Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
After Zhao Chengdao's family stayed, the valley gained a few more touches of everyday life.
During the day, Zhao Chengdao followed Xu Zhangqing through the spirit fields; sometimes the two squatted on the field ridges pondering the growth of spirit rice, sometimes they exchanged insights on rare spirit plants.
Both were spirit farmers by origin, and each was experienced, so their gains were abundant.
Meanwhile, Ruo Qunshuang took Liu Shi and Zhao Nianhe for a stroll in the valley, enjoying the breeze and the scenery.
Occasionally they would be pestered by Linglong, and several of them would feed Wangwang, Wangzai, the black cat, and other spirit pets together.
At night, Xu Zhangqing pulled Zhao Chengdao to sit in the pavilion and brewed a pot of spirit tea: "Brother Dao, I heard the Longhu Immortal Sect's spirit plant inheritance is very ancient?"
Zhao Chengdao took a sip of tea: "To be honest, in terms of the richness of spirit plant varieties, we indeed cannot compare with Dongting Immortal Sect.
But Longhu Immortal Sect's inheritance spans tens of thousands of years, and they indeed have collected not a few spirit plant seeds passed down from ancient times, such as Zhenyue Zhi, which stabilizes spiritual veins, and Xuanlan, which nourishes the divine soul."
Xu Zhangqing immediately asked: "Can we trade some?"
Zhao Chengdao showed a troubled expression: "These kinds of seeds are sect treasures; trading them externally is extremely difficult, and ordinary people can't even touch them.
But... if you truly want them, I can try.
The steward on the spirit field side has a close relationship with my master; perhaps it can be done."
If anyone else brought up this topic, he would definitely refuse, even turn hostile.
But the person before him was different.
Not to mention their good relationship, what's more, the other party was a Spirit Field Grain Master.
Being able to ask him for help was giving him considerable face.
Whether it could succeed was uncertain, but he absolutely could not refuse.
Xu Zhangqing had been a bit disappointed, but after hearing this he was delighted inside, and immediately cupped his hands: "Then I thank you, Brother Dao!"
Zhao Chengdao waved his hand: "Why be so polite with me!"
Afterward, the two chatted about family matters until the night grew deep, then each returned to their room to rest.
Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, or rather from the Golden Core Stage onward, cultivation was like storing water in a pool; unless encountering some opportunity, one could only accumulate bit by bit.
The time required was extremely long.
Therefore, spiritual energy, spirit stones, and spirit plants were all indispensable.
……
……
Time passed in a flash, and it was three days.
Because of the duel between the two sects, Tiexue Peak was especially lively.
Originally, Xu Zhangqing shouldn't have been interested in this kind of thing.
But who let it be that this time not only did Zhao Lie, ranked second among Longhu Immortal Sect's Core Disciples, even Lei Yuan, ranked first, came.
Battles of such people could not be missed no matter what.
Therefore, Xu Zhangqing brought Ruo Qunshuang, Linglong, as well as Sun Shangxiang, Lin Feng, and Zhao Chengdao's whole family to go together.
Wangwang and Wangzai were left in the valley; only the black cat was held by Linglong in her arms and taken away.
When they arrived at the place, Pei Mo and Zhao Ziyue had already been waiting for a long time.
Even, Hu Bugui brought Lin Xiaoyan, a Golden Core female cultivator of Yanguang Sect, to come together.
"Grain Master Xu!"
"No need for excessive courtesy."
"Looks like we're going to be soundly beaten by Longhu Immortal Sect."
"I say, Old Zhao, how can you build up others' prestige and destroy your own morale!"
"Even those ranked in the top five have come; how many of us... can take the field?"
Although Zhao Ziyue's words were unpleasant to hear, everyone present could not refute them.
If Pei Mo broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he would definitely go up to try.
After all, from childhood to adulthood no one submitted to anyone else; no matter what, they had to compare high and low.
It was a pity that he was currently at the Foundation Establishment Stage and would not break through in a short time.
As for the current Dongting Immortal Sect, it was somewhat a case of green and yellow not connecting.
Qin Baili had gone missing.
Li Lingbi had gone to the Central Region.
Chu Qiu had also gone to the Central Region.
Although there were Core Disciples willing to stay in the immortal sect, there really weren't many powerful ones.
Xu Zhangqing swept a glance over everyone and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, the duel is about to begin."
Seeing him speak, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue then closed their mouths, and then looked toward the dueling platform.
At this moment, Tiexue Peak's dueling platform was enveloped by a spiritual array.
