Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "Master, why is the Si Geng cultivation method Earth attribute?"

The Four Seasons Classic and Jiahe Record, both of which I have cultivated, are all Wood attribute.

Yet, clearly the highest-grade cultivation method is instead called the "Zhen Di Classic."

To be honest, I couldn't quite understand it.

Mu Ji waved his hand: "Disciple, you are fixated on appearances."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned upon hearing this: "I misunderstood?"

Mu Ji said seriously: "Earth is the foundation, Wood is the use.

Dual resonances unite with the Dao, this is Zhen Di."

Xu Zhangqing thoughtfully said: "Disciple... understands a bit."

He really wasn't acting or lying.

Having learned so many cultivation methods and spells, his comprehension had already improved.

Seeing this, Mu Ji raised his right hand, then lightly tapped the void with his index fingertip.

Instantly, a wisp of yellow spiritual light and a wisp of green spiritual light entwined forth, weaving in the air into an illusory shadow of a tender sprout breaking through the soil, looking profoundly mysterious.

"You cultivate the Four Seasons Classic and Jiahe Record, seeing Wood and thinking of nurturing spirit plants, yet forgot the fundamental basis of spirit plant growth."

"Without Earth to bear, Wood cannot become a forest; without Wood to grow, Earth is dead soil."

"This Zhen Di Classic is not an Earth attribute cultivation method, but a manifestation of the farming Dao resonance."

As his voice fell, Mu Ji waved his hand again, the shadow transforming into countless scattered light spots across the sky, as if innumerable spiritual vein resonances were flowing: "Earth Spiritual Root cultivates bearing, Wood Spiritual Root cultivates life, and the core of the Zhen Di Classic is Bearing Life as One."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes flickered slightly, watching those light spots swirl around his fingertips, actually sensing a wisp of familiar vitality and a heavy aura.

Mu Ji's voice seemed to carry the resonance of heaven and earth: "Grain governs the fields, a small corner of spirit plant growth."

"Si Geng governs the Earth, the crisscrossing spiritual vein network beneath ten thousand fields."

"The Four Seasons Classic and Jiahe Record make spirit plants grow well."

"And the Zhen Di Classic makes the spiritual veins that bear spirit plants forever fresh."

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing felt as if hearing celestial music and briefly understood, only feeling his sea of consciousness turn clear, as if sensing the slowly pulsing spiritual veins.

His entire consciousness, thoughts, and mind suddenly spread out.

He felt as if embracing a hundred rivers and encompassing all things, himself becoming ever more "full of vitality."

A hint of appreciation appeared in Mu Ji's eyes, then he said: "The profundity of this classic lies in using non-action to govern action."

"You need not communicate with Earth Qi or mobilize earth-system magic power; simply use the vitality of your Wood Spiritual Root as a key, and you can awaken the spiritual vein resonance."

"The spiritual veins gain life and become active; vitality borrows the spiritual veins to flourish."

"The two circulate and reciprocate, this is dual resonances uniting with the Dao."

Xu Zhangqing felt suddenly enlightened.

His previous confusion vanished in an instant like smoke and clouds.

Replacing it was a clear and thorough comprehension.

At this moment, he understood his master's meaning.

The Earth of the Zhen Di Classic is not the Earth of the Five Elements, but the foundation of bearing.

Wood is not the Wood of the Five Elements, but the source of vitality, the spring of the four seasons.

Mu Ji solemnly said: "If you cling to attributes, you can only cultivate its superficial aspects."

"If you comprehend the two words Bearing Life, you can draw the spiritual veins as strings and play the melody of the immortal fields."

"And this is the true authority of Si Geng."

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands and bowed to him: "Disciple has been taught."

Mu Ji nodded slightly: "That Si Geng Token is forged from Xi Rang."

"Carrying it on your person will enhance your comprehension of Earth."

"Once Qing Tang has learned and achieved results, it will naturally be delivered into your hands."

……

……

Qingmu Peak, at Fourth Senior Brother Gu Qiao's place.

Xu Zhangqing rode the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat down: "Senior Brother, I'm here!"

Gu Qiao pointed at the Hun-Nourishing Grass and said firmly: "It's absolutely mature!"

