Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Seeing two things fall out, Xu Zhangqing was first stunned, then picked them up curiously.
The first item was already considered an old acquaintance.
A small fragment of the Xiangsi Ersheng Tree.
As for the second item, the moment Xu Zhangqing touched it, he immediately felt a stabbing pain.
If not for the Xuanmu Golden Body Technique pulled to Full Level, he would likely have been injured.
When a person or object makes contact, this round bone sphere releases sharp Sword Intent at all times, still instinctively protecting its Master.
Unsurprisingly, this is the Ming Sword Pill refined from the occipital bone.
Moreover, it can grow.
Able to advance from a Spirit Tool to a Magic Tool, and even higher.
Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes, was thoughtful, then leaped up, instantly jumping back to the ground.
Immediately after, he manipulated the surrounding Earth Qi, fusing the separated soil back together until it looked no different from before, only then shifting his attention back to Yang Shu.
Sure enough, with the Dried Corpse that had been snatching Spiritual Energy from below gone, Yang Shu, which had originally looked sickly, pitiful, weak, and helpless, now regained its vitality.
The branches and leaves that had shrunk back once again extended toward the surroundings.
Seemingly perceiving Xu Zhangqing's gaze, Yang Shu trembled slightly all over, unknown whether from excitement or gratitude.
Or perhaps both.
In short, Yang Shu released absolute goodwill and a sense of closeness toward Xu Zhangqing.
This surprised him slightly.
When he first moved here, he had been quite "enthusiastic" toward this tree.
All the spells he had learned, he cast them all on it.
Who would have thought, he stubbornly forced it from an ordinary poplar tree into a Poplar Spirit.
Seemingly a one-character difference, but actually worlds apart.
An ordinary tree can be chopped down at will.
But a Poplar Spirit is different; it can bring benefits to this area.
The longer it lives, the greater the benefits.
Whether the concentration of Wood Spirit Qi.
Or Earth Spirit Qi, that is, the concentration of Earth Qi.
It can even serve to protect the dwelling and ward off evil.
In short, this kind of benefit manifests in all aspects.
Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Let's coexist harmoniously from now on."
Rustle rustle!
Yang Shu's trembling frequency became even faster.
Judging by the look of it, it should have agreed.
Actually, given the current situation, even if it didn't want to agree, it would have to agree.
If Xu Zhangqing really wanted to act, dealing with this mere ten-year Dao Xing Poplar Spirit would be a one-finger matter.
Of course, this one finger doesn't mean poking with a finger, but... Full Level Blazing Yang Finger!
Immediately after, Xu Zhangqing turned and walked toward the Stone House, starting to prepare today's breakfast.
After he and Wangwang finished eating, he took the Top-grade Spirit Rice and came before this group of Pearl Chickens.
The first raised Pearl Mother Hen, compared to the remaining twenty of the Same Kind, already belonged to the category of "colossus".
Overall, it was several times larger than those around, looking like a "crane standing among chickens".
Perhaps because of this reason, it was uninterested in these Same Kind.
Xu Zhangqing held a handful of Top-grade Spirit Rice in his hand, feeding it while saying: "After pondering for a whole night, I've already thought of your name."
The Pearl Chicken tilted its head upon hearing this, its small eyes revealing a trace of curiosity.
Xu Zhangqing grinned: "From now on, you'll be called Gege!"
This name, Gege — that is, the Pearl Chicken — went stiff all over upon hearing it.
Almost fell headfirst into the Top-grade Spirit Rice.
It strained its throat crying out several times, seemingly wanting to express something.
Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "Right right right... just like the sound you make!"
Gege turned its head and left upon hearing this, not even eating the Top-grade Spirit Rice.
Passing by its Same Kind, a rooster happened to walk out.
Unknown if intentional, it kicked it flying with one foot.
Leaving the surrounding Same Kind stunned.
Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "This happy just because it got a new name?"
Afterward, he brought the Top-grade Spirit Rice to the Pond.
The Five Dragon Fish that had waited for a long time immediately swam to the very front.
After that was the slacking Guangling Turtle.
At the very back was a group of thin, weak Red-tailed Carp.
A strict hierarchy was fully reflected in this small pond.
Xu Zhangqing splashed the Top-grade Spirit Rice in his hand, throwing it all into the water, instantly stirring up ripples.
The five Dragon Fish rushed to grab it first, none submitting to the other, fighting and snatching.
Only after they were full did it turn to the Light Spirit Turtle hiding in its shell.
This fellow's eating speed was terribly slow, and it ate one grain at a time.
Only when little remained did it turn to that last group of Red-tailed Carp.
Seeing them pitiful, Xu Zhangqing took out another handful of High-Quality Spirit Rice and threw it over.
The Dragon Fish and Light Spirit Turtle were already full, so they did not go to snatch it.
After feeding them enough, Xu Zhangqing put the five Dragon Fish into the Ning Shui Zhu, then quickly returned to the Stone House, even closing the Door.
His whole person flashed, instantly entering his Personal Space.
Today, what he had to do was very simple.
First dig a pond, settle the five Dragon Fish in it, then plant Mutant Rice.
The reason he chose Mutant Rice was mainly to see how the planting effect of his Personal Space was.
If there was no problem, he could launch large-scale planting.
For example, reaching ten mu, or even twenty mu.
In short, there was no need to rush.
After all, rice is eaten mouthful by mouthful, and roads are walked step by step.
Cultivating spirit plants was the same; one could not be careless.
As for now, Xu Zhangqing stored a large amount of Mutant Rice seeds.
There were Mother Rice seeds.
There were Child Rice seeds too.
