The Qingxuan Sect elders were ecstatic. Did they find a treasure? They immediately became inner disciples!

"What?"

"The dao ancestor plan??"

In Qingxuan Sect, Lin Mo looked a bit bewildered as he listened to Lin Xiyue's report in his mind.

He had thought things might go smoothly, but he never expected them to go so ridiculously smoothly.

Only a little over a day of Blue Star time had passed, and the highest echelons of Daxia had already approved his request.

They even named this matter the "dao ancestor plan"!

It is known that Daxia is a purely technological nation, and there has never been any trace of Cultivation Techniques in its history.

Therefore, the answer to who the "dao ancestor" in this plan refers to is self-evident.

"Good heavens, the Grand Elder truly thinks highly of me."

"Are they planning to groom me into an otherworldly Dao Ancestor, so I can continuously transmit Cultivation Techniques back to Daxia?"

Lin Mo's guess was correct; the Grand Elder and the others indeed had this in mind.

Daxia is not a Cultivation civilization, which means that from now on, the only hope for the entire civilization to embark on the path of transcendence rests with Lin Mo, a true Cultivator in a Xuanhuan world.

For the entire Daxia, Lin Mo is the source who opens the Dao, the unique individual who transmits the Dao.

Calling him a Dao Ancestor is no exaggeration.

"Well, since the officials are so supportive, I can't let them down."

"The most urgent task is to obtain a Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Technique."

"Without a Cultivation Technique, relying solely on the body's natural instinct to passively absorb Spiritual Qi, the Cultivation efficiency would be no different from a turtle crawling."

"That girl Xiyue also needs a new Cultivation Technique."

In the Cangxuan Great Realm, only by stepping into the Qi Refining Realm can one be considered a true Cultivator.

Once a Breakthrough is made, the common Body Tempering Art completely loses its effect.

It does not inherently possess the ability to actively absorb and refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; to continue growing stronger, one must Cultivate a true Cultivation Technique.

As for where to find Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Techniques...

"The Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills of Qingxuan Sect are all kept in the Scripture Pavilion on the mountain peak."

"But to enter, one must at least be an Outer Sect Disciple."

Lin Mo stroked his chin, beginning to ponder.

The simplest method, of course, is to choose one from the Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

But this requires the status of an Outer Sect Disciple.

For Lin Mo, this status was within reach, as he was currently at Qi Refining Realm six.

Such a Cultivation base, even among all Outer Sect Disciples, would definitely rank him among the top performers.

But the problem was that Utility Disciples who wanted to be promoted had to pass the Sect's unified assessment held every three months.

The next assessment was in six days.

Which was also the day he was originally scheduled to be dismissed and sent away.

"Six days... converted to Blue Star time, that's thirty-six days, over a month."

"With Xiyue's Aptitude, a month without a Cultivation Technique would waste how much Cultivation?"

"Definitely a huge loss!"

"No, I can't wait! I must find a way to become an Outer Sect Disciple ahead of time!"

Six days, not long, he would have waited before.

But now with the System, time is Cultivation, and Cultivation is life!

Every minute and every second was extremely precious; wasting even a day would pain him for half a day.

After pacing a few steps in the room, Lin Mo's eyes sharpened, and he decisively walked out, heading straight towards the Sect's main hall on the mountain peak.

He wanted to find the Sect's Elder to see if he could get special treatment and take the assessment early...

Qingxuan Sect, External Affairs Hall.

Lin Mo found an Elder responsible for managing Outer Sect Disciple affairs.

"This Elder, Disciple Lin Mo, wishes to apply for an early Outer Sect Disciple assessment."

The Elder, who was busy processing documents with his head down, didn't even look up, casually asking, "Which courtyard are you from? What's your name?"

"Menial Labor Courtyard, Lin Mo."

Upon hearing the words "Menial Labor Courtyard," the Elder's pen paused, and he finally looked up, scrutinizing Lin Mo from head to toe.

His expression instantly turned impatient.

"Utility Disciple? Utility Disciples should stay in the Menial Labor Courtyard obediently and wait for the unified assessment in six days."

"Don't you understand Sect rules? You want an early assessment, who do you think you are?"

Lin Mo had long anticipated this and didn't waste words.

He merely calmly released a wisp of his Qi Refining Realm six aura.

Boom!

A surge of Spiritual Qi fluctuations, far exceeding that of an ordinary Qi Refining Realm, instantly filled the entire room.

The Elder, who had initially been dismissive, froze completely.

