Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing rose and cupped his hands: "Senior Brother Lingbi, I take my leave.

If you have leisure in the future, you may bring Yueyao to Dongting for a gathering."

Li Lingbi stood up: "Certainly, Junior Brother, travel safely!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly, then his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of green light, and he departed directly from the Li Residence, flying toward the Cross-World Teleportation Array.

The Cross-World Teleportation Array was established by the Dongting Immortal Sect to facilitate disciples traveling between the Central Region and Dongyu; each activation consumes a large amount of spirit stones, yet saves many days of travel.

If an ordinary disciple uses it, they must hand over one hundred middle-grade spirit stones each time.

But Xu Zhangqing was different; he was not only the Spirit Field Steward but also the Acting Peak Master of Qingmu Peak.

Therefore, for daily travel he possessed this privilege and qualification to use the Cross-World Teleportation Array.

Not long after, the teleportation array glowed with spiritual light, and spatial fluctuations rapidly spread.

The next second, accompanied by spatial distortion, Xu Zhangqing's figure vanished.

……

……

As his vision gradually cleared, Xu Zhangqing returned to the Dongting Immortal Sect.

He soon came to the Third Grade Spirit Field to inspect the spirit plants.

Everything else was fine; the key was that the Three-Eyed Clan's Star Core Zichen Seed and Flowing Glow Star Heart Grass absolutely could not have the slightest problem.

Spiritual energy was abundant within the spirit field, and all kinds of spirit plants grew vigorously.

Third Disciple Qingyao held a spirit vase, carefully watering the spirit plants with spirit spring water, her expression quite focused and serious.

Seeing Xu Zhangqing arrive, she hurriedly set down the spirit vase, bowed, and saluted: "Master!

You're back!"

"Mm."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon the spirit field.

The Star Core Zichen Tree glowed with purple light and had already grown to three feet tall.

The Flowing Glow Star Heart Grass was surrounded by spiritual energy, and its growth likewise far exceeded expectations.

Qingyao hurriedly said: "Master, rest assured.

These two spirit plants, Disciple tends to them carefully every day.

Watering spirit spring water on schedule and tending to earth qi, never slackening."

Xu Zhangqing nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, this is a reward for you."

Previously on the Wan Ghost Auction Ship, he himself had bought many things, one of which was the Liang Yuan Huan Xing Defense Pei that could transform into a small rabbit.

This was the gift he had specially bought for Third Disciple.

Qingyao stared wide-eyed, her pupils shining: "Wow!"

She quickly took it, then used her divine sense to leave an imprint.

The next second, this jade pendant actually transformed into a cute white little rabbit.

It hopped about on the ground, lifelike, indistinguishable from a real one.

Xu Zhangqing extended his right hand and touched her head: "As long as you like it."

Qingyao smiled sweetly, appearing especially happy and satisfied: "Thank you, Master!"

Xu Zhangqing said no more, turned, and left the spirit field, heading toward the cultivation chamber.

The primary matter upon returning this time was to arrange for the female earth cultivator to investigate underground.

This matter was of great importance and could not be disturbed by outsiders.

Upon arriving at the cultivation chamber, he raised his hand and waved; the formations and restrictions around the secret chamber activated instantly, layers of spiritual light enveloping the cultivation chamber, isolating all auras and prying from the outside world.

After confirming safety, Xu Zhangqing's figure flickered and he entered his Personal Space.

Within the space, spiritual energy was rich, spirit fields and buildings arranged in a staggered manner.

The Longzhou Yin Dragon Ship, Xu Jiuyou, and Xu Qiansui were all present.

Xu Zhangqing directly summoned Xu Qiansui and ordered: "Go find the female earth cultivator."

Xu Qiansui bowed and saluted: "Yes, Master."

Soon, he used the small teleportation array within the space to quickly head to Cangyan Peak.

But this wait lasted one hour.

Yet after such a long time, neither Xu Qiansui nor the female earth cultivator appeared.

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly; the female earth cultivator was very reclusive and disliked going out.

Usually she stayed almost entirely at Cangyan Peak studying formations, rarely leaving.

Not appearing for so long today, presumably she had temporary matters and went out.

Indeed, when Xu Zhangqing used Shared Vision to check, he found Xu Qiansui waiting inside a cave abode within Cangyan Peak.

