Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the front of the Small Teleportation Array.

Although a test was needed to see whether the other side was truly Cangyan Peak, since it was the first time, he could not use himself as the test subject; that would be too dangerous.

If something went wrong, or there was any deviation, the destination would not be Cangyan Peak, but any random place in the Tianyuan Realm.

In the sky, underground, in the water — there was even a chance of appearing inside a monster's Nest; wouldn't that be the end of him.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing summoned Ya Wu once again.

It had risked its life many times to delve deep into the Ancestor's Burial Mound for exploration; in terms of sending… adventure experience, it counted as experienced.

Ya Wu landed on the Earthen Platform, hopped a few times, then began sizing up the Small Teleportation Array in front of it.

Xu Zhangqing issued the order: "Go to the Left Side, let me see what place it is."

Gah-woo~

Ya Wu answered with a cry, then leapt up and immediately flew inside.

Although its potential was not high, at least it was not afraid of death.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing closed his eyes and swiftly switched to Shared Vision.

The next second, the first thing to appear before his eyes was not Cangyan Peak, but the Golden Miner standing with its right Thumb raised; it looked completely unharmed, obviously it had not encountered any danger.

Then, borrowing Ya Wu's vision, Xu Zhangqing scanned the surroundings once.

It was indeed Cangyan Peak, and located at the mountainside, less than ten meters from the Cave Mansion Entrance.

"Sure enough, it reached the place!"

"The scenery is really not bad!"

"The feng shui Layout hasn't changed at all!"

Ya Wu circled the entire Cangyan Peak, flying at least three rounds, before landing and perching on the Golden Miner's head.

Xu Zhangqing looked all around, confirmed there were no problems, then took a step across the semi-transparent Light Curtain, seemingly teleporting from his Personal Space to Cangyan Peak.

Fresh air.

Cool night breeze.

Familiar atmosphere.

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "The new home is really not bad."

Then he went to the Cave Mansion Entrance; the Guardian Spirit Tree was still in a withered, listless state, looking spiritless and dejected.

Judging by the look of it, Xiao Shangxiang's special constitution really had something to it; even after so long, it still had not recovered.

After entering Inside, the Cave Abode was still that same Cave Abode; aside from the Golden Qi and Earth Qi having recovered somewhat, there was no change at all from when he had left.

This showed that since then, no one else had entered.

Xu Zhangqing stroked his Chin: "What was that mysterious youth's name? Li something?"

He had always guessed that this person should have obtained Jin Xuanzi's true Inheritance.

The things inside the Cave Abode were more like they had been prepared in advance for someone else, their purpose being to Disperse attention.

Now that he had not come again, it showed this place was unimportant, or had been Abandoned.

From this it could be seen that the real Benefit was absolutely on that Li-something youth; just didn't know what the other party's situation actually was.

Ever since Joining the Rain Water Pavilion, there had been not a stir.

He looked, seemingly even more… slack than himself.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing walked out from inside the Cave Abode, returning once more to the mountainside.

Looking at the Small Teleportation Array coordinates in front of him, he thought for a moment and felt it was not right, so he simply used his own ability to control Earth Qi to directly shift it into the Mountain's interior.

Although nothing could be seen when teleporting over, likewise it could not be seen or even Perceived by others.

In this way, he could travel back and forth between the two places with peace of mind.

After everything was handled, Xu Zhangqing rose into the air, reached the Mountain summit, then lay down, blowing in the cool night breeze while gazing at the brilliant Xingchen.

The comfortable atmosphere made one's heart and spirit tranquil.

……

……

In a flash, the next day arrived.

Xu Zhangqing reheated yesterday's leftover dishes, then simmered some Spirit Rice Porridge.

The three made do with one meal, then Lao Hu and Lao Zhao left.

Although everyone was in the same immortal sect, they each had their own matters to attend to.

They could gather occasionally, but unlike a few years ago when Xu Zhangqing had just been Promoted, the few of them were more idle and could meet whenever they wanted.

Before Breaking Through to Golden Core, Zhao Ziyue had to make a Trip home.

Hu Bugui had to take care of the Spirit Beasts being raised in the Ling Beast Valley.

As for Xu Zhangqing, daily life was even busier.

If not inspecting the Spirit Fields, then handling all sorts of Small Matters.

To some extent, it counted as half taking over the Hezhu's position, needing to shoulder more Responsibilities.

Busy for half a day, just preparing to rest a bit, the Communication Talisman suddenly Vibrated.

He took it out to look and discovered it was from Second Senior Brother.

"Sixth Junior Brother, I'm going to the Luo River Bei Clan banquet with Eldest Senior Sister and Third Junior Brother. Can you help keep an eye on the rare spirit plants in the Third Grade Spirit Field?"

"Sure, you go ahead. I can help watch over them."

"Hehe, just knew Junior Brother was reliable. When we get back, I'll bring you some Luo River specialties — heard the food there is especially amazing!"

"Really? That's great then!"

"Alright, we're off. Come by Xianfeng when you have time."

After chatting just a few sentences, Second Senior Brother ended the communication first.

Xu Changqing looked at the communication talisman in his hand, its spiritual light dimmed, and muttered, "They say the capable bear more work, but am I not a bit too much of a workhorse?"

Immediately, he summoned Broken Moon Flowing Frost and soared into the sky alone.

At extreme speed, he flew toward the Nine Heavens.

Not long after, Qingmu Peak appeared before his eyes.

Every time he saw that thousand-zhang-tall great tree, he would be shaken to the core.

After all, as his cultivation realm continuously rose, his perception of the entire world became increasingly clear.

He could distinctly perceive that the tree before him was no ordinary thing.

