Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Midsummer night.

A disc-like Yue'er hung high in the center of the sky.

Pure moonlight draped a layer of hazy silver gauze over the Spirit Field.

The Lingti swayed gently in the breeze, making faint rustling sounds.

The pond was like a mirror, reflecting the stars across the sky; a meteor trailed silver light as it streaked across, and just then ripples spread across the water's surface, making it look as if it had fallen into them.

Chirp chirp!

Croak!

Insect chirps and frog croaks rose and fell one after another.

Countless fireflies flickered with a yellow glow under the night curtain.

Spirit Field, pond, moonlight, stars, insect chirps, frog croaks, fireflies.

This... was a summer night, and also a childhood that could never be returned to.

A cool breeze blew, tousling Xu Zhangqing's long hair on his forehead.

But his target had not changed; he walked straight toward the pond.

The village dog Wangwang grinned, trotting behind him.

When he reached the pond, Xu Zhangqing moved two items out from the Lightly Vitality Gourd.

One was a Spirit Beast Ring.

One was a Ning Shui Zhu.

He probed his spiritual sense into the Spirit Beast Ring and found it was not empty space, but a mass of water.

Floating on the water was a small turtle not yet palm-sized, emitting a white glow, drifting lazily, completely motionless.

Under the water were twenty carp fry with red tails.

Though they were all aquatic creatures, there was a sense of hierarchy between them.

Xu Zhangqing shook his hand, and everything in the Spirit Beast Ring, whether the Guang Ling Turtle or the Red-tailed Carp, was all poured into the pond before him.

One turtle.

Twenty Red-tailed Carp.

To them, the not-large pond seemed like a vast new world.

As soon as the Guang Ling Turtle entered the water, as if attracted by the array, it immediately swam over, and at the same time the white glow on its body began to flicker.

This showed it had begun absorbing the spiritual energy in the water.

Meanwhile, the twenty somewhat panicked Red-tailed Carp were exploring their new home bit by bit.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing shifted his gaze to the Ning Shui Zhu, where five Dragon Fish, entirely red yet glinting with golden light, were swimming about listlessly inside.

Raised for so long, they could finally be released.

Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, and the Dragon Fish in the Ning Shui Zhu fell into the water one after another.

As soon as they appeared, whether the Guang Ling Turtle or the Red-tailed Carp, they were all instantly too frightened to move, as if collectively frozen.

Originally, the Guang Ling Turtle was stronger than the Red-tailed Carp.

But now the appearance of the Dragon Fish obviously broke their relationship.

From the looks of it, the Guang Ling Turtle had gone from being the boss to Lao Liu, and as for the twenty tiny Red-tailed Carp, they were incomparably humble, with no status whatsoever.

The five Dragon Fish looked at their new home and felt no excitement.

Xu Zhangqing even sensed... intense disdain.

Back in Black Dragon Pool, how spacious it had been.

But now this pond was ultimately a bit small for them.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing laughed and cried at once: "Being able to let you out is already good enough, yet you're picky one by one; if it really won't do, I'll throw you back into the Ning Shui Zhu."

Perhaps these words took effect, and only then did the five Dragon Fish swim toward the deep water area.

Black Dragon Pool was good, but they could never return.

As for the Ning Shui Zhu, they could not accept it even more.

Though the pond was small, at least they could swim around inside it.

Slurp~

Slurp~

Wangwang pretended to lick the water in the pond, his pair of greasy green eyes staring fixedly at the Dragon Fish and Red-tailed Carp swimming inside.

Bang!

Suddenly, his head was struck hard.

He almost bit his tongue, frightened into leaping several meters to the other side, then looked back in lingering shock, discovering that the one who struck him was actually his Master.

Instantly, Wangwang revealed a pitiful expression, looking especially wronged.

Xu Zhangqing glared, his expression serious as he warned: "These are not ordinary fish; if you're foul-mouthed enough to bite one dead, you'll be in the same coop as the guinea fowl from now on."

Wangwang's tail, originally held high, instantly drooped.

Xu Zhangqing thought of something and coldly smiled again: "By then, I won't find you another mate either; from now on, be a single dog!"

Wangwang rolled his eyes, put on a full face of flattering smiles, and came forward, rubbing against his thigh.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "How did you, this stupid dog, become so sharp?"

Before, it wasn't this clever or sensible.

Without a beating, it absolutely wouldn't learn its lesson.

But now, just a verbal scare and it immediately behaved.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing watched by the pond for a while; seeing the dragon fish, light spirit turtles, and twenty red-tailed carp inside had no discomfort, he turned and walked toward the stone house.

But he didn't sleep; instead he leaped onto the roof and lay down on it.

Pillowing his head with both hands.

Gazing at the vast sky full of stars.

Summer, especially nights, he rarely stayed in the room.

Most of the time he would lie on the roof, not thinking about anything, just emptying himself, appearing exceptionally relaxed.

"Woof woof!"

At this moment, Wangwang's bark came from below.

Xu Zhangqing propped himself up to look and discovered it had actually come to the second-floor balcony.

It wanted to come up but didn't know how, looking extremely anxious.

Xu Zhangqing was quite surprised; he mobilized the wood spirit power in his qi sea and beckoned at the dog below, and it was instantly sucked up.

In a blink, it became one person and one dog lying on the roof.

Xu Zhangqing pillowed his left hand and stroked Wangwang's fluffy head with his right hand.

Time quietly passed; it soon fell asleep, its mouth even making "purring" sounds.

Xu Zhangqing, however, did not rest — not because the noise kept him awake, but because he was delving into the Four Seasons Classic.

This is an Earth-grade cultivation method; its effects are far more powerful than the Changqing Jue and Wood Spirit Cultivation Art.

If he could learn it earlier, he could cultivate spirit plants even better.

After all, any spirit plant master must learn this Earth-grade cultivation method.

Because this cultivation method is extremely iconic, it is equivalent to another symbol of identity.

Unknown how long passed; fireflies disappeared one by one, insect chirps and frog croaks gradually weakened.

Suddenly, Xu Zhangqing had a flash of insight and looked at the attribute panel.

Four Seasons Classic: First Layer

Effect 1: Infuse wood spirit energy into ungerminated seeds, accelerate germination speed by 30%

Whether to consume 4 years of lifespan to upgrade Four Seasons Classic to Second Layer?

"Only 1 effect?"

Although Xu Zhangqing was doubtful in his heart, he did not hesitate: "No, I choose to go all in!"

Whether to consume 40 years of lifespan to upgrade Four Seasons Classic to Fourth Layer?

Seeing this for so long, Xu Zhangqing was quite shocked, but still chose: "Yes."

Instantly, the whole person entered a profound and mysterious enlightenment state.

Combining his own experience and techniques with spirit plants, more and more gains emerged.

The duration was longer than any previous comprehension of any cultivation method, spell, or skill.

When he detached from the state, the attribute panel changed again.