Spiritual light flickered, spiritual runes faintly appeared.
And on both sides of the dueling platform stood the Core Disciples of Dongting Immortal Sect and Longhu Immortal Sect respectively.
The time had come, and an elder announced loudly: "The drawing of lots is over; the duel begins."
First battle, Yanguang Sect's Xiao Qian, against Dongting Immortal Sect's Mo Sha!
As soon as the words fell, a blue figure flashed onto the dueling platform — it was Xiao Qian, clad in a blue robe.
He held the Lei Ling Sword, sword light flowing, his whole body's aura sharp; the moment he landed he drew bursts of cheers from the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect disciples.
On the Dongting Immortal Sect side, Mo Sha walked out slowly.
He was burly of build, his skin bronze-colored, upper body bare, revealing knotted muscles.
His eyes were fierce like a beast's; he had no magic tools on him, only a piece of beast skin wrapped around his waist.
"A barbarian?"
"One look and you can tell he's from the Northern Domain, tsk tsk!"
"He doesn't even use a magic tool; Brother Xiao can finish him with one sword strike!"
Seeing this, the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect's core disciples all began to mock.
As for the Dongting Immortal Sect side, different people had different reactions.
Xu Zhangqing frowned slightly: "Now the only one left who can hold the scene is Mo Sha?"
He knew this person; he counted as a same-period entrant.
It's just that the other party had good aptitude and high comprehension, becoming a core disciple very early.
Moreover, in terms of talent and aptitude, he could be said to be on par with Chu Shixiong.
Zhao Chengdao spoke: "Xiao Qian's Lei Ying Fast Sword specializes in countering this type of person."
At this, Xu Zhangqing and the others didn't speak, eyes fixed staring at the dueling platform.
Thousand Illusions!
Xiao Qian gave a low shout; the moment the Lei Ling Sword left its sheath, thunder light exploded, transforming into dozens of sword lights, enveloping Mo Sha like a rainstorm.
Every sword light carried a sharp whistle tearing the air, so fast it gave no time to react.
The first attack, because both sides didn't understand each other, was chosen as a probe.
However even so, this move was enough to leave most people with no way to dodge.
After all it was astonishingly fast, and airtight.
Seeing this scene, Mo Sha's eyes were calm.
His burly figure was steady as a mountain peak, not even showing any intention to dodge.
Left hand formed a seal, earth magic power activated.
The ground instantly rose up several zhang-high earth walls, blocking the first wave of sword lights like a copper wall and iron wall.
At the same time right hand formed a seal, wood magic power quietly circulated, building a layer of green barrier for himself.
Immediately after, the full-level Burning Heaven Poison Fire Art was activated with full force, pale green flames ignited, the flame edges even rippling with a strange ink-colored gloomy light.
Xiao Qian originally didn't take Mo Sha seriously; he had been to the Northern Domain before, and killed who knows how many similar barbarians.
But this opponent, the moment they made contact, he felt a trace of danger.
Xiao Qian's gaze condensed, he couldn't help but say: "You barbarian actually have some skill."
As the words fell, his Golden Core spun rapidly, magic power surging and erupting.
The Lei Ling Sword in his hand trembled, suddenly swallowing and spitting thunder-electricity sword qi.
In a turn of an instant, its height exceeded ten zhang.
And it emitted "zila zila" sounds, making the onlookers' hair stand on end.
The next second, his body and the sword light merged into one, as if indistinguishable from each other.
In merely an instant, the wall in front was pierced through, and at the same time, a sharp unstoppable sword intent directly killed its way to Mo Sha's front.
The fine hairs on his body, as if "frightened", all stood on end.
Just at the moment when Xiao Qian, even the crowd, thought it would hit.
Mo Sha revealed a ferocious grin.
Then, the pale green flames permeating his body suddenly surged violently.
Toward the sword light before his eyes, they surged sky-covering and earth-covering.
Xiao Qian's complexion changed slightly, he immediately used thunder-electricity to protect himself.
However Mo Sha waved a hand, wood aided fire to burn, power suddenly multiplying several times.
Terrifying high temperature, even twisting the air, emitting a scorched smell.
The huge sword light shrank by half, even being inch by inch eaten away by the green fire.
The Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect's third-ranked core disciple, on the spot fell into a disadvantage.
It wasn't over; from all directions earth walls rose up one after another, quickly surrounding the two people; the people outside couldn't see the situation inside, even divine sense perception weakened a few degrees.
Just as everyone was shocked and uncertain, an "ah" miserable scream came from inside!
