Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Ah?"

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue both stared wide-eyed.

They had originally thought that this time they might lose all their profits, and even be kicked out.

After all, if the two of them hadn't mishandled things, the situation wouldn't have blown up.

Had Zhao Ziyue been a bit more rational, he could never have agreed to a duel with Wang Xuan, let alone used Zhuqi Peak's business as their wager.

And Hu Bugui had his own problems: not only did he fail to stop the already hot-headed Zhao Ziyue, he even watched helplessly as things escalated further.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing returned in time—first asking Han Xin to help suppress Wang Xuan, then getting Li Sancai to step in and negotiate with Lu Yuanyuan of Xing Nong, which finally resolved the matter.

The whole process looked simple, as if just finding someone would do, but in reality it had involved considerable risk.

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "We're all brothers."

The profits from Zhuqi Peak's side were declining every day anyway; now giving Li Shixiong two tenths not only solved the problem but also pulled the other side onto the "thief ship," which felt pretty good.

After all, the business that earned him the most spirit stones was actually in the Loose Cultivator Market.

One was selling Spirit Rice Wine.

The other was selling High-quality Pills.

As long as things stabilized in the future, the spirit stones he earned every day would be at least several times those from Zhuqi Peak's side, possibly even dozens or hundreds of times more.

Hu Bugui took a deep breath: "Lao Xu, whatever you say goes from now on."

Zhao Ziyue was also very moved: "I make it rain for your spirit plants every day."

Xu Zhangqing was startled: "Don't make it rain every day—if your spirit plants get drowned, I'd lose big."

Not long after, Hu Bugui left first; he still had plenty to do in Ling Beast Valley.

During this period he had been buying land and constantly increasing the number of spirit beasts, and now it was beginning to take shape.

In another year or two, Hu Bugui would very likely become the largest Spirit Beast Supplier in Ling Beast Valley.

And because Zhao Ziyue felt a bit ashamed, before leaving he summoned a Spirit Rain.

Seeing that it was nearly noon, Xu Zhangqing entered the kitchen to start cooking.

By the time everything was ready, half an hour had passed.

Wangwang and the pheasant, full from eating and drinking, lay resting under the Yang Tree; Xu Zhangqing moved a wooden chair to the doorway, sat down to rest, and took out Han Xin's Communication Talisman.

"Who?"

"It's your Junior Brother Xu!"

"Looks like the matter is resolved?"

"This time I have to thank Senior Sister Han for her help!"

"Cut the crap—what exactly do you want?"

"I have some new Yellow Rice Wine here; want to try some?"

"You-you-you... you big-headed ghost, giving Nong goosebumps all over!"

"Fine, Old Han!"

"That's more like it. I've got something on my end and can't get over there—you bring the Yellow Rice Wine yourself."

Afterward, the two ended their call.

Xu Zhangqing put the Communication Talisman back into his Small Storage Bag, then got up and walked into the kitchen.

After entering, he looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but frown.

Because he needed to brew quite a lot of wine, he felt the current space wasn't enough.

One barrel was High-Quality Spirit Rice Wine.

One barrel was Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

And one barrel was Top-grade Yellow Rice Wine.

Just these alone took up two-thirds of the kitchen's space.

The remaining third was the Stove, chopping board, Medicine Pot, water bucket, and water channel.

Xu Zhangqing mused: "Looks like I need to ask Junior Brother Han to expand the space, and it'd be best to add a Basement too."

Afterward, he walked to the large barrel for brewing Yellow Rice Wine, lifted the gauze cloth, and looked inside.

The amount wasn't much—about five jin.

Unless he expanded the scale, one month would yield at most ten jin.

Originally he didn't even have enough for himself, and now he had to give it all away.

But there was no choice—after all, he owed Han Xin a favor.

So Xu Zhangqing could only first pack up five jin of Yellow Rice Wine, then open the large barrel storing Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine and take out twenty jin from it.

First send twenty-five jin over as a gesture; if the other side wasn't satisfied, he'd send more.

Afterward, he left home without stopping, riding Big Leaf Grass toward the Spiritual Vein.

Since it wasn't his first time, he arrived smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the person guarding the cave entrance was still Shan Fei.

That tall, muscular, sharp-eyed burly man.

"What is it?" Seeing it was Big Leaf Grass, Shan Fei's attitude turned serious.

In this day and age, one can judge a person's approximate identity and background just from their travel tool.

If it's a Flying Paper Crane or an Earth Spirit Beast, then they are absolutely an ordinary Formal Disciple.

In the cultivation world, anyone with a bit of ability uses higher-grade things.

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "I've come to find Array Master Han Xin."

"Han Xin?"

Shan Fei raised an eyebrow and asked further: "Did you contact her in advance?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly: "Before coming, I already made an appointment with her."

Shan Fei nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, come down with me."

Someone who knows an Array Master absolutely cannot be a mediocre person.

Therefore, he reduced those deliberate interrogations aimed at Formal Disciples and omitted the procedure.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing followed beside Shan Fei, and the two walked step by step along the circular road of the earth cave toward the deepest part.

Upon reaching the bottom, Xu Zhangqing discovered this place was no different from when he came last time; everywhere were Earth Spirit Root Disciples like miners.

One by one, their faces were sallow, bodies heavy, and neither was too willing to open their mouths to speak.

Shan Fei pointed at a Spiritual Vein entrance and said: "Almost all Array Masters live below Spiritual Vein Twentieth Layer; the Han Xin you speak of is at Spiritual Vein Thirty-Eighth Layer."

"Many thanks." Xu Zhangqing saluted with clasped hands, then walked toward the entrance.

Shan Fei watched the gradually receding back figure, frowned, and said: "I always feel like I've seen this person before."

On the other side, Xu Zhangqing entered deeper underground step by step.

After a while, he finally saw a signboard.

On it were four large characters: 【Spiritual Vein 1st Layer】.

As everyone knows, starting from here, every hundred meters down adds 1 layer.

Han Xin resides at Spiritual Vein 38th Layer, that is 3800 meters.

And the further down, the denser the Earth Qi becomes.

Fortunately, when Xu Zhangqing previously helped Hu Man cultivate Earth Surge Lotus, he came consecutively for several days.

Therefore, he understands the environment, atmosphere, and situation here relatively well, deeply knowing that the further down, the greater the pressure faced.

But the present is different from the past; he has now reached Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and also has Companion Green Lotus assisting, therefore as long as it's not Spiritual Vein Hundredth Layer, there absolutely won't be a problem.

Immediately, he began entering layer by layer.

Ten layers... twenty layers... thirty-eight layers.

When he smoothly arrived at Spiritual Vein Thirty-Eighth Layer where Han Xin was, Xu Zhangqing surprisingly discovered.

This place was actually a spacious platform; there were quite a few Earth Spirit Root Disciples around, Han Xin was among them, and moreover stood in the very front row.

Beside her were three men and one woman; a circle was empty around the five people, as if the surrounding people dared not easily approach.

At this moment, everyone gazed toward the depths opposite, seemingly searching for something.

Just at this time, the entire space began to buzz, immediately followed by a rumbling roar coming from the depths opposite, as if an ancient creature had awakened!!!
