Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The white spots on Ink Bamboo's body began to recede as the gray mist dissipated, and a warm luster even covered its surface.

Seeing this, Qingxuan reached out and pinched it, and a crisp "Click!" rang out; immediately afterward, a faint crack appeared on it, and soon pale green liquid flowed out from within, emitting the unique fragrance of bamboo, appearing quite miraculous.

Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes and thought to himself: "The other party wasn't boasting; everything in this painting truly exists, I don't know how large the interior is."

"For now, it is absolutely a high-grade magic tool."

Qingxuan nodded slightly: "The Ink Bamboo's situation has indeed been resolved; it seems Brother Xu's method does have some effect."

The moment he let go, the faint crack healed rapidly, appearing to have no problem at all, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "As long as it's useful, but we must continue; we can't completely resolve the fan's situation in a short time."

Qingxuan nodded lightly: "I understand; whatever you say next goes."

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the time, then took something out from his Fangcun Ring, handing it over while saying: "Next is Spiritual Pulse Clearing; take this back, place it by the window at Zi Hour, and after a while it will be filled with moonlight essence; then pour it into the fan."

Qingxuan took it and examined it carefully: "This... seems to be a fine mat woven from Green Bamboo?"

Xu Zhangqing raised his thumb and praised: "Good eye."

Qingxuan was stunned at first, then said with a laugh: "If I can't even recognize Green Bamboo, I might as well go back and cultivate for a few more years."

Xu Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief: "First Three Purifications, then Three Nourishments; today's matters are settled."

Hearing this, Qingxuan put away his folding fan but did not leave.

The two sat in the Pavilion, beside which stood a Yang Tree emitting faint Wood Spirit Power.

On the left side was a small bridge and flowing water, making a "Splash splash" sound.

"This time entering the mortal world, I've indeed gained much experience!"

"Oh? I don't go out much; Brother Qing, tell me!"

"For example, Nantian City, though led by the imperial dynasty, is also controlled by immortal cultivation forces..."

The two drank Spirit Wine while conversing.

Qingxuan recounted what he had seen and heard during this period in an interesting tone.

Xu Zhangqing was immersed in it, exclaiming "Amazing!" from time to time, appearing especially engrossed.

A full half an hour passed; seeing that the sky was getting darker, Qingxuan finally got up to leave.

Xu Zhangqing personally saw him out of Hongfeng Valley, then returned and walked toward the Second Floor Bedroom.

Ruo Qunshuang leaned against the headboard and teased: "I thought you two would chat until dawn."

Xu Zhangqing pinched her smooth and tender cheek: "That person is very interesting; I think having one more friend is better than having one more enemy, right?"

Ruo Qunshuang pouted and hummed softly: "I have a duel tomorrow."

Xu Zhangqing hehed: "Then first get past me."

In the originally quiet atmosphere, indescribable sounds suddenly appeared.

Wangwang and Wangzai, at first merely numbly covering their ears on both sides, later couldn't sleep from the noise and could only find a hole to burrow into.

……

……

In the following time, it was basically the same old routine.

Inspecting Spirit Fields.

Bringing people for tours.

Resolving Qingxuan's troubles.

And watching one's own people duel along the way.

Hu Bugui was deliberately targeted by many opponents because of his dueling methods.

Although he could indeed defeat opponents sometimes, he ultimately couldn't compare to someone with real combat experience.

Therefore, after winning a few matches, he began losing consecutively, and his points were about to drop to zero.

In contrast, Han Su had always been steady and cautious, with wins and losses, and currently had no problems.

As for Ruo Qunshuang, even without much combat experience, relying on a full set of high-grade spirit weapons and spirit talismans, even the most formidable opponents were helpless against her; she hadn't lost a single match until now.

Suddenly one day, an incident occurred, and someone died.

The attacker was a disciple of Dongting Immortal Sect, and the deceased was a disciple of an ordinary cultivation sect.

Not just one, but several times consecutively within a single day.

"Immortal Sect disciples don't take ordinary sect disciples seriously at all!"

"Isn't this bullying people?"

"Relying on the Immortal Sect to do as they please?"

The originally fairly harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken.

The conflict between Immortal Sects and ordinary cultivation sects grew greater and greater.

Whichever side, it seemed they had truly lost their temper, and the Duels Platform became increasingly out of control.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the corpses among the crowd, then swept toward the "culprit" on the left side, recognizing several fairly familiar faces.

Miao Huayu beside him said in a low voice: "That... that fellow seems to be from the Linghe Association?"

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow and thought to himself: "Can't sit still again?"

Although it's true that dueling mistakes can kill people, and that's very normal.

But within a single day, disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects kept appearing one after another, and killing disciples of ordinary cultivation sects was as if they had agreed on it beforehand.

Any normal person would keenly notice this point.

"Why did you kill him?"

"A mistake, I made a mistake!"

"Why should disciples of our Immortal Sect care about the life or death of ordinary cultivation sect disciples?"

Originally just a normal inquiry, but there was always someone nearby fanning the flames and speaking with hidden barbs.

In their words, they completely disregarded anyone outside the Three Great Immortal Sects.

A single sentence infuriated the surrounding people, and the two sides instantly became like fire and water.

Even someone declared that if the Immortal Sect did not give an explanation and severely punish the culprit, they would definitely carry out similar acts in retaliation.

Seeing the situation growing increasingly out of control, Xu Zhangqing brought Ruo Qunshuang, Miao Huayu, and others to quickly leave the scene, not wanting to wade into this muddy water.

Everyone's mood was very heavy, after all people had died, and several had died.

Ruo Qunshuang couldn't help but say: "I still have a duel today."

Xu Zhangqing reminded: "Then you have to be careful; running into disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects is fine, but if it's disciples of other cultivation sects, I reckon they would..."

Although the words weren't finished, everyone present, including Ruo Qunshuang, knew what it meant.

Under the current circumstances, disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects had already formed an opposition with disciples of other cultivation sects.

Previously they were somewhat restrained, but now they would absolutely strike to kill.

Ruo Qunshuang still couldn't understand: "How could people die?"

Xu Zhangqing patted her shoulder, then glanced at Miao Huayu and the others: "People dying is normal; what's abnormal is several dying at once, and all of them being disciples of ordinary cultivation sects."

Miao Huayu thoughtfully: "Senior Brother thinks there's a problem?"

Xu Zhangqing quickly waved his hand: "I didn't say that; you said it."

Miao Huayu was stunned: "Uh."

Xu Linshan and the others nearby couldn't hold back anymore.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing sensed someone spying on him in the dark; relying on his feeling, he glanced sideways and discovered it was Ji Mingxuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other party stood in place, quietly watching, motionless.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing directly sent a voice transmission: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Ji Mingxuan reminded: "Be careful, next it will..."
