Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

"Aiyo!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Su revealed an extremely disdainful expression, fanning her nose with one hand while turning to leave, not wanting to stay for even a moment.

Hu Bugui stood frozen in place.

Xu Changqing, standing at the side, said irritably, "You really are a piece of work."

"What's wrong? I really do sell manure!" Hu Bugui was very unconvinced.

"Why did she leave?" Xu Changqing said with a tone of hating iron for not becoming steel: "Isn't it just because she despises you?"

"Then what should I do?" Hu Bugui appeared slightly bewildered.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but say: "Why not just directly say you have business dealings with the Spirit Field?"

Although it's still selling manure.

But at least it sounds high-class.

Anyone who doesn't understand would easily be bluffed.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bugui looked thoughtful: "What you say makes sense!"

Xu Changqing couldn't be bothered to deal with this guy, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

Suddenly, he saw another familiar face.

Short stature.

Walking on tiptoes.

Almost submerged in the crowd.

Xu Changqing walked forward and immediately fished the other person out from the crowd.

"Ya, Xu Dao Friend!" Bai Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Changqing asked in astonishment: "You're so young, what are you doing joining the fun here?"

Bai Ling'er said helplessly: "I came with Senior Sister and Shijie, but got separated from the two of them while walking."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Then don't go in and join the fun, lest Senior Sister can't find you and you end up getting lost yourself."

Bai Ling'er rolled her eyes, letting out an angry "Hmph."

However, she indeed didn't dare enter the crowd again.

These people don't look down when walking, every single one with their noses in the air.

Completely unaware there are people below, my feet have been stepped on several times.

"Where's Hu Bugui?" Xu Changqing's gaze swept around, discovering this guy had disappeared.

Bai Ling'er tilted her head, asking with a face full of curiosity: "Xu Dao Friend, are you also here to find a Dao Companion?"

Xu Changqing shook his head: "No, I'm accompanying a friend."

Bai Ling'er put on an act of understanding: "Aiya... no need to deny it, finding a Dao Companion is very normal."

Regarding this, Xu Changqing pursed his lips, too lazy to explain.

Even if I were to look, I would be extremely cautious.

First, absolutely cannot let the secrets on my body leak out.

Second, the person I cooperate with must be especially familiar.

Bai Ling'er reached out and poked: "That, did you bring anything to eat?"

Xu Changqing, hearing this, took out two washed sweet potatoes from his Small Storage Bag.

Handed one to the other party.

Kept one for himself.

Then, the two stayed at the side, gnawing on sweet potatoes while waiting for people.

"Bringing a kid to find a Dao Companion?"

"Is this finding a Dao Companion or finding a stepmother!"

"Understand a bit, it's not easy for them either!"

Passersby constantly misunderstood the two of them.

At this moment, Xu Changqing finally understood what is called 'anger reaching its peak and turning into laughter'.

When powerless to refute or argue, a person really will laugh.

Bai Ling'er comforted: "It's fine, it's fine, I'm used to it long ago."

Fortunately not long after, Hu Bugui appeared.

But it wasn't just him, there was another person beside him.

Who?

The Foundation Establishment Stage fishing old man, Zhao Ziyue, whom he had met once before.

"Ai!"

Hu Bugui sighed, asking in puzzlement: "Senior Brother Zhao, why can't the two of us find them?"

Zhao Ziyue fell into deep thought, only speaking muffledly after a long while: "If we can't find them then we can't, worst case we go back to fishing."

The two spoke as they arrived beside Xu Changqing.

Seeing Bai Ling'er, Hu Bugui immediately asked in surprise: "Lao Xu, whose kid is this?"

Xu Zhangqing introduced: "You forgot, this is Bai Ling'er of the Water Control Pavilion, who brings rain to my spirit field."

Hu Bugui then realized: "Right, I remember now."

Zhao Ziyue, upon seeing Xu Zhangqing, instantly had his eyes brighten, and stepped forward to ask: "Did you bring bait?"

"What?" Xu Zhangqing subconsciously took a step back.

Zhao Ziyue said excitedly: "Go, let's go fishing, no, let's go try Black Dragon Pool, maybe we can catch a dragon fish!"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't bring any."

