Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After a period of study, the two high-rank cultivation methods purchased from Xuanxin City have now both been successfully mastered at the entry level and raised to the highest tier.

Luo Jin Jue: Fourth Layer

Effect 1: Metal Spiritual Power concentration increased by 40%.

Effect 2: Success rate for crafting Spirit Talismans, Spirit Tools, and Magic Tools +40%.

Effect 3: Metal Spiritual Power consumption reduced by 20% during forging and artifact refining.

Effect 4: Metal Spiritual Power lowers the probability of damage to base materials.

Special Effect 1: Can perceive the interior of metal ores, thereby judging material quality.

Special Effect 2: The engraved golden runes possess a Spirit-Gathering effect, able to slowly absorb Metal Spiritual Energy to replenish consumption.

Soft Water Jue: Third Layer

Effect 1: Water resistance reduced by 60%.

Effect 2: Physical strength recovery speed in water +50%.

Effect 3: During Dual Cultivation, can additionally absorb 10% Water Spiritual Energy.

Special Effect 1: Able to sense the direction of water sources within a radius of ten thousand meters.

Special Effect 2: Fuse one's own Spiritual Power into the water environment, Defense or Attack +10%, Water Spiritual Energy conversion efficiency +10%.

Current Remaining Lifespan: 763 years

From repair to Full Level, the former consumed 11 years, the latter consumed 9 years.

Added together they just make up exactly 20 years.

However, for the current Xu Zhangqing, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

A single random harvest increases lifespan by no less than twenty years, therefore there is no need to care.

The biggest benefit now is being able to freely manipulate the Five Elements Spiritual Power in the Qi Sea.

Moreover, these cultivation methods are sufficient for the current stage of him.

At worst, wait until breaking through to Golden Core Stage then search for new cultivation methods.

Figure flashing once, Xu Zhangqing disappeared from inside the room; when he appeared again, he had already arrived in his Personal Space.

Compared to the previous period, one also does not know if it is because of planting twenty mu of Spirit Fields, but the space's expansion speed has decreased a lot.

Before, it was visibly "swelling" continuously, yet now several days have passed, and if one does not carefully observe and sense, one truly cannot discover it.

Xu Zhangqing looked toward the twenty mu of Spirit Fields; all the spirit rice inside were growing vigorously: "The other spirit rice all need several months, only this Solid Foundation Fertile Soil Rice has actually nearly matured."

This thing matures in one month, harvest once per month.

Not only is the yield astonishing, the lifespan granted is likewise not low.

No wonder, in many immortal sects it belongs to the precious grade of Spirit Plants.

It is said, the Spirit Grain Sect which specializes in cultivating spirit rice and spirit plants has a unique species of Solid Foundation Fertile Soil Rice.

Currently treated as a family heirloom, outsiders fundamentally cannot see it, even the opportunity to contact it does not exist.

Withdrawing gaze and thoughts, Xu Zhangqing quickly concentrated all attention on the two newly learned high-rank cultivation methods.

Luo Jin Jue is suitable for use during forging and artifact refining, thereby increasing the effects of Spirit Talismans and Spirit Tools, therefore currently there is no way to test it, can only wait for another opportunity.

As for Soft Water Jue it is even more outrageous, even counts as bizarre, must be during Joint Membership to perfectly display.

"Forging is not urgent!"

"Test Soft Water Jue first!"

"Hmm... indeed able to sense the position of water!"

Xu Zhangqing circulated Soft Water Jue, mobilizing the Water Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea.

Instantly sensed the free-floating Water Spiritual Energy in the Personal Space, and at the same time captured the direction of surrounding water sources.

The more water a place has, the clearer the perception; conversely, the less water, the blurrier.

However, besides the small lake ahead, there is actually another water source.

Where?

Xu Zhangqing's figure flashed once, appearing beside the Space Earth Origin Fruit Tree and the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice.

Speaking truthfully, ever since transplanting them in, his attention has rarely focused on these two spirit plants.

Main reasons: one is the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice's value is not very high, one is the Space Earth Origin Fruit Tree's maturation cycle is very long.

Moreover, logically speaking these two spirit plants are both Earth Attribute.

Yet unexpectedly, beneath them there actually appeared a water pit.

The water inside is very strange, not clear water, instead yellowish, faintly emitting a slightly pungent earthy smell.

Xu Zhangqing stroked his chin: "This seems to be Polluted Spirit Water?"

It is water that absorbed a large amount of Earth Qi, forming toxic sewage.

If paired with Corroding Gold Sand, it can refine a specially disgusting Spirit Tool that pollutes others' Spirit Tools, Spirit Talismans, and Spiritual Power, called Polluted Spirit Gold Sand.

Moreover, it can also be used to learn a high-rank spell, named Wave-Corroding Technique.

Don't look at the name being ordinary, but in reality its power is enormous.

According to records in the book, this spell can even corrode a Golden Core.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help reaching out to touch the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice: "Who said you're useless, you're far too useful."

Not only can it cause the Space Earth Origin Fruit Tree to grow at a faster speed, it can also produce Polluted Spirit Water.

Unknown whether it was an illusion, but the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice swayed slightly after being stroked.

However, Xu Zhangqing did not collect the Polluted Spirit Water; instead he firmed up the surrounding mud, then turned and came before the lake, pondering: "Might as well give you a name too."

If it were still black, just calling it Black Water Lake would do.

But now it is incomparably clear, so it cannot be called that anymore.

Thinking back and forth, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Since he himself is in the Dongting Immortal Sect, he might as well name both his Personal Space and the lake before him "Dongting" together.

Serving as the name for the space, and also as the name for the lake.

Outside there is a big Dongting; here there is a small Dongting.

Xu Zhangqing's mood immediately became cheerful; grinning widely, he jumped into the water with a "plop".

Before, in the water, his swimming and treading speed could not be called slow, but neither could it be called fast.

But now that he has learned the Soft Water Art, although he lacks the ability to control water, he moves as freely as a fish.

This time, the Dragon Fish in the water all suffered.

Chased by Master for a whole meal, caught and subjected to "love's magic spin circles".

At first they were still very excited, but not long after they were exhausted coping, even scattering to flee, finally specially burrowing into corners.

How are they still like Dragon Fish; they're just like burrowing loaches.

On the contrary, Xu Zhangqing played to his heart's content; only after a long time did he leave the Dongting Space.

……

……

Accompanied by a "creak", Xu Zhangqing pushed the door and came out.

Instantly, the morning wind carried the damp breath of the Spirit Field rushing into his face.

The whole person's spirit was invigorated, and then his gaze swept around.

Wangwang was still in his nest; hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately poked his head out sneakily.

Seeing it was Master, yawning on one side, he burrowed out with a fawning smile on the other.

Except for Gege who was still sleeping, the remaining twenty Pearl Chickens were already catching bugs in the field.

In the Spirit Field, the rice ears drooped with heavy dewdrops, shimmering with seven-colored rainbow light.

On the Green Gourd Vine, rows of Mini Gourds could already be seen.

For the Wood Spirit Root, Spring and Autumn are obviously more comfortable.

But for Xu Zhangqing who has Five Elements Perfection, any season makes no difference.

Immediately, he began the daily routine he must complete every day.

Namely weeding, cleaning manure, inspecting the Spirit Field, making breakfast.

After everything was handled, the time had already reached morning; Xu Zhangqing put on his bamboo hat, then instructed Wangwang and Gege: "I'm going on a trip to the Water Control Pavilion; you two behave at home!"
