In the next few days, after Xu Zongyi finished his daily chores in the Scripture Hall, he would return to the backyard and practice each move, repeating them over and over. All of his movements were being practiced at the same time.

It was very boring, but every time, he would be very serious and very focused.

Just like when he was cutting firewood in the day courtyard, many people were complaining incessantly. However, he would always focus on chopping firewood, feeling his own strength, and how to use his own strength to chop firewood with the least strength and the fastest speed.

For those of you who have grown up in a good environment, it may be difficult to endure this boring form of training.

However, to Xu Zongyi, this was a joyous occasion.

Each time, he could feel his strength increasing.

He increased the amount of bone strengthening rice he consumed and combined it with the Purple-rank Body Strengthening Rice.

Ever since he started cultivating the martial art, his appetite had increased by more than twofold, and he had consumed a lot of energy.

The Stable Martial Arts was an extraordinary technique. While Xu Zongyi trained painstakingly, he could also strengthen his bones.

One had to know that he was imitating the Black Tortoise's Breath Technique.

Black Turtle was known as an absolute defense with extremely high resistance.

Xu Zongyi could clearly feel that his bones were becoming increasingly sturdy under this method of tempering with his breath. In fact, even lines similar to tortoise shell appeared on his bones.

[Life in All Things] was a breathing technique that allowed him to use all things in the world to cultivate.

This level of training lasted all the way until the eve of the autumnal equinox.

In the past two months, Xu Zongyi had eaten a total of three hundred kilograms of Mighty Bone Rice. Every day, he would consume an average of five hundred kilograms.

Right now, all of the rice he had on him was gone. He was basically eating nothing but bone strengthening rice.

The 60 jin of Purple grade Body Strengthening Rice that the Scripture Hall gave him didn't even need a few days.

After two months of cultivation, Xu Zongyi had reached the peak that could cause his bones to sink.

At the moment, he was confident that even if he met Xu Tianyi, he wouldn't take a step back.

Xu Zongyi watered the Heart Nourishing Grass every twenty days, even dripping his own blood essence.

Now, before the Autumn Equinox, all of them had stepped into the realm of Purple Spirit Gathering Grass and had even harvested them into the third season. Now, he had three thousand stalks of Spirit Gathering Grass on his body.

Spirit Gathering Grass was different from Marrow Washing Grass. It would take a bit longer.

From the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice, about forty days had passed.

The next ten days were spent harvesting the grass once every ten days, because the roots of the grass were very deep and could be harvested before the outsiders left.

After he finished harvesting the third season's grass, he began to transplant the purple beauties.

This was because the purple demoness was very delicate. If it wasn't for the fact that the original soil was so easily withered and withered, it would have disappeared.

Therefore, Xu Zongyi was going to dig up the soil that was rooted in and place it in the middle of a pottery pot.

Of course, its price was also the most expensive, even higher than the Spirit Gathering Grass.

The grass is different from the flower.

If not for Xu Zongyi's strong water transformation ability, he would have to spend more energy every day to protect these plum blossoms.

Due to the water quality of the terrine, he could water it every few days for it to match the water in the well. A large portion of Little Charmer's excrement was used as nourishment and wood ash was used to nurture these purple demonesses.

When Xu Zongyi had finished his day and was already ugly, he immediately went to rest and rest.

Tomorrow was the autumnal equinox, and large foreign powers would arrive one after another. He wanted to see how much his hard work would sell for, and what he could trade for.

Currently, there were still nine hundred pounds of Bone Strengthening Rice. However, with the breakthrough of his own strength, his daily consumption of Bone Strengthening Rice would increase by about ten pounds. Once he stepped into the Qi level of his whole body, it would be even more.

Therefore, he had to prepare some food in advance so that he could survive the winter, or buy some food that he needed.

The Xu family had been living in the mountains for a long time, isolated from the outside world all year round.

Even if there were a few people who would come out to train, they would still remain in Taihang Mountains for the rest of their lives.

In order to exchange for high-quality food from the Xu family, all the major powers would trade for some good stuff, or some rare stuff. Whether or not they could get something good out of it all depended on their own ability of discernment.

Xu Zongyi had heard many things about foreign powers before, so he yearned for them in his heart. In the past, he had never had the chance to come into contact with them in the day courtyard. Now that he could, he naturally wanted to see the world for himself.

Every day, Little Charmer would sleep by Xu Zongyi's side.

After sleeping for two hours, he immediately woke up in high spirits.

It was much better than standing vigil in Heartrest Valley.

At that time, the berserk beasts continuously attacked him. Sometimes, they didn't even have time to sleep, so it wasn't much.

He simply washed himself and changed into a set of clean clothes before entering the Scripture Hall.

Slowly, he wiped away a portion of the books, the bookcase.

Since his arrival, many bookshelves that were normally deserted had been wiped clean.

Many of the farmer-disciples were still more inclined towards higher-leveled disciples. The predecessors had already walked a path, this way, they could at least guarantee that they wouldn't face too great of a risk.

On the other hand, when Xu Zongyi wiped himself, he would also learn a bit.

This was especially true for some of the Desolate level and Hong level books. Usually, no one would ask about them.

