My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 443
Chapter 442 Becoming an Apprentice to Si Geng!
Although the other party was young, Xu Changqing did not dare to underestimate him and quickly cupped his hands and said, “My name is Xu Changqing, and I am here to see Si Geng.”
The other person suddenly realized: “You’re Xu Changqing!”
Xu Changqing was stunned: “You…know me?”
The person in front of me chuckled and said, “My name is Mu Ning, and I’m your senior sister.”
Xu Changqing cupped his hands again: “So it was Senior Sister Mu in person.”
Mu Ning’s eyes flickered, then she raised her chin: “I heard you’re also an insect cultivator, and you even raise a reverse-pulse dragon-transformed insect queen?”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “Not bad.”
Mu Ning immediately became interested: “Quick, quick, summon it so that Senior Sister can have a look!”
Xu Changqing looked slightly embarrassed: “This…”
Mu Ning puffed out her cheeks, feigning anger, and said, “You’re not listening to your senior sister?”
Xu Changqing gave an awkward smile and was about to explain.
Just then, another beautiful figure emerged from inside.
The other person was tall and had a typical oval face.
Instead of wearing a skirt, she wore a black outfit with green trim.
Her skin tone is the same wheat color as Mu Ning’s.
Her long hair was tied into a high bun with an ebony hairpin.
High brow bone, slightly raised brow peak.
He had a high, straight nose with a very shallow scar at the root of his nose.
When expressionless, he exudes an air of authority and aloofness.
She first glanced at Xu Changqing, then walked to Mu Ning’s side, lowered her head, and glared at her with her beautiful eyes: “Sneaked out again?”
Mu Ning chuckled: “Sister Qing Tang, I’m here to welcome Sixth Junior Brother.”
Bei Qingtang shook her head helplessly, then called out to Xu Changqing, “Junior Brother Xu, please go in quickly!”
Xu Changqing immediately followed, and the three of them talked as they walked.
“Mu Ning is both Master’s daughter and your fifth senior sister!”
“I am your senior sister, my name is Bei Qingtang…”
Through his conversation with the other party, Xu Changqing gained a general understanding of the situation.
The master is also known as Si Geng, and his name is Mu Ji.
He previously had five disciples, now he has six.
The eldest senior sister is named Bei Qingtang. She is at the Golden Core stage, with dual spiritual roots of wood and earth, and has learned the Wood Vein Traction Technique.
The second senior brother is named Zhou Yan. He is in the Golden Core stage, has a wood spiritual root, and studies the Green Wood Spiritual Plant Manual.
The third senior brother is named Qin Ye. He is in the Golden Core stage, has a wood spiritual root, and specializes in vine binding techniques.
The fourth senior brother is named Gu Qiao. He is at the Golden Core stage, with a Wood-Metal spiritual root, and he has learned the Iron-Wood Melting Vein Technique.
Fifth Senior Sister is named Mu Ning. She has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and possesses a mutated wood spiritual root. She has learned the Spirit Sprout Living Insect Record.
The sixth brother… his greatness needs no further explanation.
Xu Changqing asked curiously, “Senior Sister, are you from the Luohe clan?”
Bei Qingtang nodded slightly: “Not bad.”
Xu Changqing immediately smiled and said, “A few days ago, when I went to the earth veins, I happened to meet a female cultivator with an earth spiritual root named Bei Qinghui.”
Bei Qingtang said calmly, “That’s my cousin.”
Seeing the other party’s attitude, Xu Changqing stopped talking.
And so, the three of them entered the Qiongxin Palace step by step.
There are no bricks or tiles inside the hall; it is filled entirely with naturally growing spiritual plants.
The pillars and beams were covered with vines that welcomed spirits, adorned with tiny white flowers the size of rice grains.
Above us was a dome of intertwined leaves, layer upon layer, with sunlight filtering through the gaps and refracted by the dew hanging between the leaves into a floating rainbow.
In the middle area, about ten zhang long, there was a wooden table made of tree heartwood, which was three zhang long and more than one zhang wide.
