Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In a flash, a month had passed.

Sun Shangxiang cultivated wholeheartedly; the No-Life Insect Mother mark on the Food Spirit Worm had already been thoroughly erased, and controlling it became increasingly effortless.

Xu Zhangqing, meanwhile, was observing the newly cultivated "Thunder Pattern Flowers" beside the Spirit Field when he suddenly had a spiritual sense: "How has the Metal Spirit Root revived?"

In order to suppress his own cultivation realm, he had differentiated his spiritual roots out.

Metal corresponds to Tai Bai.

Earth corresponds to Nu Tu.

Fire corresponds to Zhu Rong.

Water corresponds to Gonggong.

Thunder corresponds to Fenglong.

The differentiated spiritual roots do not disappear, but rather exist in a state similar to a seal.

This way, no matter how others observe, they can only see the main body's current cultivation level.

But Xu Zhangqing never expected that the originally sealed Metal Spirit Root would actually revive at this moment.

There is only one possibility for this situation right now: Tai Bai is dead.

That side died, so this side can revive.

Xu Zhangqing's expression condensed slightly: "Tai Bai is gone?"

Seeing the situation was wrong, he immediately stood up and headed for the cultivation chamber.

On the way, he happened to run into the three disciples Sun Shangxiang, Lin Feng, and Qingyao.

They had just returned from the Flower Sea Market, holding many things in their hands.

There were clothes, and also newly acquired Spirit Tools.

The three hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed: "Master!"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at them and casually instructed: "Cultivate with peace of mind."

Then he hurried into the cultivation chamber, and proceeded to activate the formations and restrictions one by one.

After confirming there were no problems, he then flashed his figure and entered his Personal Space.

Just as he entered, he saw Nu Tu, Zhu Rong, and Xu Zixiao.

Gonggong and Tai Bai were missing.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly asked: "What exactly happened?"

Nu Tu stepped forward: "Ever since you left, we have been exploring inside Yaoguang Cave, and even groped our way to the depths..."

Xu Zhangqing guessed: "Did you encounter something more powerful than the Thunder Dragon?"

Nu Tu shook her head: "Not a thing, but the source of the Xuan River, the Xuan River Water Eye."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhangqing immediately raised an eyebrow: "I originally thought Yaoguang Cave was the Xuan River Water Eye; turns out it isn't.

Then, what exactly happened, to the point that even Tai Bai is gone?"

Nu Tu and Zhu Rong exchanged a glance: "At first, we thought it was just a water eye, but unexpectedly it was not only that; it is also an entrance."

Zhu Rong corrected: "No, accurately speaking, it is a Secret Realm Entrance."

Xu Zhangqing realized: "Tai Bai entered inside to investigate, and then something happened?"

Nu Tu nodded: "Correct."

Xu Zhangqing immediately pressed: "Do you know which Secret Realm it is?"

Who knew, both Nu Tu and Zhu Rong shook their heads: "Only Tai Bai went in; the few of us stayed outside guarding, therefore we are not clear on the details."

Xu Zhangqing frowned: "Looks like we have to wait until the Metal Spirit Root fully recovers before we can learn the specific situation from Tai Bai's mouth."

"Right now, do we still need to go back?"

"Forget it; since the exploration is already done, there's no need to go back!"

"Since that's the case, let's continue with our own matters."

Soon, Nu Tu and Zhu Rong left through the Teleportation Array.

Only Xu Zhangqing and the Spirit Plant Puppet Xu Zixiao remained inside the space.

Looking at him, Xu Zhangqing mused: "Your return is just in time; Xu Qiansui alone is truly short-handed."

Over this month, everyone of the Sun Family has already moved out of Dongqing City, and now they are living anew in a place called Qihu.

That side has numerous Immortal Sect disciples, especially Water Spirit Root disciples, and there are also quite a few Talisman Masters.

The problem is, now that a Metal Spirit Root Tai Bai is missing, many things have to be reconsidered.

……

……

In the following time, Xu Zhangqing stayed in the Immortal Sect the whole time.

The morning thin mist had not yet fully dispersed, and he was already standing beside the Spirit Field.

