Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Han Su returned to the Spiritual Vein Resting Place.

Because there was no expression on his face, one could not tell joy from sorrow.

An acquaintance beside him couldn't help but ask, "Did you borrow the rice?"

Han Su glanced at the other person, then shook his head: "Didn't borrow any."

"As expected."

"Spirit Rice prices are skyrocketing right now, how could you possibly borrow any!"

"Looks like that Senior Brother Xu you praise every day is nothing special after all."

"How about we make another trip to the Loose Cultivator Market in a few days?"

Hearing the mocking voices of the surrounding people, Han Su still remained expressionless.

Even his heart was completely calm.

Clearly he had borrowed the rice, yet he refused to admit it.

Why?

Because these fellows are unreliable!

If he admitted it, he would face two consequences.

One, these fellows would leak the news.

Two, it wouldn't matter if something happened to him, but it would implicate Senior Brother Xu.

The matter of not going to the Loose Cultivator Market actually gave Han Su a wake-up call.

He walked toward the other side.

After there was no one nearby.

He immediately took out a Communication Talisman from his Small Storage Bag.

……

At the same time, the Spirit Field Core.

Bai Ling'er had finished casting the Small Cloud Rain Art and was eating a roasted sweet potato.

At this moment, her elder sister Bai Zhu'er revealed a disappointed expression, then asked, "Judging by this, I can't get Second-grade Spirit Rice from you, huh?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly: "Correct."

Bai Zhu'er instantly lost patience, called out: "Then there's nothing to talk about, Younger Sister, let's go."

"My elder sister is just like this, let's go." Bai Ling'er was a bit embarrassed.

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing didn't mind much.

Han Su spent nearly three years to exchange for a shred of trust.

Yet he only managed to borrow 250 catties of Second-grade Spirit Rice.

This Bai Zhu'er is a stranger.

Neither familiar, nor understood.

On what grounds would she cooperate just because she says cooperate?

If the news leaked out.

Dealing with Spirit Farmers would still be manageable.

But if it attracted the attention of the Nongxin Society, that would be bad.

The first time Xu Zhangqing went to the Hongfeng Valley Market.

He had already witnessed how overbearing this power was.

Either cooperate.

Or be suppressed.

He didn't want to be disturbed every day.

At this moment, a vibration came from his Storage Bag.

Seeing the Bai sisters fly far away, Xu Zhangqing took out a Communication Talisman from his Small Storage Bag.

"Senior Brother Xu!"

"Does Junior Brother have any other business?"

"I'm going to the Loose Cultivator Market, does Senior Brother want to buy anything?"

"Loose Cultivator Market?"

"Right, it's the place where I helped Senior Brother buy spells before."

"You confirm a time, I'll go with you!"

If he hadn't reached Foundation Establishment, Xu Zhangqing definitely wouldn't be willing to go out.

Mainly because he had no confidence in his heart.

But now it's different, his strength has improved.

Going over there to take a look is fine too.

Soon, the two set a time.

Right tomorrow, Xu Zhangqing would go find Han Su to meet up.

Next, he sat cross-legged on the Spirit Field Ridge, absorbing Wood Spirit Qi.

It had to be said that during Qi Refining, the Five-layer Changqing Technique indeed had astonishing results.

But once he reached Foundation Establishment, especially after opening his Qi Sea,

he found that even with a vast amount of Wood Spirit Qi, progress was extremely slow.

That refreshing feeling disappeared.

Replaced by "dissatisfaction."

Obviously, low-grade techniques could no longer meet the needs of Foundation Establishment.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

After finishing cultivation, Xu Zhangqing cooked meals for Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken, then stepped onto a Flying Paper Crane and soared into the air.

Half an hour later, he arrived near the spiral Kengdong of the Spiritual Vein.

At a glance, he saw Han Su waiting on the ground.

"Junior Disciple." Xu Zhangqing descended on his Flying Paper Crane.

