The ecstatic old Taoist priests! They are willing to devote themselves to Daxia until their death!
"Yue Yatou, you're not joking, are you?"
"Could this green brick be some kind of Spirit Pill or Immortal Pill?"
The Second Elder pointed at the green brick on the table, a look of 'are you kidding me' on his face.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Xiyue; it was purely that the item's appearance was too unconvincing!
"Heh, Second Great-Grandfather, you're absolutely right."
Lin Xiyue put her hands on her hips, her chin slightly raised, looking triumphant.
"This is indeed a Spirit Pill or Immortal Pill."
"Don't let its brick-like shape fool you; in reality, this is a Medicinal Pill!"
"Medicinal Pill???"
The Second Elder's voice instantly rose eight octaves.
"Yatou... I don't know much about Cultivation matters."
"But I'm not so clueless that I can't even tell what a Medicinal Pill looks like!"
"Aren't Medicinal Pills supposed to be round like candies?"
"What kind of Medicinal Pill is this?"
The Second Elder truly didn't believe it; this thing was too abstract. He'd find it more plausible if she said it was moldy dried tofu.
The other Four Elders also nodded repeatedly, their gazes at the green brick filled with suspicion.
If this thing was a Medicinal Pill, then the teacups in their conference room could be used as Magic Treasures!
"Actually, I didn't believe it at first either." Lin Xiyue understood their feelings perfectly, shrugging playfully, "But this was specially custom-made by My Brother, so I believed it."
"What?!"
"So this is something My Brother sent?"
As soon as the words fell, the Four Elders' attitudes immediately did a complete 180-degree reversal.
"Ah, why didn't you say so sooner!" The Second Elder excitedly slapped his thigh; his old face, which had been full of doubt moments ago, instantly blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"Now I have to believe it! Can something My Brother sent be wrong?"
"This must be a Medicinal Pill! Absolutely no doubt!"
As a genuine Cultivator in a Xuanhuan world, Lin Mo had certainly seen far more of the world than these country bumpkins on Blue Star!
Since he said this was a Medicinal Pill, then never mind if it looked like a brick; even if it looked like a toilet, it would definitely be a Divine Pill that could make people ascend to heaven in one step!
"Grandfathers, are you playing a face-changing trick here?"
"You believed it as soon as you heard it was sent by My Brother?"
"Tsk, never mind, never mind."
Lin Xiyue looked at them and couldn't help but complain.
She waved her small hand, too lazy to bother with this group of live treasures, and continued to explain:
"Grandfathers, normal Medicinal Pills certainly don't look like this."
"But you still remember, don't you? My Brother has restrictions when sending things to us."
"So, in order to create a Medicinal Pill that multiple people could share, this modified azure wood qi nourishing brick came into being."
"Is that so?" The Grand Elder instantly understood, sighing with emotion, "We understand now, My Brother truly put a lot of thought into this!"
"So, this unique Medicinal Pill brick can really allow Daxia to produce dozens of Qi Refining Realm Cultivators?"
His gaze fell on the Medicinal Pill brick, filled with excitement.
He raised his hand, wanting to touch it, but halfway there, he abruptly pulled it back, afraid that he might not control his strength well and damage this unique treasure.
"Mm-hmm, of course."
Lin Xiyue nodded affirmatively.
"It has the same effect as the green wood qi nurturing pill I took at the time."
"However, as you should understand, this brick will need to be divided into small pieces."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded, then pressed further, "Besides sending the Medicinal Pill brick, did My Brother say anything else?"
"My Brother also made a suggestion. He said that the spots could be prioritized for the Old Daoist Priests."
"Because he will continue to transmit more Cultivation technologies to Daxia later."
"Such as Formation, Artifact Refining, and so on."
"And those Old Daoist Priests have a foundation, plus with Cultivation, they will certainly achieve twice the results with half the effort."
Lin Xiyue faithfully conveyed Lin Mo's suggestion.
"Hmm, My Brother is very right."
The Grand Elder deeply agreed.
"The matter of Alchemy fully proves their capability."
"Since that's the case, let's do as My Brother said!"
The Grand Elder made a decisive decision, directly giving his approval, "Summon them now!"
The order was given, and the efficiency was extremely high.
Before long, eighteen Old Daoist Priests, led by Daoist Master Xuan Chen and Zhang Qingfeng, were summoned to the conference room.
When they learned that they would be chosen by the country,
to become the first batch to prioritize taking the "Immortal Pill," directly skipping the Body Tempering Realm and ascending to heaven in one step to become Qi Refining Realm Cultivators, all the Old Daoist Priests were stunned.
Immediately after, immense ecstasy, like a mountain flood and tsunami, instantly overwhelmed their reason.
"The great kindness of the country... we... how can we ever repay it!"
Daoist Master Xuan Chen trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his old face.
The rest of the Old Daoist Priests also had tears in their eyes, wishing they could kowtow to the country on the spot.
Afterward, Lin Xiyue took out the azure wood qi nourishing brick in front of everyone.