As a wisp of mana condensed at his fingertip, he lightly brushed it over the Thunder Pattern Flowers in the field.

Instantly, the silver-white thunder patterns on the petals flickered with faint light; after this period of nourishment, the thunder power inside became increasingly pure, and each flower was palm-sized.

Harvested "Thunder Pattern Flower" 1 plant, Lifespan +23 days!

Harvested "Thunder Pattern Flower" 100 plants, Lifespan +2300 days!

Harvesting 1000 stalks of "Thunder Pattern Flower," lifespan...

Adjacent to the Thunder Pattern Flowers was one mu of Spirit Dew Grass.

Crystal-clear spirit dew rolled on the grass leaves, shimmering with seven-colored halos under the sunlight; it was an excellent choice for refining pills and nourishing spirit insects.

Xu Zhangqing did not harvest them, but instead produced the Ning Shui Zhu, gathering all the spirit dew in this one-mu spirit field and pouring it entirely into the bead.

For a rare spirit plant like this, whether it was harvested or not meant little given his lifespan of over a hundred thousand years; it was better to leave it to gather spirit dew every day.

However, if speaking of the rarest spirit plant at present, it would still be the Nine Turn Spirit Rhinoceros Vine harvested by Sun Shangxiang from the Qingmang Mountain Range.

Of course, the main body was still in the Eldest Disciple's storage bag, while the fruit had been taken by Xu Zhangqing to plant and cultivate himself, and it was growing very well.

The vines were as thick as an arm, the leaves emerald green and dripping.

Even a small Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit had grown on the vine.

Overall, it certainly could not compare to the one Sun Shangxiang had previously discovered.

But as long as Xu Zhangqing cultivated it with care and occasionally gave it "special attention," it would surely be even better.

Besides these, Xu Zhangqing had also cultivated a batch of "Green Pattern Wood" saplings.

This was done at someone's request; they would be transplanted later, so for now he was just doing a favor, keeping them in the valley to grow sturdy before sending them out.

Of course, during this period he did not neglect his instruction of the disciples.

Especially Eldest Disciple Sun Shangxiang; although she had a special constitution and could not cultivate spirit plants, since she had switched to being a Spirit Insect Cultivator, she naturally needed proper teaching.

Now her rapport with the Food Spirit Worms was becoming increasingly tacit, and her cultivation was steadily improving, having reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

As for Lin Feng, his mind might have become too active, causing his cultivation to be somewhat lacking; although he was still improving, compared to the past it could only be considered average.

The most worry-free was "Senior Sister" Qingyao.

Without Xu Zhangqing needing to tell her, she ran to the spirit field every day herself.

And besides consulting her master's opinion, she would also ask others.

Such as Miao Huayu and Lin Xiaoman; she would contact anyone more excellent than herself.

As for her realm, she was currently at Qi Refining Middle Stage, a rather fast speed.

The trivial matters within the valley, the harvesting of spirit plants, and the instruction of disciples—one thing after another, Xu Zhangqing handled them all very well.

At this moment, a report came from outside Hongfeng Valley: "Immortal Elder Xu, Elder Zhao Chengdao sent me to deliver things!"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Lin Feng, and the latter understood at once, immediately going to the entrance to receive him.

Not long after, a male cultivator dressed in Longhu Immortal Sect attire arrived; he looked young, probably in his early thirties, and he respectfully handed over a Jade Talisman and a storage bag: "Immortal Elder Xu, these are things Elder Zhao entrusted me to deliver to you."

Xu Zhangqing took out one hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones and handed them over: "You've worked hard."

The male cultivator was instantly flattered: "This... this is all what this junior should do."

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "This trip back and forth is very tiring; just accept it."

Upon hearing this, the male cultivator's eyes held both shock and envy.

If I had a master like that, how wonderful that would be.

Xu Zhangqing activated the Jade Talisman, and the information stored within surged into his mind.

It turned out that, after Zhao Chengdao's efforts over this period, Fenglong had been taken notice of by a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Longhu Immortal Sect named Li Xuan Yang, and even accepted as a Direct Disciple!
