"Luo'er, you said this is a complete small world, does that mean it's not connected to other continents?"
"Yes. This small world is not connected to the outside. The only way to enter is through me. Therefore, if the Ling family chooses to live in seclusion here, it will be very safe, and no one will disturb them. Moreover, there are no cultivation restrictions here."
"But Luo'er, if we come in, how do we get out? The disciples cannot go without communicating with outsiders for too long."
"We use teleportation arrays. I have placed teleportation arrays here. Using a specific teleportation array, you can teleport to the city gate we just arrived at from anywhere. Getting out is even simpler; just walk out of the city gate and you can return to where you were before entering."
"Luo'er, do we have to carry teleportation talismans everywhere? Isn't that inconvenient? If someone else gets hold of it, can they also come in?"
"If you place the teleportation talismans into your sea of consciousness, you can use your divine sense to activate them when needed. This also serves as a method of self-preservation and you don't have to worry about them being taken away by others."
"It sounds like there are no problems."
"So, Grandfather, this is all I can do. You can make the decisions for the rest. Let's go back first."
"Luo'er, let's look around a bit more."
"Alright, after you're done looking, you can just walk out of the city gate to return to the Ling family. I'll head back first. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay."
After Ling Luoyi left, Ling Huayu and his group wandered around the city for two hours, yet they still hadn't explored the entire city.
Just as Ling Luoyi had said, this place was very suitable for seclusion.
The Ling family was currently in a precarious situation. The Ling family's auction was in two days. He had seen the list of auction items, and they were all extraordinary. Once word got out, the Ling family would face even greater turmoil.
No matter how he looked at it, this was the most suitable place, but...
Ling Huayu closed his eyes. As the patriarch, he had to decide quickly.
Ling Huayu opened his eyes with determination and ordered, "Second son, immediately issue orders to the branch families in various locations to bring their clansmen back to the capital as soon as possible."
Ling Qi understood his father's decision and replied joyfully, "Yes."
"Third and fourth sons, you will now divide this area into main and branch residences, ensuring that every clansman has a place to live."
"Yes."
"Elders, you will immediately lead people to pack up the important items in the manor."
"Yes."
"Second son's wife, third son's wife, fourth son's wife, you will assist Luo'er in placing the teleportation talismans. Remember, be quick!"
"Yes."
The Ling family's efficiency was very high. After Ling Huayu gave his orders, they quickly set about their tasks.
Bai Jingzhi, while informing Ling Luoyi, also sent people to spread the news throughout the Ling manor.
The Ling family disciples were well-trained. Upon receiving the news from Bai Jingzhi, they quickly gathered in the training grounds after dinner.
"I have called you here now because there is a very important matter to announce," Ling Huayu said, looking at the disciples. "As the patriarch, I have decided that the entire Ling family will relocate."
A commotion erupted below.
"Patriarch, why so sudden? We've never heard of this before."
"Yes, Patriarch, why are we moving?"
...
"Everyone, quiet down!" Ling Huayu's imposing aura was released, and the disciples dared not speak.
"Listen to me. We are not just moving; we are going into seclusion. I and the elders have already chosen a location. That place is rich in spiritual energy and is more suitable for the Ling family. It is a bit far, but we don't have to walk. The eldest young lady will place teleportation talismans for you shortly, so do not panic."
The disciples quieted down upon hearing Ling Luoyi's name.
In the disciples' hearts, Ling Luoyi's prestige probably surpassed that of Ling Huayu, the patriarch.
Ling Luoyi sat by the corridor, remaining silent.
After Ling Huayu finished speaking, Ling Luoyi said, "Based on your current positions, come over in groups of ten."
The first group consisted of the ten oldest direct disciples. They stood facing Ling Luoyi, forming ten columns.
Ling Luoyi took out ten talismans and said, "Watch carefully. There is no danger, so you need not be afraid."
The ten talismans floated before them under Ling Luoyi's control.
"Try to use your divine sense to collect the talismans into your sea of consciousness."
Their divine senses were quite good, and they used them skillfully, so Ling Luoyi did not need to teach them anything further. They easily placed the talismans into their seas of consciousness.
"The talismans in your seas of consciousness can take you to another city. If you accidentally enter, do not worry. You can return by walking out of the city gate. Alright, next group."
Ling Luoyi's speed was very fast. In less than half an hour, all the disciples had their talismans placed.
"Alright, everyone go back and pack your belongings. Pack the important items first, and take your time with the rest, as you have all been given storage rings. For anything else, follow the patriarch's arrangements."
"Yes!"
After returning to Qingyin Pavilion, Ling Luoyi entered the Fengxi Realm, where she had new matters to attend to.
With the Ling family preparing to go into seclusion, she could now freely pursue another matter.
Thinking of her identity and position, Ling Luoyi sighed. This was not an easy task.
Ling Luoyi had stayed up all night. Looking at her achievements, Ling Luoyi smiled with satisfaction.
"Master, Master, are you done with your work?"
As Ling Luoyi stepped out of the room, Wei Yu ran up to her.
"Wei Yu, what is it?" Ling Luoyi asked, stroking Wei Yu's head.
"Master, here is a storage ring for you. Master, we have harvested another batch of spirit vegetables, there are so many! We have also planted new spirit vegetable seeds, and in a few days, we will be able to harvest another batch."
The growth period for spirit vegetables is very long, taking four months from planting to maturity. However, she had adjusted the time flow in the vegetable garden to a ratio of 1:20, so they matured in just six days in the outside world.
Ling Luoyi accepted it and took out a new storage ring, saying, "Wei Yu, this is your allowance for this month."
"Thank you, Master."
"Wei Yu, I'm going out now. You stay here and behave."
"Master." A slightly wronged voice came from Wei Yu, coupled with her aggrieved expression, making it difficult to refuse. But Ling Luoyi was an exception.
"Alright, in a while, I will let you go out."
"Oh." Wei Yu was disappointed but obediently listened.
Ling Luoyi exited the Fengxi Realm and went to the training grounds. Today, she had to place teleportation talismans for the elders of the Ling manor.
In the afternoon, at the training grounds.
"You should have finished packing your belongings, and the eldest young lady has placed teleportation talismans for all of you. Let's head over now."
"Yes!"
They had all practiced after inserting the teleportation talismans, so with a single thought, they vanished from the training grounds.
At the city gate of the small world, all the Ling family members appeared.
"Everyone, according to the arrangements of the third and fourth masters, choose your residences."
"Yes."
The small world was vast. Ling Luoyi had placed teleportation arrays in many places within it and had informed Ling Huayu of their locations.
There were many residences in the small world, and each one was very clean, ready for immediate occupancy. Therefore, there were no disputes over houses.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in the small world was even higher than in the outside world, and the resources within were also superior. Thus, no one was unwilling, only a little reluctant to leave their homes in the outside world.
Ling Luoyi did not enter the small world, but she knew that everything was in order inside, so she felt at ease.
Ling Luoyi looked at the bracelet on her wrist. This bracelet was made of a piece of bone jade and eight gemstones of various shapes, and each gemstone was a key to a small world.
Small worlds varied in size. Of course, the larger small worlds were not refined by her; her mastery of spatial power had not yet reached that level.
Thinking of this, Ling Luoyi touched the bone jade.
A faint warmth emanated from the bone jade, and Ling Luoyi let out a soft laugh.
It missed her.
