Nothing happened along the way and we returned safely to the outer courtyard.

After arriving at his residence, he summoned his servants Li Jun and his wife to ask about the recent situation of the green corn.

"Master, there is no problem with the cultivation of green corn. It matures in two months. We use ordinary spring water for irrigation. We use our mortal methods to remove insects and weeds from spiritual rice. It won't take long for them to come back, so the harvest is not ideal."

"Okay, I understand. I will rent another ten acres of spiritual farmland, and when this batch of green corn matures, I will switch to planting this golden corn. The method of planting it is similar to that of green corn, and there are no special requirements."

He took out the golden corn seeds purchased in the market from the storage bag and handed them to Li Jun.

"If you need watering or weed control in the future, please let me know in advance and I will personally handle it."

I didn’t understand the relevant techniques of spiritual farming before, and the growth of green corn was not very good. After learning about the cultivation of golden corn, I should have learned several techniques.

After making all the arrangements, Fang Xiao took out the green corn harvested this year and prepared to use this spiritual rice to try to brew spiritual wine.

According to the tradition of spirit wine makers, in addition to suitable spirit objects, brewing spirit wine also requires making spirit wine yeast. Different yeasts are suitable for brewing different spirit wines.

Fortunately, the wine maker still had some yeast left.

Then, they differentiated these distiller's yeasts, found out the distiller's yeast suitable for making wine with spiritual rice, and began to prepare.

Apart from these special things, the process of brewing spirit wine is almost the same as the brewing technology of Blue Star in the previous life.

After several days of trial and error, he actually succeeded in brewing some magical wine.

It's not over yet. Use an unused gourd to collect the spirit wine, and seal it with special techniques using spiritual power. It will be opened about ten days later, and the effect of the spirit wine will be fully stimulated.

During the next ten days, while practicing, he used the remaining spiritual rice to make spiritual wine.

At the same time, Fang Xiao's injuries had also improved greatly, but it was not suitable for a long fight. Fortunately, he usually fought quickly.

Now is the time to go to the External Affairs Hall to check out the situation. After all, the disciples who entered the sect a year ago have now reached the time to carry out their missions. If there are suitable missions, they will accept them directly.

After he had trained his Qi to the sixth level, his flying sword's speed became faster and faster. From time to time, there were disciples flying swords in the sect. He did not use his full speed and was not conspicuous among them. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the External Affairs Hall.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that Senior Brother Huo is on duty in the External Affairs Hall."

"Junior Brother Fang, you have already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining in just one year. When I brought you to the outer courtyard, I was optimistic about you and Xiao Yan. You are indeed talented."

"You're welcome. My cultivation level is far behind Senior Brother Huo's. It's just that Junior Brother has been practicing hard since he came to the outer courtyard. Xiao Yan has met him before."

"I have met him a few times. His current cultivation level is not as good as yours, but I heard that he has excellent aptitude for alchemy. It is said that he has been accepted as a registered disciple by a Jindan elder in the sect. He will be accepted as a formal disciple as soon as he breaks through the foundation-building stage."

"Junior Brother Xiao actually has such an opportunity, which is really enviable, but I'm afraid that Senior Brother Huo is not far from building a foundation."

Fang Xiao was not too envious. Everyone has their own path, so just walk your own way.

"Well, I'll give you the first mission. I'm going to go back to the family to break through the foundation. Junior brother, you are here to receive the mission, right? I can give you some convenience. This is the existing mission list. You can choose according to your own situation. Don't do it within your ability."

"Thank you, Brother Huo."

Fang Xiao did not expect that Senior Brother Huo Daochen was actually a disciple of the family. He had only heard that there were two major factions in the sect, namely the family lineage and the master-disciple lineage. However, that was all a story for the future. The most important thing now was to choose a suitable task.

The guarding mission was time-consuming and laborious, so he gave up on it first. He was not capable of such technical work as cultivating elixirs, refining weapons and making pills. His injuries would be recovered in a few days, so there would be no problem in taking on an investigation mission.

After careful consideration, Fang Xiao finally chose an investigation mission.

"I have chosen this task."

"Okay, then I wish you a safe journey."

After bowing and thanking him, he left the External Affairs Hall. The mission deadline was still a few days away, so he went back to prepare and then could set off.

After returning to his residence, he called Li Jun and his wife over and gave them some instructions. He then went with them to the spiritual field, performed the small cloud and rain technique to irrigate the field and remove the weeds and pests.

After everything was done, he didn't stop and flew out of the courtyard in the jade boat.

The journey would take about three days, and Fang Xiao began to recall the content of the mission.

On the edge of the Tianqing Mountains there lives a family of immortal cultivators called the Song family. Their ancestor was a foundation-building disciple of the Tianlan Sect. Later, when he had no hope of forming an elixir, he married and took concubines and established a family here. The Song family has always been dependent on the Tianlan Sect.

Nowadays, the Song family is declining, and there are only two people with spiritual roots, including the head of the Song family. The head is at the third level of Qi training, and the other one is at the first level. In a few years, I am afraid that they will no longer be considered a family of immortal cultivation.

In recent months, members of the Song family have been disappearing inexplicably. After an investigation, no cause has been found. Now everyone is in danger, fearing that they will be the next one to disappear, and they immediately report it to the Tianlan Sect.

After all, there is still some sentimentality. If ignored, it would chill people's hearts, so this mission was carried out.

When we arrived at the Song family, someone called the head of the family.

"Are you Song Qingshu? I am a disciple from the outer courtyard of Tianlan Sect Mingxuan, and I am here to help investigate the disappearance."

Take out your identity token to prove your identity.

"Yes, I am Song Qingshu, and I would like to thank the Sect Master for coming to save us."

Seeing Song Qingshu's slightly red eyes and worried look, and even using the word "rescue", you can tell how anxious he is. If he says they are missing, then those missing people may have already died.

Seeing him like this, Fang Xiao didn't even sit down, but directly asked someone to take him to the place where the Song family members disappeared. From the beginning when they disappeared in the mountains and forests, to now when some people disappeared directly at home.

As a cultivator, Song Qingshu could not find any trace of the other party at all, so he realized that this was not a problem he could solve at all.

Fang Xiao's current cultivation level is only the sixth level of Qi training, and the strength of his spiritual awareness is about to reach the eighth or ninth level of Qi training. Although he has not yet reached the level of projecting his spiritual awareness, he still discovered some unusual things at the scene.

After investigation, it was discovered that there was a faint yin energy at the scene that was almost imperceptible.

"Could it be a ghost?"

When he told Song Qingshu his thoughts, his face turned pale. If he couldn't deal with the ghost that he couldn't even sense, the Song family would be finished.

Before he came here, both the Song family and he guessed that it was the work of a monster, but they didn't expect it to be a ghost.

"But it's too early to draw a conclusion now. I will hide nearby at night and see what it is."

In the blink of an eye, it was night. Nothing happened in the first half of the night, and Fang Xiao thought that the other party would not show up tonight.

Just when the Song family was most tired, a negative energy came towards the Song family at a very fast speed and attacked a family on the edge of the Song family.

He made a prompt decision and flew his sword to attack the evil energy. If he delayed any further, someone might die.

A sword flew across the sky, and the sword energy directly dispersed the Yin energy. The ghost revealed its true appearance, and it turned out to be a ghost. The sharp energy of the flying sword seemed to frighten the ghost, and it turned into a Yin energy and flew away.

Fang Xiao did not attack again. He flew up on his sword and followed the ghost closely, intending to see whether it was the ghost that was causing trouble or there was someone controlling it from behind.
