Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing saw it was Pei Mo, immediately withdrew his gaze, waited for the spiritual light around his body to settle, then slowly opened his mouth, his voice passing through the rain curtain: "Old Pei, come in."

This "Old Pei" was not just casually said.

First, the other party was older himself, already over forty.

Second, their private relationship was quite good.

Only upon hearing his voice did Pei Mo recover from his shock; after a moment of surprise and doubt in his heart, he quickly flew in through the entrance opened by the array.

Passing through layer upon layer of rain curtain, he finally arrived before Xu Zhangqing.

Not having seen each other for many years, the two looked at each other.

A familiar "sense of strangeness" arose spontaneously.

So many years had passed; everyone had changed, yet it seemed no one had changed.

The former Xu Zhangqing exuded shrewdness from head to toe.

Now he had become more restrained, appearing quite steady.

As for Pei Mo, several more scars had appeared on his body, making him increasingly rugged.

In a trance, both recalled the scene of their first meeting at the market.

The same people, the same place.

The only thing different was time.

Once young and in their prime, now increasingly profound, with many traces of wind and frost added.

Xu Zhangqing's aura around his body was gentle and mild; the awe-inspiring pressure from before had vanished, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion, and he immediately chuckled: "Old Pei is back!"

Pei Mo's expression was somewhat complex as he cupped his hands: "Xu Shixi... Grain Master!"

Xu Zhangqing immediately waved his hand: "We're all our own people; we don't need to be so polite."

Pei Mo smiled, his smile carrying a touch of bitterness: "You are now the Spirit Field Grain Master; I should address you as such."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward, raised his right hand and patted his broad shoulder, saying seriously: "What I was like before, I am still like now; this point has never changed."

With outsiders present, calling you Grain Master is no problem.

But if you still do so in private, then you don't treat me as a brother."

Hearing this, Pei Mo smiled again, this time with a touch of relief and ease: "That's more like it; if I had to be respectful every time I saw you, that would be too damn tiring."

Xu Zhangqing smiled, then took his hand and led him into the house: "Let's go in and talk."

The two passed through the rain curtain and came to the Ke Ting to sit down.

Ruo Qunshuang served two cups of steaming Jade Dew Spirit Buds, then tactfully left.

The tea fragrance wafted, diluting the moisture brought into the house, and even more so diluting that sense of strangeness.

Pei Mo looked at the steady Xu Zhangqing before him and couldn't help but sigh: "Do you remember back then, we were both struggling at the bottom."

You sold spirit rice and spirit wine; I had no choice but to go to the Central Region to soak in the Boiled Flesh Blood Pool.

Who could have thought that now you are honored as Spirit Field Grain Master, ranked Earth Grade Golden Core.

As for me... I'm still wandering the Foundation Establishment Stage until now."

Xu Zhangqing lifted his tea cup and took a sip, saying calmly: "Future matters, none of us can predict; walk every step well, live every day well."

"Indeed."

Pei Mo nodded, yet his face showed a look of reminiscence: "But thinking about it carefully, I do miss those times."

Xu Zhangqing curled his lips into a faint smile: "Correct; back then life was simple, just wanting to grow the spirit plants well and save up some cultivation resources."

How unlike now, having to deal with this and that, pondering over everything."

Chatting about past trivial matters, reminiscing about the past, the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

Pei Mo lifted his tea cup and took a sip; he originally liked drinking wine, not tea, but after tasting it his eyes brightened: "Good tea!"

Xu Zhangqing introduced: "This is the Jade Dew Spirit Bud of the Jade Dew Sect; the entire sect has only this one plant."

Pei Mo was surprised: "I remember, isn't the Jade Dew Sect gone?"

Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "Before, when I went to Dongqing City to visit my girlfriend... browse the Loose Cultivator market, I accidentally discovered it at an auction, and then bought it."

Pei Mo suddenly understood: "I see; once it was the Jade Dow Sect's heirloom treasure, only the most honored guests could taste a sip."

After saying this, he couldn't help but taste it again, then smacked his lips.

The tea had a sweet aftertaste, a fragrant aroma, and rich spiritual energy; whoever drank it felt comfortable all over.

Xu Zhangqing saw this: "If you like it, take some when you go back."

Pei Mo, hearing this, put down his tea cup, then brought up the main matter: "This time I'm back mainly to attempt to break through to the Golden Core Stage; being ranked Earth Grade would be best, and my aptitude isn't bad either."

I'm still missing a few auxiliary materials; I need to ask for your help."

Xu Zhangqing likewise put down his tea cup, then said with a serious expression: "Asking is too much; between you and me, whatever I have I'll definitely give you, or help you cultivate them."

Pei Mo immediately sighed in relief, then said: "One stalk of Pure Brightness Grass, and it must start at a hundred years old; two hundred years is better, three hundred years is best."

Besides that, there are also various miscellaneous cultivation resources, spirit rice, spirit wine, and the like; you give as you see fit, priced at market value."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Pure Brightness Grass?"

Isn't this stuff for dispelling poison?"

This kind of grass, not to mention now that he is Spirit Field Grain Master, he already knew about it back when he was a Spirit Nurturing Envoy.

It can neutralize and resolve the vast majority of toxins in the world.

From common snake venom and miasma poison, to demonic cultivators' bone-rotting poison and yaoguai's blood curse poison, the higher the vintage, the more domineering the detoxification ability.

Moreover, it also has an additional effect.

Brewed as tea, it can clear the mind and calm the spirit; long-term consumption can slowly enhance perception, and even has miraculous effects on cultivating pupil techniques.

Pei Mo said truthfully: "You also know, Ling Bi, relying on the fool Prince, has practically thoroughly occupied the current Black Rust Dynasty.

Benefiting from this, we people can continuously soak in the Boiled Flesh Blood Pool, and even the more dangerous Rou Chi Du Chi.

These years, to enhance my strength, I soaked in the poison pool many times in succession; although the improvement was not small, my body interior accumulated a large amount of toxins.

If I cannot break through to Golden Core Stage, I fear I will not live past sixty."

You must know, he is already over forty years old now.

In other words, only ten-odd years of lifespan remain.

This is also why, upon Awakening the Water Spirit Root, he wanted to break through immediately.

If he delayed any longer, he feared this life would just end hastily like this.

Xu Zhangqing pondered for a moment: "The Netherdark Grass I will help you gather; as for cultivation resources, I can give them right now."

Speaking, he took out a batch from the Fangcun Ring, then handed them over.

The rice is Top-grade Spirit Rice.

The wine is Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Plus various Top-grade Lingti.

The quantity so great, the quality so high, simply beyond imagination.

Pei Mo both startled and delighted: "To be able to know you is my honor!"

On the surface, this is Xu Zhangqing cherishing the bond between the two.

The facts are indeed so.

But actually, there is another layer of reason.

Ever since Zhu Fuxian failed the Calamity and died body and Dao extinguished, Xu Zhangqing has become exceptionally heavy in valuing every close person beside him.

If he can help he helps, as long as it's not too excessive, he almost rarely refuses.

Pei Mo put away the cultivation resources, thought back and forth, fished out a few items, looking like some kind of animal or yaoguai's skin bag: "I see you have three children, this is Wind Biao Horse hide, stitched together with the Skinning Technique."

Just blow a breath, and on the spot it can come alive, becoming a Travel Tool on the ground!"
