Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Soon, a massive pleasure boat docked at the foot of Pingdingshan.

One after another, over a dozen people jumped down from it.

They all wore gray clothes, not even a small storage bag among them; clearly they were Outer Disciples who had just been promoted.

"In the past, having five people promoted per quarter was already not bad!"

"Ever since Spirit Attendant Xu took charge of the assessment, the numbers have increased!"

"I remember last time there were 13; this time there are a full 15?"

"My heavens, another record broken?!"

Seeing this scene, the nearby spirit farmers exclaimed in amazement.

Unexpectedly, the record just created by Xu Zhangqing was broken once again by the man himself.

Immediately after, this group of newly promoted Outer Disciples, led by Xu Zhangqing, all walked up the mountain.

Many spirit farmers followed behind at the sight.

Just like that, originally a dozen or so people stubbornly turned into several dozen.

By the time they reached the empty space at the mountain summit, there were even over a hundred people.

Suddenly surrounded by so many Formal Disciples, Miao Huayu and the others were very nervous.

Xu Zhangqing reassured them: "Don't forget, you are also Formal Disciples, no different from them at all."

At these words, Miao Huayu and the others calmed down, then stepped across the threshold and entered the palace interior one after another.

Aside from Miao Huayu, because it was their first time here, everyone found everything fresh and novel.

A pair of eyes couldn't help but size up the surroundings.

When they saw Hua Lao, quite a few people were startled.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing introduced him in time: "This is the steward of the Spirit Field Core, named Hua Lao; from now on, if you have any questions, you can consult him."

"Greetings, Steward!"

Hearing this, the crowd hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed.

Some even knelt down directly.

Hua Lao looked surprised: "This batch's quantity is even more than the spring season.

Xiao Xu, you've broken the record again?"

Xu Zhangqing said with a calm expression: "It was their own effort."

Hearing this, Hua Lao couldn't help but look at him with new eyes.

If it were any other Formal Disciple, they would absolutely be wildly claiming credit right now.

But this one before him not only didn't claim credit, but was especially modest and low-key, not stealing the limelight from these newly promoted disciples at all.

Seeing it was about time, Xu Zhangqing cupped his fists and bowed: "Steward, I've brought the people; I have other matters this evening, so..."

Hua Lao naturally understood the meaning and immediately nodded: "You may go."

Xu Zhangqing turned to look at the newly promoted Outer Disciples before him, pulling out the Spirit Field Hundred Records while admonishing: "Remember, you must read more books and study knowledge regularly.

Although Second Grade Spirit Fields have high yields, they also have many problems; you must be fully prepared."

"Yes!"

After Miao Huayu and the others received the Spirit Field Hundred Records, each was deeply moved.

Xu Zhangqing hesitated a moment, then continued: "If things really don't work out, go find Xu Linshan and the others; they were promoted a quarter earlier than you, so their experience is richer.

And they're all acquaintances, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

After a thousand exhortations and ten thousand admonitions, only then did he turn and leave.

Seeing there was less than an hour until nightfall, he immediately drove the Yao Long Avoid Water Boat and flew toward home.

Sure enough, the boat's speed was much faster than the Big Leaf Grass; this time he arrived before long.

Next came washing vegetables, cooking, preparing everything in advance.

As time passed, the sun sank in the west, the moon rose in the east.

Soon, night enveloped the entire spirit field, and the atmosphere became quiet.

Xu Zhangqing walked out of the stone house to the dog kennel, looking at Wangwang gnawing bones inside: "I have to go out later; not sure what time I'll be back. You watch over Gege, the pearl chickens, and the turtles and fish in the pond — don't let anything happen to them."

Hearing this, Wangwang stopped gnawing the bone, then tilted his head to look at his master.

Who knows if he understood.

Or didn't understand.

Xu Zhangqing patted the dog's head, then leaped up; while in midair he summoned the Big Leaf Grass, and his whole person whooshed away swiftly.

……

……

Before long, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the newly reclaimed area of the Rong Family.

The Grain Master, Earth Pulse Abyss Master Shi Yuan, and Rong Yan were all there.

Even a Rong Family elder was present.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly landed, then cupped his fists and bowed: "Greetings, Grain Master, Abyss Master."

Zhu Fuxian asked with a light smile: "You got here this fast?"

Xu Changqing blinked: "I was just thinking of helping out."

At this moment, Rong Yan pulled his elder forward: "Xu Dao Friend, this is my Third Uncle Rong Fa, also one of our Spirit Field's veteran Spirit Farmers, has farmed for several decades, especially in caring for mutated Lingti, experience extremely rich."

By rights, the other party being older, Xu Changqing should take the initiative to greet.

But his identity, status are placed here.

Therefore, it was instead Rong Fa who respectfully cupped hands and bowed: "Xu Spirit Envoy!"

Xu Changqing's eyes brightened: "We can communicate more in the future."

Rong Fa froze a moment, then awkwardly nodded: "Of course, of course."

Afterwards, Xu Changqing concentrated both gaze and attention entirely on the Spirit Field before him, discovering inside already planted three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice.

Only compared to mature ones, slightly shorter.

Mature Qiansui Jinmang Rice, height around five meters.

While these three before him only two meters plus.

Whole body light blue color, looking slightly "immature".

Xu Changqing finally understood why even the Grain Master would envy the Rong Family.

Can only say, worthy of being the Spirit Field First Family with inheritance exceeding a thousand years.

Others having one mutated Lingti must treat as family heirloom.

While Rong Family, casually can produce three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice.

From the two people's still fairly calm expressions, guessing probably still have quite a lot in stock.

Everyone kept waiting for the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King to appear.

From Xu Hour until Hai Hour, still not a bit of movement.

"Could it have run away?"

"I feel it's possible, after all even the Sui Mai Worm Mother was caught!"

"Then do we still wait?"

Here, besides Xu Changqing, Zhu Fuxian and others keeping watch, also quite a few Rong Family people staring.

Watching as Zi Hour approached, underground still not a single bit of movement, this made many people deeply doubtful of the trap.

Zhu Fuxian's sharp gaze swept, these people instantly shut mouths, he coldly said: "Unrelated people all leave here, come back at dawn."

"This..."

Rong Family people or Rong Family hired Tenant Farmers, one by one slightly hesitant.

Rong Yan and Rong Fa seeing this faces changed greatly, hurriedly scolded: "Didn't hear what the Grain Master said? All leave!"

"All leave!"

Xu Changqing saw in eyes, secretly thought: "Worthy of Spirit Field First Family, subordinates even dare not listen to Grain Master's words."

Only Rong Yan or Rong Family Main Lineage people can command them.

Soon, these people left.

Originally still fairly lively venue, suddenly quieted down.

Remaining people, continued patiently waiting.

Time quietly flowed, arriving at Zi Hour 5 ke.

This time point, equivalent to midnight twelve o'clock.

At this moment all sounds stilled, almost couldn't hear any sound.

And right at this moment, the originally safe and sound three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice, whether trunk or leaves, at speed visible to naked eye, covered with a layer of blue-purple light spots.

Even underground, faintly came "rustling" movements.

From this can be seen, the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King it really... came!
