Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After finalizing the plan to undergo the tribulation at Qingdi Garden, Xu Zhangqing began calculating how to accelerate his cultivation.

Although Hongfeng Valley was peaceful, its spiritual energy concentration was not as high as Qingmu Peak, where his master and Eldest Senior Sister were located, and that place had a ley line supporting it, making it more suitable for the final push.

That evening, Xu Zhangqing found Ruo Qunshuang, leaning against her as he voiced his thoughts: "Frost Sister, I plan to move to Qingmu Peak for a while to focus on improving my cultivation. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ruo Qunshuang chuckled lightly: "Cultivation should seize the opportunity. I'll keep watch over Hongfeng Valley here, overseeing the disciples' cultivation, the management of the spirit fields, and the recent situation with the Qi Lake Sun Family. You can cultivate with peace of mind."

Xu Zhangqing felt warmth in his heart: "It's truly wonderful to have you!"

Ruo Qunshuang said with a smile: "I am your Dao Companion!"

The two looked at each other, and when emotions ran deep... words were unnecessary.

……

……

The next day, Xu Zhangqing simply tidied up and then headed straight for Qingmu Peak.

Just as he arrived, he happened to run into Fourth Senior Brother Gu Qiao, who asked curiously: "Senior Brother Changqing, why did you come over here so early in the morning?"

Xu Zhangqing did not hide it and answered immediately: "In the past, my focus was all on farming, so I neglected the improvement of my cultivation and realm. Now I'm preparing to rally and catch up, to close the gap between us as soon as possible."

Gu Qiao smiled, then patted his shoulder: "Go chase Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother. As for a salted fish like me, don't bother chasing; my realm isn't even as high as yours."

Though meant as teasing, it was sincere.

At present, among the six of them on Qingmu Peak, only Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang, Second Senior Brother Zhou Yan, and Third Senior Brother Qin Ye had high cultivation.

Among them, Eldest Senior Sister was the highest; even an Inferior Nascent Soul was still a Nascent Soul.

As for Second Senior Brother, by cultivating rare spirit plants to accumulate resources, his speed was equally fast, and he had already reached Golden Core Perfection.

As for Third Senior Brother, although he was somewhat lacking in cultivating spirit plants, his luck and opportunities were better, and he had also reached Golden Core Perfection.

As for himself, he was only at Golden Core Late Stage.

Mu Ning didn't know the specific realm, but thought they were probably about the same.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing went to see his master and briefly explained.

Regarding this, Mu Ji not only did not refuse, but actually agreed quite strongly.

Wood Spiritual Roots also need to cultivate hard; the longer it's delayed, the more trouble there will be.

Originally, Mu Ji had arranged a place for Xu Zhangqing to live.

But after thinking it over, he instead chose a spot near the entrance of the Life Pool.

It wasn't that he missed the Life Force within the pool, but rather that this place was right next to the ley line, making it more suitable for cultivation.

Not long after, news spread that Xu Zhangqing had moved to Qingmu Peak, arousing the curiosity of many people who came to take a look whenever they had nothing to do, especially several senior sisters and brothers.

Third Senior Brother Qin Ye joked: "The Spirit Plant King of Hongfeng Valley is willing to move?"

Xu Zhangqing immediately laughed and cried: "I'm getting old and don't want to wait anymore."

Later, Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother also came once, just taking a look and chatting.

Regarding Xu Zhangqing moving to Qingmu Peak, they highly approved of it, and even wished he would come earlier.

Although Hongfeng Valley was good, the spiritual energy there was not as rich as Qingmu Peak, a point that every Core Disciple understood.

Later, seeing that he was truly cultivating sincerely, they stopped disturbing him too much.

In the following days, the only one accompanying Xu Zhangqing was Fifth Senior Sister Mu Ning.

She rarely left Qingmu Peak, guarding the Life Pool every day.

It wasn't that she was guarding against Xu Zhangqing, but rather it was her duty.

The two occasionally exchanged information about spirit worms, and their relationship grew better and better.

