Cold Abyss Snow.
The longer such a disaster event lasts, the greater the damage and losses it causes.
Fortunately, this time everyone reacted within less than four days and then launched a series of countermeasures, the key being the arrangement of spiritual arrays.
First, the Warm Yang Array had been modified many times and had become especially simple; any Array Master could set it up, with no great difficulty.
Even in terms of materials, whenever it involved disaster events, the immortal sects always covered the costs, so no one needed to worry about how much was consumed.
Therefore, in less than half a day, most areas of the entire Spirit Field, especially places with many loose cultivators and many Spirit Fields, had almost all been set up with Warm Yang Arrays.
Some were large, covering many mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields.
Some were small; even if only one mu, they would still set one up.
The Spirit Fields originally frozen by the blizzard were now radiating warmth everywhere, and accumulated snow and ice blocks began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Fortunately, we discovered it in time!"
"I just don't know exactly how great the impact was?"
"Speaking of which, those new fellows who joined also suffered not small losses!"
Seeing this scene, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
As time passed, although it was still snowing outside, the Spirit Fields gradually recovered.
As for Ji Mingxuan and other Formal Disciples who had just joined the Spirit Field Core, every single one of them had their spirit plants die, equivalent to a total loss.
When Xu Zhangqing returned to Pingdingshan Palace, he even heard someone drumming up sentiment against him.
Saying that it was because the Spirit Cultivator had not reacted in time that caused their heavy losses.
Therefore, they bore inescapable responsibility and must do this and that, and they were quite excited.
Xu Zhangqing observed without showing any emotion; at first only Ji Mingxuan's group was drumming up sentiment, later many spirit farmers also followed suit.
But soon, these people's voices and movements were suppressed by many normal spirit farmers, such as Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan, and others.
However, three groups gradually formed.
The first group was those drumming up sentiment.
The second group was those who trusted Xu Zhangqing.
The third group was those watching the show from the side.
For now, although it had some impact on Xu Zhangqing, it was not considered serious.
After all, everyone had seen his actions and his usual conduct and behavior.
Xu Zhangqing revealed a playful expression, thinking to himself: "Condemning me while standing on the moral high ground—these people really know how to play."
But the more this was the case, the more he could not get angry, nor could he be affected.
Put plainly, this was a pit; once you jumped in, it was very hard to get out.
The most urgent matter now was still to first deal with the Cold Abyss Snow; as for those people splashing dirty water, leave them to be dealt with slowly later.
Therefore, Xu Zhangqing immediately came before Hua Lao: "Steward."
Hua Lao asked: "How is the matter handled?"
Xu Zhangqing quickly reported the situation: "Currently, the vast majority of areas in the Spirit Field have already been set up with Warm Yang Arrays; only a very few remote places have not yet been done temporarily."
But overall, the impact has already been reduced to the lowest.
Hua Lao nodded slightly, looking quite satisfied: "Well done."
To resolve the damage caused by this disaster event all at once was obviously not very possible.
After all, in the previous few days everyone thought it was just normal snowfall.
Until later, that is, on the third day, when the heavy snow turned into a blizzard, did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.
Xu Zhangqing tentatively asked: "Those spirit farmers who suffered losses?"
Hua Lao smiled slightly: "Those affected by this disaster event will be covered by the immortal sect."
Xu Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Hua Lao said half-jokingly: "Dongting is after all one of the Three Great Immortal Sects; if it didn't even have this much resolve, the disciples would have all run away long ago."
Xu Zhangqing deeply agreed: "Indeed."
Hua Lao then asked: "Did you go to those several hidden dangers?"
Xu Zhangqing quickly answered: "There were five in total; Steward Yang and I went to two of them, and there were three we didn't have time for, so we'll talk about it later."
Hua Lao reminded: "That Rong Long is a Senior Array Master; you must not be careless."
Xu Zhangqing quickly cupped his hands: "Yes."
Afterwards, he turned and left this place.
Things had come to this; there was nothing left for the Spirit Cultivator to do.
Rather than staying here and listening to those outsiders drum up sentiment, it was better to go home and tend to the bugs.
The Jin Chong didn't matter, but Leijin Kui was a treasure-grade item.
Therefore, Xu Zhangqing impatiently returned to Hongfeng Valley.
First he drilled into the room, then his figure flickered as he entered his Personal Space, and immediately after, he released the two bugs from the Spirit Beast Ring.
The Jin Chong, upon coming out, searched everywhere for excrement; unfortunately, the only thing producing excrement here was the Dragon Fish in the lake on the other side, so it could only anxiously wait.
Leijin Kui was different; facing a strange environment, not only did it not release Thunder Power, but instead it lowered its presence as much as possible.
Using his semi-transparent body, he disguised himself, fusing into one with the surrounding environment.
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "This one at the side, its head contains only shit.
Unlike this one, it looks much smarter."
According to the detailed records in the Ten Thousand Insects Secret Record, to tame this Leijin Kui, one must first possess Spiritual Power of both the Thunder and Metal attributes.
Although Xu Zhangqing possesses a Thunder-Fire Spirit Root, in reality it is not a pure Thunder Spirit Root, merely carrying the Thunder Attribute; his Golden Core also lacks Thunder Spiritual Power.
Therefore he could only settle for the next best thing, substituting it with Metal Spirit Root mana.
Next, Xu Zhangqing took out a Thunder Resonant Stone, breaking it down into granules while fusing his mana into it.
Once rubbed to the size of a rice grain, it became a Golden Thunder Bait that could attract the Leijin Kui.
As soon as it was completed, it rapidly emitted a faint, strange fragrance.
Initially, the Leijin Kui was very vigilant, remaining completely motionless.
As the amount of Golden Thunder Bait grew more and more, and it sensed the dried-up Thunder Power inside its body, it finally could not hold back.
First it carefully approached the Golden Thunder Bait, and did not eat it directly, but continued probing.
The unfamiliar environment made the little fellow exceptionally vigilant.
Xu Zhangqing utilized his control over his Personal Space; clearly he was right beside it, yet it was as if he were invisible, not a trace of aura leaking out.
After probing many times and confirming there were no problems, the Leijin Kui finally began to gnaw on the Golden Thunder Bait.
Because they were only the size of rice grains, it ate them one by one.
As it ate more and more, its wariness grew less and less.
Right at this moment, Xu Zhangqing seized the timing, forcing out a drop of his own blood, dripping it from above onto the Leijin Kui's body, causing it to shrink back in fright.
But soon, its body began to soften.
At this time, Xu Zhangqing consumed mana, borrowing his own blood, and rapidly engraved the Kui Pattern Contract Talisman onto the Leijin Kui's softened body.
The instant the Spiritual Rune touched the shell, the Leijin Kui erupted the last of the Thunder Power within its body, attempting a final resistance and struggle.
However, its opponent was Xu... Five Elements Spiritual Root... Heaven-grade Golden Core... Changqing!
