Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Two Child-like Beings outside Douluo Palace!

Translator: 549690339

Not mentioning outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Growth King of Bistandard was there.

Over here.

In the Heavenly Court.

White cloud energy prevailed everywhere, and Taibai Venus and Xuanqing walked one after the other in the midst of it.

"Sir, why did I reach South Heaven during my divine journey, and why did you come to South Heaven to respond?"

At this moment.

Xuanqing was filled with doubts.

Before, his spirit had wandered the netherworld during a night journey without realizing it, which was actually not surprising since the netherworld itself was located beneath Black Wind Town.

But the South Heavenly Gate was the entrance to the Heavenly Court, far away from Black Wind Town as if separated by a chasm; how did the spirit float up here?

"Hahaha-"

Lord Taibai patted his beard and laughed twice, then explained, "Friend Xuanqing, there are some doubts in your mind, but 1 only know one or two of them."

"Above those Thirty-Three Heavens, there is a palace called Douluo, and the person in Douluo Palace sensed that a chosen one from the Human World had entered the South Heavenly Gate and called me to greet them!"

"As for why Daoist Xuanqing would travel to South Heaven, I don't know!"

This conversation

Not only did it not solve the puzzle in Xuanqing's heart, but it made him even more confused.

"Daoist Xuanqing, don't worry, if you have doubts in your heart, why not ask the person directly when you meet them, and then you will understand!"

It seemed to sense Xuanqing's confusion.

Taibai Venus immediately comforted him.

"Thankyou, Lord Taibai!"

Xuanqing saluted.

Next.

He was silent all the way.

Following half a body length behind Taibai Venus, Xuanqing curiously observed the Heavenly Court's scenery.

Well… it's not much different from the descriptions in mythology.

It's filled with immortal spirit Qi everywhere.

The only pity was that he was a spirit now, and his cultivation was too weak, otherwise he would have crossed his legs and practiced for a while after everything was settled.

Not knowing how long he had been walking,

Taibai Venus ahead came to a stop.

Looking forward, it was an altar hundreds of square feet in size.

Around this altar,

There were numerous mysterious runes floating, emitting bursts of Dao rhyme, incredibly mystical.

"This place is far from the Thirty-Three Heavens, even with my strength, it is not reachable in a short time."

Taibai Venus pointed to the front and introduced, "This is the Sky Ascension Altar, which has the effect of ascending to the sky."

While talking-

He took the lead in stepping onto the Sky Ascension Altar, signaling Xuanqing to follow.

Stepping onto the Sky Ascension Altar,

Xuanqing found the scenery around him changed, with colorful strands of silk wrapping around him, creating a magical scene.

"Hold on tight-"

Taibai Venus smiled faintly, and the pentagram on his forehead glowed with golden light as he waved his whisk in his hand.

The next moment.

It felt as if they were stuck in a space-time tunnel, everything became illusory, and the familiar dizziness came once again.

Opening their eyes again.

They had already arrived outside an incredibly magnificent palace.

"The Five Elements Palace contains Heaven and Earth, the Qiankun is refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace… Douluo Palace."

Xuanqing looked at the verses on the palace and felt countless Dao rhymes circling within, his vision lingered for a moment and a wave of dizziness followed.

What an incredible place… Since entering the Heavenly Court, there are wonders everywhere, Dao rhymes everywhere, and occasional dizziness.

At this moment.

Two figures walked out of the Douluo Palace, one dressed in gold and the other in silver.

"Jin Ling (Yin Ling), I've seen Lord Taibai Venus!" The two child-like beings bowed their hands to Lord Taibai Venus.

"Haha, two child-like beings are very polite!"

Taibai Venus saluted.

It is often said that in front of the prime minister's residence, there are officials of Grade Six, let alone these two child-like beings working under him, responsible for making fires and refining pills.

After the greetings were exchanged.

Star Lord Taibai looked at Xuanqing and softly said, "Friend Xuanqing, could you lend me your jade brand?"

Jade brand?

Xuanqing was slightly startled and quickly took off the Jade brand and handed it over.

Following that.

Star Lord Taibai received the jade brand, and the five-pointed star on his forehead emitted light, shooting a laser into the Jade brand.

"Done, I have left a wisp of guidance in your Immortal Jade brand. If you need to borrow the power of the Seven Orbs in the future, just pull the guidance in the jade brand!"

Star Lord Taibai returned the Jade brand while explaining.

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

In the Taoist sect, the power of the Seven Orbs had many uses, whether it was setting up formations or facing enemies in battle, it was very handy to have.

And now, on his own jade brand, a guidance was left by the Seven Orbs Star Lord Taibai, and he promised to freely borrow the power of the Seven Orbs.

"Thank you, Lord Taibai, for your generous gift. 1 will always keep this in mind!" Xuanqing bowed deeply, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

"Hahaha- No need for such formalities. We are both of the Taoist sect, so we should help each other!"

Star Lord Taibai laughed, waving his hand, and then said, "Friend Xuanqing, you should hurry up and follow the two child-like beings. Don't keep that important person waiting too long!"

"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave here. When you have time, come to the Leijin Palace for a visit."

At the side,

Jin Ling and Yin Ling Tongzi both urged, "Junior brother, hurry up and follow us to meet Sir!"

Junior brother?

Upon hearing this address,

Xuanqing pondered for a moment.

Immediately,

He bowed to the Star Lord Taibai again, "Farewell, Lord Taibai!"

After that,

Xuanqing cupped his hands towards the two child-like beings in front of him, "I'll have to trouble the two envoys to lead the way!"

Jin Ling and Yin Ling exchanged glances.

"Hehehe- Junior brother is interesting, calling us envoys."

"Since you have practiced the "Ingesting Qi Decision," from now on, we are of the same lineage. I am Jin Ling, just call me Senior Brother Jin Ling."

"Yes, yes, I am Yin Ling, just call me Senior Brother Yin Ling."

As these words were spoken,

Xuanqing became more certain of his conjecture.

As expected,

Perhaps when he had just logged into this world, he had already caught the attention of the big shots in the world.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that he just happened to participate in the Unaffiliated Cultivators Assembly and Zhu Ganglie went to sell the cultivation techniques?

Now that he knew the key points,

Xuanqing immediately bent slightly and bowed to the two child-like beings in front of him, "1, Xuanqing, have met Senior Brother Jin Ling and Senior Brother Yin Ling."

Seeing this-

The two child-like beings quickly put away the playful smiles on their faces and stood straight to accept Xuanqing's bow.

Then, the two child-like beings turned their backs to him, lowering their voices, as if discussing something.

"Good brother- At this moment, shouldn't we give something?"

"It seems so. I heard that in the human world, the first time you meet a junior brother, you have to give a greeting gift."

"But we don't have anything…what should we do?"

"Good brother, don't forget, in our daily pill refining in the furnace, we collect a lot of residues. Let's give them as a gift to Junior brother Xuanqing."

"Great idea, my clever brother!"

At this moment,

Xuanqing looked at the two child-like beings, who were not leading the way, but instead talking behind his back, feeling curious.

After a while,

The two child-like beings turned back.

"Ahem!"

"Good junior brother, since you call us senior brothers, for our first meeting, we have nothing precious to offer, so here's some… uh….alchemy powder, please don't mind!"

Translator: 549690339

"All… Thank you, my two senior brothers!"

Xuanqing hesitated slightly before eventually accepting the greeting gift. After all, he couldn't turn down their goodwill.

"Don't mention it! Let's go, Junior Brother!"

Child Jin Ling laughed heartily, tiptoed to tap Xuanqing's shoulder, looking quite the adult in the process.

They entered Douluo Palace.

A strong fragrance of medicine rushed towards them.

Even though he was in his spirit form, he still felt its invigorating effect, as if he had taken some tonic medicine. It was extremely comforting.

Following the two children,

they arrived at a room after a short walk.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing, go in, the Old Lord is waiting for you inside!"

"Alright, thank you two senior brothers for leading the way!"

Xuanqing said politely, bowing his head.

Taking a deep breath,

Xuanqing stepped into the room.

The room was not big, with a few ever-burning lamps placed around. In the center was a large Yin Yang Fish meditation painting.

A low tea table was placed in the middle of the room, with cushions on either side.

"Xuanqing!"

A faint voice sounded.

Huh?

Xuanqing was surprised to find a daoist standing beneath the Yin Yang Fish meditation painting, and the voice had come from this daoist.

Unnecessary to say, this person was the well-renowned Taishang Laojun, the top-notch being in this world.

Thud-

"Disciple Xuanqing, I pay my respects to the Ancestor Master!"

Xuanqing knelt down, his hands opened wide with palms turned inwards, allowing his forehead to slightly touch the back of his hands for a moment.

Formal Kowtow,

this was the most solemn among the nine bows.

As a disciple of the Taoist sect, even the most respectful greeting was not excessive when facing Taishang Laojun.

"Well done!"

Taishang Laojun smiled and nodded.

"Get up, I've waited for you for a long time!"

As his words fell.

Xuanqing, who was originally bowing down, felt an irresistible force lifting him up.

"Thank you, Ancestor Master!"

Bowing down again, Xuanqing carefully started to ask, "You just said you've been waiting for a long time, does that mean…"

"That's right, just as you suspect,"

Taishang Laojun gently nodded, pointing to the ground with his hand, "Since you appeared on Five Elements Mountain, 1 have had a feeling."

"The 'Ingesting Qi Decision' that you practised was given to you by Zhu Ganglie at my behest."

As expected.

Everything is just like what he has guessed!

"No wonder 1 was able to exchange household gold and silver for precious cultivation techniques like the 'Ingesting Qi Decision' and the 'Five Elements Formation'!" Xuanqing said.

"Hehe!"

Taishang Laojun laughed and shook his head, saying somewhat grumpily, "I didn't take your gold and silver. That foolish… planned to use them to curry favor with the Rabbit Spirit from Yunzhu Cave in Filling Mountain!"

"Oh?" Xuanqing was taken aback, asking in confusion, "The Rabbit Spirit? She's of the Demon Race, what does she want with mundane gold and silver?"

"Demon Race?"

"Hmph! She might be a demon in this life, but she will not necessarily be one in her next life."

An expression of strong disapproval appeared on Taishang Laojun's face.

"That idiot has already made arrangements in Hell for her to have her next life as a human. Then she can accumulate merits with these worldly gold and silver, become a Merit Immortal, and experience the thrill of having two souls in perfect harmony-"

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing came to a realization.

After learning that this game world is based on Journey to the West, he had meticulously studied the original work, the revised versions, and various television adaptations.

After Tianpeng was sent down to be reincarnated, he soon married Mao Erjie in Yunzhu Cave at Filling Mountain. Not long after the wedding, Mao Erjie died of an illness.

But question is, how could Mao Erjie, a Rabbit Spirit, die from an illness?

Combine this with the next plot point where Zhu Bajie forcefully married Gao Cuilan in Gao's Manor… It's not hard to deduce that Gao Cuilan is the reincarnation of the Rabbit Spirit.

With this in mind,

everything makes sense.

One can't help but sigh; those who have clout in the courts can easily arrange even something like the race of one's reincarnation.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Taishang Laojun speak again:

"Although you're blessed with great luck, your foundations and physical body are somewhat lacking!"

"That's the reason 1 called you to heaven, to properly refine your physical body and godlike soul!"

As soon as the words fell…

"May I ask…."

Before he even got the chance to ask, the world spun around him and he lost consciousness.

During the haze…

He seemed to hear some whispers.

"Junior Xuanqing is really fortunate, Sir actually values him so much!"

"Yes, yes. The last one in the furnace was that reckless monkey. He refined the Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze. What kind of divine power do you think our junior brother will refine?"

"Good brother, mentioning that monkey really irritates me. We kindly added a handful of fire to help him out, but he shouted angrily in the furnace. He doesn't appreciate our good intentions!"

"Hmph, if only we were able to descend into the mortal world. We'd surely go to the Five Finger Mountain and pee on his head."

"Giggle- giggle-"

After an unknown amount of time…

Xuanqing slowly woke up, suddenly sitting upright.

"Where am I…?"

In his memory, it seemed Ancestor Master had said his foundations and physical body were lacklustre, then…

Upon examining his surroundings…

He realized that he seemed to be in the middle of a furnace at this moment, surrounded by countless colorful spots.

What's more important…

There was a big, black hole in the sky right in front of him.

Inside the hole, a giant eyeball was staring straight at him.

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing was startled.

He had just awoken and was still somewhat bewildered. Suddenly seeing an eyeball staring at him, who wouldn't get scared?

The next moment…

The eyeball began to speak.

Err, wrong…

Strictly speaking, it was a voice that came from behind the black hole where the eyeball was located.

"Hee hee, Junior Xuanqing, you're awake?"

It was the voice of Yin Ling Tongzi.

"Senior Brother Yin Ling, am I currently inside the Eight Trigram Furnace?" Xuanqing asked the black hole.

"Yes, the fire is about to be started, it's a little painful, Junior, don't cry!"

Upon hearing this…

Xuanqing's heart jumped.

He couldn't help but think of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, being refined in the Eight Trigram Furnace to acquire his Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze. Even though the result was amazing, the process seemed extremely painful.

Before he could think any further…

Boom-

Bursts of golden flames blew out from the furnace walls on all sides, engulfing his entire body.

It wasn't as painful as he had imagined.

Uh… it felt almost like the sensation of a skin test needle before an IV drip, definitely within a tolerable range.

Following that…

The dark sky of the furnace started to drizzle.

Rumble-

The flames inside the furnace not only did not go out when being drenched by the rain, they expanded several times over.

An indescribable peculiar energy appeared and slowly started reforming Xuanqing's physical body.

Amidst the roaring flames…

"Comfortable-"

Xuanqing's eyes were slightly narrowed, and a trace of contentment appeared on his face.

The excruciating pain he had imagined didn't come, and after the drizzle, even the previous needle-like pain disappeared.

At this moment…

He could clearly feel…

His physical body was undergoing some kind of incredible change at an extraordinary speed..

Translator: 549690339

Most of the energy in the Eight Trigram Furnace is used to transform the body.

However,

There were one or two strands of energy that escaped, increasing his cultivation.

When it was enhanced to a certain critical point…

Crack… Crack-

It seems that a shackle within the body was shattered.

Late stage of Qi refining and God transformation!

The cultivation progressed from the Period of refining qi into the divine soul to the late stage of Qi refining and God transformation in an instant.

It's not over yet!

The cultivation is still rising continuously, like a burning rocket, soaring madly.

The soul and physical body are completely merged, and a large realm is broken through.

Boom!

The cultivation went straight from the late stage of Qi refining and God transformation to cultivating divinity and returning to the void, and these two thin strands of energy were almost exhausted.

Refining gods and returning to the void!!

Unbelievable-

It's outrageous.

Merely such insignificant strands of energy unexpectedly made his cultivation break through consecutively.

Leaping from the stage of refining qi into divine soul to the realm of refining gods and returning to the void.

Like eating and drinking, casually breaking through a small realm and a large realm.

"With such terrifying energy, I wonder what my body will be transformed into!"

Xuanqing was shocked.

You must know that the strange energy consumed by his physical body and soul transformation is more than ten thousand times that of the two strands just now!

Suddenly,

A dangerous idea emerged in his mind.

"The cluster of incense from Guanyin before was charged with over a million merits. If this furnace is…"

The idea was very dangerous, but his heart seemed to be tickled.

"Forget about it, I'm just checking, not exchanging!"

With a move of his mind,

[Ding, do you want to exchange 9999999…]

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing gasped in a cold breath, his eyes becoming slightly red.

Wouldn't exchanging make this recharge game turn into an unlimited ingot version?

Decisively!

"No exchange!"

Xuanqing took a deep breath, not thinking about these unnecessary things anymore.

Let alone that the energy in this furnace was originally intended to transform his body.

Even if he really recharges so many ingots, what use would there be, it's just the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom and the accelerating herbal spiritual medicine now.

"Cold and eternal, all things are still, the mind and Qi is quiet, I look upon myself alone…"

A quieting mantra was silently recited.

All the greedy, foolish thoughts dissipated, and the person returned to the calm and saintly state once again.

In this way,

As his body and soul continued to rise,

Time slowly passed.

After an unknown period,

[Ding, congratulations to the player for awakening the Body of Merits, you can check the details in the character panel!]

A prompt sounded in his mind.

Body of Merits?

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

"Open Character Panel!"

[Name: Xuanqing

[Physique: Body of Merits

[Grade: Taiji Library Keeper (Left), Officer of Thunderbolt Department (Eighth Rank)

[Cultivation: Refining Gods and Returning to the Void (Early Stage)

[Cultivation Method: Food-Qi Decree

[Divine Ability: Treading the Clouds (Perfection), Five Elements Formation (Great Accomplishment)

[Ingot: 603010

Indeed.

On the character panel, a new column appeared showing [Physique] with the words "Body of Merits" written after it.

Based on previous experiences.

Xuanqing focused his attention, looking at the words 'Body of Merits.'

[Body of Merits: Born from the Great Dao, nurtured by Heaven and Earth, immune to karma and untainted by calamity!

The information was simple.

But the meaning behind it was far from simple, it could even be considered terrifying.

Born from the Great Dao, nurtured by Heaven and Earth, immune to karma, and untainted by calamity!

For now, it was unclear what "untainted by calamity" meant, but the earlier part, "immune to karma," was easy to understand.

If karma could be considered as 'Heaven's Law,' then being immune to karma meant Heaven's Law could only govern other immortals and was useless against the Body of Merits.

"Immune to karma and untainted by calamity, I wonder how this miraculous physique was refined, and if this physique allows for a fast cultivat:", "Are you aware of how soon this will become a trending news item?"]

},ust speed."

Xuanqing thought to himself, "Once I leave here later, I will visit the Ancestor to clear my doubts and ask if there are any hidden techniques and divine abilities I could receive."

You must know.

Now, he only knows "Treading the Clouds" and the "Five Elements Formation." Apart from these, he has no other means.

As he was lost in thought.

Suddenly.

A powerful suction force came from under his feet, swallowing him whole like a tornado.

Alchemy Room!

Next to the earlobe of the Eight Trigram Furnace.

Two children were wrenching at the knobs on the furnace.

"One, two, three, heave-ho, it's out!"

Plop-

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

A dark shadow emerged from the hole where the elixir was extracted, and u2oobu2oobshot out with a whoosh.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing, how do you feel?"

"How do you feel, did you also refine the Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze?"

Just as he came out, Jin Ling and Yin Ling, the two children, were surrounding him, along with their inquiries.

Xuanqing shook his head, "I feel fine, but I have not refined any Eyes of the

Fire Golden Gaze."

"Two Senior Brothers, please wait, I will go to pay my respects to the Ancestor first, and then I will talk to you in detail!"

Having said that.

He bowed and turned around, heading towards the room he'd started in with the Yin Yang Fish meditation image.

In the same room as before.

"Disciple Xuanqing, pays respects to Ancestor!"

"Rise!"

Taishang Laojun raised his hand slightly, and then asked, "Did you make any gains in the Eight Trigram Furnace of this old dao?"

"I have gained something; I broke through to the refining gods and returning to the void realm and achieved the Body of Merits. Still, 1 have some doubts in my mind," Xuanqing slightly bowed.

"What doubts do you have?" Old Lord asked.

Xuanqing replied with clasped hands, "After refining the Body of Merits, 1 had a feeling and found out that the Body of Merits is immune to karma and untainted by calamity."

"I somewhat understand the immunity to karma, but the untainted by calamity part is unclear. 1 hope Ancestor can enlighten me!"

Hearing this.

"Hahaha- This untainted by calamity is extraordinary; you just need to know that even the Western Religion Tathagata cannot obtain it!" Old Lord laughed heartily a couple of times, showing no intention of explaining.

Ah, really?

Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly.

When facing the City God, he still managed to say that he hated enigma people, but when facing his own Ancestor.

Sigh… All he could say was that his Ancestor still had a childlike innocence and a sense of humor-

Xuanqing consoled himself with a sentence in his heart and bowed again, saying:

"Reporting to Ancestor, at the moment 1 only know…"

"You cheeky fellow, coming to my Douluo Palace and still unsatisfied after achieving the Body of Merits." Taishang Laojun scolded with a smile.

"Alright, alright- This old dao will grant you another method!"

Immediately after.

The handle of the duster pointed at Xuanqing's forehead with a mischievous smile and tapped down.

Thud-

A crisp sound.

Xuanqing felt a slight pain in his head, and then a icle:UIButtonType(new_ paragraph)! of information appeared in his mind, containing a divine power cultivation method.

His heart was overjoyed.

He quickly bowed and raised his hand to form a seal, "Thank you, Ancestor! Thank you, Ancestor!"

Tsk, tsk- Our Ancestor is truly the best..

Translator: 549690339

"Retire!"

"Yes, disciple takes leave!"

Xuanqing's expression was respectful, as he slowly bowed and left the room.

Outside.

The two child-like beings were waiting early.

Speaking of which.

Although these two were revered child-like beings under the Old Lord, they lived very lonely lives.

As they say, it's cold at the top, and the Douluo Palace of the Thirty-Three Heavens is as high as it gets.

In the entire Douluo Palace, apart from the Sir, there were only these two child-like beings left, and the Old Cow who slept all day.

Creak-

The door opened.

They saw Junior Xuanqing coming out of Sir's room.

The two child-like beings were first stunned, then they seemed to have seen something incredibly amusing.

"Pfft-"

"Haha~ Hahaha."

"Junior brother, your…your forehead!" Jin Ling child pointed to the other's head with one hand clutching his belly.

"Er…"

Xuanqing was puzzled.

He touched his own forehead and saw a huge swollen bump, which was still slightly painful when touched.

It was the bump that Ancestor Master had hit earlier!

Suddenly.

Xuanqing was both amused and annoyed.

With his current cultivation, he naturally wouldn't swell from a mere bump, so it must have been some special method used by the Ancestor Master to achieve such an effect.

"Junior brother..how did you get a bump on your head?"

"Haha, I bet it was Sir who beat him up."

Poor guys.

These two child-like beings were truly pitiful, having no entertainment in their daily lives, and even such a small scene could tickle their funny bones.

After laughing for a while.

As if they remembered something.

Jin Ling tugged at Xuanqing's sleeve, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked:

"Junior brother, as a human world Taoist, can you tell us some stories about the human world?"

"Stories about the human world?" Xuanqing's eyes were deep, showing a thoughtful expression.

He thought about it.

"Let's talk as we walk, the matters of the human world can't be told in a short time!"

And so.

Xuanqing began telling the two child-like beings about the world of mortals.

He didn't say anything else.

He just related what he had seen and heard when he arrived in Black Wind Town.

When the two child-like beings heard about the bullying and oppression, they immediately showed anger and shouted that they would teach those people a lesson.

Later.

When they heard about how Xuanqing, the protagonist, had put all those people in their place and even removed Guanyin Zen Temple that backed them up, they couldn't help but clap their hands in praise.

Yin Ling even chimed in, saying, "I think no one in Shimen is good. Those who came for the pill said that the Chief Instructor Tuota Heavenly King in the Heavenly Court is the most overbearing."

"That's right, that's right. Even the gatekeepers who guard the Heavenly Gate are the kind who look down on people with their dog's eyes-"

The two child-like beings muttered to themselves.

Every time the Heavenly Court sent someone to fetch the pill, it was the only way for the two brothers to learn about the outside world.

"By the way, Junior Xuanqing, you just said that the common people built a temple and Taoist temple for you. As the master of a temple, why don't you even have a duster?"

Jin Ling asked curiously.

Why was there no duster?

Of course, it was because he was poor.

"Senior Brother Jin Ling doesn't know. Although I have a Five-Thousand-Year-Old Peach Tree Branch that can be used as a duster handle, 1 don't have any material for the duster tail."

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.

Afterward.

With a thought, he took out the five-thousand-year-old peach wood and showed it to the two child-like beings.

However.

After seeing this five-thousand-year-old peach tree branch.

The two child-like beings looked at it with an air of extreme disdain, as if it is some kind of garbage from somewhere.

The two brothers looked at each other.

It seems that although the Human World is fun, it is too poor. Poor Junior Xuanqing is thinking about using this kind of garbage to make a duster.

Suddenly.

A light flashed in Yin Ling's mind.

"Hm… I remember, Sir used to have a whip to hit the cows. If we dismantle the whip, won't it become a handle?"

"That's not right, what's the use of having only a handle? There's still the tail part!" Jin Ling waved his hand and refuted.

Upon hearing this.

"Hehe~" A smirk appeared on Yin Ling's face.

"Good brother, it's not difficult to get the tail part. Our master's cow just sleeps all day, and one sleep lasts more than a month…"

Yin Ling's eyes rolled around and he lowered his voice, saying, "I think its tail is not bad, why don't we…"

As soon as these words came out.

There was a tremor in Xuanqing's heart.

These two naughty kids can really think. They even dare to go and touch the Master's cow?

He clearly remembered that after the Old Cow descended to the world, it first defeated Monkey King and then defeated all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Lord of Water Virtue, Lord Huo De, and even Nezha with three heads and six arms was no match for the Old Cow.

Perhaps some would say that the Old Cow just borrowed the power of the Old Lord's magic treasure and had no real ability of its own.

But on second thought, both Jin Ling and Yin Ling descended to the world with the Old Lord's treasures in their hands, and they were easily dealt with, weren't they?

"Two senior brothers, I'll figure out the duster issue by myself, please don't do this!"

Xuanqing hurriedly bowed and advised.

Leave alone the actual strength of the Old Cow, its status as the Master's mount alone was something they shouldn't take hair from.

However.

Normally with extreme boredom, on the verge of going crazy, the two child-like beings found such an interesting thing to do, how could they be willing to give up.

"Junior brother, don't worry. We are all under Sir's command and should support each other. You, as the master of a Taoist temple, don't even have a duster. What kind of a situation is that?"

"Exactly, exactly, if you're scared, just wait here while we two do it later."

Both child-like beings kept talking, and they had already made up their minds to engage in that interesting activity of plucking the cow's tail hair.

With the conversation heading this way.

"Sigh!"

Xuanqing let out a sigh.

These two cheap senior brothers did show him the way, gave a greeting gift, and even helped with pill refining. However, he couldn't ignore their feelings either.

After some thought.

"Two senior brothers, I'll wait here!" Xuanqing bowed his hands.

He had only met the Ancestor Master for the first time, and he couldn't do the thing of plucking his mount's hair.

The two child-like beings looked at each other again, their eyes full of eagerness.

"Well, junior brother, you just stay here and don't move. We'll come back and give it to you once we pluck the hairs."

Having said that.

The two child-like beings hooked their shoulders and hopped towards the direction where the Old Cow lived.

On the walking path.

Looking at the direction of the two brothers leaving, Xuanqing sighed inwardly, thinking these two children were really quite naughty.

