Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
36 Sword Pills wrapped in blue flames shot out in a barrage.
At first, there was an extremely fast impact, trailing behind as it flew at a speed of 100 zhang per breath.
Once stabilized, silver-white Metal Sword Qi sprayed from the Sword Pills, crisscrossing like a firepower coverage net, plowing through every angle and position within dozens of zhang.
For a time, the Personal Space was filled with the sharp "whoosh whoosh" of piercing air.
At this speed, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's naked eye could only see a string of blurry blue afterimages, able to predict trajectories only through Divine Sense; anyone reacting even slightly slower would be far too late to activate defensive Spirit Tools.
Xu Zhangqing stroked his chin upon seeing this: "Great power, but a pity the Sword Pills shoot out."
For now they can be used, but they definitely need improvement in the future.
The best method is for neither Sword Pills nor Flying Swords to go out, simply shooting out Sword Qi.
Immediately, he released the Metal Spiritual Power from his Qi Sea and beckoned toward the Sword Pills ahead.
The next second, "swish swish swish" sounded, 36 Sword Pills, especially the core Bone Sword Pills, returned at extreme speed, re-embedded into the Sword Nest amid "click click" sounds.
Even residual high heat could be felt on them.
The Gourd has three layers of spiral air chambers, representing three attacks possible.
The Metal Spiritual Power consumed each time is about one-tenth of the total.
Xu Zhangqing held it in his hand, weighing it, and mused: "This thing is a first-generation product; let's call it Sword Nest Number One."
Then, he left a double imprint of blood and Divine Sense on it.
Though not needed for now, he couldn't be without it in hand.
Soon, the system supplemented all the information.
Sword Nest Number One
Effect 1: Hive-style Ammunition Loading
Effect 2: Gear-linked Rapid Fire
Effect 3: Green Flame Chain Lock
Effect 4: Ammunition Nest Self-rotation Calibration
Effect 5: Emergency Ejection
Testing complete, Xu Zhangqing left the Personal Space like a teleport, returning outside once more.
Residual heat had not yet dissipated in the Artifact Refining Room, traces of work everywhere.
Seeing this, he seriously cleaned and tidied once, then walked toward the ground.
Upon coming out, he found it was already bright outside.
Good fellow, who knows if he had been busy all night, or if several days had passed.
After all, artifact refining cannot be done in one go; it needs time to slowly attempt.
What's more, Sword Nest Number One itself is a product of the Metal Gourd Sword Core and the Sunflower Heart Sword Nest combined, with many uncertain factors inside.
Fortunately, one success, and the quality and spirit patterns are not low, saving the time of multiple forging and refining.
Hum~
Hum hum~
At this moment, vibration came from the Lightly Vitality Gourd.
Xu Zhangqing flipped his wrist, a Communication Talisman appearing.
He recognized at a glance that it was Li Sancai's.
"Senior Brother Li?"
"Are you home?"
"I am!"
"We've come out, we have something to share with you!"
"Fine, I'll go to Rain Water Pavilion right away."
"No, we're coming to your place!"
Li Sancai's words made Xu Zhangqing feel very surprised.
One must know, besides Qin Hundred Li and Chu Qiu, their team also had Han Xin and a junior sister named Qiu Su of Qin Hundred Li's.
Such a group coming to his Stone House was somewhat flattering.
The key was Xu Zhangqing worried secrets would be discovered, after all after breaking through to Golden Core Stage, Divine Sense would evolve from Spiritual Sense, all aspects greatly improved.
But he couldn't refuse, because this was very likely a suggestion from someone close.
Either Li Sancai.
Or Li Lingbi.
Or Chu Qiu.
Of course, it could also be Han Xin.
But whoever it was, he couldn't slight their face.
So soon Xu Zhangqing agreed, and at the same time turned and walked toward the basement again.
Directly moving everything in the Artifact Refining Room and Pill Refining Room into the Personal Space.
And not only that, he also controlled Earth Qi to connect the two rooms, making them part of the Cultivation Room.
This way, even if someone came down, they wouldn't see any trace.
After thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing began cooking.
At this time, Li Lingbi and the others could go without food, but they couldn't be unprepared.
The dishes definitely had to be top-grade vegetables.
The rice had to be top-grade Spirit Rice.
Qin Hundred Li and Qiu Su were coming for the first time; he absolutely couldn't be stingy.
He could even use this opportunity to give Li Lingbi and the others face.
For the staple food, he cooked a pot of top-grade Spirit Rice.
Then, using Scarlet Flame Fruits, he steamed nine red steamed buns.
For the hot dishes, Xu Zhangqing chose Spirit Beast braised pork, stir-fried Chinese Cabbage, and Ling Mushroom stewed tofu.
They were home-style dishes, but with a bit of local flavor.
Considering Han Xin might drink wine, he specially made some Ice Heart Lotus Seed Soup to help sober up.
The cold dishes were more casual; he tossed a black wood ear mushroom.
Actually, the real main event was five jin of top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.
Xu Zhangqing felt that since Li Lingbi and the others chose to divide things at his place, they must have come for the wine.
Perhaps there was also the thought of winning over and currying favor with Qin Hundred Li inside.
As the Core Disciple Number One of the Dongting Immortal Sect, whether in identity, status, or background, he was no ordinary person, and absolutely worth winning over.
Ga wu~
Ga wu~
Ga wu~
By the time the dishes were nearly done, a crow's alert sounded from outside.
Xu Zhangqing quickly switched to Shared Vision, and indeed saw a streak of golden sword light tearing through the air.
As expected, Qin Hundred Li and the others were definitely on it.
Because he considered they were inside the Immortal Sect and visiting someone's home, Qin Hundred Li deliberately controlled his speed, not going particularly fast, and the scene wasn't very impressive.
Chu Qiu pointed at the Five Mu Spirit Fields below and chuckled, "We've arrived."
Li Lingbi was visiting for the first time and couldn't help but look around together with Qin Hundred Li and Qiu Su.
All Five Mu Spirit Fields were Second Grade Spirit Fields; that wasn't anything special.
Everyone basically recognized the spirit plants grown in the Spirit Fields.
Spirit rice, medicinal herbs, vegetables—it fit the stereotype of a spirit farmer perfectly.
The only difference was that all the spirit plants cultivated by Xu Zhangqing, whether in color, growth, or any other aspect, were better, higher, and stronger than those of ordinary spirit farmers.
Qin Hundred Li nodded slightly: "No wonder he's the Spirit Field Spirit Cultivator; even just some common spirit plants have such high quality."
Li Lingbi smiled and explained: "This junior brother of mine doesn't like fighting, adventuring, or exploring; he only thinks about farming, and is very obsessed in this regard."
Qiu Su beside him blinked: "If so, he must be a great cook, right?"
On this point, Chu Qiu, Li Sancai, and Han Xin deeply agreed, nodding one after another.
"Not just good dishes, they're almost up to Lingfan!"
"You'll know once you eat!"
"Good food, good wine!"
Hearing them praise so much, Qin Hundred Li and Qiu Su became even more curious and expectant.
Qin Hundred Li glanced at the Fire Crow circling in the sky, then gradually restrained the sword light, and everyone soon landed before the Fence Gate outside the Spirit Fields.
Li Sancai called out toward the inside: "Junior Brother Xu!"
"Coming!"
Inside the Stone House, Xu Zhangqing responded, then went out and, cupping his hands toward everyone, said: "Welcome, Eldest Senior Brothers and Eldest Senior Sisters, to my humble abode!"
