Taking Turns to Celebrate, Three Unexpected Arrivals (2/3)

Apart from Han Xin and Han Su, who could not be contacted.

The rest of the people who received the notification had almost the same reaction.

What?

Stunned!

Not long ago, Xu Changqing said he was in the Late Qi Refining, and now, not long after, he has actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. This is incredible.

Normally, after the Late Qi Refining, there is another minor realm, or a stage where one is easily stuck, which is the Qi Refining Perfection.

Many people even need the Foundation Establishment to break through to the next level.

Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing suddenly announced to the public that he had "successfully Foundation Establishment."

Li Sancai was stunned. "You... Foundation Establishment?"

Zhang Su asked incredulously, "Already at the same level as me?"

Hu Bugui both surprised and delighted. "Old Xu, wait here, I'll bring some spirit beast meat over, let's celebrate properly!"

Zhao Ziyue suddenly dropped the fishing rod from his hand, his expression one of dejection. "Is fishing really a dead end?"

Bai Ling'er grinned and said, "Congratulations! It's a pity my older sister won't let me look for you!"

Chu Qiu raised an eyebrow. "I'm still participating in the [Crossing Festival], let's talk about it when I get back!"

I only know a few people right now, and I've already notified everyone I could.

Anyway, apart from Chu Qiu and Bai Ling'er, the others will all come to celebrate.

Therefore, starting from noon, Xu Changqing was busy in the kitchen preparing various foods.

They generously shared a portion of everything they had, whether it was Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice, top-grade vegetables, top-grade fruits, or top-grade wines.

The first person to arrive was Hu Bugui.

Upon hearing that Xu Changqing had successfully Foundation Establishment, he immediately and excitedly slaughtered one of his own raised spirit pigs, and then bought a lot of meat from spirit beasts that were over a hundred years old.

While everyone else was surprised and astonished, only Hu Bugui convinced.

After all, once Spirit Farmer reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will have two acres of Grade-Two Spirit Field, at which point he will definitely need more Spirit Beast Manure.

Given their relationship, they naturally couldn't look for someone else.

"You're here." Xu Changqing handed over a slice of watermelon.

Hu Bugui chuckled and took a bite, his mouth immediately filled with a sweet taste. Then, glancing at the newly added Spirit Fields outside, he asked, "Old Xu, what are you planning to plant on your second acre of Spirit Fields?"

Xu Changqing chopped pork ribs with a cleaver and replied, "Maybe we'll plant some valuable Spirit Plant."

Hu Bugui wholeheartedly agreed, "When there's enough Spirit Rice Grain, making money should definitely be the priority."

Cultivating immortality requires that wealth, companions, methods, and location are all indispensable.

Wealth represents the elixirs, food, clothing, and retreat expenses needed for cultivation.

"Companion" doesn't necessarily mean a romantic partner; it can also refer to like-minded cultivation partners.

The term "law" naturally refers to the Cultivation Method and Law Technique used in cultivation.

The type of land varies depending on the type of Spirit Root. For Wood Spirit Root, it is definitely Spirit Fields.

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them."

Hu Bugui held a watermelon in his left hand and scratched his head with his right. "If you ask me about things related to spirit beasts, I can talk a lot about them, but I really don't know much about planting."

Xu Changqing nodded slightly to show his understanding. "It's alright, take your time eating, there are other people coming later."

Not long after, the second person finally arrived.

But to the surprise of Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui.

It wasn't Li Sancai or Zhao Ziyue, but rather Zhang Su.

"Master Xu... no, now I should call you Fellow Daoist Xu!" Zhang Su descended from the sky, stepping on butterflies that kept changing their camouflage colors, and holding a yellow Spirit Plant in her hands.

Xu Changqing quickly washed his hands, then led Hu Bugui out to greet them, "Senior Brother Zhang, you flatter me. In your presence, I will always be your junior brother."

Zhang Su was taken aback for a moment, then her smile widened, "No wonder you were able to successfully Foundation Establishment, Junior Brother Xu!"

Fellow Daoist and Junior Brother – it may seem like just a difference in how they address each other.

In reality, this also represents the relationship between them.

It must be said that this junior brother Xu is truly flawless in terms of his character.

