Appraisal Function Unlocked

Lin Xiao, standing in the darkness, looked at the old man lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, and hesitated.

How can he talk to this old man without startling him...?

After all, it was late at night, pitch black, and if he suddenly made a sound, he was afraid of scaring someone badly.

After hesitating for a moment and not being able to think of a good solution, he had no choice but to raise his index finger and use the Fire Control Technique he had recently learned to ignite a small flame at his fingertip.

Lin Xiao thought that this might lessen the shock that Village Chief Du would experience.

So he moved closer to the bed and whispered:

"Village Chief Du, Village Chief Du, don't be afraid, I am Lin Xiao."

Village Chief Du, who was resting with his eyes closed, was startled by the sudden voice, but calmed down a bit when he heard the name ' Lin Xiao '.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a small flame burning in the darkness, and next to it was Lin Xiao's face.

Village Chief Du clutched his pounding heart.

"You... you... you... you... you... this... this?"

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed:

"Village chief, don't be nervous! I'm Lin Xiao! Alive! A living, breathing person, you can touch me if you don't believe me."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao quickly reached out and grasped Village Chief Du's hand.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's warm hand grasped his, and Village Chief Du calmed his racing heart, asking:

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao? What are you doing, breaking into my house so late at night...?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the small flame on Lin Xiao's fingertip, his eyes filled with surprise.

Lin Xiao quickly said:

"To tell you the truth, Village Chief, I'm now cultivating on the mountain, a proper cultivator. The sect I built on the mountain is also a legitimate cultivation sect, just like the Shangyang Sect that recruited disciples in town before."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Du nodded knowingly.

Sure enough, he had guessed it back when Boss Liu was involved: Lin Xiao was probably really cultivating immortality.

I never expected this kid to be so amazing...

Village Chief Du glanced at the small flame on his fingertip again.

Lin Xiao didn't mind and quickly explained his purpose:

"Village Chief, you may not believe it, but I have to tell you. I'm going on a long trip soon, and a few days ago when I went with my family to the Grave Mountain for Qingming Festival, I sensed something strange there. I can't quite put my finger on it, but with my current cultivation level, I have a feeling that it might be a dangerous aura!"

Therefore, for the safety of everyone in the village, if anything happens in the village, you can take the villagers to the mountainside of North Mountain and go to our Lingxian Sect. We should be able to guarantee everyone's safety there."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Du frowned, but being an experienced village chief with decades of life experience, he remained calm and simply asked Lin Xiao:

"Our Xiushui Village has been inhabited for generations, and apart from occasional droughts, we've never faced any major dangers. Brother Xiao, are you confident about what you're saying?"

Lin Xiao decisively shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure. After all, I can't always rely on intuition, so I only came to tell you, just in case."

I don't know what Village Chief Du was thinking, but he smiled and nodded to Lin Xiao:

"Good child, it's kind of you to think of the village. Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll do my best to guide the villagers up the mountain."

Lin Xiao delivered the message, and regardless of what the village chief was thinking, he had done his best. So Lin Xiao said goodbye to the Village Chief Du and left the Du family.

But he still didn't go home. After thinking for a while, he headed towards the home of Hu Deli Clan Leader Hu, who seemed more reliable and had a stronger influence.

While he couldn't provide Teleportation Talisman for the entire village, he could at least help them make some preparations beforehand.

This is the village where he grew up for more than ten years, and he hopes that everyone is doing well.

And so, the night passed.

The next day arrived.

Today is the day Lin Xiao decided to depart.

Lin Xiao specially brought his own large cooking pot and set up a simple stove next to the thatched shed, asking Yang Jinshu to help steam a large pot of fragrant spirit rice.

He also went to the Mountain Stream and used a newly created Law Technique, "Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare," level one— Every Thread in Place —to catch more than a dozen large fish.

The first stage of this Law Technique, simply put, is to use Spiritual Power as a medium to control intangible things (such as air and water) to solidify into threads, forming a ring to lock onto the target.

Fish: Using Law Technique to catch fish! That's unethical!

Everyone in the sect finished their cultivation early today and squatted by the stove waiting for dinner.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xiao changed the sect's defensive barrier entry permissions, making it accessible to everyone in Xiushui Village.

Anyway, now that everyone in the sect has cultivation, and some have even reached the Third Layer of Qi Refining, plus everyone has learned some Law Technique, Lin Xiao isn't worried about the villagers causing trouble if they actually come in.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Lin Xiao's mind:

[Ding--Congratulations! Your sect reputation has reached 50, successfully unlocking the item appraisal function. Friendly reminder: The item appraisal function can only be used when items are stored in the host's private vault.]

!

Authentication function!

Lin Xiao was overjoyed; the items in his private stash could finally be appraised!

Moreover, this way, he won't need to guess the function of things he acquires in the future.

Lin Xiao immediately greeted the people chatting and waiting for food near the thatched hut, and then went to sit down under the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree by himself.

He opened his private database and was going to authenticate each item whose function he didn't understand!

First and foremost are the Mist Spring Grass seeds that I obtained long ago!

Lin Xiao clicked on the Mist Spring Grass seeds in his private inventory, and saw a line of small text displayed next to them:

[Mist Spring Grass seeds can be grown into Mist Spring Grass, with a maturation cycle of three seasons]

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Why didn't you tell him what Mist Spring Grass * is used for?

He immediately realized that these were seeds, not the Mist Spring Grass *.

For a moment, Lin Xiao had so many complaints that he didn't know where to begin.

In this way, all the seeds in the private repository can be skipped.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then tapped the First-Tier Spirit Vein Fragment again.

[First-Tier Spirit Vein Fragment; three fragments can be combined to form a Initial-Tier Spirit Vein]

Upon seeing this line of small print, Lin Xiao was overjoyed; three fragments could be combined to form a Initial-Tier Spirit Vein!

He already has two, meaning that he only needs one more for his sect to have its own Spirit Vein.

Lin Xiao suppressed his excitement and pointed to his own sect uniform in his private treasury.

We're about to enter the secret realm, so it's definitely best to wear your gear when going into the dungeon.

But so far, of all the items he owns, apart from the dagger he bought earlier, this sect uniform is the one that most resembles equipment.

Therefore, Lin Xiao was very curious to know if this sect uniform had any attributes.
