Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xue couldn't help but say, "Shall we try?!"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned upon hearing this, and was very surprised.

Because of Zhang Xue's relationship with Zhang Er, he had intentionally kept his distance.

He originally thought that the other party's multiple contacts and exchanges were actually probing.

But he never expected that it was actually... taking a liking to him.

"Am I not good enough?" Seeing that the other party had no reaction at all, Zhang Xue's heart tightened instantly.

Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment and said, "Dao Friend Zhang, the Dao Companion you understand and the Dao Companion I am looking for might not be the same thing."

Zhang Xue showed a doubtful expression: "What kind of Dao Companion are you looking for?"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "What I am looking for is a Hired Cultivation Partner who can help me perform Dual Cultivation to produce a new Spiritual Root, not a companion to spend a lifetime with, or even marry and have children."

Zhang Xue was stunned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Her gaze, expression, and emotions all became complex.

Especially her mind, which was especially chaotic at this moment.

In her understanding, the vast majority of Spirit Farmers who sought Water Spirit Roots were almost always in companion relationships.

One person farmed.

One person summoned rain.

Men and women working together made the work not tiring.

But unexpectedly, what Xu Zhangqing was looking for was actually a Hired Cultivation Partner.

The kind who performs Dual Cultivation for money.

It was truly unexpected.

Xu Zhangqing said in a deep voice: "Dao Friend Zhang, think about it carefully."

Zhang Xue took a deep breath, then nodded: "Alright, I'll go back and consider it."

She then summoned the Black Flying Shuttle and quickly departed.

Xu Zhangqing watched the direction in which the other party disappeared, his gaze quite complex.

He indeed hadn't expected that Zhang Xue could actually take a liking to him.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Flower Sea incident last time.

Facing a female Disciple with a slender figure, pure appearance, and Water Spirit Root.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Xu Zhangqing was not someone who became pure-hearted and free of desire once he started cultivating.

But the problem was that he had quite a few secrets on his person.

One, harvesting Lingti five times a year.

Two, the Mutant Spirit Rice under Stone Mountain.

Three, especially the secrets regarding Longevity.

Whichever one it was, none could be easily leaked.

Therefore, finding a Hired Cultivation Partner was the most suitable choice.

The other party wouldn't live here all the time, but would come at fixed times and fixed points.

Plus, since the two were in an employment relationship, there wouldn't be too many feelings involved.

"However, Zhang Xue's arrival has given me a wake-up call." Xu Zhangqing quickly took out a Communication Talisman from his Small Storage Bag and injected Wood Spirit Power into it.

"Hello? Hic!"

"Dao Friend Han, I am Xu Zhangqing!"

"Oh my, Dao Friend Xu, long time no see!"

"I want to inquire, is there a Spiritual Array that hides smells?"

"Of course there is, such as 【Concealment Array】, 【Obstacle Avoidance Array】, 【Mist Trail Array】, and so on."

"Then... is there one that's more convenient, that can be installed and used at any time?"

"You mean a portable Convenient Array?"

"Yes yes yes!"

"Of course there is, but the price is quite expensive."

"How expensive?"

"Looking out for one of our own, at least 50 Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

"Uh... then you come over!"

After Xu Zhangqing and Han Xin agreed on the time for the transaction, he put away the Communication Talisman.

Unexpectedly, just after obtaining 100 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Before they could even warm up, half was gone.

However, if he could mask the smell of the Mutant Spirit Rice under Stone Mountain, considering the long term, it wasn't a loss.

After all, the price of Mutant Lingti was quite high now.

Next, Xu Zhangqing cooked while waiting for Han Xin to arrive.

Almost an hour later, a small black dot swaying unsteadily appeared near the horizon.

Xu Zhangqing had just finished his meal and was sitting under the Yang Shu tree to cool off; seeing this scene, he knew Han Xin had arrived.

After all, only she would dare to run around recklessly while drunk.

Boom!

As the ground trembled, the Flying Shuttle struck the earth.

Dust flew everywhere for a moment.

"Where... where is everyone?" Han Xin walked down unsteadily.

Xu Zhangqing said unhappily, "Can't you be a bit more careful? You almost ruined my Spirit Field."

Han Xin gave a silly laugh: "Don't worry, I don't want to offend you, hic~"

Xu Zhangqing came before her, smelled a strong scent of wine, couldn't help but frown, and immediately handed over 50 Middle-grade Spirit Stones: "The spirit stones are all here."

Han Xin reached out and grabbed, but it was empty.

She grabbed again, still empty.

From her perspective, the spirit stones had already been divided into three portions.

Xu Zhangqing was speechless, directly stuffed the spirit stones into her Huai Li, and then said: "Can't you drink a little less?"

Han Xin held the spirit stones with one hand and complained with the other: "I also want to drink less, but who let you, kid, brew such good wine?"

Not only is it delicious.

Moreover, it can also increase cultivation speed.

It even helps quite a bit with comprehending cultivation methods.

Therefore, she basically gets dead drunk every day.

Yet her strength not only did not fall behind, but has been growing all along, with effects comparable to Second-grade Spirit Rice.

This made her addicted, and she simply cannot stop.

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing curled his lips: "Blame me?"

Han Xin waved her hand carelessly: "Oh... I'm not blaming you."

Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered with nonsense and urged: "Alright, give me the Convenient Array."

Han Xin began rummaging through her Storage Bag, feeling around several times before finding it.

After opening it, she moved her mind.

The next second, something like a Jade Plate appeared in her hand.

Xu Zhangqing barely recognized some of the contents on it.

It seemed to be something about directions.

Very similar to the Compass the other party had held before, but much more crude.

Han Xin tossed it casually, then introduced: "This Portable Array is called 【Concealment Array】, with a range of about ten zhang."

Xu Zhangqing took it over and felt it was a bit heavy.

The Jade Plate was roughly the size of two adults' palms, and holding it in hand was like a small Shield.

At this moment, Han Xin's eyes rolled, revealing a cunning look: "The Spirit Rice Wine I got from you last time is finished, sell me some more, okay?"

Xu Zhangqing originally intended to take out the remaining Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

But after a second thought, he should find someone to test the higher-quality Yellow Rice Wine.

Therefore he turned and entered the house, taking out one jin of Yellow Rice Wine from the Kitchen.

"So fragrant!" Han Xin's nostrils flared, smelling the pervasive wine aroma, and her eyes immediately glazed over.

Xu Zhangqing handed over one jin of Yellow Rice Wine: "This is my new brew, try it."

Before this, Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine had several negative effects.

In contrast, the current Yellow Rice Wine is completely different.

After reaching the "Miao Shou" level, there are no negative effects at all.

No matter how much one drinks, it will not cause the slightest harm to the body.

At most, one just gets dead drunk.

Han Xin blinked her eyes, snatched it from Xu Zhangqing's hand in one go, without caring about anything, and gulped it down toward her mouth.

Glug~

Glug glug glug~

The wine water was not spicy; on the contrary, it was quite sweet.

In terms of taste, it was even better than Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

A total of one jin of Yellow Rice Wine, she stubbornly drank it all in one breath, leaving only a little bit at the bottom.

Xu Zhangqing asked: "How do you feel?"

Han Xin gave a silly laugh while opening and closing her mouth: "Feel great..."

Before she finished speaking, suddenly her eyes closed, and she instantly lost consciousness!!!
