The spirit pattern engraving is a unique symbol of the spirit pattern master!

Xiao Tianren, the village chief, the tall old man, was well aware of this.

However, he hadn't seen a spirit pattern master for many years. Therefore, when he first saw Lin Xun's movements, he couldn't help but feel a bit dazed and was even unable to confirm.

Spirit pattern...

Could this frail young man be a spirit pattern master?

No!

True spirit pattern masters are all extremely noble and revered figures. Even in bustling cities, they are considered to be of extraordinary status.

The young man in front of him was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his simple and somewhat shabby clothing seemed to have nothing to do with the legendary spirit pattern masters.

Xiao Tianren took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and continued to watch.

Seeing Lin Xun's skilled and focused movements, at this moment, Xiao Tianren suddenly felt an uncontrollable curiosity. Where did this unfamiliar young man come from? Could he really resolve the crisis of the spirit field?

The atmosphere was silent, with only Lin Xun bending over the spirit field, using his fingertips to continuously draw intricate and lively patterns in the moist and fertile soil.

His movements were like a dancing snake, free and unrestrained.

The villagers were already stunned, their doubts gradually disappearing, and a mysterious sense of anticipation began to rise in their hearts.

Unconsciously, the dusk faded, and the sky was replaced by a dark night. Bright and large stars sprinkled their clear starlight, and a full moon hung high, casting a silver glow.

At this moment, Lin Xun's fingertips suddenly paused, and then he lightly traced over the mysterious and intricate pattern.

Buzz~

Like breathing, the pattern outlined with golden powder suddenly lit up, emitting a straight, golden beam of light.

It shot straight into the sky!

The villagers were instantly stunned, their eyes wide open, as if in a trance, all gazing at the sky with the golden beam.

In the night, the silvery moonlight, as if summoned, began to gather like a tide at the end of the golden beam.

The moonlight was hazy, gathering more and more, like clear ripples, creating a beautiful and ethereal scene that instantly amazed all the villagers.

They had lived in Feiyun Village since birth and had never seen such a miraculous feat.

It was almost like a miracle!

Boom!

When the moonlight accumulated to a certain extent, it seemed unable to bear the weight and suddenly poured down.

Rushing down like a torrent of rain, the moonlight, with its holy glow, followed the golden beam and descended onto the spirit field ravaged by pests.

In an instant, the entire spirit field was enveloped in a dreamlike, silvery glow, appearing exceptionally beautiful and ethereal in the dark night.

The frail young man standing in the spirit field, bathed in the moonlight, exuded a mysterious and awe-inspiring aura.

The entire scene was silent, and all the villagers were stunned, their eyes wide open.

Even the village chief, Xiao Tianren, was no exception, his eyes filled with surprise.

Lin Xun didn't pay much attention to this. After completing everything, he secretly sighed in relief, a look of ease appearing in his eyes. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully stepped out of the spirit field.

What needed to be done was done; the rest was up to the results.

"Young man, you are quite extraordinary."

At some point, the village chief, Xiao Tianren, had come to Lin Xun's side, his gaze full of deep meaning.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me. It's just a basic [Light-Attracting Spirit Pattern] engraved using the life bone powder of a Gold Devouring Rat, not worth mentioning."

Xiao Tianren seemed slightly surprised by Lin Xun's honesty, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He then nodded and said, "Let's go."

Lin Xun was taken aback, "Where to?"

Xiao Tianren was speechless, "Naturally, to arrange a place for you to stay. From now on, Feiyun Village will be your home. You can stay as long as you like."

As he spoke, he turned and walked away, not even paying attention to the changes happening in the spirit field.

This made Lin Xun slightly stunned. The old man had made the decision to accommodate him before seeing the results of the spirit field, which was unexpected.

He smiled silently and followed without hesitation.

...

Feiyun Village, nestled against the mountain, was bathed in the moonlight, appearing peaceful and serene.

Xiao Tianren led Lin Xun directly to the end of the village, where there was a dilapidated courtyard.

Three thatched cottages, a courtyard, a twisted willow tree in the center, and two vegetable patches on the sides, now overgrown with wild grass.

The thatched cottages were clearly in disrepair, covered in spider webs and dust.

Creak~

Pushing open the door, Xiao Tianren lit the oil lamp, and the orange-yellow light illuminated the dark room.

"This place hasn't been inhabited for many years. You can stay here temporarily. I'll have some people help you clean up the courtyard tomorrow morning."

Lin Xun looked around. Although the room was simple, it had a bed, table, and chairs. There was even a desk by the window with some dusty scrolls scattered on it.

"Thank you, Senior. This place is very nice."

Lin Xun clasped his hands in gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Xiao Tianren's aged eyes gazed at Lin Xun and said, "Young man, I don't care about your background or why you want to stay in Feiyun Village. But now that you are part of our village, you are no longer an outsider. I hope you won't do anything to betray Feiyun Village in the future."

Lin Xun smiled and nodded, "Senior, rest assured."

Xiao Tianren patted Lin Xun's shoulder and then turned to leave.

After confirming that Xiao Tianren had left, Lin Xun carefully placed the old wooden box he had been carrying on the side of the bed, then pushed open the window and gazed at the vast night sky.

After a long while, Lin Xun couldn't help but stretch lazily and muttered, "Three months of arduous travel, I finally entered the territory of the Ziyao Empire... Mr. Lu, if you are watching from above, please rest in peace. I will live as you wished..."

The young man, dressed in rough linen, with his long hair casually tied back, stood by the window, his slender figure bathed in a faint moonlight. A hint of sadness flashed across his youthful and slightly pale face, but it quickly returned to calmness.

From outside Feiyun Village, a distant cheer and exclamations of amazement could be heard.

Lin Xun listened for a while, a smile appearing on his lips.

Without further delay, Lin Xun closed the window, came to the bed, and, under the dim lamplight, opened the old wooden box that had accompanied him for over a decade.

At this moment, Tieshan was squatting in his spirit field, his rugged face filled with excitement. He stammered, "Miracle! Miracle! This damn pest disaster is finally gone. Damn, the heavens have opened their eyes!"

"Old Tieshan, this isn't the heavens opening their eyes, but the young man's doing!" someone kindly reminded him.

"Right!"

Tieshan slapped his thigh and shouted, "I said before that the young man wouldn't lie, but you guys doubted him, thinking he was a fraud. You're all blind and foolish!"

The nearby villagers were immediately embarrassed and sheepish.

They couldn't have imagined that a frail young man, only thirteen or fourteen years old and dressed in shabby clothes, could summon the moonlight to descend and resolve the disaster in the spirit field.
