Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight flowed down through a gap in the clouds.

A layer of thin white mist covered the fields.

With a "squeak," Xu Zhangqing pulled open the stone house door from the inside, crossed the threshold, and walked out step by step.

Because he had studied Puppetry Runes all night, his spirit was slightly exhausted.

He stretched while taking a deep breath.

The air of early morning.

It had both the unique fresh fragrance of plants and trees and the damp scent of earth mixed in.

After inhaling a few mouthfuls, he felt his nose was a bit congested.

At this moment, Wangwang crawled out of the dog kennel and approached with a fawning smile.

Xu Zhangqing squatted down, rubbed the dog's head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Wangwang, you're not young anymore, shouldn't you find another mate?"

Although Wangwang couldn't understand, he felt he was being praised, so he wagged his tail vigorously.

Xu Zhangqing blinked his eyes upon seeing this: "Alright, since you agree, I'll contact Lao Hu later and help you pick out a few more."

Wangwang bared his mouth, his flowery tongue lolling out, looking overjoyed

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing stood up, his gaze sweeping from left to right over the Five Mu Spirit Fields one by one.

The First Mu was spirit rice.

The Second Mu was Mutant Rice.

The Third Mu and Fourth Mu were both Extreme Yang Medicinal Herbs.

The Fifth Mu was planted with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Now, all the Lingti were exceptionally robust, without any problems.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh: "When I just got promoted, I didn't understand anything; whenever something came up, I had to find others to help. In the blink of an eye, I can now take care of five mu of spirit plants."

Five years of time.

From eighteen years old to twenty-two years old.

From an ordinary spirit farmer to a Spirit Cultivator.

From Qi Refining Early Stage to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

From one mu of Second Grade Spirit Field to five mu.

It must be said, time really flies.

Xu Zhangqing walked under the Four Seasons Fruit Tree, reached out to pick a Fire Flame Fruit, casually rubbed it on his clothes and started eating, saying vaguely: "There are quite a few things to do today."

Wangwang needs breeding.

The guinea fowl also need to increase in number.

I also need to find Han Shidi to come dig a pond.

Even if time permits, I need to go order a new set of clothes.

But the most important point is that there is no Fortress to help.

Daily chores such as cleaning manure, weeding, chopping firewood, and carrying water now all have to be done by himself.

After everything was done and he had eaten breakfast, one hour had passed.

Seeing that it was about time, Xu Zhangqing took out two Communication Talismans.

The first one was Hu Bugui's.

The second one was Han Su's.

"Hello?"

"Slurp~ Lao Xu?"

"Lao Hu, you're eating noodles again?"

"My spirit stones are all in your hands; if not noodles, what do I eat!"

"Uh... then you hold on a bit longer!"

"Slurp~ what do you want from me?"

"Two things: one is to find a mate for Wangwang, and the other is to raise more guinea fowl."

"Guinea fowl are simple; I'll bring some over later. As for finding a mate for Wangwang, it's a bit troublesome; I need to ask around first."

"Alright!"

Soon, the two finished their exchange.

By noon, Hu Bugui would bring twenty guinea fowl over.

As for finding a mate for Wangwang, it cannot be rushed.

After all, Wangwang's physique already far exceeds that of a normal Dog.

For the continuation of the bloodline, the other mate absolutely cannot be too weak.

Immediately after, Xu Zhangqing actively contacted Han Su on the Spiritual Vein side.

This time it didn't connect immediately; instead, he waited for a while before Han Su's voice came from the other side.

"Senior Brother Xu?"

"Han Shidi, I need to dig a pond on my side. When are you free?"

「I might not be able to go now… cough cough cough…」

「What's going on? 」

「I lost in the first match of the preliminary round, beaten into serious injury by my opponent. 」

「Who did it? 」

「That person is called Mo Sha, very powerful, I'm no match for him at all! 」

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

He did not participate in the Formal Disciple Competition; although he knew the preliminary round had already begun, he had no understanding of the situation over there at all.

Unexpectedly, Han Su's first match in the preliminary round actually pitted him against Mo Sha.

This was a ruthless person who almost defeated Chu Qiu.

He even beat Lan Tian into a state of complete collapse.

On the bed, Han Su, his face devoid of blood color, said with an apologetic expression: 「Senior Brother Xu, I'm truly sorry this time, I can't go for now. 」

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly comforted him: 「Rest well, if there's anywhere you need help, just say so. 」

Han Su smiled bitterly: 「Manager Yang said I have poison fire entering my body, just short of invading the internal organs, and need something extremely yin-cold to suppress it. 」

Xu Zhangqing nodded: 「Don't worry, leave this matter to me. 」

Afterwards, the two ended their communication.

Putting down the communication talisman in his hand, Xu Zhangqing furrowed his brow: 「Fortunately I have Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine here, otherwise Han Shidi would probably…」

This Mo Sha is too sinister, ruthless, and vicious.

If it weren't for the Immortal Sect's regulations, he probably could have beaten someone to death.

I just don't know if Chu Qiu and Mo Sha can meet in the preliminary round.

If they meet, it will definitely draw the attention of ten thousand eyes.

After all, the commotion back then was huge.

Next, Xu Zhangqing walked toward the first layer of the basement.

First he poured one or two portions of Extreme Quality Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine.

It wasn't that he was stingy, but this thing's effect was too good.

Eating too much was useless, and instead one would suffer interference from Yin Cold Qi.

Then he poured five jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

With these, it would be enough for Han Su to recover.

After coming out of the first layer of the basement, Xu Zhangqing did not rush to go to the Spiritual Vein.

After all, he had an appointment with Hu Bugui; this guy chose to come at noon, definitely aiming to mooch a meal.

Thinking of how the other person ate noodles all day, he felt some heartache.

Therefore he specially made several dishes.

Purple Ganoderma Spirit Rice Porridge

Ling Cai Chao Dan

Han Yu Gu Dun Bing Mai Ya

Golden Bamboo Shoot Stir-fried Spirit Shrimp

Return to Origin Spirit Mushroom Soup

All belong to Lingfan, with some special effects.

Around noon, Hu Bugui indeed arrived, and he arrived early; before even entering the door he smelled the enticing aroma of the food: 「I say Lao Xu, your cooking keeps getting better. 」

Xu Zhangqing chuckled: 「These days I just farm and cook! 」

Hu Bugui rubbed his hands with a face full of excitement: 「So abundant, it's still Lao Xu you who cares for people; if I were a woman, I would definitely offer myself to you in marriage. 」

Xu Zhangqing rolled his eyes: 「You eat five meals a day, I can't afford to support you. 」

Hu Bugui smiled, then took out a Spirit Beast Ring and handed it over: 「Inside are twenty Pearl Chickens, 2 roosters, 18 hens. 」

Xu Zhangqing took it, probed inside with his spiritual sense, and after confirming it was correct asked: 「I plan to make a pond; what fish do you think would be good to raise? 」

Hu Bugui held a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right; hearing this he pondered: 「Nothing more than fish, shrimp, shellfish, or turtles, tortoises, and such. 」

「Oh? 」Xu Zhangqing looked thoughtful.

Hu Bugui's eyes suddenly brightened: 「Right, a Senior Brother I know has several Radiant Spirit Turtles recently born in his pond. 」

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: 「What kind of spirit beast is a Radiant Spirit Turtle? 」

Hu Bugui explained: 「This kind of turtle can absorb the essence of the sun and moon; at night it will glow, thereby increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the water, greatly benefiting the fish and shrimp in the pond. 」
