Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At night, after finishing everything, Xu Zhangqing appeared to lie down and rest on the surface.

But the instant he touched the nanmu bed, he immediately entered his Personal Space.

With a flash of his vision, he saw the familiar Water Liang Gong again.

Inside, Linglong was still resting, so he did not disturb her; after taking a look, he immediately walked toward the other side.

The interior of the entire Personal Space was divided into four districts.

Respectively southeast, southwest, northwest, northeast.

The west side was the Spirit Field.

The east side was Dongting Lake.

The north side was the Water Liang Gong.

The south side was the insect-rearing ground.

Near the Water Liang Gong was the entrance to the Ancestral Tomb.

Of course, the Clam Mirage Thunder Dragon Boat stood quietly at the side.

Xu Zhangqing rummaged through his Fangcun Ring for this trip's gains; first was the incomparably huge Tu Jin Furnace. Although this thing was useless for now, keeping it for viewing was not bad.

Then all the pillars from the Cultivation Room, because they were engraved with rich content, so they absolutely could not be discarded.

As for the meditation cushion, it was also a good thing; judging from its appearance, the quality was not low.

Shields, longswords, and the like were all casually tossed to one side.

For a time, the sounds of clanging and clinking rang out one after another.

At this moment, the great doors of the Water Liang Gong were pushed open, and Xu Linglong walked out from inside, rubbing her sleepy eyes with one hand while shouting: "Father!"

Xu Zhangqing had just taken out the Four Seasons Fruit Tree and Jade Dew Spirit Sprout; hearing this, he smiled and said: "You're awake."

Xu Linglong stepped forward one step at a time and asked curiously: "Father, did you just come back?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded, then pretended to look very tired: "Yes, your hardworking old father has just returned from working outside."

Hearing this, Xu Linglong hurriedly stepped forward, intending to massage his shoulders, but because she was too short, she could only pound his waist. Afterwards she blinked her eyes: "Did you bring gifts?"

Xu Zhangqing rolled his eyes and pointed at the huge furnace: "I brought one. That thing is your new toy; study it well."

"No need for Magic Tools; just make a Spirit Tool."

Xu Linglong compared herself with the furnace, and her gaze instantly went blank.

This thing was bigger than the Ancestor's room, that is, that coffin.

Let alone having me refine artifacts, just climbing up it is difficult.

Xu Zhangqing patted her thin shoulders: "Our family is too poor; these are all junk others don't want."

"The children of the poor take charge of the household early. You are already five years old, and it's time you……"

Seeing Xu Linglong was about to cry, he could not continue making it up.

"Alright, indeed one cannot bully children."

……

……

During these days since returning, Xu Zhangqing was quite busy.

Because the Grain Master was out, many matters in the Spirit Field were handled by him and Hua Lao.

Moreover, it was springtime, problems frequently arose in the Spirit Field, and there were many tasks issued elsewhere.

This led to even his cultivation time being reduced; he could only study the Golden Seal Heaven-Controlling Art in his spare time.

Fortunately, the people he had previously brought for promotion, namely Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan, and others, had formed a Mutual Aid Association named the Qing Alliance.

Any problems they would first resolve privately among themselves.

If they could not resolve them, they would find Xu Zhangqing.

If even Xu Zhangqing could not resolve them, they could only seek help from Hua Lao.

This happened to save Xu Zhangqing from many small troubles.

For example, they could help each other with tasks.

Lingti would first be traded internally among one's own people.

Because of Xu Zhangqing's presence, everyone was very united.

That day, Xu Zhangqing, having just finished working in someone else's Spirit Field, was on the road returning to Hongfeng Valley when he was suddenly blocked by two acquaintances.

One was Chu Qiu.

The other was Pei Mo.

Xu Zhangqing chuckled: "Senior Brothers, long time no see!"

Chu Qiu waved his hand: "Let's skip the pleasantries; finding you surely means there's business."

Xu Zhangqing thoughtfully: "We're all one's own people; if I can help, I definitely will."

The implication being: don't count on him for what he can't help with.

Originally, he had many matters recently, and even his cultivation time had decreased.

Pei Mo and Chu Qiu exchanged a glance, then spoke: "It's like this. I plan to improve my Spiritual Root before breaking through to Golden Core."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Improve?"

Chu Qiu continued: "You know, I previously had a Metal-restricts-Wood spiritual root, so my cultivation speed and efficiency were extremely slow. Now I want to add another spiritual root."

Xu Zhangqing rubbed his chin: "Nothing more than three types of spiritual roots."

One, Water Spiritual Root.

Water generates Wood, resisting restriction.

Two, Fire Spiritual Root.

Fire refines Gold, Fire consumes Wood.

Three, Earth Spiritual Root.

Earth-born Gold, Wood restricts Earth.

If you want to improve, or make a change, you can only start from these three spiritual roots.

Pei Mo nodded: "Yes, I want to add a Water Spiritual Root, so that the other two spiritual roots can change from mutual restriction to mutual generation."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly became alert: "I don't like men, the two of us cannot dual cultivate."

Chu Qiu heard this and let out a "puchi" laugh, laughing back and forth, looking like he could barely hold it in.

Whether it should be said or not, he could always find fun from Junior Brother Xu.

Pei Mo's mouth corner twitched wildly: "What are you thinking, kid? I don't like men either."

Xu Zhangqing asked unhappily: "Then why are you looking for me?"

Pei Mo told the truth: "Ever since the Dragon Vein in the Canglan Sea Region was slain, the frequency of Water Spiritual Roots and Water Attribute Spiritual Treasures appearing has greatly increased. Recently I heard that on the side of Jiuqu Sect, which seems to have been flooded by Turbulent Spirit Water, there seems to be something I need."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "So you want to get to know Ruo Qunshuang through me."

Pei Mo nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "It's doable, but Frost Sister has an introverted personality, and she's been busy lately. If she doesn't want to see you, I can't do anything about it."

Pei Mo didn't care: "We just want to find a guide familiar with that place. If Ruo Qunshuang won't do, aren't there still several disciples from Jiuqu Sect?"

Chu Qiu added in passing: "Actually, looking for you is also because everyone knows each other, and Ruo Qunshuang counts as half an acquaintance. Rather than giving benefits to outsiders, it's better to give them to our own people."

Xu Zhangqing heard this and wasted no words, directly taking out the Communication Talisman.

As the spiritual light on it began to flash, a good while passed before it connected.

"Senior Brother Xu, what do you need from me?"

"It's like this, I have two senior brothers here who want to meet you."

"Meet me? Why meet me?"

"It has something to do with your hometown!"

"I just received a task and was preparing to go to Di Huo Qu..."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Chu Qiu and Pei Mo. Seeing both remain silent, he continued: "Like this, you come over first and we'll chat. If it's suitable, I'll have them post a task, and then you can pick from points, spirit stones, resources, whatever."

Ruo Qunshuang knew at once that the matter was not simple, and crucially involved her hometown.

The so-called hometown was none other than Jiuqu Sect.

That place already flooded by Turbulent Spirit Water.

Therefore, the reason for meeting went without saying.

Considering giving Xu Zhangqing face, after much thought Ruo Qunshuang could only agree: "Fine, I'll come meet you all first!"
