Chapter 239

Chapter 238 Goodnight

It was late afternoon.

Around 3 PM.

Li Sancai arrived with a land deed for a second-grade spirit field and a team of five people with earth spirit roots.

Xu Changqing glanced around and noticed that the people who were reclaiming and cultivating the land were relatively unfamiliar faces.

Judging from the looks of it, it should be another team from the Earth Vein side.

He was rather disappointed that it wasn’t Wu Guangman and the others.

After all, everyone was very satisfied with the previous cooperation.

However, the final arrangement depends on Senior Brother Li.

Li Sancai handed over the land deed and then asked, “Junior Brother Xu, I heard you broke the record this time?”

Xu Changqing took it with both hands, examining it as he replied, “It seems so.”

Li Sancai said with great regret, “It’s a pity that you can only take the exam this year. If you went every year, our Lingtian would definitely be full of talented people.”

Xu Changqing carefully put away the land deed and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression: “Why?”

Of course, it’s not that he’s particularly fond of the outer areas of the spirit field.

It’s simply incomprehensible.

Logically, shouldn’t we continue doing better?

Li Sancai explained, “Our spirit fields, especially the core area, are mostly populated by honest and hardworking wood spirit root farmers.”

However, as time went on, various families and powerful factions gradually emerged.

Speaking of families, the Rong family is now the head of Lingtian.

The Zhang family came next.

As for small families, there are even more.

In terms of influence, the largest is Nongshim Society.

In addition, there are smaller factions such as the Farmers’ Army.

In groups of three or five, or in pairs.

These people together wield considerable influence.

Even the assessment tasks that were once monopolized by the Rong and Zhang families have now been changed so that each person only has one assessment opportunity within ten years.

In other words, after Xu Changqing completes this year’s assessment tasks, he will not be able to perform his duties for at least ten years.

After hearing the explanation, Xu Changqing suddenly realized, “I see, that makes sense then.”

Li Sancai teased, “Now you’re even more impressive than me. You’re only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet you own five acres of second-grade spirit fields. You’re almost catching up with your Senior Brother Zhang.”

Xu Changqing spoke frankly: “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have a share of this spirit field.”

Li Sancai felt pleased to hear this, but his expression quickly turned serious: “I can’t give you the reward of 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones right now. We’ll have to wait until the spirit stone returns.”

Xu Changqing waved his hand: “Although you and I are not related by blood, we have always been the closest fellow disciples. Talking about this would make us feel distant.”

To put it bluntly, given their relationship, what difference would it make if they didn’t give it to each other?

Moreover, given Li Sancai’s character, it’s impossible that he would embezzle it.

However, Xu Changqing’s words were actually a clear message to Li Sancai.

I will accept this favor; our relationship will only get better from now on.

These are trivial matters, not worth worrying about.

Hearing this, Li Sancai breathed a sigh of relief.

I even felt a little fortunate that I chose to help the other person when they were down on their luck.

If he refuses, with that person’s talent, he can still thrive even without me.

But by then, it will probably be too late to try to build good relationships.

It would have been impossible for it to have developed to its current level.

After a while, Li San left on a flying paper crane.

Xu Changqing saw this and thought to himself, “Senior Brother Li is so good to me, why don’t I help him refine a magical artifact that can be used for both transportation and attack or defense?”

I just need to think of a good excuse to give it to the recipient.

By evening, the five-person Earth Spirit Root team decided to rest and finish the rest the next day.

This time, however, Xu Changqing did not agree. Instead, he settled the matter with the spirit stones and told them not to come back tomorrow, as he had other plans.

Coincidentally, we took this opportunity to have Han Su come over and loosen the soil.

After so long, it’s time to reconnect.

Although the five members of the Earth Spirit Root team were unhappy about this, they didn’t dare to show it.

Judging from the number of spirit fields, this wood-root spirit farmer is definitely not simple.

It can cultivate five acres of second-grade spiritual fields.

It’s not because of a high level of cultivation.

It means having a wide network of connections.

In short, they are absolutely not to be trifled with.

After these people left, Xu Changqing turned around and went into the stone house to start preparing dinner.

As soon as it was finished, Yu Caiqing hurriedly entered the room.

Xu Changqing pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile, “Senior Sister Yu, hurry up…”

However, the next second a fragrant breeze wafted over, and soft jade bumped into her arms. Then, Yu Caiqing said in a trembling voice, “Let’s not eat anymore, let’s go upstairs quickly!”

Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise, “You’re so cold today!”

At this moment, Yu Caiqing’s body was radiating an astonishing chill.

Where is the warmth of the past? It feels like holding a block of ice.

Yu Caiqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “After half a year of hard work, my Ice Water Spirit Root is only a hair’s breadth away from mutating into an Ice Spirit Root.”

Xu Changqing took a deep breath: “Okay, let’s go upstairs!”

Immediately, neither of them ate.

He closed the door and went straight upstairs.

Soon, the bedroom was filled with intense heat.

Every now and then, bursts of chill would erupt.

Before they knew it, the two of them had been up until midnight.

At this moment, Yu Caiqing’s entire body was covered with a layer of crystal-clear frost.

If she weren’t breathing, she would look like an ice sculpture.

The intense chill even suppressed the heat.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing nervously retreated to the bedroom doorway, ready to escape at any moment.

Fortunately, through Yu Caiqing’s unremitting efforts, she finally absorbed the emitted cold energy back little by little and stored it in her dantian.

Her goal has finally been achieved.

The Ice Water Spirit Root completely mutated into the Ice Spirit Root.

Although the balance of Yin and Yang cannot yet be achieved, the Yin-Yang Intertwined Pill can already be refined.

只要服下这种地阶丹药，不但能让身体回到初始状态，还可以借此机会突破到金丹期。

虽然，此时的鱼采卿依旧面色苍白，可徐长青能够清晰的感受到，如今她的情况比之前好多了。

这种状态，原本只在双修时才能出现。

“呼~”

鱼采卿吐口寒气，随即抬起眼帘，眼神略显淡漠地说：“长青，这半年来辛苦你了。”

徐长青干笑几声：“还好。”

鱼采卿沉声道：“今后，我来找你的次数会减少。

一个是，冰灵根会克制双修的冲动。

另一个是，我接下来要炼制阴阳交错丹。”

“哦？”徐长青眼神微动，心中不免有些惋惜。

这小半年来，两人虽然不是道侣，却胜似道侣。

该发生的行为、动作、谈话等，基本都有了。

但能理解，对方来这里本身就是为了木生火，从而刺激另外的冰水灵根加快变异速度。

如今目标完成，离开很正常。

鱼采卿冰冷的面容，展露出一丝春容：“可今晚，我还在这！”

徐长青愣一下，接着眼前一亮，立马拥向对方：“那咱们继续！”
