Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Life Pool of Qingmu Peak is located at the core, the place where Spiritual Energy is most concentrated, and it is also where Fifth Senior Sister Mu Ning has always been stationed.

Before long, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the Life Pool; from afar he saw a slender figure wearing a jade-green dress, hair tied in two buns, looking no older than fifteen or sixteen.

This person was his Fifth Senior Sister, Mu Ning.

Same as always — her growth speed is even slower than that of Xu Zhangqing's daughter, Xu Linglong.

At this moment, Mu Ning was teasing a few Spirit Insects that were translucent green all over.

Yet her eyes were full of boredom; the novelty had long since worn off.

Xu Zhangqing slowed his steps and called out softly: "Senior Sister~"

Mu Ning abruptly raised her head; the boredom in her eyes vanished, replaced by overflowing joy. She hurried to her feet: "Sixth Junior Brother, you've finally come!

There wasn't a single person to talk to; I was about to die of boredom."

Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying a touch of childish coquetry.

Even though Xu Zhangqing hadn't come in a long time, there wasn't the slightest hint of reproach.

Xu Zhangqing smiled and handed over the gifts in his hand: "I've been too busy lately, that's why I didn't have time to come over.

This is a bottle of Calming Grass Juice, a bottle of Condensing Qi Dew, and a jar of Spirit Honey from Qinglan Bee Brew."

Mu Ning's eyes lit up; she hurriedly took them, beaming from ear to ear: "Wonderful, they're all things I like."

Xu Zhangqing took the opportunity to sit down and asked: "How have you been lately, Senior Sister?"

Mu Ning shrugged helplessly: "How else could it be, same old thing.

Every day it's just watching this pool, feeding the Spirit Insects; besides that, there's nothing else to do."

As she spoke, boredom crept onto her face again, and she added: "Although I don't have to worry much about it, it's too dull; only Qingyao occasionally comes to keep me company."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "In that case, I'll have Qingyao come up every day to keep you company.

She's quite diligent and eager to learn; if Senior Sister has the time, please teach her more."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Mu Ning instead showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, scratched her head, and said a little bashfully: "Sixth Junior Brother, I'm not good at planting and cultivation; I'm more skilled at controlling Spirit Insects.

Having me raise Spirit Insects is fine, but when it comes to planting, I'm afraid I'm not even as good as Qingyao."

Xu Zhangqing laughed in spite of himself: "Since that's the case, I won't force Senior Sister."

After that, the two chatted idly for a few more sentences; Mu Ning's words gradually increased, and when the conversation reached its height, she suddenly paused, a blankness appearing in her eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Junior Brother, when are Master and Eldest Senior Sister coming back?

I haven't seen them in such a long time; I miss them so much!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred.

Master is indeed in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan, but Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang has long since returned to the Tianyuan Realm; it's just that she is suspected of betraying the Immortal Sect and is secretly plotting things — if this matter were told to Fifth Senior Sister, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Zhangqing chose to conceal it: "Master and Eldest Senior Sister are both in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan; matters there are complicated and need to be handled for a period of time; they probably won't return for a few years."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ning's face showed a touch of disappointment; she nodded: "Alright then, I'll wait a bit longer."

But no sooner had her words fallen than she frowned again, her tone somewhat uncertain: "But... I seem to have sensed Eldest Senior Sister's aura; it was very faint, flashing by in an instant."

"What?"

Xu Zhangqing abruptly stood up, a flash of shock crossing his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "You sensed Eldest Senior Sister's aura?"

Mu Ning was startled by his reaction and hurriedly nodded: "Yes!

I'm certain it was Eldest Senior Sister's aura; although it was very faint and only appeared for an instant, it was definitely her.

What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Xu Zhangqing's face remained impassive, but his heart was churning with shocking waves.

With her back to Qingmu Peak, Mu Ning appears to have Golden Core Stage cultivation, but in reality she is formidable.

Even so, it should be impossible for her to sense Eldest Senior Sister's aura.

