Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The discussion was basically over; the various Peak Masters and representatives departed one after another.

Xu Zhangqing had just risen, preparing to leave along with them, when he heard Great Elder Xuan Yan's voice sound beside his ear: "You stay for a moment."

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly halted his steps.

Seeing this, the remaining people all revealed thoughtful expressions.

Once only Xu Zhangqing, Xuan Yan, and Hall Artifact Spirit Hao Yuan remained inside the hall, he cupped his hands in salute: "I wonder what instructions the Great Elder has?"

Xuan Yan rose from his meditation cushion and asked: "Do you know why Qingmu Peak sent no representative this time, but instead had you make up the numbers here?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then spoke the truth: "I have some guesses, but as for the exact situation, I truly am not clear.

You should know, I have always lived in the Spirit Field, so I don't know Qingmu Peak very well."

Xuan Yan stood with hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the hall doors to look at the brilliant starry sky outside: "A group of people took advantage of your Master's seclusion to stir up trouble.

Among them, several even wanted to drag you down with them."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Su Qingyao?"

Xuan Yan gave a slight nod: "It's her, and not only her."

Xu Zhangqing had long since known, but still feigned a look of just now understanding: "No wonder Master, Senior Brother Zhu, they had me go out for a trip."

"Only by leaving the Vortex would you avoid being implicated."

"What was their end?"

"Endangering the Immortal Sect, bringing calamity to the Tianyuan Realm — naturally they met death and their Dao vanished!"

After this exchange of words, the two finally laid out the whole sequence of events clearly.

Initially, Xu Zhangqing was indeed puzzled; now, after a talk with the Great Elder, combined with some previous information, he more or less understood Qingmu Peak's current situation.

It seems the several Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers, especially the Eldest Senior Sister, are under tremendous pressure.

When it comes down to it, I only count as a fringe figure.

People like them must be suffering even more attacks.

Who knew that at this moment, Xuan Yan would say with pointed meaning: "Qingmu Peak is currently short of manpower; if you are willing to move over, an Elder's position would be more than yours for the taking."

Hearing these words, anyone else might be overwhelmed with favor.

After all, being Spirit Field Grain Master on top of Qingmu Peak Elder — that status, treatment, benefits, in every aspect, are simply outrageous.

Xu Zhangqing was different; instead his heart gave a start: "Why does the Great Elder suddenly want me to move away from Hongfeng Valley?"

It's quiet there, with plenty of room for activity.

To speak honestly, having lived there this long, I've long grown accustomed to it.

Moving to Qingmu Peak, although I could gain all sorts of benefits, in the end it means distancing myself from the Spirit Field.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate much, and immediately cupped his hands: "Many thanks for the Great Elder's high regard, but Li Sancai has just taken office as Spirit Nurturing Envoy, and there is still the cooperation with the Yaoguang Nine Domains to follow up on.

If I leave suddenly, the Spirit Field will likely run into trouble.

Besides, I'm a person who likes quiet; I'll just keep guarding Hongfeng Valley."

Xuan Yan heard this and remained expressionless: "Each has his own aspirations; as you wish."

He raised his hand in a wave, and a jade box landed in Xu Zhangqing's hands.

He opened it to look; inside were three seeds.

Entirely purple-black, emitting a faint frost-like luster.

"Great Elder, this is?"

"Three seeds of 'Xuan Frost Purple Ganoderma'!"

"A reward? Assistance? Or..."

"You have already mastered the Four Seasons Classic, and will soon learn the Jiahe Record; just right to help me cultivate them."

Xu Zhangqing realized: "Understood!"

Xuan Yan waved his hand: "Go back."

Xu Zhangqing bowed with cupped hands to him and to Xingqiong Hall Artifact Spirit Hao Yuan: "Disciple takes his leave."

Afterward, he left Xingqiong Hall.

Driving the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, he flew toward the Spirit Fields below.

The Green Lotus Seat skimmed over the sea of clouds; Xu Zhangqing looked at the three seeds in the jade box, his expression turning grave: "This discussion, I not only saw the Immortal Sect's management layer, but also learned of the troubles currently faced by the Tianyuan Realm and the Immortal Sect."

One must say, every single matter is exceptionally dangerous.

In a few more years, the Water Spirit Qi may turn turbid; when that time comes, the Spiritual Energy will be polluted.

For Water Spirit Root and Wood Spirit Root cultivators, this will be an unprecedented blow.

So severe that they may even be unable to cultivate by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.

They can only rely on Spirit Veins and Spirit Plants to barely keep pace with the main force's footsteps.

After pondering carefully, Xu Zhangqing put the seeds away, then took out a Communication Talisman and injected his own magic power into it without the slightest hesitation.

As spiritual light flickered, a voice came from the other side very quickly.

"Hello?"

"Eldest Senior Sister, it's me!"

"Junior Brother Xu, first time attending a discussion — how do you feel?"

"Pretty good, everyone's been decent enough to me."

"Then that's settled, you'll have to attend from now on."

"Um... I want to say something to you, Eldest Senior Sister."

"What is it?"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

After speaking, Xu Changqing actively ended the communication.

On the other side, Bei Qingtang looked at the communication talisman in her hand that had lost its spiritual light; for some reason, her originally cold-as-frost face actually emerged a touch of warmth.

Arriving at Hongfeng Valley, it was already evening.

Seeing he had returned, Linglong immediately pounced over: "Daddy, you were gone for so long!"

Xu Changqing picked up his daughter, laughing: "Today, your dad really broadened his horizons."

Then, he briefly described the situation over there.

Of course, overly internal information was definitely not convenient to disclose.

Linglong seemed to half-understand, tilting her head: "Sounds really powerful!"

To her, it was like listening to a bedtime story.

The figures she heard about would all appear in her dreams.

Chi Ye twisted its plump body, leaned close and rubbed against his trouser leg: "Meow~"

Xu Changqing glanced at it, seeing it reveal an ingratiating expression, he originally planned to pet it.

As a result, Linglong in his arms struggled to get down on the ground, picked up the black cat and ran off.

"Meow!"

"Meow!!"

"Meow!!!"

In the air, came Chi Ye's howling cries.

Each one more heart-rending than the last.

It just wanted its master to hug it, pet it, how could it be that difficult.

Xu Changqing seeing this, shook his head with a helpless face, then walked toward the bedroom.

Time flew by, arriving at the next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Changqing brought Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng flying to the Core Management Office.

In the past, whether as a disciple or a Spirit Nurturer's identity, they could only land at the mountain foot and walk up the mountain together with everyone; this was the rule.

Now having become the He Lord, he didn't have to abide by this broken rule anymore.

However he wanted to fly he could fly; anyway no one managed it, and no one dared to manage it.

When they arrived, Li Sancai, Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan, Lin Xiaoman and others had already assembled.

Everyone respectfully, cupped fists and bowed: "Greetings, He Lord!"

Xu Changqing scanned the crowd, said in a deep voice: "After yesterday's discussion, the Immortal Sect has two requirements for our Spirit Fields.

One, next we must cultivate a batch of Pure Water Lotus Seeds.

Two, the quantity of Water Cloud Grass must increase by at least fivefold."

"They're all water-attribute spirit plants?"

"Looks like this is the trend going forward!"

"But currently, most people in the Qing Alliance are still planting spirit rice......"

Miao Huayu and the others exchanged glances.

Xu Changqing didn't pay them heed, instead looked at Li Sancai, instructed: "Still have to trouble Senior Brother to keep a close watch; this matter is of great importance, must not be careless."

Li Sancai nodded vigorously: "Rest assured, I will definitely not fail the He Lord's entrustment!"
