Two Pieces of News
Back on the floating island, Lin Xiao finally had two days to properly cultivate.
While Liao Pantu hadn't made any moves yet, Qin Jianghe had already brought back the 100,000 Spirit Stone borrowed from the Yuan Household.
Lin Xiao immediately took the Spirit Stone and went to the System Store to buy the Spirit Dike Turtle Shell.
Fortunately, the items he bought in the mall were automatically added to his private treasury; otherwise, the size of the tortoise shell would have burst his little bamboo house.
Because he would later need to use the system's building synthesis function to combine the tortoise shell formation with the city planning map, Lin Xiao didn't spend as much time as Everbright Mountain did studying how to integrate and match them.
Instead, they created each type of large-scale formation separately.
This way it's easier.
He desperately needs time to cultivate right now; every little bit saved counts.
A month later, Lin Xiao emerged from the Formation Hall having completed the creation of various arrays.
However, there was still no news of Senior Liao from Everbright.
Fortunately, the other individual cemetery spaces inside are still accessible, so visitors can still pay their respects to their loved ones.
Over the past month, the Xiushui Town at the foot of the mountain has been completely completed, and the villagers have begun to prepare for the Lunar New Year by buying goods.
The disciples of the Lingxian Sect have also made progress in their Cultivation Method.
Most of the Cultivation Method already have disciples who are proficient in the first or even second level, which has alleviated the pressure on the Teaching and Research Group to some extent.
Qin Jianghe and Liu Yunan further refined the detailed rules regarding the establishment and subsequent management of the Trade Center.
They also contacted the Li Imperial Clan and made initial contact with some relatively reliable sects through the Li Clan.
Some were from the Pusi Kingdom itself, while others came from surrounding countries.
A few days ago, Lin Yun successfully broke through from the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to the Golden Core Realm, becoming a Golden Core cultivator.
After consolidating his cultivation level, he saw the Sound Transmission Talisman left by Lin Xiao. He immediately went to find Lin Xiao, but his younger brother had locked him in the Formation Hall again, so he didn't bother him.
Anyway, he knew that as long as Lin Xiao came out, he would definitely not miss dinner.
So on the night Lin Xiao was released, the two brothers finally met at the dinner table.
So Lin Xiao directly asked Lin Yun for his opinion at the dinner table, which was tantamount to announcing the appointment to everyone.
Lin Yun, of course, could not refuse his younger brother's request.
The others had no doubts about Lin Xiao's decision. Among the younger generation, Lin Yun was capable and hardworking, and most importantly, he was very steady and reliable, making him the perfect person to manage the Trade Center.
The elders had no intention of competing with these younger generations; for them, watching these children grow up little by little brought them more joy than anything else.
With Lin Yun confirmed as the manager of the Trade Center, he will need to be more involved in many aspects of the Trade Center's operations.
Therefore, Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe's two-person discussion group, together with Lin Yun, became a three-person group.
Of course, other members of the sect would offer suggestions during the dinner table, but the main responsibility still rested with the three of them.
Lin Xiao stopped asking questions and only provided technical support.
With things mostly settled recently, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to focus on his cultivation.
That night, he set up a Spirit Gathering Formation in his room and began to meditate, but unexpectedly, the system notification sounded.
[Ding--Congratulations, host! The Spirit-Rich Mountain facility within the sect has successfully nurtured First-Tier Spirit Vein. The Yaoguang Floating Island has been upgraded by one level. After the upgrade, the island's volume has increased, the concentration of agility factors within the island has increased, and the soil quality has improved, providing a better growing environment for high-level Spirit Plant and a better cultivation space for cultivators.]
[Ding--Congratulations, host, on successfully obtaining a sect-generated Spirit Vein. Your future is promising. This reward is issued as encouragement and has been deposited into your private treasury. Please check your account.]
Lin Xiao was quite surprised to receive two messages in quick succession.
No wonder he suddenly felt the Spiritual Qi around him become much denser, and he was just about to cultivate. It turns out that Spirit-Rich Mountain had spontaneously nurtured First-Tier Spirit Vein!
Consider that Spirit-Rich Mountain went from having very little Spiritual Qi to being able to produce its own Spirit Vein in just a few years.
If this rate of increase continues, does it mean that it can quickly rise from the concentration of First-Tier Spirit Vein to Second-Tier Spirit Vein, Third-Tier Spirit Vein, or even higher level?
Who knows when their Lingxian Sect might become a sacred place with even more abundant Spiritual Qi than the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
While I'm happy, I still need to see the reward.
Lin Xiao opened his private vault to check what rewards the system had just distributed.
This is the first reward he's received since the system update.
Oh, the one from when Yigao broke through doesn't count, because that was for Yigao personally, and that should be no different from the system version, since it follows the cultivation method.
But this time was different; he had a feeling that the rewards might be increased after the system update.
Sure enough, when Lin Xiao saw the name of the new item that had appeared in his private vault, his heart skipped a beat.
[Tianquan Floating Island Token]
Authentication Details: The Tianquan Floating Island Token can directly summon the Tianquan Floating Island Tianquan Floating Island grant ownership of it. After use, the control functions of the Tianquan Floating Island will be integrated into the system's floating island control panel, and these functions can be copied from the system for use. Note: Control can be delegated; ownership of the Tianquan Floating Island belongs solely to the Lingxian Sect Master.
This time it wasn't a fragment, but a whole token that could summon a floating island!
Lin Xiao was overjoyed.
But then came the worry.
To be honest, their sect doesn't really lack territory anymore.
Many of the old hilltops and valleys in North Mountain are still empty.
Moreover, Yaoguang Floating Island has just been upgraded, and its size has increased somewhat.
Here comes another floating island.
The Lingxian Sect has more than one or two hundred people; they simply can't fill that many.
This time, Lin Xiao didn't summon the floating island with the same excitement as before and start setting it up with great enthusiasm. Instead, he chose to let it gather dust in his private treasury for the time being.
Let's talk about it when their sect has more members.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough for one or two hundred people to occupy a mountain range and a floating island, so why add another floating island? This just doesn't seem quite right.
The system beeped twice, and their sect gained another First-Tier Spirit Vein and a floating island. Lin Xiao was satisfied and began to meditate and concentrate on his cultivation.
Only when one's cultivation level is high can one do more of what one wants without being so constrained.

Han Weishu's letter, delivered by the courier at breakneck speed, finally reached her father, Sect Leader Han, a month later.
In fact, the letter arrived in Ox Head Village eight days ago.
He personally delivered Tong Jialiang's letter to his uncle and aunt.