Fat Ya and Huai Qingyun were more sensible, one helping him with farming and the other with receiving incense guests. Both were handy workers.

"Children of the poor have to support their family early, the ancients did not deceive me!"

Xuanqing shook his head.

Just right.

The immortal Qi in Douluo Palace was extremely rich and, although not as good as the Innate Energy, it was much stronger than ordinary spiritual Qi in the Human World.

"Why not take this opportunity to stabilize my cultivation!"

Xuanqing sat down with his legs crossed.

At this moment.

Suddenly!

An unexpected change occurred!!

Chapter 101: Chapter loo: One Day in Heaven, One Year on Earth?

Translator: 549690339

Boom-

The ground trembled.

Two cries of pain echoed in the distance before appearing next to him in a blink of an eye.

"I was wrong, please don't throw a fit-"

"All, you stupid cow, don't hit my face…ouch!"

"Sir, save me!"

This unexpected turn of events.

Xuanqing was stupefied.

He saw a massive bull, three meters tall and bulging with muscles, slam its hoof into Yin Ling Tongzi's face.

The immense force turned Yin Ling Tongzi into a rocket, flying into the distance and turning into a shining star.

After that,

The bull flung its head, and the tips of its horns pierced through…the Taoist robe of Jin Ling Tongzi.

With a forceful toss,

There it was, another aerial acrobat, transforming into a twinkling star and disappearing from sight.

The next moment,

Xuanqing stood up, his pupils suddenly contracting.

It turned out that the bull, after tossing Jin Ling Tongzi and Yin Ling Tongzi away, was now charging toward him.

Whoosh-

Its mountain-like massive body stopped in front of him, and its heavy breathing was like a gust of wind.

Xuanqing cursed under his breath,

He hadn't expected such danger inside the Ancestor Master's Douluo Palace.

He wasn't sure if, after being revived later, the Ancestor Master would notice anything odd.

"Moo~"

Just as the old cow was about to strike, giving the Taoist in front of it a blow,

Suddenly,

It paused.

An expression of human surprise emerged in the old cow's eyes.

"Moo~"

An odd thing happened.

The old cow turned around, and with a shake of its huge body, broke off its tail.

This severed tail fell to the ground, transforming into a fluffy, snow-white duster.

After completing these actions,

The old cow gave Xuanqing a meaningful look before turning around, running off, and disappearing into the distance.

"Ah…what?"

Xuanqing was dumbstruck by this.

Before he could recover,

He saw the white duster, formed from the cow's tail, suddenly lift off the ground, as if pulled by a force, and float in midair.

Whoosh-

From the direction the old cow had gone, a streak of blue light shot towards him.

Upon closer examination, it was a wooden stick about two feet, one inch, and two points long, the same size as the handle of a duster.

As the floating wooden stick and the white fuzz made from the cow's tail attracted and rotated around each other,

Eventually,

A duster, adorned with a small golden ring, three inches and three points long, exuding a mysterious Taoist charm, took shape.

"This is a token of goodwill from the old dao's disciples and the cow. You should accept it!"

The resounding voice echoed throughout the great hall.

As expected,

All this was the Ancestor Master's doing, no wonder the old cow had looked at him so strangely.

Accepting the duster,

Xuanqing bowed deeply towards the house of the previous yin and yang contemplation chart.

"Thank you, Ancestor Master, for bestowing this treasure."

After saying this,

He stood up straight and yelled towards the sky, "Thank you to Senior Brother Jin Ling, Senior Brother Yin Ling, and Senior Cow!"

After saying all this,

Xuanqing's face changed.

He saw the surrounding space twist and warp as a familiar dizziness swept over him.

Damn, he was being teleported away. He had planned to linger in Douluo Palace for a while and take advantage of the rich Immortal Spirit Qi to cultivate.

Black Wind Town.

Inside the divine realm of the temple and Taoist temple.

Xuanqing opened his eyes and found himself in his divine realm.

And.

By his side was a duster emanating powerful Taoist charms, which he acquired from Douluo Palace.

Just as he was about to ponder over his gains in the Heavenly Court this time.

Suddenly!

A mechanical system prompt sounded.

[Player's accumulated incense reaches 100,000 points, promoted to a secondary seventh-rank Immortal Official!]

???

What's going on? He had just accumulated forty thousand incense points and was promoted to the eighth-rank Daoist Immortal Official a few days ago, right?

"It's only been a few days, how could it be…"

As if remembering something.

"A few days… a few days… one day in heaven, one year on earth?"

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing took a deep breath of cold air.

Considering this possibility.

He quickly tried to ask his subordinates through his divine realm to see if several years had passed in Black Wind Town.

Leaving the divine realm.

He found thunder roaring in the sky.

At a distance!

Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, the Four Little Gods, and a City God shrouded in a black mist from head to toe?

A crowd under its command was watching from afar.

Seeing the situation.

Xuanqing looked up at the vision in the sky.

It turned out.

The divine power generated during the promotion of this Daoist Immortal Official made it impossible for the crowd to approach.

H

It seems that 1 have to wait until the promotion is over before I can ask them."

Xuanqing took a deep breath and stood still, quietly waiting for the promotion of the Immortal Official's light column to descend.

Compared to the previous promotion to the eighth rank, the movement of this promotion to the secondary seventh rank was much more magnificent.

Auspicious rain and celestial sounds fell from the sky.

When the rain soaked the ground, all the soaked animals and plants showed expressions of enjoyment.

Some ordinary people wandering by the roadside also felt refreshed, discovering that all their hidden injuries had disappeared.

[Controller of the Right Palace of the Taiji, Upper Purity, Responsible for the Sutra Signatures, the secondary Eighth Rank Immortal Official, Daoist Xuanqing, please listen to the decree!]

[Due to his blessings to the people and the prosperity of the incense reaching over 100,000, he is now promoted to: Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books, Thunderclap Capital Affairs, with a secondary seventh rank, and can oversee the tasks of the Right Palace!]

Well… the familiar taste is back.

For Xuanqing, having just heard it a few days ago and hearing it again now, it was very familiar.

Accompanied by these two familiar and grandiose voices.

Just like before.

The light column appeared!

A huge light column descended from the sky, enveloping Xuanqing's entire body.

Luck increased, status upgraded!

Along with the falling light column, several groups of familiar special energy appeared, which was the salary he had received once before.

Innate Merit.

At a glance, there were a total of five lumps.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing knew in his heart that he didn't need to ask how much time had passed.

The Heavenly Court's salary is paid on time every year. With five lumps of Innate Merit here, it means that five years have passed.

"Just like in the mountains, one day passes and a thousand years have passed in the world!"

"Only a few days in Douluo Palace, but five years have passed in Black Wind Town!"

Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh.

Of course.

More importantly, since five years have passed in Black Wind Town, it means that half a year has passed in the real world.

"It's been half a year in the real world, and 1 don't know what has happened."

"However, it should be fine. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been an increase of sixty thousand incense in the past six months, and there would be no prompt from the game system."

Xuanqing shook his head.

With a thought.

Putting the five groups of Innate Merit Salary into the game backpack, he then held the floating duster in his hand.

Wearing a Taoist robe, cloth shoes, and holding a duster filled with Taoist charms, he was all geared up-

Moments later.

The visions and divine might in the sky dispersed.

"Sir-"

"Superior Immortal!"

Chapter 102: Chapter 101: When one person attains Tao, even their pets ascend to heaven! (Available on April 1st!)

Translator: 549690339

Sir!

Following the voices calling for Sir and Superior Immortal.

Two demons, four little gods, the grown-up Fat Ya, and a City God shrouded in black fog from head to toe.

The crowd gathered around.

Seeing this scene,

Xuanqing's gaze swept over them, and when he saw Fat Ya, who had grown tall and graceful, his gaze lingered for a moment.

"Black Bear, White Snake, Fat Ya, come forward and listen to the bestowing of the Lu cards!"

With these words,

They have already learned from the City God that a Daoist Immortal Officer who has reached the secondary seventh rank of 'Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books' has the authority to grant Lu cards for registration.

More importantly, even if it is 'reporting' nominally, it is almost a sure thing in the special case of a Daoist Immortal Official.

That is to say,

Their status will no longer belong to the management of Hell, but to the Immortal's Household Department of the Eastern Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

"Sir, are we…are we really going to be on the Immortal's Register?"

Young Lord White Snake's eyes were red, and he covered his mouth with his long sleeves, fearing that he might accidentally upset Sir with his composure.

"Roar! Old…Sir-roar!"

Black Bear Essence roared even louder, its thick lips quivering constantly, shaking its body excitedly.

Only Fat Ya lowered her head, hesitating to stand in place, her gaze probing at the familiar yet strange Sir.

One day in heaven,

A year on earth.

It is said that one is tender and graceful in their eleventh year, and in their cardamom age at the beginning of February.

At this moment, Fat Ya is no longer the chubby little girl she once was.

She put on makeup, wore a long skirt, her eyes were rippling with water, but there was an indiscernible charm in them.

"Fat Ya…come here!

"Oh!"

Her gauze skirt swayed, and her jade arm lightly tucked in, showing her graceful, dignified demeanor as a well-bred young lady.

Xuanqing raised his hand, intending to touch Fat Ya's head as he had done before.

However, his hand stopped halfway through the air.

A few days ago, she was still an ignorant child.

Reappearing before him now, she had already become a beautiful embryo of elegant features and without makeup.

She has grown up!

Therefore,

Xuanqing retracted his right hand.

He took a deep breath, his expression calming down somewhat.

"Fat Ya, this is the last time I call you Fat Ya. Have you thought about your Daoist name, or shall 1 give you one?"

Before, it didn't matter what the Daoist child was called, but now that she was to be granted a Lu card into the Immortal's Register, it must be a proper name.

Otherwise,

When others meet in the future, it will be someone the likes of True Man and Immortal Lady, and when it comes to her, it will become Fat Ya the Immortal Lady, which doesn't sound good and is against etiquette!

"Old…Sir, I'll leave it up to you!"

Fat Ya lowered her head, clutching the corner of her clothes.

The sight of her twisting and shyly avoiding him made Xuanqing feel a little uncomfortable.

"Forget it, forget it, after Xuan in the poor way is Qing, the relationship between you and me originated from a bowl of water, so let's call it Qingwan!

ii

Fat Ya…no, she should be called Qingwan, but she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

At the side,

The Land God of Black Wind Town hurried to Qingwan's side, "Fat…Qingwan, Wan'er, why don't you hurry up and thank Sir for giving you a name?"

Qingwan woke up like a dream.

Thump –

"Qingwan…thanks Sir for giving me a name!"

"Hmm!"

Xuanqing let out a light snort, raised his hand and motioned for the other to stand up.

Then,

With a thought,

The Immortal Official's Jade Seal around his waist floated in the air on its own, emitting the awe-inspiring aura of a seventh rank Immortal Official.

"Representing the Lesser Yang Emperor of the Eastern Purple Mansion, Daoist Immortal Official Xuanqing, Secondary Seventh-Rank Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Upper Purity, Responsible for the Sutra Signatures, Thunder Lord!"

With a soft whisper,

The Officer Jade Card floating in midair, even in broad daylight, radiated dazzling light.

"Extraordinary! You've passed the test for the Immortal Officer Jade Card! Qingwan' is now a member of the Taiji Right Palace and will be the Left Judge of the Five Thunder Court with a standard ninth-ranking immortal dwelling!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Humming-

Waves rippled through the air.

It was like a stone thrown into calm water, splashing ripples in all directions.

The Immortal Officer Jade Card shone brilliantly, forming a pillar of light that sped at an indiscernible speed toward the distant heavenly palace.

Moments later,

Boom-

Dark clouds rolled in the sky.

A beam of light descended from heaven, enveloping Qingwan's entire body in divine aura.

Upon seeing this,

Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She's excitement surged, desperately swallowing their throats, and when they thought it would be their turn soon, their hearts were burning with anticipation.

On the side,

The little old man of Black Wind Mountain's Land God was overjoyed, his face creased in laughter.

Because from their lineage, Fat Ya (Qingwan) was still his descendant.

Moreover, after Xuanqing descended from the mountain, it has been the Black Wind Mountain's Land God who had been taking care of Qingwan, right up until she grew up and became an adult. The bond between them was deep and profound.

The divine aura dissipated.

Qingwan's temperament underwent a drastic change, as an inexplicable charm enveloped her body— no longer the young girl she once was, now possessing an untouchable goddess-like temperament.

"Qingwan… I thank Sir for granting me the Officer Jade Card."

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

He then looked at the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She standing to the side.

"Have you thought of a Daoist name, or would you prefer that 1…"

"We've thought of one, thought of one!"

As soon as the words fell,

Gentleman Bai She's eyes shone with excitement, he shouted: "Please, grant me the name… Qingxu!"

Qingxu?

Xuanqing looked at the slender Gentleman Bai She and thought to himself; indeed, he seemed rather empty.

Since he had already thought of a Daoist name, Xuanqing naturally wouldn't hinder him.

At that moment,

The same act of bestowing the Officer Jade Card upon Qingwan was repeated for Bai She.

Within moments,

Accompanied by a beam of light descending on White Snake Qingxu, he transformed from a first-ranked demon into an immortal, and the demonic aura on his body changed into immortal power under the influence of the heavenly rules.

"Thank you… Thank you, Sir, for granting me the Officer Jade Card."

Gentleman Bai She kowtowed on the ground, knocking his head incessantly.

"I… I shall be known as Daoist Qingxu from now on, big brother, 1 shall be known as Daoist Qingxu."

"Hehe, good younger brother, I shall call you Qingxu from now on." The Black Bear Essence laughed naively and said with a muffled voice.

Having said that,

The Black Bear Essence looked at Xuanqing, and then with a somewhat shy expression, scratched his head and said:

Sir, you see, I'm all black, and that 'green' color doesn't quite suit me."

"If I'm called the Green Bear, it wouldn't sound right either, you see… So, can 1 keep my name as Black Bear?"

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing pondered.

To say that the Black Bear's whole body was like rolling in coal would still be an understatement; he was simply as black as pitch.

Except for a pair of white eyes and the pure white teeth, everything else was utterly black.

"Fine, i am not such a pedantic person. As long as your heart is loyal, a name is just a symbol!"

Xuanqing smiled and shook his head.

And so,

The two demons, along with the newly renamed Qingwan, all became standard ninth-ranked Left Judges under Xuanqing's command.

Although they didn't hold additional positions like Xuanqing as Thunder City Supervisor, they had joined the ranks of the Immortal Officials and were no longer nameless individuals.

And so it is!

One ascended to immortality, bringing up those around them!

After dealing with the two demons and granting Qingwan's jade seal.

Xuanqing then turned his attention to the four little gods and the city god beside them.

He was curious why this city god didn't stay in the Netherworld and came to the Human World. It looked like he had been here for quite some time.

"What brings you, City God, to my Black Wind Town?" Xuanqing asked in a deep voice.

He always spoke frankly, asking directly when in doubt, without beating around the bush. It's too tiresome!

"Immortal Xuanqing, I didn't expect that after a few years away, you've been promoted again. Your divine powers are vast and your background profound," the City God said with a sigh, and then bowed slightly, "From now on, you can call me the Black Wind City God. I'm not worthy of the title 'Lord'."

As the saying goes, age brings wisdom. Having figured out Xuanqing's personality, the city god didn't waste time on pleasantries.

"I came to the Human World to become part of your followers, Immortal. 1 wish to serve you!"

At these words…

The four little gods around him also quickly stepped forward, their respectful expressions filled with expectation.

"Immortal, we also wish to join under your command and become subordinate gods!"

The four little gods spoke one after another.

Seeing this scene, Xuanqing nodded knowingly.

The so-called subordinate gods…

Is a special formation where their life paths are linked to their main god. Half of the incense offered to them must also be handed over to the main god.

In return, they can enjoy the blessings of the main god's destiny, making it easier for their rank and position to be promoted.

This… is the nature of subordinate gods!

So…

Regarding the four little gods and the city god wanting to become his subordinate gods,

Xuanqing was not surprised at all.

He was no longer the ignorant Little White from the past, and already had a certain understanding of the rules of this world.

"Black Wind Mountain's Land God, Black Wind Town's Land God, Azure Dragon Mountain Land God, Black Dragon Pool's Water God, I grant your request!"

These four little gods had followed him since he was at the Standard Ninth Grade. They had always served diligently, so there was no reason to refuse them.

Next,

Xuanqing's gaze turned to the City God, "City God, you are a Seventh rank official with a position higher than mine."

"Would you feel bitter if you joined my ranks?"

Upon hearing this,

A wry smile appeared on the City God's face.

"Please don't tease me, Immortal!"

"If it were hundreds of years ago when I was the City God of Minglang City, 1 might still have some authority."

"But after the Five Fingers Sacred Mountain fell from the sky and the incident at the Guanyin Zen Temple, 1 am afraid 1 would have vanished long ago without your rescue."

With a melancholy expression, the City God sighed, "I've come to realize that whether human or god, without a powerful support, no one will speak for you even if you die."

"If I could join under your command, 1 would swear to the Heavenly Path. If I ever show disloyalty, may the Heaven and Earth not spare me!"

"I beg… Please grant my wish!"

With that said,

The City God knelt down and buried his head deeply into the ground.

This scene,

Somehow,

Reminded Xuanqing of a famous saying – when you're out and about, it's not about who is stronger, it's about connections and background!

"Since you are willing to swear on the Heavenly Path, I grant your request." Xuanqing said.

The City God was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir!"

"Hmm!"

Xuanqing nodded slightly, tossing his Immortal Official's Jade Seal into the air.

The next moment,

The four little gods and the City God, one by one, presented their own divine seals, injecting their divine light into their master's Immortal Official Jade Seal floating in the air.

It's worth mentioning that,

The divine light from the Seventh rank City God's seal was almost the same size as the divine light of the Black Wind Town's Land God, which was quite miserable.

Humming-

After absorbing the five strands of divine light.

The Immortal Official's Jade Seal trembled slightly, and the divine aura on it became even more intense.

Xuanqing could clearly sense that his status had been strengthened, and if he were to use the thunderbolt authority, he could unleash even greater power.

Just like that.

The Four Little Gods, along with the City God, had become subordinate gods under Xuanqing's command.

After dealing with these matters.

"You may go now!" Xuanqing waved his hand at the crowd.

"Yes, Sir!"

"Yes, Sir!"

It was a unanimous response of "Sir," where there were no more mixed calls of "Sir" and "Superior Immortal" as before.

Watching the crowd under his command leave.

Returning to the Divine Realm.

Xuanqing began to ponder the gains from his trip to Heaven this time.

Firstly.

From having an ordinary constitution to becoming the Body of Merits thanks to the Ancestor Master's pill furnace.

Cultivation had also broken through to Refining Spirit to Emptiness.

More importantly.

The Ancestor Master had also bestowed a divine power technique.

"Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter, I haven't had the chance to look at it before, let's take a look at the use of this divine power now."

Xuanqing murmured softly.

With a thought.

"Open Character Panel!"

Next.

He looked at the [Divine Ability] column in the Character Panel.

[Divine Ability] :Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter, Five Elements Talisman Array (Great Accomplishment), Cloud Stepping Travel (Perfection).

In the panel of divine abilities, besides the original Five Elements Talisman Array and Cloud Stepping Travel, there was the addition of "Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter."

Concentrating.

"Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter": Strengthen oneself with the Qi of human destiny; greatly amplify combat power, and eventually condense a Luck Golden Dragon to face the enemy.

Note: Although this technique has immense power, it carries tremendous karmic consequences. Player, use with caution.

???

Looking at the 'Note' content under this Divine power, Xuanqing was somewhat surprised in his heart.

"It is indeed worthy of the Ancestor Master, a divine power that condenses the power of human destiny!" Xuanqing couldn't help but exclaim.

It must be said.

This divine power was tailor-made for him.

Practicing Human Way Fate Power, enhancing oneself, possessing immense power, but also tainted with tremendous karma.

But this side effect, for Xuanqing with the 'Body of Merits', was completely meaningless.

"In this world, the Human Race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth. Whether it be gods, Buddha, or even the entire Heavenly Court, it is built on the foundation of the entire human race."

"Presumably, the power of this 'Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter', which cultivates Human Destiny, must be incredibly astonishing!"

Xuanqing looked forward to it.

Reading the detailed content and practice methods of this "Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter" in his mind.

"According to this divine power, with the current scale of Black Wind Town, it should be able to condense a 'Destiny Seal.'"

"Let's give it a try!"

There was a glint in Xuanqing's eyes.

The next moment.

His God Soul left his body and arrived in the sky above Black Wind Town.

However.

An unexpected situation occurred!!!

At this moment.

In the sky above Black Wind Town.

Upon seeing the surrounding situation, Xuanqing's face, in his God Soul state, was extremely unsightly.

What had happened?

Chapter 104: Chapter 103: The Resentful Qi in the Sky of Black Wind Town!

Translator: 549690339

Chapter 3: The resentment in the sky above Black Wind Town!

The God Soul floated in the air.

Xuanqing saw countless resentments swirling in the sky above the entire Black Wind Town, and even among them, there were traces of chaotic energy.

"With so many resentments and even chaotic energy, what on earth happened to Black Wind Town?"

Xuanqing's heart sank.

Before resolving these resentments, he would not be able to cultivate the Destiny Controlling Dragon Technique.

The God Soul returned to its place, back into the divine realm.

With a thought in his mind.

Directly through the Officer Jade Card, the divine imprint left by the Black Wind Town's Land God was called over.

Moments later.

Black Wind Town's Land God entered the divine realm.

Seeing his master's face looking unpleasant and thinking about how he had just sent them away and called him alone.

Could it be… did he do something wrong and made his master unhappy?

"Sir, d-did you call for me?"

The Black Wind Town's Land God asked nervously.

It is worth mentioning.

As a subordinate deity after the appointment, the title "superior immortal," indicating a colleague's hierarchy, is no longer appropriate.

Xuanqing nodded slightly, "Let me ask you, has there been any abnormality in Black Wind Town in these six years since 1 ascended to the heavens?" Abnormal?

Black Wind Town's Land God hesitated for a moment.

He immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Sir, there has indeed been an anomaly. I wanted to report it just now, but I was worried about disturbing your cultivation, so…"

Hearing this.

Xuanqing glared at the Land God unhappily.

"In the future, do not hesitate to tell me directly about anything!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Black Wind Town's Land God hurriedly bowed in agreement.

Then.

He began to speak:

"Reporting to you, Sir, 1 don't know why, but in the Wusi Tibetan territory to the west of our Black Wind Town, there are rolling yellow sands, countless deaths and injuries of the people, and displaced people fleeing south."

"Now the entire outskirts of Black Wind Town is surrounded by yellow sand in the west."

As his words reached this point, the Black Wind Town's Land God's face became somewhat solemn, and after a brief pause, he continued:

"These people have fled to our Black Wind Town. Because there are so many of them, several riots have broken out in the town."

"I let the old temple attendant go to town to dispense porridge, and the situation has eased a little, but the reserve grain in town is quickly running out, and I'm afraid there will be major problems when that happens!"

Hearing this.

Xuanqing pondered in his heart.

"The Wusi Tibetan territory is experiencing a yellow sand catastrophe… Yellow sand… Could it be?"

It seemed that in Journey to the West, the first calamity Monkey King encountered was the Yellow Wind Monster from the Yellow Wind Ridge.

Its original form was a weasel from the Ling Mountain, who was caught by Ling Ji Bodhisattva after stealing and eating the clear oil in the Luminous Glass, then released to return to the mountain to cultivate and refine its nature.

At this thought.

Xuanqing's heart moved, and he asked again, "You said that the yellow sand just happened to cover the outskirts of our Black Wind Town?"

"Yes, Sir!" The Black Wind Town's Land God clasped his hands.

"So that's it!"

Understanding dawned on Xuanqing's face.

He already had a guess in his heart.

"Sir, is there any issue with the yellow sand in Wusi Tibetan territory?" The Black Wind Town's Land God asked in confusion.

Hearing the Land God's doubts.

Xuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "There is a problem, and it is most likely related to the Shimen sect. However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

"Tell me, what problems are we facing in our Black Wind Town right now?"

"Sir, we lack food, housing, and government administration!" The Black Wind Town's Land God replied.

"Alright, you continue to dispense porridge for now. I will handle this matter in a few days!" Xuanqing commanded.

"As you command, Sir! I take my leave!"

He watched Black Wind Town's Land God leave.

Xuanqing's eyes were deep.

Since ancient times, disaster victims have been an existence that combines resentment, chaos, plague, and so on.

As long as there are enough disaster victims, even a prosperous dynasty cannot withstand it.

It seems.

When Shimen set up the Yellow Wind Monster, they also wanted to use the huge number of disaster victims to destroy him as well.

Such a method of using others to kill is exactly what Shimen is best at, just like the Black Wind Town City God.

However!

For him, these troublesome victims, which are extremely tricky for ordinary dynasties and even immortals, are a very simple matter.

He just needs to exit the game and buy some food in the real world, which consumes a bit of worldly wealth.

"First, they rewarded me with a huge amount of incense money, and now they sent me so many people. I… 1 really thank you!" Xuanqing chuckled coldly.

Of course.

Before exiting the game, first collect the incense money in the temple. It's unknown how much was wasted in these six years.

Back in the Divine Realm.

Xuanqing's gaze penetrated the Divine Realm and looked at the altar in the temple.

He saw that the Gathering Qi Beads placed on it were already overflowing, and a large cluster of incense around it was slowly disappearing.

"Six years' worth of wasted incense, it's such a pity!"

When he broke through, he didn't expect to go on a divine journey to the Heavenly Court, even his physical body was taken away by Ancestor Master.

With a thought.

[Ding-2o,ooo ingots]

First, recharge all the incense in the Gathering Qi Beads into ingots.

Afterward.

His mana surged, condensing into a pair of illusory big hands, trying to scoop up the scattered incense floating in the air.

[Ding-589 ingots]

"In the real world, half a year has passed, the Gathering Qi Beads must be overflowing."

Xuanqing shook his head.

Although the amount of wasted incense cannot be compared with the harvest in the Douluo Palace, the losses could have been avoided.

After dealing with the incense matter.

He thought about what he needs to do next in his mind.

First: Solve the resentment over Black Wind Town to cultivate the Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter bestowed by Ancestor Master.

Second: Carry out the cultivation of the Refining Spirit to Emptiness realm.

"To solve the first point, when 1 return to the real world, I'll buy some food to support them temporarily, then find a way to make them self-sufficient and completely transform them into ordinary people!"

"The second point of Refining Spirit to Emptiness cultivation…"

Thinking of the second point.

Xuanqing couldn't help but reveal a smile.

This trip to the Douluo Palace in the Heavenly Court not only allowed him to refine his Body of Merits, but it also advanced his Refining Spirit to Emptiness realm by at least half.

Why do 1 say that?

