Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

The Yang Shu is inherently a tree that grows rapidly and has strong adaptability.

As long as the water volume is large.

Sunlight is sufficient.

During the sapling stage, it can basically grow one meter in a year.

Even in the mature stage, it can achieve growing one meter in two years.

The Yang Shu before Xu Changqing's eyes has already passed the sapling stage and is currently in the mature stage.

According to the normal growth rate, it grows about half a meter or a bit more per year, after all the sunlight is sufficient, and there is a water channel right beside it, so it will not lack water.

But now, under the powerful effect of the Green Lotus Domain, it is increasing in height bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its branches and leaves are becoming increasingly lush.

Not long after, it broke through to five meters, already about as tall as the stone house next to it.

The Wood Spirit Qi lost internally is now also slowly recovering.

Such a change instantly attracted the attention of the fortress not far away; it instinctively approached, but because Xu Changqing was in front, it maintained a distance of about three meters, then stared fixedly without moving.

Such a posture was completely unlike a puppet.

Xu Changqing glanced at it askance, thinking secretly in his heart: "Before, I already felt it was off; it seemed exceptionally sensitive to Wood-attribute things."

At first, I thought it was resonance and attraction due to the same attribute.

Looking at it now, perhaps there is another reason inside.

Rumors say that some Yanshi Puppets are refined using the corpses of cultivators.

Could it be???

As time quietly passed, the Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea was completely exhausted.

Xu Changqing interrupted the Green Lotus Domain, then withdrew the Companion Green Lotus.

The current Yang Shu is already a whole section taller than the double-story stone house on the side.

It looks luxuriant with branches and leaves, full of green vitality.

The branches and leaves are like an umbrella-shaped green crown.

Dense Wood Spirit Qi emanates from its interior.

And it is regular, as if breathing, extremely marvelous.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but nod: "This Yang Shu that has undergone a qualitative transformation attracts Wood Spirit Qi with an effect comparable to a Spirit Gathering Array, and even more pure."

From now on, the places for absorbing Wood Spirit Qi are not only the Spirit Fields.

Even staying under the Yang Shu has the same effect.

At this moment, his heart was filled with incomparable anticipation.

In the future, the Yang Shu might very well bring unexpected surprises.

Afterwards, Xu Changqing turned and walked toward the stone house.

When passing by the fortress, he deliberately swept it with his divine sense.

He was instantly surprised to discover that it had even more tender shoots on its body.

Previously, the fortress had been staying under the Yang Shu, absorbing the Wood Spirit Qi that overflowed out.

Many places on its body, especially the shoulders and chest, had sprouted green tender shoots one after another.

How long has it been, and its whole body is actually covered in them.

Could it be that while the Yang Shu grows and evolves, the fortress likewise obtains a gift in return.

Then the matter becomes... much more interesting.

He observed for a while longer, and seeing no other situation, Xu Changqing only then entered the stone house.

On one hand boiling water and cooking.

On the other hand recovering the Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea.

……

……

Time flew by, and it arrived at the second day.

The third quarter of the Si hour.

Equivalent to 9:30 AM.

Xu Changqing deliberately tidied up a bit, then brought twenty jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine and left the stone house.

But he did not go directly to the Rain Water Pavilion; instead, he went to meet up with Senior Brother Li first.

At that time, the two of them would go together to see Li Lingbi.

Not long after, Xu Changqing saw Li Sancai drinking tea in the pavilion.

He is now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and already possesses Three Mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields.

Not long after the Start of Summer had passed, all of them were fully planted with Spirit Plants.

Especially the second mu in the middle, which was even planted full of Gold Rice Spirit Gathering Rice.

It can be seen that the rice seedlings were cultivated well; the growth momentum is very good.

After landing, Xu Changqing greeted him: "Senior Brother!"

Li Sancai raised his eyebrows: "You are now a Spirit Nurturer, so why are you still wearing the attire of a Formal Disciple? At home it doesn't matter, but when going out you should still change into something better."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled readily: "Alright, I'll change later."

Li Sancai continued: "With your current identity and status, you can completely afford a full set, even several sets of higher-quality clothing; a matter concerning face cannot be careless."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Understood."

Afterwards, the two stepped on the Big Leaf Grass and rose into the air.

Flying directly toward the direction of Yu Shui Ge Er Lou.

Along the way, they chatted idly.

"Junior Brother, don't forget those 3000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones; just take out a portion to buy clothes!"

"Does it need to cost this much?"

"More has more benefits, but in the end it depends on your own choice."

Chatting as they went, the two arrived at Hei Hu.

Summer, Xuanwu fell into dormancy.

Teng She appeared again, but did not make trouble.

Just swimming back and forth in the water, relying on its huge body to stir up raging waves.

Scaring the surrounding fish into darting about in panic, looking extremely flustered.

Regarding this, whether Xu Zhangqing or Li Sancai, both had already seen it so often it was no longer strange.

Although they came to Yu Shui Ge few times, they were also not as shocked as the first time they encountered it.

If in the past, entering Yu Shui Ge required a Water Spirit Root Disciple to vouch.

This time, the two came to see Li Lingbi, therefore no one dared to stop them.

After entering inside, they discovered it was exceptionally lively.

Everywhere were Water Spirit Root Disciples.

Regardless of male or female, every one was very spirited.

"Senior Brother Lingbi returned?"

"This time, he should be going into seclusion to attack Earth Grade Golden Core!"

"Once successful, he will surely soar to the heavens!"

Sure enough, the content these Water Spirit Roots chatted about basically all related to Li Lingbi.

As for the former Formal Disciple number one Lan Tian, everyone no longer paid attention.

Xu Zhangqing and Li Sancai went all the way without stopping, heading directly for Yu Shui Ge Er Lou's second floor.

After going up, they discovered compared to the first floor hall, there were many fewer people here.

Almost at a glance they saw the genius figure surrounded by the crowd, Li Lingbi.

Li Sancai called out: "Ling Bi!"

Xu Zhangqing followed closely behind: "Senior Brother Lingbi!"

The crowd originally surrounding Li Lingbi all tactfully made way.

When they saw the Pei Ling Shi Token hanging at Xu Zhangqing's waist, each and every one was shocked beyond measure.

The Pei Ling Shi in the Spirit Field.

Equivalent to Yu Shui Ge's Rain Master.

Whether identity, status, or even strength, far beyond what they could compare to.

Li Lingbi was sitting; seeing people arrive, he immediately stood up: "Cousin, Junior Brother Changqing!"

Xu Zhangqing stood behind Li Sancai, sizing up Li Lingbi after two years apart.

The once warm and gentle face like spring water had now been tempered into cold, hard lines.

His complexion was no longer the transparent white common to Water Spirit Roots, but cold porcelain weathered by wind and frost.

His current gaze, firm with a touch of sharpness, as if an unsheathed sharp blade.

On the outside was a pale blue mysterious armor crafted from monster scales.

Inside was a white soft armor woven from Ice Silkworm Silk.

His whole person exuded a powerful aura attempting to overwhelm the crowd.

Among everyone, only Li Sancai dared step forward and embrace the other, even half-jokingly saying: "Cousin, you've become much more mature than before."

Li Lingbi smiled slightly: "You've been to the Central Region, you know how dangerous it is!"

Li Sancai stepped back, sizing him up while asking: "This time returning, you should be preparing to go into seclusion to break through to Earth Grade Golden Core, right?"

As these words came out, everyone pricked up their ears, eyes full of anticipation.
