Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Halfway there, Xu Zhangqing paused for a moment, then said, "How about we call Senior Brother Li along too?"

Li Sancai was too alone.

He had no family left.

He had abandoned his clan.

His only relative wasn't even in the immortal sect.

Although the other party always claimed to enjoy a world of one.

But in reality, Xu Zhangqing could see a look of loneliness in his eyes every time.

Hu Bugui nodded lightly: "Sure, we can just split the spirit stones with him."

Zhao Ziyue shrugged: "I have no objection."

Seeing neither of them had objections, Xu Zhangqing took out Li Sancai's communication talisman.

At this moment, on the other side of the spirit field.

Li Sancai lay on the bed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

In the huge stone house, it was so quiet only his own heartbeat could be heard.

Cold silence, loneliness, merged into a tormenting taste.

As a child, he longed for time to speed up.

Grown up, he feared the night would stagnate.

Clearly not afraid of cold, yet a chill spread through his whole body.

Goosebumps rose.

Every hair on his body stood on end.

Cold to the point he hallucinated, as if seeing his dead parents smiling at him.

Suddenly, a hysterical wail rang out:

"Why is it New Year again?"

Right then, a slight vibration came from his storage bag.

Li Sancai originally didn't want to pay attention, but it kept ringing non-stop.

He had no choice but to open the storage bag and take out a communication talisman flashing with spiritual light.

Judging by the degree of wear, it had been used many times.

However, in the entire Dongting Immortal Sect, not many people had their own communication talisman.

The number of people who could reach this degree of wear was even just one.

Suddenly, Li Sancai felt a trace of anticipation, and simultaneously injected wood spiritual power.

"Senior Brother!"

"Junior Brother Xu!"

"Come out and play!"

Just three words, and the depressed Li Sancai grinned: "Okay!"

Soon, the Big Leaf Grass increased from three people to four.

Perhaps because Hu Bugui was there, it seemed slightly crowded.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but say: "Lao Hu, you should lose weight."

Hu Bugui waved his hand: "At home, I'm the skinniest one."

Xu Zhangqing said irritably: "But here, you're the fattest among us."

Zhao Ziyue mocked even more: "If you were a fish, I couldn't even reel you in, I'd even be dragged into the water and drowned."

Hu Bugui curled his lip: "Tch, you're just jealous of me."

Jealous?

Xu Zhangqing and the other two exchanged a glance, then asked: "Jealous of what?"

Hu Bugui stated as a matter of course: "Jealous that I'm handsome!"

"I..." Xu Zhangqing was stunned.

Zhao Ziyue immediately retorted: "Nonsense, I'm the most handsome among us four."

"You..." Xu Zhangqing doubted his life.

Such a scene amused Li Sancai: "Hehehe!"

The four people made trouble while arriving at Hongfeng Valley Market.

Although, today the sky was cold and the ground frozen, even heavy snow was falling.

But the cultivators coming here to buy New Year goods, even to cross the year, were countless.

Especially the trading points of the Five Great Powers, they were even more packed, a sea of heads.

With Hu Bugui there, the group lacked no meat.

With Xu Zhangqing there, the group lacked no rice and vegetables.

Therefore, they strolled leisurely along the street.

Anyway, they weren't in a hurry to go back.

"Spring couplets engraved with spiritual runes, hey!"

"Water Spirit Root seeking shelter, limited to these few days of the New Year!"

"The hottest cakes from the mortal world, everything you could want!"

It was too lively.

All sorts of people were there.

Xu Zhangqing discovered that Hu Bugui and the others did not care about spring couplets, Fu characters, or hanging lanterns and decorations.

Especially Li Sancai, who even deliberately avoided these things.

It seemed the three of them preferred the lively atmosphere.

The things they bought were either for eating or for drinking.

Among the four, only Xu Zhangqing bought door couplets, Fu characters, and red lanterns.

As they strolled, they also saw an acquaintance.

Zhao Ying!

Back then, one of the four people who became Formal Disciples together.

He now looked much more spirited.

