After doing all this, Lin Xuan decided to lie down and rest, in an attempt to recover his energy before he began cultivating.

Over the next few days, Lin Xuan did not immediately begin converting trash pills but rather decided to quietly observe things. Although Zhao Ming had clearly described the situation here, he wasn’t completely convinced that he was told the truth.

Even if there was no point for Zhao Ming to lie to him, it was better safe than sorry.

Moreover, the people who usually applied to be stewards were the laziest cultivators, those unwilling to work hard. So then if someone who was known for his hard work were to come work here, wouldn’t that cause doubt?

Anyways, the path of a cultivator was a long one, and Lin Xuan was in no hurry, so he decided to spend time and secretly understand the going on in his surroundings. 

Meanwhile, he was also building the image of being very lazy by closing himself off in his room, which will in turn keep others from disturbing him.

As long people fell for this false image he was projecting, later on, when he started to purify and cultivate, no one would suspect anything.

After planning out his intentions, Lin Xuan started to put his plan into action over the next few days.

After about a week since he became a steward, Lin Xuan was able to quietly make sure that Zhao Ming did not lie that the jobs of the Trash Pill Storage steward were easy and that there really was nothing to do. The only thing was that on the first day of every month, a boy will come from the alchemy rooms to deliver a load of trash pills. Other than those times, even the outer disciples from other areas would not come here, let alone other cultivators visiting.

The entire area was usually isolated, but Lin Xuan was not concerned as this would suit him best.

The mess in the Tash Pill Storage’s steward’s room was worse than Zhao Ming described, He just said that it had been thousands of years since anyone cleaned or did the accounts. But right now, Lin Xuan didn’t even have any clue where it was.

In short, the whole house was full of trash pills that had accumulated over thousands of years, and no one knew exactly how many there were. It was in other words… a treasure trove in the eyes of Lin Xuan.

Unfortunately, these pills were only Purifying Essence Pills, and this could be considered the only downside.

But Lin Xuan’s need for the higher grade pills was a distant thing, so it was best not to think about it.

After getting a clear idea of the situation, Lin Xuan decided that he has spent enough time building the perfect illusion of laziness in the eyes of other people.

As far as the other boys know, the immortal master who became their new steward spent all day sleeping and lazing about, a true eccentric just like the old man in the main house.

They knew that the new steward hates to be disturbed, so even when the boys went too close once and discovered the formation, they were not surprised as they all believed that he prepared this so no one could disturb his sleep.

Understanding this, of course, none of them were foolish enough to attempt to enter within a ten-meter radius of Lin Xuan’s home and would take detours around it. All the jobs were also still managed by Zhao Ming.

And this was the result that Lin Xuan wanted, so he headed over to the storage room for a jade bottle and returned to his house to begin purifying.

Naturally, beforehand, he also prepared some bread and dried meat as food. Cultivators who were still at the Spirit Condensation Stage still needed to eat food.

After two days, Lin Xuan finished purifying an entire bottle of trash pills. Since he cut down his purification time due to practice and experience, he was already extremely familiar with the purification process for trash pills. So of course, his success rate was much higher, and so he received thirty-six useful pills out of one hundred trash pills.

His speed was also a lot faster than before, which was thanks to the added control he gained from being at the second layer of Spirit Condensation, as well as the size increase of the blue lights.

With the purified pills in hand, Lin Xuan finally began cultivating. He also didn’t forget to follow the limits stated in the medical books, so he took three pills three times a day.

Even though he lacked Spiritual Roots, Lin Xuan was able to cultivate at fast speeds as he was driven by the powerful spirit medicine coupled with his hard work.

When he used up all the pills he had, Lin Xuan went back to get more trash pills, purified them, and continued to cultivate.

He repeated this cycle over and over again.

And in the same uninterrupted pattern, six months quickly went by.

Lin Xuan was cultivating in his room still using only pills, as he no longer went to the inner area to cultivate. Even though he now has adequate power to do so and was not afraid of hardships, there is simply no longer a need for it. Since Lin Xuan took Purifying Essence Pills every day, he did not have to worry about the Spiritual Qi in his surroundings running out.

However, Lin Xuan did not completely isolate himself, as he would know nothing about current events if he stayed inside all the time. So every few days, he also went to the Young Hawk Pavilion.

Since according to the rules of Whirlwind Cloud Valley, every so often, a Foundation Establishment expert would come and give lessons to the Spirit Condensation disciples, and Lin Xuan was not willing to miss out on the lessons.

Even though the lessons were temporarily irrelevant, he still carefully listened and wrote down the practice method to save for some time in the future.

Over the past six months, Lin Xuan has taken thousands of Purifying Essence Pills, and under the effects of the spirit medicine, coupled with his hard work, Lin Xuan finally reached the fourth layer of Spirit Condensation Stage and was now considered a mid-level disciple.

Lin Xuan’s cultivation now was the same as those of his generation, as they are also mid-level disciples, not counting those who had excellent Spiritual Roots and were already at the fifth layer.

This was to say…..Lin Xuan left most of his peers behind.

To know that six months ago, he was only at the first layer of the Spirit Condensation Stage, and in just a few months, he had managed to reach the fourth layer…. His speed was not impossible, as very rarely do such geniuses appear who were able to cultivate that fast. But Lin Xuan had no Spiritual Roots and was no different from a common person.

The main reason was that these pills were truly amazing. Since after all, in addition to having the purification ability, Lin Xuan could also be considered to be the richest disciple. Not even those who come from large sects and rich families could treat pills as if they were candy.

Another reason was hard work. Lin Xuan clearly understood what it took to succeed: one must first pay the price. So even with this purification ability, he still did not dare to be lazy and worked even harder than he did originally.

As a result, Lin Xuan did not get arrogant with the immediate success that he achieved. He still thought of himself as a low-level and continued to secretly work hard.
