Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Zhao Chengdao led Xu Zhangqing and Fenglong deep into the Longhu Immortal Sect; along the way, besides the Qinglong Hall and Baihu Hall, one could also see alchemy chambers and artifact refining pavilions built against the mountains, even a dueling platform.

On the field, many disciples were cultivating thunder-attribute spells; thunder light exploded and yang qi surged.

One could also see many disciples coming and going in haste, looking extremely busy.

Xu Zhangqing asked thoughtfully, "Dao-ge, are you all very busy?"

Zhao Chengdao nodded lightly: "Unlike the Dongting Immortal Sect, we are deeply entangled with the mortal world; all disciples must enter the world to cultivate."

Xu Zhangqing casually let out an "oh."

The Three Great Immortal Sects, besides the Dongting Immortal Sect and the Yao Yue Immortal Sect.

The Longhu Immortal Sect is deeply bound with the mortal world; it can be said you are in me, I am in you.

This is also one of the reasons why the Longhu Immortal Sect can dominate the Xiyu alone.

Zhao Chengdao changed the subject: "I heard the Immortal Sect has had other movements recently."

Xu Zhangqing revealed a curious expression: "Other movements?"

Zhao Chengdao swept a glance around; seeing no one nearby, he transmitted his voice: "Younger Brother, do you know the Yaoguang Nine Domains?"

Xu Zhangqing froze for a moment; he had just been to that place, how could he not know, yet he could not say it out loud, so he answered: "I've heard of it."

While leading the way, Zhao Chengdao continued: "I heard the Immortal Sect's high level intends to take over the Yaoguang Nine Domains, making it one of our territories."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "The distance is so far, can it work?"

Zhao Chengdao shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, and I have no qualification to contact such matters."

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly: "If the Longhu Immortal Sect truly has its sights on the Yaoguang Nine Domains, they must have discovered something; could it be that half-severed Thunder Dragon in the Yaoguang Cave?"

Regardless of which situation, I must notify my avatars and have them prepare.

Fortunately, after all, the Dongting Immortal Sect has also set its sights on the Yaoguang Nine Domains, and its layout began much earlier than the Longhu Immortal Sect's.

Even if the people here want to take over, they will encounter no small obstacles.

As they spoke, the three arrived at Zhao Chengdao's residence.

Compared to Xu Zhangqing's Hongfeng Valley, his place has some differences.

In a spot backed by mountains and facing water, a courtyard was built; inside the courtyard grew a few drought-resistant Xiyu spirit plants, exuding a touch of elegance.

Just as they entered, a woman dressed in plain clothes with a gentle temperament came out to greet them; it was precisely Zhao Chengdao's wife, Madam Liu.

Madam Liu's face was full of smiles: "Rare guest, ah; didn't Shuang Er younger sister come?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "This time I didn't bring her along."

Madam Liu said with slight regret: "Next time you come, the whole family must come."

Xu Zhangqing smiled and nodded: "Certainly."

At this moment, a youth walked out from the room; Zhao Chengdao hurriedly waved upon seeing him: "Nianhe, quickly come meet Uncle Xu!"

Zhao Nianhe is Zhao Chengdao's only son; his eyebrows and eyes bear seven parts resemblance to his father; his skin is fair, his eyes spirited; he immediately called out obediently: "Uncle Xu, hello!"

Xu Zhangqing sized him up while taking out a few middle-grade spirit stones from his storage item and handing them over, simultaneously sighing: "He's grown this big already."

Vaguely remembering, last time they met the other party was still a nursing infant.

He looked milky and soft; now he's becoming more and more handsome.

Zhao Chengdao grinned: "If it weren't for your Linglong being so much older, I'd have wanted to arrange a childhood betrothal."

Xu Zhangqing laughed helplessly: "Leaving aside that Linglong is nearly thirty years old, now she's cultivating beside Mo Zhenjun of the Rain Water Pavilion; she has no time for romance."

Zhao Chengdao asked further: "That Fu Dao Grandmaster?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Right, it's him."

Zhao Chengdao said with a complex expression: "Linglong can cultivate, showing she has a spiritual root.

Our Nianhe hasn't been tested yet; we also don't know if he has one."

If he does, I can pave the way and make arrangements for him.