Beside him followed a female Dao Companion of ordinary appearance.

Her belly was a bit large; she should be pregnant.

Judging by her clothing, she was not a Water Spirit Root, but rather a Wood Spirit Root.

Actually, most Spirit Farmers, if they really cannot find a Water Spirit Root, will choose a Wood Spirit Root.

The two farming together, their quality of life would be better.

Zhao Ziyao, who was originally with them, was now nowhere to be found.

Seeing the other party, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but think of another person.

Lin An!

It's been two years; who knows what that kid is doing.

This stroll lasted until evening.

Seeing that it was getting late.

The few people then left.

Because Zhao Ziyue had to return to the Rain Water Pavilion, he took a different route.

Xu Zhangqing, Li Sancai, and Hu Bugui stepped on the Big Leaf Grass and quickly arrived at the fork in the road.

At the moment of parting, Xu Zhangqing asked, "Lao Hu, did Chu Shixiong fight with Mo Sha?"

Hu Bugui was surprised: "How did you know?"

Xu Zhangqing didn't answer, but pressed further: "What was the result?"

Hu Bugui said with a complex expression: "Chu Shixiong won, yet also lost."

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhangqing didn't understand.

Sigh~

Hu Bugui let out a light sigh, then said: "Although Chu Shixiong won, his Contract Spirit Beast He Qi was severely injured. Even if he participates in the Formal Disciple Competition after the New Year, he probably won't make it to the end."

Xu Zhangqing was slightly puzzled: "Even without a Spirit Beast's aid, Chu Shixiong still has Dual Spirit Roots."

Hu Bugui explained: "Spirit Beast and Master share damage; He Qi was injured, so Chu Shixiong was naturally injured as well, and not lightly."

Xu Zhangqing understood.

In this duel, Chu Qiu won against Mo Sha by borrowing the power of the Thousand-year Spirit Beast He Qi.

But because of the injuries, he would miss this Formal Disciple Competition.

The next time he participates will be ten years later.

Afterwards, Hu Bugui summoned his Spirit Beast Camel and left quickly.

Next, Xu Zhangqing and Li Sancai walked on together.

But they hadn't walked the same way for long before it was time to part.

Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands in salute: "Senior Brother, see you next year!"

Li Sancai rarely cupped his hands in return: "See you next year."

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing alone stepped on the Big Leaf Grass, hurrying back against the wind and snow.

Just when he was less than a hundred meters from the Spirit Field, his divine sense detected a person.

Who?

Yu Caiqing!

She stood alone in front of the door, her whole body emanating a bone-piercing chill.

Motionless, like an ice sculpture.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly descended from the Big Leaf Grass and called out: "Senior Sister Yu!"

Hearing the voice, Yu Caiqing turned around and couldn't help but ask: "Where did you go?"

Xu Zhangqing scratched his head: "I went to the Hongfeng Valley Market to buy New Year goods."

Yu Caiqing nodded lightly, realization dawning: "Oh."

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly opened the door: "Senior Sister, please come in."

Yu Caiqing entered the room and looked around, revealing a satisfied smile: "I thought you were no different from other Spirit Farmers; didn't expect you to have a bit of taste."

Xu Zhangqing smiled, placing the purchased New Year goods on the table while asking: "Senior Sister coming to find me so late, is there something?"

Yu Caiqing blinked, counter-questioning: "Still remember the Ice Water Spirit Root I told you about before?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Remember."

Yu Caiqing then said: "Although I bought an Ice Soul Pearl from you, and it indeed can speed up the mutation of the ice-water Spiritual Root, I want it even faster."

Xu Zhangqing showed a curious look: "Faster?"

Yu Caiqing walked forward with lotus steps, speaking with tenderness: "Wood Generates Fire; once the Fire Spiritual Root becomes strong, it will promote the ice-water Spiritual Root to speed up its mutation."

Xu Zhangqing looked at her gentle eyes, smelled the enchanting fragrance emanating from her body, only felt his mouth dry and tongue parched, and after a long while squeezed two words out of his mouth: "Dual Cultivation?"
