My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Li Lingbi, the Core Figure, Celebrates the New Year in a Dream

The Red Maple Valley Market continues.

Since it was Xu Changqing’s first time participating, everything was new and exciting to him.

As noon approached, more and more people joined the market.

Suddenly, something in the sky not far away started flashing.

In the blink of an eye, rows of dark-colored shuttles floated above the market.

Among them was a rather stylish red boat, adorned with a flag.

“The Foundation Establishment stage disciple has arrived!”

“That Red Boat… even the core disciples have appeared!”

“We either walk or use paper cranes, look at other people!”

Like everyone else around him, Xu Changqing looked up.

The shuttle’s interior is small and can’t accommodate many people.

The Red Boat is different; it is several times larger.

Then I saw him surrounded by a group of formal disciples.

The core disciples on the red boat floated down to the ground.

The purple clothes stood out like a crane among chickens in a group of white clothes.

Xu Changqing observed carefully and found that the pattern embroidered on the chest of this core disciple was different from the others.

A triangular mountain with a “符” character written in a vigorous and flowing style on it.

It seems to have some connection with [Yushui Pavilion], but it’s not the same.

At this moment, someone nearby introduced, “It turns out to be Li Lingbi, the core disciple who has awakened three spiritual roots.”

Xu Changqing couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist, why is the pattern on his chest different from ours?”

The person next to him explained, “Because the core disciples all have masters, and all those immortal masters live on the immortal mountains of our [Dongting Immortal Sect].”

Another person added, “The character ‘符’ on this triangular mountain represents the shape of the mountain and the lineage of its master.”

“A talisman—does that mean drawing talismans is very powerful?” Xu Changqing speculated.

Those around him agreed wholeheartedly, saying, “This Li Lingbi is not only a genius with the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood complementing each other, but his master is also the Grandmaster of Talisman Dao of our [Dongting Immortal Sect], the Nascent Soul True Monarch [Mo Qiushui]!”

Xu Changqing could tell that many people envied Li Lingbi, this core disciple.

After all, the status of outer disciples and formal disciples is generally not high.

Only by becoming a core disciple can one have a sliver of a chance to glimpse the path to immortality.

This is why the [Formal Disciple Competition] is so popular.

“Isn’t that… Senior Brother Li Sancai?” Xu Changqing asked in astonishment.

He noticed that an acquaintance was standing next to Li Lingbi.

It was Li Sancai who had helped him many times on the outskirts of Lingtian.

Judging from their positions, the other party was clearly closer to Li Lingbi.

After all, there were quite a few formal disciples around who were even stronger than Li Sancai.

“Hmm?” Noticing someone watching him, Li Sancai subconsciously looked over.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw that familiar face.

I never expected to run into them here.

Seeing this, Li Lingbi asked, “What’s wrong, cousin?”

Li Sancai replied, “I saw an acquaintance.”

Upon hearing this, Li Lingbi smiled and asked, “Should I wait for you?”

Li Sancai quickly shook his head: “No need.”

Admittedly, he and Xu Changqing did have some connection.

But the relationship between the two has not yet reached that level.

Moreover, his cousin had come to the Red Maple Valley market on urgent business.

Therefore, he simply nodded to Xu Changqing as a greeting.

Then, the group led by Li Lingbi continued forward.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the [Nongshim] trading point.

Soon, nearly ten people came out to greet them.

“Who dares to grace us with their presence? It’s Senior Brother Lingbi!” The leader was a female disciple with a wood elemental root, possessing delicate features and a slender figure. Several handsome male Daoist partners with water elemental roots accompanied her.

“Junior Sister Lu!”

Li Lingbi joked, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. You’ve changed your Daoist partner again.”

Lu Yuanyuan smiled slightly: “These spiritual plants are replaced once a year!”

This means that her Daoist companion is like the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

When the time is up, or when people get tired of it, they’ll replace it with a new batch.

Anyway, there are always new disciples every year, and handsome guys are never short of them.

Li Lingbi then followed Lu Yuanyuan into the [Nongshim Society] trading point.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

“Could it be that Li Lingbi is here to buy resources?” Xu Changqing wondered thoughtfully.

This shows just how fierce the competition for resources is right now.

Even core disciples had to come to [Nongshim Society] for help.

Therefore, if you want to earn more, you need to come into contact with people at this level.

We can’t just grow spirit rice; we need to grow other spirit plants that are indispensable to others.

Xu Changqing was not a pedantic person.

You really do need to play it safe when it’s time to play it safe.

But we must also seize the opportunities that are worth taking advantage of.

He has made up his mind that he will plant more than just sacred rice in the spring.

Only by striving to improve one’s self-worth can one avoid being manipulated by people like Zhang Er.

There’s even the possibility of negotiating with a behemoth like Nongshim.

…

It was evening.

Xu Changqing returned to the core of the spiritual field on a flying paper crane.

This trip was incredibly enriching in terms of both what I gained and what I learned.

The house was exactly the same as when I left, covered in snow everywhere.

After settling everything in, he released the little yellow dog from the spirit beast enclosure.

When it was moved to an unfamiliar place, it seemed very nervous, constantly looking around.

“From now on, this will be your home.”

“Don’t pee everywhere!”

“Once it’s not cold anymore, you’ll have to go outside to check on the fields!”

Xu Changqing reached out and touched the little guy’s fluffy head.

Then they began preparing dinner.

Because we have an extra pet, and it’s a spirit beast at that.

Therefore, the portion size should be slightly larger than before.

Anyway, I still have several hundred catties of Grade 2 spirit rice on me, so I don’t have to worry about food at all.

Outside, the cold wind howled.

Snowflakes drifted slowly down from the sky.

The world is getting colder and colder.

The light also became increasingly dim.

Inside the simple wooden house, at the narrow dining table.

A man and a dog ate second-grade spirit rice and drank first-grade spirit rice wine.

Although it is somewhat lonely and monotonous, it has a unique charm.

“A toast to myself, I’ll work even harder next year.” Xu Changqing raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, smacking his lips as he savored the lingering aroma of the alcohol.

“Woof woof!” the little guy barked twice and wagged his tail excitedly.

“Alright, I’ll toast you too. You’d better take good care of the house from now on!” Xu Changqing grinned, then refilled his wine glass and lightly clinked it against its water bowl.

And so it went, one cup after another.

In the end, I didn’t eat much food, but I drank my fill of alcohol.

I had originally planned to stay up all night on New Year’s Eve.

Before long, he felt dizzy and fell asleep.

…

“Fellow Daoist Xu!” After an unknown amount of time, someone’s voice called out from outside.