1 can't help but mention what 'Refining Spirit to Emptiness' is.

If Turning Qi into God is using the physical body to absorb spiritual Qi to nourish the God Soul, then Refining Spirit to Emptiness is using the God Soul to nourish the physical body in return.

During the Refining Spirit to Emptiness realm, the Yin and Yang transformed God Soul needs to be dispersed and merged into the various parts of the physical body, thereby activating the Yin and Yang transformation of the physical body.

In the end.

When the Yin and Yang transformed physical body and the Yin and Yang transformed God Soul completely merge, then one can achieve the realm of an immortal!

"In the Eight Trigram Furnace, the power of my God Soul has been dispersed and merged into my physical body."

"Which means, the next cultivation only requires accumulating enough energy to complete the physical body's transformation!"

"If it's just accumulating energy… I can use the Time Acceleration (Plants) function to mass-produce spiritual medicine and refine it into pills!"

Xuanqing thought to himself.

He looked around.

He now had six hundred thousand Ingots left.

"Every year I accelerate the growth of plants, it costs ten Ingots. Six hundred thousand Ingots can accelerate growth for six hundred thousand years!"

Xuanqing's eyes sparkled.

Now, he needs to consider whether to distribute the Ingots or to put all Ingots into one plant..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 105: Chapter 104:100 Tons of Flour!

Translator: 549690339

When the medicinal properties have matured to a certain extent, they bring about qualitative changes, not just a simple linear addition.

"1 wonder if the spiritual Qi from Azure Dragon Mountain and Black Wind Mountain can withstand the growth of a sixty-thousand-year-old Ginseng!"

Xuanqing slightly frowned.

The use of the 'Time Acceleration (Plants)' function not only consumes Ingots but also requires the corresponding growth environment for the plants.

When he accelerated the growth of nine Ghost Grass plants before, it dried up the entire Land of Darkness—the City God was nearly exhausted to death.

"Forget it, 1'11 be cautious about it. It wouldn't be good if 1 accidentally killed the Earth Gods of Black Wind Mountain and Azure Dragon Mountain."

Xuanqing shook his head.

The acceleration of elixir refining by using spiritual medicine is not urgent. He must first return to the real world and bring some food to Black Wind Town to dispel the resentment in the air above the town.

It happened to be.

Six years had passed in Black Wind Town. Consequently, half a year had also passed in the real world.

A full half a year.

He wondered if anything had happened in the real world.

With such thoughts.

With a movement of mind.

"Exit the game!"

The real world.

Qingping Temple.

In the master bedroom in the inner courtyard, a Taoist sitting with crossed legs on the cushion suddenly opened his eyes.

"Phew-"

Xuanqing took a long breath.

The half-year of still sitting did not bring the slightest discomfort to his physical body. On the contrary, he felt invigorated and refreshed. This benefit was due to breaking through to the Refining Spirit to Emptiness stage in cultivation, and the Body of Merits that he had refined in the Eight Trigram Furnace.

The first thing to do.

Charge his phone, then switch it on.

"As expected, half a year has passed here!" Xuanqing said, looking at the date on his phone.

By this calculation,

One day in the Heavenly Court in the game world is equivalent to thirty-six days in the real world.

"It appears, if 1 want to ascend to Heavenly Court in the game world in the future, 1 must be very mindful of this issue with the speed of time passage." "Now, first go and collect the incense in Taoist temple!"

With a shift in thoughts.

A semi-transparent shadow drifted out of Xuanqing's physical body and flew towards the main hall of the Taoist temple.

Inside the main hall.

The incense guests were bustling, causing quite a scene.

Qingping Temple, as it is now.

Is famous all across Yan Country. It is commonly known that stepping into the main hall of Qingping Temple can bring one tranquility.

Ever since the last Inheritance Temple Ceremony, the video of the six-year-old Taoist boy defeating the Twin Dragon Monk had spread across the internet, adding a layer of mystery to the already extraordinary Qingping Temple.

"Fellow laymen, scan the code to get incense on the side. It's two yuan per hit. Remember to first burn incense to the main God of the Temple, burn three sticks of incense and knock "

The tender voice echoed in the main hall—it was Huai Qingyun, the little Taoist boy, maintaining order as usual.

However.

Compared to his usual seriousness, Huai Qingyun appeared somewhat absent-minded at this moment.

While Huai Qingyun was chanting, his eyes were directly staring at the space above God's tablet.

Swirl-

He wiped the corner of his mouth and swallowed, trying his best not to look at the enticing heaps of incense.

"How come Sir hasn't returned yet. If this incense dissipates, that… that would be such a waste, sob sob sob… it's so heartbreaking!"

Just when Huai Qingyun was biting his lip, his heart aching.

The incense above the God's tablet suddenly lessened and disappeared completely within seconds.

"Huh?"

Huai Qingyun was shocked, thinking that something had gone wrong.

Suddenly.

A familiar figure appeared before him. It was Xuanqing, who had sent his spirit out of his body to collect incense.

"Sir?"

Huai Qingyun stared wide-eyed, mouth slightly open.

"Qingyun, 1 must say you have definitely surprised me!" admiration shone in Xuanqing's eyes.

With his current level of cultivation, how could he not notice that after a full half-year, his child had not stolen a single bit of incense power.

You need to understand.

The power of incense, for a spirit like Huai Qingyun who had been awakened, was undoubtedly a huge attraction.

This point.

Could be gleaned from the moisture on Qingyun's chest, caused by a large amount of drool.

Luckily the drool of the spirit did not stink, instead, it has an aroma of plants. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.

"Sir., what has surprised you?"

Huai Qingyun tilted his head, pretending not to understand, but the mischief flashing in his eyes betrayed him.

"Hmm, playing dumb!"

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.

Sometimes, good behavior is relative. It was only after seeing the other children of the Ancestor Master that he realized how good Qingyun was!

With a thought.

Xuanqing took out the Gathering Qi Bead, separated a small amount from it, about the quantity of a hundred ingots of incense power.

"This is your reward!"

Huai Qingyun was thrilled, gulping down the incense power reward, and then closed his eyes to savor it.

After a while.

When he opened his eyes again, Sir was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment.

Xuanqing's spirit had already returned to his physical body.

He took out his phone and dialed Yang Ying's number.

Beep- Beep

The call connected.

"Daoist Priest, you., finally came out of seclusion!" Yang Ying on the other end of the phone, her tone slightly excited.

She had long since come to rely heavily on Xuanqing. If she didn't know that the daoist priest had divine powers and was likely in closed-door cultivation, she would probably have gone mad with worry by now.

"Daoist priest, I have many things to report to you, are you still in the courtyard?"

Xuanqing said into the phone, "Don't rush to report anything first, go and buy one hundred tons of flour and send it to the Back Mountain of Qingping Mountain. Price is not a concern, it is needed today!"

"Fl… flour, one hundred tons?" Yang Ying's voice faltered, as if something was stuck in her throat.

Quickly.

She got over it.

"Okay, 1'11 contact them now!"

She is a smart person and has been working for the daoist priest for a long time. Naturally, she knew what should be done in daily life.

Call ended.

Xuanqing was in a good mood.

Those disaster victims in Black Wind Town, they might be a big problem for the people in the Journey to the West World, but for him, it was just a matter of a word.

This point.

Even the myriad gods and Buddhas couldn't do it, or rather, they didn't want to do it.

After all, compared to the huge karma, the merits they would earn were somewhat unprofitable.

As the saying goes, there are always people willing to do business at a loss, but no one is willing to engage in loss-making business. That is the truth.

The time was now evening.

After all the incense guests had dispersed.

A series of trucks laden with flour traveled along the asphalt road of Qingping Mountain, leading the convoy was a black business car.

In the end.

The entire convoy stopped at the end of the road at the back of the mountain.

After getting out of the car, Yang Ying saw the daoist priest standing by the roadside. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over briskly.

"Daoist Priest!"

"Immeasurable longevity and fortune, tell them to unload the flour here, right on this ground!" Xuanqing said solemnly.

"Yes, Daoist Priest!"

After not seeing him for a full six months, although she had a lot of things to say, the most important thing right now was to complete the task assigned by the Daoist Priest..

Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Three Tasks!

Translator: 549690339

As two layers of moisture-resistant plastic film were laid on the ground, bags of flour were moved down from the trucks.

The driver and transport workers were very curious about why so much flour was being transported to this mountain.

But after all, flour is not a prohibited item, and adhering to the principle that the customer is always right, they did not dare to ask too many questions and just did their jobs honestly.

In a short while.

A whole one hundred tons of flour was piled up on this piece of empty land, forming a small hill-like size.

Yang Ying decisively settled the balance.

Rumble-

Accompanied by a roar, the trucks left the top of the mountain one by one, leaving only a black business car, Yang Ying, and Xuanqing holding a duster.

Looking at the Daoist priest standing beside her.

Yang Ying's heart was actually a little nervous and scared, ever since the Daoist priest gave her the two jade brands, she had never encountered such a situation.

"Daoist priest, do you have any instructions?"

"Nothing else, you can go on your own."

Xuanqing waved his hand.

Now the disaster victims of Black Wind Town were waiting for this flour, he wouldn't stay in the real world for too long.

"Well… I'll go first, if there's anything you need, just give me a call!" Yang Ying nodded and got back into the car.

After a slight hesitation.

Yang Ying rolled the car window down again, "Daoist priest, the twelve Taoist temples are almost completed, what about…?"

"In three to five days, 1 will contact you!" Xuanqing waved his hand and said indifferently.

"All right."

After receiving her boss's command, Yang Ying's worries disappeared, and she drove away from the place.

For her, there was no better job than the current one. Her boss didn't limit her in any way, the salary and benefits were excellent, and with the mysterious Daoist priest, who knows what bigger opportunities might arise in the future.

Watching the black business car leave.

Actually.

Just a moment ago.

Xuanqing had quietly speculated about the situation in his heart when he saw Yang Ying driving the business car.

To his relief, there was no trace of ill-gotten wealth on Yang Ying, proving that she had not embezzled the money he had left behind.

"Not bad, it saved me a lot of trouble!"

Xuanqing looked at the mountain-like pile of flour and nodded approvingly in his heart.

The next moment.

Mana from his body formed into a pair of illusory giant hands, which scooped up the flour and put a large piece into the game backpack.

In no time.

The mountain-like pile of flour that was just there had been completely put into the game backpack.

"My game backpack, apart from not having the ability to capture people, is only for storing things, but it's not worse than Qiankun in his sleeve."

Xuanqing thought to himself.

Even if the one hundred tons of flour was put into the game backpack, it was only occupying an insignificant corner inside.

Afterward.

He returned to his room.

"Enter the game!"

Black Wind Town.

Within the Divine Realm.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

Half a day's time in the real world had already been a week in the game.

"The resentment is getting stronger!"

Before.

Only by using his spirit out-of-body technique, he could feel the aura of disaster in the air above the small town. But now, even in the Divine Realm, he could sense it.

After that.

Xuanqing used the jade brand on his waist to summon all his subordinates and instructed them to come to the Divine Realm to have a meeting.

In a moment.

The four little gods, the two demons, and Qingwan all arrived.

"We pay our respects to Sir!"

"No need for formalities!"

Xuanqing raised his hand slightly to the crowd, and then asked the Black Wind Town's Land God, "How is the situation in Black Wind Town now?"

"Reporting to Sir, if we ration the food reserve carefully in our town, we can hold on for at most one more week," replied the Black Wind Town's Land God.

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded. The reason he didn't stay too long in the real world was that he was worried that Black Wind Town couldn't hold on any longer.

Right away,

he said, "The influx of a large number of disaster victims into Black Wind Town is both a disaster and an opportunity."

"I have here 1660 shi of grain for disaster relief and rescue."

With that,

he took out the flour from his game backpack, and while he took out the flour, he intercepted the packaging bags with text and brand inside the game backpack.

Thus,

what appeared before everyone was a small mountain-like pile of pure white flour, which seemed like snowflakes.

Although this world also has flour, it is a kind of yellowish powder with many small particles.

"Sir… is this flour?"

Everyone had never seen such fine flour before.

"Yes, this flour can be used to make noodles or steamed buns," Xuanqing nodded.

"Divide this flour into two parts, one part mixed with grass, wood, sand, and stone to be used for dispensing porridge for disaster relief."

"The other part is used for employing disaster victims to replace relief, to build houses, organize farming, and distribute wages!"

Xuanqing looked at everyone,

thought for a moment,

and made the following personnel arrangements.

"Black Wind Town's Land God, you land gods are gods of the earth, unable to intervene in the matters of the living, so make use of your divine authority to monitor whether there are any people among the disaster victims with ulterior motives."

"Black Bear, Qingxu, and Qingwan, you three shall issue an announcement in Black Wind Town to recruit talented people, and organize the government institutions in Black Wind Town, and be responsible for providing disaster relief."

Everyone agreed one after another.

In Black Wind Town,

Qingwan, Black Bear, and Qingxu were walking together.

The three of them were assigned to set up government institutions and provide disaster relief. The pressure was relatively high.

"Little Brother Bai She, what do you think we should do?" The Black Bear Essence scratched his neck and asked with a wicker voice.

Upon hearing this,

Gentleman Bai She pondered for a moment.

"Sir has given us three tasks: distributing disaster relief food, setting up a government institution, recruiting displaced people to build houses."

"Qingwan, you and your great-grandfather make pancakes and distribute them for disaster relief in the town. Don't forget Sir's command to mix some grass, wood, and mud into the pancakes."

"Big Brother Black Bear, you recruit displaced people at the place where Qingwan is distributing food, and you can also deter those displaced people to prevent chaos."

"As for setting up the government, I will handle it," said Gentleman Bai She with a solemn voice.

The Black Bear Essence nodded in agreement, indicating that he had no problem.

On the side,

Qingwan hesitated slightly and asked, "Bai… Uncle Qingxu, why does Sir want us to mix things into the pancakes? Won't they be hard to eat?"

Upon hearing this,

Gentleman Bai She laughed and shook his head, "This relief food is for the disaster victims. If they weren't made to taste somewhat unpalatable, ordinary people would also come to ask for them, and there would never be enough food to distribute."

"Oh, 1 see," said Qingwan, biting her lip, finally understanding Sir's intentions.

With that,

the entire divine organization of Black Wind Town began to operate like a well-oiled machine.

Soon,

a high platform was built in the center of the streets of Black Wind Town, the old temple attendant of Black Wind Town's Earth temple and the twelve-year-old Qingwan began to distribute relief food on the platform.

At the side, a table was set up and a black bear essence several feet tall, with pitch black all over his body, was sitting there; he recruited building workers from the displaced people while distributing the pancakes..

Chapter 107: Chapter 106: In the name of the divine, gather the prosperous Qi!

Translator: 549690339

"Free food is being distributed, free pancakes! Hurry to the town's cross street!"

Countless refugees spread the word.

For some time now, although the Earth temple provided a bowl of thin porridge every day, it was barely enough to keep them alive, leaving them starving with their front chest sticking to their back.

The tattered refugees arrived at the town's central street and indeed found a high platform set up with piles of pancakes akin to a mountain.

Instantly.

Their eyes gleamed, and they rushed toward it.

"So many pancakes, give me some, give me!"

"Don't push me, I'm starving to death."

"Charge and grab pancakes to eat."

As the saying goes, hungry people are half-human, half-beast, and this was demonstrated vividly at this moment.

Seeing this scene.

Qingwan's face turned pale.

Though her cultivation had reached the Qi-Condensation Late Stage after six years of practice, she hadn't practiced any spells and couldn't fend off so many starving refugees.

However.

The Black Bear Essence stood up from behind the pancakes, opened its huge mouth, and roared at the crowd.

"Roar- everyone behave, line up to get pancakes!"

After roaring.

Boom- Boom, boom-

The massive bear paws pounded on its chest, producing deafening sounds while emitting a ferocious and brutal aura.

Such a ferocious scene.

The refugees were terrified, their legs trembling. If not for the tempting aroma of the pancakes, they would have run away already.

And so.

Under the deterrence of the Black Bear Essence, the refugees obediently lined up and received the pancakes mixed with grass and earth.

Starving refugees devoured the pancakes instantaneously, seemingly unaware of the earth and grass in them.

"So delicious, so satisfying."

"Thank you, Fairy Lady. Thank you, Fairy Lady. It's so delicious."

"Pah- What is that strange taste?"

"Hehe, sir, you can't read, can you? Didn't you see the note saying that the pancakes are mixed with earth and grass?"

Whenever someone received the pancakes,

The Black Bear Essence would ask: "Here to recruit workers for reclamation?

Food is provided three times a day, and monthly salary is a hundred copper coins."

Those who were willing to work would register with him.

Although the Black Bear Essence appeared rough, it was a literate demon capable of reading Taoist scriptures.

On the other side.

Yue Lai Inn.

As the most luxurious restaurant in the small town, many traveling merchants and store owners from the town liked to gather here.

At this moment.

About twenty people wearing clean robes and a look of panic on their faces gathered here. They varied in age from old to young.

The only similarity between them was that each of them emitted the aura of being well-educated.

In the middle of the inn.

Gentleman Bai She wore a smile.

"My fellow villagers, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad guy!"

As soon as he said this,

The people in the inn became even more frightened.

They were originally staying at home when suddenly a demonic wind swept them into the Yue Lai Inn.

"This…this demon…immortal, why have you summoned us here? What are your orders?" An old man with a goatee trembled as he asked.

"The old man asks well, 1 am…"

"From now on, Black Wind Town will be directly managed by the Taiji Right Palace Master Immortal Official of Shangqing Division, Record Keeper, and Thunder Commander. He has instructed me to organize…"

"I have already learned from Black Wind Town's Land God that you are all of upright character. The establishment of the town government will be selected from among you…"

Gentleman Bai She explained his origins and the purpose of gathering everyone here.

Upon hearing these words,

Suddenly!

Everyone in the inn started whispering and discussing.

"Old Li, our Black Wind Town is located on the border of two countries, and it has indeed been difficult without a government all these years."

"It's indeed inappropriate without a government. 1 still remember those villains who were killed by Left Judge Grand Lord six years ago."

"It's good that Immortal Grandpa leads the establishment of a government, which can be trusted!"

After everyone had discussed for a while,

Gentleman Bai She raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then continued: "Today, right here, we will hold a vote to elect the various positions of the town government."

"The first position to be elected is the town head. There are some blank papers here; each of you will take one and write down your choice anonymously…"

It must be said that,

Among the many demons, Gentleman Bai She is one of the few who can refine pills. His mind is very flexible.

Knowing the urgency of the matter, he quickly completed the task assigned by the lord, cutting through the chaos and holding a direct vote to establish the basic framework of the town government office.

As for the details, they can be dealt with later on.

Several days later.

The original disaster aura hovering over Black Wind Town had completely dissipated, replaced by a thick vitality that burst forth. People, in any era, are the most fundamental power.

In the Divine Realm,

Xuanqing naturally sensed the changes in his territory.

"I didn't expect Gentleman Bai She to be not only talented in alchemy but also quite capable in handling internal affairs!"

He was well aware that,

The disaster aura had dissipated in just a few days, naturally because the structure of the town government office had been successfully established.

With the management of the government office, it is greatly beneficial for ordinary residents as well as refugees fleeing from calamities.

"It's time to practice the 'Destiny Controlling Dragon Technique'!" Xuanqing's eyes flashed with brilliance.

He wanted to see just how powerful this divine technique bestowed by his Ancestor Master was, since even the game system highly rated its power.

With a thought,

An invisible shadow emerged from his physical body, left the Divine Realm, and drifted towards the sky above Black Wind Town.

Arriving above Black Wind Town,

"Such abundant vitality!"

In his God Soul state,

Xuanqing was more sensitive to the town's Qi and could clearly sense the Qi belonging to the 'Prosperity of the Human Path'.

He sat cross-legged in the void.

From his body, the divine aura of the 'Taiji Right Palace Master Immortal Official of Shangqing Division, Record Keeper, and Thunder Commander* emanated.

"Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter" was originally the divine power of the Ancient Human Emperor. Before leading the human race, it could only be replaced by the divine authority of Shinto.

"In the name of Shinto, condense the Qi of Human Path Prosperity!"

Hum hum

in the void,

An incredibly overbearing and powerful aura spread throughout Black Wind Town.

At this moment,

Xuanqing found that within the divine authority range of his 'Controller of the Right Palace of the Taiji, Upper Purity, Responsible for the Sutra Signatures, the power of Qi Luck became active.

These Qi Luck powers were based on the Qi of 'Human Path Prosperity', which then mobilized all forces within its scope, such as the movement of earth veins, the vitality of plants, and the Yin Qi of the Netherworld and so on..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Speeding up Ginseng Fruit?

"Hoo~'

Xuanqing's eyes narrowed, emanating an unprecedented sharpness.

With a thought in his mind,

the Immortal Official Document at his waist flew into the air.

"Condense!"

Accompanied by a loud shout,

Black Wind Town suddenly became windy; and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

All of the humans within this range felt a strange thought emerging in their minds, as if they had merged with the entire Black Wind Town.

Gradually,

The Human Path Destiny in the sky condensed into a fist-sized sphere; one could faintly see a golden dragon wriggling and flipping within rhe sphere.

"Qi Luck Golden Pearl…complete!"

Xuanqing opened his right hand,

and the hovering sphere, seemingly full of life, slowly drifted down and settled on his palm.

With a thought,

"Qi Luck Golden Pearl": Condensed from the destiny of sentient beings in the Human Path, it can enhance a player's power and carries a special effect of sentient beings' thoughts.

Note: Although this golden pearl holds great power, it also bears tremendous karmic consequences. Players should use it cautiously.

"What a mysterious power!" Xuanqing couldn't help but exclaim.

The strength of this Qi Luck Golden Pearl condensed from Human Path Destiny is not very high, but it is extremely mysterious.

Especially the special sentient beings' thoughts within it. Compared to the resentful power of incense emanated by Guanyin's previous scheme against him, its at least several times stronger.

Hard to imagine.

However,

how it actually works can only be known after testing.

Xuanqing's thoughts surged,

"Qi Luck Golden Pearl, support my body!"

In an instant,

a dazzling light radiated, coating his body in a layer of golden hue, as if he had transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Xuanqing closed his eyes, carefully sensing his current state.

His cultivation had increased by about twice.

However,

Xuanqing's cultivation was not very high at rhe moment, so even doubling it didn't make much of a difference.

Apart from the increase in cultivation,

more importantly,

he found that every one of his actions now carried the thoughts of all sentient beings in Black Wind Town, and beneath this force of thoughts, there was a tremendous power of karma.

Not to exaggerate,

with one punch,

he might not be able to kill the opponent due to his low cultivation; but the sentient beings' thoughts carried in this punch could cause the opponent to die from bad luck, suffer from qigong deviation at the mild end, or even encounter Heavenly Punishment at the extreme!

Of course,

during this process, the user who gets the support of Golden Pearl would also suffer a certain backlash from the thoughts of sentient beings.

"So that's how it is!"

"This is the true meaning of the enormous power but bearing karmic consequences mentioned in the game description."

Xuanqing looked at his fist.

That is to say, if he encountered a powerful enemy, even if he couldn't kill them, he could use this mysterious and domineering power of karma to poison them to death.

"It's a pity that this power can only be used within the scope of my Divine Authority; otherwise, 1 could go and experience it with the Yellow Wind Monster!"

Back to the Divine Realm.

Xuanqing begins to contemplate his plan for the future.

Now that the Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter's divine power has been initially refined, to continue its improvement, it's not only about having the cultivation talent, but also the corresponding divine authority and human path power.

In other words,

Nour the focus should be on returning to the original cultivation realm improvement.

Refining Spirit to Emptiness is the process of fusing the god soul with the physical body, making the real into emptiness, and transforming the physical body into a process of extreme yin and yang.

As for his physical body, it had already completed the transformation in the Eight Trigram Furnace, and the reason it was still in the realm of Refining Spirit to Emptiness was due solely to the lack of energy.

"Now, with six hundred thousand ingots remaining, it's enough to accelerate the growth of a sixty-thousand-year-old ginseng."

"However, accelerating the growth of plants requires not only the consumption of ingots but also a corresponding environment. The current state of Azure Dragon Mountain and Black Wind Mountain may not be enough! "

Xuanqing frowns.

Suddenly,

A flash of inspiration crosses his mind, giving birth to a somewhat crazy but extraordinarily brilliant idea.

Why must he be confined to accelerating ginseng?

And why must he be confined to using time acceleration here in Azure Dragon Mountain and Black Wind Mountain?

Just like when he accelerated the growth of Soul Condensing Grass before, it was because of its characteristics that he accelerated it in the Land of Darkness at the shady side of Black Wind Town.

"In this world, there are many, many miraculous plants, but the ones that are edible and still exist are the Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach and Ginseng Fruit."

Xuanqing's face shows a touch of excitement.

Maybe.

Before going to Douluo Palace, he wouldn't consider this direction because the ability of 'time acceleration' might attract trouble if exposed.

Although he can be infinitely resurrected, it would still cause trouble in the end, and even more so if he were sealed, he would have to restart his account, and all his cultivation would be wasted.

"The Nine Thousand Years Flat Peach of the Heavenly Court is not considered for now, and since one day in heaven equals one year on earth, the time gap is too large and inconvenient! "

"So there is only one choice left…"

"The Ginseng Fruit Tree in Great Immortal Zhenyuan s Wuzhuang Temple!" Xuanqing's breathing becomes somewhat heavy.

In the legend.

This Ginseng Fruit Tree blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and only ripens after another three thousand years. It yields only thirty fruits in its full cycle of nine thousand years.

Just smelling one can extend one s life by three hundred and sixty years, and eating one can extend one's life by forty thousand years.

One can imagine how terrifying the energy contained within the Ginseng Fruit is, let alone a sixty-thousand-year-old ginseng, even a hundred-thousand-year-old ginseng cannot compare to it.

"Although I haven't directly become a disciple of Ancestor Master yet, 1 am considered a disciple's disciple, and I have the duster that was bestowed by Ancestor Master."

"Moreover, Great Immortal Zhenyuan is a close friend of Ancestor Master, as long as I go there and humbly ask for help and promise some rewards, I will surely be rewarded with some Ginseng Fruits."

Xuanqing secretly thinks to himself.

With the six hundred thousand ingots he has now, it's enough to add sixty thousand years of real age to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, equivalent to allowing it to bear six batches of fruits.

A full six batches-

Thirty Ginseng Fruits per batch, totaling one hundred and eighty fruits!

Just imagine,

With so many Ginseng Fruits, if converted into lifespan, one fruit can extend one's life by forty-seven thousand years, enough to live for more than eight million years.

The more he thinks about it, the more his heart races.

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing inhales sharply.

Eight million years! It's an unimaginable concept. Even in the real world, the entire history of human civilization is less than ten thousand years.

Go!

He must go!

Xuanqing makes up his mind.

