Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

As time passed, Bei Qingtang and the others departed one after another.

Only Mu Ji, Xu Zhangqing, and Qingyao remained in the hall.

Mu Ji, in the guise of a Daoist child, sat on the main seat; the Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme around him gradually converged, adding a few touches of an ordinary elder's gentleness.

Xu Zhangqing saw this and sensed the other party had something to say, so he stayed where he was without moving.

Sure enough, Mu Ji suddenly raised a hand, and immediately two cyan lotus flowers grew from thin air: "Changqing, sit and speak."

Xu Zhangqing pulled Qingyao down to sit, his tone carrying a hint of respect: "Does Master have something?"

Mu Ji observed while counter-questioning: "The Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme merged into your Spiritual Root — any discomfort?"

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Disciple not only has no discomfort whatsoever, but actually feels great!"

Mu Ji laughed: "You have a Water Wood Dual Spirit Root; presumably there would be no problem."

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Many thanks for Master's concern."

Qingyao sat to the side, her small hand clutching a wooden leaf jade pendant.

She obediently listened to the two's dialogue, her eyes full of curiosity.

It looked like the Patriarch seemed to care especially about the Master.

Mu Ji smiled, with a trace of understanding: "Qingyao has just entered cultivation; hereafter you will still need to expend much thought on her.

If there is anything you don't understand, you may ask me at any time."

"Disciple saves the trouble."

Xu Zhangqing agreed, then suddenly recalled a matter, his expression turning slightly grave: "Master, there is something Disciple forgot.

I thought of it today and felt I should report it to you."

Mu Ji was quite curious: "What matter?"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly said: "Previously, Disciple followed Eldest Senior Sister on a trip to the Luo River Bei Clan, but unexpectedly discovered the Bei Clan is cooperating with the Wu Sheng Chong Mu.

Although this is Eldest Senior Sister's family affair, I always feel it's not simple."

"Wu Sheng Chong Mu?"

The smile on Mu Ji's face instantly vanished, the Dao Rhyme around him trembling slightly: "You're certain?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Disciple dares not speak recklessly."

Mu Ji's fingertip lightly tapped the armrest, his gaze deep: "This matter is no small thing.

The natural enemy of the Wood Spirit Root has always been this kind of insect.

And the Wu Sheng Chong Mu in the Ancient Period was even known as the Immortal Shedding."

Xu Zhangqing and Qingyao both froze: "Immortal Shedding?"

Although Xu Zhangqing had long known, he still feigned the reaction.

One, it lets Master gain satisfaction.

Two, it also obtains more intelligence.

Mu Ji said in a deep voice: "In ancient times, this insect fed on spiritual plants, able to erode wood cultivators' Dao foundations; back then many Great Powers fell to it."

Xu Zhangqing thought: "By rights this matter has nothing to do with Disciple.

However, considering Eldest Senior Sister's safety, I felt I should report it to you."

Mu Ji nodded slightly: "You did right; although it's their private affair, it involves an existence like the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, so it cannot be underestimated.

Afterwards, I will investigate thoroughly and try to clarify the cause."

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Since Master is acting, it will certainly be resolved."

Mu Ji said helplessly: "Less flattery; you two go back.

Properly refine the treasures; if Qingyao encounters a cultivation bottleneck, she may seek me at any time."

Xu Zhangqing took Qingyao's hand, then the two bowed: "Disciple and disciple's disciple thank Master and Patriarch!"

Immediately after, they walked out of the hall.

Once out, Qingyao couldn't help but let out a breath, then tilted her head to ask: "Master, is the Wu Sheng Chong Mu very scary?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at her: "By Master's words, it is the Wood Spirit Root's nemesis."

Spiritual plants fear insects.

Spiritual farmers fear insect pests.

Wood Spirit Roots fear spiritual insects.

……

……

Time flowed on; five years passed in a flash.

In these five years, the new system represented by the Four Seasons Heavenly Craft Score completely replaced the old system.

Although many loyal adherents of the old system obstructed it, even causing quite a few incidents.

But seeing the spiritual plants' yield and quality greatly increased, things gradually quieted down.

And Xu Zhangqing's three disciples.

Eldest Disciple Sun Shangxiang and Second Disciple Lin Feng are nearly thirty years old, their appearances increasingly mature.

Third Disciple Qingyao, bit by bit, grew into adulthood, and learned quite a lot.

It was rather his daughter Linglong who, ever since following Mo Qiu Shui, had gradually begun to develop.

Although she was still just as petite, there was a difference compared to a few years ago.

As for An'an, she had merely grown from a child into a youth.

However, having reached this age, Li Wudao was preparing to take her away.

Xu Zhangqing nodded in satisfaction, then walked out of the cultivation room.

However, just as he came out, he ran head-on into a hurried Sun Shangxiang.

"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, Disciple has a matter to find you!"

"What matter?"

Sun Shangxiang's cheeks slightly red: "Master, Disciple wants to follow Senior Brother to go out for Experience Training!"

Xu Zhangqing hearing this looked at her with a half-smile: "Experience Training?

Experience Training what?

Help others plant fields?"

Sun Shangxiang's round face reddened, she hurriedly explained: "Disciple has stayed in the Spirit Field and Hongfeng Valley for a very, very long time.

Happening to encounter Senior Brother's invitation, therefore wants to go see the world Outside!"