She pointed her fingers like a sword, lightly drawing a line in the air, and the emerald green Medicinal Pill brick precisely cut into eighteen uniform small squares, floating in the air, emitting a faint vitality.
The Old Daoist Priests took their respective "small Medicinal Pills" and swallowed them without the slightest hesitation.
The next moment, a surge of powerful medicinal energy exploded within their bodies!
Eighteen powerful Auras soared into the sky, and the air in the entire conference room vibrated.
"Ascending to heaven in one step! This is what you call truly ascending to heaven in one step!"
The Four Elders watched from the side, their hearts surging with emotion and excitement.
The scene before them was nothing short of a miracle.
Those eighteen decrepit Old Daoist Priests, who could even be said to have one foot in the grave,
after Breaking Through to the Qi Refining Realm, their entire spirit and vitality underwent earth-shattering changes.
Their originally gray hair visibly regained its luster, the wrinkles on their faces faded significantly, and their hunched backs began to straighten!
This wasn't just a Breakthrough; this was practically returning to youth!
"The great kindness of the country and the Little Ancestral Master, we have no way to repay!"
"We vow to dedicate all our knowledge in this life, to serve Daxia with utmost devotion until death!"
After becoming Qi Refining Realm Cultivators, the eighteen invigorated Old Daoist Priests' first act was to perform an incredibly solemn Daoist grand 禮 towards Lin Xiyue and the Four Elders.
At this moment, in their eyes, besides gratitude, there was only unwavering loyalty until death.
As for who they were calling "Little Ancestral Master"... this story has to start with Zhang Qingfeng, the president of the Daoist Association.
Ever since learning about Lin Mo, the "Dao Ancestor" in another world, Zhang Qingfeng had adamantly declared that Lin Mo must be the Reincarnation of a certain Dao Ancestor or Ancestral Master from their Daoist legends who descended to the mortal Realm!
To this end, he even racked his brains to concoct the grand legend of "Dao Ancestor Reincarnated, Descended to Another World, and Giving Back to His Homeland."
One could only say that in order for the Daoist sect to firmly cling to Daxia, the strongest leg, Zhang Qingfeng was quite shameless, just making things up.
However, although this claim was outlandish, it couldn't stop the people of the Daoist sect from falling for it.
Thus, Lin Mo's biological younger sister, Lin Xiyue, was naturally revered by them as the sacred "Little Ancestral Master."
And every time Lin Xiyue heard this title, she felt like her toes could dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from the ground,
but seeing the devout expressions of the Old Daoist Priests, she felt too embarrassed to correct them, so she could only let them continue to call her that.
"Hmm, esteemed Daoist Priests, I hope you will live up to the expectations of the country and the Dao Ancestor." The Grand Elder nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, you may return to your respective duties."
"Um... Daoist Priest Qingfeng, please stay for a moment, we have something else to discuss with you."
Soon, the other Daoist Priests dispersed, leaving only Zhang Qingfeng in the conference room.
The Four Elders' purpose in keeping him was simple:
they wanted him, as the president of the Daoist Association, to use his influence to screen another batch of reliable Daoist talents to fill the remaining spots for the Medicinal Pill brick.
According to Lin Mo's suggestion, what Daxia currently lacked most was a group of versatile talents who could solve various Cultivation technology problems.
Therefore, they simply decided to use all the remaining spots for this purpose, striving to maximize the value of this Medicinal Pill brick.
"Wait, Great Grandfather, why don't you all also take some of the remaining spots?" Lin Xiyue suddenly suggested at this point.
However, her suggestion was rejected by the Second Elder without a second thought.
"Ah, these spots are so precious; us four old bones won't go needlessly joining in on this."
The Second Elder waved his hand with a smile, "Yue Yatou, we know you mean well, but we truly don't need them."
"If you ask me, just leaving two spots for your parents is enough; the rest should be used where they're most needed!"
"Ah, this... based on what I know about My Father, he probably wouldn't want them either." Lin Xiyue pouted, "Never mind, never mind. Grandfathers, you can decide; I won't bother my brain with it."
She shook her head, finding it too troublesome to think about these convoluted matters, and simply decided to be a hands-off manager.
"Then it's settled." The Grand Elder made the final decision, "Daoist Priest Qingfeng, I'll trouble you with this matter; please attend to it immediately."
"No trouble at all! It is our duty to share the country's burdens!"
"I'll go now!"
Zhang Qingfeng didn't hesitate, turning and hurrying off to assist in screening talents.
And so, just one day later.
Under Zhang Qingfeng's efficient execution, Daxia once again gained dozens of genuine Qi Refining Realm Cultivators!
At the same time, far away in the Qingxuan Sect within the Cangxuan Great Realm.
Lin Mo, sitting cross-legged in his quiet room, suddenly trembled.
Immediately after, pure and boundless streams of power appeared out of thin air in his Dantian Spirit Sea,
propelling his Realm to begin a new round of rapid growth!