After all, ever since she secretly returned to the Tianyuan Realm, she has been concealing her tracks; not to mention the vast distance between them, a Nascent Soul Cultivator's aura could not possibly reach Qingmu Peak.

Unless... Eldest Senior Sister's cultivation has made a tremendous breakthrough, far surpassing before!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhangqing's heart grew ever more solemn, yet he did not reveal it, merely waving his hand at Mu Ning: "It's nothing; maybe you miss Eldest Senior Sister too much and had an illusion.

It's not the agreed-upon time yet; how could she possibly return."

Mu Ning nodded slightly and didn't ask further, lowering her head again to tease the Spirit Insects.

Xu Zhangqing pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Senior Sister, I still have some matters to handle, so I won't stay to chat more.

When I'm done, I'll come back to keep you company then."

Hearing this, Mu Ning's face showed a touch of disappointment, but she also knew Sixth Junior Brother had been quite busy since becoming Acting Peak Master, so she sensibly said: "Okay."

Xu Zhangqing smiled in agreement; just as he was about to turn and take his leave, Mu Ning suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reminded him: "Sixth Junior Brother, don't forget to look after Master's Spirit Field!"

"Master's Spirit Field?"

Xu Zhangqing abruptly halted his steps: "Look at me, I actually forgot about this."

He had taken over Qingmu Peak for a period of time, and had been busy handling trivial affairs, managing the peak's daily operations, yet forgot that he was supposed to help Master watch over the Fourth-Grade Spirit Field.

That Spirit Field was personally opened up by Mu Ji; it is located behind the main hall, a rare Fourth-Grade Spirit Field, and its soil is entirely Five-Colored Earth.

Moreover, Mu Ji, as a Spirit Transformation Venerable, personally cultivated the Spirit Plants inside; naturally they are anything but ordinary.

It's just that Xu Zhangqing has been constantly busy and never found time to go check on it.

Mu Ning chuckled: "You really did forget!"

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Thanks to Senior Sister's reminder, otherwise this Junior Brother truly would have forgotten.

I'll go take a look right away, and help Master tend the Spirit Field while I'm at it.

Otherwise, if something happens to the Lingti, I'm afraid I'll get beaten later.

Mu Ning waved her hand: "Go on, go on!"

Xu Zhangqing cupped his hands: "Goodbye, Elder Sister."

……

……

Soon, Xu Zhangqing arrived at his master's planting area.

The Spirit Field Area was not small, covering several dozen mu, and the Lingti grew vigorously, lush and dense, each one radiating Spiritual Light.

Even with no one tending them, they remained full of life.

Inside were planted all kinds of Lingti, including Ru Yue Pines towering several zhang high.

The Tree Trunks were thick, the Branches lush, the leaves Light Blue Color, faintly glowing with Spiritual Energy, and they were the core material for cultivating Run Soul Pills.

They grew extremely slowly; a hundred-year-old Ru Yue Pine was already rare, but every Ru Yue Pine here was over a thousand years old.

There were low-growing Ninghun Grass, with fine leaves, overall green, blooming tiny white flowers at the tips, emitting an aura that calmed the spirit and condensed the soul, one of the Lingti essential for Xiuxian Zhe during Realm Breakthroughs.

They grew densely in the Spirit Field Inside, stretching beyond sight.

There were also Jade Dew Orchids, with plump, crystal-clear leaves, Light Blue Color petals, and a fresh fragrance; not only could they be used to refine Pills, they could also purify Spiritual Energy.

There were Flame Flowers, with large blooms, Red Color petals unfurling like flames, and faint flames flickering at the tips; they were the core material for refining Flame Pills and enhancing Fire Attribute cultivation, each blossom blooming gorgeously.

Besides these there were Ziyangzhi, Xin Heart Burning Grass, Earth Yuan Ginseng, Jin Gang Grass, Earth Vein Flower—each one a core material for refining Pill Grade Premium Pills!
