"Is she the one who made it to the Qingyun Ranking? I heard that her ranking is very high, much higher than that of Master Lanzhi from the main peak."
"I heard that she started learning Taoism when she was eight years old, and she successfully established her foundation after only thirty years of cultivation. Now she has even reached the second level of foundation building. She is so strong!"
"You are out of date. Yesterday I heard several uncles talking about how Uncle Xu's cultivation has reached the third level of foundation building."
Seeing that more and more disciples were gathering around her and were about to surround her, Xu Chunniang suddenly remembered that a few years ago, she was surrounded by a group of fellow disciples at the outer gate, and she hurriedly fled to the second floor of Duobao Pavilion.
Watching Xu Chunniang's figure disappear on the stairs, the disciples showed regretful expressions.
However, one needs to have the foundation-building stage to enter the second floor of Duobao Pavilion, so they could only look on and stop.
After Xu Chunniang went up to the second floor, although she still received various looks from her fellow disciples, the situation was much better.
But at this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded, "Are you Xu Chunniang?"
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a male cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage with a white face, no beard, and a slightly feminine look in the corners of his eyes.
Cultivation level... She couldn't tell, but it was at least the middle stage of foundation building.
Xu Chunniang's principle has always been to reciprocate, and facing this strange male cultivator with a bad tone, she was too lazy to be polite.
"It's me, what can I do for you?"
The male cultivator chuckled, "Haha, it was rumored that you won eight rounds in the ring competition and entered the Qingyun Ranking, ranking 220th. Now it seems that you are not that great."
Hearing this, before Xu Chunniang could even open her mouth, her fellow disciples around her were all worried about her.
The Qingyun Ranking is mainly based on strength and potential, but it also includes cultivation and overall strength.
Xu Chunniang is only at the second level of foundation building, but her ranking is higher than Shangguan Xue who is at the fifth level of foundation building.
To some extent, it means that her strength is not weaker than Shangguan Xue.
"Brother Zhuge Yun has already reached the seventh level of foundation building, why is he making things difficult for Sister Xu who is in the early stage of foundation building?"
"Haven't you heard that Senior Sister Shangguan is only ranked 223rd on the Qingyun Ranking? Senior Sister Xu overshadowed her the first time she was on the list."
"Senior Sister Xu is ranked higher than Senior Sister Shangguan, but what does this have to do with Senior Brother Zhuge?"
"You just established your foundation not long ago, I wonder if Senior Brother Zhuge has always had feelings for Senior Sister Shangguan. This time he suddenly attacked Senior Sister Xu, he must be speaking up for her."
The discussions of the fellow disciples around also reached Xu Chunniang's ears.
Only then did she understand why the person in front of her was looking for trouble with her.
She looked at Zhuge Yun, "Do you think the ranking on the Qingyun List is wrong?"
Zhuge Yun nodded and then shook his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I just want to know why you are ranked higher than Junior Sister Xue'er. You are just a useless person with three spiritual roots, and you were lucky enough to enter the inner sect from the outer sect..."
"I see. Then why don't you go and ask the Tianji Pavilion yourself? Why are you blocking my way?"
Xu Chunniang glanced at Zhuge Yun and said, "Haven't you heard the saying that a good dog doesn't block the road?"
"you!!"
Zhuge Yun's face suddenly turned pale, and a folding fan emitting a cold light suddenly appeared in his hand. He looked at Xu Chunniang with gloomy eyes.
The folding fan rose and fell with his mood.
"Iron Sealing Fan! Senior Brother Zhuge, are you going to take action here?"
"Junior Sister Xu is only at the third level of foundation building. How can she defeat Senior Brother Zhuge who is already at the late stage of foundation building?"
Faced with the concerns of her fellow disciples, Xu Chunniang remained unafraid, and her gaze towards Zhuge Yun was as calm and cold as ever.
On the other hand, Zhuge Yun's expression changed constantly, and he put away the iron sealing fan.
"You want to provoke me, make me take the initiative to attack you and then be punished by the sect, but it's not that easy. And I don't want the news to spread that I bully others by relying on my cultivation. Because this will make Junior Sister Shangguan have a dirty opinion about me."
His expression returned to calm, and he glanced at Xu Chunniang coldly, "I will let you go for now, but remember to be smarter next time."
"Well, will you give way?"
Hearing Xu Chunniang's disrespectful words, Zhuge Yun almost got angry again.
He is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Does he think he is so great just because he is on the Qingyun list
If he has the chance, he will let her know what proper respect is.
He suppressed his displeasure with difficulty, snorted coldly and left.
Watching Zhuge Yun leave, the group of foundation-building disciples in Duobao Pavilion finally breathed a sigh of relief that the matter had not gotten out of hand.
Xu Chunniang didn't take this little episode to heart and entered a shop specializing in spiritual plants.
The person who was watching over the shop was a female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. When she saw Xu Chunniang come in, her eyes suddenly lit up and she came forward to greet her.
"It is a great honor for Senior Sister Xu to have you here. What would you like to buy?"
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy some spiritual grass seeds and plant them in the second-level spiritual field. They should be easier to grow and have a higher yield."
The female cultivator thought for a moment, "For the second-level spiritual field, evening primrose, apricot blossoms, and arhat leaves are all good. These spiritual plants do not have high requirements for the environment, and can be raised in the second-level lower-grade spiritual field."
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and realized that these three spiritual plants are not only widely used as medicine, but also have a short growth cycle.
Among them, evening primrose and apricot flower mature in two years, while arborvitae takes a little longer to mature, but only three years.
"Please tell me in detail what I need to pay attention to when cultivating these three spiritual plants."
The female cultivator said, "Evening primrose grows very fast under the moonlight, but when it is exposed to the sun during the day, it grows very slowly.
When the apricot flowers are about to mature, they are quite delicate and need to be carefully cared for. There is nothing special about the Luo Han leaves, but they are easy to attract some spiritual insects and require a slightly higher level of spiritual energy. "
Xu Chunniang wrote them down one by one, and after purchasing the seeds of these three spiritual plants, she also bought some high-quality second-level spiritual rice and various planting tools.
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
Thinking of the vast area of the small world, she gritted her teeth and spent a huge amount of money to buy a second-level lower-grade spiritual hoe.
After spending the only 10,000 or 20,000 spirit stones she had left, until only 4,000 or 5,000 were left, she left Duobao Pavilion and returned to her cave.
After returning, Xu Chunniang did not rush to enter the small world, but started to cultivate spiritual fields next to the yard.
Since it has been decided to plant spiritual fields and cultivate spiritual rice in the small world, in order to conceal the truth, it is necessary to open up some spiritual fields on the edge of the cave.
This way, when she took out a bunch of spiritual plants such as evening primrose in the future, she would have something to say.
The spiritual energy at the edge of the cave is relatively rich. With a little cultivation, a first-grade low-quality spiritual field can be opened.
But Xu Chunniang's goal does not stop there.
Level one spiritual fields are easy to come by, but the profits from planting level one spiritual creatures are too low.
If I rely on this to pay off the debt, I'm afraid it will take forever.
Cultivating a first-level spiritual field into a second-level spiritual field may be difficult for others, but for Xu Chunniang, who is proficient in spiritual soil techniques, it is not a difficult task.