It seemed he would not see the female earth cultivator in a short time.

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Forget it, no waiting."

Since the female earth cultivator was not here, this matter could only be set aside.

He turned and left the Personal Space, returning once more to the cultivation chamber.

In the time that followed, he stabilized his cultivation on one hand while waiting for the woman on the other.

Before he knew it, a day had passed.

The time arrived at the second day, afternoon.

The restriction of the cultivation chamber suddenly emitted a slight fluctuation; Xu Changqing swept with his divine sense and discovered Ruo Qunshuang had arrived.

Ever since founding the Lingqu Sect, she had been over there managing the sect.

Unless she missed her daughter, she would rarely return to the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Now that she had appeared, and right outside the cultivation chamber at that, she likely had come to find him about something.

Immediately, Xu Changqing opened the formation and restriction and called outward: "Frost Sister, come in!"

Before long, a graceful figure slowly stepped into the cultivation chamber.

If it wasn't Ruo Qunshuang, then who could it be?

Although she was nearly fifty, her figure remained slender and graceful, her temperament ethereal and dust-free.

"Qing Ge."

Ruo Qunshuang walked up quickly: "I missed you so much!"

Xu Changqing smiled upon hearing this and directly pulled her into his embrace: "I missed you too~"

Instantly, the two leaned against each other.

For a while they were intimate and affectionate; when the passion deepened... it was already several hours later.

"How are things on the Lingqu Sect side?"

"Qing Ge, I've returned this time because there's a matter I need to discuss with you."

"What matter?"

Ruo Qunshuang spoke seriously: "It's like this. The Lingqu Sect recently recruited a batch of new disciples, among whom there is a female disciple with extremely high potential. Her spiritual root is the same as yours — Water Generates Wood.

Her cultivation speed far surpasses her peers, even surpassing some disciples who have been in the sect for many years."

Xu Changqing asked doubtfully: "Isn't that a good thing?"

Ruo Qunshuang's tone carried a hint of hesitation as she said helplessly: "It's just that her identity and background are both not simple, so I dare not make a decision rashly."

Xu Changqing's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise upon hearing this.

The Lingqu Sect had been established for many years and had always been a small-to-medium-sized cultivation sect.

Although it had considerable reputation within a small scope, it had no sense of presence in the entire Eastern Region.

The disciples it recruited on ordinary days, though some had decent talent, had never produced a top-grade disciple.

Especially Mutual Generation Dual Spirit Roots and Three Spirit Roots — never before had they appeared.

This kind of spiritual root achieves twice the result with half the effort in cultivation; it belongs to the top-tier aptitude among cultivators.

Xu Changqing asked in a deep voice: "What is her name?

What exactly is her background?"

Ruo Qunshuang said slowly: "She goes by the alias Qingci, but in truth she is the Zhaoyang Princess of the Great Yue Dynasty, Zhao Wanning."

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: "Princess of the Great Yue Dynasty?"

The Great Yue Dynasty was the only dynasty in the Eastern Region, yet right now it was in dire straits.

Internal strife within the royal family continued unabated, various forces held their own territories, and external enemies stared covetously.

Members of the royal family were displaced and homeless; he hadn't expected Zhao Wanning would enter the Lingqu Sect.

Water-Generated Wood Spiritual Root, the Zhaoyang Princess of the Great Yue Dynasty — such an identity and aptitude falling into a small-to-medium sect like the Lingqu Sect was indeed too delicate.

Ruo Qunshuang lifted her gaze: "Qing Ge, what do you think should be done?"

Xu Changqing thought carefully for a moment: "Right now the Eastern Region's situation is complex, and the Great Yue Dynasty is even more of a chaotic mess, with all forces coveting it.

Our Lingqu Sect is merely a small-to-medium sect; it cannot compare to the Dongting Immortal Sect with its deep foundations and vast power.

Rashly taking in a princess of the Great Yue Dynasty would inevitably draw fire onto ourselves.

Once targeted by the various forces, the loss might outweigh the gain."

Ruo Qunshuang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's exactly why I've been hesitant and undecided.

I know her potential is extremely high; discarding her would be too much of a pity, but I also worry that taking her in would bring trouble to the Lingqu Sect.

After thinking back and forth, it still falls to you to make the call!"
