Chapter 325: Chapter 325: May 1, another Ecliptic change day But Lin Xiaosu was far from reaching this starting point of Level 25. Moreover, he couldn’t find any method to advance the Subdivine Skill. Now, he seemed to have grasped a bit of the trick... An ultimate squeeze regarding "Heavenly Star Tears". An extreme adventure regarding the future path. His Subdivine Skill ran at full power for over ten days, breaking through Level 1! Rising from Level 18 to Level 19. Great, next, let’s perform this path... Using the Skin Heavenly Star Tears to charm women... Hmm, at this stage, it could only be "targeted charm". Using the Meat Heavenly Star Tears to strengthen the body. Using the Bone Heavenly Star Tears to forge his own cultivation path. Incidentally, step by step elevating the Subdivine Skill! The other day, he thought his path might be cut off by his own play. Today, he feels the future is quite "promising"... This is the charm of great adventures. It’s already early morning. Outside the window, faint belly white of the fish emerges. On the bed, little Ye’s belly is also quite white. Some say, a man in the morning is a creature with relatively high levels of testosterone secretion. Some also say, when a man crosses a difficult barrier, testosterone secretion will also accelerate. Perhaps this is true, at least, Lin Xiaosu finds the white belly on the bed, and the towel under little Ye’s bottom, very tempting. However, he still forced himself out of the room. His dad, being older, gets up very early, has already woken up, picking up a hoe preparing to head out. Seeing Lin Xiaosu, he stopped: "Why did you get up so early?" "Hmm, there’s something at the Detective Agency, I must leave!" "It’s about time you left!" Dad said: "Your mom always says you’re not at home, which makes her uneasy, but you staying home for more than ten days makes me uneasy, focus on your career, a man should have aspirations everywhere!" "Dad, you really understand me." Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Tell my mom that I probably won’t be coming back for a while." "No worries! The house has me!" Lin Xiaosu left the courtyard gate and embarked on the road to the county town. Turning past the mountain corner at the village entrance, he got onto the mountainous path to Liu Lin Temple. This season is probably when Liu Lin Temple’s scenery is at its best. Flowers bloom everywhere, the spring breeze gently blows. The red sun rises, Yishui ripples. Entering Liu Lin Temple, from afar, he could hear the unique rhythm of the Beijing opera and the classic lyrics: "Peach leaves pointy, willow leaves fill the sky..." Lin Xiaosu pushed open the wooden door of the Taoist Temple, seeing a scene of extreme leisure... Second uncle reclining on a deck chair. Holding a teapot. With a cigarette in his hand. The kettle beside was boiling with a sizzling sound. The unique rhythm of the Beijing opera emanated from the phone beside, in this morning, distinctly conveying a sense of comfort and leisure. "Second uncle, aren’t you too idle?" Lin Xiaosu said. Second uncle’s eyes suddenly opened, his hand trembled, and a long piece of ash fell on his pants: "Boy, are you a cat? I didn’t even notice you come in." "You’re immersed in the flavor of Beijing opera, couldn’t hear the footsteps of the mundane world." Lin Xiaosu laughed. Second uncle stretched out his hand and switched off the phone: "Have you had breakfast?" "Whether I’ve eaten or not doesn’t matter, anyway you’ve already eaten!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Second uncle, is there a day you’ve calculated?" "What?" "The next Ecliptic change day! This year’s May Day!" Second uncle’s expression changed: "May Day? The next Ecliptic change day?" Lin Xiaosu frowned: "Second uncle, aren’t you capable of calculating the Ecliptic change day? Didn’t you calculate it?" "No... the main thing is... anyway you’re more accurate than I am, with you calculating, why should I bother my brain?" Second uncle scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. Lin Xiaosu was speechless. He finally understood why his second uncle could be so idle. He’s the type of person who’s lazy when someone else can take responsibility. Of course, it indirectly proved that calculating the Heavenly Dao Mysterious Mechanism isn’t that easy. Even for the lowest-level Ecliptic change day, just calculating it takes a long time, needing to observe the celestial phenomena and compare it with the quirky Taoist mechanisms inside the Taoist sect. Second uncle calculating this is actually quite taxing on him. Previously he had no choice but to do it; now, with Lin Xiaosu, who calculates in ten minutes better than his three straight days and nights, his laziness seemed quite justified. Yet what moved Lin Xiaosu more was that his second uncle directly said to him: "You come over to guard the temple that day!" Not only was he lazy to calculate, but he was also lazy to deal with it. The reason was easy to find: anyway, you’re better than me in everything, you guarding here is more useful than me in case of any incidents! This, Lin Xiaosu directly agreed! Today he went to Liu Lin Temple just to inform second uncle about this time node, because he still had some things to do, and in case of unforeseen force that made him unable to return, second uncle could at least have a response. Of course, this is only if there’s an unforeseen force. Otherwise, at that point in time, he must return to Liu Lin Temple. The Ecliptic change day holds exceptional significance to him. The first two Ecliptic change days brought him the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye and the Human Tao Orchid Heart; in fact, they also brought the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit. Each item was his ballast stone, how could he miss the third Ecliptic change day? The matter of the Ecliptic change day was settled by second uncle with one sentence, without further ado. He lifted the teapot to pour Lin Xiaosu a cup of tea, then eagerly informed Lin Xiaosu of one thing. He, Li Laoer, is now someone who earns a salary! What does that mean? The Taoist Temple was brought under the management of the civil affairs department, and as the temple guardian, he has a salary! Fifteen hundred a month! Although this salary is relatively low, second uncle was excited. He’s someone who earns a state salary! Previously he didn’t have a salary. The rice and oil he consumed were actually grown by Second Aunt, and as a man, apart from helping during the busy farming seasons, feeding water when Second Aunt was thirsty, and giving injections, he hardly did anything for the family. Second uncle felt guilty towards Second Aunt, but now it’s better, his payroll card handed over to Second Aunt made him feel invigorated... Why is that? Second uncle didn’t understand. But Lin Xiaosu did. Qianlong knew about Liu Lin Temple. Once Qianlong knew, corresponding arrangements would be made. These arrangements would be implemented through local government departments, but the instructions came from Qianlong. Liu Lin Temple is such. So is the Ancient Tower in Tashan... Lin Xiaosu left Liu Lin Temple, descended to the road, and the ten-mile journey passed in a twinkle, he once again arrived at Tashan Lake. Within ten zhang of the small wooden house, he heard the sound of a guqin. This music was vastly different from the modern world’s highly melodious music. At least Lin Xiaosu couldn’t discern the melodious charm. All he could hear was vastness. Yes, an unparalleled vastness. Seemingly a sigh at the peak of a mountain in the barren hills. With a hint of loneliness and a touch of melancholy. The music was light and unobtrusive, not disturbing those spring outing along Tashan Lake or people on their way, but for Lin Xiaosu listening, it was quite emotional. Was she lonely? From the grand era of an Ancient Heavenly Pride stepping into a blood coffin. Sealed for countless tens of thousands of years. Returning to the sunlight, the world was no longer the world it once was. No more old friends, no more family, no more tribe, not even enemies left... In this vast universe, only her! This sense of loneliness could only transform into the sound of the zither, with its ungraspable melody etched on this tranquil Tashan Lake...
