Who's a Demonic Cultivator?
Lin Xiao spent the entire night in a mental storm. Given his current level of Divine Sense strength, the complexity and scale of such a mental storm are unimaginable.
When the Lock Ring clock rang, he felt somewhat dazed, as if he had been immersed in a vast and tranquil universe for a very long time.
When he came to his senses and saw the morning light outside, and heard the birds chirping in the early morning, it took him a long time to feel a sense of returning to reality.
The Origin Qi of heaven and earth appeared from the the Unseen, like a sudden enlightenment. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao felt his cultivation level surge, directly breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Lin Xiao looked at his palm.
This is somewhat similar to enlightenment, yet also different.
The feeling of sudden enlightenment is more like glimpsing a trace of the Great Dao, with the Heavenly Dao giving feedback. This time, Lin Xiao felt as if he had been brought into a realm he had never truly understood before, receiving a bit of the gift from that vast, sealed realm.
Within that realm, there are still vast areas waiting for him to explore.
Coming to this bookstore to study was definitely the right decision; I've really learned a lot.
Seeing that there was still some time before he returned to the courtyard to teach the people of East Village, Lin Xiao quickly used his Lock Ring to send a call request to Liao Pantu.
As the morning dew first appeared, it was the time when Senior Liao was at his most energetic in the research room.
The call was answered quickly, but the tone on the other end wasn't very friendly.
"Sending a message so early, you better be in trouble!" Liao Pantu's displeased voice came from the Lock Ring.
"Senior Liao, I really made the right choice coming to Great Wind Valley!" Lin Xiao shared with him with great joy.
"It's not like you went there voluntarily," Liao Pantu retorted mercilessly.
"That's not important," Lin Xiao said. "I found something good here!"
He briefly described what he had read and learned in the library.
"So I plan to study here for a while," he said.
"And then, while you're at it, teach those people how to cultivate, so that they might be able to leave on their own in the future?" Liao Pantu asked.
"That's right, it's not good to learn from others for nothing," Lin Xiao replied.
"Are you still looking for the location of your sect's headquarters?" Liao Pantu asked again.
"Of course I'll look for it. I ran into a friend before, and he gave me an address... Anyway, I think I have a good idea of the location. I'll focus on my cultivation and studies as soon as possible. I'll trouble you to take care of things for me, senior," Lin Xiao said.
On the other end of the Lock Ring, Liao Pantu curled his lip. If he didn't take care of it, could he really expect this sect leader, who disappeared as soon as he went out, to take care of it?
"Did you know that Mo Yuanjiao's group was planning to set up a fake base?" Liao Pantu asked, recalling what Mo Yuanjiao and his group had told him before.
"I know, I took some time to read his previous message to me," Lin Xiao said. "It's precisely because things seemed good over there that I felt comfortable having this idea."
"Alright, then do what you think is best." Liao Pantu didn't care. Everything in their sect was developing steadily. Anyway, the sect leader wasn't coming back for the time being, so let him do whatever he wanted in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Lin Xiao, "Actually, if you want them to come out, you don't necessarily have to cultivate them all to the Spirit Transformation Stage, do you?"
Lin Xiao:?
"Please elaborate?"
"Have you ever thought that if they all became soul cultivators, they could separate their souls from their bodies and attach them to the Soul-Nourishing Wood? Then you could separate their souls from their bodies and take them out. The bodies without souls can be stored in Storage Bag," said Soul Cultivator Liao Pantu.
Lin Xiao:?
"It's not that urgent..." Lin Xiao scratched the side of his face. "Their heritage doesn't have specific records of soul cultivation, but it does have some general introductions to evil and heretical paths as a warning. I'm afraid that if they suddenly bring this up, they'll think I'm some kind of evil or heretical person."
"Who's heretical and evil?" Liao Pantu squinted.
Lin Xiao quickly explained, "It's not that I'm saying you're some kind of evil or heretical person. It's just that the people of Great Wind Valley are too ignorant, and I was afraid they'd misunderstand."
"Hmph, anyway, it was just a suggestion," Liao Pantu muttered discontentedly. "Soul cultivation is actually quite good; you people just don't understand."
"By the way, senior, would you like to take a look? I'll send you some classic texts." Lin Xiao changed the subject.
When Lin Xiao had previously told Dong Que that he could study the books in the library, he also mentioned that he wanted to let his own family members see them as well, and Dong Que readily agreed.
Liao Pantu then said, "Go ahead and send it. I'll take a look when I have time."
So Lin Xiao sent over the first copy he had.
After finishing, he got up and left the library to give cultivation lessons to the people of East Village.
When he returned to East Village, he saw Dong Que and a few others waiting outside his courtyard gate, talking about something, even though he was still a long way from his own courtyard.
"Why aren't you going in?" Lin Xiao asked as he approached them.
Upon seeing him, Dong Que's face lit up with joy. "Mr. Lin! You're back."
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Lin Xiao asked, "Is something the matter?"
Dong Que nodded repeatedly. "There is something I would like to ask for your opinion on, Master... Our cultivation yesterday was very effective, and we would like to invite the other people in the village who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm to come and learn with you. I would like to ask if this is acceptable?"
"What's wrong with that?" Lin Xiao pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in. "I said before that I could teach the villagers. Call anyone you can."
Whether he herds a few sheep or a whole flock, it makes no difference to him.
Moreover, after meeting them yesterday, he felt that these people from East Village were quite talented and not too difficult to teach.
Having received his approval, Dong Que and the others were overjoyed and immediately went off to find the person.
Watching them leave, Lin Xiao really wanted to ask why they didn't just use telepathy?
Then he thought of the lack of basic Law Technique in their tradition. He didn't ask, but silently thought that he could teach them some basic Law Technique when he had time, so that their daily lives would be more convenient, and they wouldn't have to ask someone to come over in person.
Dong Que and the others returned quickly, followed by a string of East Village Foundation Establishment Realm villagers from Dong Village.
The courtyard was packed with people. When there was no more room to sit, they sat under the eaves and in the main room. Except for Lin Xiao's bedroom, all the surrounding rooms were opened up to accommodate people.
However, this was just a minor situation for Lin Xiao.
Previously, their sect's large classroom on Azure Cloud Peak had hundreds of people every day.
And so, the people of East Village became completely absorbed in their cultivation every day, while Lin Xiao spent his days immersed in the study of Great Wind Valley, oblivious to everything else.
A few days later, he even started experimenting with various alchemy, weapon crafting, array engraving, and talisman drawing methods from the books in the library in his room late at night.
Sometimes I get so engrossed in my own world that I forget to take care of myself.
As a result, in the eyes of the people of East Village, Mr. Lin gradually became unkempt.