Not only did it release dense Wood Spirit Qi, but it also contained an immeasurable life aura.

The Tree Top Qiongxin Domain is where the Peak Master resides.

The Main Branch Sanxiu Domain is where the Vice Peak Master and Elders reside.

The Middle Layer Cuiwei Domain is where Core Disciples reside.

The Lower Layer Qingya Domain is where Core Disciples' disciples reside.

Therefore, Xu Changqing did not go to the tree top this time, but came to the Middle Layer Cuiwei Domain.

Here, relatively speaking, appeared more lively.

Core Disciples — not to say they were everywhere, but one would occasionally run into a few.

"Junior Brother Xu!"

"Senior Brother Xu!"

"Long time no see!"

Whether they knew him or not, they would all actively greet Xu Changqing.

No helping it — although this person had joined Qingmu Peak for a very short time, his Master was the ceiling of strength, status, identity, and background here.

Plus Xu Changqing himself was very easygoing, without any sense of distance, causing many people to generate a trace of "favorable impression" even if they had never met him or were unfamiliar.

After exchanging pleasantries with the surrounding people, Xu Changqing arrived at Second Senior Brother Zhou Yan's residence.

Like most Core Disciples, either finding a tree leaf or digging a tree hollow.

Zhou Yan's residence and spirit field were built on a huge green tree leaf, inside which the Wood Spirit Qi was exceptionally dense, as if a spiritual array had been laid out.

Xu Changqing had come several times before and long had the qualification to enter and exit freely at any time.

His gaze swept once, and he distinguished the rare spirit plants Second Senior Brother had planted and cultivated this time.

Nine Leaves Condensing Dew Grass

Grows only 9 leaves in its lifetime; each leaf edge condenses Wood Spirit Condensing Dew.

Mutated into Twin Condensing Dew Grass; the condensing dew can nourish the roots into Spirit Jade Roots.

Xuan Pattern Purple Ganoderma

The ganoderma cap surface has profound wood patterns, forming a natural spirit-gathering array that autonomously gathers surrounding Wood Spirit Qi without needing activation.

Mutated into Double Cap; the spirit-gathering effect is 3 times that of ordinary Xuan Pattern Purple Ganoderma.

Spiritual Rhinoceros Through Leaf

This is one of the raw materials for making communication talismans; the better the spirit tool grade, the higher the price.

Mutated into Spiral Winding Leaf; signal and all other aspects are strengthened, even enabling long-distance communication.

Yuehua Wutong Sapling

An extremely rare spirit plant; it is said that when mature it can attract spirit birds to nest. Very difficult to cultivate — the entire Dongting Immortal Sect combined has fewer than nine plants.

Mutated into Twin Trunk Symbiotic Sapling; two main trunks grow symbiotically from the root, forming a Yuehua Energy Pool in the soil that can be used to upgrade spiritual roots.

Xu Changqing exclaimed in admiration: "Second Senior Brother's planting and cultivation skills are not beneath mine — he actually got his hands on such rare spirit plants."

Remember last time I came, what I saw weren't these; didn't expect they'd all be different this time.

Although this is his first time contacting these rare spirit plants that can only be planted in Third Grade Spirit Fields, he still knows how to cultivate them.

Without exception, one only needs to attract more Wood Spirit Qi to gather.

Of course, the Yuehua Wutong Sapling is relatively special — besides spiritual energy it also needs Yuehua, and that stuff isn't easy to get.

Therefore, he could only wait until next time to supplement it.

Not wasting time, Xu Changqing raised his right hand, released his magical power, and the already dense Wood Spirit Qi around him directly rose a level.

Just this, and it was only using a bit of magical power.

If it were a Heaven-grade Golden Core combined with Law Xuan Seal going all out, the effect is unimaginable.

Immediately, all the surrounding rare spirit plants trembled slightly, each looking like a "little spoiled wife" who had just woken up.

Both carrying a trace of laziness, yet also revealing a trace of liveliness.

However, not long after, Xu Changqing's divine sense suddenly perceived someone approaching this place; he instantly became alert, immediately lowering his already weak magical power even further.

Along with that, all the surrounding rare spirit plants quieted down completely.

Not long after, a female cultivator appearing around twenty years old appeared.

A standard goose-egg face, carrying a touch of baby fat.

Tender white skin tinged with a faint pink flush.

Phoenix eyes, willow-leaf brows, a rounded nose tip.

Full lips, a distinct cupid's bow.

Rounded earlobes, bearing a blessed countenance.

The upper garment was a light green short jacket.

The lower garment was a pair of light yellow tied trousers.

Over them she wore a moon-white gauze robe.

She stood Outside, curiously sizing up the Inside while seemingly waiting.

Xu Changqing Sees Situation and did not go over, instead pretending not to have Discovered her, and continued Cultivating these Rare Spirit Plants.

However, the other party's Patience exceeded imagination, as if she would not leave without waiting for him.

Faced with this situation, Xu Changqing had no choice but to stop, then turned and asked: "This Dao Friend, are you waiting for me?"

The other party broke into a smile, revealing two dimples: "I am Su Tiantian, you are the Sixth Junior Brother Xu Changqing that Senior Brother Zhou often mentions, right?"

Xu Changqing nodded Doubtfully: "Yes, it is me."

Su Tiantian sized him up and down: "Although you look Ordinary, since you can help Senior Brother Zhou Cultivate Spirit Plants, you must have considerable talent in the Planting Aspect."

Xu Changqing frowned: "So what?"

Su Tiantian laughed lightly: "My mother wants to see you."

Xu Changqing was stunned: "Your mother is?"

Su Tiantian said in a Loud Voice: "Qingmu Peak Medicine Immortal Fairy, Su Qingyao!"