Head to Wuzhuang Temple and find Great Immortal Zhenyuan. If successful, no need to mention one hundred and eighty Ginseng Fruits, even if it's only eighteen Ginseng Fruits, it would be enough for him to cultivate into an immortal.

On second thought,

Even if rhe other party disagrees, he has no grudge against them and, as a junior cultivator and a genuinely Daoist Immortal Official, at most he will lose face; the other party won't kill him, let alone seal him..

Moreover.

As a disciple of the Old Lord, and one who was granted the treasure Duster, even if he went to the territory of Western Buddhism, they would give him some respect, at least superficially.

With this in mind!

Xuanqing immediately informed his subordinates through his Immortal Official's Jade Seal, stating that he would be traveling for a while and instructing them to carefully watch over Black Wind Town.

"Set off!"

Leaving Black Wind Town.

Xuanqing flies in the direction of West Niu Hezhou.

To reach Wuzhuang Temple at Longevity Mountain, he would have to cross the entire Wusi Tibetan Empire and pass through Liusha River.

On the way.

Xuanqing adjusts the divine power of his Immortal Official Jade Seal at his waist to the maximum.

He has no choice.

Who would have thought that he is not even an immortal now? While he could dominate in the real world, in this game, he is still a rookie without a doubt.

Riding on the lucky cloud.

In a short while, he arrived at the Wusi Tibetan territory.

Looking around.

It was a vast yellow sand that could not be seen by the naked eye.

The sun in the sky, shining on the yellow sand, caused the heat waves on the ground to roll, forming one circle of ripples after another.

"That Yellow Wind Monster is ruthless, blowing such stormy sand all over the place. With such a huge cause and effect, even with the protection of Buddhism, their cultivation would have no progress."

Xuanqing silently marveled.

He didn't expect that Buddhism would be willing to pay such a huge price to deal with him, even at the cost of sacrificing the future of the Yellow Wind Monster.

Just as Xuanqing stepped into the sky full of yellow sand.

On the other side.

In the hinterland of the Wusi Tibetan Empire.

Atop a massive mountain, unlike the other places covered in yellow sand, here is lush vegetation, vibrant greenery, and a very nice environment.

Huh?

A yellow-haired demon wearing golden armor, a cloak, a brocade helmet, and red skin, uttered a sound of surprise.

He was seen closing his eyes, chanting to himself.

In an instant.

Flying sand and walking stone appeared, yellow sand filled the sky, raging in the cave.

"It's that little Taoist who the Bodhisattva asked me to deal with!" Yellow Wind Monster's eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.

"The catastrophe aura caused by driving so many people away before, did not kill him?"

Suddenly.

His eyes turned around in their sockets.

"Since the disaster aura didn't kill you, why not… Hehehe-"

The Yellow Wind Monster couldn't help but laugh weirdly. His whole body turned into a mass of yellow sand, and he disappeared into the sky in the cave.

In the yellow sand-filled sky.

Xuanqing stepped on the lucky cloud, holding a duster in his hand.

Along with the divine power emanated from the Immortal Official's Jade Seal at his waist, he almost looked like an immortal if one did not observe his cultivation carefully.

"I wonder if the Yellow Wind Monster will attack me directly!" Xuanqing thought while flying.

He was not too worried.

After all, the matter of Infinite Resurrection was known to Guanyin, the Five Guardian Buddhas, and his Ancestral Master. It was likely that all the higher-ups in this world would know about it.

In fact.

Infinite Resurrection, although against the heavens in this world, was not unique. For example, the ancestor of the Netherworld Blood Sea, known as the eternal immortal as long as the blood sea does not dry out.

Or the notorious and rampant evil spirit of resentment and desire in the Three Realms, as long as there is desire and negative emotions in the world, it will exist forever.

However.

The difference between him and these other resurrecting beings was that death had no loss and allowed him to live more unrestrainedly.

It's true that the more you think about something, the more likely it is to happen.

Whoosh-

A gust of yellow sand wind blew over at an extremely fast speed, blocking his path.

Xuanqing stopped.

He could only see the yellow sandstorm slowly dispersing, revealing a yellow-haired demon wearing golden armor, a cloak, a brocade helmet, and red skin.

It's none other than., the Yellow Wind Monster!

"Ha! Taoist, there's a road to Heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to Hell but you break in!" The Yellow Wind Monster exclaimed, waving its three-pronged steel fork.

It's worth mentioning-

In this era, the term 'Heaven' in his words does not refer to a religion in the post-modern west, it means 'a good place' or 'blessed land'.

At this moment-

Looking at the arrogant Yellow Wind Monster in front of him-

Xuanqing's eyes narrowed –

"I am Heaven's appointed Secondary Seventh-Rank Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books, Thunderclap Capital Affairs!"

H

Do you really want to attack me?"

Upon hearing this-

"Hehehe, hehe-"

The Yellow Wind Monster burst into laughter and immediately mocked, "No matter who you are in this land of yellow sand, once my demonic wind blows, you won't be able to retain your soul!"

"At that time… Heaven won't know, Earth won't understand, I will take this to Bodhisattva for reward, hehe-he."

As soon as his words finished –

The Yellow Wind Monster opened his mouth wide and placed his fingertips square in front of it-

"Samadhi Divine Wind!"

Whoosh-

An incredibly enchanting wind and sand blew out, which had the same power as Samadhi True Fire, a divine wind with a Five Elements wind attribute.

As the wind blew-

Flying sand and walking stones –

Cold winds swirled, and the world changed; Invisible yellow sand spun and pierced through forests and hills, toppling pines and plums, churning the earth and raising dust.

Those with low cultivation would be slashed by the divine wind in an instant, their flesh cut, bones reduced to ashes, and their souls scattered.

Even Monkey King with Golden Immortal Peak strength, when struck by this wind, although his body remained intact, his eyes were blinded.

Just as the divine wind blew out-

Suddenly-

A reprimand came from afar-

Gold lotuses billowed in the sky, the Sanskrit chant resounded, an Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with a jade purifying bottle in hand, stepping on a lucky cloud, and wearing a white veil appeared.

"Bold demon, stop!"

However-

By the time Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's words f ell –

The divine wind had already blown out of its mouth and could not be taken back.

In an ins tant –

Xuanqing's flesh was blown away, his bones turned into ashes. Fortunately, he put the duster in the game backpack before dying, otherwise, his equipment would have been lost.

Seeing this scene –

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's face was frosty –

She never expected this Yellow Wind Monster to be so foolish-

If it could have killed his opponent directly, why let him take the detour of the Yellow Sand Man Empire, driving the disaster aura route?

There's no fear of cunning enemies, only fear of foolish teammates.

"Bodhi.. Bodhisattva, wasn't it you who asked me to.."

"Shut up, evil creature!"

Avalokitesvara's face darkened further, and she drew out the willow branches from the bottle and lashed them against the Yellow Wind Monster's body.

Whack-

An unbearably piercing pain swept over-

The Yellow Wind Monster curled up in agony, its eyes filled with tears as it let out a grievous howl.

At this moment –

A familiar voice sounded-

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, long time no see, I trust you are well!"

Looking toward the source of the voice –

The Yellow Wind Monster's pupils contracted abruptly, almost passing out from fright.

"You., you, you, you.."

Clearly-

This Daoist had been blown away with his flesh and bones scattered, and his soul vanished by the divine wind. How could he now appear intact in front of him?

"It's Daoist Xuanqing. This evil creature has hurt others without reason. The poor monk will not let it go.. If you have something to do, please leave!"

???

A few question marks popped up above his head.

Even though he knew about the shamelessness of the Shimen, he never expected that Guanyin of the Shimen could be so shameless.

Asking him to let it go and leave on his own, was that something a human could say?

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, you are one of the Five Elders of the West and I am still a junior in front of you."

"First, you indulged the Master of Guanyin Zen Temple in committing evil, then you snatched a child from my subordinates, and now you are colluding with a demon to harm me!"

"In this matter, I will definitely involve our Ancestor Master and go to the Jade Emperor of Lingxiao Bao Hall to accuse you!"

Xuanqing sneered.

As soon as his words fell,

He took the all-dust duster given by Taishang Laojun from his game backpack and released the merits and virtues on it.

Seeing this,

Guanyin's pupils shrank slightly.

Combined with Xuanqing's words, "involve our Ancestor Master," it proved that the gaze of the one in the Thirty-Three Heavens had been cast here.

With this thought in mind,

She couldn't help but glare at the Yellow Wind Monster beside her.

What a good monster, it didn't succeed in its plan, but now it has brought her so much trouble.

If this Taoist only had some life-threatening skills and the identity of a Daoist Immortal Officer, it would be fine.

But now that it is involved with that person, things have become difficult to deal with!

Snap-

"Ouch-"

The Yellow Wind Monster held its head and cried out in pain, tears streaming down its face.

A powerful golden immortal demon, so fragile under these slender willow branches, it couldn't even control its tears, and it even felt an unbearable sensation in its lower body.

"Huff-"

Guanyin took a deep breath, and her voice softened a lot.

"Daoist Xuanqing, it is indeed the fault of this poor monk. I don't know what you want to do to let this matter go?"

Hearing this,

Xuanqing was slightly silent.

He was angry, but more so at his own low cultivation level. Cultivators inherently snatch the essence of heaven and earth for themselves, and he is just not as skilled.

Now that Guanyin has conceded, continuing to pursue the matter is meaningless. It is more appropriate to ask for some benefits.

"How to let this matter go is not up to me, but up to how the Bodhisattva intends!" Xuanqing said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out,

Guanyin secretly sighed in her heart.

"Amitabha, this poor monk has a bundle of faith incense, and two drops of innate jade dew. You can choose one of them!"

With that,

She pulled out the willow branches from the bottle, bringing forth two drops of jade dew containing rich innate energy.

On the side,

Seeing the Bodhisattva's actions, the Yellow Wind Monster trembled unconsciously, thinking that it would be beaten again, then realized that the Bodhisattva was trying to cover up its mistakes and could only pray that it would not be held accountable later.

But looking at the jade dew floating in the air,

Guanyin's jade hand made a "Dharma Seal."

A golden light surged from her five fingertips and finally gathered together into a ball, floating beside the jade dew.

So,

One large bundle of faith incense power, and two drops of jade dew.

What would Xuanqing choose?

No.

He didn't intend to choose.

Because only children make choices. As an adult, especially a cultivating adult, he wanted them all.

Opportunity lies before him, and if he doesn't take it, he can hardly be called a cultivator!

As for worrying about offending Guanyin, it's a joke. Would taking only one thing or none at all to repay her kindness, praying for her forgiveness, really make a difference?

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, Ancestor Master once taught me that cultivation is full of difficulties, and one should never give up on opportunities."

So… 1 want the faith incense, and 1 also want those two drops of jade dew!"

Xuanqing's tone was extremely firm.

He gambled that Guanyin, as a big boss, might do some shameless things, but she would definitely not abandon her principles and personally deal with him.

Win the bet, and you win big. Lose the bet, and you can return to the city and resurrect, set up an altar to inform your Ancestor Master. He, Xuanqing… has a backer.

It's just like a demon without a background. If you are killed by Monkey King, you are dead. If you have a background, don't you dare touch a mount or a child!

The situation didn't go beyond expectations.

After hearing Xuanqing's words.

Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, you sly one, fine, I will give you these two items, so I hope you can really put an end to this matter!"

Having said that.

She grabbed the Yellow Wind Monster's neck and disappeared with her lucky cloud.

Indeed, she came in a hurry, left even faster after leaving the treasures, no wonder she has a reputation throughout the Three Realms as the merciful Guan Shi Yin.

Zee zee- truly compassionate.

Did she agree so easily? Could there be any deceit involved?

Looking at the faith incense fire and the two drops of Jade Dew in front of him, Xuanqing couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Fortunately.

He had the game system, so he directly recharged these two things, so whatever tricks the other party had pulled were useless!

Afterwards.

With a whisk of the duster in his hand, both items were rolled up in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Recharge all ingots!"

[Ding! 1680000 ingots]

Hiss-

Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly.

Even though he was as calm as ever, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, Bodhisattva…. you're really compassionate!

There were still over 600,000 ingots left from the one million he got six years ago.

Now.

Another 1.68 million ingots have been given, what does this mean?

At this moment.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart if Guanyin Bodhisattva was simply not liking him or if he was caught in between Buddhism and Daoism. Otherwise, why would she keep giving treasures one after another?

"All, 1 must be more respectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva when 1 see her in the future. After all… well, never mind-" Xuanqing sighed leisurely, but a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Of course.

Deep down, he knew very well that this time, it was all thanks to the protection of his Ancestor Master, otherwise, the result would have been different.

With a thought!

"Open Character Panel!"

[Name: Xuanqing

[Physique: Body of Merits

In the "Ingots" section of the character panel, the original 600,000-plus ingots turned into 2,280,000 ingots.

"How can 1 ever spend so many ingots?"

Xuanqing sighed.

How many ginseng fruits could be produced if all these ingots were used on the Ginseng Fruit Tree?

Three hundred in ninety thousand years, six hundred in one hundred and eighty thousand years… two hundred and twenty thousand years… 1 don't dare to imagine!

"Wuzhuang Temple, here I come!"

Gathering his feelings.

Xuanqing continuously poured mana into the Immortal Official's Jade Seal, releasing the divine power to deter demons and ghosts.

Without the interference from Buddhist demons.

The journey became much easier.

After all.

Not every demon would dare to make a move against a Secondary Seventh-Rank Daoist Immortal Official, even if they were as strong as the Black Bear Essence who only dared to beat up the Black Wind Mountain's Land God.

After flying for a full three months!

Finally.

A towering mountain peak reaching into the clouds came into sight.

West Niu Hezhou, Longevity Mountain…. we've arrived!

Translator: 549690339

Stepping into this Longevity Mountain.

Only to feel the sun shining on the forest, countless red mists wrapping around.

Wind blowing through the shadows, creating colorful clouds fluttering through, mysterious birds singing amongst the green bamboos, golden pheasants fighting amidst the wildflowers.

The height of the mountain.

Even with the Cloud Rider technique, it took a long time to soar.

Finally.

Arriving at the entrance of the Wuzhuang temple.

"Long-Life Immortal Emperor's Palace, alongside Heaven the Daoist House of

Eternal Life."

Xuanqing's eyes looked over.

Just like when he had seen the couplet at Douluo Palace, he felt dizzy and spellbound.

Moving his eyes away, not daring to look more!

"I, a junior named Xuanqing, am a disciple and apprentice of the Old Lord. I have come to pay my respects to Great Immortal Zhenyuan!" Xuanqing made a hand-sign and raised it above his head to show his respect.

Before long.

Two elegant fairy children, one in blue and the other in purple, with their hair coiled up in buns, walked out.

These two were the fairy children of Wuzhuang Temple, one called Qingfeng and the other Mingyue, generally responsible for welcoming guests.

"Daoist, my master has asked us to welcome you. Please come in!"

"Thank you, the two envoys!"

Xuanqing cupped his hands in thanks and uttered a word of gratitude.

Afterward.

After Qingfeng and Mingyue nodded slightly, they led the way quietly, neither warm nor cold in their attitude.

It must be said.

Compared to Jin Ling and Yin Ling in Douluo Palace, the temperament of Qingfeng and Mingyue was more lighthearted and carefree.

Perhaps it was the environment they were in – one side was trapped in the Heavenly Palace refining pills all year round, while the other was exclusively for receiving and welcoming guests.

Entering the mountain gate.

Xuanqing took in the Immortal Blessed Land from the corner of his eye.

A thousand peaks lined up, ten thousand cliffs opened like screens.

Thin vines wrapped around old trees, ancient paths marked the mysterious journey. Strange flowers and auspicious grasses, tall bamboos and pines, always green and bright, teasing the Blessed Land.

In contrast to the flourishing fairy aura of the Heavenly Court, this Wuzhuang Temple exuded the unpretentious Daoist philosophy.

Approaching the entrance of a courtyard.

"Daoist friend, the master is inside. Please go in by yourself!"

" Alright!"

Xuanqing cupped his hands.

Pushing open the door and stepping inside.

Only to see a majestic figure clad in red-orange-yellow robes, with a Daoist hat pin on his head and his hair tied in a bun, his eyebrows and beard falling straight down, truly a god-man.

"Junior Xuanqing, greeting Great Immortal Zhenyuan!"

Xuanqing performed the Daoist ritual, raising it above his head, and respectfully bowed.

The person in front of him was someone who was called a brother by his own ancestor, and his manners couldn't be lacking.

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune! So, you are a disciple of the Old Lord. May I ask for what purpose you have come to my Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang View?" Zhen Yuanzi waved his duster and asked with a smile.

Hearing this.

Facing such a figure as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, it was better to simply state his purpose rather than beat around the bush, lest he displease the other party.

"I heard that in the great immortal's temple, there is a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root called the Ginseng Fruit Tree. The Ginseng Fruits it bears, if someone is fortunate enough to hear them, they will gain three hundred and six more years of life. If eaten, one could live for forty thousand more years!"

"Coincidentally, I possess a divine power that can help spiritual plants seize Heaven and Earth's creation, growing ten thousand years instantly. Therefore… 1 want to borrow the Ginseng Fruit Tree from you."

"At that time… the fruits obtained will be divided into five portions. After taking them, I will break through and become immortal, and 1 will never forget the great immortal's kindness." Xuanqing deeply bowed.

Upon hearing this.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhenyuanzi's eyes.

In fact.

He had also heard about this little Daoist in front of him, who had a weak cultivation base but possessed an undying body, a strong character, and dared to confront Guanyin from Shimen. Later, he learned that he was a disciple of his old friend from Douluo Palace.

But he never thought that, besides his unusual undying body, this man actually had the divine power to make spiritual plants grow ten thousand years in an instant.

Interesting… truly interesting-

"You say that it can make a spiritual plant grow for ten thousand years in an instant, but this Ginseng Fruit Tree of mine is not an ordinary spiritual plant, but one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, rooted in the Chaos, transcending the existence of the Three Realms."

Zhen Yuanzi said indifferently.

Hearing this,

Xuanqing scratched his head.

In fact,

he couldn't guarantee whether his [Time Acceleration (Plants)] function could be used on treasures like the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

But as the saying goes, failure is nothing to lose, but success would be extraordinary.

With this in mind,

Xuanqing bowed again and said solemnly, "1 hope the Great Immortal will give me a chance to try, whether I succeed or fail, I will always remember the kindness of the Great Immortal!"

"Well, since you are so sincere, 1 will do Old Lord a favor and let you try!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan was quite straightforward and gave an immediate answer.

As a matter of fact,

he was also very curious to see how this young Taoist, who had not even shed his mortal body, could make a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root like the Ginseng Fruit Tree grow for ten thousand years in an instant.

Afterwards,

Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved the whisk in his hand and softly called out, "Qingfeng and Mingyue, where are you!"

The two immortals, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately entered the courtyard.

"Disciple is here, Master, what are your orders?"

"This young friend Xuanqing wants to go to the Ginseng Fruit Garden to perform his divine power, you two lead the way!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Qingfeng and Mingyue.

There is only one Ginseng Fruit Tree in the Ginseng Fruit Garden, which is the signature of their Wuzhuang Temple and also the lifeblood of their Master.

Now their Master actually asked them to take this little Daoist, who is not even an immortal, to the Ginseng Fruit Garden to perform his divine power?

How strange- How strange!

However,

although they were puzzled in their hearts, they obediently followed their Master's orders.

"Daoist Friend Xuanqing…please follow us!"

Xuanqing slightly nodded.

After passing through two forests and several bends, and encountering countless mysterious formations along the way, without someone leading the way, it would be impossible to enter the Ginseng Fruit Garden even in death.

Seeing this situation,

Xuanqing pondered in his heart.

Under such circumstances, how did that Wukong manage to secretly steal the Ginseng Fruit without alerting anyone?

There must be something fishy here!

"This is the Ginseng Fruit Garden, Daoist Friend Xuanqing perform your divine power in here, but you must not harm the Ginseng Fruit Tree," Qingfeng admonished.

Mingyue from the side also added, "Outside the fruit garden, there are layers of formations, and there is danger of losing your life if you don't pay attention. If you want to leave, just call for us, don't move around on your own!"

Hearing this,

Xuanqing bowed his hand in salute, "Thank you, both of you, I am aware!"

The two immortals nodded without saying anything and left after closing the door of the fruit garden.

Looking at the Ginseng Fruit Tree in front of him,

the trunk is not tall, about a hundred meters high, and there are many branches at its treetop, with scattered fruits hanging from them.

The fruit is flesh-colored, with limbs, and looks like a baby, giving off a somewhat creepy feeling.

"No wonder Tang Seng dared not eat it!"

Of course,

Xuanqing knew very well that the reason it looked like this was that in this world, humans were the leaders of all living beings.

For example, only demons who practiced to become immortals would take on a human form, but there was no saying that humans who practiced to become immortals would take on the form of demons, which could give a glimpse of this.

"There are originally twenty-six fruits on this tree, so let's just accelerate it for nine thousand years and see if it will increase by thirty!"

Success or failure lies in this move.

"Hoo~"

Xuanqing took a deep breath..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 112: Chapter 111: The Mysterious Process (Seeking Subscription)

Translator: 549690339

"Target Ginseng Fruit Tree, accelerate nine thousand years!"

[Ding! -90000 ingots!]

With the sound of the prompt.

In an instant.

The trunk of the Ginseng Fruit Tree began to tremble, chaotic and wild qi flowing through, its dense roots rolling as if they had come to life.

It worked.

This time acceleration function could actually affect the existence of a Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Nine thousand years.

For ordinary people, it was an unimaginable number, even for immortals, it was a long era.

But for the Ginseng Fruit Tree, which calculates time by the 'convention1, a mere nine thousand years is just a snap of the fingers, only the time for a cycle of fruit to ripen.

Soon.

Thirty crescent-shaped flesh tumors were condensed on the Ginseng Fruit Tree, which was the first three thousand years of the nine thousand years.

These tiny budding bumps were evolutionizing at a terrifying speed, already transforming into the shape of babies, albeit still pale green in color.

By the time the effect of this time acceleration had reached the last three thousand years, the original pale green color gradually deepened.

At last!

All thirty newly grown Ginseng Fruits had turned flesh-colored, indicating that they were all ripe.

Including the original twenty-six Ginseng Fruits.

At this moment, there were a total of fifty-six Ginseng Fruits hanging on the tree!

Seeing this scene.

While Xuanqing was happy, a question arose in his mind.

That was, when the fruit tree was condensing the Ginseng Fruits, there were no fluctuations in the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi.

You have to know.

This time acceleration function was not just capable of accelerating time, it required a corresponding environment to provide nutrients for the plant's growth.

"The Ginseng Fruit is such a precious thing, why doesn't it consume any of the heaven and earth spiritual qi? Did it just pop out of thin air?"

Xuanqing was astonished in his heart.

At this moment.

Suddenly.

A hearty laughter echoed in his ears.

"Hahaha- good, good! Such an Instantaneous Million Years divine power, 1 have truly seen something new today. Your divine power can actually affect this heaven and earth spiritual root!"

He saw that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan was still standing quietly by his side, looking at him with great interest.

"Great Immortal!"

Xuanqing quickly bowed in salute.

"Eh- no need to be polite, 1 didn't expect that young friend Xuanqing actually has such divine powers. Admirable- admirable!"

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand.

He did not say this in jest, he truly admired from the bottom of his heart.

For people like him who are of such a high cultivation level, the concept of time acceleration is not a rare existence. Any superior force could do it.

However.

Being able to accelerate time, or even traverse time, also depends on who the 'target object' is.

If it was an ordinary person, any Daluo Jinxian could do it.

If the target was changed to his Ginseng Fruit Tree, not to mention Daluo Jinxian, even if the Tathagata himself came, it would take a lot of effort to just accelerate its time by a few months.

Now what?

His Ginseng Fruit Tree actually grew by nine thousand years in an instant!

At this moment.

Zhen Yuanzi's evaluation of Xuanqing in his heart greatly increased. If before, he had been saving face for the Old Lord, now he could save face for Xuanqing himself.

"Young friend Xuanqing, you can take these thirty Ginseng Fruits!"

After saying this.

With a wave of his right hand, the thirty Ginseng Fruits on the tree fell down.

In the original text, the phrase "hit with goldware and caught with silk cloth" was just a joke in front of this great immortal Zhen Yuanzi.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing was first taken aback, then he quickly waved his hand, "No, it was agreed before that two or three would add up to five, these thirty fruits were still thanks to the merit of the Great Immortal's tree."

"Once 1 have given it, there is no reason for me to take it back!"

The Great Immortal Zhen Yuan said lightly.

In the end.

He added another sentence: "If you feel like you've taken advantage, next time you have a chance, just use your Instantaneous Million Years divine power on my fruit tree again!"

In the eyes of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, this kind of Instantaneous Million Years divine power must have various restrictions and cannot be used casually.

Because.

He noticed that his Ginseng Fruit Tree's cultivation base had increased by nine thousand years, but it did not suffer any tribulation. This kind of good fortune could not be matched by just thirty Ginseng Fruits.

It's worth mentioning that.

In this world, although there are thousands of years of longevity all the time, it only means that you can live that long. It doesn't mean that you can avoid disasters.

Not to mention others.

His Ginseng Fruit Tree, as one of the ten great heaven and earth spiritual roots, has an infinite lifespan, and it could be said that it lives as long as heaven and earth.

However, every ten thousand years there is a disaster, every Yuan Convention there is a difficulty. If you get through it, naturally everything will be fine. If you can't get through it, no matter how long your lifespan is, it's just a joke.

"Perform divine powers again when there is a chance?"

After hearing this.

Xuanqing thought that this 'Ginseng Fruit Tree' had some restriction. Even if he used acceleration, he couldn't bear fruits continuously.

"I thank the Great Immortal, 1 will definitely come again to perform Instantaneous Million Years divine power. But… Great Immortal, when will your Ginseng Fruit recover?"

Xuanqing bowed his hands and asked.

Now that he knew he could add speed to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, of course he couldn't look at ordinary ginseng and other common things anymore.

"Why does young friend Xuanqing ask me when it can recover? Whenever you can…"

"You just asked when my Ginseng Fruit Tree can recover?"

The Great Immortal Zhen Yuan reacted.

The other party wasn't asking when his divine power could recover, but rather when his Ginseng Fruit Tree could recover.

Could it be…

"Young friend Xuanqing, can you still use this 'Instantaneous Million Years' divine power?" The Great Immortal Zhen Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Hearing this.

Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh.

For quite some time.

It turned out that they both misunderstood each other and thought they couldn't continue.

"Ahem- If the Great Immortal doesn't mind, 1 can continue to use this Instantaneous Million Years divine power."

After some thought.

Xuanqing added: "The two plus three equals five that 1 promised earlier is still valid."

