Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

After washing up, he changed into clean new clothes.

On Mo Yin's face, one half was resistance, the other half disgust.

He seemed to dislike being controlled by others, or perhaps manipulated.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but ponder: "Better a short pain than a long one; might as well get you promoted in the first batch, then let Senior Brother Lingbi have the headache once you enter the Spirit Field Core."

I'm not a nanny; there's no need to follow behind this guy every day looking after him.

With this time, what couldn't I do?

Mo Yin sat on the hard wooden bed, back against the cold wall, and said resentfully: "You, annoying!"

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: "Is it so bad having someone care about you?"

Mo Yin froze: "You..."

Xu Changqing said melancholically: "I have no father, no mother, not even a family member."

Mo Yin instantly couldn't speak, an inexplicable glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "As for the Spirit Field, I'll personally help you transplant seedlings; you just don't go messing things up."

Then he closed the door and walked toward the other side.

After confirming the person had gone far, Mo Yin finally relaxed, lowering his eyelids, eyes half-closed, and muttered in a low voice: "What realm is this person exactly? You almost didn't detect him?"

"I know, only you are good to me!"

"But that person is right; enter the Spirit Field Core first, and I won't be eliminated!"

"Only by becoming a Formal Disciple can I access High Rank Cultivation Methods, spells, and resources!"

A faint sound came from the room.

However, whether it was people living nearby or passersby, they all took it for granted.

They knew this fool would talk to himself alone.

On the other side, Xu Changqing found Lin Ya, the Formal Disciple guarding the Spirit Field Outer Perimeter.

Originally she should have been busy, but now she was remarkably leisurely.

The window was open.

On one side she was steeping hot tea.

On the other side she was gazing at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, a familiar face entered her sight.

Xu Changqing smiled and greeted: "Junior Sister Lin, how leisurely you are!"

Lin Ya was startled; after reacting she immediately stood up to welcome him: "Senior Brother Xu, quickly come in and rest."

Xu Changqing walked in through the open wooden door, his gaze sweeping casually over the room interior.

The room's decor was extremely simple and plain.

Aside from a few books, there was only cake after cake of fragrant tea leaves stacked up.

It seems this Junior Sister Lin really likes drinking tea.

That's normal too; after all, a Wood Spirit Root is innately close to nature.

Lin Ya pointed to a wooden stool nearby and said: "Senior Brother Xu, please sit. Why do you have time to come find me today?"

Although these words weren't exactly sarcastic, they carried a touch of mockery.

As the Formal Disciple guarding the Spirit Field.

By rights, she should have been sought after and surrounded by Outer Disciples.

But now, she had stubbornly had all the limelight snatched away by this Assessment Disciple before her.

Of course, there were those who took an unconventional approach, wanting to curry favor, even marry into the family.

But every single one was either mediocre in aptitude or ugly as sin.

Xu Changqing countered instead: "Has Senior Sister Lu talked to you about Mo Yin's matter?"

Lin Ya replied: "She mentioned this person is special, to be arranged into the Spirit Field Core."

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, then continued: "Then let's speak frankly."

"What do you mean?" Lin Ya was a bit puzzled.

Xu Changqing said seriously: "As the saying goes, better a short pain than a long one; let Mo Yin get promoted early, and the two of us can be free of this early."

Lin Ya wasn't stupid either; she understood at once: "You want him promoted in the first quarter?"

"Correct." Xu Changqing affirmed.

Lin Ya pointed at the First Grade Spirit Field outside and said: "Although we can pull strings, at least the inside must be fully planted with seedlings, and the yield can't be too low, right?"

Xu Changqing nodded: "Rest assured, I'll personally plant them; I'll absolutely meet the 1000 jin quota."

Lin Ya's expression eased: "Since Senior Brother Xu is handling it, there definitely won't be a problem."

This trip of Xu Changqing's was actually to confirm one thing.

Whether Lu Yuanyuan knew or didn't know about this Mo Yin person.

If she didn't know, he'd have a good talk with Lin Ya.

He might even have to give something valuable.

Now it can be confirmed: Li Lingbi has already communicated with Lu Yuanyuan in advance.

In this way, there would be no more worries for the future.

Xu Zhangqing planned to help Mo Yin plant spiritual seedlings, so that when the other party's first batch got promoted, he himself would gain a fifth mu of Second Grade Spirit Field.

Next, the two chatted rather casually.

For example, what they liked to eat.

What colors they liked.

What hobbies and interests they had, things like that.

Xu Zhangqing discovered that this Junior Sister Lin before him was very interested in him.

Admiration was plain to see.

Seeing this, he did not stay any longer, but rose and left.

Lin Ya saw him to the door, eyes full of expectation, and said: "Senior Brother Xu, come often when you're free!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing waved his hand without looking back.

After walking far away, he did not go to the room arranged for him.

Instead, he went all the way down, continuously going deeper into the First Grade Spirit Field.

Although the Wood Spirit Qi content drifting here could not compare to the Spirit Field Core.

But it was still better than nothing.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing chose a spot with higher terrain, sat cross-legged, and immediately took out a top-grade Foundation Spirit Pill and a bottle of top-grade Yellow Rice Wine.

He swallowed the pill with the wine.

An astonishing effect manifested.

In an instant, his whole person became exceptionally excited.

Immediately, he circulated the Full Level Qinglian Zanghua Gong, beginning to absorb the Wood Spirit Qi here.

If Outer Disciples were likened to small fish and shrimp.

Then the current Xu Zhangqing was a massive whale.

With various effects stacking, the Wood Spirit Qi inhaled into his body was gradually refined.

The Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea increased bit by bit at a very stable speed.

"How did the Wood Spirit Qi decrease?"

"There was quite a lot just now!"

"How strange."

Although Xu Zhangqing's position was already far from the majority of Outer Disciples.

But there was no help for it; his absorption speed was too fast, his refining efficiency too astonishing.

Therefore his coverage range was wider, still affecting quite a few Outer Disciples.

They could only move to even farther positions before returning to normal.

Another day passed, arriving at the day the Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine could be drunk.

Although Chu Qiu indeed participated in the Formal Disciple Competition.

But because there were too many people, he wasn't assigned an opponent for two days straight.

Xu Zhangqing put one jin of Ice Heart Wine into a jade pot, then walked out from the first layer of the basement.

At this moment, the impatient Chu Qiu suddenly stood up, both eyes fixed straight on the wine pot emitting an astonishing chill: "Finally... finally!"

Xu Zhangqing held it out with both hands and instructed: "Chu Shixiong, it's best not to drink this wine at night, try to drink it during the day to balance yin and yang."

Chu Qiu hurriedly received it with his hands, then said gratefully: "Junior Brother Xu, if this can heal my injuries, you'll be the person I trust most in the Immortal Sect."

Xu Zhangqing said half-jokingly: "We're our own people, why stand on ceremony?"

Chu Qiu froze for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "Indeed!"

Xu Zhangqing asked with a smile: "Then Chu Shixiong, are you going back or...?"

Chu Qiu took a deep breath, then cupped his fists in salute: "Please stand guard for me, Junior Brother!"
