Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
The cold wind of winter still howled.
Though the extreme cold froze everything outside, it could not seal in the warmth inside the house.
Xu Zhangqing lay on the spacious nanmu bed, covered by a thin silkworm silk mattress, with a warm, soft jade-like beauty nestled in his right arm.
Who?
Naturally Yu Caiqing!
The two of them were now in the state after dual cultivation had ended.
Not only were they not tired, they were full of spirit.
"Elder Sister!"
"Mm?"
"It's still early, how about..."
Time came to morning.
Xu Zhangqing prepared breakfast, specially simmering a pot of richly fragrant top-grade spirit rice porridge.
The side dishes were "chopped chili"
"sweet and sour crisp radish"
"chicken meatballs".
Though they looked simple, the quality was absolutely beyond question.
Apart from the chicken meatballs, the chopped chili was top-grade chili pepper cultivated by himself.
The sweet and sour crisp radish was likewise top-grade white radish cultivated by himself.
Especially this chopped chili, it was one of his exclusive sauces specially prepared for this Formal Disciple Competition.
Though he could not achieve a one-to-one restoration, the taste was at least seventy percent similar.
At this moment, Yu Caiqing came downstairs wrapped in a thin gauze.
Seeing this scene, her icy face instantly melted into a sweet smile.
A sense of happiness arose spontaneously.
Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Elder Sister, breakfast is ready, come eat."
Yu Caiqing smelled the tempting aroma in the air and couldn't help but praise: "It seems you are not only talented in planting, your skill in lingfan is also first-rate."
Xu Zhangqing smiled: "It's alright."
Then he specially served her a small bowl of top-grade spirit rice porridge.
As for the side dishes, because he didn't know her taste, he didn't put them in.
Yu Caiqing slowly sat down, her scallion-white right hand picking up the wooden spoon beside her, gently stirring the spirit rice porridge in the porcelain bowl.
The thick rice paste was like congealed fat.
The rice grains were wrapped in a lustrous sheen.
In the rising steam, the unique fragrance of lingti spread.
Though she hadn't eaten yet, just looking at it whetted her appetite.
Afterwards, Yu Caiqing scooped up a spoonful, taking advantage of the warmth to put it in her mouth, and instantly her eyes brightened.
The soft, glutinous rice grains melted on the tip of her tongue without chewing.
The clear sweet taste quickly spread across her taste buds.
Looking ordinary, even commonplace, spirit rice porridge.
Under the enhancement of Xu Zhangqing's lingfan skill, it actually became so delicious.
Xu Zhangqing asked with a smiling face: "How is it?"
Yu Caiqing nodded lightly: "Delicious, full of flavor, rich in spiritual energy!"
Such rich spiritual energy, without guessing one could know it was definitely top-grade spirit rice.
The person before her was indeed a Foundation Establishment Stage spirit farmer, and her planting talent was extraordinary.
If it were someone else, being able to eat high-quality spirit rice would count as living comfortably.
As for top-grade spirit rice, if it was just used to make porridge, it was truly extravagant.
Xu Zhangqing pointed to the side dishes and said: "These few are all pickled vegetables I made myself, Elder Sister can try them appropriately."
Hearing this, Yu Caiqing immediately picked up the chopsticks on the left side, clamped a few strands and put them in her mouth.
The taste was salty and fresh with a sweet aftertaste, the texture crisp and tender, relieving greasiness.
Paired with the spirit rice porridge, it had a unique flavor.
Seeing the other party was satisfied, Xu Zhangqing then served himself a bowl, eating while asking: "Elder Sister, do you know Youquan?"
Yu Caiqing nodded slightly: "I know, she is also a Senior Alchemist, but this person is very mysterious, rarely seen usually, and the pills she refines are relatively obscure."
"Obscure?" Xu Zhangqing showed a curious look.
Yu Caiqing raised her willow eyebrows slightly: "For example, Poison Pills!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing immediately understood, deeply agreeing: "Indeed somewhat obscure."
Pills and medicine actually share the same source.
Most who can refine pills can also treat illness.
But poison pills are comparatively extreme.
It is said that the more poisonous, the better the effect, but the faster one dies.
Unexpectedly, this Senior Alchemist named You Quan follows this style.
Yu Caiqing asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
Xu Changqing said truthfully, "A Senior Brother plans to introduce me to You Quan."
Hearing this, Yu Caiqing's expression turned somewhat serious as she reminded him, "Getting to know him is fine, after all poison pills have their methods, but you absolutely must not get too close to this person, otherwise trouble will easily arise."
"Alright." Xu Changqing responded.
Afterwards, the two chatted idly while eating porridge.
In winter, especially these few days just after the New Year, one truly doesn't know what to do.
Therefore, after eating breakfast, the two went back upstairs.
When afternoon came, Lin An returned.
Xu Changqing stood on the balcony looking at him: "Are things all settled?"
Lin An chuckled: "Everything that needs settling is settled. In a few days, the Earth Spirit Root Disciple from the Spiritual Vein side will come to open up Ling Field Fourth Mu."
Hearing this, Xu Changqing glanced around, roughly estimated the distance and position, and thought it should just barely be able to approach Stone Mountain.
As long as it borders it, even if no one admits it, Stone Mountain will be counted as his own territory.
By then, once the fence is set up and the Spiritual Array is in place, whatever happens, happens.
In other words, on the surface it seems like Four Mu Second Grade Spirit Fields.
But actually it is equivalent to Five Mu.
After all, beneath this Stone Mountain there is also a large expanse of Black Soil.
The only drawback is that the internal space inside is too narrow.
Hmm... then let's call it Four and a Half Mu.
At this moment, Yu Caiqing's inquiry came from inside the house: "You want to add another mu of spirit field?"
Xu Changqing said without turning back: "Elder Sister, let me introduce.
This is my Cooperative Partner, named Lin An.
Also a Wood Spirit Root, and now his spirit field is managed, planted, and cultivated by me."
"Someone else?" Lin An said in surprise.
Soon, a beautiful face entered Shi Jian.
Her skin was whiter than snow, delicate as mutton-fat jade.
She had an air of cold detachment, as if not eating the smoke and fire of the mortal world.
Looking at the two leaning on the balcony, he instantly understood.
Good Fellow, Senior Brother Xu actually has a Dao Companion without making a sound.
What is a winner in life?
This is a winner in life!
As a result, Lin An felt somewhat at a loss, feeling that the timing was not right.
At this time, Xu Changqing continued asking: "Where will you live, have you decided?"
Lin An glanced at Yu Caiqing, then said with an embarrassed face: "My original idea was to build the house beside your Stone House, but now it seems I should think about it again."
Having a man and a woman is nothing in itself.
The fear is that one of them is a single dog.
Being a light bulb during the day.
And suffering torment at night.
Xu Changqing saw the other's concern and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Elder Sister Yu won't be here every day; she is also an Alchemist in Di Huo Qu."
Upon hearing this, Lin An was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling: "Another Alchemist?"
Seeing his such a big reaction, Xu Changqing was also very surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin An's heart became complicated; he originally envied Senior Brother Xu who was like a winner in life, but now seeing that the other also had to submit to the Alchemist's pomegranate skirt, he instantly showed a sympathetic look: "No, I'm just not quite used to the life out here yet!"
