Chapter Nine, All Things Are Born
They have also heard about Xu Xindie's matter
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed
Xu Zongyi knew that he could not share any burdens with her, but he could do his best to improve her mood.
At this stage, Xu Duande has already reached the level of infusing energy into his blood, achieving a strength of 500 pounds
The wash marrow grass that has been planted is now fully grown, with each blade of grass being crystal clear and radiating a purple light, all of which are of the purple variety
He is very eager to throw the ancient seeds into that pool to see if there will be any changes, but the water inside is too precious, and he does not dare to act recklessly. If he were to be expelled from the Sutra Repository, it would be a loss that is not worth the gain
Just like he needs to wipe the books and cabinets every day, and clean the environment, it requires sufficient patience. This is the test that the Sutra Repository imposes on him, akin to cultivation. The path is obstructed and long, and one must not be impatient; haste makes waste.
The myriad things of heaven and earth, the way of breathing, the guiding energy, the entering of the master into the body
According to the records, the Chaotic War Phoenix Clan is formidable, being stronger than the human race from the moment of their birth
While Xu Zongyi was reading, the pores on his body breathed autonomously, causing a tingling sensation; however, he was so engrossed in "The Birth of All Things" that he hardly felt anything
Men and women, interacting with each other
Comparing Rizayuan and Chunshengyuan is like comparing heaven and earth
"Alright, this is what you all said." Xu Zongyi handed the wrapped emotional rose and the cleansing herb to Xiao E, saying: "Please take good care of this, it is a gift for Miss Xindie."
Sixty pounds of Zhipin Qiangshen rice per month is simply insufficient for personal consumption. According to Xu Zongyi's estimation, I can now consume at least five pounds of Zhipin Qiangshen rice in a single meal.
"Nirvana bloodline? The power of regeneration, is it from the Phoenix clan?" Xu Zongyi quickly understood
"Joke, dealing with you, a single Xiao De is enough, you are not even worthy of us taking action!" Xu Tianzhe scoffed, having already reached the realm of Qi entering the bones. Coupled with his extraordinary physique, he now possessed a strength exceeding three thousand. The power of a single snap of his fingers might be something Xu Zongyi could hardly withstand
The Spring Life Institute has conducted extensive research on the vegetation nurtured by the heavens and the earth, and is proficient in the pharmacology of medicine and poisons
It truly is a narrow road for enemies; today I will break both of your legs. Xu Duande's expression was ferocious, seeking to avenge the grudge from that punch on that day
In addition to two pots of love roses, there are also four hundred stalks of purple cleansing grass, as well as the "Rongshui Grand Ceremony" promised on that day. However, since I have not yet entered the Qi Induction Realm, the materials I possess are very scarce. In the short term, "All Things Live" is already sufficient for my study.
The square ceramic jar has made significant contributions. He quickly harvested the results and brought them into the house, totaling eight hundred plants. Subsequently, a harvest is to be conducted every month.
In recent days, Xu Xindie has occasionally visited the Sutra Repository to seek out books regarding the Chaotic War Phoenix Clan for her study.
Upon hearing this, Xu Changping felt a sudden realization; it seemed that from the moment he was born, Xu Chengyun had already intended to take him as his disciple
However, Xu Xindie was engrossed in her cultivation and had no time to pay attention to them
The flower buds, tinged with purple, exude an enchanting grace. Xu Zongyi, feeling satisfied and joyful, said: "First, send them to Sister Xiao'e and Miss Xindie; it should be able to lift their spirits a bit"
At this moment, the night has deepened
Moments later, at the back of the Sutra Repository, Xu Changping bowed to the elder beside him and said, somewhat unconvinced: "Master, you are quite biased. I have been doing miscellaneous tasks in the Sutra Repository for five years, and only now have you allowed me to cultivate."
Xu Zongyi would always share some pastries with his senior brother Xu Changping
Xiao E will also bring some delicious pastries to Xu Zongyi
It is distinctly felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundantly gathered in the area where the washing marrow grass is planted, which is beneficial for its growth
She lives alone in a small courtyard
Xu Zongyi hurriedly went outside and continuously drew water from the well, aiming to thoroughly irrigate that piece of land, as the subsequent Ziping Xisui grass required a substantial amount of nutrients
"What about this pottery? What is its purpose? I feel that if we fill it with water and drink it, it can help eliminate impurities from the body." Xu Zongyi quickly replied, "It seems that planting vegetation also has remarkable effects!"