Being thick-skinned is not a problem, but greed is not tolerable. He shouldn't assume that because the other party gave him all the fruits the first time, he would be able to take all the fruits that come afterwards.

"Just perform the divine power first!"

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and did not get entangled in this issue too much.

Maybe for others, the Ginseng Fruit is a precious treasure that enhances cultivation, but for people like him, it's just a 'delicious' treat that brings happiness.

"Alright!"

Xuanqing nodded.

With a thought in his heart.

[Ding! -90000 ingots!]

Along with the deduction of ingots, the Ginseng Fruit Tree trembled violently, its massive roots churned, and thirty more flesh tumors began to form on the branches.

In no time at all.

He saw that another thirty Ginseng Fruits had appeared on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

During this process.

Xuanqing was watching closely throughout.

Just like the previous acceleration, the thirty Ginseng Fruits on the Ginseng Fruit Tree seemed to appear out of thin air, without absorbing even a shred of the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi.

The doubts in his heart, like cat's claws.

Xuanqing couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the Great Immortal why your Ginseng Fruit Tree doesn't absorb even a bit of the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi when it's forming fruits?"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Opening the Altar and Preaching Tao (Seeking Subscription)

Translator: 549690339

Why didn't it absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi?

Great Immortal Zhenyuan stroked his beard and smiled.

"This Ginseng Fruit Tree of mine is a Chaos Variant. It may seem like it is planted in this courtyard, but its roots penetrate the chaos, relying on the absorption of Chaotic Qi to form Ginseng Fruits."

"Otherwise, this mere blessed land of mine cannot support the growth of the Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

Upon hearing this explanation.

Xuanqing had an epiphany.

No wonder he accelerated the Ginseng Fruit Tree twice, and there was no sign of any spiritual energy fluctuation around him. As it turns out, this tree doesn't absorb energy from its surroundings at all.

"Young friend Xuanqing, as before, you can take these thirty Ginseng Fruits! "

In a wave of his hand.

The Ginseng Fruits that just grew on the tree fell, just like before, floating towards Xuanqing.

This time.

Xuanqing only accepted fifteen.

"Please rake back these Ginseng Fruits, Superior Immortal, or my heart will not be at ease." Xuanqing slightly bowed, speaking sincerely.

But Great Immortal Zhenyuan didn't take back the fruits. Instead, he asked, "Young friend, can you still use your divine power?"

"I can use it!'1

"Good, then I'll accept them. You may continue."

Following that.

Under the extremely astonished eyes of Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

One round… two rounds… three rounds… five rounds… ten rounds….

A total of three hundred newly grown Ginseng Fruits were hanging on the tree like numerous stars.

However.

Xuanqings actions were not yet finished.

"Accelerate nine thousand years!"

[Ding! "9OOOO ingots]

"Accelerate nine thousand years!"

[Ding! "90000 ingots]

The number of Ginseng Fruits on the tree kept growing.

From the original three hundred… three hundred and thirty… three hundred and sixty… four hundred and eighty… six hundred… six hundred and thirty! "Alright, alright, that's enough." Zhen Yuanzi's voice trembled slightly, "Young friend Xuanqing, quickly put away your divine power!"

He could already sense.

The Chaos Space where the roots of his Ginseng Fruit Tree resided had started to crack, evidently unable to bear such consecutive absorption.

If ir continued, then rhe Chaos Space might shatter, causing the Ginseng Fruit Tree s roots to dissipate along with ir.

"Alright, 1 will stop now!"

Looking at the newly grown six hundred and thirty Ginseng Fruits on the tree.

Xuanqing felt extremely fulfilled.

Adding up the previous two accelerations, there were a total of twenty-three, leaving him with less than two hundred thousand ingots.

"Great Immortal… should we still split these fruits two to three?" Xuanqing asked, focusing his voice.

"What two to three, I'm keeping a hundred to satisfy my craving, and you can take all the rest!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved his hand.

Compared to the upgrade of his Ginseng Fruit Tree, these hundreds of Ginseng Fruits were of no consequence. He was merely keeping one hundred fruits to satisfy his taste buds.

"But…"

Seeing that Xuanqing was about to say something.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan directly interrupted him, firmly saying, "As rhe ancestor of the Earth Immortals, 1 must not take advantage of a junior!" "Do you understand that after your performance, how much enhancement my Ginseng Fruit Tree has received?"

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing shook his head in confusion.

With his current level of cultivation, apart from being able to see more than six hundred new fruits on the tree, he knew nothing else.

"Living beings receive life easily, but overcoming tribulations is difficult. After this experience, this Ginseng Fruit Tree has gained a free two million years' worth of cultivation."

Zhen Yuanzi spoke with emotion.

Even for him, two million years is a vast number, equivalent to fifteen convention years.

It's worth mentioning that,

In this world, one convention consists of twelve sessions, each session has thirty rounds, each round has twelve cycles, and each cycle lasts thirty years.

So one convention year equates to one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.

"Speaking of which, the improvement of the Ginseng Fruit Tree also significantly enhanced my Longevity Mountain due to the chaotic Qi emanating from it, raising the rank of this blessed land significantly," Zhen Yuanzi pointed around with his duster.

Xuanqing was startled.

He closed his eyes, experiencing the changes around him.

Indeed.

Compared to when he just arrived, the density of spiritual Qi in Wuzhuang Temple has increased by more than double.

"The spiritual Qi has indeed increased, but 1 have a doubt. If the increased spiritual Qi is absorbed and cultivated, won't it return to its previous state?" Xuanqing asked solemnly.

He recalled the event six years ago when Guanyin s Jade Dew, which contained Innate Energy, had erupted in Black Wind Town, causing it to briefly reach the level of a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

However, in less than a month, that spiritual Qi slowly dissipated, merging with the surrounding environment.

"Hahahaha-"

Laughing heartily, Zhen Yuanzi explained, "The increase in the spiritual Qi of this land is due to the Chaotic Qi which changed the land's rank itself. It won't just disappear like you're thinking."

After this explanation,

Xuanqing finally understood the reason.

It's actually quite simple.

The eruption of Innate Energy in Black Wind Town was an external factor, which disappeared once depleted.

But the enhancement of Longevity Mountain was due to the nourishment of Chaotic Qi, which led to an evolution, increasing its maximum limit.

Then,

Zhen Yuanzi began picking the fruits.

With a wave of his duster, the starlike fruits on the tree were all drawn down, leaving only a hundred still hanging.

"Young friend Xuanqing, you can take these fruits!"

"In the future, once the chaos where the Ginseng Fruit's roots reside is repaired, you can come and use your divine power again."

In response to this,

Xuanqing no longer refused and put all the floating Ginseng Fruits into his Game Backpack.

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Immortal, 1 won't disturb you any longer." "Oh, don't rush, young friend."

Zhen Yuanzi was in high spirits. Seeing his young friend didn't want to leave in such a hurry made him feel pleased.

"I plan to choose an auspicious day to give a Dao preaching and hold a Ginseng Fruit Banquet. If you're not in a hurry, you might as well stay."

"At that time, you may have the chance to consume the Ginseng Spirit Fruit.

Sense the Great Dao, and achieve the status of an Immeasurable Immortal!"

Upon hearing this,

"Thank you, Great Immortal. 1 will gladly follow your advice!1' Xuanqing was overjoyed, and quickly raised his hand in a swearing gesture, deeply kowtowing.

No matter whether Zhen Yuanzi invited him in this way because of his good mood, or he wanted to promote his junior, he still owed him this favor anyway. Of course.

He was willing to owe this favor.

Because in interpersonal relationships, building a good relationship is not just about making the other person owe you. Sometimes, owing someone else is a good way to establish a relationship, and sometimes it s even better.

And so,

Xuanqing temporarily stayed in Wuzhuang Temple.

The so-called auspicious day was not about picking a good day randomly. For an existence like Zhen Yuanzi, any day could be considered a good day.

The reason for doing so was merely to delay time.

Sending out invitations requires time, and others also need time to come.

Finally.

Half a month later.

The Dao preaching and Ginseng Fruit Banquet held by Zhen Yuanzi was about

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Chaotic Qi in the Ginseng Fruit.

Translator: 549690339

Today.

Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain is exceptionally bustling.

Some disciples who are out and about, upon learning that their ancestor is holding a banquet with the famous Ginseng Fruit Feast, and that everyone will get to eat and listen to teachings afterwards, hurriedly rush back.

It's worth mentioning that.

This banquet is held very low-key, only inviting a few familiar immortals from the Heavenly Court, without inviting anyone else.

Front yard.

The rich aroma of fruit lingers.

A few dozen small wooden tables, arranged in order of the guests' status, and fruit plates on them containing the renowned Ginseng Fruits.

Sitting at the front are.

The well-known Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals, Donghua Emperor of Heavenly Court's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Universal Transcendence of the Department of Thunder.

Then behind them are Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two beloved disciples of Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

What is worth mentioning is.

Daoist Xuanqing's seat was arranged by Great Immortal Zhenyuan, next to Qingfeng and Mingyue. Such an arrangement undoubtedly shows his status in Zhenyuan's heart.

Further back are.

The ordinary disciples of Wuzhuang Temple.

Of course.

Everyone will have Ginseng Fruit to eat; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Ginseng Fruit Feast.

The courtyard is very quiet.

At the main seat.

Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, has a smile on his face, sits cross-legged, and places his whisk upon the table.

"Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals, Universal Transcendence, Donghua Emperor, before tasting the Ginseng Fruit, let me first teach my juniors, and delay for a short while, how about it?"

Upon hearing this.

"Haha, sure, sure-"

"Being able to eat the delicious Ginseng Fruit, even if it takes longer, is worth the wait!"

"Good."

The Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals, the two Great Immortals of the Department of Thunder and the Ministry of Revenue, all nod their heads in agreement.

Actually.

They were also puzzled, as to why the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhenyuan Great Immortal, who had many friends in the Heavenly Court, only invited them this time.

But since they didn't mention it, they wouldn't presume to ask; after all, this Ginseng Fruit is a good thing, containing a trace of Chaotic Qi, a taste beyond description.

Moments later.

Zhenyuan Great Immortal began to speak.

"The Great Dao is formless. One Innate Energy spawns Heaven and Earth's Five Elements and Yin and Yang of the sun and moon."

"Then there are Metal, Wood…"

Waves of Dao Rhyme circulate, affecting the entire Longevity Mountain.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air tumbles, like waves of silver-white lotuses.

Such a scene.

Leaves all the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple dumbfounded.

"Master… why did he start lecturing on the basics of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements?"

"Didn't he already lecture on this more than 2000 years ago?"

"Huh…?"

Originally.

These ordinary disciples in the courtyard thought that their Master was in high spirits, so before eating the Ginseng Fruit, he would give them a Dao lecture.

But they didn't expect that their ancestor would actually teach them about Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which are such basic things they had already learnt.

This is like a junior high school teacher saying they will give everyone a catch-up lesson, but then teaching the multiplication table of nine.

However.

Compared to the baffled disciples.

The two child-like beings, Qingfeng and Mingyue, sitting in the second row, look at each other.

They had seen everything clearly half a month ago and naturally knew why their Master places such importance on Daoist Xuanqing.

Of course.

They weren't jealous either, because the A/Iaster rewarded them with a Ginseng Fruit each, and Daoist Xuanqing gave them two more Ginseng Fruits as well.

Now at this Ginseng Fruit Feast, they can eat another one, which adds up to each of them getting four Ginseng Fruits; so what could be unsatisfactory about that?

This is how the ways of the world work!

This moment.

Xuanqing was utterly intoxicated.

Although he was a Taoist disciple, he was from the world of Earth without magic, which actually made him a latecomer to cultivation.

After listening to the Yin-yang Five Elements' knowledge in the lecture, his doubts in cultivation were suddenly cleared up.

So that's what it's all about!

It wasn't just about enhancing the realm of cultivation.

Xuanqing's understanding of the "Five Elements Formation" also went to new heights.

If his character panel had a skill progress bar, it would definitely be increasing by i%…2%…3/o, rapidly rising.

Time flew by.

Half a day had passed.

[Ding- Congratulations to the player for reaching the Perfection realm in the

"Five Elements Formation".]

A crisp notification sounded in his mind.

Xuanqing seemed to have no reaction to it.

He furrowed his brow and had no intention of paying attention to the game notification sound.

As the lecture deepened, the knowledge that once enlightened him gradually became incomprehensible.

It was as if the original multiplication tables slowly transformed into explaining calculus, topology equations, etc., sounding like a heavenly scripture.

"Looks like… it's time for the Game System to step in!"

A thought crossed Xuanqing's mind.

Having finally encountered this legendary "lecture", it would be a great loss if he couldn't absorb it due to his own lack of comprehension.

The next moment.

"Activate 24-hour Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom."

[Ding! -86400 Ingot!]

Accompanied by the deduction of more than 80,000 Ingots, a mysterious power surged through him. What he couldn't understand before now suddenly became clear.

Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom allows one to abandon ordinary emotions and wisdom, entering a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, where one's observation, comprehension abilities, etc., will reach the physical limit they can bear.

While in this state.

Xuanqing's understanding of "Dao" was rapidly increasing.

In the short term, there might not be any changes, but as his cultivation grew, the effect was more and more significant.

Time flew, and a day passed.

Just before the state of Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom disappeared.

Without hesitation.

Xuanqing spent another 80,000 Ingots to extend his Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom for a whole day. The rare opportunity to learn the Dao was well worth the little Ingot consumption.

"Extend 24-hour Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom!"

[Ding! -86400 Ingot!]

Under the state of Abandonment of Sacred Wisdom.

Xuanqing was like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing the profound Dao Zhenyuanzi expounded.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Finally.

Xuanqing's body was enveloped in a rich Dao aura.

His control over the Dao had reached the limit of the Refining God and Returning to Void realm. If his cultivation didn't break through, even with higher comprehension, he wouldn't be able to understand the subsequent lectures.

On the main seat.

Zhenyuanzi's mouth curled up slightly, as if he sensed something.

The lecture stopped.

"Young friend Xuanqing, if you don't eat a Ginseng Fruit now, when will you?"

Hearing these words.

Xuanqing didn't have time to think.

He directly grabbed a Ginseng Fruit from the table, and like Zhu Bajie devouring a Ginseng Fruit, swallowed it with his head tilted back.

It melted instantly upon entering his mouth.

In an instant.

A surge of immense energy erupted.

Unlike the mild Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, and the domineering Innate Energy, this Ginseng Fruit contained an incredibly unique energy.

Chaotic Qi.

Or rather, this was a trace of Chaotic Qi that had merged with the rules of this world.

He broke through.

Just in the blink of an eye.

Refining Spirit to Emptiness Early Stage…. Refining Spirit to Emptiness Mid Stage!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Heaven, Earth, Human, Gods, and Ghosts!

Translator: 549690339

It hasn't ended yet.

The terror of Chaotic Qi, even if it's only a trace, is not so simple, and the cultivation is still rising rapidly.

Mid Stage of Refining God and Returning to Void… Late Stage of Refining God and Returning to Void….

At this moment.

On the main seat.

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly stood up.

"Young friend Xuanqing, I will help you achieve the status of Celestial Immortal!"

As he waved the duster in his hand, the wind and clouds of Heaven and Earth changed, and the sun, moon, and stars all alternated.

The entire qi of the blessed cave in Longevity Mountain was mobilized under this duster.

Flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground.

This force of qi transformed into lotus flowers, wrapping around Xuanqing who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone was wearing a shocked expression.

"So that's why!"

In the first row.

Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals, Donghua Emperor, and Universal Transcendence suddenly realized.

These five bigshots who came from Heavenly Court to participate in the Ginseng Fruit Banquet also understood why the Ancestor of Earth Immortals had invited them separately.

It turned out.

All of this… was for this young Taoist called 'young friend Xuanqing'.

"Xuanqing… Xuanqing… why does this name sound familiar?"

Among the five bigshots, Donghua Emperor looked puzzled, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere.

"It does sound familiar!

Universal Transcendence beside him, couldn't help but mutter too.

It's worth mentioning.

The so-called Universal Transcendence, should be called 'Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thundering Universal Transcendence', the boss of Heavenly Court Thunder Department.

Most Daoist Immortal Officers, except for the three independent Heavenly Masters, were under his jurisdiction.

As for Donghua Emperor, there is no need to say more, he controlled the functional Ministry of Revenue of the Heavenly Court, and all enrolment of immortal officials had to go through him.

While these two bigshots from Heavenly Court were discussing.

Next to them.

Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals looked at each other and knew each other's thoughts. The three immortals had always been a unified entity since ancient times.

More importantly.

When Great Immortal Zhenyuan used Longevity Mountain's blessed cave to bestow blessings onto young friend Xuanqing for his ascension to Celestial Immortal status.

They already knew the meaning of inviting their three brothers to this Ginseng Fruit Banquet.

Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals stood up at the same time.

They muttered words in their mouths, and threw their 'Peach', 'Tablet', and 'Ingot' into the air!

Peaches symbolize longevity!

Tablets symbolize destiny!

Ingots symbolize luck!

The three items combined into the characters 'Fu, Lu, Shou' and constantly rotated above Xuanqing's head.

"Heaven's Blessing!"

Hum-

A force even more immense than the support from Longevity Mountain's blessed cave rolled over.

Throughout the history of the Three Realms, there were only a few living beings who had simultaneously received the blessings of the three officials.

Now, there was another one, a Daoist Immortal Officer named Xuanqing.

No matter the various visions outside.

Xuanqing had reached a crucial moment.

Under the influence of this Ginseng Fruit, his cultivation had reached the limit of 'Refining God and Returning to Void', and there was nowhere to go further.

From now on.

He must wait until he sheds his mortal body to continue cultivating.

At this moment.

The baptism of Chaotic Qi from the Ginseng Fruit, the support from the blessed cave, and the heavenly blessings from Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals.

Under layers upon layers.

Xuanqing's momentum has grown to an unimaginable level.

It's worth mentioning that.

In this world, shedding one's mortal body would mean condensing one of the three Immortal Bodies: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Human Immortal: starting at a lifespan of one thousand years, can refine a hundred kinds of magic arts, usually a normal mortal or a transformed demon who has practiced cultivation.

Earth Immortal: starting at a lifespan of ten thousand years, can master one kind of divine power, possessing extraordinary bloodline and deep blessings, practicing cultivation by harnessing the energy of cave heaven and blessed land.

Heavenly Immortal: lifespan as long as Heaven, divine powers come naturally, can only be achieved by those who possess great cosmic luck, each of them are renowned figures.

For most ordinary cultivators.

It's already difficult to successfully shed their mortal body, let alone choose the type of immortal they want to become.

Even if one has only achieved the status of a Human Immortal, it's not to say they can only live for a thousand years. They can still continue to cultivate further, it's just that the difficulty increases by a billion times.

Earth Immortal!

In this world, they can already be called a generation of heaven's pride, achieving it is rare among living beings, except for the extraordinary bloodlines, such as the five sacred beasts.

As for… Heavenly Immortal!

This is not only about having a profound bloodline but also about your 'Luck'!

For example, Erlang, the nephew of the Jade Emperor, also known as the 'True Monarch of the Clear Origin and Wonderful Path,' achieved the Heavenly Immortal status and later became a saint in the flesh.

Or Nezha, the great power Lingzhu's reincarnation, is also a Heavenly Immortal and later became a saint in the flesh.

Or the Monkey King Wukong, conceived by the Five Colored Stone for countless years, who has been a celestial body since birth.

Of course.

Apart from the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Immortal bodies, there are two other special types, the 'Immortal' and 'Ghost Immortal' without their physical bodies.

One is the formation of Heaven, and the other is the formation of Hell, each with its advantages and disadvantages.

Some people might be puzzled.

No matter what kind of immortal you become, you would still have to continue your cultivation, it's just that your talent could be a bit higher or lower.

Hehe!

Here's a simple example – if you put it in terms of Earth's graduates, could there be any difference between the graduates of a top university and those of a second-tier institution?

Leaving the unrelated topics aside.

At this moment.

Under such multiple blessings and carrying the Body of Merits, Xuanqing has the idea of achieving the Heavenly Immortal status and walking on the Heavenly Immortal path.

"Since I have such an opportunity, I, as a humble Taoist, also want to walk on the Heavenly Immortal path!" Xuanqing opened his eyes.

"Activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for ten hours!"

[Ding! -36,000 Ingots]

As the ingots were deducted, Xuanqing entered the Heaven and Human Unity State of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.

"Break!"

Xuanqing shouted.

His original cultivation limit of the late stage of Refining Spirit to Emptiness surged upward once again, like a dam bursting, unable to be contained.

At the same time!

Chaotic Qi, Cave Heaven and Blessed Land ground vein luck, Heavenly Official's Blessing.

These five kinds of power started to play their parts, blessing his body as his cultivation broke through.

Humin-

A wave spread out in all directions from Xuanqing as the center.

The earth was shaking.

The wave reached Hell, making Yama King exclaim; the wave reached Heavenly Court, making Lingxiao Bao Hall tremble slightly.

As it was hundreds of years ago, when Monkey King was born, the scene of the sky collapsing and the stars shifting appeared again.

In the Three Realms.

Countless great powers were alarmed, their gazes turned towards the wave's origin in Longevity Mountain, wondering why another change occurred in Heaven and Earth!

Longevity Mountain.

Wuzhuang Temple's front yard.

When all the heavenly and earthly anomalies stopped, it signified that he had finally set foot on the road to becoming a Heavenly Immortal and possessed the qualification to become a top bigshot.

"FI00-"

Xuanqing opened his eyes and stood up.

His face was extremely solemn.

"This junior Xuanqing is grateful to Great Immortal Zhenyuan, Heavenly Officials of Fu, Lu, and Shou.. I will never forget the kindness of my elders and I will always bear it in my heart!"

Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Great Immortal Zhenyuan Takes Action.

Translator: 549690339

At the main seat.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan slightly nodded his head, with satisfaction in his eyes.

If it could be said that before he used his divine power, he was kind and pleasing to the eye, it was for the sake of the Old Lord's face; but now, it was because he valued Xuanqing himself.

"Haha, we cannot enjoy this Ginseng Fruit for free, Great Immortal."

"Indeed, indeed."

"Young friend Xuanqing is very polite."

The three heavenly officials of Fu, Lu, and Shou laughed and bowed their hands in unison.

At this moment.

The other two powerful beings standing next to Fu, Lu, and Shou, Universal Transcendence and Donghua Emperor, exchanged a knowing smile.

Obviously.

The Ginseng Fruits could not be taken for free, and now it was their turn to come forward.

The first to speak was Universal Transcendence, the boss of the Department of Thunder and the highest leader directly above Xuanqing.

"Xuanqing, since the three immortals Fu, Lu, and Shou have conferred blessings upon you, I can't be stingy either."

With that,

a token radiating thunder-light appeared in Universal Transcendence's hand.

"This is my Imperial Edict Token. With it, you can summon the Thunder of the Shenxiao Jade Palace at any time. Use it well to reward the good and punish the evil!"

Shoo-

The token flew over.

"Thank you, Universal Transcendence!"

Xuanqing was overjoyed as he took the jade brand in his hand.

Tsk tsk-

This was a great treasure. The concept of the Shenxiao Jade Palace's Thunder was the highest core of the Department of Thunder.

Generally speaking, one would need to be at least a secondary third-rank to access the Shenxiao Jade Palace. To summon Shenxiao's thunder, one would need at least a second-rank, and to use it at will, one would need to hold an even higher position.

With this treasure, if they happened to pass through the Wusi Tibetan Empire and the Yellow Wind Monster dared to come out again…

A Shenxiao Jade Thunder would strike, and the opponent would either die or lose a layer of skin.

Now.

There was only the last Donghua Emperor left.

As the Emperor in charge of the Immortal Official Record in the Heavenly Court, he didn't possess Fu Lu Shou's inherent divine powers of blessing.

So.

The gift he bestowed was naturally related to his divine authority.

"Xuanqing, 1 will also give you an Imperial Edict Token. With it, you can communicate with the Ministry of Revenue and perform the task of conferring titles."

As his words fell,

a token shining with golden light flew towards him.

"Thank you, Donghua Emperor!"

Xuanqing received the token and put it into his backpack.

With this token, conferring titles to his subordinates would be much more convenient in the future. No need for a platform and rituals, just using this token to increase the power would be enough.

Thus,

while the disciples on the Longevity Mountain stood dumbfounded,

the five powerful beings from the Heavenly Court gave their own greeting gifts, paying their share for the Ginseng Fruit Banquet.

"Thank you, Great Immortal, for your hospitality. If you have free time in the future, you may come to Ying Province's Three Islands to play and discuss the Dao!"

The oldest of the three immortals, Shou, stepped forward with a beaming smile and bowed his hand.

"We shall take our leave now!"

"Good!" Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile.

Seeing this,

Universal Transcendence and Donghua Emperor stepped forward one after another, bowing their hands and saying, "Thank you, Great Immortal, for the Ginseng Fruit Feast. We (Emperor) shall take our leave now, and we'll meet again in the future!"

"We'll meet again in the future!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan also nodded his head in response.

After sending off the guests,

he turned to the disciples in the courtyard and commanded, "The Ginseng Fruit Banquet is over, you may disperse now!"

"We shall follow the Ancestor's decree!"

"We shall follow the Ancestor's decree!"

At this moment, all the disciples and grand-disciples knew that their Ancestor had organized this Ginseng Fruit Banquet to help Daoist Xuanqing.

Now that their goal had been achieved, these green leaves that had accompanied them all knew it was time to disperse. One after another, they picked up the cushions in front of them and left the courtyard.

Finally.

Even Qingfeng and Mingyue tactfully stood up, bowed, and took their leave.

Soon.

The once lively courtyard quieted down.

"Hahahaha- Young friend, are you satisfied with this Ginseng Fruit Banquet?" Great Immortal Zhenyuan laughed heartily.

"Extremely satisfied, Great Immortal's kindness is unforgettable!"

Xuanqing bowed once again and replied earnestly.

Not only did he become a Heavenly Immortal this time, but he also got to know Donghua Emperor and Universal Transcendence by riding on the coattails of Great Immortal Zhenyuan. If he wasn't satisfied with that, he might as well be struck by thunder.

"If you're satisfied, then that's good. I hope that young friend will not be stingy with your Instantaneous Million Years Ability if the Chaos Space of my Ginseng Fruit Tree is repaired!"

Zhenyuan Great Immortal stroked his beard and smiled.

Think about it.

He was originally minding his own business when good fortune fell from Heaven. His Ginseng Fruit Tree gained sixteen Convention cultivation levels, and his Blessed Land on Longevity Mountain improved a level as well.

And all he had to give for this was what?

The six hundred plus Ginseng Fruits?

Or was it using his influence to invite some friends to a banquet?

Taking a serious account of it.

Zhenyuan Great Immortal felt that he hadn't given anything but had gained such a huge harvest, so using the term "winning" to describe it wasn't an exaggeration at all.

