Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Feeling the Wood Spirit Power constantly growing in his Qi Sea, Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "At the current speed, perhaps before Lixia I can break through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

If it were someone else, or a normal cultivator, they would need at least several years.

Xu Zhangqing's comprehension and aptitude were both ordinary; logically it was impossible for him to cultivate this fast. The main reason was actually the heaven-defying speed produced by stacking various effects such as premium pills, premium Yellow Rice Wine, and full-level high-rank cultivation methods.

If it were Dual Spirit Root Chu Qiu or Three Spirit Roots Li Lingbi, and they had these things to assist them just the same, they might have already broken through to Golden Core and ascended Xianfeng.

At this moment, Wangwang and the guinea fowl approached again, and as usual did not disturb their Master, merely staying at the side, lying down as if resting.

Although they had not yet awakened their spiritual intelligence and could not cultivate, as long as they stayed by Xu Zhangqing's side and absorbed the scattered Spiritual Energy, they still gained immense benefit.

Even the fortress handling daily affairs on the other side was subconsciously approaching.

This cultivation session truly made him forget sleep and food.

It lasted continuously from morning until afternoon.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, he finally stopped.

"Hah!" Xu Zhangqing felt completely refreshed all over, and couldn't help but stretch lazily.

He opened his eyes and found that the area around him was full of verdant green weeds.

And only near himself were there any.

Other places were still completely bare.

Seeing Wangwang and the guinea fowl both lying at the side, even showing expressions of intoxication, Xu Zhangqing, just like last time, did not startle them, and quietly got up and walked toward the Stone House.

When he passed by the fortress, however, he was surprised to discover that it had actually sprouted tender buds.

Although this Yanshi Puppet was made of wood.

But sprouting tender buds was truly the first time he had seen it.

At least it had never happened before previously.

Xu Zhangqing quickly swept his spiritual sense over it: "The Wood Spirit Qi inside it is very rich; could it be a Growth-type Puppet?"

At this moment, Lin An came forward to greet him: "Senior Brother Xu, have you finished cultivating?"

Xu Zhangqing looked at him, seeing that this fellow was full of spirit, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems your cultivation realm has improved."

Lin An hastily cupped his hands in salute: "All thanks to your help!"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Don't be polite. I'm preparing to make dinner; come over later to eat."

"Okay." Lin An nodded.

……

……

A few days later.

Xu Zhangqing was sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Field Ridge absorbing Wood Spirit Qi.

Suddenly, a Fire Crow above let out a "ga wu" alert cry.

His heart stirred, and he immediately switched to Shared Vision.

Soon he discovered that on the other side, two Flying Paper Cranes were approaching.

One of them was very familiar: it was San Cai Senior Brother.

The other person he had never seen before; they were very strange.

But the other person was likewise wearing the white clothing of a Formal Disciple, with a pattern of green rice seedlings on the chest.

Obviously, this was also a Wood Spirit Root Spirit Farmer.

Xu Zhangqing felt doubtful: "Normally, Senior Brother Li wouldn't come here personally, and even less likely would he bring a stranger. I reckon there's something up."

Not long after, Li Sancai and that strange Spirit Farmer arrived.

Xu Zhangqing greeted them with a smile: "Senior Brother Li, who is this?"

Li Sancai introduced: "Junior Brother, this Senior Brother is named Li Chun."

He is likewise a Wood Spirit Root Spirit Farmer, and joined the Spirit Field Core over ten years earlier than us; now he works by Hua Lao's side."

Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands: "Senior Brother Li Chun!"

Li Chun smiled faintly: "Junior Brother Xu, Hua Lao has mentioned you many times in my presence."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Hua Lao mentioned me?"

Li Chun nodded slightly: "In the entire Spirit Field Core, those who can cultivate Top-grade Spirit Rice, although not nonexistent, are few and far between."

Most are old-timers who have joined the Spirit Field Core for decades; someone as young as you is few and far between."

Not only can they cultivate Top-grade Spirit Rice.

But they also stably complete tasks every year.

Such a Spirit Farmer is truly too rare.

Xu Zhangqing thoughtfully said: "Is that so?"

Li Chun affirmed: "Indeed there are a few, and even one of them joined the Spirit Field only last year—a newcomer newer than you."

Although Xu Zhangqing was surprised, he did not feel surprised, and then pointed to the Stone House, saying: "Two Senior Brothers, let's go inside and chat while drinking tea."

"Okay." Li Sancai and Li Chun naturally would not refuse.

But as they walked along, Li Sancai suddenly froze, then asked in surprise: "Junior Brother, how do you have four mu of Spirit Field?"

Xu Zhangqing waved toward Lin An not far away and explained: "This newly added fourth mu of Spirit Field originally belonged to my friend; now we manage it together."

Lin An stepped forward, cupped his hands in a bow, and said respectfully, "Greetings, two Senior Brothers!"

Regarding this explanation, Li Sancai still felt conflicted.

After all, he had come to the Spirit Field Core for many years.

Relying on his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage realm, he possessed three mu of spirit fields.

As it turned out, Xu Zhangqing had only joined a few years ago, had only just broken through to Foundation Establishment Early Stage, yet already possessed four mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields.

Li Chun suddenly realized, "I remember now; I personally handled the paperwork for transferring the spirit fields."

Xu Zhangqing smiled, "What a coincidence!"

Soon, the four entered the stone house.

Lin An walked toward the kitchen and began brewing tea.

What tea leaves?

Naturally, Youlan Mist Tea!

Neither Li Sancai nor Li Chun were ordinary spirit farmers, so ordinary tea leaves could not be used to entertain them.

Lin An still had this bit of discernment.

Taking advantage of the time spent brewing tea, Xu Zhangqing asked, "Two Senior Brothers, what brings you to see me this time?"

Li Chun immediately said, "There are two matters."

"Oh?" Xu Zhangqing seemed slightly surprised.

Li Chun raised the index finger of his right hand and continued, "The first matter is to ask if you will participate in this year's Formal Disciple Competition; I need to tally the list."

Xu Zhangqing immediately shook his head, "I am not interested in fighting and killing; I only think about farming, so I will not participate."

Hearing this, Li Chun showed a hint of admiration in his eyes, then continued, "Very well, then let us focus on the second matter."

Xu Zhangqing said nothing, merely looking at him curiously.

Li Chun raised a second finger and continued, "The second matter: new Outer Disciples will soon be recruited at the Ling Tian Periphery, and an Inner Sect Disciple is needed to assess them. Junior Brother Li Sancai, Junior Brother Zhang Su, and even Hua Lao are all recommending you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhangqing was stunned, "Let me guard the Ling Tian Periphery?"

Li Sancai coughed lightly and immediately hinted, "Junior Brother Xu, go to the periphery to exercise; it will only benefit you."

Xu Zhangqing understood the other's meaning, but furrowed his brow, "If it were not planting season, I could indeed go take a look, but now that the Spring Seedlings have just been put into the earth... there cannot be no one to manage them."

Li Chun immediately said, "Junior Brother Xu, rest assured; you are not being asked to guard the spirit fields long-term. That task will be completed by another Formal Disciple; you are going to assess."

That is to say, unlike Li Sancai, you are not going to guard the Ling Tian Periphery for one year.

But rather like Zhang Er, only appearing when the assessment takes place.

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Li Sancai, then looked at Li Chun; seeing that both had subtle expressions, he knew that refusing again would be a bit of spurning kindness, so he nodded and said, "Good!"
