The peasant Xu family and the Primal Chaos Wars Phoenix family had a history. From then on, they laid the foundation of the two clans.
He had also seen the records regarding the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan and was friendly with the village's Xu family for generations.
In the past, the Xu ancestors of the village had saved the family's ancestral wutong tree, and they shared a mutual love.
Later on, in order to maintain their relationship with the Xu family, they would be betrothed for a period of time. This action was naturally to ensure the survival of the ancestor Wutong Tree!
This clan was extremely terrifying, and the people within were all exceptionally strong, far beyond what Xu Zongyi could handle. Seeing his expression, Little E looked at him and sighed softly, ”Miss Xindie will handle this matter herself, so don't think too much about it. The Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan is too terrifying, we will only be able to look up to them for the rest of our lives.”
”When are they coming?” Xu Zongyi noncommittally asked.
”I don't know about the details, but it should be spring soon, or winter this year. I don't know when, but it is said that Miss Xindie and her parents are quarreling a lot, but her status can only be sacrificed for the family.” Xiao E was also very worried for her, and her expression was somewhat dejected.
Xu Zongyi tightly gripped the bag of seeds as his knuckles turned green. His good mood had been completely swept away, and even more of it was heavy and powerless.
Xu Xindie treated him sincerely and did not treat him as a servant. She took care of him a lot, so no matter what, he would do his best to help her.
However, with his current strength, he couldn't be of much help to her. There wasn't much time left for him.
In the past, every year during harvest time, the Xu family would turn on their hidden restrictions.
There were many companies from the outside world that could find their way here. They would use some of the goods the Xu family needed to exchange for food.
Now that wars were taking place outside the Taihang Mountains, the price of grains and rice naturally rose along with the war.
It was not easy to find the Xu family in Taihang Mountains. For so many years, there had not been many businessmen who had been able to maintain their cooperation.
If the caravan's accumulation was not deep enough, offending some of the major forces could bring about a devastating blow to the caravan.
Many caravans were guarded by some experts, but there were too many people on the way who wanted to rob the caravan.
One had to know that they had wealth on them, especially in this chaotic era. The outside world was even more chaotic than the peace within Taihang Mountains.
In addition, there were also nobles from all over the Great Zhou Empire. They would also send their family's elite caravan over, and their help would be much more extravagant than those merchants.
Thus, before the autumnal equinox, he had to properly accumulate all of it.
Cultivating requires wealth. Most of the things that have been planted here today, he wants to save them until the harvest time in order to directly exchange them for what he wants.
He could only keep Xu Xindie's matter in his heart. Otherwise, if he acted recklessly in front of her, it would only increase her worries and only when she was strong would he be able to help her.
”Sister Xiao E, these few days, you have to focus on your cultivation and accompany Miss Xin Die. You don't have to worry about other things!” Xu Zongyi instructed.
”I don't care, but you little brat, don't mess around, there are a lot of young masters and young misses who came to the Scripture Hall to inherit the blood, you have to put up with things, understand?” We will always be servants without any background. Not everyone will be like Miss Xin Die. ” Xiao E spoke sincerely. Although Xu Zongyi had the ability to enter the Scripture Hall now, these villagers, the descendants of the Xu bloodline, were not to be trifled with. With her status, she could clearly recognize this point.
A small matter might not appear to the people behind them, but if it was something related to life and death, then it might not be possible.
”I know, I know, I will remember Sister Xiao E's teachings!” Xu Zongyi hurriedly smiled apologetically, not wanting to worry her.
”Hurry up and get busy, I'll look around.” Xiao'e didn't want Xu Zongyi to get scolded because of her. She also didn't know if she was doing well in the Scripture Hall, so it wouldn't be good for her to ask about it in detail here.
”Alright!” No matter what, Little E was living a good life now. If Xu Xindie really did marry into the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan, according to the rules, Little E would also become a maid. When that time came, they would both be part of the same family, and he would naturally not be willing to do so.
There was a powerful magical formation in the Scripture Hall, so if one wanted to open a book, they would have to pay a corresponding price. Everyone's points would be automatically deducted from the grain storage order, and the amount of points that would be deducted if they wanted to take the book out of the Scripture Hall.
He knew that he could not be compared with these young masters and mistresses of the direct bloodline. If he was able to fill his stomach and save up enough money to prepare for his next cultivation, he would be satisfied.
As for exchanging the points for some powerful scripture cultivation, it was simply too extravagant. He didn't even dare to think about it; he didn't even have a grain storage order.
Wiping the bookshelves, wiping the scrolls, arranging the books into categories, these were all things that Xu Zongyi had to do every day.
Today, Xu Xindie had lent Xu Zongyi a bunch of seeds.
He had used the method of the ”Water Melting Rite” half a month ago to raise the land and make it abnormally fertile, and it had finally come in handy today.
He buried the seeds of the Essence Purification Grass, each one about a finger's length away.
Xu Zongyi felt that since the outside world was currently fighting, they might not be too popular.
Therefore, he didn't plan to waste time on it. He took out two pottery pots from his bamboo house, and put in the soil after soaking it in a four-sided jar. He also put in the seeds of the Love Rose and planned to give them to Xiao E and Xu Xindie.
He had only heard that it was extremely difficult to grow a Love Rose Flower and that it was quite difficult for a child of the same age as Xu Zongyi.
Xu Zongyi calculated that there were roughly eight hundred or so of them, and they were very small. This was because the Essence Purification Grass was a Qi Drawing Realm plant. Most of them would succeed, but the hardest thing was to grow a high quality one.
It was very difficult to plant and he didn't dare to waste even a little bit of it. He only dared to test it out, as it was one of the hardest seeds to plant in the Condensing Reality Realm.
In the end, he planted a seed that Xu Changping had given him at the side as well. Based on the growth of this seed, he decided that Xu Zongyi could use it to read books in the Scripture Hall.
After finishing everything, he returned to his room and opened the Water Melting Ceremony. Water could improve the quality of the soil, but it needed other supplementary materials. Xu Zongyi currently had nothing, so all he could do was mix the firewood ash, water, and charcoal together before watering them.
Different people would grow the same seed with different effects.