And so.

Whether it was newcomer Xuanqing or boss Zhen Yuanzi, both felt that they had come out on top.

"Young friend Xuanqing, what are your plans next?" Zhenyuan asked.

Xuanqing pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands and said, "Great Immortal, I have matters to deal with in my territory, so I won't stay much longer!"

"Haha, alright, alright!"

Zhenyuan, in a good mood, suggested, "The journey from my Wuzhuang Temple to your territory is quite far."

"Since you're in a hurry, why don't I send you a part of the way? How about that?"

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing was stunned for a moment.

Could the Great Immortal Zhenyuan be any more polite to send him on his way?

However.

Speaking of the distance between the two places, it was indeed far. It took a full month to fly there before.

Even though he was now a Heavenly Immortal and his speed had improved, it would still take quite some time.

After some thought.

Since he already owed a favor, as the saying goes, more debts don't worry, more fleas don't itch – might as well just let him send him off, and save some time.

"Uh… If Great Immortal has the leisure, this junior would be grateful!" Xuanqing said shamelessly.

"Good!"

Zhenyuan smiled slightly.

The next moment.

His floating dust waved violently in the void, and the sleeve of his other arm was vigorously shaken.

Crack… crack…

An incredibly terrifying thing happened.

The void in front of them shattered like broken glass, revealing numerous cracks that continued to expand.

Hum-

Finally.

A dark, two-meter-wide hole appeared before them.

"Go ahead, once you're inside, remember to keep activating your Immortal Official Document!"

"Young friend… We will meet again!"

As his words fell.

A huge gravitational force suddenly appeared from the two-meter-wide hole in the sky. Before he even had a chance to bid farewell to Great Immortal Zhenyuan,

Xuanqing was sucked in.

An hour later.

In the sky above the small town at the border between Two Realms Mountain and the Westside Hami Empire.

A mysterious, two-meter wide dark hole appeared, emitting a mysterious aura that caused the surrounding space to twist..

Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Integration of Void Stage!

Translator: 549690339

Pfft-

A sound like farting rang out.

A Taoist wearing a Daoist robe, holding an Immortal Official's Jade Seal in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand, shot out from the dark hollow entrance.

"Hiss… so fast!"

Xuanqing steadied his body, feeling amazed in his heart.

No wonder he is such a big shot. Even when sending people, he's so incredibly fast. Xuanqing thought he would be riding on a lucky cloud, carrying him at a faster speed.

Poor and weak imagination, it turns out that an emperor's life does not involve farming with a golden hoe.

With such commotion.

It attracted the attention of everyone in Black Wind Town.

Everyone thought it was Shimen attacking, so they hurriedly gathered and then found out that it was their Sir who had returned.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

The four little gods, two demons, and Qingwan all gathered around. As for the City God, he didn't come because such fluctuations could not be transmitted to the Netherworld.

Suddenly.

When the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She, the two demons, approached Sir, they discovered that their Sir was different now.

"Eh… Sir, have you shed your mortal body and achieved an immortal body?" Black Bear Essence couldn't help but ask.

The White Snake Gentleman on the side also showed surprised.

The four little gods were even more overjoyed, never thought that their Sir would shed his mortal body and achieve an immortal body so quickly. No wonder they can't see through him.

"Yes, I have condensed an immortal body and achieved the status of a heavenly immortal!" Xuanqing nodded.

"Congratulations… huh?"

"Heavenly Immortal?"

"Sir has achieved the status of a heavenly immortal?"

Except for Qingwan, who had little cultivation experience, everyone else found it unbelievable and was shocked beyond belief.

"Sir… you mean you have stepped onto the Road to Celestials?" Gentleman White Snake asked with trembling lips.

As a footless scattered monster.

Even if he had tried his best, shedding his mortal body would not have been more than transforming himself and walking the path of Earth Immortals. Although he had mastered hundreds of spells, he would never have access to divine powers in this lifetime.

What's more important is the slow cultivation of Earth Immortals, which is indescribable.

Despite mastering alchemy, working hard, and consuming countless elixirs, the final result is that he still could not catch up with his boss, Black Bear Essence. Playing casually, sleeping when tired, getting bored and fetching honeycombs, his cultivation rocketed up.

It was all because Black Bear Essence had a trace of extraordinary heritage, possessed a trace of Tsunami Bear blood, and was not just an ordinary body since birth; he walked the path of 'Earth Immortal Way.'

It's hard to imagine that their Sir… said that he had achieved the status of a heavenly immortal just now?

"Yes!"

"With the help of an elder, I was fortunate enough to step onto the Road to Celestials." Xuanqing said lightly.

Without the help of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, even if he had the Body of Merits and Ginseng Fruit, the distance to becoming a heavenly immortal would still be a little short.

This moment.

Everyone received a definite answer from their Sir's mouth.

One by one, they widened their eyes, and then, as if they had won a Ginseng fruit prize, they jumped on the spot, completely disregarding their identity as Immortals.

"Congratulations Sir, and best wishes to Sir!"

"Congratulations, Sir, on attaining the status of Heavenly Immortal."

"Sir has stepped onto the Road to Celestials, in the future he will surely become a powerful figure in the Three Realms."

Everyone was extremely excited.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If their Sir could become a powerful figure in the Three Realms in the future, could their future be bad as subordinates?

In their hearts, they were all muttering thoughts like… they chose the right person… they were going to make a fortune in this life… their Sir was so awesome…

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing's eyes looked into the distance, as if he could see the chaotic void beyond the primordial world.

"The Great Dao is clear and massive, even if I become a powerful figure in the Three Realms, what about it? As a person… one's vision must be far-sighted!"

To be honest.

Ever since he refined the Body of Merits in the Eight Trigram Furnace, his goal in his heart has long been more than just a simple pursuit of longevity.

"Alright, I have gained something this time and need to undergo closed-door cultivation for a while. You all continue to guard Black Wind Town."

Xuanqing waved and said.

There were so many ginseng fruits in his backpack, he might as well eat them and convert them into his cultivation. It's not like he was planning to save them for offspring.

Before, he was rushing to deal with the disaster in Black Wind Town, then went to Wuzhuang Temple for the ginseng fruits, and later waited for Great Immortal Zhenyuan to preach. This series of events prevented him from logging out of the game.

He had to know that in the real world, a lot of matters were waiting for him to deal with.

However.

Everyone looked surprised upon hearing Sir's words.

Black Bear Essence, being simple and honest, directly asked, "Sir, having achieved the Way of Celestial Immortals, aren't you going to hold an Ascension Banquet?"

Ascension Banquet?

Xuanqing was momentarily startled, before recalling a particular feature of this world.

Apart from cultivating to become immortal in this world, there was another conspicuous characteristic: people loved to hold 'banquets.'

There were grand events such as the Flat Peach Banquet, which took place every 500 years in the Heavenly Court, and the yearly celebration of the Queen Mother's Birthday, which occurred once every 365 years in the Mortal World.

Moreover, whenever someone got married, had a promotion, broke through in their cultivation, or experienced significant life events, they would always hold a grand banquet.

Not to mention anything else.

If Xuanqing were a native of this world, he probably would have hosted countless banquets by now – for his promotion in the Immortal Official's Jade Seal, for the promotions of his subordinates, for obtaining treasures, for breaking through in his cultivation… There were simply too many reasons.

The highest-ranked figures all enjoyed hosting banquets.

As a result, cultivators in the Three Realms followed suit, as it was in their nature to worship the powerful.

Of course, that's another story.

"Ascension Banquet… Let's host one, but we'll hold it half a year later. You guys can handle the arrangements."

Xuanqing gave it a thought and decided to go with the local customs.

After all, everyone else was hosting banquets, so if he didn't do the same, wouldn't he stand out awkwardly?

Hosting the banquet six months later meant that he would have 18 days in the real world to handle all the other matters.

"You may all disperse now!"

Xuanqing flicked the whisk in his hands and ordered everyone.

"Yes, Sir, we are taking our leave."

"Yes, Sir, we are taking our leave."

Everyone bowed in unison before leaving.

Back in the Divine Realm.

Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the ground.

With a single thought, he said,

"Open the character panel!"

[Name: Xuanqing

[Physique: Body of Merits

[Grade: Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Shangqing Department of Luoshu Signing Books, Thunder Clap Capital Affairs (Secondary Seventh-Rank)

[Cultivation: Integration of Void Stage (Early Stage)

[Cultivation Method: Food-Qi Decree

[Divine Ability: Cloud Stepping Travel (Perfection), Five Elements Talisman Array (Perfection)

[Ingot: 5869

At this moment.

The information on the character panel had changed.

After listening to Great Immortal Zhenyuan's lecture, the Five Elements Talisman Array had gone from a Great Achievement to a Perfect state.

For the [Cultivation] column, it had changed from Refining Spirit to Emptiness to Integration of Void Stage.

It's worth mentioning that,

Shedding the mortal body to achieve the Immortal Body and embarking on the Road to the Celestial Immortals primarily refers to the 'type,' not the cultivation realm.

It can also be understood that after becoming immortal, the cultivation process involves comprehending the Great Dao.. Thus, the true name of this realm is the Integration of Void Stage!

Chapter 118: Chapter 117: A Sense of Disconnection in Reality?

Translator: 549690339

It's worth mentioning that.

After reaching the Integration of Void Stage, aside from a few special cultivation techniques, most of them lost their effectiveness.

The so-called Integration of Void is refining one's own void and integrating one's own path. The best path is always the one walked by oneself.

"Since I became an immortal through the 'Ingesting Qi Decision', I shall take this as my foundation and develop my own cultivation techniques." Xuanqing made up his mind.

Ingesting Qi Decision makes one swallow a mouthful of innate energy to nourish the physical body and the god soul. When combined, they can shed the mortal body and achieve the immortal body.

"Great Immortal Zhenyuan once said that after becoming an immortal, one needs to cultivate the Three Flowers and verifying Gathering the Crown, and also collect the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Qi within their chest to verify the Chaoyuan Power."

"Only in this way can one reach the realm of Three Flowers Gathering At The Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan."

"What 1 need to do now that 1 have an immortal body is to thoroughly stabilize and refine it before 1 can carry on with my follow-up cultivation," Xuanqing pondered.

In layman's terms,

In the Integration of Void Stage,

Early Stage: As the immortal body is just formed, the task is to temper the immortal body and maximize its development.

Mid Stage: Condense essence, Qi and god soul into the Three Flowers.

Late Stage: Cultivate the basic laws of the Five Elements and condense the Five Qi in the corresponding five internal organs.

Ultimately, cultivating to the Three Flowers gathered at the top and the Five Qi in the chest transformed into Chaoyuan power is the cultivation of the Integration of Void Stage.

Let's not talk about the realms for now.

Before cultivating, Xuanqing retrieved the power of incense fire from the several 'Gathering Qi Beads' placed on the divine statue to avoid wasting it due to the time difference.

"Begin cultivating!"

With a thought,

A fist-sized Ginseng Fruit, shaped like a baby, appeared before him, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Gulp-

He swallowed it.

The Chaotic Qi in the fruit transformed into an incredibly rich life essence, nourishing his physical body.

It's time to return to the real world and activate the automatic training feature.

"Exit the game."

In the real world.

The main room of the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple.

"Huff-"

Xuanqing opened his eyes and woke up.

However,

As soon as he returned to the real world, he felt something was amiss—a strange sense of disconnection.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

He had spent two months in the game this time, which amounted to seven days in the real world. How could such an eerie situation arise upon returning?

The sense of disconnection was not very strong, but it persisted continuously.

Xuanqing pondered in his heart.

If one were to ask what the difference was between this login and the previous ones, it was that he had shed his mortal body and achieved the Way of Celestial Immortals there.

"Could it be because of the condensed immortal body and the attainment of the Heavenly Dao?"

After thinking it over,

That was the only possibility.

Fortunately,

The feeling of disconnection was very weak. If one did not pay close attention, it wouldn't be noticeable at all. As long as it didn't intensify, there was no significant harm.

"First, cultivate, then gradually explore later."

Xuanqing shook his head.

"Activate automatic training!"

[Ding- You have successfully entered the automatic training state!]

Accompanied by the system prompt, an incredibly fulfilling sensation swept through his brain.

"Comfy!"

Xuanqing closed his eyes, feeling an unprecedented comfort.

It should be noted,

That this time he had prepared hundreds of Ginseng Fruits for closed-door cultivation. After activating automatic training, he set it up to ingest Ginseng Fruits for cultivation.

Cultivating was comfortable in itself, and with the double effect of automatic training plus the tenfold time difference between the two worlds, this comfortable feeling was enhanced to the limit.

After a while,

Having adapted to this sense of comfort,

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

Standing up,

Just like every time before returning to reality, he first charged his switched-off phone, and then called Yang Ying, his subordinate.

Half an hour later,

A black business car entered the parking lot.

Worth mentioning is that.

The person driving the car was a short girl wearing glasses, while Yang Ying was sitting in the back seat.

Clink-

The car door opened.

Yang Ying got out of the car and walked to the driver's side, "Lily, don't wait in the car, since you're here, go in and burn a stick of incense!"

"All, burn incense?"

The girl called Lily, who was in the driver's seat, couldn't help but look surprised.

"Yes." Yang Ying nodded and then left the parking lot, walking quickly towards the direction of the Taoist temple.

Lily adjusted her glasses frame.

Although she was curious about why her boss asked her to burn incense, she had heard that burning incense at Qingping Temple only cost two yuan, so it didn't matter.

Meanwhile.

Yang Ying had arrived at the inner courtyard.

Knock- Knock Knock

"Come in!"

She pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the Daoist priest sitting in a chair and hurriedly greeted him.

"Daoist Priest."

"Hmm, how's the development of the Daoist temple recently?" Xuanqing asked casually, as he had left in a hurry last time and hadn't paid much attention to the real world here.

Upon hearing this.

"The development of the Taoist temple is going smoothly, and the construction of twelve Taoist temples is coming to an end."

"However, if we continue to develop at the current pace, the follow-up funds may be somewhat tight, because we only have input and no output!"

Yang Ying replied.

"Right, 1 still have to go to the Business Bureau to change the nature of the company's operations to traditional culture tourism, otherwise the business documents won't be available."

"Also, our Taoist temple's main audience is the young group online. Once the twelve spots are open, there may be fewer visitors."

"Thus, I plan to go to the towns and villages for publicity, expand the source of incense guests, and target the huge group of elderly people in the villages and towns."

With the other party's explanation.

Xuanqing roughly understood the current situation.

He had already anticipated the problem of insufficient funds since he never aimed at making money, but at acquiring the power of incense fire.

However.

When the other party mentioned 'going to towns and villages for publicity,' a trace of disaster aura flashed across their face and disappeared.

Disaster aura?

Xuanqing was somewhat taken aback.

It is important to know.

The disaster aura is not the so-called ordinary 'blood disaster,' but it implies that a huge disaster is about to happen.

Just like the large number of disaster victims who flooded into Black Wind Town before, they had just experienced the sky full of yellow sand, which is why the disaster aura was born.

Now.

Xuanqing saw the disaster aura on Yang Ying's body, although it was only a flash, it was indeed a real disaster aura.

A catastrophe… is not a trivial matter.

With this thought in mind.

Xuanqing said solemnly, "Repeat the last sentence."

"I plan to go to the towns and villages for publicity, expand the incense guests

… um, is there anything wrong with this, you mean?"

Yang Ying was somewhat surprised, thinking that she had done something wrong.

As expected.

When the other party said the words about going to towns and villages for publicity again, the disaster aura reappeared and flickered, then disappeared.

"Hold on!" Xuanqing waved his hand, and immediately started divining.

He closed his eyes, pinching hand gestures in his hand, constantly changing.

With his current cultivation, divining ordinary people, he didn't need to use magic tools, just using his bare hands was enough.

Moments later.

The divination result came out.

This disaster aura's source was not on Yang Ying's body, or rather, she was affected but not in danger.

That's why the disaster aura appeared and disappeared in a flash.

However.

During the divination, he found that a young girl beside Yang Ying had died in the disaster, which was the source of the disaster aura on Yang Ying.

"Yang Ying, do you know a short girl wearing glasses? What's her relationship with you?" Xuanqing opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"All… a girl with glasses and short stature?"

Yang Ying was slightly startled, as the topic jumped from work matter to this question, which made her a bit slow to react,

But she knew that Daoist Priests like Xuanqing would never make a mistake without reason.

"Daoist Priest… you must be talking about Lily, she's my secretary."

After thinking about it.

Yang Ying had a picture of Lily in her mind; a short child wearing glasses and related to her, the only one was this little assistant.

"Call her over, I need to confirm something!"

Chapter 119: Chapter 118: The truth about the disaster aura of Catastrophe.

Translator: 549690339

In a short while.

Lily, the short girl wearing glasses, entered the room. When she learned from the boss that she was meeting the real big boss behind the scenes, her expression couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Hello, boss!" Lily bowed slightly, stealing glances at the boss in front of her with the corner of her eye.

He looks so good, and has a kind of… a kind of indescribable temperament. So, this is the big boss.

"Daoist Priest, this is Lily. She usually helps me with some assistant work, and also drives for me," Yang Ying introduced.

It was fine when she was working on the mountain before, but since she had to run around town, parking became a problem. Many times, they delayed things just because they were looking for parking spaces, so they recruited an assistant who could drive.

Perhaps worried about the Daoist Priest's misunderstanding, she further explained,

"Lily's salary is deducted from my own salary, not using the company's money." "Stop talking!"

Xuanqing frowned, interrupted Yang Ying's speech.

His gaze remained on the girl named Lily's face.

As expected.

From the moment Lily entered the room, a strong disaster aura rushed toward him, mixed with a trace of death qi.

The last time he saw this death qi was when Yang Ying first went up the mountain, and on Qingwan's grandmother.

A disaster was about to happen!

This kind of disaster prediction involves Heaven and Earth Nature, making it countless times more difficult than predicting individual fortunes and misfortunes.

Even the current Xuanqing could not deduce detailed information out of thin air.

It seems… he must use magic tools to deduce it.

Afterward.

Before the puzzled eyes of Lily, she saw her own big boss take out… a turtle shell from his bosom?

Swish-

Xuanqing empowered the turtle shell with his mana and shook it several times, shaking out the Tongbao coins inside.

Tinkle-

Four Tongbao coins fell onto the table, making a crisp sound as they collided.

Looking at the information revealed by the divination, and combining it with Lily's appearance.

In an instant.

Images formed in Xuanqing's mind as a large amount of information about this disaster aura appeared, even comprising several pictures that played in his mind.

In the images.

Massive floodwaters surged into the underground river of the Qingping Mountain Range, causing the reservoir upstream of Qingping Town to be unable to discharge the flood in time.

In the end, more than half of Qingping Town was submerged, and many people were buried in the floodwaters.

More importantly.

The cause of the flood was not due to conventional heavy precipitation, but rather related to the underground river.

This made the disaster very covert. By the time the townspeople react, the flood had already erupted, leaving no time to escape.

Although he had figured out the source of this disaster aura, a new doubt arose in his heart.

At this moment.

Seeing her Daoist Priest using the turtle shell to divine and frowning in silence, Yang Ying's heart was filled with uncertainty.

This feeling was terrible, just like seeing an old traditional doctor who shook his head and frowned after taking your pulse.

"What's wrong, Daoist Priest?" Yang Ying couldn't help but ask again.

Hearing the voice next to his ear.

Xuanqing temporarily put aside his thoughts.

"Nothing, but you have to postpone your town promotional plan, at least don't think about it this month!"

Yang Ying was shocked.

She was not stupid. From the Daoist Priest's divination with the turtle shell and his words, she could easily guess that she might run into some trouble in the promotional plan.

"Alright, I understand. I'll postpone the plan to the first of next month…no, the fifth."

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Alright, then we'll go first. If you have any commands, just call me," Yang Ying bowed.

Then.

Dragging the still-puzzled assistant Lily with her, she left the Taoist temple.

On this side.

As Lily sat down in the driver's seat.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Sis Ying, why do I feel like the big boss is a little… a little… how should I say it?"

"You mean Daoist Priest being mysterious and inexplicable?" Yang Ying took over the conversation.

"No, no," Lily hurriedly refuted, although that was what she thought. After all, she was just a worker, and the other party was the boss.

Thinking for a moment.

Yang Ying couldn't help but explain, "The Daoist Priest is a person with genuine abilities. You may not understand some things now, but you will gradually know them later."

"Also, you are not allowed to mention anything about the Daoist Priest to anyone, otherwise… it will not be as simple as losing a job, do you understand?"

"Oh, 1 know,"

Lily shrank her neck and agreed honestly.

At this moment, she still didn't know that it was because of the mysterious big boss that she managed to escape a life-threatening danger.

In the room.

Xuanqing stood up,

He came to the door, looking at the distant sky with his eyes, his heart filled with doubts.

Logically speaking.

With his current realm, he should have felt something about this disaster happening right by him the moment he returned to the real world.

However.

It wasn't until he saw Lily's disaster aura that he had to rely on divination to discover the existence of the flood disaster.

That shouldn't be the case, should it?

Xuanqing frowned.

Suddenly.

An idea struck his mind, thinking of a possibility.

Could the reason for the weakening of his 'blessed intuition' be related to that strange sense of separation at the beginning?

"It seems that I need to study this sense of separation thoroughly, to find out what's going on!" Xuanqing thought.

Of course.

Apart from studying the sense of separation, there was also dealing with this flood.

Although there are countless disasters in the world, and he can't possibly manage them all, he can't ignore those happening around him.

A cultivator.

They are just more ascetic, not practicing some ruthless Great Dao. They are still willing to help with things they can do easily.

For example.

You have a strange illness.

There is a Daoist Priest who can cure your illness. He may not take the initiative to go down the mountain to your house to treat it, but if you go to his Taoist temple, and feel sick while offering incense, he will take the initiative to help you.

"There are still a few days left for the flood. In this period, 1'11 research what this sense of separation is all about."

With a thought.

"Activate One Hour Unparalleled Intelligence!"

[Beep. -3600 Ingot!]

As the Ingot was deducted, he entered the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man in the state of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.

"Huh?"

Just when he was planning to use this state to study the sense of separation carefully, another abnormal situation occurred.

"The sense of separation is gone?"

Yes.

After activating the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state, this sense of separation disappeared, returning to its original state.

Under the absolute observational power, comprehension, and Unity of Heaven and Man,

Xuanqing kept thinking, deducing various possibilities, and peeling layer by layer, continuing to deduce various possibilities.

After an incense stick's time.

He finally figured out what was going on..

Chapter 120: Chapter 119: The God in the Real World.

Translator: 549690339

The reason for the feeling of disconnection was similar to his previous guess.

It had to do with his cultivation level advancing to the 'Integration of Void' stage and embarking on the Road to Celestials.

You should know.

In the realm of Integration of Void, the direction of cultivation, besides absorbing energy, is to comprehend the Great Dao!

So… here comes a problem.

The Dao in the Game World or the Dao in the Real World?

If he has achieved the Immortal Body and walked the Road to Fairyland, which world's Road to Fairyland would it be?

It was precisely because of the above reasons that he felt a sense of disconnection with the Real World after advancing to the Integration of Void stage and setting foot on the Road to Celestials.

Of course.

If he wanted to erase the sense of disconnection, he could either reach the pinnacle of cultivation and directly refine the consciousness of the Heavenly Path on Earth, or he could strengthen his connection with the Real World.

Given Xuanqing's current cultivation level, the first option was obviously ludicrous. He had no choice but to choose the second one: to strengthen his link with reality.

As for… how to strengthen his connection with the Real World.

Under his state of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom, he quickly found the best way to do so from among the many options.

"Enfeoff the Earth God, and then make it one of my Subordinate Gods."

"In this way, I can strengthen the connection without being bound by the Real World!"

The corner of Xuanqing's mouth slightly raised.

Evening.

The incense guests of Qingping Temple dispersed, restoring its usual tranquility.

As usual.

Huai Qingyun was cleaning up the aftermath left by the incense guests, processing the residue left in the cauldron, and gathering the dirty cushions for cleaning.

Shining Sir's God tablet, sweeping the floor… The small figure was constantly busy and very diligent.

An hour later.

When the work was done.

"My heart is pounding, the young me, is burning-"

Yo ya ya- hehe!" Huai Qingyun was in a very good mood, humming a little tune he had heard from one of the incense guests.

Just at this moment.

"Qingyun, come over!"

Sir?"

Hearing the voice in his mind.

Excitement flashed across Huai Qingyun's face, and he rushed toward Sir's closed-door cultivation room with his little legs.

Upon entering the room.

Huai Qingyun saw Sir sitting in the chair.

With the excitement in his heart, he wanted to run straight over and dive into Sir's arms to feel his breath, but then he remembered that he seemed to have not paid his respects yet, so he quickly braked and stopped.

"Qingyun pays respects to Sir-" Huai Qingyun bowed deeply, holding his fingers together.

"Mm."

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

"Sir.. Qingyun missed you so much."

Huai Qingyun could no longer hold back, rushing to Sir's side, using his little face, like a little puppy, constantly nuzzling up against him.

"Alright, alright, don't be like this-"

Xuanqing shook his head helplessly.

As the saying goes, one can't have his cake and eat it too. Cultivating spirits in this way allowed him to gain their loyalty. However, he had to put up with the 'clinginess'.

In Huai Qingyun's heart, the Sir who had cultivated him was as close to him as his foster parents, the closest person to him.

After allowing Huai Qingyun, this little guy, to be spoiled for a while.

Xuanqing's face became serious.

"Qingyun, I have a question for you, are you willing to become the Mountain God of this Qingping Mountain, and then to become a subordinate god under my command?"

"Mountain God?"

"Sir, what is a Mountain God, and what is a subordinate God?" Huai Qingyun asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Hearing this.

After pondering for a moment.

"Managing the Qi of the leylines, sheltering lives, enjoying the Incense of

Sentient Beings while also needing to bless the area, this… is a Mountain God."

"As for the subordinate god… you'll know once you become the Mountain God." Xuanqing explained.

"Wow-"

Huai Qingyun couldn't help but cry out, his eyes brimming with an unshakeable sparkle.

"Sir, after becoming a Mountain God, there will be incense to eat, right? I am willing, Qingyun is willing to become a Mountain God-"

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing was torn between laughter and tears.

So, his little apprentice was entirely focused on enjoying the incense offered by sentient beings.

"Indeed, after becoming a Mountain God, there will be endless incense for you to enjoy!"

"However! Nothing comes without effort in this world, so as you enjoy the benefits of the incense, you'll also have to fulfill the duties of a Mountain God."

Xuanqing earnestly advised.

"Qingyun understands. For example, if Qingyun works hard for Sir, Sir will reward Qingyun with incense to eat."

Huai Qingyun tilted his head, a smug smile on his face.