Exotic flowers compete in beauty, ancient trees twist their roots, and many of these are extremely rare varieties that should not be touched, only admired from a distance
Its rhizome is verdant, resembling jade, clear and translucent
Generally, grassroots cannot possibly take root so deeply, so he immediately understood that the reason there had been no sprouting for such a long time was that it was establishing its roots
Xu Tianzhe and Xu Tianmu were both in a rather poor mood. Observing Xu Zongyi, who had yet to enter the Qi Gathering Realm, they chose not to intervene, allowing Xu Duande to take the lead.
This seed is very special, but in order for it to germinate, it needs to be kept for a long time in the presence of someone with the bloodline of Nirvana in order to grow. Xu Chengyun felt a subtle sensation as he touched the ancient seed
Purple-grade washing marrow grass, rooted three zhang, with purple buds emerging
He graciously accepted, after all, the food specially prepared for Miss Xindie would naturally not be ordinary food
This is indeed a magical artifact that many people desire but cannot obtain. As long as water is channeled into it, over time, the quality of the water can be enhanced. The longer the time, the higher the quality of the water. However, some water qualities have their limits, and once these limits are reached, no further enhancement can occur. Yet, this object holds even more secrets, and you must become stronger to unlock them! Xu Chengyun clearly has some understanding of this item, but not everyone can acquire it. Since ancient times, those who have been able to obtain this ceramic jar are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Even Xu Chengyun's knowledge about it is limited.
In the practice of cultivation, there are significant requirements regarding the quantity of grain
Xu Zongyi repeats the same few tasks every day
I see! Xu Zongyi suddenly understood, paused for a moment, and then spoke: "Mysterious Grandpa, I want to cultivate. Can you teach me how to cultivate?"
The Qinger flower grows relatively slowly, and it is only during the harvest of the washing marrow grass that it barely produces purple flower buds
Xu Zongyi naturally did not know that the mysterious grandfather was Xu Chengyun
A seed and a ceramic jar. Xu Zongyi did not hide anything at all, taking everything out. The records related to the trials of the Earth Hall were also seen in the book given to him by the old man
It is none other than Xu Tianzhe and Xu Tianmu
At present, one naturally wishes to offer her some suggestions
Good. Xu Zongyi took it, feeling excited, with his eyes filled with longing
Here, like a fairyland, the air is filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers
At that moment, Xu Duande, standing beside Xu Tianzhe, saw him puff up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger, exuding a murderous aura, with his entire body surging with energy and blood.
He simply does not understand that according to the records in the "Rongshui Grand Canon," the Xisui grass will sprout after seven days. Now, ten days have passed, yet there has been no sign of activity at all
This clan has a long lifespan and a rich heritage, existing since ancient times. If it were not for the agricultural expertise of the Xu family, it would be difficult to have any connection with them.
Yet he still uses square clay pots to hold water for irrigation, patiently waiting. For the Xu family of farmers, cultivation requires absolute patience
When he read to the hour of the rat, he closed "The Book of All Things"
In recent days, he has also discovered a problem: he has not yet begun his cultivation, but his appetite has significantly increased
Upon witnessing this scene, his heart convulsed violently, and he hurried back into the house, flipping open the "Rongshui Grand Compendium" along with some ordinary records of flora and fauna to conduct a thorough verification
It seems that holding the ancient seed while reading every day consumes a significant amount of energy, and in addition, my strength has also increased considerably
At that moment, Xu Zongyi strolled over with his belongings, walking leisurely and in a very good mood
Not bad, or perhaps using exceptionally pure phoenix blood. Xu Chengyun smiled slightly: However, if it is someone with a Nirvana bloodline, carrying it with them day and night, with their vital energies merging, it would be even better
"Mysterious Grandpa, you have finally appeared." Xu Zongyi felt a surge of excitement in his heart, as the elderly man before him was the one who had taught him to read and write, yet he had always been elusive.
