My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 489

Chapter 488 A Night-Blooming Flower on the Road!

Soon, the gold miners followed Lin An to Dongqing City.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on the final result.

All Xu Changqing could do was wait patiently within the Immortal Sect.

During this time, he specifically inquired about the various spiritual artifacts, talismans, and pills needed for Old Zhao to break through to the Earth-grade Golden Core stage with a Water Spirit Root.

The number of discoveries is very large, and the variety is also very large.

The advantages of having a single spiritual root are fully demonstrated at this moment.

As everyone knows, the more spiritual roots one has, the more turbid lightning one will encounter.

A single spiritual root only has one path.

Of course, if you want to break through to the Earth-grade Golden Core, you need to absorb the core parts of monsters of the five attributes. This is going against the heavens and will increase the power of the turbid lightning.

It’s equivalent to a single spiritual root enduring the thunderous power of a dual spiritual root. Without thorough preparation, there’s a high probability of failure, ultimately resulting in a mere Golden Core cultivator.

Look at Qiu Feng, the former little genius.

Everyone thought he would be able to break through to the Earth-grade Golden Core stage.

But what was the result?

It failed!

Even he himself could not withstand such a blow, which led to demonic energy entering his body and giving rise to inner demons.

This shows that even the most talented, gifted, and exceptionally perceptive person can still fail, so caution is advised.

Old Zhao has collected all five types of monster core parts.

Therefore, Xu Changqing pays more attention to magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs.

Currently, there are five main types of spiritual artifacts that are best for water-elemental cultivators to overcome tribulations.

They are: Mystic Water Spirit Shield, Azure Water Sleeves, Gilded Heart-Protecting Mirror, Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Pendant, and Thunder-Patterned Lightning-Avoiding Bead.

These results have been obtained through repeated trials and verifications, so there is absolutely no problem.

However, because it belongs to the mainstream tribulation-crossing spiritual artifacts, it is very expensive.

Normally, a spirit weapon costs around several hundred spirit stones, and the higher the quality, the more expensive it is. However, these few items, regardless of their quality, are all over a thousand.

As for talismans, the price of a single one may not be high, but the price of a set is ridiculously expensive.

For example, the Water Spirit Root Tribulation Crossing Talisman Set promoted by Yushui Pavilion consists of Water Curtain Defense Talisman, Spirit Purification Talisman, Body Fixation and Lightning Control Talisman, Meridian Protection and Yuan Strengthening Talisman, and Spirit Gathering and Qi Attraction Talisman.

In total, there are more than fifty.

Whether we can use it all or not, that’s all they’re selling.

A set of mid-grade spirit stones for 600, would you buy it?

As for elixirs, there are even more varieties and quantities. Any elixir related to tribulation or lightning protection can cost hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones.

Do you want to undergo tribulation?

Do you want the Golden Elixir?

Buy it if you want it!

Xu Changqing couldn’t help but sigh, “No wonder many cultivators go bankrupt after undergoing a tribulation. Even disciples of immortal sects are like this. You can imagine how difficult it is for independent cultivators.”

Of course, if you take a step back or several steps back, you will have more choices of magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs, and the prices will also decrease.

However, the effect is definitely not as good as the mainstream ones.

Xu Changqing’s thoughts on Lao Hu, Lao Zhao, or those around him were very simple.

We will help if we can, but whether they succeed or not ultimately depends on them.

Ultimately, everyone except Xu Changqing had their fate sealed from the moment they were born.

Some people don’t survive past the Foundation Establishment stage.

Some people can only reach the Golden Core stage at most.

Some people disappeared halfway through the journey.

Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Li Sancai, Li Lingbi, Sister Yu, Xiao Linglong, and others are all just fleeting moments on Xu Changqing’s lonely path, and they will disappear from his sight sooner or later.

All he could do was keep these people around for a little longer, so they could stay with him a little longer.

But in the end, he was still alone.

…

…

A few days later, Xu Changqing called Lao Hu and Lao Zhao over.

I specially prepared a large table of food.

Five Elements Spiritual Vegetable Soup

Yin Yang Soup

Braised Chicken with King Mushrooms

Steamed Fish from Lingquan Spring

Braised Pork Belly with Fermented Rice Wine

And so on, adding up to more than ten kinds.

As for the rice, it’s still the finest Lingmi rice; that hasn’t changed at all.

There are two kinds of wine: one is Lingmi wine, and the other is Huangmi wine.

Hu Bugui rubbed his hands together excitedly: “Old Xu, I really want to try this.”

Zhao Ziyue nodded slightly and agreed, “It’s been a long time since the three of us have gotten together.”

Xu Changqing gestured for the two to sit down, then poured each of them a cup of spirit rice wine, and said with a smile, “That’s what I was thinking too. I just happened to have some free time, so I invited you all here.”

“My business in Spirit Beast Valley has been doing well lately; I’ve bought more land!”

“I’ll stay the same as always, just find a random spot to fish.”

“Speaking of which, you’re considered core disciples, yet you can’t go to the Immortal Peak?”

“Don’t even mention it, our master is just an oddball among oddballs…”

“Hahaha!”

The three of them ate and drank together.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Xu Changqing winked at Hu Bugui, then asked Lao Zhao, “Judging from your recent behavior, has something happened?”

Hu Bugui followed closely behind: “Yeah, Lao Zhao, you seem downcast and not very happy.”

Seeing how concerned the two were about him, Zhao Ziyue had no choice but to tell the truth: “My father has passed away.”

Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui exchanged a glance: “To be honest, we don’t seem to know anything about your background or origins.”

Zhao Ziyue drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and said with a half-smile, “I was born in Fengrao County of the Great Yue Dynasty, and my courtesy name is Jingxing.”

My great-grandfather was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) and rose to the position of compiler in the

My grandfather set up a private school and taught students, and many of his students became successful candidates in the imperial examinations.

My father once served as an official in the Fengrao County School; although he never entered officialdom, he enjoyed considerable prestige in local literary circles.

This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!

Therefore, he was given high hopes by his family from a young age.

He began his formal education at the age of four and a half, learning characters as easily as accumulating grains of millet, and reciting texts as effortlessly as eating.

At the age of 6, he was already proficient in reciting the Thousand Character Classic from memory.

At the age of 7, he was sent to his grandfather’s Jingxing Academy.

He took the children’s examination at the age of 14.

He took the provincial examination at the age of 20.

And then… I failed the exam.

Hu Bugui exclaimed in surprise: “So, Old Zhao, you only started cultivating immortality after you turned twenty?”

Zhao Ziyue nodded slightly and continued, “After failing the exam, my father ordered me to continue participating, and to work even harder and with even more dedication.”

I’m really tired of this routine: getting up at dawn to memorize texts, reading aloud at dawn, practicing calligraphy at dusk, listening to lectures at sullen hour, and reviewing at dusk.

Xu Changqing blinked: “You’re not going to run away, are you?”

Zhao Ziyue chuckled and said, “That’s right. After a big fight with my father, I ran away in the middle of the night, wandered around for a while, and finally joined the Dongting Immortal Sect, becoming a water-elemental cultivator.”

Hu Bugui asked curiously, “How many years has it been since you went back?”

Zhao Ziyue took a deep breath: “I was just twenty-one years old that year, and I’m just thirty-nine now.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui both widened their eyes.

That is to say, Lao Zhao ran away for eighteen years.

For a moment, all three fell silent, and no one spoke.

I can still empathize with this feeling and experience.

After a long while, Zhao Ziyue asked, his voice slightly choked with emotion, “Do you think I should go back and take a look?”

Hu Bugui opened his mouth: “This…that…oh dear, I don’t know how to say it, Lao Xu, you say it.”

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, “Go back if you want, or we brothers can go back with you.”

Both the Dongting Immortal Sect and the Great Yue Dynasty are located in the Eastern Region.

Although the exact location of Fengrao County is unknown, it is not too far.

For cultivators, it won’t be long before they arrive.

It might only take a day for the whole trip.

Zhao Ziyue shook his head and said, “I should handle my own affairs.”

I went back to take a look before I reached the Golden Core stage, and after that…

Although he didn’t finish speaking, everyone understood what he meant.

From that time on, immortals and mortals were separated.

This is a process that many cultivators have to go through.

Human lifespan is too short, ranging from a few decades to over a hundred years.

However, if Zhao Ziyue breaks through to the Earth-grade Golden Core, he can live for at least five hundred years.

Family ties and blood relations will eventually be forgotten as time goes by.

The three of them then drank and chatted for a while longer.

After they became somewhat drunk, Xu Changqing arranged for the two to stay in a guest room.

It was already very late, and the only sounds in the entire Red Maple Valley were faint chirping insects.

After confirming that one of the two was cultivating and the other was resting, Xu Changqing flashed into his personal space.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they saw the location of the small teleportation array, which was on the earthen platform, where a semi-transparent, earthen-yellow light screen had appeared.

Inside, one could vaguely make out blurry human figures.

If nothing unexpected happens, the gold miners have already found Cangyan Peak and even arranged all the earth element crystals and spirit stones.

Next, all you have to do is go through and confirm; it’s quite convenient and simple.

Suddenly, little Linglong peeked out furtively, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, “Daddy, what is that thing?”

Xu Changqing said without turning his head, “One exit.”

Little Linglong asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, “Exit?”

Xu Changqing pointed to the location of the teleportation array: “You can get out through it.”

Little Linglong understood this time and asked excitedly, “Then can I see my mother?”

Xu Changqing gave an awkward smile: “Well, the outside world is vast, and your mother won’t be able to see it for a while.”

Little Linglong wasn’t sad at all; instead, she was eager to try: “When can I go out?”

She has always felt curious and longing for the outside world.

But Father wouldn’t allow it, saying it was too dangerous outside.

There are even monsters that specifically eat children, which is terrifying.

Xu Changqing thought about it carefully: “Let’s wait until you’re a bit older.”

At that moment, he actually thought of Old Zhao.

If you keep restricting her, it will only make Linglong more rebellious.

To put it bluntly, suppressing emotions for too long will inevitably lead to a rebellious mentality.

Sooner or later, she will grow up, leave this place, and even leave me.

Why not start with Cangyan Peak and explore and understand it step by step?

Little Linglong grinned and said, “Okay!”

Xu Changqing waved his hand and urged, “It’s so late, you should go and rest. I need to check this exit to prevent any monsters from breaking in and eating you.”

Upon hearing the word “monster,” Xiao Linglong, like a frightened deer, immediately covered her mouth with both hands and ran away.

He quickly entered the Water Spirit Palace, even closing the door behind him, then burrowed into the thick bedding, leaving only his eyes exposed. He stared intently at the doorway, fearing that a monster might break in and devour him.

Xu Changqing, watching this unfold, couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “The day you actually encounter a monster, it’ll be them running away!”
