Summer Spirit Rice Planting, Zhang Xue's Probe

Above the clouds, the immortals bowed their heads.

"Another one who's fallen into demonic possession."

"This is the third time in a century!"

"Qiu Feng's aptitude is decent; could he save his life?"

"Devil Qi is invisible; it can only be eliminated by possessing a host."

"So it seems the things below won't be able to hold up?"

Upon entering Red Maple Valley, Xu Changqing and his companions did not linger.

Instead, it flew straight to the fork in the road near Spirit Fields before stopping.

Then, one by one, they were panting heavily, still shaken.

Hu Bugui exclaimed in amazement, "The Golden Core is terrifying!"

Zhao Ziyue said earnestly, "Only by reaching the Golden Core Realm can one have enough spiritual power to activate Earth Grade Law Technique."

As Xu Changqing examined the damaged Flying Paper Crane, he asked, "Was Qin Baili's attack just now an Earth Grade Law Technique?"

However, Zhao Ziyue shook his head. "No, that was just a casual strike from his Law Artifact."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui exchanged a glance.

They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

A casual strike from Golden Core could cause such terrifying damage.

Zhao Ziyue glanced at the two of them and reminded them, "What happened today will definitely alarm the Immortal Master."

If anyone comes to inquire, try not to offend the Qiu Clan.

Although this matter affected many formal disciples.

But the Qiu Clan is ultimately backed by the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Qiu Feng is not the only member of the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Not to mention core disciples, there are even True Disciples.

These cultivators, lacking both background and power, are simply not to be trifled with.

"Of course." Neither Xu Changqing nor Hu Bugui were fools.

Zhao Ziyue thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "How about... we go fishing?"

Before Xu Changqing could speak, even Hu Bugui couldn't help but ask, "After something like this, you still have the mood to go fishing?"

Zhao Ziyue curled his lip and said, "If you're not going, I will."

He then walked toward the river where he had been fishing.

After Zhao Ziyue had walked a distance, Hu Bugui called out with a playful expression, "Old Xu!"

"Hmm?" Xu Changqing looked at him in confusion.

Hu Bugui blinked and asked curiously, "What does it feel like?"

Xu Changqing was even more confused. "What... what feeling?"

"Playing dumb?"

Hu Bugui glared at him. "I saw it with my own eyes, those three girls were all clinging to you."

"Cough."

Xu Changqing gave an awkward smile, "I was too nervous at the time, I didn't feel anything."

Hu Bugui raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled, and said, "That's strange. Lao Zhao and I are both so handsome and dashing, why did they all choose you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing looked the "Golden Toad" up and down.

His lips twitched uncontrollably several times.

Hu Bugui acting like a nouveau riche now.

Zhao Ziyue also possessed a somewhat pedantic, scholarly air.

Each one is more abnormal than the last.

Of course, Xu Changqing didn't think he was really charming.

He suspected it was caused by the Spirit Root or the Companion Green Lotus.

First of all, Bai Ling'er and Zhang Xue both have Water Spirit Roots.

Water nourishes wood; they are instinctively drawn to each other.

Bai Zhuer, although she has Fire Spiritual Root...

Wood can generate fire, and they will also attract each other.

The two chatted for a while at the crossroads before going their separate ways.

Hu Bugui to the Beast Spirit Valley.

Xu Changqing returned to Spirit Fields.

Who would have thought that attending a party would almost lead to losing one's virginity?

It seems I can't go too far from home in the future.

Just wander around the Spirit Fields area.

After all, it's unbelievable to encounter such an outrageous thing even within the Immortal Sect.

If we go outside, who knows what might happen?

In the days that followed, Xu Changqing behaved himself.

He refused Hu Bugui's invitation to go fishing.

Stay home if you can, and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

As the temperature rises day by day.

Summer has finally arrived.

The cicadas' chirping grew increasingly noisy.

At this moment, Xu Changqing, wearing a straw hat, stood on the edge of the field.

He just contacted Bai Ling'er and asked her to come and bring rain.

Judging by the time estimate, we should be arriving soon.

Actually, spring is fine, because there is spring rain so the Water Spirit Root doesn't need much help.

But once summer arrives, with the rising temperature, I have to cast [Minor Cloud-Rain Art] at least three times.

Based on current market prices, the reward for one use is equivalent to twenty catties of Second-Grade Spirit Rice.

It should have been higher, but since they were acquaintances.

Therefore, the compensation is negotiable.

Just then, a shadow suddenly drifted over.

Woof woof!

The yellow dog, Wangwang, suddenly started barking.

Fellow Daoist Xu!

At the same time, a familiar voice rang out from above.

Xu Changqing looked up and was immediately stunned. "Zhang Xue?"

I clearly contacted Bai Ling'er.

Why is it this person coming?

Seemingly noticing his confusion, Zhang Xue lowered the shuttle and explained, "Bai Zhuer won't let my sister come here, so Junior Sister Ling'er asked me to help."

"Uh." Xu Changqing was taken aback.

Zhang Xue chuckled and asked, "Not welcome?"

Xu Changqing quickly waved his hand. "No, as long as someone comes to bring rain, that's fine."

After examining the Spirit Fields, Zhang Xue gently raised her jade-like hand.

In an instant, the Water Spiritual Power within his body surged forth.

Instantly, a cloud of black mist rapidly gathered above the Spirit Fields.

Xu Changqing was surprised.

This person's "Minor Cloud-Rain Art" is stronger than Bai Ling'er's.

And not just a little bit.

One is slightly blackish.

One has already turned black.

The difference is visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it started to rain.

Moreover, there is more rain and more Spiritual Qi.

Nourished by the spiritual rain, the rice seedlings and vegetables in the Spirit Fields stretched out as if they were breathing.

At this moment, Zhang Xue asked seemingly casually, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I heard you know Zhang Su?"

Xu Changqing nodded. "Yes, I do know Senior Brother Zhang. He helped me when I first joined the Spirit Field Core."

Zhang Xue continued, "Did you know that Zhang Su and Zhang Er are cousins?"

Xu Changqing replied, "I know."

From the moment Zhang Er appeared, and Zhang Su ended the cooperation.

He guessed it.

To be honest, I really dislike Zhang Er.

But he had no complaints about Zhang Su.

I am even very grateful.

After all, they had indeed helped me.

There was no withholding of Spirit Stones or anything like that.

The only pity is that I can no longer harvest lifespan from the Spirit Fields.

Zhang Xue said with a half-smile, "Zhang Er, Zhang Su, and I come from the same cultivation Lineage."

Xu Changqing frowned. "I don't care about that."

"That's good." Zhang Xue nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the answer.

Before long, the Minor Cloud-Rain Art was completed.

She didn't linger; after receiving her payment, she quickly drove away in her flying shuttle.

Seeing that no one was around, Xu Changqing immediately waved his hand.

The Companion Green Lotus flew away with a "drip-drip".

It landed steadily in the very center of the Spirit Fields field, and then the Green Lotus Domain unfolded.

Immediately, the Spirit Plants, which were already nourished by the spiritual rain, began to grow slowly, visible to the naked eye.

Judging from the current progress, it should be ready in about two months.

As a result, this year's output is likely to exceed 20,000 jin.

Suddenly, Zhang Xue's words echoed in my ears again.

Xu Changqing took off his straw hat, fanning his face as he asked in surprise, "What exactly does she mean???"