If not, he can only be an ordinary person."

Madam Liu had prepared tea and snacks; the group sat around in the courtyard chatting idly, speaking of the past years, the atmosphere exceptionally harmonious.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the family of three before him; warmth rose in his heart; the cultivation path is lonely and bitter; to have such attachments is truly rare.

During the idle chat, Xu Zhangqing looked at Zhao Chengdao: "Dao-ge, those Xiyu unique spirit plants, like Red Flame Grass, Thunder Pattern Flower and the like, can you give me some seeds?

The Dongting Immortal Sect's spirit fields are suitable for cultivating all kinds of spirit plants; I think they'll survive!"

"What difficulty is there!"

Zhao Chengdao waved his hand grandly, taking out his own storage item: "However much you want, just say; these spirit plants are common in the Xiyu, yet don't exist in the Eastern Region."

Soon, the table was filled with seeds of various spirit plants; each one plump and lustrous, exuding rich spiritual energy.

Xu Zhangqing accepted decisively: "Many thanks, Dao-ge."

They chatted a while longer; seeing the sun slanting west, Xu Zhangqing rose to take leave: "Dao-ge, Fenglong is in your care; please look after him well. I still have important matters, so I won't linger here."

Zhao Chengdao rose and swiftly made a promise: "Younger Brother, rest assured; I will personally introduce and arrange everything; I absolutely won't let you down."

Xu Zhangqing also instructed Fenglong a few words, telling him to cultivate wholeheartedly and not be impatient.

To put it bluntly: learn as much as you can, don't worry about exposure.

Then he bid farewell to Zhao Chengdao and the others, transforming into a streak of green light that shot into the sky, flying toward the Eastern Region.

In the blink of an eye, the smile on his face gradually faded.

In his mind, on one side was the information Zhao Chengdao had revealed.

The Longhu Immortal Sect had targeted the Yaoguang Nine Domains, and would inevitably confront the Dongting Immortal Sect.

On the other side was the situation of Eldest Disciple Sun Shangxiang.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu's layout was interlocking step by step; such an existence, he could not contend with now.

"The Longhu Immortal Sect wants to control the Yaoguang Nine Domains, the Dongting Immortal Sect certainly cannot sit idly by; once the two sides clash, the situation will become increasingly chaotic."

"Moreover, this will give the Wu Sheng Chong Mu an opening to exploit."

"The most urgent task right now is to pull Xiang'er back to the Immortal Sect; no matter how powerful the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is, it would not dare to rashly rush in!"

……

……

The Spirit Devouring Insect fanned its golden wings, gently pressing its antennae against the vine; a faint golden spiritual light seeped from the tips of its antennae, flowing over its whole body like running water.

The originally taut vine now slowly relaxed, the golden light on its leaves also converging by more than half, revealing the emerald green vine body within.

Li Muyao watched, clicking her tongue in amazement: "What a marvelous spirit insect!"

Sun Shangxiang utilized her own knowledge and techniques, acting decisively.

The main stem was gently severed, the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit at the tip falling intact into her hand; the fruit was warm and smooth to the touch, the liquid inside flowing ever more joyfully, releasing pure Wood Spirit Qi.

And the severed vine body did not wither; on the contrary, under the Spirit Devouring Insect's touch, it slowly retracted into the soil, leaving only a shallow pit, as if waiting for the next growth.

Sun Shangxiang let out a long breath: "Finally got it!"

A complex look flashed through Li Muyao's eyes: "Junior Sister, this Spirit Devouring Insect is a treasure-finding tool; borrowing its ability, we will certainly be able to find more Spiritual Treasures!"

To this, Sun Shangxiang deeply agreed: "Senior Brother is right."

Li Muyao's tone carried a hint of encouragement: "The Qingmang Mountain Range is so vast, who knows if it hides other Rare Spirit Plants.

Anyway, since we came out for experience training, finding more resources is always good; when you and I attack the Golden Core Stage in the future, we'll also have more confidence."

In fact, this time he actively proposed bringing Sun Shangxiang to the Qingmang Mountain Range for experience training, not only for the sake of finding spirit plants and cultivation.

In his previous life, he had opened up a hidden Cave Abode deep in the Qingmang Mountain Range, inside which were stored many resources needed for the Golden Core Stage!
