Packed Tight

Although Lin Xiao wanted to lead everyone to cultivate immortality peacefully, it was clear that true peace did not exist in this world.

It is indeed time to improve their sect's martial prowess.

Otherwise, it's unrealistic for their sect to want to grow bigger and stronger.

In this world where might makes right, to have a voice, you first need a strong enough fist.

The strong make the rules, and the weak obey them; this is the same everywhere.

The difference simply lies in the kind of environment that the powerful figures who set the rules desire.

Lin Xiao knew that their Lingxian Sect could not survive for long.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

The Lingxian Sect's various advantages, which set it apart from other sects in the Mortal Realm, are so great that they are coveted by many sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. As long as the Lingxian Sect maintains contact with the outside world, it cannot remain a secret for long.

Unless they don't care about complete closure.

But people don't live to lock themselves in a cage.

There is no such thing as the ideal day of "surviving until you are absolutely the strongest".

Because he is not alone.

And so many relatives and friends.

Are we supposed to lock everyone up in the mountains, training day and night, just to gamble on the day everyone achieves mastery?

If someone were to fall behind on this path of cultivation and pass away, Lin Xiao wondered if they would feel regret, regret for not being able to properly experience life, for not being able to properly see this world.

Therefore, he won't do that.

The road ahead in life is always unknown, and so is the road for everyone.

Therefore, he will do his best to protect everyone, but he will not confine them to the sect.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiao glanced into his private stash.

Looking around, it was filled with countless Cultivation Method Secret Manual.

He also made hundreds of copies of each of these manuals, ensuring that everyone had one.

His own belongings only took up a small corner.

When everyone in the sect sees that they have so many Cultivation Method to learn, they'll surely be very happy, right?

Whether people will be happy when they see the truth in the future is unknown, but Qin Jianghe is quite happy now.

"Brother Xiao, when does this training begin?" he asked expectantly.

Lin Xiao was very happy to see how expectant he was.

"Don't worry, once you've finished learning the Cultivation Method, I'll arrange it for you immediately!"

"When do we start learning? Can I learn it now?"

Lin Xiao comforted him:

"No rush, I'll make the arrangements in a couple of days after my older brother's wedding."

Then he spoke again:

"By the way, Jianghe, did you manage to buy those materials I listed last month? The most important one is the Spirit River Fertile Soil; you absolutely need that."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianghe nodded and said:

"I've almost bought all the other materials, and I've put them in the warehouse to give to you once I have everything. Although we haven't bought the Spirit River Fertile Soil yet, the Yuan Household has connections, and they said they can help us ship a batch back next month."

"Alright, let me know when you have everything. If I'm in seclusion in the Formation Hall, just let me know."

Once the wedding boat brought the bride and her family to Xiushui Village, the most lively wedding in Xiushui Village in over a hundred years officially began.

Everyone from the Lingxian Sect came down the mountain to visit the Lin Household.

The new disciples in the sect, although not from Xiushui Village and many of them perhaps not very familiar with Lin Lei, all mingled in the crowd to join in the fun.

This was also the first time many of them had descended the mountain since joining the sect.

However, because there were so many people in Xiushui Village today, and most of them didn't know these new disciples very well, there was no chaos.

Many disciples' relatives, because their own family members had entered the Lingxian Sect, also paid close attention to Xiushui Village. As soon as they heard that the Lin Household of Xiushui Village had a marriage proposal, they all came with the idea of joining in the fun and maybe running into their relatives who had entered the Lingxian Sect.

As a result, some of the disciples were able to meet with their families on this day.

However, although the people of Xiushui Village were not very familiar with the new disciples, they were very familiar with Lin Xiao and his group of local Xiushui Village residents.

Therefore, in order not to cause traffic congestion in Xiushui Village, they did not dare to wander around after descending the mountain. Instead, they used Teleportation Talisman or other movement skills such as the Cloud Soaring Technique to directly enter the Lin Household's old house and sit down at the tables arranged for them to wait for the meal to be served.

A banquet was set up outside the Lin Household's old residence to entertain outsiders.

Besides their own sect members, the banquet inside the mansion also invited the village chief and some respected elders from the village, as well as neighbors who had previously had a good relationship with the Lin Household.

In this way, the Lin Household's old house, which was not very big to begin with, was crammed full inside and out.

Eldest Uncle Lin and Eldest Uncle Lin's Wife greeted the guests at the gate of the courtyard. As people came to offer their congratulations one after another, their faces were filled with joy.

Firecrackers crackled and popped outside, while loud congratulatory shouts from guests coming and going echoed from outside the courtyard gate.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Lin Lei and his bride completed their wedding ceremony.

As dusk fell, the wedding banquet officially began.

All kinds of dishes don't need to be served; they just fly to the table one after another like flowing water.

The guests were all flushed with excitement, but they managed to restrain themselves.

The lively wedding banquet lasted until late at night.

Old Master Lin and the others will stay at the old house tonight.

Lin Lei and his wife were the same.

No matter what, this is their family's old house, and Old Master Lin felt that his eldest grandson's wedding ceremony should be held in the old house.

Therefore, Lin Xiao specially set up a defensive formation around the old Lin Household residence as a precaution.

After a satisfying meal, the long chat reminiscing about the past came to an end.

After seeing all the guests off, Lin Xiao and the others returned to their sect.

As for the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak, they had all been summoned back to the sect by Liu Yunan through the Lock Ring an hour ago.

Today is a rare day of celebration, so everyone in the sect has taken a day off without prior arrangement.

No matter how busy I am on weekdays, let's put that aside for now.

Most people did nothing else, lying in their own rooms on their beds—beds they hadn't had a proper rest in a long time—and sleeping soundly through the night.

However, Lin Xiao was not among these people.

The leader of a sect should not be taking a break now.

He still has a lot of things to do and plans.

The main problem is that he feels uneasy if he doesn't finish what he's already halfway through.

That night, while everyone else was fast asleep, Lin Xiao secluded himself in the small, dark room of the Formation Hall and pulled out a pile of array plates from his private treasury...

If Mo Yuanjiao saw these formations, he would probably find them somewhat familiar.

Because many of these formations are similar to some of the formations used in the Lock Ring that their Formation Hall has recently mass-produced.

But there are also many differences.