Some people may seem honest when they are at a lower level, but once they reach the same level, they immediately start to show their true colors.

Zhang Su had encountered similar situations more than once.

However, Xu Changqing was different. Even though he had reached the same level as him, he remained humble, low-key, and honest, and was especially sincere in his dealings with others.

Although Hu Bugui wasn't familiar with him, he still bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Hello."

Zhang Su responded and then handed over the Spirit Plant in his hand, "Junior Brother Xu, to celebrate your Foundation Establishment, I specially prepared a [Sunward Flower]."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xu Changqing hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands.

The Sunward Flower is actually a type of sunflower.

Two flowers are the most famous in the Dongting Immortal Sect.

One of them was located at the Spirit Field Core; it was enormous, resembling a small golden sun.

Almost all sunflowers originate from this plant; it can be considered the mother plant.

The other flower, however, has been refined into Law Artifact by the sword cultivator Qin Baili.

The sunflower, this Spirit Plant, has two functions.

One is to absorb and store sunlight.

One is to gather more sunlight.

For the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Fields, it can accelerate their growth.

Of course, if there's only one flower, the amplification effect won't be significant.

Since it was a gift from Zhang Su, Xu Changqing naturally valued it highly.

Looking at the extra acre of Spirit Fields, Zhang Su couldn't help but nod. "That's great. With two acres of Spirit Fields, the yield will double, and we can earn more Spirit Stone."

Xu Changqing placed the sunflower on the windowsill and then joked, "Compared to my senior brother, I'm definitely a nobody."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Su burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Xu Changqing brought over a wooden chair. "Senior brother, take a rest. Senior brother Li Sancai should be coming over later. This time, I'll let you taste my cooking."

When Zhang Su heard that Li Sancai coming, she originally wanted to leave, but now she immediately sat down.

Of course, the environment, atmosphere, and daily necessities here can't compare to what I have at home.

After a while, a third person appeared.

Who?

Zhao Ziyue!

This fellow was holding several white fish in his hand.

Xu Changqing went over to greet him, "Lao Zhao, you've arrived."

Zhao Ziyue chuckled dryly, "This is from..."

At this moment, Hu Bugui curled his lip and said, "There's nothing shameful about buying it."

Zhao Ziyue's smile froze, but he forced himself to continue, "This is a red snapper I caught from a river near Beast Spirit Valley."

Zhang Su couldn't help but say, "This kind of fish has tender flesh and few bones, making it perfect for steaming."

Xu Changqing took it, examining it as he said, "Senior brother is an expert."

Zhang Su said with considerable pride, "When it comes to eating, drinking, and enjoying life, no one in the entire Spirit Fields can compare to me!"

"Alright, I'll do as my senior brother says, steam it then." Xu Changqing didn't mind in this regard.

Then, he took the red carp with its upturned snout and went into the kitchen.

Because Zhang Su was present, neither Hu Bugui nor Zhao Ziyue dared to speak freely, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Fortunately, someone soon appeared to break the deadlock.

Naturally, it's Li Sancai, whom everyone is eagerly anticipating.

Xu Changqing washed his hands again and went out to greet him, "Senior Brother Li!"

Zhang Su greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li Sancai!"

Li Sancai was surprised. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhang to be here as well."

Zhang Su explained, "Junior Brother Xu and I are old acquaintances."

After Li Sancai landed on his Flying Paper Crane, he took out a mirror from his Storage Bag: "Junior Brother Xu, this is a gift I brought for you!"

Xu Changqing took it and examined it carefully, then asked curiously, "Senior brother, what is this?"

Zhang Su clapped his hands first and said, "This is a good thing, called the [Spirit Light Mirror]. As long as you inject your own spiritual power, you can freely see the transaction price of Spirit Plant in the Immortal Sect that day. One side is worth 30 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!"

Upon hearing that it would cost thirty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, the three people beside him widened their eyes in astonishment.

Xu Changqing presented the gifts with both hands and bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Li Sancai waved his hand. "Don't be so polite."

Xu Changqing pointed inside the room and said, "Senior brother, inside..."

Before he could finish speaking, a Flying Paper Crane drifted in from afar, carrying three people who surprised Xu Changqing, Hu Bugui, and Zhao Ziyue!
