Core Cultivation Method Synthesis

Since the system showed that the third slot was complete, he wouldn't worry about it!

His gaze moved to the fourth slot. Looking at the lone question mark inside, Lin Xiao rubbed his bare chin.

Should I just grab something and put it in to try?

The core of the cultivation method was chosen so casually anyway... so it probably didn't matter for this one either, right?

As he pondered, his gaze turned to the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree, which had just begun to bloom.

Then he casually plucked a peach blossom and put it into the fourth slot.

It turned green!

[Core cultivation method materials complete. Beginning synthesis. Please wait.]

Full of anticipation, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the dirt floor of the grass shelter.

If his pants got dirty, so be it. He washed them himself anyway.

The system was efficient. When it said to wait a moment, it meant a moment, and it didn't keep Lin Xiao waiting long.

[Core cultivation method "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction" successfully synthesized. Rating: A-grade. Set as the sect's core cultivation method? (Note: It can be changed.)]

It was actually A-grade! If there was an A-grade, then there had to be an S above it and a B below it.

Set it as the sect's core cultivation method... did that even need asking? His sect had nothing at all right now. An A-grade core cultivation method wasn't the best, but if it reached A-grade, it surely wasn't bad! Besides, he could change it later, so of course Lin Xiao chose yes.

[Core cultivation method "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction" has been delivered to the private storage. Please check it.]

Seeing the core cultivation method in his private storage, Lin Xiao, who had originally planned to find Fuzi as soon as he finished making it, remained firmly seated on the dirt.

First, let me have a good look at what this core cultivation method is like...

Lin Xiao took the "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction" out of private storage and opened it with great anticipation.

A faint fragrance wafted from the pages.

The first line at the beginning met his eyes:

"The myriad forms drift in the mists, their momentum a void upon void. Follow them, and meet in the Peach Blossom Spring..."

The words seemed to weigh a thousand jin, each one striking into Lin Xiao's eyes and heart.

He felt as if his head had suffered a heavy blow, leaving it ringing. Then, clear Qi brushed his face, sweeping away all the heaviness.

Lin Xiao let out a long breath.

As expected of an A-grade Cultivation Method.

He couldn't understand it.

If someone had to cultivate according to content like this...

He hurriedly flipped through the following pages.

Mm, luckily, what came later all looked like more practical content teaching people how to cultivate.

It seemed the opening was probably something like the core philosophy of the Cultivation Method, meant for cultivators to contemplate.

Lin Xiao began studying the rest carefully.

After reading for quite a while, he finally closed the "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction."

To be fair, it was a little dry.

Moreover, he had just tried to draw Qi into his body using the method it taught.

He hadn't succeeded.

And he could clearly feel that he still had a long way to go before succeeding.

Sitting on the ground with his chin propped on one hand, Lin Xiao fell into thought.

He had a sect to build, so he would definitely have piles and piles of crap to deal with in the future.

Where would he find that much time to cultivate?

But as the master of a sect, without a cultivation level higher than everyone else's, how could he win their respect (crush them)!

Lin Xiao rubbed his smooth chin.

He already had a golden finger, so did he, the sect master, really have no shortcut to cultivation?

[Ding-host has successfully unlocked the [Cultivation] function. Please check how to use it.]

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curved up.

This system was so cute. It unlocked whatever function he thought of, and anything he hadn't thought of, it resolutely refrained from unlocking at random and disrupting his train of thought.

He opened the [Cultivation] function and saw his cultivation panel:

[Host: Lin Xiao (idle cultivation not activated)]

[Gender: male]

[Bone age: 12 years]

[Aptitude: a dragon or phoenix among men]

[Cultivation: 1/100 (mortal-drawing Qi into the body)]

[Core cultivation method: "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction"]

[Cultivation Method: none]

Seeing the aptitude field, Lin Xiao raised his brows in satisfaction.

Tsk, who didn't like being called a dragon or phoenix among men?

However, he hadn't seen the "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" or the Single Spirit Roots, Dual Spirit Roots, and mutated Spirit Roots common in immortal cultivation novels.

[Ding-would the host like to spend Spirit Stones to activate idle cultivation? (Note: During the Qi Refining Stage, each Spirit Stone provides 24 hours of idle cultivation.)]

Throughout the entire Qi Refining Stage, idle cultivation only cost one Spirit Stone a day!

Lin Xiao felt he had made a killing.

He immediately spent one Spirit Stone and set it running for 24 hours!

Those five Spirit Stones in his private storage were definitely nowhere near enough. He still had to find a way to earn more...

Given how isolated Xiushui Village currently was, he could forget about getting in touch with this world's Immortal Cultivation Realm for the time being.

He could only see whether he could obtain Spirit Stones from the system.

He didn't know what the reward for each mission would be. If only the system could exchange things for them or something...

[Ding-congratulations, host, on successfully unlocking the [Shop]. The host may exchange supplies in the shop.]

Lin Xiao smiled.

What a thoughtful little system.

[Ding-a new mission has been issued: Basic infrastructure alone is far from enough for an outstanding sect. The most important thing for a sect, of course, is to have lots and lots of outstanding members. [Member Mission (1)]-please recruit one member as soon as possible.]

After receiving the mission, Lin Xiao finally stood up and dusted off his backside.

Since he had successfully unlocked the [Shop], there was no rush to check it.

He didn't have anything to exchange right now anyway.

It was more important to hurry down the mountain and bring the little fatty up to join the sect.

The sooner Fuzi could start cultivating, the better. After all, unlike Lin Xiao, he couldn't cultivate while idle.

Besides, even with his aptitude as a dragon or phoenix among men, Lin Xiao had found that drawing Qi into his body didn't go very smoothly. He didn't know what Fuzi's aptitude was like, but if it was too low, cultivation would only take more time.

As Lin Xiao thought about it, he couldn't help quickening his pace down the mountain.

By now, it was around three or four in the afternoon.

In the Jiang Household's little courtyard, only Jiang Youfu was there, cleaning the rabbit hutch.

The rabbits reproduced quickly, but they stank to high heaven. Still, it was thanks to those rabbits that he had been raised with all that fat on him.

Even after wrapping a rag around his face twice, he could still smell the stink of the rabbit hutch.

He was still wondering why Brother Xiao hadn't come to find him yet.

"Fuzi! It's done!" A very familiar voice called to him from outside the courtyard.

Jiang Youfu turned in pleasant surprise and saw Lin Xiao waving to him from outside the fence.

Before he could toss aside the broom and race out the door, Grandma Jiang poked her head out from the doorway of the main room and said kindly to Lin Xiao:

"Brother Xiao, you're here! Fuzi still has to clean the rabbit hutch. Come in and sit for a while. Once he's finished, you two can go play."

Lin Xiao waved to Grandma Jiang as well.

"Hello, Grandma Jiang."

Grandma Jiang smiled, her eyes narrowing and the wrinkles on both sides of her face blooming like flowers.

"Hello, hello! Come in and sit down, Brother Xiao. Grandma has some candy for you."

As soon as Lin Xiao entered the courtyard, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up another broom leaning against the courtyard wall.

"No need, no need. Please save the candy for my eldest nephew."

With that, he began cleaning the rabbit hutch alongside Jiang Youfu.
