Heading Out

So he had no choice but to turn this hobby into planting herbs and collecting Pill Formula.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have planted such a large medicinal herb field in the Green Field Mystic Realm in the first place.

Now, he has unexpectedly encountered a promising talent for alchemy, Sun Yigao, who is only at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer. Under his guidance, he has only refined two batches of pills and has already produced a mid-grade pill!

Although it wasn't a particularly rare elixir, it was just a fairly standard detoxifying pill.

But this also shows his amazing talent!

Liao Pantu was increasingly pleased with this young man and really wanted to take him on as his apprentice...

It's a pity he's already Lin Xiao's disciple.

Thinking of Lin Xiao, Liao Pantu and sighed.

Sigh, that kid.

But then he wondered if they would accept something like a second master...?

When the group arrived at the Sun Household, they were warmly received by Landlord Sun and Auntie Sun.

Liao Pantu did not come along.

After all, his appearance was too frightening, and he couldn't walk around the village recklessly.

Everyone crowded into Sun Yigao's room, and seeing that Sun Yigao seemed to be in relatively good spirits, they chatted amongst themselves.

Lin Xiao lightly pressed his fist against his left chest and said:

"Good brother, I won't say much more about thanks. Once you've recovered, let's go up the mountain for a barbecue!"

Sun Yigao smiled weakly and said:

"Good."

Jiang Youfu gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Yigao, you're this one! Brother Xiao is my eldest brother, and from now on you'll be my second brother!"

Tietou nodded repeatedly from the side:

Me too!

Looking at the people gathered around his bed, Sun Yigao felt a surge of strength flowing into his weakened body. He smiled and nodded to everyone, then said to Lin Xiao:

"Brother Xiao, the imperial examinations are starting next month, and I plan to participate."

Upon hearing this, everyone was quite surprised and exclaimed:

"We're already cultivating immortality, why would you still need to take an exam?"

Now everyone in the sect has entered the Qi Refining Stage, and even the slowest Tietou, has reached the Qi Refining Second Layer. Everyone has learned some Law Technique and is gradually experiencing the wonders of being a cultivator.

Therefore, no one understood why he didn't focus on cultivating his skills, but instead planned to spend a lot of time participating in the imperial examination.

Lin Xiao wasn't very surprised to hear his plan. If he had studied for so many years since childhood, he would definitely want to take the exam to see how he did, as a way of giving himself an explanation for all the years of hard work.

He nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Okay, but you need to be careful when you're reviewing, don't overwork yourself."

Sun Yigao smiled and explained to everyone:

"After all these years of hard study, I just want to give it a try and see how well I can do. Don't worry, I'll come back and continue studying with you all as soon as the exam is over."

Although he spends his days cultivating on the mountain, he still picks up his books when he gets home at night. These books have been his mentors and friends for the past ten years.

Qin Jianghe, who was standing to the side, immediately said:

"Of course, of course! You've studied for so many years, the whole village has seen it, and we're all curious to see how you'll do on the exam!"

Then, he changed the subject and said to Lin Xiao:

"Brother Xiao, I'm also planning to go out and see if I can open up some avenues for revenue for our sect!"

These days, he has witnessed all the things Lin Xiao has done for the sect. Almost all the changes in the sect are the result of Lin Xiao's efforts alone.

Even for the safety of the village, he went to face such a huge monster all by himself. He thought that he couldn't let Brother Xiao suffer so much, and he had to share the burden with him.

Hearing him say that, Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised. He looked at Qin Jianghe and said:

"Have you come up with an idea?"

Qin Jianghe scratched his head and chuckled:

"It's nothing much. I just plan to travel around a few towns near ours first, learn how to do teeth cleaning business like you do, and once I've earned some money, I'll go to the county or prefecture to see if I can use it for some kind of business."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. He was indeed somewhat overwhelmed with other matters at the moment, and it would be best if everyone could contribute to the sect's development. Therefore, he would naturally not refuse their suggestions. So he said:

"That's fine, but it will interfere with your cultivation. Are you planning to go out by yourself, or find someone to go with you?"

"Hey, sharpening the axe doesn't make the work of chopping wood easier, right? I'm planning to ask my two brothers from my maternal uncle's side to come along and help me out. Once I've got the business running smoothly, I'll just dump everything and become a hands-off boss, hehe."

Qin Jianghe is quite confident that he can make money.

"But Brother Xiao, this means I'll inevitably have to expose our sect to my two cousins. But don't worry, they're both honest men! They won't tattle on anyone."

Lin Xiao nodded and said:

"It's alright. If you think it's appropriate, you can also bring them into our sect and make them your disciples."

"But since you're traveling, even though we're very far from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there might be cultivators coming to the Mortal Realm, or even demons. In any case, you must be careful about your safety."

As he spoke, he turned to Sun Yigao and Qin Jianghe and said:

I've prepared some things for you two to use when you go out these next couple of days.

He planned to research whether he could make some self-defense items for them to carry, and also prepare some other items that they might need.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding--The host has automatically activated the function of delegating the authority to recruit disciples. This function allows the host to modify the authority to recruit disciples. Friendly reminder: Those who have not obtained the qualification of a sect disciple cannot cultivate the sect's cultivation method.]

Upon receiving this message, Lin Xiao thought, "The system is quite conscious of copyright."

The others, who had been quiet nearby, started teasing Qin Jianghe after they finished talking, and then they all climbed onto his shoulders.

"Fine, Jianghe! You're not getting married and you're going to make your own way in the world?"

If you see anything delicious while you're out, remember to bring some back for me!

"Mine too! Mine too!"

Despite Liu Yunan playful banter, seeing how much Qin Jianghe cared for and worked for the sect, they began to think about what they could do for the sect in return.

Needless to say, Sun Yigao was the one who personally taught almost everyone in their sect, except for Aunt Yang who taught Liu Shengsheng.

The teenagers were still laughing and joking on the surface, but they had already begun to think things through.

They also wanted to contribute to the sect.

By the time everyone left the Sun Household, it was already dusk.

The warm glow of the setting sun illuminated Xiushui Village, making the entire village seem to radiate a rosy glow.