There were even Gold Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice seeds.
Gold Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice was the Metal Attribute Spirit Rice he had previously given to Li Lingbi.
The specialty Gold Rice could speed up the cultivation of those with a Metal Spirit Root.
When giving it, Xu Zhangqing had deliberately kept some seeds, so that he could cultivate them again in the future.
Although he temporarily did not have a Metal Spirit Root, so eating it would have no effect.
But that did not hinder planting.
After all, his Personal Space had a full one hundred mu of Spirit Fields.
Naturally, he wanted to plant whatever he wanted.
Now, for cultivating spirit plants, he had a Wood Spirit Root.
For loosening earth, he had an Earth Spirit Root.
All that was missing was a Water Spirit Root that could bring rain.
According to Five Elements Mutual Generation, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, and finally Metal generates Water.
Therefore, if Xu Zhangqing wanted to cast arts like the Small Cloud Rain Technique, he first had to give birth to a Metal Spirit Root, and finally a Water Spirit Root.
Of course, if there were treasures like Spiritual Treasures, that was another matter.
And once the Five Elements reached Perfection, he would not need anyone's help and could be completely self-sufficient.
Of course, the five mu of Spirit Fields outside were still handed over to Han Su, Zhao Ziyue, and others for help.
This would absolutely not change.
But before that, Xu Zhangqing used his Earth Spirit Root to dig out a large pond.
How big?
Length 20 zhang, width 12 zhang.
With three tributary bays of 5 zhang by 5 zhang.
The deepest part was 5 zhang, and the shallow beaches inside the bays were about 1 zhang.
It roughly occupied five percent of one hundred mu of Spirit Fields.
Actually, this was no longer a pond.
Rather, it was very similar to a small lake.
And because it was too big, the water in the Ning Shui Zhu was simply not enough.
The moment the five Dragon Fish were released, they were stunned.
Good Fellow, was it not much bigger than the previous pond?
It was even more spacious than the former Black Dragon Pool!
Xu Zhangqing pondered: "Such a large lake with only five fish is a bit few!"
It seemed he needed to buy some rare fish fry separately.
Or go to the Black Dragon Pool again to see if there were new Dragon Fish.
After making up his mind, Xu Zhangqeng began loosening earth and planting seedlings.
Currently two mu.
One mu of Mutant Child Rice.
One mu of Gold Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice.
After finishing, he summoned the Companion Green Lotus, and the Green Lotus Domain unfolded.
At the same time, he even operated the Full Level Four Seasons Sutra.
The growth speed and efficiency were directly pushed to the maximum in one go.
Instantly, the Mutant Spirit Rice in the Two Mu of Spirit Fields began to grow at a speed visible to the Naked Eye.
If Outside, the Growth Cycle would be roughly three months or so.
But here, basically it can be Harvested once every two months.
Both speed and efficiency have reached the current Limit.
Only the yield Aspect is slightly lacking.
One reason is the Lack of Spirit Rain nourishment.
The other is not having enough Spirit Beast Feces.
Fortunately, the Black Soil in the Personal Space has more abundant nutrients, making up for it a little.
Seeing it was about time, Xu Zhangqing left the Personal Space.
At this moment, only One Hour had passed Outside.
Late summer, everyone was exceptionally busy.
Therefore, not many people came here.
Especially Lin An, this guy's returns could be counted on one hand, always wandering Outside.
At first, he was tasked with investigating information on Spirit Plants, Spirit Talismans, and Pills Outside.
Now, he seems to have a bit of a reluctance to leave.
Every time he returns, it's almost always to buy things Xu Zhangqing needs.
For Example, materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
Besides that, he doesn't even plan to stay overnight.
Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing doesn't care anymore.
Although the other party signed a Blood Talisman Contract with him, he is ultimately a living person.
He has his own life, interests, hobbies.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can do whatever he wants.
Because he had to go to Black Dragon Pool in the Afternoon, Xu Zhangqing Cooked in advance.
When it was almost done, the Lightly Vitality Gourd vibrated once.
His Mind Moves, a Communication Talisman appeared in his hand.
Xu Zhangqing recognized it; this was Bai Ling'er's Communication Talisman.
Speaking of it, the two of them Rarely use this to Contact each other anymore.
"Hello?"
"It's me!"
"Old Bai?!"
However, the voice on the other end wasn't Bai Ling'er's crisp and tender voice, but rather Bai Xiaotian's slightly weathered and deep voice.
Xu Zhangqing was very Surprised, couldn't help but ask: "Do you have business with me?"
Bai Xiaotian replied: "The Spirit Talismans that restrain Yin Evil, I've already drawn One Thousand sheets."
Xu Zhangqing Immediately said: "Hard work!"
Bai Xiaotian changed the subject: "However, I can't continue drawing."
Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Bai Xiaotian said irritably: "The Formal Disciple Competition is about to end, don't you know?"
Xu Zhangqing blanked: "I... really don't know."
He's been farming all along, completely ignoring Outside matters.
Mainly because he's not interested.
Bai Xiaotian continued: "First, naturally the Formal Disciple Competition is about to end.
Second, I have to leave the Immortal Sect for a while, this is also the main reason."
Xu Zhangqing was very Curious: "Leave?"
Bai Xiaotian said in a Deep Voice: "My wife's side has some matters, I have to go help now."
Xu Zhangqing pressed: "What about Ling'er?"
"Sigh!"
Bai Xiaotian Tan Qi: "My two unpromising daughters, in the Formal Disciple Competition they couldn't even Rush into the Preliminary Round, staying is meaningless, might as well go back together."
Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Can tell, you really are the biological father!"