His pen clattered onto the table, ink splattering everywhere, but he remained oblivious.

He widened his eyes, staring intently at Lin Mo, his face filled with disbelief.

"Qi... Qi Refining Realm six?!"

"You... you, a Utility Disciple, Qi Refining Realm six?!"

This Elder, who had worked in the Outer Sect for over a decade, felt his worldview intensely shaken at this moment.

He immediately realized that he had stumbled upon a treasure!

A Disciple who could Cultivate to Qi Refining Realm six on his own in a desolate place like the Menial Labor Courtyard, devoid of resources?

What kind of concept was that?

A Genius! An unparalleled Genius!

"Quick! You... you wait here! Don't leave!"

The Elder's attitude took a complete 180-degree turn. Without another word, he rushed out of the room and headed straight for the inner hall, clearly going to notify the Sect's Elders.

Lin Mo, seeing this, stood calmly in place, waiting quietly.

Soon, three powerful auras approached rapidly from a distance.

Three old men, dressed in Elder robes, appeared before Lin Mo.

Each of their Cultivation bases had reached the Spirit Sea Realm!

"It's you who Cultivated to Qi Refining Realm six in the Menial Labor Courtyard?" The Grand Elder, at the forefront, scrutinized Lin Mo with extremely sharp eyes.

Lin Mo, neither servile nor overbearing, once again released his Cultivation.

The Divine Sense of the three Elders swept over him, and they all instantly showed signs of shock.

"Hiss... it really is Qi Refining Realm six!"

"The Foundation is stable, the Spiritual Qi is pure, it doesn't seem like it was forcibly raised."

"Incredible! In a place like the Menial Labor Courtyard, without Cultivation Techniques, without Medicinal Pills, how did he Cultivate?"

The three Elders exchanged glances, all seeing profound shock in each other's expressions.

The Grand Elder looked at Lin Mo and asked, "Young man, tell us, how did you Cultivate to Qi Refining Realm six?"

Lin Mo had already prepared an excuse for this, and he answered with a sincere expression, "Replying to Grand Elder, Disciple is not sure either."

"Shortly after entering Qingxuan Sect, Disciple suddenly felt a strong affinity with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi one day."

"Afterward, even without a Cultivation Technique, that Spiritual Qi would continuously gather within my body."

Upon hearing this, the breathing of the three Elders hitched.

Special Physique!

These four words instantly appeared in their minds!

The Grand Elder stepped forward, reaching out to probe Lin Mo's physical condition.

However, as soon as his Divine Sense touched Lin Mo's body, it was as if it plunged directly into an endless abyss, unable to detect anything.

Of course, he couldn't detect anything, because Lin Mo was currently concealed by the System.

But instead of doubting, the Grand Elder became even more certain of his own speculation!

"He must have Awakened some extremely rare special Physique, which is why I can't ascertain his depth!"

"We've found a treasure! Qingxuan Sect has truly found a treasure this time!"

Then, he temporarily suppressed the wild joy in his heart and asked with a hint of doubt, "Since you had already stepped into the Qi Refining Realm long ago, why didn't you apply to become an Outer Sect Disciple sooner, and instead stayed in the Menial Labor Courtyard?"

This was also the question of the other two Elders.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face revealed a composure unsuited for his age.

"Replying to Elder, Disciple believes that Cultivating too quickly may not be a good thing."

"This might lead to an unstable Heart-Nature, laying hidden dangers for the future path of Cultivation."

"Therefore, Disciple willingly stayed in the Menial Labor Courtyard for three years, chopping firewood, carrying water, and sweeping courtyards daily, solely to temper my Heart-Nature and seek Perfection of my Heart-Nature."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall instantly fell into a dead silence.

The three Spirit Sea Realm Elders all looked at Lin Mo with expressions as if they were looking at a monster.

They were completely stunned.

They hadn't expected that this young man, who appeared to be only eighteen, could possess such profound insights and understand the importance of Heart-Nature in Cultivation!

This Disciple not only possessed extraordinary talent but also a Heart-Nature that was one in ten thousand!

They all felt that the future of Qingxuan Sect would likely rest on this young man.

"Good! What a way to temper one's Heart-Nature!"

The Grand Elder clapped his hands and laughed heartily, his face full of admiration.

"With such a Heart-Nature, how can the Great Dao not be achieved!"

"From today onwards, you no longer need to be an Outer Sect Disciple."

"I, this old man, will make the decision to exceptionally promote you directly to an Inner Sect Disciple!"
