Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing walked inside and finally saw Immortal Maiden Yao, Su Qingyao.

She and her daughter Su Tiantian were practically carved from the same mold, looking quite similar.

Both had oval faces, but at this age she had lost her baby fat, so her jawline was clearer, bearing the firmness a mature female cultivator should have.

Her forehead was full and smooth, her bangs reaching her eyebrows, slightly covering her brow peaks.

Her skin was porcelain white, delicate as congealed fat.

She also had phoenix eyes, with the outer corners tilting up more than her daughter's.

Her pupils were clear, her gaze gentle.

A pair of willow-leaf brows, the brow tails naturally drooping.

Her nose bridge was straight, her nose tip small and exquisite.

Her lip shape was full, her lip bead prominent, her lip line clear as a painting, her lip color quite rosy.

Her earlobes were round and plump, like her daughter bearing a mark of fortune, each ear pierced with a small hole, wearing a pair of jade orchid leaf earrings.

Since she was seated, her height could not be told.

Her figure was neither thin nor overly plump, just right.

Her upper garment was a green collared long shirt.

Her lower garment was a white silk skirt.

Draped over her was a light blue semi-transparent stole.

Her long hair was arranged in a low bun, secured with an orchid hairpin, with two condensed dew flowers pinned at her temples.

This person was nearly two hundred years old, yet looked like she was in her thirties or forties.

After looking, Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "Well maintained indeed."

Su Qingyao likewise sized up the person before her; sure enough, his appearance was ordinary, and she immediately asked with a smile: "You are the sixth disciple newly accepted by Peak Master Mu?"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly saluted with clasped hands: "Disciple Xu Zhangqing, greets Elder Su!"

Su Qingyao waved her hand, seeming not to care much about these formalities, like chatting over family matters, and began a round of questions and answers.

"How old are you this year?"

"Thirty."

"What realm?"

"Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

"Do you have a Dao Companion?"

"Not yet."

"Then what do you think of my daughter?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "You... what do you mean?"

Su Qingyao said slowly: "You have a clean background and are hardworking; rather than handing Tiantian over to strangers you don't know, it's better for our Qingmu Peak to become in-laws."

Xu Zhangqing asked in disbelief: "You want me to marry into the family?"

Su Qingyao nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Before coming, Xu Zhangqing had had many thoughts in mind, but he never expected it to be like this, and for a moment he was speechless.

If he really were as he appeared on the surface.

Ordinary in appearance, only hardworking.

And having some talent in planting and cultivating.

Then marrying into the Su Family wouldn't be impossible, after all having an Elder as a backer.

But the truth was, he was like an iceberg floating on the sea surface; others could only see the corner sticking out, and no one could fathom the part underwater.

Seeing his silence, Su Qingyao thought she had frightened him, and chuckled lightly: "I know this is unbelievable to you, but feelings can be cultivated slowly."

"And you've also seen it; my daughter is beautiful and has a good personality."

"Although her talent and comprehension in cultivation are a bit lacking, she is more than enough for you."

Xu Zhangqing was neither scared silly nor had his head turned by this sudden surprise.

If he wasn't mistaken, Su Tiantian seemed to have thoughts about Second Senior Brother Zhou Yan.

As for whether these two had confirmed their relationship, it was currently unclear.

But no matter what, he absolutely could not agree to "marry into the family."

Otherwise, it was very likely to cause Second Senior Brother's dissatisfaction, and even trigger greater conflict.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing forced a laugh and refused: "Elder Su, Disciple currently has no thoughts of marrying and having children."

Su Qingyao seemed slightly surprised: "Oh?"

You must know, in the mortal world, not to mention thirty, many young men marry and have children at sixteen or seventeen.

Originally thought the person before her had been frightened, but unexpectedly he was quite rational.

If it were another disciple, he would probably agree immediately, and might already be kneeling on the ground calling "Mom."

No wonder this person was ordinary in appearance, yet could be favored by Peak Master Mu Ji and become the current Sixth Disciple.

Xu Zhangqing saluted with clasped hands: "Elder Su, if you have no other matters, Disciple will take his leave first; there are a great many things in the Spirit Field waiting to be handled."

Su Qingyao said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, I won't force you; however, there is indeed another small matter that needs your help."

Xu Zhangqing's heart sank, but on the surface he smiled broadly: "Where do those words come from? If you have something, just give the order!"

Su Qingyao raised her right hand, and a single seed appeared in her palm: "Your talent in planting and cultivation should be decent. Try to keep this alive for me."

The seed was a deep purple, its surface faintly bearing mysterious patterns.

To tell the truth, just looking at it you know it's not simple.

It's very obviously the seed of some rare spirit plant.

Xu Zhangqing hesitated for a moment, couldn't hold back, and asked: "What spirit plant's seed is this?"

Su Qingyao replied: "This is a Living Spirit Grass seed. It can stimulate surrounding spirit plants, thereby enhancing their attributes and effects."

Xu Zhangqing's mind had not a shred of related information; with his current knowledge reserves, he had actually never heard of it.

Either this really is a rare spirit plant he has never encountered before.

Or the other party made up the name on the spot.

Su Qingyao said with a smile in her eyes: "Rest assured, I'll give you a payment every month until it thoroughly comes alive, even matures."

Xu Zhangqing knew that the previous marriage proposal could be refused, but this seed absolutely could not be refused right now; otherwise it would be a bit like accepting a favor and then spurning it.

Regardless of what thoughts the other party is ultimately hiding, at least for now she hasn't revealed any malice, and her attitude toward him is even quite good.

Therefore he could only accept it, and even make a promise: "This disciple will certainly spare no effort to keep it alive."