Xu Zhangqing looked in that direction; the current Hun-Nourishing Grass had already grown to three feet tall.

Its leaves were purple, with faint light flowing through the leaf veins.

Three plump seeds were clustered at the top, their surfaces flashing with black light.

Xu Zhangqing saw this with his own eyes, then stepped forward and touched it.

Instantly, related information appeared one after another before his eyes.

Hun-Nourishing Grass

Ancient Spirit Plant

Spirit Qi Sufficient

Undamaged

Mature

Indeed, the Hun-Nourishing Grass that had disappeared for thousands of years was actually cultivated by the two of them.

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Fourth Senior Brother, you've worked hard these past few years!"

Gu Qiao rubbed his brow: "I can only say, this thing truly deserves to have disappeared for thousands of years."

Without the rich Spiritual Energy of Qingmu Peak, plus your Four Seasons Classic and Jiahe Record,

let alone maturing, whether it could even sprout is debatable.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "With this, Mu Yunsheng's Commitment should be fulfilled."

He suppressed the urge to harvest it, instead choosing to transplant it.

Taking the Spiritual Energy, some Spirit Soil, and the entire Hun-Nourishing Grass,

he bound it using a method similar to a Seal.

Thus ensuring nothing would happen to it in a short time.

Once everything was ready, Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands toward his Fourth Senior Brother: "No need for extra words, Junior Brother won't say them."

If there's a place you need me in the future, Senior Brother, just give me a Greeting."

Gu Qiao waved his hand: "We're all from the same sect; saying this is being distant."

Though these years cultivating the Hun-Nourishing Grass were indeed tense and exhausting,

once truly matured, the sense of achievement is still great.

As a Spirit Farmer, besides farming, isn't that the only pursuit?

Xu Zhangqing no longer delayed, immediately rose into the air, and then flew toward Ling Beast Valley.

At this time, Mu Yunsheng was not on Lake Heart Island, but was inspecting the Spirit Beasts in the valley.

These past few years, thanks to the mutual assistance between Ling Beast Valley and Spirit Field,

the Spirit Beasts' food was not only sufficient but also varied in type.

"Valley Master, it gave birth... it gave birth!"

"It gave birth, not me!"

"Ah right, this Earth Fire Xuanxi finally gave birth, a pity it's only one!"

Outside the house, a group of people were Excitement.

Even on Mu Yunsheng's face, there was now a smile full of face.

No way, the Earth Fire Xuanxi is too rare, and is not a creature of the Tianyuan Realm.

This was discovered by Li Wudao when he previously went to Tai Xu Lie Yuan, and then brought back.

The entire Ling Beast Valley attached great importance to it, afraid that even a bit of Surprise would occur.

Mu Yunsheng sighed in his heart: "The only regret is that the male rhinoceros is not an Earth Fire Xuanxi, causing the offspring's bloodline to be impure."

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing flew over.

Seeing the Spirit Beast giving birth, he did not rashly approach.

But kept a distance, then patiently waited.

A moment later, Mu Yunsheng approached smiling: "Xu Sikong, long time no see!"

Xu Zhangqing didn't waste words, directly took out the Hun-Nourishing Grass: "It's already Mature."

Mu Yunsheng's smile froze, his eyes tightly staring at the purple Lingti before him, as time passed, his breathing became increasingly rapid: "Is it really... Hun-Nourishing Grass?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Really."

Mu Yunsheng still found it Unbelievable: "You really cultivated it?"

Xu Zhangqing showed a Helpless Expression, countering: "Does lying to you benefit me?"

Who knew Mu Yunsheng Immediately nodded: "It does!"

Xu Zhangqing let out an "ah", appearing very Surprise.

Mu Yunsheng said half-jokingly: "You could have tricked me out of the Skinning Technique!"

Xu Zhangqing not only did not get angry, but mocked: "If you were really tricked, it only shows your vision is poor, your cultivation is too low, and you are extremely incapable!"

Mu Yunsheng's Mouth Corner twitched several times upon hearing this, then smiled bitterly: "Stop scolding, stop scolding, I was just joking!"
