Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The arrival of Venerable Mu Ji and Immortal Maiden Qingyue was beyond everyone's expectations.

After all, Xu Zhangqing's two disciples were not outstanding; logically speaking, they would not attract attention.

You must know, those formidable geniuses can break through to Golden Core at thirty years old, and reach Nascent Soul before a hundred years of age.

Qingyao seemed to perceive Xu Zhangqing's nervousness; she quietly leaned toward his back, her gaze timidly fixed on that moon-white figure, yet she did not make a sound.

Mu Ji's gaze fell upon Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng, a gratified smile appearing on his face; he immediately opened his mouth and asked: "You two have just broken through to Golden Core; what are the divine abilities each of you has awakened?"

Sun Shangxiang stepped forward one step, respectfully replying: "Reporting to Martial Ancestor, this disciple's divine ability is Green Lightning Coiling Finger."

As soon as her words fell, her fingertip trembled slightly, and tiny green electric arcs burst forth from her fingertip.

These electric arcs were not purely destructive heavenly thunder, but rather One Mu Spring Thunder containing vitality.

Upon leaving her body, they actually transformed into strands of green light cords resembling both vines and lightning, agile and swift.

Mu Ji nodded slightly: "A Wood-Thunder attribute divine ability, hmm, still considered rare."

Seeing this, Lin Feng followed closely after: "This disciple's awakened divine ability is Wind-Speaking Wood Butterfly."

He raised his hand to guide, and many semi-transparent green wooden leaves composed of mana appeared out of thin air beside him, then transformed in the wind into one lively butterfly after another, their wings bearing leaf-vein patterns.

Mu Ji smiled slightly: "Not bad, not bad; both are divine abilities ranked within the top one hundred."

Speaking, he took out two items from his storage bag, casually handed them to the two before him, then continued: "This is a bit of this Martial Ancestor's personal wish."

However, the two did not receive them at the first moment; instead, they looked toward the rear.

Xu Zhangqing recovered from his shock, nodded, and said: "Since it is Martial Ancestor's kind intention, you two just accept them."

Having obtained permission, the two then reached out to receive them.

Sun Shangxiang received a palm-sized thunder-patterned wood armor plate.

This is the core armor plate of Thunder-Pattern Spirit Armor; it can enhance thunder-attribute defense and attack, and at critical moments can transform into a thunder-pattern spiritual shield, capable of both offense and defense.

Lin Feng received a green jade pendant.

This is the Wind-Wood One Heart Pendant; it can assist in harmonizing wood and wind mana, making divine ability operation smoother, and can also enhance perception of wood and wind two-system spiritual energy in heaven and earth, greatly benefiting cultivation.

Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng said in unison: "Many thanks, Martial Ancestor!"

Immortal Maiden Qingyue had not spoken a single word from beginning to end, until Mu Ji's rewards were distributed; only then did she look toward Xu Zhangqing, her clear cold voice resounding: "Xu Sikong, please take good care of Qingyao."

Her tone was flat, yet brooked no refusal.

Xu Zhangqing cupped his fists in reply: "Immortal Maiden, rest assured!"

Immortal Maiden Qingyue spoke no more; she exchanged a glance with Mu Ji, their figures stirred slightly, and in an instant they vanished.

Only then did Xu Zhangqing's taut nerves relax slightly; he said to everyone: "Go, we return to Hongfeng Valley."

The party of six immediately set off, and soon returned to Hongfeng Valley.

Logically speaking, Li Muyao should have taken her leave at this time; who knew Xu Zhangqing would take the initiative to speak: "Today Xiang'er and Feng'er broke through to Earth Grade Golden Core; this is a great happy event.

I have prepared some spirit dishes to celebrate; you might as well stay and join the lively gathering."

A trace of surprise flashed through Li Muyao's eyes; she immediately cupped her fists and replied: "Since Senior Xu Sikong invites, this junior will accept rather than decline."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Mm, you young people chat."

Afterward, he and Ruo Qunshuang walked together toward the kitchen, and the two soon busied themselves.

During this, Ruo Qunshuang contacted Xialong and An'an; the two learned the news and hurried over swiftly.

