Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Qingmu Peak, Third Grade Spirit Field.

As the Spirit Field Administrator and Acting Peak Master, Xu Zhangqing certainly could not cultivate ordinary spirit plants.

Nine-Revolutions Linglong Grass

Standing a foot tall, nine heart-shaped leaves spiral into a tower shape, each leaf a different color — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white — at the center blooms a semi-transparent linglong flower, its pistil nurturing a single drop of Nine-Revolutions Spirit Liquid.

Seven Rosy Clouds Lotus

A seven-petaled lotus, each petal corresponding to a streak of rosy light — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple — golden pistil, leaf edges traced with fine luminous patterns.

Heavenly Thunder Bamboo

Blue-green bamboo, its surface etched with fine golden patterns, emitting a faint thunder power; each node bears a single bamboo leaf, its tip shaped like lightning.

Just these few species, if cultivated in normal time, would need at least three hundred years to mature.

Not to mention, there are also rare spirit plants like the Mysterious Ice Flower, Spirit-Absorbing Grass, Rainbow Skirt Grass, Silver-Patterned Spirit Ginseng, and so on.

However, a flash of green light sparked at Xu Zhangqing's fingertip, and vast magical power poured forth; green spiritual light enveloped all the spirit fields like a tide.

These spirit plants actually began to grow continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the span of a few breaths, they shot up from the seedling stage section by section, quickly flourishing.

The Nine-Revolutions Linglong Grass's linglong flower quietly bloomed, the Seven Rosy Clouds Lotus's petals began to flow with seven-colored radiance, and the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo's golden patterns blazed dazzlingly bright.

Just then, a wisp of True Solar Fire coalesced from the void, and in an instant took human form.

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyes and saw it was Chao Jin; he hurriedly stopped his work and cupped his fists in salute: "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Chao Jin swept a glance over the Third Grade Spirit Field and praised: "Looking across the entire Immortal Sect, only the spirit plants here are different from the rest."

Xu Zhangqing smiled lightly: "Mainly because our Immortal Sect's foundation is profound."

At the same time, he grew vigilant in his heart.

The Xingqiong Hall discussion had not ended long ago, yet the other party came seeking him on his own initiative — there was definitely something afoot.

Chao Jin descended slowly, then cut straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush with you either; this visit is to discuss two matters."

Xu Zhangqing was not surprised in the slightest: "Please be seated, Sect Master."

The two sat facing each other; he curled a finger, and a pot of spirit tea appeared out of thin air.

The tea soup was jade-green, its fragrance curling; it was precisely the Green Mist Tea he had cultivated with his own hands.

Chao Jin lifted the teacup and took a shallow sip, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes: "Peak Master Xu's spirit plant cultivation art truly lives up to its reputation.

The spiritual energy purity of this Green Mist Tea surpasses even the stock in the Immortal Sect's Treasure Vault by a notch."

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "If the Sect Master likes it, take some when you leave."

After the pleasantries, Chao Jin put away his smile: "Peak Master Xu, Ping'an has condensed a Heaven-grade Golden Core; his future achievements are limitless.

But we both know the path of cultivation — talent alone cannot carry one far.

A sapling in a greenhouse will never grow into a towering tree."

Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred; he had already guessed several parts of Chao Jin's intent: "The Sect Master means... to let Ping'an go out for experience training?"

"Precisely."

Chao Jin nodded: "Though the Heaven-grade Golden Core's foundation is stable, it lacks real combat tempering.

The Eastern Region is relatively peaceful now, which is actually detrimental to growth.

I have deliberated repeatedly and plan to send Ping'an to the Central Region."

Xu Zhangqing's brows lifted slightly: "The Central Region?"

He knew the situation in the Central Region — it was the frontline where human cultivators and the Demon Realm clashed.

Countless cultivators had fallen there, yet some also rose rapidly through life-and-death grinding, breaking through bottlenecks.

Chao Jin spoke seriously: "There is a place called the 'Immortal Falling Abyss'.

It contains all manner of demons, which can let Ping'an feel immense pressure.

