Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Hua Lao reminded: "There are houses near the Spirit Fields, so you don't need to worry about resting. If you're dissatisfied or have your own ideas, you can ask Earth Spirit Root Disciples to help renovate."

"Yes." Several people nodded.

Hua Lao added: "Also, considering the fourth quarter is winter, and you've just joined, you can be exempt from submitting your yield this year, officially starting from the Beginning of Spring next year."

"Great!" Lin An and Zhao Ziyao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"So we can plant?" Xu Zhangqing blinked his eyes.

Hua Lao immediately said: "If you choose to plant, you must submit at least one thousand jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice by the end of the year."

"I want to try." Xu Zhangqing didn't want to give up the opportunity to harvest lifespan.

Hua Lao reminded: "Junior, you must think this through clearly; winter yields will decline."

Lin An couldn't help but advise: "Yes, Xu Dao Friend, is there really a need to work so hard?"

"You're doing this as if we all like to slack off." Zhao Ziyao showed slight dissatisfaction.

"Anyway, being idle is being idle; we should do something." Xu Zhangqing shrugged.

"Suit yourself." Hua Lao wrote down Xu Zhangqing's name.

Regarding this, the reactions of the several people nearby were all different.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin An ultimately chose to give up, not daring to plant in winter.

There were mainly two reasons.

One, winter yields would decrease, making it very likely they couldn't complete the task.

Two, once they planted, they would have to give half of the harvest to Han Su and Zhao Xin.

This also meant that if the yield was insufficient, they would very likely be unable to submit the task.

It would be better to wait until the Beginning of Spring next year to officially start.

Not only would there be several months of preparation time.

They could also understand the operation of the entire Spirit Field Core Area.

And Zhao Ziyao, upon seeing Xu Zhangqing—a person who had failed twice consecutively—dare to take the task,

felt very unconvinced in his heart.

Therefore, he also went to Hua Lao to take the task, planning to try it out.

As for Zhao Ying, he simply had no right to choose.

Zhang Er merely gave a glance, and he had no choice but to step forward and submit his name.

Hua Lao also said: "By the way, Formal Disciples can receive one high-rank spell."

"High-rank?" Xu Zhangqing and the others all had their eyes light up.

"There are three in total, respectively 【Wood Spirit Cultivation Art】, 【Wood Spirit Entangling Art】, and 【Wood Spirit Health Art】." Hua Lao introduced.

"What are the detailed effects?" Xu Zhangqing asked further.

"【Wood Spirit Cultivation Art】 is the advanced version of 【Changqing Jue】.

And 【Wood Spirit Entangling Art】 is the only offensive spell.

As for 【Wood Spirit Health Art】, as the name suggests, it is to extend your lifespans." Hua Lao explained.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "The first and third are both not suitable for me."

First, his 【Changqing Jue】 had already reached the Fifth Layer, which was completely enough.

Second, he didn't need to worry about lifespan issues at all, so he ignored it.

Considering Zhang Er beside him had been showing a "man-eating" look all along.

It was very obvious that this guy definitely wanted to cause trouble.

If there weren't certain protection measures, he was afraid he would be killed.

"Once you've decided, come get it." Hua Lao said and yawned.

Lin An pondered: "Is there even a choice? It's definitely 【Wood Spirit Cultivation Art】!"

"Right." Zhao Ziyao deeply agreed.

"I... choose what?" Zhao Ying looked toward someone beside him.

Zhang Er said expressionlessly: "Cultivation Art."

"Good." Zhao Ying nodded.

Soon, the people in front had all finished receiving theirs.

Seeing Hua Lao's gaze fall on him, Xu Zhangqing asked: "Can these high-rank spells be exchanged later?"

"If you have enough points, you can." Hua Lao gave an affirmative reply.

Xu Zhangqing no longer hesitated.

Decisively stepped forward to receive 【Wood Spirit Entangling Art】.

The reason he chose the offensive spell was because he was afraid Zhang Er would retaliate later, so he would strike first.

