Chapter 199

Chapter 198 The Promised Day

Soon, Xu Changqing followed Bai Ling’er to the third floor of the Imperial Water Pavilion.

As soon as I came up here, I felt like I was in a completely different world from downstairs.

The third floor is larger than I imagined.

It consisted of rows of numbered rooms, such as 301.

I thought it was a residential area, but it turned out to be a floor specifically for making talismans.

It seems that these cultivators with water-elemental roots separate their work and life.

Everyone on this floor is either a talisman master or a family member of a talisman master.

Bai Ling’er, Bai Zhu’er.

One is in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the other is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Logically speaking, they shouldn’t be qualified to enter the third floor of the Imperial Water Pavilion.

But they have a good father, a high-level talisman master who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

That is why the two women can come and go freely without being affected in any way.

Soon, Xu Changqing met Bai Ling’er’s father.

This person’s name is Bai Xiaotian.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of sharp, cold eyes.

Years of drawing runes have made his hands have distinct joints, and even his palms are soaked in ink.

He was wearing a dark-colored robe with cloud patterns, and the hem was embroidered with wave-shaped water patterns.

Overall, it gives people a calm and reserved feeling.

Judging from her appearance, she should be around forty or fifty years old.

For cultivators, this age is not old, and may even be considered quite young.

Bai Ling’er skipped and hopped forward: “Father!”

Xu Changqing followed closely behind, quickly cupping his hands in a respectful bow: “Senior Bai!”

Bai Xiaotian glanced at his youngest daughter and saw that her mouth was covered in food. He felt a headache coming on: “Can’t you wipe your mouth?”

Other people’s daughters are either making progress or on their way to making progress.

My own youngest daughter is either sneaking food or on her way to sneaking food.

Although he has made progress in drawing talismans, he is still a long way from becoming a talisman master.

Fortunately, his eldest daughter is doing well and is now a junior alchemist, so he doesn’t have to worry about her.

Bai Ling’er retorted confidently, “You wipe it after eating only half of your meal?”

“you……”

Bai Xiaotian almost blushed. To calm himself down, he simply shifted his gaze to Xu Changqing and looked him up and down with a scrutinizing look: “You’re the Lingnong that Ling’er often mentions, the one who cooks so well?”

“Uh…yes.” Xu Changqing nodded.

Bai Xiaotian asked curiously, “Why are you, with a wood elemental root, suddenly interested in runes?”

Xu Changqing explained, “As my number of spiritual fields increases and my strength improves, I need to use runes for almost everything, whether it’s formations or spiritual artifacts, so I want to learn more about them.”

Bai Xiaotian nodded slightly: “It seems that you are a person who is eager to improve. That’s good. I admire people like that.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing felt that there was something more to the other person’s words.

At this moment, Bai Ling’er stood on tiptoe and waved her dirty right hand in front of her father’s eyes: “Father, where’s the book?”

Bai Xiaotian looked down and asked, “Why don’t you just send a few books? Why do you want me to annotate them myself?”

Bai Ling’er retorted confidently once again, “How could a wood-elemental spirit farmer understand it without annotations?”

Bai Xiaotian was stunned. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

It wasn’t that he was angry, but rather that he suddenly realized there seemed to be a tiny bit of truth to it.

Xu Changqing stood to the side, his expression already betraying his barely suppressed emotions.

After a while, Bai Xiaotian came to his senses, then flicked his sleeve, and several books about runes appeared in his hand: “Take these.”

Bai Ling’er took it, turned around and presented it to Xu Changqing as if to claim credit: “Hehe, I kept my word!”

Xu Changqing bowed again, saying, “Thank you, Senior Bai, thank you, Ling’er!”

After expressing his gratitude, he finally took the book into his hands.

He looked down and saw that it was covered with the marks of time, and even the titles of the books were blurred.

It seems that Bai Xiaotian will take it out and look at it from time to time.

That is why one can become a high-level talisman master during the Foundation Establishment stage.

He probably dedicated half his life to the art of runes.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaotian waved his hand and said, “You can go now.”

Xu Changqing bowed for the third time: “Alright, I’ll head back to the Spirit Field now.”

Before leaving, he took out several kinds of food and gave them to Bai Ling’er.

I’m so grateful to them this time.

If these books were taken out, they would definitely be snatched up by apprentices with water-elemental roots.

She only turned and left when she could carry no more.

Returning from the third floor to the second floor, I noticed that there were far fewer people here.

It seems that all the formal disciples from earlier have left, including Huo Wan and the others.

There were only three people.

One is the blue sky, which is severely injured.

One of them was the manager of the Imperial Water Pavilion.

There was another one, who appeared to be a female doctor?

They paid no attention to passersby, not even glancing at them.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing stopped watching and quickly went to the first floor of the Imperial Water Pavilion.

Sure enough, even the number of water-elemental disciples gathered here has decreased.

Although some people were still discussing the blue sky and the motorcycle, their emotions were much more stable than before.

Xu Changqing observed this and thought to himself, “This Mosha probably wants to test the strength of his opponents before the formal disciple competition begins, and maybe even take down a few in advance.”

Someone like Lan Tian, although he is the number one formal disciple of Yu Shui Ge, sounds very impressive.

But you should know that he has already been defeated by several people.

One of them was Chu Qiu.

Therefore, if Mosha still wants to take on more challenges, his next destination is likely to be the Valley of Spirit Beasts.

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing quickly walked out of the Imperial Water Pavilion and then took out Chu Qiu’s communication talisman.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

I wanted to notify them in advance so they could prepare.

As a result, the other side didn’t react at all.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing roughly guessed what was going on.

He put away Chu Qiu’s communication talisman and then summoned the Bigleaf Grass.

Of course, it wasn’t to go to Spirit Beast Valley to check on the situation.

Instead, they went home.

If you can notify them, then notify them.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t get notified.

After all, he was just an ordinary spiritual farmer.

He neither wanted to participate in the formal disciple competition nor wanted to get involved in this controversy.

Honestly farming and gradually increasing lifespan and strength is better than anything else.

An hour later, Xu Changqing returned home.

Wangwang, Pearl Chicken, Fortress, and Five Fire Crows have already rested.

Seeing this, he did not disturb them, but went to the study, lit the glass lamp, and planned to look at the books that Bai Xiaotian had annotated.

When the first book of Rune Origins was opened, a rich aroma of paper and ink wafted out.

The first page is the table of contents:

I. Origin of Runes: The Manifestation of the Laws of Heaven and Earth

II. Ancient Period: The Initial Formation of the Rune System

III. Medieval Transformation: The Popularization of Talisman Paper and Low-Tier Runes

IV. Early Modern Development: The Integration of Runes with Artifacts and Formations

The contents are not complicated.

With Bai Xiaotian’s annotations, it becomes even more accessible and easier to understand.

Normally, Xu Changqing would use his spiritual sense to scan and directly imprint the information into his mind, forming a memory.

But this time, he kept watching, even becoming engrossed.

…

…

Time flew by, and the day I had agreed to meet with Senior Sister Yu arrived.

Thinking that the other party might be so engrossed in alchemy that he forgot to eat and sleep, Xu Changqing specially prepared a sumptuous spiritual meal, and then rode the large-leaf grass towards the Earth Fire Zone!