But rest assured, the Immortal Falling Abyss has an outpost established by the Sect; it will protect genius disciples so they will not fall into a desperate situation."

Though this was the first time Xu Zhangqing had heard of that place, he was not dissatisfied: "The Sect's arrangements — I certainly trust them."

Chao Jin gave a light nod: "I have already greeted the person in charge of the outpost; after Ping'an goes there, he will not be forced into dangerous missions and may choose his own training method.

Once he accumulates enough real combat experience on the battlefield and ascertains the limits of his own strength, he can then return to the Eastern Region; whether facing challenges from other sects' geniuses or unknown crises, he will have greater assurance."

Xu Zhangqing said in an even tone: "This matter ultimately depends on Ping'an's willingness.

If he is willing to go to the Central Region for experience training, I will not stop him.

If he is unwilling, I will not force him either."

He hoped his son could live a peaceful life, but he also understood that the identity of a Heaven-grade Golden Core destined him to be anything but ordinary. Rather than being secretly plotted against in the Eastern Region's greenhouse, it was steadier self-protection to go to the Central Region's battlefield and actively temper himself, raising his strength.

Just like Li Lingbi, Chu Qiu, Pei Mo, and the others back then.

Chao Jin was very satisfied upon hearing this: "Ping'an having such a clear-sighted father is truly a fortunate thing.

I believe, with Ping'an's mind, he will surely understand the importance of experience training."

Next, the two chatted idly for a few more sentences, the topic gradually turning toward the Lingqu Sect.

Chao Jin set down his teacup, his gaze deep: "Several years ago, the Immortal Sect implemented the Entering the World Plan, causing many disciples to be lost.

Presumably this matter touched you greatly, which is why you founded the Lingqu Sect — to leave a back road for your family and disciples, correct?"

Xu Zhangqing did not deny it: "Making one more preparation is always good."

"That is only right and proper."

Chao Jin deeply agreed: "The Tianyuan Realm is inherently fraught with danger; only with a sense of crisis can one walk farther."

"Our Dongting Immortal Sect has always valued talent; although the Lingqu Sect was founded by you, many of its disciples come from Dongting, so it can be considered a branch of the Immortal Sect."

He took out an ancient token; the front of the token was engraved with the two characters 'Nantian', the back bore the Dongting Immortal Sect's sect mark, and then he said: "To support the Lingqu Sect's development, this Nantian City First-class Stall qualification is hereby gifted to you."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes flashed a trace of surprise: "Nantian City?"

This city is the number one great city of the Eastern Domain, its population reaching a hundred thousand, within the city gather numerous cultivation clans, sect forces large and small, and loose cultivators, its prosperity far surpassing other cities.

More importantly, Nantian City is the Eastern Domain's commercial hub; rare spiritual treasures, ancient cultivation methods, and supreme magic tools that are ordinarily hard to see can all be found there.

Chao Jin introduced: "The most prosperous district of Nantian City is the Xianfang; the stalls inside the Xianfang are divided by grade into three levels: Jia, Yi, and Bing."

"Third-class Stalls face ordinary loose cultivators and minor forces; Second-class Stalls face mid-level cultivation clans and minor sects; while First-class Stalls can only be possessed by the Eastern Domain's top sects and cultivation aristocratic families with long-standing inheritance."

"Holding this token, the Lingqu Sect can possess a permanent First-class Stall inside the Xianfang; not only is the location excellent, it can also enjoy the Xianfang's tax reductions, and can also preferentially participate in the various auctions held by Nantian City."

Xu Zhangqing accepted the token, able to clearly perceive the Nantian City Management Office's spiritual power mark contained within; with this First-class Stall, the Lingqu Sect can have a stable resource acquisition channel.

Whether spiritual plants, ores, or magic tools, pills, all can be conveniently purchased, while at the same time the superior spiritual plants cultivated by the Lingqu Sect can be sold everywhere, accumulating wealth and strengthening the force.

It is very obvious, this is Chao Jin's method of winning himself over!