As for planting, Full Level Changqing Jue was enough.

At worst, he could exchange for 【Wood Spirit Cultivation Art】 with points later.

"Huh?" Hua Lao saw that he chose the only offensive spell among the three spells, and seemed quite surprised.

However, he didn't say anything more.

Everyone has the right to choose.

Even if he is a steward, he cannot interfere.

"What did you choose?" Lin An stepped forward curiously and asked.

"Same as you." Xu Zhangqing shrugged.

Lin An and Zhao Ziyao immediately wore expressions of "as expected."

For spirit farmers, yield determines everything.

There's no need to go out and fight, so there's no need to choose 【Wood Spirit Entanglement Art】.

As for lifespan?

Wood Spiritual Root cultivators are naturally born to live longer than others!

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing held the jade tablet in his hand, then covered it with spiritual power.

Instantly, the content of 【Wood Spirit Entanglement Art】 appeared in his mind.

As expected of a high-rank art, far more profound than the low-rank 【Changqing Jue】.

Because it is an offensive art, there are certain requirements.

At least Qi Refining Middle Stage is required to qualify for cultivation.

Qi Refining Early Stage is somewhat difficult.

After successful cultivation, a 【Spirit Seal】 will appear within the body.

From then on, as long as spiritual power is consumed, the surrounding plants can be controlled.

Hua Lao's gaze shifted back and forth, asking: "Next, do you choose the familiar spirit rice, or other spirit plants?"

Xu Zhangqing put the jade pendant into the small storage bag, then asked curiously: "Are there others?"

"Naturally there are, and plenty of them." Hua Lao said confidently.

"Those suitable for us shouldn't be many, right?" Zhao Ziyao is no fool.

"If at Qi Refining Early Stage, and 【Changqing Jue】 is below the second layer, one can only choose spirit rice. Upon reaching Qi Refining Middle Stage, up to ten types of spirit plants can be chosen." Hua Lao explained briefly.

"I choose spirit rice." Xu Zhangqing didn't even ask this time.

Although his cultivation realm had already reached Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Even Changqing Jue had advanced to the fifth layer.

Meeting the requirements.

Logically, he could choose other spirit plants.

But these cannot be leaked for the time being.

Therefore 【Spirit Rice】 is the only choice.

Otherwise, it would easily attract others' attention, especially Zhang Er's.

"I also choose spirit rice." Seeing Xu Zhangqing was so decisive, Zhao Ziyao naturally dared not be careless.

Soon, Zhao Ying also chose spirit rice.

When they were at the Outer Perimeter, they had planted for two to three seasons.

Very familiar with this, possessing relatively rich experience.

If changed to other spirit plants, even if there was no failure, the yield would not be high.

"Put away your things, you can leave." Hua Lao finished distributing the spirit seedlings, and the reception task also ended.

"Let's go." Xu Zhangqing walked out first.

Not long after, everyone arrived outside the Palace.

Then you look at me.

I look at you.

Finally, they all looked at Zhao Ying beside Zhang Er.

Only the four of them were promoted this time; at parting, their moods were somewhat complex.

From then on, they must each guard their own one mu three fen of land, probably with few chances to meet.

"Wish everyone good luck." Xu Zhangqing saluted the group with clasped hands, then left.

Lin An smiled at Zhao Ziyao: "We are close in distance, we can visit often."

"Good." Zhao Ziyao naturally would not refuse.

The two originally planned to chat with Zhao Ying.

But upon seeing Zhang Er beside the other party, they finally shook their heads.

Soon, the vast Shan Ding Ping Tai had only Zhang Er and Zhao Ying left.

Watching Xu Zhangqing, Lin An, and Zhao Ziyao leave.

Zhao Ying was extremely envious.

At this moment, a hand pressed on his shoulder.

Seemingly without weight, yet bringing an extremely heavy pressure.

Zhao Ying's back hunched instantly, and he could never straighten up again!
