Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Harvesting the Red Flame Dragon Lingzhi went more smoothly than Xu Zhangqing had imagined.
At first he thought he would have to fight over it with the few people from the Yanguang Sect, even come to blows.
Unexpectedly, the moment they heard they were from the "Dongting Immortal Sect," they immediately became polite.
Even though the Red Flame Dragon Lingzhi is a type of Rare Spirit Plant, and moreover one of the main ingredients for refining Nascent Soul Pills, they still handed it over with cupped hands.
The root cause was that the Yanguang Sect, originally belonging to the Central Region, in order to develop more safely in the future, was preparing to relocate with the full strength of the entire sect, and their destination was the Eastern Region.
If they could cooperate with the most powerful cultivation force in the locality, namely the Dongting Immortal Sect, it would absolutely be more benefit than harm for Lin Xiaoyan and the others.
Since that was the case, rather than offend people here, it was better to make friends.
Even after the harvesting was finished, Xu Zhangqing and the others deliberately strolled around the entire Chi Yan Valley, checking the overall situation, and only after confirming there were no omissions did the four people and one cat turn and leave.
"Goodbye!"
"Senior Xu, have a smooth journey!"
"We'll meet again in the Eastern Region in the future!"
The four from the Yanguang Sect waved goodbye, smiles beaming on their faces.
On the Broken Moon Flowing Frost, Miao Huayu stroked the cat while exclaiming, "This is the benefit of becoming an Immortal Sect disciple."
Hu Bugui chuckled: "You're still too inexperienced."
Most of the time, everyone gives the disciples of the Three Great Immortal Sects a bit of face.
Especially when buying, auctioning, or exploring Secret Realms, one always encounters similar situations.
Say a thousand things, ten thousand things, it's just because they can't afford to offend, so they don't dare provoke.
But there are exceptions too; running into some who are unconvinced, or people who hate Immortal Sect disciples, at that time identity not only fails to bring benefits, but only brings drawbacks.
For example, in the "No-Management Area," if an Immortal Sect disciple so much as reveals their identity, they will definitely be targeted by those Calamity Cultivators.
In their eyes, Immortal Sect disciples equal fat sheep; their pockets must have good things.
Xu Zhangqing instructed: "Although these few have an element of opportunism, after all we arrived late, and they could have harvested it early.
Therefore, when the Yanguang Sect arrives in the Eastern Region, you must go pay them a congratulatory visit."
Hu Bugui nodded vigorously, and made a guarantee: "Alright, leave it to me."
Zhao Ziyue only knows how to fish, and usually can't be found.
Miao Huayu is extremely shy, and doesn't go out much.
Obviously, only Hu Bugui, who often goes out, can accomplish this matter.
As for Xu Zhangqing, from some unknown time, the people around him have become increasingly respectful.
Especially after this time ranking as an Earth-Grade Golden Core, he gradually became everyone's backbone, almost reaching the point of following his words without question.
……
……
In a flash, Xu Zhangqing and the others returned to the gathering point.
Compared to when they left, the number of people had decreased by another third.
Either they left this place.
Or they returned to the Immortal Sect.
And without exception, all were Golden Core Stage cultivators or cultivators below Golden Core Stage.
After all, the situation in the Central Region, especially the Black Rust Dynasty, no longer required them to continue participating.
Rather than waste time here, better to do what ought to be done.
Just like that, after waiting two more days, Zhang Su arrived late, finally reaching the gathering point.
One look at so few people, and he froze, thinking he'd come to the wrong place.
Xu Zhangqing explained: "The current situation no longer needs low- and mid-level cultivators; you came at just the right time, we can return to the Immortal Sect."
Zhang Su's fat cheeks twitched: "I just fucking got here!"
Before coming, he had already imagined all kinds of scenes.
Like participating in battles, killing a few monsters, showing off his prowess.
Or doing a few big deals, earning ten or twenty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Unexpectedly, after arriving he actually had to leave again, this is too outrageous.
An inexplicable feeling of "can't even catch up to hot shit," very uncomfortable.
Xu Zhangqing asked with a smile: "How about Senior Brother stays a few more days, experience the atmosphere here?"
Zhang Su rolled his eyes, then cursed grumblingly: "Stay a few more days, the whole gathering point will only have me left, what if monsters come?"
Up to now, he still hasn't broken through to Golden Core Stage.
In the Eastern Region it's no problem, but the Central Region is full of man-eating monsters everywhere.
And this trip out, first was to cooperate with the Beast-Taming Bai Family, second was to use this opportunity to make a big profit, thereby having enough Spirit Stones to purchase resources needed for the Tribulation Crossing.
Like Spirit Pills, Spirit Talismans, Spirit Tools, and the higher the grade the better.
Yet unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tiger's head and snake's tail — a fizzle.
Suddenly, a passerby enthusiastically called out: "True Man Xu, returning to the Immortal Sect together?"
Xu Zhangqing waved his hand at the other party: "No need, you go back first."
Zhang Su was stunned for a moment, muttering the three words "True Person Xu" under his breath, then suddenly realized something and immediately looked at the person before him in shock.
Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage have no titles; they belong to the lower-class cultivators.
Only upon reaching the Golden Core Stage can one be respectfully addressed as "True Person."
Only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage can one be called "True Lord."
Others calling Xu Zhangqing "True Person" was no joke; the result was obvious.
Zhang Su took a deep breath and stammered, "Junior Brother Xu... you... you you..."
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Yes, Junior Brother has already ranked as Earth Grade Golden Core."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Su's lungs were like an old bellows, going "huff huff" several times before he recovered.
His eyes were already full of shock.
The other party had entered the Door several years later than him, yet unexpectedly, nearly ten years had passed, and he had actually ranked as Golden Core one step ahead of him, and moreover, it was the rarer Earth Grade Golden Core with awakened divine abilities.
The shock brought by this news was no less than the Zhang Family being expelled from the Immortal Sect.
More importantly, he was almost fifty, while the other party was not yet forty.
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing stepped forward and quickly took the other's hand: "Senior Brother's past kindness, Junior Brother absolutely dare not forget."
"If there are any requests in the future, as long as I can do it, I will spare no effort."
Seeing the other party look so sincere, Zhang Su couldn't help but take a deep breath, try to calm himself down, then smiled bitterly: "Junior Brother, Junior Brother, Senior Brother's only person he didn't misjudge in this life is probably only you."
Looking at someone younger, and whose identity and status were neither as good as his own.
Growing step by step to such a height, his mood at this moment was extremely complex.
Both happy for the other party, and a bit envious and jealous.
Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing was someone who remembered old feelings.
And would not change his attitude one hundred and eighty degrees just because his strength, identity, and status changed, so he was worth making deep friends with.
What he was like before, he still is now; his original intention remains unchanged.
Afterwards, Zhang Su, accompanied by Xu Zhangqing, made a trip to the Ziyuan Chu.
He exchanged the remaining resources on his person for spirit stones and points.
Then he stayed not a moment longer, bringing Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Miao Huayu, and Xu Linshan, who had just lost his "job," as well as a little black cat of unknown origin.
Everyone rose into the air and flew toward Dongyu!
