After class,
Xie Xie did not discuss anything with the other students or leave. Instead, he walked straight toward him and Tang Wulin.
He stopped before them, his gaze falling first on Xu Mengqing, and introduced himself. "Hello, Xie Xie."
"Xu Mengqing." He gave a faint nod.
Xie Xie then turned to Tang Wulin, and his tone immediately changed, carrying a hint of impatience. "Hey, it's time to make good on what you promised me. Let's go."
"Wulin, what did you promise him?"
Tang Wulin told Xu Mengqing about what had happened yesterday, leaving Xu Mengqing rather speechless.
"You two should get going! Be careful."
Tang Wulin nodded and left the classroom with Xie Xie.
Seeing that most of the people in the classroom had left, Xu Mengqing rose as well and headed out, planning to return to the dormitory to cultivate.
The moment he stepped out of the teaching building, he saw that the corridors were in an uproar. In the distance, what seemed to be many upperclassmen were crowding around something as they headed outside.
What were they doing?
"Eh, Xu Mengqing?" At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.
Xu Mengqing turned around and saw a graceful figure approaching him. It was Liu Yuxin, the senior from the Advanced Division who had brought him to the academy yesterday during enrollment.
"Senior, is there something you need?" Xu Mengqing asked doubtfully.
"Mengqing, are you and Tang Wulin in Class Five?"
Xu Mengqing nodded. "Our Martial Souls are both Blue Silver Grass, so naturally, we could only be assigned here."
Liu Yuxin hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, is Teacher Wu Zhangkong your homeroom teacher?"
Xu Mengqing nodded. His expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he was utterly speechless.
Did I steal Tang Wulin's script?
But this script...
Liu Yuxin's beautiful eyes immediately lit up. "Mengqing, Senior has something she wants to ask of you."
Uh, looks like he really had stolen it.
He subconsciously nodded again.
Liu Yuxin stuffed something into his hand and whispered, "When you have time during class in the future, help me take some pictures of the cold and proud male god. Oh, I mean your Teacher Wu Zhangkong."
"Is that really okay?" Xu Mengqing looked at her.
Liu Yuxin explained, "It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, you probably don't know this, but Teacher Wu Zhangkong is the number one handsome guy at our academy. He's just a little cold. Whether it's the younger female teachers or the girls in our Advanced Division, they all like him very much. He used to teach us in the Advanced Division too. No one knows what mistake he made to get sent down here to the Intermediate Division, and he even became your class's homeroom teacher. We all feel it's unfair for him. But the academy has already made its decision, so there's nothing we can do now."
In the end, after Liu Yuxin's persistent coaxing and pleading, Xu Mengqing agreed.
"Mengqing, I'll be counting on you from now on. I'm leaving first. Remember to take pictures for me!" She stuffed a device into Xu Mengqing's hands and quickly left. That device was a Soul Guidance Camera.
Xu Mengqing stared blankly at the Soul Guidance Camera in his hand.
"Wait!"
"Senior, I don't know how to use this!"
By the time he reacted, Liu Yuxin had already run far away. She was incredibly fast, and she had gone in the direction Teacher Wu Zhangkong had left.
Xu Mengqing broke into a cold sweat. A handsome man truly brought disaster.
With no other choice, Xu Mengqing tucked the Soul Guidance Camera into his clothes, intending to find someone later and ask how to use it.
He returned all the way to his dormitory, set the Soul Guidance Camera on the table, and only after making sure the doors and windows were tightly shut did he take a deep breath.
The next moment, with a thought, the space around him twisted slightly. His entire body vanished from the spot as he entered the Holy Dragon Pearl Space.
The instant he stepped inside, the noise of the outside world was completely cut off.
The space remained as tranquil and familiar as ever. Under the sunlight, countless Blue Silver Grass plants freely stretched their slender leaves and branches, quietly carrying out photosynthesis. Fresh, gentle scents of vegetation mixed with the aura of life rushed toward him.
"It's still more comfortable here."
Xu Mengqing stretched and muttered to himself.
Afterward, he slowly walked to the side of the faintly glowing lake. With a slight movement of his mind, his dark gold and light blue intertwined Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul instantly spread out from his palm. A jade-white Spirit Ring rose from beneath his feet, slowly pulsing behind him.
Then, under his control, the branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass rapidly entwined, wove together, and condensed. In the blink of an eye, a lustrous Blue Silver Long Spear decorated with floral and vine patterns appeared in his hand.
With the spear in hand, Xu Mengqing steadied his stance. Following the basic spear techniques taught by Zhou Lie, he slowly raised his hand, thrust, swept horizontally, chopped down, and withdrew to defend. Every movement was steady and forceful, without the slightest flourish, yet it fully displayed the essence of the basic spear techniques.
After practicing the spear forms several times, Xu Mengqing finally withdrew his stance and calmed his breath. The Blue Silver Long Spear turned into specks of azure light and dissipated from his palm. He stretched his somewhat sore limbs, then used Devouring Power to absorb some life force and recover.
After resting for a while, Xu Mengqing began working on today's plan. He headed directly toward a corner of this personal space, where there was indeed a large, heavy bag of Blue Silver Grass seeds, along with a hand trowel suitable for him and a wooden bucket.
Before leaving, he had specifically asked his father, Xu Zhan, to buy these seeds. Although Xu Zhan could not understand why his son wanted so many seeds, it was his son's request, so he did not think much about it and simply paid for them without hesitation.
Xu Mengqing stepped out of the Taiji Bagua Blue Silver Array he had meticulously arranged. After passing through a disorderly area of Blue Silver Grass, he walked briskly and soon arrived at the specially cleared planting area along the outer edge of the Blue Silver Grass field.
This was the result of more than a year of Xu Mengqing's hard work.
As far as the eye could see, the area had long since been organized in perfect order. He opened the bag, grabbed a handful of seeds, and a desire to control the power of life gleamed in his eyes.
Today's great farming endeavor was about to begin.
In his previous life, he had been a model young man of the Flower-Planting Nation, so he was quite experienced when it came to planting.
After all, the spirit of "planting flowers" was etched deep into the souls of every Flower-Planting Nation citizen.
Xu Mengqing took a deep breath, scooped a handful from the heavy bag of seeds, and put them into another small sack. Then, holding the trowel, he entered the Blue Silver field he had opened up. His movements were precise and swift as he dug holes, planted seeds, and covered them with soil, everything orderly and incredibly practiced.
After planting, he fetched water from the lake to water them.
He worked for most of the day before finally stopping.
He looked over his work with satisfaction.
Sure enough, I do have some talent for farming.
After resting briefly, Xu Mengqing turned and climbed onto the massive boulder where he usually cultivated. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began circulating the Heaven-Swallowing Spirit-Devouring Art.
As the cultivation technique slowly circulated, the dense elemental energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings, along with traces of life force from the Blue Silver Grass, was drawn toward him and gradually flowed into his body.
This elemental energy and life force traveled through the meridians throughout his body, flowing through his limbs, bones, internal organs, and viscera, tempering and nourishing every inch of his muscles, bones, and flesh before finally transforming into Soul Power.
