Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Bang~

Bang bang~

The Yanshi Puppet Fortress, with the Wooden House and Spirit Field as its core, circled around from time to time, checking whether it needed to clean up feces, pull weeds, carry water, or split firewood.

Wangwang had just found an excellent spot to defecate, excitedly spinning in place several times, and after confirming the angle and posture, was baring his teeth, ready to exert force.

Suddenly perceiving something, his gaze glanced toward the rear.

Only to see that two-meter-tall Fortress staring at him with a piercing gaze.

No, to be precise, it was the part of him used for excretion.

This was bad; he couldn't defecate, but he couldn't not defecate either.

One dog, one puppet.

You look at me, I look at you.

In a strange posture, they deadlocked like this for a good while.

Finally, Wangwang really couldn't hold it in anymore, cursed a few times, then tucked his tail and ran toward the more distant Stone Mountain at extreme speed.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, Xu Zhangqing laughed out loud with schadenfreude.

However, he had no intention of intervening; Wangwang originally liked to excrete right at the front door, so it was perfect to let the Fortress discipline him, so he would remember the lesson in the future.

Then, he continued standing beside the Golden Crow Vine, comprehending the 【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method】.

Seeing that noon was approaching, the time to cook was imminent.

Suddenly, a spiritual sense stirred, and then he looked at the Attribute Panel.

【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method: First Layer】

Effect One: Contract one Fire Crow

Worthy of a low-grade fragmented cultivation method, to be able to enter the door this quickly.

Of course, the most important point is actually the knowledge reserves plus occasionally entering a state of enlightenment, thereby indirectly influencing Xu Zhangqing's current comprehension ability.

If it were before, I'm afraid it would have taken half a month or even a month to enter the door.

But now, borrowing the Golden Crow Vine's hot qi, plus all kinds of auxiliary effects, he stubbornly managed to easily enter the door within a few days.

【Whether to consume 2 years of lifespan to raise the Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method to the Second Layer?】

Xu Zhangqing decisively refused: "No, first repair this fragmented edition to completion."

The system hurriedly made an adjustment.

【Whether to consume 10 years of lifespan to repair the Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method to completion?】

"Yes." This time, Xu Zhangqing did not refuse.

Immediately, he fell into a state similar to enlightenment.

Combining his current knowledge reserves, experience, skills, and all sorts of factors, he began to perfect it bit by bit, ultimately repairing this fragmented edition to completion.

Instantly, the content above changed.

【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method: First Layer】

Effect One: Contract one Fire Crow

Effect Two: Share vision with the Fire Crow

If it were a fragmented edition, the second ordinary effect would only appear upon reaching the Second Layer.

But now, after repairing it to completion, it appears at the First Layer.

Immediately after, the prompt popped up again.

【Whether to consume 1 year of lifespan to raise the Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method to the Second Layer?】

"Shortened by one year?"

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Yes!"

In just an instant, the Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method rose to the Second Layer.

【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method: Second Layer】

Effect One: Contract one Fire Crow

Effect Two: Share vision with the Fire Crow

Effect Three: Fire Crow can spit flames

Xu Zhangqing saw it with his eyes, and secretly thought: "After all, it is merely a low-grade cultivation method; each upgrade did not bring too much surprise."

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, and decisively maxed out the 【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method】.

Because he had already mastered all the content during the repair process, he did not enter that enlightenment state again; everything went smoothly as a matter of course.

Two breaths' time, the upgrade ended.

【Remaining Lifespan: 680 years】

【Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method: Fifth Layer】

Effect One: Can contract five Fire Crows

Effect Two: Share vision with all Fire Crows

Effect Three: Fire Crows can spit high-temperature intense flames

Effect Four: Each Fire Crow produces one drop of Fire Spirit Liquid every ten double-hours

Effect Five: Fire Crows possess the intelligence of a three-year-old child and can learn simple commands.

Special Effect One: Form a Fire Crow Array; when paired with fire-attribute Spirit Tools, power is multiplied.

With this, the upgrade of the Low-grade Technique "Fire Crow Qi Nurturing Method" concludes.

Overall, it is not particularly powerful.

But for the current Xu Changqing, it is already enough.

After all, the reason he controls these Fire Crows is mainly for a monitoring role.

To prevent a repeat of last time, when he was nearly discovered by Zhu Fuxian regarding the secret beneath Stone Mountain.

Because Fire Crows belong to a type of Spirit Beast, this matter requires Hu Bugui's help.

Immediately, Xu Changqing didn't even make lunch and straight away took out the other party's Communication Talisman.

"Hello?"

"It's me!"

"Lao Xu, what's the matter?"

"I want to buy a few Fire Crows."

"Buy birds for what?"

"Can't I just play with them?"

"Can't you play with your own bird?"

"Go to hell!"

After the joking, Hu Bugui indicated there was some difficulty.

This left Xu Changqing puzzled: "Does Spirit Beast Valley still lack a few Fire Crows?"

Hu Bugui hurriedly explained: "Because Fire Crows like to swallow fire qi, Spirit Beast Valley doesn't have many."

Xu Changqing asked thoughtfully: "Where can they be found?"

Hu Bugui immediately said: "The Pill Refining Pavilion's Earth Fire District — many Fire Crows live there. If you really want them, I can help you make connections and ask around."

"Good." Xu Changqing naturally wanted them, and urgently so.

Thus, the two agreed to go together to the Earth Fire District where the Pill Refining Pavilion is located after lunch.

Once the communication ended, Xu Changqing headed for the Wooden House and began making lunch.

While eating, Wangwang rubbed against his feet with a fawning look.

Eyes glancing from time to time at the unmoving "Fortress" outside, still as a wooden block.

As if saying: "Master, you deal with it!"

Xu Changqing understood at a glance but ignored the beast, pretending not to have seen.

Wangwang persisted a while; seeing the fawning was useless, he instantly started whining "woo woo" in frustration.

About an hour later, Hu Bugui arrived.

The two chatted idly while riding the Big Leaf Grass toward the Earth Fire District.

As they drew ever closer, the chill receded bit by bit.

In the Earth Fire District, there is no spring, autumn, or winter — only summer.

Dryness and scorching heat are everything here.

Even many Cultivators deliberately choose winter to come to the Earth Fire District to escape the cold.

However, when Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui arrived, they discovered it was very lively here.

Streets that usually have very few people because of the scorching heat were this time filled with people everywhere — all Cultivators of different Spiritual Roots.

Suddenly, Xu Changqing recognized an acquaintance; he immediately brought Hu Bugui over to greet them.

"Senior Sister Yu!" Xu Changqing cupped his fists in salute.

Yu Caiqing was staring at the pill-refining tools on a stall ahead; hearing the movement she turned her head, saw it was the Spirit Farmer she cooperated with, and realized: "It's you."

Xu Changqing introduced Hu Bugui, then asked curiously: "Senior Sister Yu, why is the entire Earth Fire District so lively today?"

Yu Caiqing replied: "The Pill Appraisal Meeting hosted by the Pill Refining Pavilion is about to start; prices are a bit cheaper than usual, so many Cultivators who need Pills come to browse."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of "so that's how it is."

One stays out of worldly affairs in the Spirit Fields.

One focuses on shoveling manure in Spirit Beast Valley.

They truly didn't know that at this time the Pill Refining Pavilion would hold a "Pill Appraisal Meeting" in the Earth Fire District.

At this, Yu Caiqing issued an invitation: "Since you're here, want to come with me?"