The buds exhibit a purplish hue
"What kind of transformation did you achieve during your trial? Could you show me?" Xu Chengyun's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of a smile
He did not rush to cultivate, but first filled the four square clay pots with water, allowing it to undergo transformation. Then he returned to the room, holding the ancient seed, and quietly watched "The Birth of All Things"
He discovered that his entire body was covered in black dirt, which was sticky and quite disgusting. This was all due to the impurities from the layers of his skin, and this time the amount was significantly greater than usual
"No matter what, one must give their all in dealing with it." Xu Zongyi held the crumpled seed in his hand, looking at the clear pond every day with the gaze of an old lover.
Xu Xindie has a special identity and is a standout among her peers in the Chunsheng Academy
Therefore, going to Chunsheng Academy to find Xu Xindie also has a purpose, which is to exchange for provisions. With provisions in hand, one can remain calm. Only with sufficient food can one engage in cultivation
However, there is not enough rice, and he can only keep drinking water. Fortunately, the square clay pot is unusual, and drinking water can also satisfy his thirst. Nevertheless, it is not rice, and over time, it will affect his own cultivation.
"The Way of All Things" discusses the myriad beings of heaven and earth, the principles of breathing and the methods of guiding qi, teaching individuals how to perceive and connect with the qi between heaven and earth
Xu Zongyi looked at them, raising an eyebrow: "Do you intend to take advantage of your numbers?"
The two young masters and Miss Xindie have been in seclusion for cultivation these days and are not receiving guests. Xiao'e bowed respectfully.
After taking a shower, he went to sleep, feeling somewhat fatigued in spirit, yet his heart was very fulfilled, sensing that his strength seemed to have undergone a change
On the eighteenth day, as he returned to his room, he suddenly discovered that the cleansing herb had sprouted
In recent days, Xu Xindie has been contemplating day and night to avoid marrying into the Chaotic War Phoenix clan, diligently practicing her skills and seeking out all relevant books that could help her defeat the Chaotic War Phoenix clan
In front of the small courtyard gate, a variety of flowers and plants are cultivated, with Xiao'e leading her former maidservants in their care.
Chunsheng Courtyard, located in the eastern courtyard of the Xu family of farmers, is not far from the Sutra Repository.
On this day, Xu Zongyi completed his tasks at hand and set off for Chunsheng Courtyard with his belongings
Until he had completed all of this, an old man dressed in a black cloak appeared, and it was Xu Chengyun
This young man has been thrown into the Japanese-style courtyard for seven years, and only after passing the third level of the Earth Hall trial did I allow him to cultivate. Xu Chengyun chuckled and said: Your senior brother is traveling outside, and your junior brother has just begun his cultivation; you should guide him more in the future.
Xu Zongyi felt as if he had obtained a treasure, as he could finally begin his cultivation: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
The realm of inhalation is the foundation of all things; this book "The Birth of All Things" is to be thoroughly contemplated. Xu Chengyun left behind only this scripture before vanishing before Xu Zongyi.
Originally, I was fundamentally unqualified to cultivate, as I lacked the support of rice grains. Cultivation is highly depleting of vital energy and blood. Now, with the purple-grade strengthening rice, the situation is entirely different. Moreover, even the water transformed by this square ceramic jar can enhance my vital energy and blood.
"Zong Yi, you must be careful." Xiao E was very worried, as Xu Duande had made a breakthrough in strength this time and came prepared, so one must not be careless
Xu Tianzhe and Xu Tianmu both had a rather poor complexion; indeed, they were limited in their abilities regarding this matter
Xu Zongyi suddenly felt a great distance; where could he find the bloodline of Nirvana? Pure phoenix blood, which might be worth a fortune, was something he could never afford. This was a dilemma, yet he was also very much looking forward to what this ancient variety could yield
Only the methods of the Xu family from the farming community can preserve their ancestral phoenix tree
Several men came to seek an audience with Xu Xindie, but they were turned away.
Occasionally, Xu Changping would also offer some guidance to Xu Zongyi, suggesting that he plant a plot of cleansing grass and arrange a small spiritual energy formation that could operate in a self-sustaining manner, which made Xu Zongyi very happy
"Cultivation can only rely on oneself. I will give you a scripture; you must comprehend it on your own." Xu Chengyun, dressed in a black cloak, had been unknown to Xu Zongyi all these years, and immediately handed him a scroll of scripture.