"Hehe, so after I become a Mountain God, if I work hard to manage the leylines and bring benefits to the people, I'll get rewarded with sentient beings' incense, right?"

After this statement was made…

Xuanqing was slightly taken aback.

It's not wrong per se, but something doesn't quite feel right… It's just like a job that earns money, but instead of their boss being an earthly employer, the boss is heaven and the consumers are sentient beings.

So, what does it mean for him to bestow the title of mountain deity…?

A mediator?

Xuanqing's face took on a peculiar expression.

He shook his head.

Stop pondering about it. As long as Huai Qingyun understands the responsibilities that come with godhood, that's all that matters.

"Right, in that case, I confer upon you the position of Mountain God of Qingping!"

After saying this-

With just a thought…

A golden token floated in the air, it was the Imperial Edict Token given by the Donghua Emperor.

It's worth noting…

The main function of this token is to facilitate communication with the divine rules. In simple terms, it's like a key, and it's a master key at that.

"Hear my decree, Huai Qingyun!"

Sir, I hear you."

As if sensing something…

Huai Qingyun quickly took two steps backward, straightened his body, and loudly responded to his master's words.

"I, Xuanqing, the Controller of the Right Palace of the Taiji, Upper Purity, Responsible for the Sutra Signatures, confer Huai Qingyun with the position of Mountain God of Qingping Mountain!"

"As a Mountain God, it is your duty to manage the leylines and provide blessings of prosperity to all living beings!"

As his words fell…

Hum Hum-

The token floating in the air emitted a strong golden light. Even though it wasn't dark yet, it was still incredibly dazzling.

A mysterious fluctuation emanated from Huai Qingyun's body.

It's done.

It's that simple.

After becoming the Mountain God of Qingping…

Huai Qingyun felt a surge of new memories in his mind, detailing everything about 'Earth God'.

Moments later…

After digesting all of the knowledge in his mind, he now understood how to manage leylines and how to use the power of incense to perform divine techniques, etc.

Besides…

Huai Qingyun finally understood what 'subordinate gods' meant. In his view, being Sir's subordinate god was equivalent to being closer to each other, and he was more than willing to do so.

Sir, let Qingyun become your subordinate god soon!"

"Alright!"

Xuanqing nodded.

Subsequently…

He did as he had done before in Black Wind Town, accepting Huai Qingyun as his subordinate god.

Thirty minutes later…

Xuanqing got his first subordinate god in the real world.

At the same time…

The moment Huai Qingyun became his subordinate god…

The faint feeling of 'alienation' was greatly diminished. If you didn't look very closely, you couldn't feel it at all.

This confirmed his inner speculation.

As long as he conferred godhood and then designated someone as his subordinate, it would strengthen his connection with the real world and thus eliminate the feeling of alienation.

After considering this…

"Qingyun, I'll find you another companion-"

Xuanqing gave a slight smile, then his whole body disappeared from the spot..

Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Disaster Arrives.

Translator: 549690339

"Find a buddy?"

Huai Qingyun looked at Sir's departing figure, murmuring in confusion.

Foot of Qingping Mountain.

There was a river about six or seven meters wide, crossing the entire Liucheng County. According to different sections, the name was also quite different.

The river by the Taoist temple was called 'Qingping River' by people. In short, the mountain was Qingping Mountain, the river was Qingping River, and the town was Qingping Town.

This moment.

Xuanqing was floating above the Qingping River.

Wow la la-

The water was shallow, washing the pebbles and making a rattling sound.

"Who would have thought that such a small river would cause a flood and submerge most of Qingping Town?"

Looking at the river under his feet.

Xuanqing thought with a sigh.

He came to the Qingping River because he wanted to find a creature living in the water to transform it into an essence, and then confer it as a Water God to become his subordinate god.

In this way, not only could the 'separation feeling' be completely solved, but it could also help with flood control and disaster relief in a few days.

Two birds with one stone!

Then.

Xuanqing inspected along the river to find aquatic creatures suitable for transforming into essence.

It is worth mentioning that.

The art of transforming has certain limitations. It must be a creature that has lived for a certain number of years and has already given birth to some spiritual light.

Like Huai Qingyun, who has lived in Qingping Temple for hundreds of years, later received Xuanqing's urine blessing and incense belief, and finally reached the conditions of being transformed.

After searching for a long time.

No suitable creatures were found that could be transformed.

As the saying goes, a True Dragon cannot be raised in shallow water. The widest part of this section of Qingping River is no more than ten meters, and the deepest part is no more than a few meters.

"Do I have to go to other river sections to find it?"

Xuanqing frowned slightly.

In not too long, Qingping Town would be flooded, and it would be best to transform the creatures in this river section.

Suddenly.

An idea flashed through his mind.

It's not necessary that only creatures living in water can be transformed into

River Gods. Amphibious animals can also be, such as… turtles?

Even in a sense, turtle species are more spiritual and easier to transform into essence than fish.

After this idea emerged in his heart.

Xuanqing shifted his gaze from the water and began to pay attention to the stone crevices on the shore, as most turtles live in those stone crevices.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Finally.

He found a suitable target for transformation at the entrance of a karst cave connected to an underground river.

This fellow was a male grass turtle.

ThefoneHalf of its body was buried in the sand at the mouth of the cave, with only two round nostrils exposed for breathing.

"Turtle- You're in luck, I hereby grant you an opportunity!"

Wow la la!

Feeling the approach of a giant bipedal animal, the grass turtle panicked, frantically scraping its four legs, trying to escape into the depths of the cave.

"Seize!"

However.

With a sweep of a semi-transparent, illusory giant hand.

The grass turtle was caught in midair, its limbs still scratching in vain.

Looking at the grass turtle fixed in the air.

With a thought in his mind.

A Gathering Qi Bead filled with the power of incense emerged from the Game Backpack.

"Release!"

Humming-

Centered on the Gathering Qi Bead, mysterious waves rippled like breaking the calm surface of a lake, causing ripples.

"Now!"

Xuanqing's eyes flashed with brilliance, pulling a part of the power of incense fire from the Gathering Qi Bead toward the grass turtle in the air.

Moments later.

The originally palm-sized grass turtle disappeared.

A black turtle the size of a bed, two meters long and one meter six or seven wide, appeared above the river.

"M00-!" The massive black turtle opened its mouth and let out a sound similar to a cow's lowing.

It was different from Huai Qingyun, who had lived in the Taoist temple, absorbed countless people's Qi, and could speak as soon as he changed shape.

This turtle had always lived in the river, with no knowledge of what language was, and even after gaining intelligence, it still couldn't speak.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing pointed with his right hand.

In an instant.

A golden light shot into the turtle's mind, containing the common knowledge of this world.

"Moo- Sir!

ii

The voice was even deeper than that of the Black Bear Essence, thick and heavy, like an old cow.

There was a clear shimmer in the turtle's beady eyes, indicating that it was a creature of wisdom.

"Well done!"

Xuanqing gave a slight smile.

He then took out the gold token from the game backpack, hovering it in the air and performing a deification ceremony on the huge turtle, just as he had done for Huai Qingyun.

"I, Xuanqing, Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signings Books, Thunderclap Capital Affairs, confer the status of Qingping River's Water God upon this Turtle Essence!"

"As the Earth God of the river, you should maintain the waterways and protect the living creatures within!"

Humming-

There were colorful lights flowing on the turtle's body.

In just a short time.

It went from an ordinary giant turtle to the Water God of the Qingping River area.

It wasn't over yet.

Looking at the turtle that had become the Water God.

Xuanqing asked solemnly, "Qingping River's Water God, are you willing to become a subordinate god under my command?"

Hearing this.

The turtle quickly knelt down on all fours, burying its head in the soil as a gesture of its willingness to become a subordinate god.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

He and the turtle had no personal bond yet. If the turtle dared to utter even half a word of refusal…

Today would be the twilight of all gods.

You should know.

In this real world, without the protection of the Heavenly Court, a minor river god like this one, or even a Taoist master appointed by Xuanqing himself, could be utterly destroyed without repercussion.

In a while.

After the Water God of Qingping River formally became a subordinate god under his command.

The weird feeling of 'separation' finally disappeared completely, relieving Xuanqing of a major internal concern.

"Moo- Sir…" The giant tortoise opened its mouth, looking as if it wanted to say something, with a human-like expression of hesitation on its face.

"Hmm?"

"To inform Sir, after becoming the Water God of Qingping River, 1 have a sense of unease in my heart, as if some disaster is going to happen."

"Your feeling is not wrong."

Xuanqing nodded and then said indifferently, "In two days, at one quarter past the hour of Si, a flood will inundate Qingping Town, bringing catastrophe."

"My reason for transforming you was to have you help when the disaster strikes. Do you understand?"

Hearing this.

The giant turtle was horrified.

As the god of the river, it could only sense a vague feeling, yet Xuanqing was able to calculate the precise timing of the event down to the minute and second.

At this thought.

It buried its head even deeper, speaking cautiously, "Your subordinate will strictly follow your command."

Come, I'll introduce you to your colleagues."

Time slowly passed.

Two days later.

The sun was shining brightly.

Qingping Town was bustling.

With the popularity of the Taoist temple, many visitors had come to the small town, and many locals had turned their homes into famous inns.

sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the bed, making the scene seem completely unrelated to the impending flood.

However.

Unbeknownst to the townspeople and visitors, a massive crisis had quietly arrived..

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Someone is going to die.

Translator: 549690339

Night.

The air becomes stifling.

Boom-

Thunder roared between Heaven and Earth.

Suddenly.

With gusts of wind, the sky seemed to have been pierced, pouring out heavy rain.

The rain was intense.

No one paid any attention to the sudden rain that appeared in the middle of the night, not even the weather station, which only sent a weather warning to remind visitors to bring umbrellas when they go out.

In a house.

Clang-

The windows rattled in the wind.

The loud noise woke up the sleeping tourists, and under the invasion of the urge to urinate, they got up and went to the toilet.

After urinating, the young man didn't feel much sleepiness, so he came to the wall, pushed open the window, and wanted to see the rain outside.

Creak-

The window was opened.

Immediately.

A huge wave mixed with rainwater hit his face, and the stuff around the window like cups and tissues were blown everywhere.

"Oh, what a heavy rain."

The young man was dumbfounded.

When he came to his senses, he quickly closed the window and tidied up the mess in the room, feeling depressed.

Finally having time off, he wanted to take a break.

In the end.

He chose to come here, wanting to see if the Taoist temple, which had caused a sensation online, was as mysterious as the rumors said.

As a result, he encountered this extreme weather, was woken up in the middle of the night, and didn't know if it would affect the fun after dawn.

Such situations were not unusual in the small town.

Many tourists from other provinces were also worried about their itinerary the next day due to the sudden torrential rain.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Half an hour before the disaster struck.

Splash-

The sudden rain last night continued until now without stopping.

Qingping Temple.

In the courtyard.

A giant tortoise the size of a bed, a little Taoist boy aged five or six, and a Taoist holding a feather duster.

It was Daoist Xuanqing and his two subordinate gods, Mountain God Huai Qingyun and River God Giant Tortoise.

"I will tell you once again, when disaster strikes, you can only use divine power to save people, not to stop the disaster from happening!"

Xuanqing's face was extremely serious.

Floods, volcanoes, earthquakes…such natural phenomena are called disasters only in terms of humanity.

As for Earth itself, they are just insignificant external movements.

If divine power is used to forcefully change disasters, the consciousness of Heaven and Earth will perceive it as a provocation, and the consequences are self-evident.

For example.

If Earth is compared to a living being, these natural disaster phenomena are nothing more than the normal activities of cells within the body.

At this moment, if a virus attempts to change the normal activity of the cells, the virus will be besieged by immune cells.

Living organisms will even develop a fever, creating an environment more suitable for immune cells, until the germs are completely eliminated, and they will not give up!

In summary.

It is acceptable to use divine power to save people, since the essence of divine power is people's faith and intention, which is the same origin and will not cause any problems.

However, if one uses divine power, a 'spiritual level' special energy, to resist or even destroy natural phenomena, the consequences will be as mentioned above, and only one between the divine power user and Earth's will can survive.

Of course.

For Xuanqing, he doesn't need to explain so much, as long as his subordinate gods obey his words.

"Sir, we understand."

"We got it, Sir!"

"Well, there's not much time, you guys go ahead!"

In the small town.

The time came to 9:07 AM.

The torrential rain that had raged all night finally stopped.

However.

When the tourists opened the windows, they saw a shocking scene.

Water-

All water-

The entire street was a vast expanse of water as if they were in a lake.

The scene before them didn't frighten these tourists who had come from afar.

Instead, they were all very excited, because such a sight of flooded streets was rarely witnessed in a lifetime.

However.

When they saw the floodwater reaching the middle of the cars on the parking spots along the streets, their faces changed instantly.

"Holy shit- My car!

"It's over. It's over. My car is flooded."

"Damn, just came for some fun, and the car got flooded. What a loss."

However!

As they were worrying about their property.

Little did they know.

A massive disaster, with the Qingping Town's upstream reservoir as its origin, erupted in the entire Qingping Town.

At the sluice of the reservoir.

Click… Click…

Under the scouring of the massive water flow, the sluice made a sound of unbearable pressure, and the dam itself started to show cracks.

9:07 AM.

Rumble-

Following a deafening sound, the entire dam collapsed, and the overflowing waves in the reservoir, like runaway wild horses, surged out.

On a nearby high mountain.

Two men in work clothes, watching the scene of the dam being washed away, directly collapsed on the ground in fright.

"It's over, Qingping Town is done for, and we are done for too."

It could be imagined.

What kind of disaster it would be when the flood stored in this reservoir, which was responsible for the life water supply for more than half of Liucheng County, rushes into the small town.

The scene returns to Qingping Town.

On the streets submerged half a meter deep.

There appeared many people paddling wooden rafts, sitting in basins, or riding on tires they got from somewhere.

People seeking fun didn't care if their cars were flooded, they were not interested in money, and their biggest interest was finding fun.

"Hey, guys, look, isn't it grand?"

A young man sat on two tires, shooting a video with his phone, and then posted it in the Friends Circle.

Just at this moment.

[Wail-Wail-]

A harsh air raid siren sounded throughout Qingping Town.

At the same time.

All mobile phones with signal sources in Qingping Town received an emergency message.

[Warning! Warning! Flood strikes, all people, please go to higher ground immediately. All people, please go to higher ground immediately]

[Warning! Warning! Flood strikes, all people, please go to higher ground immediately. All people, please go to higher ground immediately]

They were stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

The original noise suddenly stopped, as if someone had cast a mute spell on them.

A few seconds later!

"What's going on? What's going on? Is there a disaster?"

"Run! The flood is coming!"

11

Son, follow your daddy, let's go to the roof."

"Damn it, we're done for, we're done for."

The whole Qingping Town had become a chaotic mess.

And furthermore.

Just a few minutes after the air raid siren sounded.

The water level on the street, currently half a meter deep, visibly rose at a high speed, and began to flow slowly.

Then.

It seemed as if some giant monster was coming from afar.

The ground began to tremble slightly.

"Save… Save me-"

"Gurgle gurgle-"

Some people who were slow to react, or were knocked down by the chaotic crowd, were directly submerged by the water.

Danger! People are going to die!

At this very critical moment.

.High in the sky.

A Daoist dressed in a robe, wearing cloth shoes, and holding a faintly glowing duster, who was floating above the clouds…. took action!

Translator: 549690339

Gazing at the scene on the street.

Xuanqing's eyes were sharp.

With a sweep of his whisk in hand, a strong wind appeared, heading towards the buildings in the small town.

The fierce wind roared –

Crack-crack!

Wood chips flew.

Foam boxes, bed boards, tire plastic bottles and everything else that could float on the water were blown away by the strong wind.

People who were originally struggling in the water, managed to actually grab floating objects in their random flailing under the heave water, rising to the surface.

"Huff-"

The drowning people breathed fresh air once again.

Following that,

An even more miraculous incident occurred.

Small whirlpools appeared mysteriously in the rapid water flow, driving the water and carrying the drowning people holding onto the floating objects towards the shore.

Fear grew from the life-and-death situation.

Seeing hope, the drowning people exploded with all their might and managed to escape the flood and return to the shore.

Rescued!

Lying on the shore, they looked up at the sky, gasping heavily.

After calming down,

They faintly seemed to have seen a round, bulky object underwater, but they simply thought it was something like a bed being washed away by the flood and didn't take it to heart.

The strong wind blowing all the floating life-saving objects was Xuanqing's doing, while the whirlpool that rolled the drowning people ashore was the work of the Giant Tortoise.

The reason for transforming the River God Giant Turtle was not only to eliminate the sense of separation but also partly because of this disaster.

Those who embrace firewood for others should not let them freeze to death in the snow!

Those who offer incense for a humble Taoist should not let them drown in the flood!

For Xuanqing,

These visitors, who came to Qingping Temple to offer incense and contribute ingots, were good people, and naturally, they could not allow them to die in the flood.

On the other side,

At a road junction on a National Road through the Qingping Mountain Range, which allowed for U-turns,

A huge locust tree had collapsed, blocking the road and forcing drivers to turn around.

Many vehicles visiting Qingping Mountain or passing by the National Road in the mountain range cursed and scolded upon seeing the tree lying in the middle of the road, but ultimately, they had to obediently turn around.

Hidden,

Observing all of this, Huai Qingyun couldn't help but mutter:

"Hmph, these people are indeed biting the hand that feeds them. They don't appreciate the kindness of others. Daoist Master is saving you."

However,

Huai Qingyun just complained a few words and didn't take it to heart. After all, those who didn't know couldn't be blamed; these people didn't know there would be a mudslide ahead.

After waiting for a while,

Finally,

Dozens of red fire trucks drove towards him from a distance.

Upon seeing this,

Huai Qingyun was invigorated.

"The rescue team has arrived. Finally, 1 can go back-"

The next moment,

His figure disappeared, and along with it, the huge locust tree lying in the middle of the road vanished as well.

Elsewhere,

In the county town,

The events happening far away in the small town did not affect the life in the county town.

Beep-beep beep beep

On the crowded roads, vehicles were coming and going, with the rumbling of engines mixed with the honking of horns.

A black business car was heading for the Business Department in the county town.

In the car,

Lily was driving intently.

The back seat was occupied by her boss, Sis Ying, the General Manager of Liucheng County Traditional Culture Tourism Co., Ltd.!

"Turn off the radio, and let me know when we arrive. I'm going to take a nap." Yang Ying yawned, exhausted.

"Alright!"

Lily nodded.

Just as she was about to press the button to turn off the radio,

Suddenly.

[Breaking news: at 9:15 this morning, a major disaster occurred in Liucheng

County's Qingping Town…]

Lily was taken aback!

She came to her senses, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She is not the only one.

Yang Ying, who was sitting in the back row, also lost her sleepiness.

'Flood,' 'rescue,' 'urgent situation,' and other words echoed in their ears, making them think back…

What if… what if Daoist Priest Xuanqing hadn't stopped them.

Following their original plan, they would have passed through Qingping Town today on their way to promote their event in Liujia Town.

Yang Ying had already experienced several miraculous incidents.

She was the first to come to her senses, "Focus on driving, remember what I told you, some things are better left unsaid."

Hoo- Got..got it."

Lily took a deep breath, the shock in her eyes lingering.

The time was in the afternoon.

More than half a day had passed since the flood.

Thanks to the efforts of countless firefighters, all the trapped tourists were rescued.

Many journalists and self-media recorded this scene of unity and strength.

However.

When counting the casualties, the data showed 260 injured… and zero deaths, shocking everyone.

Yes.

Many people were injured, but no one had died in this major flood.

Upon seeing this situation…

Some opportunistic journalists and self-media reporters had hungry, wolf-like eyes. As news practitioners, they knew what this meant.

The shock that the 'zero casualties' data brought to the people in the small town.

As for Xuanqing, who caused this situation, he had returned to the Taoist temple.

In the front yard.

Xuanqing looked up slightly at the clear sky after the rain.

He saw that the disaster aura floating over Qingping Town began to fade at a visible speed as soon as the fire and rescue team entered the small town.

Eventually.

All the disaster aura disappeared!

"Good, it's about time."

Xuanqing's mouth curled up slightly, and he closed his eyes as if waiting for something.

The next moment!

Hhumming-

A small cluster of bluish-green special energy appeared out of thin air and circled around his body.

It was… Human Merit!

With a touch of his fingertip.

The small cluster of Human Merit in front of him seemed to be attracted to something and rapidly entered his body.

[Ding! 101 Human Merit, do you want to exchange it for 6060 Ingots?]

"No exchange!"

Xuanqing said calmly.

He used to do it out of necessity, but now that he can easily obtain Ingots, he will not pick up sesame seeds and lose his watermelon.

It's a pity that even if it's a disaster relief in the Game World, Human Merit can't be obtained!"

Just as he was feeling regretful.

Suddenly!

Three consecutive beeps sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, for accumulating 100 Human Merit points and officially binding your Game Login Device! ]

[Ding! Congratulations, player, for receiving the Novice Gift Package*i, which has been sent to your backpack.]

[Ding! Congratulations, player, for successfully opening the Game Mall!]

????

After three beeping sounds fell.

Humming-

Xuanqing felt as though there was now an icon for a 'Game Login Device' in his mind.

From now on, he doesn't need to use a phone, just a thought and he can freely log into the Game World.

Moreover.

As long as he focuses on the icon, he can monitor the characters' situation in the Game World through it..

Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Operating Space for New Features!

Translator: 549690339

"No wonder, no wonder it's been so long, and 1 still have to rely on my phone to log in to the game!"

"It turns out… I haven't even officially bound this login device!"

Xuanqing felt somewhat bewildered.

In fact.

Ever since the Immortal Cultivation Game logging device was activated on his phone, he had a lingering concern.

What if the phone eventually disintegrates as time goes by? How would he log in to the game then?

Moreover, he didn't dare to tamper with the phone at will, lest he accidentally ruins it, and then he wouldn't be able to log in. Wouldn't that be a mess?

Now it's all good.

Officially binding the game login device and separating it from the phone only requires the use of the intention and allows him to log in to the Game World freely.

"Right, after officially binding, I also received a newbie gift pack and unlocked the game store."

"Let's take a look at this newbie gift pack first."

He opened the Game Backpack.

As expected.

Inside, there was an additional glowingly wrapped gift box, similar to those found in regular games.

[Do you want to open the newbie gift package?]

"Open!"

With a burst of dazzling special effects.

[888 Gold Ingot Exchange Coupon *1]

[Fasting Pills * 10]

[Newbie Sect Clothing Set *1]

[Basic Breathing Exercise *1]

He was speechless.

Absolutely speechless.

Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly.

No wonder the game was so odd when he first started playing.

Starting with constant near-death from hunger, not even getting a piece of clothing, and even his cultivation techniques were the same health-preserving methods he practiced for many years.

As it turns out.

After officially binding the System, he could get the 'Newbie Gift Pack', and all the initial difficulties would no longer be a problem.

"Game login device, i feel like you're playing me!"

Xuanqing couldn't help but complain.

Even with his current state of mind, he could hardly restrain himself.

"Cold and Eternal, Silent World, serenity in my heart, I alone am the deity, the heart and the divine…"

After reciting the Serenity Spell, only then did the turbulent emotions calm down.

With just a thought.

He took the 'Newbie Sect Clothing Set' out of the Game Backpack.

A dark blue Taoist robe, a pair of appropriate Taoist shoes, a belt, a hairband… everything was complete.

The Taoist robe felt smooth and ice-cold to touch, and he didn't know what material it was made of. It was much better than the ordinary clothes he was wearing.

Without hesitation, he changed into the suit.

"Comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, breathable, even better than the Jiao skin fabric gifted by the Black Dragon Pool's Water God."

Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

Having checked the newbie gift pack.

It was time to study what the newly unlocked 'Game Mall' was all about.

With a thought.

"Open the game store!"

A translucent projection appeared in his mind.

The appearance of the game store was similar to most online game stores, with merchandise displayed in a squared frame, and prices shown at the back of the items.

However.

What's different was that there were only three pitiful items in this game store.

They were: Subsistence Pill (7), Taoist Novice Suit (100), Basic Breathing Technique (100)

The name of the item was followed by a number in parentheses, which represented the selling price of the item.

[Friendly reminder: If you need more merchandise, please upload items manually! ]

Listening to the prompt tone in his mind.

Xuanqing had a thought.

Being able to upload items freely to the Game Mall and then purchase without limit?

If that's really the case, there's a lot of room for operation in this Game Mall.

"Let's give it a try!"

After that.

He took out a Ginseng Fruit from his Game Backpack and silently said in his mind, "Upload!"

[Product uploading… 1%….5%…40%…99%…100%!]

[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful, Mall increment: Ginseng Fruit (30,000)]

Around thirty minutes later, the upload was completed, according to the progress bar that increased.

Refreshing the mall.

In addition to the initial three items, another baby flesh-colored fruit appeared.

"The price is quite expensive!"

Xuanqing did the math.

Accelerating the Ginseng Fruit Tree for nine thousand years costs ninety thousand Ingots to harvest thirty Ginseng Fruits, averaging only three thousand Ingots each.

If you want to buy one separately in the Game Mall, it will cost thirty thousand points.

However.

On second thought.

Purchasing from the mall, which is a product created out of thin air, is barely justifiable if the price is a bit higher.

"Let's try other items."

Opening the Game Backpack once again.

He took out a small jade bottle, poured out a fragrant elixir, which was the Coagulation Soul Pill refined by Gentleman Bai She.

"Upload!"

After a series of progress bars, the Coagulation Soul Pill was successfully added, it did not disappear, and another product was added to the mall.

Coagulation Soul Pill (250)

A hundred-year-old Ghost Grass costs 1000 Ingots, and Gentleman Bai She can refine eight Coagulation Soul Pills from it, averaging 125 Ingots each.

Subtracting the cost of failed alchemy, it's also around 150-160 Ingots.

From a price standpoint, it's still very uneconomical.

"It seems that buying items in the mall, which can be obtained using the time acceleration function, is always a loss."

"This Game Mall is more suitable for buying non-renewable items!"

"However, uploading items does not cause the item itself to disappear, so it can be…"

Xuanqing's mouth curved slightly upward, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Since uploading items won't cause them to disappear, might as well upload the Ginseng Fruit Tree of Wuzhuang Temple to the Mall.

Not only that.

The Flat Peach Tree that matures every nine thousand years in the Heavenly Court's Flat Peach Garden can also be added to the Mall.

Even… Golden Cudgel, Nine-tooth Rake, Wind-fixing Pearl… even Ancestor Master's Vajra Talisman, various magical treasures can be collected as well.

These things are unique in the world, of course, even if they are added to the Mall, they still need enough Ingots to purchase them.

"Phew-"

"I never thought that the correct way to use the Immortal Cultivation Game

Login Device is to save a hundred people first!"