Only those who had just obtained grain storage points and did not dare to ask for books of high rank would come to these areas.

Once Xu Zongyi did this, it was already noon.

Returning to the bamboo house, he lit a fire and cooked. After eating his fill, Xu Changping came over and said, "Today, there are few guests coming to the Scripture Hall. Before winter begins, once you are free to move about."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Hearing this, Xu Zongyi was extremely excited.

"Also, Master said that he will see you when you step into the realm of qi flow through your entire body." Xu Changping had a warm smile on his face as he watched this Junior Brother grow up very quickly. He was looking forward to it more and more.

They had been in the Scripture Hall for quite some time.

Although Xu Zongyi wanted to see the guardian very much, he had never had a chance.

Hearing Xu Changping's words made his blood boil.

If he could become the personal disciple of the Guardian, then he would have a chance to save his mother.

"That would be great." Xu Zongyi was extremely excited. This was something that he had always dreamed of.

"Have you finished eating?" Xu Changping asked with his hands behind his back.

"Yes." Xu Zongyi nodded his head repeatedly.

"Then clean up. Senior, take me to see for you. This year's autumnal equinox has brought us to the great powers of the Xu family. All of them have quite a bit of background, so we can help you get familiar with each other first." Xu Changping offered to take him out.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Xu Zongyi was so happy that he almost jumped up. He hid the little calamity inside his storage ring and quickly cleaned up the cooking pots. In less than half an incense stick of time, he had finished packing all of them.

Xu Changping took him on a leisurely stroll towards the main gate of the Xu family's farmhouse.

On this day, many people had gathered at the Heaven's Food Plaza. The first, second, and third elder of the Xu family were there.

They personally came to welcome him, while Xu Chong Mu stood guard in the Heavenly Heart Palace.

Xu Changping didn't bring Xu Zongyi along with him to squeeze through the gates of the Xu household. Instead, he sat atop a small building that overlooked the distance.

The main gate of the Xu family was a main road that was three hundred meters wide. The black slate had been here for countless years, and was ancient and unadorned.

Xu Changping had his hands behind his back. With a handsome face and an imposing demeanor, he calmly said, "Little Junior Brother, do you know anything about the Celestial Eclipse Square?"

"I know that the Heavenly Food Plaza is itself a grand formation." Xu Zongyi also had some knowledge about the layout of the village's Xu family.

"That's right, the stone tablets of the Celestial Food Square have a long history. Every stone tablet has an imprint magic formation underneath. Once activated, it can cause thousands of soldiers and horses to lose control of the spiritual energy of the world. They can only rely on the pure strength of their physical bodies." Xu Changping looked at the majestic sight, the Great Zhou Empire's army slowly advanced, "That's why they let their elites go in, and the plaza doesn't have many children from the village."

From the top to the bottom, Xu Zongyi could see that this area was three hundred meters wide and two hundred meters wide. Both sides belonged to the Heaven's Food Plaza, with one side being the left plaza and the other being the right plaza.

It was obvious that the Xu had made preparations in the recent days. They had already decided on the locations of the major powers in the Heavenly Food Plaza on both sides.

At the front of the army was a young man about Xu Changping's age, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He wore a helmet and was clad in golden armor. In his hand was a pair of round hammers with heavenly thunder battle patterns engraved on them. It was quite extraordinary, and below him was an extremely precious Dragon Seeker Horse.

This was a strange horse that could sense the Qi of Heaven and Earth, something that many wanted to possess.

In a place with a rich heaven and earth karmic luck, there was naturally a great fortune there. One could imagine just how useful the Dragon Hunting Mare was.

"The person in front is the fourth prince of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, Ji Yue." Xu Changping was clearly familiar with these people.

"Senior Brother, since you want me to recognize the person, are we going to have to prepare to enter society in the future?" Xu Zongyi smiled and said.

"Haha, as expected of our junior brother. The situation in the outside world is very chaotic right now. If the human race truly enters the darkest of times, then our village's Xu family will naturally be duty-bound. Although that day might not come, we have to make preparations first." Xu Changping smiled and said: "Currently, Eldest Martial Brother is out on his travels. He is also gathering information and understanding the situation in the outside world, as well as his various thoughts."

"Is eldest senior brother very strong?" Xu Zongyi was extremely curious about the Eldest Senior Brother that he had never met.

"Of course, you will know about it in the future." Xu Changping glanced at him. Speaking of his eldest senior brother, he was a fan of Xu Chen. He had watched Xu Chen's back grow up.

Therefore, ever since the incident with Xu Chen, he no longer wished to stay in the village with the Xu family.

Xu Zongyi didn't ask any further. He looked in front of him. There was a war chariot behind the fourth prince, Ji Yue.

It was made up of four strange beasts that resembled Dark Qilins. Their names were Ink Unicorn Horses.

The four hooves of each of the Ink Qilin Horses were as thick as a person's foot and incredibly powerful. Their vital energy and blood were like raging waves, and their battle prowess was extraordinary.

This war chariot itself was a powerful magic tool. A royal banner was placed on top of the war chariot, and the dragon patterns intertwined around it. There was a large word on it – Ji!