Time passed like a white horse glimpsing a gap, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Xu Zhangqing was fifty-five years old.

For cultivators, reaching Golden Core Stage before thirty could be called a genius.

Afterwards, if one reached Golden Core Stage within a hundred years, it could barely be considered having some aptitude.

If one was still at Qi Refining Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage after a hundred years, they could only be considered "the majority."

Put bluntly, they were mediocre people with neither talent, nor luck, nor ability.

As for Xu Zhangqing, reaching Golden Core Perfection at fifty-five was already considered fast.

Only, he had taken a shortcut.

Logically speaking, the cultivation speed of Five Elements Spiritual Roots was much slower than Single Spirit Roots.

But he was different; he separated out his spiritual roots, leaving only the Wood Spiritual Root for cultivation.

Equivalent to having the body of Five Elements Spiritual Roots, but the cultivation speed of Single Spirit Roots.

Of course, this was mainly because the spiritual energy of Qingmu Peak was already rich, and Fifth Senior Sister Mu Ning occasionally opened a "small stove" for him.

Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes, emerald green light flowing in his pupils, his mana surging and majestic.

At this moment, he had reached the point where he could not improve further.

To advance further, he had to undergo the tribulation to impact Nascent Soul.

And during these five years, although Xu Zhangqing stayed at Qingmu Peak and rarely returned to Hongfeng Valley, he still learned about the situation below, especially the conditions of his several disciples.

Eldest Disciple Sun Shangxiang, with the aid of Food Spirit Worms, had already broken through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Second Disciple Lin Feng, initially having a wandering mind, but under Xu Zhangqing's strong demands, had now also reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

No choice—the two had agreed that only upon reaching the Golden Core Stage could they go out for experience training.

Third Disciple Qingyao remained the most worry-free one; relying on diligence and her talent for lingti, she smoothly broke through to Foundation Establishment Early Stage, not even needing a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Moreover, her attainments in lingti were already enough to stand on her own.

Were it not for issues of cultivation level, age, and identity, she could be promoted to Spirit-Nurturing Envoy.

Besides the three disciples, his daughter and son were also quite good.

Linglong had started relatively late, only beginning cultivation at nearly thirty years old, but relying on her decent talent, she had now reached Foundation Establishment Stage.

An'an had only just come into contact with cultivation not long ago, but her comprehension was excellent, and she quickly entered Qi Refining Stage.

As for whether to advance to Five Elements Perfection, both Yin-Yang Venerable Li Wudao and the Sect High Level were extremely urgent about it.

But Xu Zhangqing believed it ultimately depended on An'an's own wishes.

As for the Thunder Spirit Root avatar Fenglong, his development in Longhu Immortal Sect had been quite smooth.

Over these five years, relying on his mutant thunder spirit root and extraordinary comprehension, he had gained great favor from Nascent Soul True Lord Li Xuan Yang; not only had his cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Stage, but he was also gradually emerging within the sect, with his identity and status growing increasingly stable.

The avatars Nü Tu, Zhu Rong, Gonggong, and Tai Bai, as well as the puppets Xu Zixiao and Xu Qiansui, had changed little over these five years.

To them, five years was but a snap of the fingers; only when the main body broke through to a higher realm could they grow accordingly.

Xu Zhangqing counted on his fingers: only one year remained until the Qinghua Flowing Radiance Moment.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul was not something cultivation alone could achieve; thorough preparation was also needed.

Therefore he stood up, preparing to go out.

Mu Ning, seeing this from the side, hurriedly asked, "Sixth Junior Brother, are you leaving?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Yes."

Mu Ning pouted: "Once you leave, there'll be no one to chat with me anymore."

Over these past five years, she had grown accustomed to him chatting and playing with her.

Suddenly having him leave was truly hard to adjust to, and she was even a bit reluctant to part with him.

Xu Zhangqing blinked, saying meaningfully, "Parting is only temporary; we will accompany each other for a long time in the future!"