"Then forget it." Zhao Ziyue said with regret.

But his words stirred Xu Zhangqing's heart.

Coincidentally, there is a Demon Wood Water-Avoidance Boat that can enter the water.

If one catches a dragon fish, it can sell for at least 1000 middle-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, what is used now is not inferior spirit rice wine.

But high-grade yellow rice wine that has reached the "Skillful Hand" level.

Just as Xu Zhangqing was pondering, two female disciples came from the left side.

Bai Zhu'er's voice rang out: "Younger Sister, I finally found you."

Bai Ling'er hummed in her mouth, then complained: "You all don't care about me."

"It's you?"

Xu Zhangqing, who had recovered from shock, and the female disciple beside Bai Zhu'er almost spoke at the same time.

It turned out that the other party was Zhang Xue of the Criminal Punishment Department whom they had just met yesterday.

Unexpectedly, they could meet again here.

Zhang Xue said with a smiling face: "Xu Dao Friend, what a coincidence!"

"I didn't expect the circle to be so small." Xu Zhangqing was also very surprised.

Zhao Ziyue asked: "Zhang Xue, aren't you investigating the disappearance of Zhang Er of the clan?"

Zhang Xue shrugged: "These two things don't conflict."

Xu Zhangqing instantly became alert: "Zhang Xue and Zhang Er are of the same clan?"

Although both surnamed Zhang, he hadn't thought of this aspect at first.

After all, one was at the spirit field.

One was at the Water Control Pavilion.

Fortunately Zhao Ziyue reminded him; this woman must be kept at a distance in the future.

Bai Zhu'er naturally recognized Xu Zhangqing, so she pondered: "Xu Dao Friend, you must be here looking for a Dao Companion, why not come with me?"

"Ah?" Xu Zhangqing was stunned.

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue even more stared wide-eyed.

Showing unbelievable expressions.

Regardless of looks or temperament, they should be better.

Why instead choose the "ordinary" Xu Zhangqing.

Bai Zhu'er said half-jokingly: "Coincidentally wood generates fire; with your help, not only can I mutually generate a second spiritual root, but I'll even have endless spirit rice to eat!"

Bai Ling'er echoed: "Right right right, follow my elder sister and you won't have to worry about Foundation Establishment Pills."

Of course, the most critical thing is.

From now on, eat whatever you want.

Going to the other's spirit field is like going home; eating costs no money at all.

Xu Zhangqing slightly embarrassed waved his hand: "Forget it."

Becoming the other's Dao Companion, helping others mutually generate a second spiritual root, and even handing over spirit rice.

What one can get is merely pills.

No matter how you think about it, it's a loss.

What's more, he is more inclined to find a water spiritual root Dao Companion.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Countless cracks spread in all directions like spiderwebs.

"What's happening?!"

Everyone was startled, but reacted quickly.

They all rose into the air.

Xu Zhangqing summoned a flying paper crane, bringing Bai Ling'er and Hu Bugui up.

Zhao Ziyue released a bubble, and his whole person floated up.

Zhang Xue and Bai Zhu'er stood on the back of another flying paper crane.

After stabilizing, everyone looked toward the source of the shaking.

It was actually the Qiu Family's huge pleasure boat.

The flags above made "whoosh whoosh" sounds, wildly fluttering.

The next second, accompanied by a "click" crisp sound.

A figure smashed through the ship deck, his whole person rising into the air.

Hu Bugui exclaimed: "Isn't that the Qiu Family's little genius Qiu Feng?!"

Zhang Xue furrowed her brow: "Isn't this person trying to break through to Golden Core? What is he doing here?"

At this moment, Qiu Feng stood in the air, his black long hair twisting in the wind.

His gaze was extremely complex, as if containing all emotions in the world.

But if one carefully observed, one would discover endless indifference in the depths of his gaze.

Suddenly, Qiu Feng spoke, his voice quite cold and stern:

"The world divides into nine ranks, contains eight sufferings, gives rise to seven emotions, stirs six desires, originates from five colors, is born of four seasons, establishes the three powers, rises from the two primal forces—all from a single thought!"

"Today, Qiu Feng shall use the licentious winds born of your seven emotions and six desires!"

"To aid me in forming my Golden Core!!!"