Before long, a table full of fragrant spirit dishes was ready.

Stir-fried Seven-Colored Ling Cai, ingredients: Seven-Colored Ling Cai cultivated in Hongfeng Valley.

Jade Dew Spirit Porridge, ingredients: Spirit Rice planted in Hongfeng Valley.

Clear-Steamed Jade Scale Spirit Fish, ingredients: Jade Scale Spirit Fish specialty of the Spirit Spring.

Honey-Glazed Spirit Peach Slices, ingredients: Pink Haze Spirit Peach unique to Spirit Beast Valley.

Hundred Herb Spirit Chicken Soup, ingredients: Pearl Chicken raised at home.

Five-Color Spirit Rice Meal, ingredients: Red Flame Spirit Rice, Green Grain Spirit Rice, White Frost Spirit Rice, Black Gold Spirit Rice, Yellow Fat Spirit Rice.

Each and every one, without exception, possessed complete color, aroma, and taste, containing special effects.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister Sun, Senior Brother Lin!"

"You two will be there soon too; sooner or later you'll surpass us!"

"Eat up; your Master making spirit dishes is no easy thing!"

Everyone talked and laughed; the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

On Sun Shangxiang and Lin Feng's faces were full the joyous smiles after breaking through.

Qingyao also rarely revealed a relaxed expression, tasting this, tasting that.

Li Muyao walked to Sun Shangxiang's side, hesitated a moment, then still couldn't help asking: "Junior Sister, the golden talisman you used for defense during your tribulation today was transcendent; I wonder what kind of talisman it is?"

Sun Shangxiang answered casually: "That was the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman my Master gave me."

Hearing this, Li Muyao's gaze subconsciously turned toward Xu Zhangqing, her heart somewhat conflicted.

This kind of spirit talisman is simply a tribulation "divine artifact."

If she could possess it, she could avoid many troublesome matters.

After all, setting up arrays is truly too troublesome, and consumes many resources.

She originally wanted to open her mouth to inquire, even wanted to request to buy one, yet worried about being presumptuous.

Just as Li Muyao hesitated, Xu Zhangqing actively handed over a golden light talisman.

Li Muyao froze for a moment: "Xu Sikong, this is...?"

Xu Zhangqing said in a calm tone: "You and Xiang'er have had a good relationship since childhood, so you also count as my half-disciple.

I wish your future cultivation goes smoothly, and your days get better and better."

Li Muyao looked at him with a shocked expression, froze for a moment before reacting, and immediately bowed solemnly with cupped hands: "Many thanks for Xu Sikong's generous gift, this kindness the junior will remember!"

Originally thought the person before her was on guard against her, didn't expect him to be so generous.

Her impression of Xu Zhangqing instantly changed for the better, and the distance between them also quietly drew closer by a few degrees.

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "You are all good children, the future is promising."

Ruo Qunshuang raised her wine cup at the right moment: "Come come come, everyone drink another cup!"

After another period of time, the celebration ended, and Li Muyao also left.

Not long after, Lin Feng suddenly found Xu Zhangqing, his expression somewhat nervous as he said: "Teacher, Disciple has a matter to request."

Xu Zhangqing looked at him with a half-smile: "What matter?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, Disciple previously planned to go out for experience training, but was stopped by you on the grounds of not having reached Golden Core.

Now Disciple has already broken through to Golden Core, and is even ranked Earth Grade.

Therefore I earnestly request Teacher to permit Disciple to go out for experience training, thereby broadening horizons and tempering cultivation."

He grew up in Hongfeng Valley since childhood, the farthest place he had been was still Dongqing City where his parents reside, and he was full of yearning and longing for the outside world.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the yearning and longing in Lin Feng's eyes, nodded and said: "Since it was already discussed previously, Teacher naturally won't stop you.

When going out for experience training remember to be careful and cautious, act within your capabilities in all matters.

If you encounter danger, don't force it, preserving yourself is paramount."

Lin Feng was instantly overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "Many thanks Teacher!"

Watching Second Disciple's departing back, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Everyone has their own cultivation path, I also cannot control other people's fate!"
