A Fitting Day to Relocate Graves
Judging from the waiter's tone, a performance had already been arranged for a while. Clearly, no matter where the storyteller was, there wouldn't be any stories to hear today.
He Yi regretfully got up and left the private room.
As he passed the waiter, he tossed him a silver ingot before leaving the teahouse.
This silver ingot is worth far more than the cost of tea in the private room.
Moreover, this unfamiliar customer is incredibly generous with his money every single day.
"Please take care, sir!" Holding the beautiful silver ingot in his hand, the waiter smiled and ran off to settle the bill with the manager.
In fact, He Yi had listened to almost all the stories of the Lingxian Sect while spending time in teahouses these past few days.
Storytellers typically repeat a section of a story many times before moving on to the next part.
But He Yi give money, and a lot of it at that.
So the storyteller abandoned his usual style of rehashing old stories and told the entire story of the Lingxian Sect over several days.
After all, what storytellers in teahouses talk about are basically things that ordinary people know. As for the internal affairs of sects, although storytellers occasionally mention them, He Yi tell from their ambiguous writing style that they are probably made up by the storytellers themselves.
Therefore, it doesn't take too long to explain it from beginning to end.
It was probably because the story had been told for the past few days, and the storyteller wanted to keep He Yi, this generous client, around, that he rushed to Xiushui Village to gather material for his storytelling.
Little did they know that this major client wasn't even willing to wait that short time.
He Yi decided to go to Xiushui Village on his own.
Now that we've heard enough of the story, it's time to go and see for ourselves.
As for the Shangyang Sect, which was said to have been stationed in Hufang Province for many years, he had little interest in it.
He had inquired about this sect, but it turned out to be just an ordinary Mortal Realm sect with little strength and a very boring atmosphere.
He already knew about how their sect had been overthrown and usurped by a Rogue Cultivator when he was still in the imperial city.
However, in that story, this sect was just a background element; the focus was on the sect called Lingxian Sect.
Therefore, I had no interest in going to the Shangyang Sect.
However, if there are no new discoveries or interesting things in Xiushui Village, he will still take a look around because of the direction of the Yin Qi he sensed earlier.
However, this is on the premise that the Lingxian Sect is uninteresting and has nothing to do with the direction of the Yin Qi.
While idly pondering these random thoughts, He Yi strolled leisurely toward Xiushui Village.
Although his steps seemed casual, he moved at a rapid pace, with pedestrians and buildings around him rushing past as if they were flying.
But the pedestrians on the road were completely unaware of this.

This day was chosen by the Lingxian Sect after consulting the almanac, as an auspicious day for breaking ground, burial, and relocation.
Yang Jinshu, Lin Dayou, and the rest of the people who had made the decision were already in place.
Furthermore, the disciples on Azure Cloud Peak had already been notified that if they had any relatives' graves they wished to relocate, they could be buried in Everbright Mountain.
Surprisingly, many disciples on Azure Cloud Peak were interested after hearing the news, and the next day they went to the General Affairs Hall to submit their applications to Elder Liu.
The reason they need to submit an application is that they need to leave the sect, and some disciples come from far away, not to mention some disciples whose hometowns are not even in the Pusi Kingdom.
If we let them go back and handle it themselves, not counting the time it would take to exhume the tomb, the round trip alone would take almost half a year.
Therefore, the sect decided to uniformly assign sect spirit ships to transport these disciples in need.
With the sect's spirit ships providing transportation, and Lin Xiao having made a simple process plan based on each destination, several spirit ships were able to transport disciples to different directions.
In this way, even disciples whose hometowns were far away could return to the sect within a few days.
Everyone arrived just before the auspicious day they had chosen.
Thus, the groundbreaking ceremony for Everbright Mountain officially began on this day.
When Lin Dayou brought his wife's wooden coffin into Everbright Mountain, his feelings were a mixture of excitement and complexity.
From now on, I can come and chat with my wife more often.
Although Lin Dayou moved Lin Xiao Xiao's mother's wooden coffin to Everbright Mountain, he actually erected a cenotaph for her at the original burial site.
After all, that's their family's ancestral grave. If they move the grave without even a cenotaph, it's like preventing their own daughter-in-law from entering the ancestral grave, which is inappropriate.
It was Lin Dayou's actions that made many of the original inhabitants of the Lingxian Sect Xiushui Village, who were already hesitant about moving their graves, finally decide to relocate.
In addition, there are many Azure Cloud Peak disciples who have left their hometowns, so the number of people participating in the groundbreaking ceremony at Everbright Mountain today is quite large.
When there are many people, the atmosphere easily becomes lively when everyone is gathered together.
After Lin Xiao, the sect leader, took the lead in digging the first shovel of soil at the entrance of Everbright Mountain, those who needed to relocate their graves entered their own independent spaces inside Everbright Mountain and began to personally bury their loved ones.
Several months have passed, and even the disciple with the lowest cultivation level on Azure Cloud Peak has a physical condition that is no longer what it used to be.
Digging a hole, erecting a tombstone, and making a grave all by himself is no big deal for him.
After all, the Tombstone Artifact Refining Hall had already started accepting orders for its production from the very beginning of the project.
Therefore, nowadays everyone in need has a tombstone made entirely to their own specifications.
Everything was extremely satisfactory to everyone.
After everyone had finished, the Lingxian Sect Sect's Spirit Cuisine Hall specially prepared a sumptuous meal for the day.
I don't know where the Spirit Cuisine Hall got so many long tables, and they were set up in several rows in front of the sect's main hall.
Each table was laden with a variety of dishes, from cold dishes to hot dishes, from all kinds of meat dishes to a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, encompassing virtually every ingredient that everyone present had ever eaten.
There are also all kinds of alcoholic beverages and fruit juices.
Clear or cloudy, red or yellow, the containers of iced drinks were covered with droplets of water, while the hot drinks were steaming with pale white vapor.
It looks so thirsty that you just want to go over and gulp it down.
Moreover, these diverse dishes look as if they have been carefully arranged, and each dish is a feast for the eyes just to look at.
This is the work of Ma Changlong, a disciple of Azure Cloud Peak who now works at the Spirit Cuisine Hall.
As a connoisseur, he has a multifaceted understanding of food. Seeing Elder Jiang personally cook so many delicious dishes, he volunteered to be in charge of plating in order to bring out the "beauty" of the food even more fully.
As expected of an expert, you can tell their skill the moment they make a move.
After Ma Changlong completed his table setting masterpiece, the other Azure Cloud Peak disciples who worked in the Spirit Cuisine Hall with him were full of praise.
The already tempting food looked even more mouthwatering.
Jiang Youfu saw it and happily praised it a few times.
He felt that this Grandpa Ma had opened up a new avenue for his thinking about food.
