qing spent a long time replaying his previous dream experience before following Lin Xiao's instructions and walking up the mountain path.

Then he encountered a barrier, and all that was in front of him was a thick white fog, making it impossible to see what lay ahead.

He was originally worried about how to continue his search for Fellow Daoist Lin, but suddenly he saw a demon chicken, half the height of a person, emerge from the white mist.

Their cultivation level seemed to be higher than mine.

Unexpectedly, Demon Beast would appear in the Mortal Realm, an area inhabited by humans.

Yuan Qing immediately became extremely vigilant and reached for the Storage Bag at his waist.

He didn't sense any malice from the demonic chicken, so he didn't immediately draw his weapon.

Unexpectedly, after seeing him, the demon chicken seemed to be confirming something, quickly scanning him up and down with its gaze. Then, after clucking a few times, it darted back into the white mist behind it.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing was taken aback.

Then it dawned on me that the direction I was heading seemed to be beyond this white mist.

Since this demonic chicken came out of there, then could it be...?

Could this demonic chicken belong to Fellow Daoist Lin's sect?

That's hard to say, after all, there are cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm who study the art of beast taming, but their numbers are not very large.

Having failed to see the demonic chicken return, and having no other options, Yuan Qing could only stand there, looking around and waiting.

However, not long after, he saw Lin Xiao emerge from the white mist.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Yuan Qing quickly waved his hand:

"No, no."

Because he's been too busy lately, Lin Xiao didn't waste any words and went straight to him:

"How is it? Having passed the Heart-Questioning Road, I believe your mind should be clearer now. Do you still wish to join my Lingxian Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing nodded firmly:

"Yes, please allow me to join the Lingxian Sect and become your disciple."

And so, at the end of the Heart-Questioning Road, after the two went through the process once again, the number of disciples of the Lingxian Sect increased once more.

After the process was completed, Lin Xiao took out one of the ordinary disciple's identity tokens from his private treasury, which he had kept on him as a backup, and handed it to him, saying:

"From now on, you are formal disciple of our Lingxian Sect. This is your identity token. Simply place it against your forehead and connect with it using your Divine Sense. Unless you leave the sect, the connection with this identity token will never be severed."

Yuan Qing took his identity token and looked at the words ' Lingxian Sect Disciple' on the front with some curiosity. Then, as Lin Xiao had instructed, he established a connection with his identity token.

Then Lin Xiao turned to the side and opened his right arm to him, saying:

Welcome to the Lingxian Sect.

The next moment, Yuan Qing watched as the white mist in front of him gradually dissipated, revealing the scene behind him.
