Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing gently patted Ruo Qunshuang's back, waiting until her tense shoulders gradually relaxed, then spoke softly: "I'm still here, aren't I?"

Soon, Ruo Qunshuang calmed down, then went off to attend to other matters.

She was the Rain Master of the Water Pavilion, needing to arrange the Rain Spreading Table, and was busy every day.

Xu Zhangqing was not idle either; he immediately took out the Si Geng Token, infused his own magic power into it, and then called out: "Master~"

However, the token flashed three times, then fell into silence, with no response at all.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "I suppose Master has already left the Immortal Sect and gone to Yaoguang Nine Domains."

He withdrew his thoughts, infused magic power again, and changed the object of his call: "Great Elder."

This time, as soon as the token lit up, a familiar voice came from within: "What do you summon me for?"

Xu Zhangqing's expression turned serious: "Great Elder, Disciple has something to report..."

Immediately, he recounted in detail the sudden tremor of Hongfeng Valley, the leakage of Mysterious Yellow Qi from underground, and his observations of roots wrapping around a huge sphere.

Finally, he added: "Based on the location, that sphere should be consistent with the Red Maple Ancient Tree."

"Disciple cannot see through its interior, so I specially request instructions."

After listening, the other end of the token fell silent for a moment; Xuan Yan did not directly answer his question, but instead threw out a seemingly unrelated question: "Xu Zhangqing, do you know why all seven great immortal peaks of the Immortal Sect float in the sky instead of taking root on the ground?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned, then answered truthfully: "Disciple does not understand the intricacies within, but the Immortal Sect's layout must have deep considerations."

He managed the Spirit Fields and focused on Lingti matters, never understanding the sect's layout.

Moreover, the position of Si Geng was not considered high level, at most approaching middle level.

To put it plainly, he was not yet qualified to know the secrets of the Immortal Sect.

"You are quite perceptive."

Xuan Yan's voice carried a hint of satisfaction, then he shifted the topic: "The matter of the Red Maple Ancient Tree you discovered need not be overly concerned about."

"That ancient tree has existed since the founding of the Immortal Sect; it guards and nurtures something, and as long as it is not actively disturbed, there will be no problem."

Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred, about to ask "what is being nurtured," when he heard Xuan Yan continue: "Changqing, your current cultivation and state of mind still need tempering."

"When your strength is sufficient in the future, you will naturally know the reason."

"Also, hand over the Spirit Field matters to others as soon as possible, and enter Qingmu Peak at your earliest convenience."

As the words fell, the radiance on the token suddenly dimmed, the magic power fluctuations dissipated along with it, and the contact was actively severed by the Great Elder's side.

Xu Zhangqing held the token and stood for a long time, his brow slightly furrowed.

The Great Elder's words clearly had hidden meaning; they both comforted him and concealed key information, and that phrase "enter Qingmu Peak" was even more thought-provoking.

Qingmu Peak was one of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks of the Immortal Sect; only Core Disciples, Golden Core Elders, and others who had contributed to the sect were qualified to reside there.

The Spiritual Energy concentration inside was richer, five times that of ordinary Spirit Fields, and three times that of Hongfeng Valley.

Moreover, if not for tending to the Spirit Fields and Hongfeng Valley, he would have already taken up residence there.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing walked straight to the Cultivation Chamber.

Pushing open the door, he activated the Spiritual Arrays and Restrictions one by one.

After sitting cross-legged, he went over the Great Elder's words in his mind several times, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was hidden meaning in the other party's words.

The thing nurtured by the Red Maple Ancient Tree and the secret of the floating Seven Great Immortal Peaks seemed to be connected by countless threads.

After a while, Xu Zhangqing no longer dwelled on it; with a thought, he entered his Personal Space.

The Spiritual Energy concentration within the space was now not weaker than that of the Seven Great Immortal Peaks.

Wherever the gaze reached, everywhere was lush and verdant, all consisting of cultivated and nurtured Lingti.

