Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing heard this with a blank face: "I'm a harmless person, who is it?"

Zhang Su continued: "It's those people who just joined the Spirit Fields. They've been privately inquiring about all sorts of news regarding you, especially... bad news."

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, these people only joined the Spirit Fields not long ago and haven't fully integrated yet.

Therefore, inquiring about the only Pei Ling Shi's information is actually quite normal behavior.

It's just that inquiring about bad news is a bit disgusting.

Zhang Su said gratefully: "Fortunately, you're usually a decent person with a good personality, and have never relied on your identity as a Pei Ling Shi to bully others."

Although Xu Zhangqing couldn't make everyone satisfied, at least he hadn't made most people dislike him.

Otherwise, this news might not even be reported by others; they'd rather watch the show from the side.

Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment: "Senior Brother, help me keep an eye on them privately and see what exactly these people want to do.

It's fine if they dislike me, but if they disrupt the stability and harmony of the Spirit Fields, that absolutely cannot be tolerated."

Zhang Su patted his chest: "No problem."

By this time, the two had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

He immediately summoned Broken Moon Flowing Frost, and they flew toward the Spiritual Vein together.

Along the way, many Spirit Fields could be seen affected.

Even without cultivating spirit plants, they were still trying every means to take care of the Spirit Fields.

Zhang Su watched with a racing heart: "Truly an inauspicious start to the year."

Xu Zhangqing deeply agreed: "Indeed."

Not long after, the two arrived at the Earth Pulse Entrance.

He still remembered that last time they came was half a year ago; now the guards had changed, from that burly man Shan Fei to a female Earth Cultivator glowing with yellow light all over.

"I am Bei Qinghui, replacing Senior Brother Shan and guarding the entrance year-round!"

"Since the Pei Ling Shi of the Spirit Fields has graced us with his presence, naturally we won't stop you!"

"Both of you, please enter!"

If it were someone else, or if Zhang Su came alone, they would definitely be stopped and questioned.

Upon seeing the Pei Ling Shi Token hanging at Xu Zhangqing's waist, this person instead dared not offend him.

From a cold face to a fawning smile took less than a second.

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Luo River Bei Clan?"

Bei Qinghui said proudly: "Not bad, I am a member of the Luo River Bei Clan."

In the Tianyuan Realm, besides the Three Great Immortal Sects and Five Great Dynasties, there are many cultivation clans.

The three most famous ones are respectively: Luo River Bei Clan, Fuling Ouyang Clan, Nanyue Five Sons.

The front is the location, the back is the clan name.

Without exception, their inheritances all exceed a thousand years, and some ancient families have existed for a time comparable to immortal sects, which is quite terrifying.

On the Luo River side, the Bei Clan is like a local emperor, and all members are people above others.

Outsiders would love to form connections with the Bei Clan, and if they could bear a child, even better.

Not necessarily to achieve great success, but at least guarantee no lack of money or even starvation for the latter half of their lives.

Therefore, although Xu Zhangqing had only just met Bei Qinghui, he already had a deep impression of her.

Immediately after, the three set off together toward the depths of the Spiritual Vein.

After a round of notification, Earth Pulse Steward Yang Zhenyue appeared.

However, the other's expression was especially stern, and his gaze was quite sharp.

Xu Zhangqing asked suspiciously: "Steward Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Zhenyue said with a gloomy face: "The Spiritual Vein has leaked again. The collapse of the mineral vein doesn't matter, but unfortunately a few Formal Disciples died."

Xu Zhangqing and Zhang Su exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Disaster occurred in the Spirit Fields, and unexpectedly the Spiritual Vein also had trouble.

Surely the other Zhuqi Peak, Earth Fire District, and even the Water Controlling Pavilion couldn't be unsettled either, right?

Yang Zhenyue composed himself, then looked at the person before him: "Master Yuan has already informed me of the disaster news in the Spirit Fields, and the Array Masters are gathering."

Xu Zhangqing was slightly surprised: "Since you already know, why did Hua Lao still have me come?"

Yang Zhenyue looked at Zhang Su and Bei Qinghui on the left side, and the two instantly reacted, immediately turning around and walking toward the other side.

When only two people remained, Yang Zhenyue then sent a voice transmission: "Do you still remember Rong Long?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Fresh in my memory."

Yang Zhenyue continued: "The Xing Punishment Hall used the Soul Searching Great Art on that side and discovered he left behind several hidden dangers.

Coincidentally, you've become a Spirit Insect Cultivator, haven't you?"

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "I see."

Yang Zhenyue beckoned: "While the Array Masters haven't all arrived yet, let's hurry and go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhangqing immediately sent a voice transmission to Zhang Su: "Senior Brother, I have something else to do. You either wait for the Array Masters to arrive and go together, or leave now."

On the other side, Zhang Su's eyes lit up: "An Array Master!"

Another reason I came here was to get to know a few more Array Masters.

The fellow I previously cooperated with, I don't know what wind he caught, actually left the Immortal Sect and ran to a small immortal clan to become a live-in son-in-law.

On this side, Xu Zhangqing followed Yang Zhenyue as they escaped deep into the Spiritual Vein.

With the other party personally opening the way, the speed was extraordinarily fast.

I don't know how long passed, when ahead appeared a mined-out mineral vein.

However, compared to the previous one, the internal space of this mineral vein was much smaller.

Just as they entered, a strange smell lingered at the tip of the nose.

At first hearing it was like floral fragrance, but after smelling deeply there was also a fishy smell produced by fermented feces; in short, it was quite complex.

Yang Zhenyue said lightly: "I've been to this place once before, and discovered a Spirit Beast deep inside."

Xu Zhangqing immediately became interested: "Let's go take a look."

The two walked forward for not long before seeing this Spirit Beast.

Its body type was like an adult's fist, its outer shell dark gold, densely covered with ring patterns.

On its head was a pair of short, thick "horn shovels," the ends of its six legs had barbs, and in the middle of the shell on its back was a vertical slit, inside which faintly contained earth-yellow light.

And what was most eye-catching was the thing beside it.

A dung ball larger than a human head, constantly emitting a strange smell.

Yang Zhenyue pointed: "It's this Spirit Beast."

Xu Zhangqing had already mastered the Ten Thousand Insects Secret Record, so he recognized it at a glance: "Jin Chong?"

The advantage of this thing is piling dung, and the disadvantage is also piling dung.

Wherever it exists, there must appear a dung ball fused with many things.

It can be used to fertilize Spirit Fields, with effects close to the Small Cloud Rain Technique.

Of course, because dung accumulation takes time, the cost-performance ratio is not high.

What's more, one dung ball can only cultivate a few Lingti, far from filling one mu of Spirit Field.

Yang Zhenyue said half-jokingly: "I think this one is very suitable for you Spirit Farmers, quickly catch it."

Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched several times: "I... don't really need this thing."

Yang Zhenyue raised his right hand upon hearing this, Earth Qi gathering in his palm: "Then it can only be destroyed."

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly stopped him: "No no no, my friend should like it."

Yang Zhenyue urged: "Then quickly store it, we must hurry to the next location."

Xu Zhangqing took out a Spirit Beast Ring and put this Jin Chong inside.

As for the dung ball... forget it!
