Chapter 253

Chapter 252 Greetings to Envoy Xu!

“who?”

Who is Xu Changqing?

“It’s actually Xu Changqing!”

Upon hearing this name, many people feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

In their view, the next Spirit Envoy should be chosen from either the Rong family or the Zhang family.

Rong Yan himself possesses the strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and the Rong family is the number one cultivation family in the Spirit Field.

Zhang Su, as the most powerful spirit farmer in the Zhang family, owns nine acres of second-grade spirit fields and is also qualified to become a Spirit Cultivation Envoy.

Many people even think it could be Li Sancai.

Not to mention, the Li family is now the number one cultivation family in the Imperial Water Pavilion.

The key is that the genius Li Lingbi, who possesses three spiritual roots that complement each other, is about to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Unexpectedly, most people guessed wrong; it turned out to be Xu Changqing, someone they had never paid attention to before and who had only recently gained some fame.

Rong Yan’s gaze froze for a moment, then, as if remembering something, he immediately looked at Zhang Su beside him and glared at her fiercely: “Didn’t you say you were one of us?”

Zhang Su shrugged, with a matter-of-fact expression: “As far as I’m concerned, Junior Brother Xu is indeed one of us.”

Rong Yan’s face darkened: “You dare betray me?”

Zhang Su smiled and said, “Brother Rong, there’s an old saying that goes, ‘A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.'”

Then, he walked towards Li Sancai on the other side, and soon the two stood side by side.

Seeing this, Rong Yan’s pupils contracted slightly. How could he not understand at this moment? He exclaimed in his heart, “So the Zhang family has already sided with the Li family!”

At that moment, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

If Li Lingbi breaks through to the Earth-grade Golden Core stage, he will rise to power completely and no one can stop him.

With this person as their backer, the Zhang family will likely… The outcome is self-evident.

Xu Linshan and the others were overjoyed: “Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu!”

Zhang Su chuckled and said, “Junior Brother Xu, you’ll have to look after your senior brother from now on!”

Even Zhao Ziyao pulled Zhao Ying and his wife forward to congratulate them: “Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu!”

Among the acquaintances, only Li San remained completely calm.

He had already foreseen the outcome.

Xu Changqing looked at the people surrounding him, and bowed to them all, whether he knew them or not: “Thank you all for your support!”

As Li Chun handed over the Spirit Cultivation Envoy’s token, he stepped forward to congratulate him: “Junior Brother Xu, no, you should now be called Spirit Envoy Xu. Your future duties are to inspect the spirit fields and supervise the spirit plants.”

Xu Changqing hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands, saying solemnly, “Thank you, Senior Brother Li!”

Li Chun patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, “This position is very important, so don’t let everyone down.”

Xu Changqing nodded vigorously: “Junior brother understands!”

Just then, Rong Yan suddenly stepped forward and shouted, “Wait!”

All eyes that were originally focused on Xu Changqing were now drawn to him.

Li Chun glanced at him sideways, his eyes quite sharp: “What?”

Rong Yan, steeling himself, asked, “Shouldn’t the result be based on the vote?”

Li Chun revealed a mocking smile and was about to speak.

Elder Hua spoke first: “The significance of the vote is merely to nominate the most suitable person to be the Spirit Cultivator; the real decision rests with Lord He!”

Upon hearing the words “Master He,” Rong Yan’s expression changed drastically.

As is widely known, the highest administrator of the Spirit Field is the Si Geng.

The next level is the Hezhu (禾主).

This person is equivalent to the second-in-command of Lingtian.

They have the right to decide and assign positions.

Hua Lao’s explanation was to tell everyone, especially Xu Changqing, why he was able to take on the role of Spirit Cultivator.

It was decided by the higher-ups, that is, by the master of the grain.

Now, no one dared to question it anymore.

Even if it exists, it can only be kept in one’s heart.

We have to accept this outcome no matter what.

Hua Lao continued, “Alright, everyone except Xu Changqing, please leave first.”

