Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing left the Dan Pavilion carrying the Mingyue Grass seeds.

Bai Zhu'er stayed behind, seemingly intending to follow Yu Caiqing to learn alchemy techniques.

Originally, Xu Zhangqing also wanted to witness it, to see just how formidable this Senior Alchemist was.

As it turned out, unexpectedly, the other party did not permit it and refused directly.

When it comes down to it, the two had only known each other for a short time and did not yet have that qualification.

"Mingyue Grass, I recall it is a rare spirit plant that only grows at night; the denser the moonlight, the faster its growth speed and the higher its quality." Xu Zhangqing had branded the entire contents of the Spirit Field Hundred Records into his mind, almost no longer needing to consult references.

Knowing how to cultivate it, plus the Full Level Changqing Jue, Full Level Green Lotus Creation Art, and Green Lotus Domain.

Therefore, no need for a month's time; twenty days at most would suffice.

For other spirit farmers, this might be no small challenge.

But for Xu Zhangqing, there was not the slightest difficulty.

Not long after, he returned once more to the front of Chu Xiu's room door and called out.

"Master Chu~"

Soon, the room door opened, and Chu Xiu poked his head out: "It's you."

Xu Zhangqing immediately asked: "Is Senior Brother Zhang here?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "He's no longer here; seems he went back."

Xu Zhangqing, hearing this, turned to leave: "Alright, sorry to have disturbed you."

"Wait."

At this moment, Chu Xiu called out, then asked curiously: "Did you see Senior Sister Yu?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly: "Mm, I've already seen Senior Sister Yu."

Chu Xiu pressed eagerly: "Then... did you cooperate?"

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Senior Sister Yu gave me a test; as long as I pass, we can cooperate long-term."

At these words, Chu Xiu was greatly shocked: "Senior Sister Yu is a Senior Alchemist; you, a spirit farmer who just broke through to Foundation Establishment, how could you possibly..."

In fact, no matter who heard this news, they would not believe it.

Even Low-grade Alchemists don't want to cooperate; how could a more powerful Senior Alchemist possibly agree.

Xu Zhangqing, however, did not explain further: "I still have matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Master Chu any longer."

Then, he summoned his travel tool 【Big Leaf Grass】.

Four massive leaves spun round and round, lifting him up from the ground, and he swiftly vanished into the distance.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu was startled and suspicious, muttering: "Even Senior Sister Yu is willing to give a cooperation opportunity; could it be that we few misjudged him?"

……

……

On Xu Zhangqing's way home, he happened to pass by Zhuqi Peak.

At this moment, a "rumbling" sound reached his ears.

He looked up and discovered a burning fireball falling from above.

Good fellow, which Blacksmith is throwing trash around again.

Suddenly, Xu Zhangqing had a thought: "I have a mutated Lightly Vitality Gourd in hand; should I refine it into a storage item?"

What he currently uses is still the small storage bag given when he just got promoted.

Although not just one, as the things stored grow more and more, the space is no longer enough; since he has time now, he might as well make a trip there on the way.

Who to look for?

Naturally, the lead Blacksmith 【Zhu Tong】.

Admittedly, this person gives an extremely creepy feeling.

But in terms of forging and refining techniques, not a single fault can be found.

Thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing took out the other party's communication talisman.

"Who is it?"

"Xu Zhangqing, the one who previously asked you to refine Big Leaf Grass!"

"Ah, so it's you, little brother. How's the Big Leaf Grass working out?"

"Pretty good, I'm very satisfied; your technique is indeed formidable!"

"Then what's the matter with you looking for Elder Sister now?"

"I want to ask, do you refine storage items?"

"What kind of storage item does little brother want to refine?"

"I have a Bamboo Gourd!"

"This thing, Elder Sister can refine; come on over!"

Xu Zhangqing cut off the communication, then controlled the Big Leaf Grass to ascend.

Not long after, he saw the Zhuqi Peak square again, and the nine arenas.

Although it was nearly evening, the crowd flow here was still very large.

Some were dueling on the arenas.

Some set up stalls below the arena.

Everywhere were Formal Disciples who had awakened different Spiritual Roots.

Xu Zhangqing did not dawdle, heading straight for the huge Palace directly ahead.

Just as he reached the Gate, a Metal Spirit Root male apprentice with his upper body bare stopped him: "This Dao Friend, do you have an appointment?"

Xu Zhangqing replied: "I just made an appointment with Expert-level Smith Zhu Tong."

After saying that, his expression turned strange.

He always felt there was something off about those words, something weird somewhere.

The Metal Spirit Root suddenly understood: "Oh, so you made an appointment with Eldest Sister Zhu!"

"Cough cough cough." Xu Zhangqing choked on his own saliva.

The Metal Spirit Root stepped aside with a half-smile: "Fine, I won't delay your proper business."

Xu Zhangqing covered his face and walked toward Forge Room No. 17.

Since it was his second time coming, he knew his way around.

The Door was closed.

The sound of "ding ding dang dang" came from inside.

Pa pa pa~

Xu Zhangqing raised his Right Hand and slapped the door frame a few times with slight force.

Inside immediately fell silent, followed by "peng peng peng" footsteps coming from far to near.

If it were not for Xu Zhangqing having come once before, he would have thought that inside, separated by a Door, the one arriving was not a person but some Terrifying fierce beast.

The Door opened with a "squeak," and the familiar pectoral muscles came into view.

Zhu Tong looked down while smiling and greeting: "Little brother, you're here!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded awkwardly: "Elder Sister, I'm here."

Zhu Tong waved his hand: "Then come in and talk."

Xu Zhangqing instinctively hesitated for a moment, but soon stepped inside.

Probably because he had just been Forging, the temperature inside was a bit high.

The room was stuffy and hot.

Zhu Tong pointed to the chair beside him and said: "Little brother, sit anywhere, just treat it as your own home."

Xu Zhangqing looked left and right, saw that everything was miscellaneous items, so he couldn't sit down, and forced a laugh: "I'll just stand."

Zhu Tong didn't mind, picked up a round wine gourd beside him, filled it with strong wine and took a big gulp, let out a belch, then asked: "Belch~ Little brother, you want to refine the Bamboo Gourd?"

Xu Zhangqing took the thing out: "Yes."

Zhu Tong took it and examined it carefully: "The quality looks decent. If I were to refine it, it would take at least seven days, and the remuneration is 80 Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "No problem."

At current market prices, it's basically 80 to 100 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

And once this thing is successfully refined, it can be sold for 300 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Immediately, he took out 80 Middle-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the other party.

Seeing money, Zhu Tong's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Seeing as you're so considerate of your Elder Sister, little brother, when refining, I'll add a few more Spirit Patterns for you."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "That would be wonderful!"

It is well known that for refined Spirit Tools and Magic Tools, the more Spirit Patterns there are, the more Spiritual Power they can withstand, so their power, endurance, and defense are all stronger.

Zhu Tong slapped Xu Zhangqing's Shoulder with one palm, making his whole person shrink down, at least twenty centimeters shorter, then said in a Loud Voice: "Little brother, you can rest assured ten thousand times!!!"
