Although there were three fruits, Lin Xiao was still reluctant to pick even one to add to his private collection for evaluation.
Despite his curiosity about the possible effects of the fruits from the Ten-Mile Peach Tree.
Yang Jinshu, who had just received the letter, took it out and handed it to Lin Xiao:
"Master Lin, this is a letter sent by the Clear River Sect's Sect Leader for you. Since Han Weishu has joined our sect, they also sent a gift to us."
Lin Xiao took the letter and nodded:
"Thank you, Aunt Yang. The gift can be registered and stored at the Financial Hall later."
After Yang Jinshu explained the method for opening the letter as described by Yu Jie, she took the large box sent by the Clear River Sect to the Financial Hall.
Lin Xiao opened the envelope and read the letter as he walked back.
He originally thought the letter would be a request for their sect to take good care of Han Weishu or something similar. Instead, it mentioned something that surprised him greatly.
"Sect Leader Lin, I hope this letter finds you well."
"It is well-known that your sect is renowned for its gentlemanly conduct. My daughter, Weishu, is fortunate to have entered your esteemed sect. I am very comforted by this, and I believe she will grow well in your sect. Thank you for the care you have given her."
"This letter is not to disturb you on behalf of my daughter. Instead, it is to discuss certain tacitly agreed matters among the sects of the mortal world. Considering the short time your sect has existed in the present world, I wonder if your sect's legacy is secure. Hence, this letter."
"This is a significant matter. If your sect's legacy might be interrupted or if there are any unclear points, I, Han Shangyi, as the Sect Leader of the Clear River Sect, sincerely invite you, Sect Leader Lin of Lingxian Sect, to meet and discuss this matter in detail on another day."
...
After quickly reading the letter, Lin Xiao pondered for a moment before lightly waving his wrist to completely destroy the letter with his spiritual power.
The content of the letter was not particularly clear, but its meaning was quite straightforward.
The 'tacitly agreed matters among sects of the mortal world' mentioned in the letter immediately reminded Lin Xiao of the events three years ago when the alliance army was quickly assembled in response to the invasion of the Huanyou Kingdom.
He remembered this point vividly, mainly because the actions of those sects and countries were unusually swift.
In Lin Xiao's view, matters involving multiple parties are usually the most prone to dragging on and being time-consuming.
Even though everyone despises the effects of the Jishi Stone, the response was still too quick.
From his brief visit to the alliance army base, he observed that the relationships between the sects were not very harmonious. The mutual aversion to the Jishi Stone alone would not be sufficient to achieve such a high degree of tacit agreement and rapid resolution of various issues.
However, if this was connected with Sect Leader Han's implied concerns...
Lin Xiao strolled along the green path, pondering deeply.
If their sect wanted to fully engage in business within the mortal and cultivation worlds, they needed to integrate as much as possible into the circles of the mortal world's sects.
It was evident that although Sect Leader Han's expression was polite, it was clear that their sect did not possess the so-called 'tacitly agreed legacy' like other sects. Hence, the special letter.
This was Sect Leader Han's goodwill towards their Lingxian Sect after various considerations.
Lin Xiao knew that to integrate into the sect circles of the mortal world for the long term, a meeting with Sect Leader Han was necessary.
"Ah, but there are so many things to deal with," he sighed deeply to himself. Fortunately, this matter was not urgent and could wait until he finished the ongoing projects.
With this thought, Lin Xiao headed towards the Formation Hall.
Recently, he had been researching a type of formation in his room, focusing on spatial formations.
This was not like the miniature spatial teleportation used in the Locking Ring but rather spatial expansion—creating a stable spatial structure with formations.
Of course, this created space was not as entirely independent as a small world; it was a closed small space constructed within the rules of this world.
Such formations are naturally not easy to create. Although Lin Xiao, having entered the Nascent Soul Realm, could glimpse some of the world's spatial laws, developing such a formation independently at his level was very challenging.
Naturally, he could skip this difficult step by using the system's synthesis function.
But Lin Xiao did not want to do that.
Things synthesized by the system could not be replicated by himself or by the sect's people.
If he ascends in the future or if the system suddenly disappears, wouldn't their sect lack serious research and creation abilities?
Relying entirely on external forces would never be a long-term solution.
Armed with the three plans he had meticulously designed over time, Lin Xiao delved into a small dark room in the Formation Hall.
He needed to design the plans beforehand instead of experimenting and designing simultaneously because the materials for this formation were relatively expensive.
Moreover, he would need to replicate many identical ones. Although the Financial Hall had supported him as much as possible, they could not provide unlimited resources, so material conservation was crucial.
Even a sect leader must learn to be frugal.
Meanwhile, in the alchemy room, Sun Yigao was flipping through a thick book.
Liao Panting was listing various medicinal materials he thought useful nearby.
"Master, look, if we use the root of this Floating Grass along with the pollen of the Heliotropium and base it on the formula for the Solid Spirit Pill, wouldn't it help repair the dantian?" Sun Yigao asked Liao Panting, pointing at the book.
Liao Panting glanced at the medicinal materials and understood their effects. He nodded and said:
"Adding a bit of Lotus Seed as a catalyst will further enhance the repair effects of this formula."
The two were studying the condition of Liu Chun's sister, Liu Qin.
After three years of recuperation in the Bibo Hot Springs, and with Liu Chun's meticulous care, Liu Qin's health had improved significantly.
In the past two months, her dantian's surface had shown preliminary repair.
Although it was only a preliminary repair, and there was still some time before complete recovery, Liu Qin had finally regained consciousness.
Even though the time she was awake each day was very short, this had brought Liu Chun to tears of joy.
With the preliminary repair of her dantian, she could start using medicinal pills for treatment instead of solely relying on the Bibo Hot Springs.
The people of Lingxian Sect hoped that Liu Chun could return with his sister to the sect soon. Therefore, after the recruitment of new disciples was completed, Sun Yigao and Liao Panting began researching more effective medicinal pills.
Now that Liu Qin was taking medicinal pills, the effects were not very good yet.