Han Su looked up, instantly surprised: "Senior Disciple already has a Flying Paper Crane!"

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "If I don't get a travel tool, I can't possibly walk here, can I?"

Hearing this, Han Su was extremely embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

Xu Zhangqing asked: "How do we go to the Loose Cultivator Market?"

Han Su pointed toward the direction of Zhuqi Peak and said: "First go up there to take a Flying Sword."

Hearing the two words "take," Xu Zhangqing seemed to return to his previous life.

He instantly developed a strong interest.

He immediately brought Han Su and soared into the air, heading toward Zhuqi Peak.

Shortly after, a huge mountain peak floating in the air appeared ahead.

But astonishingly, it was not composed of stone, trees, or soil.

From top to bottom, it was all metal.

High, at least a hundred zhang.

Long, at least several hundred zhang.

Floating in the air like this, majestic like a mountain.

Before it, humans were tiny as ants.

Plus the intense Metal Spiritual Energy it emitted.

Making Xu Zhangqing very uncomfortable, his heart even resisted it.

Han Su noticed and hurriedly asked with concern: "Senior Disciple, are you alright?"

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath: "No, because it's my first time here, so the pressure is great."

Han Su nodded slightly: "When I first came, I felt the same way."

Fortunately, being an Earth Spiritual Root, his pressure resistance was strong.

As the number of trips increased, he gradually adapted.

The Flying Paper Crane kept going upward, and finally a square appeared.

Very spacious, with many people.

Many buildings a hundred meters high were being built.

In places like Spirit Fields, Ling Beast Valley, Hongfeng Valley, etc.

The most common travel tools seen were Flying Paper Cranes and land spirit beasts.

But here, Xu Zhangqing looked around.

He saw flying shuttles, flying boats, and flying ships.

But the most numerous were golden flying swords.

They were extremely wide, comparable to the deck of a flying ship.

Coming and going, constantly weaving among these hundred-meter-high buildings.

Han Su pointed to a building to the left front and said: "To go to the Loose Cultivator Market, we must first take the Giant Flying Sword in the Sword Pavilion."

Xu Zhangqing was astonished: "I thought the Formal Disciples here spent all day forging various spirit tools, but unexpectedly they are flying flying swords?"

Han Su explained: "Every Formal Disciple of Zhuqi Peak is an apprentice, but unless backed by an immortal cultivation clan or valued by an Immortal Master,

otherwise, before reaching Foundation Establishment, they obtain points through such tasks."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood: "I see."

Afterward, the two arrived at a Sword Pavilion.

There were two payment methods for riding.

Either deduct points.

Or spend spirit stones.

But not calculated by distance, rather by time.

From Dongting Immortal Sect to the Loose Cultivator Market takes one hour.

Round trip -10 points.

Or -20 low-grade spirit stones.

Xu Zhangqing and Han Su chose to spend spirit stones, then boarded a Giant Flying Sword.

At the sword hilt was an array eye, with a middle-grade spirit stone floating.

The sword body was engraved with a large number of patterns, flashing from time to time.

At the sword tip position, a male disciple with a Metal Spirit Root stood guard.

Whoever came up would be scrutinized with a sharp gaze.

No wonder they say enemies meet on a narrow road.

Xu Zhangqing and Han Su had just sat down cross-legged.

Suddenly, Zhang Er came up with three people.

It appeared they also intended to go to the Loose Cultivator Market.

When he saw Xu Zhangqing, Zhang Er was quite surprised.

The two of them, you look at me, I look at you.

For the first moment neither spoke, simply staring wide-eyed at each other.

A few seconds later, Zhang Er said with a playful expression: "Junior Brother Xu, unexpected to run into you here."

Xu Zhangqing said blandly: "Dao Friend Zhang, likewise."

"Hmm?" Zhang Er froze for a moment, then his expression turned very ugly.

In the past, upon running into him, the other party had to respectfully call out Senior Brother.

Now he actually doesn't call out anymore!!!
