Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
A flash of praise crossed Mu Yunsheng's eyes: "Good!
As expected of the one in charge of the Spirit Fields, you truly have guts.
When you cultivate Hun-Nourishing Grass, I will teach you the Skinning Technique."
Xu Zhangqing made an "oh" sound, seeming somewhat dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Mu Yunsheng thought for a moment: "Of course, I can teach you something in advance."
Xu Zhangqing's eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested: "What?"
Mu Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "Although this technique is considered an evil technique, it is actually the inheritance of ancient skin masters; the key lies in borrowing form to hide spirit, not in harming people.
To master it, three conditions must be met, none can be lacking."
Xu Zhangqing focused his mind and listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.
Mu Yunsheng continued: "First, Spiritual Root compatibility.
You have a Wood Spiritual Root, which happens to meet the requirement.
Wood attribute is good at maintaining the illusion of vitality, allowing the demon skin worn on the body to always retain the spiritual resonance of a living thing, extending usage time and making it less likely to be backlashed by the demon skin."
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "I see."
Mu Yunsheng continued: "Second, Divine Sense requirement.
You are already a Golden Core True Person, your Divine Sense strength far surpasses Foundation Establishment, so this condition is also met.
But remember, when cultivating in the future, be extra vigilant; if control deviates even slightly, the lingering thoughts of the demon beast will invade your Sea of Consciousness, lightly causing your spirit to fall into a trance, heavily causing you to become a puppet."
Xu Zhangqing deeply agreed, and his expression immediately became solemn.
Mu Yunsheng took out a yellowed beast skin scroll: "Third, core material.
It is divided into beast skin, demon skin, strange skin, and other types; different skins have different sewing methods.
The rarer it is, the more important the sewing is; only in this way can more abilities be retained."
Xu Zhangqing took the beast skin scroll and felt it was quite heavy in his hand.
He then carefully observed it and found that twisted runes were carved all over it, faintly exuding a demonic aura.
It seemed that the so-called sewing was not simply stitching together, but required the aid of many things, one of which should be these twisted runes.
He did not hesitate at all and immediately imprinted it with his Divine Sense, storing it in his mind.
Perhaps, by studying these runes, he could master the Skinning Technique.
After all, he had an advantage no one else had: any entry-level cultivation method, spell, or skill could be forcibly raised to Full Level using lifespan.
Even if it was a fragmented edition, or even just a single page, it could be done.
Mu Yunsheng soon took back the beast skin scroll and said lightly: "As for more detailed content, we'll talk about it after I see the Hun-Nourishing Grass, how about it?"
Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Fine!"
Afterward, the two chatted about other things.
Just like talking about family matters, they rambled on about this and that.
They did not discuss any information about the Skinning Technique again, both showing great restraint.
Counting it up, this belonged to their truly meaningful "first meeting," and they definitely had to leave a good impression on each other.
Perhaps they would need the other's help at some point; having one more friend was definitely better than having one more enemy, and everyone understood this clearly.
Until half an hour later, seeing that he really couldn't chat anymore and had no topics left, Xu Zhangqing stood up: "Fine, then I'll return to the Spirit Fields."
"Wait."
Mu Yunsheng called out and reminded: "Speaking of which, after a while, people from the Longhu Immortal Sect will come to our side for exchange.
Although their cultivation methods and spells are stronger, they have many Spirit Plant Seeds passed down from ancient times; you can take this opportunity to seek some."
Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "How come I didn't receive this news?"
Mu Yunsheng spread his hands: "Actually, your true responsibility is managing Spirit Plants.
The reason Spirit Fields were added is mainly to help the Farming Official manage on your behalf.
Even if news of this kind of exchange is to be notified, it would be notified to your master first."
Xu Zhangqing gave an awkward smile: "That's true."
Mu Yunsheng speculated: "Either at the end of this year, or at the beginning of next spring.
Exactly when they come here mainly depends on the situation of the Longhu Immortal Sect."
Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands: "Thank you, Valley Master, for informing me; I will prepare."
Afterward, he took the Hun-Nourishing Grass seeds and turned to leave.
When he came out, he found Zhao Mo was no longer there.
He guessed it was because Zhao Mo had something to do and left early.
……
……
Xu Zhangqing rode the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, flying toward Hongfeng Valley all the while, and in his mind calculated the matter of cultivating Hun-Nourishing Grass.
Although there were two choices for the spirit soil, Qingmu Peak or the Personal Space.
But he understood that it was best to first make contact with Qingmu Peak.
Hun-Nourishing Grass was too rare; once cultivated, this news could not be hidden.
Those senior sisters and brothers will find out sooner or later.
By then, if they ask where the spirit soil and five-colored earth came from, how should I answer?
Obtained from outside?
Everyone knows I never go outside!
And this thing isn't something you can just get whenever you want.
Linghe Sect might have had some before, but now they don't even have an island anymore.
The personal space is my hidden card, and it absolutely cannot be exposed.
After much thought, he took out Second Senior Brother's communication talisman from the Fangcun Ring.
But just as he was about to infuse a strand of magic power, he suddenly stopped and quickly switched to another one.
"Sixth Junior Brother?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, I want to ask you something!"
"What is it?"
"I want to get some third-grade spirit soil, even fourth-grade five-colored earth—can it be done?"
"If you're on Qingmu Peak, of course you can, but if you want to take it out, it's nearly impossible!"
The Ling Tian Periphery is first-grade spirit field, called common soil.
The core is second-grade spirit field, called black soil.
Qingmu Peak is third-grade spirit field, called spirit soil.
And fourth-grade spirit field as well as five-colored earth can only be used by the master.
As for the legendary fifth-grade breath soil, immortal sects might have some, but they can't reach it.
Xu Zhangqing felt quite surprised: "It's that strict?"
Gu Qiao explained: "Spirit soil, as the name suggests, is soil rich in spiritual energy."
Only places rich in spiritual energy can give birth to it.
Once taken away from Qingmu Peak, the spiritual energy in the spirit soil will quickly dissipate, and even in Hongfeng Valley it cannot be maintained."
Xu Zhangqing was a bit unwilling: "There's no other way?"
Gu Qiao didn't answer, but instead asked back: "Why do you want spirit soil?"
Xu Zhangqing told the truth: "I have a Hun-Nourishing Grass seed on hand; if I want it to take root and grow, I need at least third-grade spirit soil."
On Gu Qiao's side there was silence for a moment, as if somewhat shocked: "Hun-Nourishing Grass?"
That's a spirit plant that disappeared several thousand years ago—where did you get it?"
Xu Zhangqing replied: "This is a transaction between me and the Spirit Beast Valley Master; as long as I help him cultivate it, I can... obtain benefits."
Gu Qiao said seriously: "This spirit plant will consume a large amount of spiritual energy, and its nutritional requirements are extremely high."
Second-grade spirit field absolutely won't do; you must not try it."
Xu Zhangqing asked helplessly: "Then what should I do?"
Gu Qiao pondered: "If it really won't work, you give this to me."
Xu Zhangqing had been waiting for exactly these words, and immediately grinned: "Fine!"
Originally, he had planned to ask Second Senior Brother, who had better talent, to help him.
But thinking that Su Tiantian was by his side, he decisively gave up.
Third Senior Brother Qin Ye was out on experience training and couldn't help for the time being.
Therefore, the honest and dutiful Fourth Senior Brother undoubtedly became the best choice!
