Chapter 313

Chapter 312 Loss (Thanks to [POOHWlNNLE] for the extra update!)

Xu Changqing has already made his point clear and even expressed his determination.

This moved Elder Hua deeply: “In that case, I will go with you.”

Xu Changqing asked in surprise, “You want to come with me to that area that the Rong family has newly reclaimed?”

Elder Hua nodded slightly: “If it is indeed a harbinger of disaster, then it will not only affect the Rong family, but also many spiritual fields and spiritual plants.”

Xu Changqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Then… how do we get there?”

Hua Laojiang slowly unfolded the map: “Mark the specific locations.”

Because north is at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right, Xu Changqing looked up at the area to the north and quickly found the area newly reclaimed by the Rong family. He immediately pointed and said, “This is it.”

Hua Lao put away the map, then extended a dense network of roots that instantly enveloped himself and Xu Changqing before shrinking away.

In an instant, Xu Changqing and Elder Hua disappeared from the palace, leaving the onlookers in the distance looking at each other in bewilderment.

“What’s going on?”

“Old Master Hua didn’t punish Xu Changqing?”

Something feels off!

Logically speaking, Xu Changqing should be punished for breaking the rules.

But now, not only has it not disappeared, it has vanished along with Hua Lao.

Things would never have turned out this way unless they had become extremely serious.

Although everyone was unhappy that Xu Changqing was breaking the rules by abusing his status as a Spirit Cultivator, they weren’t stupid.

…

…

At the same time, Xu Changqing felt as if he were moving rapidly.

Because of his earth elemental root, he can clearly sense the earth’s energy.

What does this tell us?

This indicates rapid underground movement!

However, when he released his spiritual consciousness, he found that it could not extend outwards.

No, to be precise, it was blocked.

Spiritual awareness can only encompass itself; it cannot penetrate the surrounding roots to observe the outside world.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing frowned slightly, wondering to himself, “Could it be that Elder Hua did this on purpose?”

What unspeakable things are hidden underground?

Of course, even though spiritual awareness is blocked, there is another method.

It involves using the earth elemental root within the body to spread one’s consciousness outwards along with the earth’s energy.

In this way, you can still see the surrounding situation clearly.

But if we do that, it’s very likely to attract the attention of Elder Hua.

Although having an extra spiritual root is not a big deal, many cultivators practice dual cultivation in order to gain an additional spiritual root.

The problem is that wood generates fire, and fire generates earth.

If they demonstrate the ability to manipulate the earth’s energy, it means that the fire elemental root has also appeared.

Therefore, after much thought, Xu Changqing finally suppressed his curiosity and let Hua Lao lead him through the underground.

It didn’t feel like long before it suddenly “arched” upwards.

With a “click,” a faint light gradually appeared around them.

As the roots that had been covering him contracted one by one, Xu Changqing finally saw his surroundings clearly.

Isn’t this the area that the Rong family has just reclaimed?

Old Hua’s voice then rang out: “We’ve arrived.”

Xu Changqing was stunned, feeling that the speed was too fast.

Elder Hua urged, “What are you standing there for? Point out the problematic spirit fields.”

Xu Changqing snapped out of his daze and nodded: “Please come with me.”

He remembered all the problematic spirit fields clearly.

Moreover, at least one Lingnong was specially assigned to be stationed there.

Before long, they arrived at one of the two-grade spirit fields.

The Lingnong stationed here looks to be in his forties or fifties.

Upon seeing the Spirit Cultivation Envoy and the Spirit Field Manager appear at the same time, he jumped up in fright and quickly cupped his hands in greeting: “Greetings, Manager and Spirit Cultivation Envoy, I haven’t been slacking off!”

Hua Lao ignored him, staring intently at the spirit field in front of him, then extended a thick root that quickly stretched out.

Then, with a “snap,” it was inserted into the black soil and continued to explore downwards.

The situation with the black soil was quickly and clearly understood.

At this moment, Xu Changqing asked Ling Nong, who was sweating profusely with nervousness, “Has anything gone wrong here since I left?”

The other party nodded vigorously: “I have been following your instructions and keeping a close watch here at all times, and so far I have not found any problems.”

Xu Changqing shifted his gaze to Elder Hua beside him: “What do you think?”

Hua Lao pondered: “This area was cultivated at the same time, which means that the concentration of the earth’s energy and the degree of fertilization should be about the same.”

The amount of nutrients in black soil can vary.

It depends on how rich the earth’s energy is.

Has fertilizer been applied?

Has it rained auspicious rain?

There are also details such as slash-and-burn agriculture.

Some spirit farmers, or cultivation families that specialize in farming, even install spirit-gathering formations to allow newly cultivated spirit fields to evolve at a faster pace.

Before anyone could ask, the spirit farmer next to him immediately chimed in, “The manager is right. Our spirit fields have a timetable for everything from cultivation to dredging the earth’s energy, fertilizing, and sending spirit rain. Moreover, the team has been working together for many years.”

The team here refers to the earth spirit root that cultivates the spirit field.

Disciples of the Spirit Beast Valley transporting spirit beast excrement.

There are also disciples with water spirit roots from the Imperial Water Pavilion who are specifically tasked with bestowing spiritual rain.

As the leading family in Lingtian, the Rong family collaborates with many professional teams.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for any negligence or error to occur.

Hua Lao remained silent, but moved to another acre of unaffected Grade 2 spiritual field and continued to use the same method, penetrating deep underground through his roots to sense things.

Although the two plots of land are very close, the nutrients in the black soil are indeed different.

A normal one.

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

Something is not normal.

Next, Elder Hua tried several different acres of spirit fields. When he returned to the first problematic acre of spirit field, his expression was even more serious than before: “Little Xu, let’s try another place.”

Xu Changqing nodded upon hearing this: “Please come with me.”

In the following period, the two continued to test the condition of the spirit field.

When Xu Changqing inspected the area before, he found that it did not exceed ten acres.

However, after Hua Lao’s inspection, he discovered that it had exceeded ten acres.

Some of these spiritual fields, which appear normal on the surface, are already gradually and imperceptibly heading towards malnutrition.

“It’s already over ten acres!”

“That speed is undeniably fast!”

“It seems the situation is worse than we thought!”

Xu Changqing and Hua Lao exchanged a glance, both noticing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Lingtian.

The real reason is, where did all these lost nutrients go?

That’s the key point!

Soon, Xu Changqing led Elder Hua to the vicinity of the Rong family’s residential area and quickly located the spirit field where the thousand-ear golden rice was originally planted.

Rong Yan did not ignore Xu Changqing’s reminder and had already arranged for Rong Fu to keep an eye on things here.

It turned out that someone had arrived.

Moreover, one is a Spirit Cultivation Envoy, and the other is a Spirit Field Manager.

Rong Fu was quite nervous. He immediately clasped his hands in a respectful bow and then turned to inform Rong Yan.

Hua Lao walked down the ridge and quickly came to the unburied pit. A thick root extended into it, and when it reappeared, it was covered with bluish-purple spots and densely packed insect eggs!
