Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Xu Changqing sat down, first placing the milk wine he had brought on the table, then holding the jade pendant storing the account book contents with both hands, slowly handing it over: "You look, I'll speak."

Zhu Fuxian gave a slight nod, then took the jade pendant into his hand: "Alright."

A sweep of divine sense, beginning to understand the contents inside.

Actually, whether he looked or not didn't matter; being able to bring the account book was the critical part.

This time sending Xu Changqing out, on the surface it was merely a task, but in reality it was to test his ability to handle matters.

Currently it appears, inside it contains not only Fengrao Commandery's account book.

But in the mortal world, on the Dongyue Great Yue Dynasty's side, all cooperative partners.

If one says, Xu Changqing only brought Fengrao Commandery's account book, at most it counts as passing.

And the more regions it contains, the higher the Immortal Masters' evaluation.

If he brought them all, regardless of content, it would actually already be full marks.

What's more, the other party has now broken through to Golden Core, and is ranked Earth Grade.

These things combined, can be called flawless.

Afterwards, Xu Changqing lifted the milk wine, first pouring for the other party to eight-tenths full, then pouring himself a full cup, only then beginning to narrate the events that occurred previously.

One, Fengrao Commandery subdued Wang Han.

Two, encountered Zhao Lie in the No-Management Area.

Three, Demon God Kong Fang crossed worlds to appear.

Four, the Three Great Immortal Sects' killing weapons all emerged.

Five, Yellow Spring Alliance sacrificed the Imperial Palace.

Six, Demon God Chi Ye attempted reincarnation.

Seven, encountered Yanguang Sect disciples in Chi Yan Valley.

Only picking major events, skipping minor ones, concealing secrets.

Zhu Fuxian, hearing something of interest, subconsciously picked up his wine cup and took a sip.

Drinking and drinking, the account book was finished reading, the news also heard more or less.

When Xu Changqing finished speaking entirely, a gratified smile emerged on his face.

"You did very well!"

"Unexpectedly, you are also a person with air luck on your body!"

"Able to break through to Earth Grade Golden Core before forty years old, truly satisfying this old man!"

You must know, even in a cultivation place rich in resources like Dongting Immortal Sect, and where disciples mostly have decent talent and aptitude, still not many people can break through to Earth Grade Golden Core.

Among them the majority, their limit is merely Human Grade.

Initially, Xu Changqing was merely a Wood Spirit Root who barely passed promotion after three assessments.

One could say ordinary, nothing special.

Later he gradually revealed talent, grew Extreme-grade Spirit Rice, entering the Immortal Masters' view.

With time passing, from an ordinary spirit farmer, becoming the Spirit Field's sole Spirit Cultivator, even about to...

However, the most satisfying place is actually Xu Changqing's character.

Toward those not as good as himself, treating all equally.

And toward those above himself, humble and courteous.

If he were off by even a little, it would be impossible to be appreciated by so many people.

Xu Changqing hesitated a moment, then took out three Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi: "Brother Zhu Shi, these are what I gathered in Chi Yan Valley, can be used to refine Nascent Soul Pills."

However, Zhu Fuxian merely glanced, yet did not take them: "Nascent Soul Pills I have here, and not just one.

This kind of rare spirit plant, you should keep for yourself."

Xu Changqing, hearing this, froze a moment, then put them away.

Zhu Fuxian comforted: "Some people's lives are like the broad-leaved ephemeral flower, only able to be brilliant for a moment.

Some people are like pines and cypresses on the mountain peak, experiencing frost and snow, only then able to display their towering magnificence."

Xu Changqing didn't know how to answer, could only lift his wine cup, raise it toward the other party in a toast, then drink it all in one gulp.

Zhu Fuxian raised his hand to catch a falling leaf, his pupils containing a hint of amusement: "An ordinary Wood Spirit Root at Golden Core stage, at most lives five hundred years.

And I, have already lived seven hundred years."