Some were harvested once per quarter, some once per year, and others were left unattended until needed, then harvested.

Moreover, everywhere were rare and uncommon Lingti.

Most of the Spirit Rice here was supplied to the Xiuxian Zhe of Tai Xu Lie Yuan.

Xu Zhangqing spoke loudly: "Qiansui, go notify Nü Tu and have her come over."

Xu Qiansui, Xu Zhangqing's second Spirit Plant Puppet.

Aside from having no specific facial features, it was actually not much different from a Human Race.

It received the order and immediately transformed into a streak of Golden Light, leaping into the Teleportation Array.

Not long after, it returned together with the Earth Spirit Root Avatar.

Nü Tu greeted: "Main Body."

Xu Zhangqing handed over the yellow-bean-sized Mysterious Yellow Qi cluster: "Take this."

Nü Tu recognized it at a glance, surprised: "Mysterious Yellow Qi?"

You must know, only dense Earth Qi can form Yellow Qi.

Only after Yellow Qi is nurtured for a thousand or ten thousand years will Mysterious Yellow Qi be born.

Further on, after Mysterious Yellow Qi is nurtured to the extreme, it will transform into Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi.

One strand of Yellow Qi weighs ten thousand jin.

One strand of Mysterious Yellow Qi weighs one hundred thousand jin.

One strand of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi weighs one million jin.

These are all core materials for refining magic tools and magic treasures, and for setting up top-grade spiritual arrays.

Xu Zhangqing nodded and explained: "Today there was a disturbance underground in Hongfeng Valley, so I investigated and discovered a wisp of intruding Mysterious Yellow Qi."

The female earth took the sphere of Qi, sensed the Earth Attribute Origin within it, and smiled: "Thank you, Lord."

Then Xu Zhangqing told her everything that had just happened: "Besides..."

He told her one by one how the maple tree's roots wrapped around the sphere, how the Mysterious Yellow Qi might have been attracted by the Red Maple Ancient Tree, and his conversation with the Great Elder.

After listening, the female earth said with a solemn expression: "Lord, the thing underground is absolutely no ordinary thing."

The Red Maple Ancient Tree is already ancient; if it can guard with its roots layer upon layer, and can attract Mysterious Yellow Qi, then what it nurtures must surely be beyond imagination.

The Great Elder's words should be heeded, but you must be cautious and must not rashly investigate."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "I think so too."

The female earth added: "This wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi is extremely Jing Shui; I can use it to make a Town Earth Spirit Control Liang Zhen, and an Array Plate to carry on my person."

This way it can both resist attacks and give you an extra layer of protection."

Xu Zhangqing smiled happily: "Very good."

The two chatted for a while, then the female earth turned and left.

Xu Zhangqing exited his Personal Space and returned to the cultivation room.

But just as he pushed open the door, he perceived two familiar auras approaching.

Not long after, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue arrived at Hongfeng Valley.

As soon as Hu Bugui landed, he shouted: "Lao Xu, have you heard?"

"On the side of the Spirit Water Pavilion, countless coffins have floated up, even Xuan Wu Du has awakened!"

Zhao Ziyue was comparatively steady, his gaze sweeping around: "I heard Hongfeng Valley also had a tremor, but it seems nothing happened?"

Xu Zhangqing gestured for the two to sit down, then answered: "Indeed, both Hongfeng Valley and the Spirit Water Pavilion trembled."

Hu Bugui was stunned: "Nothing happened?"

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Nothing, the tremor in Hongfeng Valley has already been resolved."

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue both breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... what about the Spirit Water Pavilion matter?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Not bad, the Spirit Water Pavilion also trembled, and even more severely."

Hearing the definite answer, Hu Bugui took a deep breath: "Lao Xu, the reason I came to find you so urgently is because of the coffins at the Spirit Water Pavilion."

Xu Zhangqing asked in confusion: "What does that have to do with coffins?"

Hu Bugui said seriously: "Don't you remember when we first met Lao Zhao, I mentioned to you a similar situation, didn't I!"