The wood is a warm, honey-yellow color with a jade-like sheen. There are no carvings on the table, only natural growth rings.
Behind the desk was a rattan chair, the seat of which was made of countless coiled vines, with the tips of the vines curling upwards to form armrests.
Six stools made of jade branches were placed on either side of the table. The stool seats were made of jade branches with naturally curved edges, and the stool legs were made of spirit vines.
To the left of the main hall is the library, with rows of bookshelves displaying books such as the Lingtian Baiwenlu.
On the right, a small plot of land was enclosed by a green jade circle about half a person’s height, in which three rare spiritual plants were planted.
In the center is a thousand-year-old herb that has attained enlightenment.
There is a thousand-year-old echo flower on each side.
There were faint sounds coming from inside, but they were not clear.
The entire palace seemed to breathe; all the spiritual plants and wood-based objects within sight were stretching out, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Xu Changqing glanced around but did not find anyone resembling Si Geng.
Just as he was puzzled, he heard footsteps from the other side.
Immediately afterwards, an old farmer dressed in a gray cloth short brown, with calloused hands and a wooden plow hanging from his waist, came out.
He was accompanied by three men, all of whom were male cultivators.
The person closest to the old farmer exuded an air of scholarly refinement.
The man following closely behind was burly, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and appeared quite wild.
The person at the very back was thin, taciturn, and looked rather dull.
Bei Qingtang hurriedly stepped forward, then cupped her hands in a respectful bow: “Master!”
Mu Ning skipped and hopped over, calling out sweetly, “Father!”
Xu Changqing hurriedly followed suit, while wondering to himself, “Si Geng is so old, how come his daughter is so young?”
Mu Ji sat down, and then looked at Xu Changqing along with the others.
Many people would panic under the gaze of so many people.
After all, it’s either the Nascent Soul stage or the Golden Core stage.
Xu Changqing remained calm inside, but outwardly feigned nervousness: “Greetings, Si…Si Geng!”
Mu Ji said with a half-smile, “Little Xu, although this is our first meeting, Zhu Fuxian has mentioned you many times in private.”
Xu Changqing didn’t speak, but simply lowered his head and waited patiently.
Sure enough, Mu Ji continued, “Although your cultivation aptitude is a bit lacking, you are indeed outstanding in terms of talent for cultivating spiritual plants and your sense of responsibility.”
“I heard they prevented the disaster from happening in advance?”
to continue reading the exciting content!
“I used to be a Spirit Envoy, so I know how tough it is.”
“It’s truly rare to find a junior brother who is so young yet so responsible!”
The others exchanged and discussed amongst themselves.
Although they were completely unfamiliar with Xu Changqing.
But I have to admit, I’ve heard this name many times.
His most famous feat was preventing a disaster and thwarting Ronglong’s plot.
Xu Changqing remained silent, mainly because he didn’t know what to say.
Everyone in front of me is a stranger.
Apart from Si Geng, I am not familiar with any of them.
Seeing that things were about right, Mu Ji chuckled and said, “Let’s begin the apprenticeship process.”
Just as Xu Changqing was about to kneel down, he was stopped.
Mu Ji shook his head and said, “Kowtowing is to show respect to people, while bowing is to show respect to the Way.”
The disciples I seek should first and foremost revere the spiritual field beneath their feet, the life force of the wood veins, not this aged body of mine.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing immediately bowed, cupped his hands, and made a gesture of respect towards the spirit field three times in a row.
At the same time, Senior Sister Bei Qingtang said loudly, “First, let us pay homage to the spiritual fields nourished by heaven and earth.”
Secondly, respect the way plants and trees live and thrive.
Respect for the teacher’s lineage.
Then, Xu Changqing turned around and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed to Mu Ji in front of him and said loudly, “Disciple Xu Changqing greets Master!”
It begins with respecting the Tao.
The ceremony ends with a respectful greeting.
Mu Ji showed a look of satisfaction, quickly stepped forward to help Xu Changqing up, and then said with a kind face, “Good disciple, from now on you are my sixth disciple!”