This is both fortune, and misfortune.

Fortune in living long, misfortune in... friends nearly all dead.

The yellowed veins on the fallen leaf, just like this aged body.

Suddenly a gust of wind came, blowing the bamboo forest into a "rustling" sound.

In a trance, he heard many people calling his name.

(Writing here, I cried!)

…

…

Xu Changqing stood outside the fence gate, gazing at the bamboo hut opposite, only seeing Zhu Fuxian standing alone before the hut, fingertips still pinching half a fallen leaf.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a lingering scent hovering around the tip of his nose.

It was neither the clear bitterness of new bamboo, nor the rice fragrance of the Spirit Field.

It was a kind of rotten feeling, like old wood soaked through with years and then sun-dried.

That scent was light as mist, yet pressed heavily on his heart.

In a daze, Xu Zhangqing returned to his home in Hongfeng Valley.

The little black cat finally escaped Xiao Linglong's claws, one running ahead, one chasing behind, with silver-bell-like laughter ringing out from time to time.

In the end, the little black cat jumped onto his shoulder, its already frail body trembling even more violently now.

Xiao Linglong crashed straight into his arms: "Daddy, hug!"

Xu Zhangqing was first stunned, then couldn't help but smile: "Alright, hug!"

Ignoring the little black cat's pleading "meow meow" cries, he bent down and picked up Xiao Linglong.

Then the two people and one cat, together, followed the corridor toward the room on the other side.

On the way, Wangwang and Wangzai, this father-son dog pair, came running over eagerly, followed by Gugu flapping her wings to catch up, and the procession grew larger and larger.

Inside the opposite door, Ruo Qunshuang watched the scene before her, her face beaming with a happy smile.

……

……

Time passed very quickly; in a blink, Xu Zhangqing had been back for seven days.

The news of his achievement of an Earth Grade Golden Core, though not spread throughout the entire Immortal Sect, was known to almost everyone in the Spirit Field Core Area.

"Senior Brother Xu... aiyah, now I have to call you Master Xu!"

"Back then, he even taught me how to transplant rice seedlings!"

"Yeah yeah, me too!"

With this, visitors came in an endless stream.

Those who knew him wanted to draw closer.

Those who didn't know him also wanted to get a familiar face.

The reason was simple: Golden Core cultivators who could stay in the Spirit Field Core were far too few.

Most Spirit Farmers, once they formed a Core, whether Human Grade or Earth Grade, had to go to Qingmu Peak to cultivate.

If it were before, Xu Zhangqing would definitely choose to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

But now he was already an Earth Grade Golden Core; even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't.

He simply threw open the main gate; no matter who came, he brewed a cup of hot tea and chatted for a while.

However, the person who surprised Xu Zhangqing the most was Lin An, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Ever since Zhang Laizi gave birth to the child, he had been living in Dongqing City.

This time, he must have heard the news that Xu Zhangqing was ranked an Earth Grade Golden Core, so he made a special trip.

When it comes down to it, there is still a Blood Talisman Contract between the two.

The Master has a happy event; how could the servant not be present.

Beside Lin An followed a boy not too old, upper body in a clean blue cloth short jacket, feet in soft-soled cloth shoes.

He had a head of black, fine, soft hair, eyes large and bright, nose straight and upturned.

At this moment hiding behind his father, nervously clutching his clothes corner.

Xu Zhangqing asked with a light smile: "Is it Lin Feng?"

Although the two had met before, last time they met Lin Feng was still an infant in swaddling clothes.

Even though he later came a few times with his father, his impression of Hongfeng Valley had long since blurred.

Not to mention, the current Xu Zhangqing was already ranked an Earth Grade Golden Core; his bearing was incomparable to the past.

Lin Feng nodded and answered: "Yes."

Seeing this, Lin An hurriedly urged: "Feng'er, why aren't you quickly kneeling down to kowtow to your Master!"