Su Qingyao waved her hand: "Fine, you go back first."

Xu Zhangqing held the seed in his hand, first cupped his hands in salute, then turned and left.

By the time he reached the outside, Orchid Immortal Maiden, Mu Beiyun, and Su Tiantian were all there.

It's just that the three women's gazes at him were, to some extent, a bit strange.

The conversation between the two inside just now had no voice transmission, and even less any shielding.

Therefore, the ones sitting outside heard it clearly and distinctly.

Although Su Tiantian's cheeks carried a touch of shy red, her eyes revealed a look of dissatisfaction.

It's very obvious she doesn't like this fellow she's meeting for the first time, and who is utterly ordinary.

In her heart she was extremely dissatisfied with her mother's behavior like this.

Fortunately Xu Zhangqing was tactful and ultimately didn't agree.

Otherwise Su Tiantian would definitely make a big scene; after all, she already has someone she likes in her heart.

Mu Beiyun secretly snickered, seemingly enjoying this kind of scene.

Only Orchid Immortal Maiden, upon learning her elder sister wanted to pull this person into a marriage alliance, her gaze immediately turned sharp, as if she wanted to see through the person before her inside and out.

Facing this atmosphere, Xu Zhangqing found it a bit unbearable; he cupped his hands toward the three women, then hurriedly walked out the door.

Not until he had thoroughly distanced himself from the Medicine Garden did his whole person let out a breath of relief.

"Good fellow, almost thought I'd walked into a Spider Cave."

"Although I look honest, you can't bully honest people like this!"

"Is Elder Su actually that mysterious person or not?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the Medicine Garden's position, then concentrated his gaze and attention entirely on the seed in his right palm.

No matter what this thing actually is, using the system's ability can analyze it.

Living Grass Seed

Insufficient Spiritual Energy

Slightly Damaged

Mild Toxicity

Root Symbiosis

Spirit Plant Perception

Su Qingyao said this is a Living Spirit Grass seed, but the system analysis calls it Living Grass.

Although it's a one-character difference, the effects and abilities are definitely worlds apart.

If the other party didn't just misspeak, there's only one possibility: she deliberately said it wrong.

Xu Zhangqing snorted coldly in his heart: "Doesn't matter. My true core stuff is all in my Personal Space anyway; those seven mu of Spirit Fields outside I don't care about at all."

Since he agreed, the seed must be planted, and moreover tended well.

Immediately, he quickly left here, even left Qingmu Peak.

Before long he arrived at his own Hongfeng Valley.

Summer had set in, and the seven mu of Spirit Fields were long since planted.

Except for one mu used as a vegetable patch.

Of the other six mu, the second, third, and fourth are all planted with Extreme-grade Spirit Rice.

The fifth mu is planted with Gold-Edged Hemostatic Ginseng; this thing's effect is for refining Healing Pills.

Once the Thousand Sects Dharma Assembly starts, this thing will definitely have a market.

The sixth mu is planted with Awakening Spirit Flowers; this thing is one of the main ingredients for Awakening Spirit Pills.

During dueling, one must concentrate fully, so naturally this kind of pill and medicinal herb will be used.

As for the seventh mu, it's planted with Condensing Qi Grass; its main use is refining into Condensing Qi Pills that restore spiritual power and magic power.

You see, bleeding on one side and dueling on the other, the consumption of spiritual power and magic power is definitely huge.

At that time, the role of these three medicinal herbs will be reflected.

Planting and cultivating them in advance is definitely better than scrambling later.

And the Living Grass seed, Xu Zhangqing placed it in the seventh mu Spirit Field.

He randomly found a corner, dug open the black soil, then tossed the seed in.

Then he brought clean Spirit Spring Water to pour over it, and then gathered a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi to repair it.

After the two negative effects of insufficient Spiritual Energy and slight damage on the seed disappeared, he then got up and walked toward the Left Side, temporarily ignoring it.

Wangwang!

Wangwang, upon seeing Master, immediately bounced over and crashed into his embrace.

Good Fellow, the strength is truly not small.

It felt like an impact force of at least a thousand catties.

Fortunately Xu Zhangqing is at Golden Core Stage; if it were an Ordinary Person, this one hit would have the whole village eating funeral feasts.

Immediately after, Wangzai, whose Body Type is even bigger than Dog Dad's, copied the example, also bouncing over with even faster speed, like a streak of Yellow Wind flashing past, and followed by crashing into his embrace.

A "thud" sounded on the spot, directly squeezing Wangwang aside.

Its impact force is even more Terrifying, at least several thousand catties, and it also carries the heavy thickness of Earth Attribute.

Xu Zhangqing only felt a small Mountain crash over him; looking down at his already damaged clothes, he said angrily: "Can't you two be a little gentler?"

The two Dog children didn't speak, transforming into ultimate Licking Dogs, just wildly licking.

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing being angry isn't right, not being angry isn't right either.

Helpless, he could only furiously rub the two dog heads.

Teased for a while, then walked toward the Kitchen, starting to make today's food.

Wood Spirit Root Cultivators, besides absorbing the free-floating Wood Spirit Qi between Heaven and Earth, and the Wood Spirit Qi gathered during Farming, eating food that Contains Spiritual Energy is also a kind of Cultivation.

And the higher the Spirit Tool Grade, the better the effect.

These years, although Xu Zhangqing is still at Golden Core Early Stage, by eating various Rare Spirit Plants and mutated Spirit Plants, he has also Accumulated to a Certain degree.

Although not enough for a Realm Breakthrough, the Accumulation day by day and month by month is likewise Formidable!