Soon, the rest of the people in the palace left.

In the end, only Xu Changqing and Hua Lao remained face to face.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, “Manager!”

Hua Lao smiled and said, “The reason you were able to become a Spirit Cultivation Envoy is thanks to your performance in the assessment outside the Spirit Field this time, which broke the century-old record and attracted the attention of the Grain Master.”

Xu Changqing suddenly realized: “I see.”

Hua Lao pointed to the token in his hand: “This token is not only a symbol of your identity and status, but also a key to freely enter and exit the core area.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing looked down and examined the object.

The token is an ancient octagonal shape, forged from the fusion of millennia-old cold iron and the essence of spirit wood, and its entire body emits a green glow.

On the front of the token is engraved a lifelike rice seedling.

On the back of the token, delicate cloud patterns are outlined in gold thread.

The token is surrounded by a ring of extremely fine vine-like patterns, with tiny flowers and fruits adorning the vines.

At this moment, it is generating inexplicable fluctuations, as if it is trying to convey some message.

Hua Lao asked with a smile, “Now that you are the Spirit Cultivator, you have the right to change positions. Do you wish to exercise that right now?”

Xu Changqing shook his head decisively: “My position is fine, I don’t need to change places.”

Hua Lao was quite satisfied with this answer and showed an appreciative look: “If everyone could be as content with the status quo and work diligently as you, that would be great.”

Xu Changqing smiled outwardly, but thought to himself, “If I could, I would rather not have this token, let alone the identity of the Spirit Cultivator.”

Elder Hua reminded him, “You can now leave a dual imprint of your spiritual consciousness and blood.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing forced out a drop of blood, which fell onto the seedling on the token.

In an instant, it changed from emerald green to bright red, and then quickly turned into deep yellow.

It looks like a spring seedling that has been nourished by essence and blood and has transformed into a ripe rice in autumn.

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

The moment their spiritual senses made contact, a surge of information flooded into their minds.

Spring trees sprout, and the spiritual veins begin to open.

When the sprout grows to three inches, life naturally begins.

Under the bright summer sun, the trees grow wildly.

It has seven leaves and roots that extend three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the fruits are ripe and juicy.

After three decades of fruitful harvest, the five flavors are stored in the granary.

Winter snow covers the roots, and the spirit sleeps awaiting spring.

Though the cold locks in the three seasons, life is hidden in the shadows.

——The Four Seasons

Xu Changqing’s eyes widened: “This is… a cultivation technique?”

Elder Hua affirmed: “This is a level-eight cultivation technique that only Spirit Cultivation Masters can learn. It is called the Four Seasons Scripture. It is more advanced than the Evergreen Technique and the Wood Spirit Cultivation Technique, but it is quite difficult. When you can learn it depends on your own comprehension.”

Xu Changqing took a deep breath: “Disciple understands.”

After thinking for a moment, Elder Hua said in a deep voice, “Your appearance has disrupted the plans of many families and forces. You must treat it with caution and never underestimate it.”

Furthermore, one must not abuse one’s status as a Spirit Cultivator to bully or suppress others in any way.

Xu Changqing said earnestly, “Please rest assured, Elder Hua, you know me best!”

Old Hua grinned from ear to ear, then shook his roots and said, “You can go now.”

Holding the Spirit Cultivator’s token, Xu Changqing turned and walked step by step towards the palace exit.

When they came out, they found that the square outside was already packed with people.

Especially those I knew, all of them stood in the front row.

Li Chun, Li Sancai, Zhang Su, Zhao Ziyao, Zhao Ying and his wife, Xu Linshan and others, and even Lin An.

Behind them were rows and rows of unfamiliar faces, clearly all spirit farmers from the core of the spirit field.

With that number of people, there are at least five hundred, if not a thousand.

The moment they saw Xu Changqing emerge, they all bowed respectfully and shouted in unison:

“Greetings, Envoy Xu!”
