Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The day of the Spring Equinox.

Yun Ceng gathered from all directions, stacking continuously, their color turning from white to gray, finally shrouding the sky above most of the Spirit Fields.

It had been daytime just now, yet at this moment it was like the dead of night.

Heaven and earth fell utterly silent; even the cries of insects and birds had vanished.

Suddenly, pale forked lightning tore through the gloomy sky.

In this instant, all things were illuminated a ghastly white, losing their original colors.

Immediately after, a rumbling sound approached from afar, and the entire world trembled along with it.

Shasha-la!

Fine rain fell like silk, drifting with the wind.

Before long, the sky formed a hazy rain curtain, like smoke and mist.

Inside Hongfeng Valley, as a Spirit Talisman lit up, the dim room was illuminated.

It did not go out, but "froze" in midair, appearing exceptionally long-lasting.

Xu Zhangqing watched the first spring rain outside the window and nodded slightly: "Xiang'er, Feng'er, although most of the time we use the Great and Small Cloud Rain Technique to moisten the Spirit Fields and spirit plants.

In reality, this is all imitating natural rainfall.

And natural changes are often intimately connected with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi."

Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng, hearing this, both looked outside curiously.

The rain fell unhurriedly; listening to it was very healing, making one feel relaxed.

A pity that with their current abilities, they could only sense this much.

Xu Zhangqing raised his right hand, pointing toward the Spirit Fields: "In the past, the Spiritual Qi Tide would erupt on the day spring began.

But later the Dragon Vein of the Canglan Sea Region was severed, and the Spiritual Qi of the Tianyuan Realm changed accordingly, so this tide was delayed until the Spring Equinox."

Lin Feng keenly caught the key point: "Master, are you saying there will be a Spiritual Qi Tide in a moment?"

Xu Zhangqing turned his head, giving him an appreciative look, then explained: "This is why I taught you the Changqing Jue."

With the help of the Spiritual Qi Tide, plus the assistance of the spirit plants outside, with this child's ability, he will definitely be able to step into the Qi Refining Stage.

As for Xiang'er, she entered the sect not long ago, and her study time is still short.

For now, it is fine to just follow along to familiarize herself with the cultivation method and lay a solid foundation; she doesn't need to use the power of the tide to attempt a breakthrough like Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at Sun Shangxiang beside him and asked in puzzlement: "Master, didn't you say we must start learning from the basic knowledge of a Spirit Farmer, and only then cultivate the cultivation method?

How come Senior Sister... is different from me!"

Sun Shangxiang also felt puzzled about this.

Xu Zhangqing spread his hands, saying with slight helplessness: "Xiang'er is different from you; her constitution is not suited to cultivating spirit plants, so she can only cultivate the method first, and learn the knowledge bit by bit later."

Lin Feng then suddenly understood: "So that's how it is."

……

……

One teaches, two learn.

Just as the atmosphere was getting better and better.

Outside the house, the shasha-la sound of rain abruptly changed.

From rain threads it turned into bean-sized raindrops, striking the window lattice with a crackling "pipa" sound.

The sky dome even emitted a crisp "ka" sound, the commotion even more violent than before.

Such a scene naturally drew Xu Zhangqing's attention.

No, not only him.

Everyone who perceived it all raised their heads to look.

They saw the gray clouds shrouding the Spirit Fields — at this moment they seemed to be torn by an invisible giant hand, actually splitting open a crack from the middle, with sunlight faintly leaking out from the fissure.

Just as everyone was staring in shock and doubt, that crack suddenly expanded; the whole cloud layer, like shattered cotton wadding, was shredded to powder by an inexplicable force, scattering clean in the blink of an eye, leaving only a stretch of clear sky with an unusual feel.

Sun Shangxiang rubbed her eyes: "How can this rain stop just like that?

The dark clouds dispersed way too fast!"

Lin Feng tugged her sleeve, his voice tight: "Senior Sister, look at the sky!"

In the center of the sky dome, at the position where the gray clouds had dispersed, another crack suddenly split open.

A mass of dark gray cloud wisps seeped out from within, rotating counterclockwise along the crack; as it spun larger and larger, it quickly transformed into a giant vortex.

These clouds looked strange; the coverage area was a bit smaller, but the sense of oppression was even greater.

Inside the vortex, faint gray light swirled; even the air trembled along with it, and even the skin felt a subtle numbness.

Xu Zhangqing's pupils shrank slightly: "This is no ordinary dark cloud, but a Tribulation Cloud!"

The moment his words fell, a muffled boom came from the Nine Heavens above.

A green light pillar shot into the sky, radiating across most of the sky dome, transforming into the illusory shadow of a towering giant tree, its branches, leaves, and veins even visible — simply lifelike.

Looking closely, it actually resembled Qingmu Peak, one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks.

If one's insight was astonishing, one would discover a human figure standing within it.

Ruo Qunshuang, bringing Linglong, Wangwang, Wangzai, the black cat, Gege, and Fortress, ran over in a panic, unable to help asking: "Qing Ge, what happened?"

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath: "If I'm not mistaken, Senior Brother Zhu must be undergoing tribulation!"

Senior Brother Zhu is Zhu Fuxian, the Spirit Field Grain Master.

Because the two have a good relationship in private, they address each other this way.

At home, or in front of Ruo Qunshuang and others, they don't hide it at all.

Therefore, everyone who hears "Senior Brother Zhu" naturally knows who it is.

For now, there aren't many people who can get Qingmu Peak to help.

And among those undergoing tribulation right now, there are only two.

One is Zhu Fuxian.

The other is Grandmaster Mu Ji.

If it's the latter, the commotion will be huge.

After all, that's the scene of a Nascent Soul breakthrough into Spirit Severing.

Therefore there's only one possibility: the one undergoing tribulation is Zhu Fuxian.

From this we can see that he ultimately still chose to take this step.

Not undergoing tribulation, he could live a few more years.

Undergoing tribulation, if he fails, death is certain.

Given Xu Zhangqing's understanding of Zhu Fuxian, the other party long ago put life and death aside.

Linglong is short in stature and young in age, but upon seeing the figure in the sky, she immediately showed a worried expression: "Grandfather Zhu!"

Wangwang and Gegge, facing such a scene, were already scared into cowering in the corner, trembling.

Only the black cat, Wangzai, and Bao'er are currently still normal.

Among them, the black cat is the calmest, with a very placid gaze.

Xu Zhangqing thought it over and finally gritted his teeth: "You stay here; no matter what happens, do not go out."

Ruo Qunshuang hurriedly asked: "Qing Ge, what is this?"

Xu Zhangqing stared fixedly at the figure in the sky: "I'm going to Qingmu Peak!"

Ruo Qunshuang, hearing this, stepped forward and tugged his sleeve, saying seriously: "That's Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, with tremendous power; you'd better not go."

Xu Zhangqing held her slightly cold small hand: "Don't worry, Qingmu Peak, as one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, has many defensive measures."

I'm inside, even safer than being here.

The reason I go is just to... be a little closer to Senior Brother Zhu!"

Seeing she couldn't stop him, Ruo Qunshuang had to let go; the two had shared a bed and pillow for many years, naturally understood each other's temper, and therefore nodded: "Fine, go."

Xu Zhangqing touched her head with his right hand, then glanced at the people and spirit pets around him, and only then did his body flicker, disappearing from the spot at extreme speed.

When he reappeared, he was already in the sky.

Then, with determined eyes, he flew toward the increasingly violent tribulation clouds and the faintly visible hunched figure!