"After holding the Ascension Conference, let's go to Wuzhuang Temple, upload the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and see how many Ingots it takes to purchase and exchange."

Xuanqing took a deep breath, thinking this in his heart.

The opening of the Game Mall is just as significant to him as when he first got the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device.

Now.

After opening the Game Mall, the usefulness of Ingots has increased once again.

So.

Before returning to the game to hold the Ascension Conference, he plans to solve the financial problems in the real world first.

With this in mind.

Xuanqing took out his phone and called Elder Jingde.

Ding- Ding Ding

"Haha, it turns out to be young friend Xuanqing, what's the matter?"

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, I have a path to wealth here, and I want to cooperate with you.."

Chapter 125: Chapter 124:1 sell air at a high price.

Translator: 549690339

Changling City Daoist Association.

Quiet Room.

An old Daoist priest and a young Taoist were sitting in front of a tea table, and they were none other than Elder Jingde and Xuanqing, who had flown over.

"Young friend, you mentioned in the phone call just now that there is a way to make money. What do you mean?" Elder Jingde asked while pouring tea.

"I have a treasure that is said to cure diseases and prolong life. I want to create a production line to specifically package and sell air."

Xuanqing said in a deep voice.

The treasure he was referring to was naturally the Ginseng Fruit. As for the description of this treasure, the actual effect might be somewhat exaggerated, but it can still prolong life by a hundred years.

If the fragrance of the Ginseng Fruit were packaged in sealed capsules, could they be sold?

At this moment.

Upon hearing these words,

Elder Jingde couldn't help but shake his hand, spilling tea water on the table.

His expression was bewildered.

"Young friend, are you saying…you want to sell air that, when smelled, can prolong life?" Elder Jingde was dumbfounded.

Although he knew that this young friend had refined divine powers, he still couldn't imagine a treasure that could prolong life just by smelling it. It couldn't be Ginseng Fruit, could it?

"Although it can prolong life, I haven't tried its specific effects."

Xuanqing nodded.

Seeing that Elder Jingde was somewhat skeptical, Xuanqing was not upset. After all, if someone had never seen Ginseng Fruit, why would they believe it?

With a thought,

He took out a Ginseng Fruit from his game backpack and placed it on the table.

"Here- Smell it, and you'll understand!"

However,

Upon seeing this scene,

Elder Jingde's face changed abruptly, and he quickly stepped back.

Bang-

The chair beneath him, which was disturbed by this sudden movement, fell over.

He never expected that the treasure mentioned by the other party would turn out to be a living…baby?

????

Seeing Elder Jingde's reaction,

Xuanqing understood that Elder Jingde must have misunderstood.

However, anyone who hadn't seen the Ginseng Fruit without any prior warning would certainly be confused.

"Elder Jingde, look closely. This is not a baby, but a Ginseng Fruit!" Xuanqing pointed to the table, explaining helplessly.

Elder Jingde was stunned.

Looking closely, he noticed something different about the Ginseng Fruit.

Small!

It was too small –

Even an undeveloped baby should not be the size of a fist.

Moreover, although its color is similar to flesh, its surface is extremely smooth, and there are even two leaves growing on top of it.

"Indeed, it's not…" Elder Jingde agreed, nodding his head. However, he soon realized that this might not be a baby, but rather…

"You just said this is…Ginseng..Ginseng Fruit?"

"Is it the legendary Ginseng Fruit that can extend life for forty thousand seven years when eaten and three hundred and six when smelled?"

Elder Jingde's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression became even more horrified.

This…this…

This was even more unbelievable than his previous guess. Although the former was somewhat evil, it was at least possible. The latter, however, seemed to exist only in myths and legends.

"Old Dao, you should smell it first!" Xuanqing reminded him.

Upon hearing this,

"Huff-"

Elder Jingde took a deep breath, reached out with his right hand, and carefully picked up the Ginseng Fruit on the table.

Placing it under his nose, he took a tentative sniff.

Immediately,

An indescribable fragrance filled his nostrils. As he pondered what kind of scent it was, the chaotic Qi contained within the fragrance of the Ginseng Fruit reached his lungs through his nostrils.

In an instant,

His aging lungs began to rejuvenate at a visible speed under the nourishment of the chaotic Qi.

Using the lungs as a foundation, it began to surge towards his internal organs.

The heartbeat of his heart revived, and it began to beat strongly like that of a young person. The cells in his blood became more energetic as well.

These were changes that were happening internally.

Externally, the visible changes were even more astonishing.

Sagging skin gradually tightened, white hair turned black again, and murky eyes regained clarity.

He looked…nothing like an eighty-year-old man, but rather a man in his thirties in the prime of his life!

At this moment,

Elder Jingde trembled as he stretched out his hands, looking at his youthful skin in shock.

"Hiss…."

"It's really Ginseng Fruit, is there really such a treasure in this world?"

Elder Jingde stared at the Ginseng Fruit in his hand with obsessed eyes. A trace of greed was even born in his heart, wanting to swallow the Ginseng Fruit in one gulp.

In the end, reason triumphed over desire.

He carefully placed the Ginseng Fruit back on the table.

"All- I almost lost my Dao heart, young friend. Which official can withstand such a test?" Elder Jingde sighed with sadness.

When he thought about how he had almost given in to greed and nearly swallowed the fruit, he felt a lingering fear.

If he had really done that, even if they had a good relationship, Xuanqing would probably strike him with a spell.

"Daoist, you didn't eat it, did you?"

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.

Actually,

If Jingde had really given in to temptation and stolen the fruit to eat it, Xuanqing would not have blamed him, but he knows their fate would have come to an end.

After all, with the vast energy contained in the Ginseng Fruit, if he had swallowed it, his body would have exploded and died, so there would be no fate to speak of anyway-

Hearing this,

Elder Jingde rolled his eyes in annoyance.

After thinking for a moment,

"I understand your meaning now. You want to use the Ginseng Fruit as a foundation to establish an air capsule production line, right?"

"Yes!" Xuanqing nodded in agreement and then added:

"Once the capsules are produced, the effect may not be as optimal as directly smelling the fruit, but they will still be effective for prolonging life and allowing people to live a few more years."

"It's not difficult to establish a production line, but…" Elder Jingde hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"However, once the life extension capsules come out, they will inevitably cause a sensation in the world, and the eyes of the world will be focused on them. As for the safety of the Ginseng Fruit…"

However,

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, "By then, the production line will be established at Qingping Mountain, so there will be no security issues."

He had considered this issue from the beginning.

In terms of security, he could set up a formation, and with the Mountain God Huai Qingyun, no one would be able to attempt to steal the Ginseng Fruit unless they were faced with a large army.

"Alright, since you're so confident, I'll trust you."

Elder Jingde sighed with relief.

He knew very well that the emergence of such a treasure would cause an impact no less than a worldwide earthquake.

It seemed that the seemingly immortal young friend Xuanqing had no fear, but he, an old man, could not bear such tremendous pressure.

And so, the matter was settled.

Xuanqing put the Ginseng Fruit on the table back into his game backpack.

When he was about to leave,

Suddenly,

"Wait.."

Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Ascending the Heavenly Court Again.

Translator: 549690339

Elder Jingde stood up with a shy smile on his face, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Well, young friend, can 1, can I smell it one more time and live another 360 years?"

Hearing this.

Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh and cry in his heart.

He thought it was something serious.

"Hahaha, Elder Jingde, this fruit relies on smell, and the limit is to live an extra

360 years. Even if you smell more, it will have no effect."

While speaking.

He took out a Ginseng fruit he had previously collected from his game backpack.

"Here, try it if you don't believe me."

"Alright!"

Elder Jingde did not hold back, took the ginseng fruit and started smelling it, as if doing so could increase his lifespan.

However.

No matter how much he inhaled, at most he could only feel a refreshing fragrance, but without the previous change in vitality.

"All- it's just my greed getting in the way. Living an extra 360 years is already a blessing for a human Jingde woke up from his stupor, ashamedly and handed back the ginseng fruit.

"Daoist Priest, there's no need for such formality. If there is a chance in the future to step onto the path of cultivation, a mere 360 years won't be worth mentioning."

Xuanqing said indifferently.

As his words echoed.

Elder Jingde's body trembled, and he asked incredulously: "Young friend, are you saying… 1 might have a chance to step onto the path of cultivation in the future?"

"In the future., perhaps there is a chance!"

Xuanqing's eyes gazed into the distance, speaking leisurely.

To start cultivation on Earth without spiritual qi, one would either have to suck his blood and grow from it, or find a spiritual qi-rich planet outside Earth and merge it with Earth.

He didn't want to resort to the former, while the latter was beyond his capabilities.

However.

Everything is different now.

With the opening of the game store, anything can be collected and then exchanged using ingots.

Not to mention other things.

Just getting a ginseng fruit tree and planting it on Earth, the tree can absorb Chaotic Qi and continuously produce spiritual qi.

Naturally.

All of this is just an ideal assumption.

Whether or not it can make Earth produce spiritual qi depends on the ingot cost after the ginseng fruit tree is collected in the store.

Or if the Earth's environment can even support ginseng fruit trees in the first place.

After all.

The growth of the ginseng fruit tree requires rooting its tendrils in the Chaos Void, God knows if this universe has such a thing as the Chaos Void.

Of course.

All this is beside the point now.

Worth mentioning is that before he left the Changling City Dao Association, he cast a spell to restore Elder Jingde's appearance to its original aged state to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"We will meet again in the future!"

"May you have Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, until we meet again!"

Elder Jingde bowed his hands in return and watched the other party leave.

Qingping Mountain.

Xuanqing didn't return to the main room to enter the game directly.

Instead, he came to the back mountain of Qingping Mountain, where he had originally arranged the 'Bewilderment Formation'.

He planned to establish the production line of life extension capsules here.

In this case, a mere Bewilderment Formation is not enough, and he would need to arrange another layer of Five Elements Ring Array outside the formation.

"The Five Elements Ring Array, built upon the power of the Five Elements, draws from the natural forces of Heaven and Earth. The formation is interlocked, and unless one has the power to destroy the Heaven and Earth, it will be impossible to break the formation."

Xuanqing's eyes shone brightly.

With a single thought.

Five blank jade charms floated in the air.

He extended his fingertips, transforming them into a brush, and began to inscribe one of the blank jade charms.

Gold charm… Success!

Aiming for the next jade charm.

Wood charm… Success!

Water charm… Fire charm… Earth charm all succeeded!

"Order!"

Xuanqing threw all the jade charms out.

The five differently colored jade charms constantly rotated in the air, emitting a dazzling, multicolored light.

Om Om-

There was a mysterious fluctuation in the air.

The five jade talismans of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth flew in different directions: east, south, west, north, and center.

In an instant.

Each jade talisman emitted a colorful pillar of light that linked together, forming a closed loop.

The array was complete!

"This Five Elements Ring Array connects the back mountain of the entire Qingping Mountain Range. Unless a nuclear bomb is detonated, it cannot harm the formation in the slightest," said Xuanqing, satisfied with the strength of the formation.

Back in his room.

He didn't immediately enter the game but instead summoned Huai Qingyun, who had become a subordinate Earth God, through the Immortal Official's Jade Seal.

A moment later.

"Sir, you called for me?" Huai Qingyun bowed.

Xuanqing nodded.

Then.

He took the jade from his backpack that he had bought previously.

"Qingyun, now that you have become an Earth God, it's time to learn the carving technique for the Gathering Qi Bead!" Xuanqing said, pointing to the pile of jade in front of him.

Upon hearing this.

"What's a Gathering Qi Bead, and what's it for?" Huai Qingyun was a bit confused.

"Stop talking nonsense! If 1 tell you to learn, just learn!"

"Oh oh..okay-"

An hour later.

After watching Huai Qingyun successfully carve a Gathering Qi Bead.

"You did well. Your next task is to carve this pile of jade into Gathering Qi Beads. Understand?" Xuanqing patted Huai Qingyun's shoulder.

Oh… Understood-" Huai Qingyun nodded.

"Alright, off you go!"

After watching Huai Qingyun leave.

Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion.

With a thought in his mind.

"Enter the game!"

Game World.

Black Wind Town.

In the Divine Realm of the Temples and Taoist Temples.

"Huh-"

Xuanqing opened his eyes and woke up.

With such a long period of hang-up cultivation, his cultivation had significantly improved, and his body as a Heavenly Immortal was even more stable.

"There is nothing to worry about in the real world for now, so I'll focus mainly on this side," thought Xuanqing.

Next.

There were many things he needed to do.

First of all.

He had gained so many Ginseng Fruits from Great Immortal Zhenyuan, and he could certainly give some to Ancestor Master.

He had asked Ancestor Master for cultivation techniques, magic treasures, and even used Ancestor Master's name to intimidate Guanyin of Shimen.

One should have a conscience and know what it means to respect one's teacher and follow the Taoist principles.

"There are still five months left before the Ascension Conference, which equals roughly half a day in the Heavenly Court. There should be plenty of time to deliver some gifts," he thought.

With that in mind.

Xuanqing planned to go to the Heavenly Court to send Ginseng Fruits to Ancestor Master.

Of course.

As a newly ascended Heavenly Immortal, he couldn't rely on his own power to go to the Heavenly Court yet.

But that didn't bother him.

If he didn't have enough power to go to the Heavenly Court, he could borrow external power.

Slap-

He opened the Immortal Official's Jade Seal around his waist, and his divine thoughts poured into it, connecting to the Tai Bai Star Lord of Seven Luminaries inside.

"Star Lord, I have a favor to ask!"

Chapter 127: Chapter 126: The Shock of the Star Lords.

Translator: 549690339

Heavenly Court.

The Jinmuzhu of the Seven Dictions is lying down prostrate.

Before a chessboard.

Two immortals sit facing each other.

One is entirely red with many flesh tumors on his head.

The other looks like a proper Daoist immortal with a fairylike demeanor, and white hair and beard, holding a whisk in his hand.

A white flag falls.

A large number of black flags are eliminated, and the chess game instantly forms a crushing momentum.

"Haha- Lord Iluo De, you lose again-" Star Lord Taibai smiles while stroking his beard.

"Well, Taibai, can 1 owe you? The fairy brew bestowed by the Jade Emperor some days ago is down to the last bottle." Lord Iluo De chuckles twice.

"Hey- You have to accept losing a bet. There's no such thing as owing."

"Besides, as the two of us are luminaries among the Seven Dictions in the Three Realms, wouldn't it tarnish our reputation if we went around owing?"

Star Lord Taibai leisurely says.

"Enough, enough- People say that you, as the Jinmuzhu, are overbearing, but in my opinion, you're totally a talker-" Lord Iluo De has no choice but to admit defeat.

"Hahaha, give me the fairy brew!"

Star Lord Taibai laughs heartily, in a very good mood.

It's not because he won a bottle of fairy brew, but because he enjoys spending each day drinking and playing chess with his immortal friends and Daoist companions.

As the two chat.

Suddenly.

"Huh?"

Star Lord Taibai raises an eyebrow and lightly exclaims!

"What is it?" Lord Iluo De asks in confusion.

"Nothing, just a young friend in the Lower Realm triggered a divine command and wants to borrow my power." Star Lord Taibai laughs as he waves his hand.

Having said that.

Lord Huo De is even more curious. There are very few cultivators in the Lower Realms today who can be referred to as 'young friends' by his old friend.

"Is it Yuan Tiangang of the Great Tang, or Li Chunfeng?" Lord Huo De casually asks.

"No!"

"Is it Wei Zheng, the official of the people?"

"It's not."

Star Lord Taibai laughs and shakes his head, then explains: "The background of this one, is much more impressive than theirs."

"This person is known as Daoist Xuanqing, who some days ago made a spiritual journey to the Southern Heavenly Gate. Guess who commanded me to personally greet him?"

"Huh- Could it be Emperor Haotian who can mobilize us from the Seven Dictions?"

Lord Huo De's first thought is of Emperor Haotian since among the Seven Luminaries Star Monarch, the Golden Morality Taibai has the title of the Emperor's Secretary.

"Not Your Majesty, but the one from the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

At these words.

Lord Huo De is shocked.

After thinking for a moment.

"My fairy brew is all gone, and this chess game can't be played anymore. I'm idle with nothing to do, why don't 1 go with you to see this Xuanqing?"

"Good!"

Star Lord Taibai nods.

Although they are gods with divine authority, as long as there are no accidents, they don't need to actively deal with the affairs of the Three Realms, which are run by the natural laws of Heaven and Earth.

No choice, they must find some fun.

Too idle!

Meanwhile.

At the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Xuanqing arrives here once again.

However.

He didn't come this time via a spiritual journey but by borrowing the strength of Star Lord Taibai to cross the two realms with his physical body.

At the gate.

Zeng Zhang Tianwang is still guarding it.

He is seen holding the Wisdom Sword and squatting beside a pillar, his head drooping and lifting at times, as if he is bored and dozing off.

Suddenly.

He feels a fluctuation.

Zeng Zhang Tianwang quickly stood up, looking around and then subconsciously scolded Xuanqing.

"Hey- Where did this Dao…Dao…Daoist Xuanqing come from?"

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, you slacker, instead of guarding the Heavenly Gate, you're squatting on the ground, dozing off and neglecting your duties, aren't you afraid of punishment?"

Xuanqing smiled slightly, flicking his whisk.

"This…uh…"

Zeng Zhang Tianwang stuttered, nodding his head, but didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't answer by saying that everyone is like this, and it's not just him. The Heavenly Court is so boring that without resting and dozing, how could one even live?

After the previous incident with Star Lord Taibai, he knew that this Taoist, who dared to defy the Guanyin Bodhisattva, also had some background.

So he didn't dare to look down upon him anymore.

At this moment.

In the distance.

Two figures, one in red and one in white, came towards the Southern Heavenly Gate, chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing this,

Zeng Zhang Tianwang's eyes lit up and he quickly shouted, "Little God pays his respects to the two Star Lord!"

"Hmm!"

Star Lord Taibai and Lord Huo De snorted lightly, as if saying hello, then passed by Zeng Zhang Tianwang and headed out of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

They ignored him, disregarding his presence.

On one hand, he was just a gatekeeper, not even from the same sect, and on the other hand, they were both among the Seven Luminaries Star Monarchs of the Heavenly Court. A mere snort was already an act of showing respect to a humble scholar.

At this moment.

Seeing Star Lord Taibai coming over, accompanied by a red-colored Immortal who looked exactly like Lord Huo De from the myths, Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the Star Lord would come to greet him in person again. Wasn't this giving him too much face?

Of course, he would never think that the reason why the other party did this was because they were simply bored and looking for something to do.

"Junior Xuanqing pays his respects to the two Star Lords!" Xuanqing held his hands in a mudra, slightly bowing.

"Haha, it's only been a few days, young friend, and you're still as elegant as ever-"

Star Lord Taibai nodded slightly.

Lord Huo De, standing beside him, looked Xuanqing up and down, surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that this Daoist Xuanqing actually possessed the Body of a Heavenly Immortal.

A few days?

Xuanqing was taken aback before realizing that one day in the Heavenly Court equaled one year on earth. So for Star Lord Taibai, it probably was just the time since they last parted at Douluo Palace.

"To speak frankly, this time, junior has asked for your help, Lord Taibai, to use the Teleportation Array once more and send me to the Thirty-Three Heavens."

Upon hearing this,

Star Lord Taibai was a little surprised.

"In that case, let's go. We'll talk while we walk."

"Alright!"

The three of them stepped into the Southern Heavenly Gate.

As for the gatekeeper Zeng Zhang Tianwang, in other people's eyes, he might be the famous 'guard' of the Southern Heavenly Gate, one of the four venerable Shimen Heavenly Kings.

But in the eyes of these powerful beings, he was no more than a…gatekeeper.

On the way to the Ascension Altar.

While walking,

Star Lord Taibai and Xuanqing chatted first.

Most of it was Star Lord Taibai asking about the Lower Realm's affairs, and Xuanqing choosing interesting topics to talk about.

Fire Deity Star Monarch beside them remained silent, only occasionally nodding in agreement.

When they arrived at the Ascension Altar,

"Senior Star Lord Taibai, the favor you did for me last time is still not repaid. 1 am ashamed to trouble you again. I have nothing else to offer but a few Ginseng Fruits. Please accept them as a token of my gratitude. 1 hope you won't mind!"

Xuanqing cupped his hands in greeting.

Upon seeing this,

Star Lord Taibai gasped, and Lord Huo De's eyes also widened.

Both were shocked.

What is a Ginseng Fruit?

It was the unique possession of one of the top powerhouses in the Three Realms, the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, Zhenyuan Great Immortal. No one else had ever heard of owning such a thing.

But just now, this young friend Xuanqing said he has 'a few' Ginseng Fruits. The implication of this was self-evident.

"Young friend, are you familiar with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan too?"

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Dare to take advantage of Ancestor Master?

Translator: 549690339

Xuanqing nodded with gratitude and said, "The Great Immortal has shown great kindness towards me, not only gifting me the ginseng fruits but also aiding me in achieving this heavenly immortal body."

Upon hearing this.

The two of them were even more shocked.

Sure enough.

From the moment Taoist Xuanqing took out the ginseng fruit, it indicated his association with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. Now upon listening, it turned out that even the heavenly immortal body was a favor from the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

Incredible- Absolutely incredible!

What is the background of this Xuanqing?

Star Lord Taibai silently pondered. If Xuanqing was merely a disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, it wouldn't have merited such a devotion from the Great Immortal.

"You are a blessed young man, truly enviable!" Star Lord Taibai bowed his hand and added, "Well then, I shall take the ginseng fruit with gratitude."

Upon saying so.

He accepted the ginseng fruit from his hands.

Since everyone was a cultivator, there was no need to fuss over it like ordinary mortals. Moreover, a give and take relationship lasted longer.

While talking.

The three had already arrived beside the Ascension Altar.

"Young friend, we've now arrived at the Ascension Altar, so I won't be accompanying you up. Hopefully, in the future, we'll have a chance to get closer." Star Lord Taibai chuckled with a bow in his hands.

Xuanqing quickly raised his fingers, bowed in respect and said, "Thank you, Elder Taibai and Elder Huode, I shall take my leave now."

Taking a step forward, he entered the Ascension Altar.

Humming-

With a familiar sensation of dizziness, he was transferred to the upper heavens.

When he opened his eyes again.

He found himself outside the Douluo Palace.

The Golden Child Jin Ling and the Silver Child Yin Ling were already expectantly waiting.

"May you enjoy immeasurable longevity and fortune. 1 pay my respect to my two senior brothers." Xuanqing politely greeted them with a bow.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing, Sir has sent us to receive you!"

"Indeed- Indeed."

The two child-like beings were thrilled to see Xuanqing. For them, the time spent with Junior Brother Xuanqing was the happiest since they had arrived at the Heavenly Court.

As their words fell.

The two child-like beings, one on the right and one on the left, held Xuanqing's hands and led him into the Douluo Palace.

"Junior Brother, you left last time without finishing your story. We've been tormented by endless thoughts and sleepless nights. After you've finished with your tasks, you must complete the story!" Yin Ling Tongzi said expectantly.

"True! What my brother said is true. We couldn't sleep at night-" Jin Ling Tongzi also nodded and echoed.

Xuanqing smiled wryly and explained, "One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth. I have important matters to attend to in the lower realm. I'm afraid I will have to tell the story to my two senior brothers at a later time." "All.. 1 see, all right!"

The two child-like beings were immediately disheartened, but they were also courteous and understood not to interfere with their junior brother's business due to their own desires.

Arriving at the entrance of the Ancestor Master's room.

Xuanqing respectfully bowed and spoke loudly, "Disciple Xuanqing, seeking an audience with Ancestor Master!"

"Enter!"

The ethereal voice seemed to echo from all directions.

He entered the room.

"Xuanqing, instead of cultivating earnestly in the lower realm, what brings you to my Douluo Palace?" Taishang Laojun asked calmly, with his back turned to him.

"Reporting to Ancestor Master, the disciple happened upon some ginseng fruits in Wuzhuang Temple. Bearing in mind the great kindness and virtue of the Ancestor Master towards me, I came here to offer them to you!"

Xuanqing lowered his head, with a respectful expression on his face.

While talking.

He took out four hundred ginseng fruits from his game backpack, leaving more than a hundred for himself to cultivate.

Upon witnessing this.

Taishang Laojun finally turned around, a clear look of admiration in his eyes.

"Oh?"

"Is your heart truly willing to give up a large portion of this precious Ginseng Fruit to honor me?" The Old Lord asked with interest.

"Willing, of course 1 am willing."

Xuanqing smiled and immediately explained, "My entrance into this path of cultivation is all thanks to the protection of Ancestor Master. Without Ancestor Master's help, all would be in vain!"

Upon hearing this sincere and heartfelt words…

The Old Lord was very pleased and even more satisfied.

"Good lad, this Ginseng Fruit can increase your cultivation when you consume it, but for me, it only satisfies my taste buds. Are you sure you are willing to give them up?"

"Compared to the favor of the Ancestor Master, these mere four hundred Ginseng Fruits really don't count. Ancestor Master, please just take it," Xuanqing said again.

Upon hearing this…

"Hahahaha-"

The Old Lord responded with a hearty laugh, "You little slick, your words are watertight."

"Well, besides your intentions, this conduct reflects your filial piety. I certainly should not be petty."

"I have here a book of the 'Tiangang Thirty-Six Method', it will be my gift to you."

"Besides these Ginseng Fruits… I will keep a few, the leftover will be refined into Chaos Pills."

With that said…

The Old Lord waved his duster, and with just one move, he took away all the over five hundred Ginseng Fruits. He then formed a golden beam of light with his finger and shot it towards Xuanqing.

Whoosh-

Xuanqing was momentarily dazed.

Then, he found that in his mind, there appeared a copy of the 'Tiangang Thirty-Six Method' divine power techniques.

It's worth mentioning.

Many people misunderstand that the Thirty-Six Method is about morphing into thirty-six different things, but that's incorrect.

'Tiangang Thirty-Six Method', refers to the thirty-six different divine abilities of the Taoist practice, among them are: Reversal of Creation, Reversing Yin and Yang, Moving Stars and Changing Constellations, Reversing Time, Summoning Wind and Rain, Shaking Mountains and Moving Earth, Fog Riding

These techniques…

Even if you individually take out one divine power, it's an extraordinary power. Now, all these thirty-six powers integrated into one, it's power and creativity are limitless.

"I wholeheartedly thank Ancestor Master for his generous gifts."

Xuanqing's heart was filled with joy.

Indeed…

He needed to keep clutching at the strong thigh. The Taoist has always valued deeds over intent. Just as long as he expressed his filial piety, given the magnanimity of the Ancestor Master, he would surely not treat him unfairly.

All of a sudden…

He remembered a problem. Although he didn't know what a Chaos Pill was, the fact that it was made from Ginseng Fruit told him that it wasn't something ordinary.

Normally, the more precious the elixir, the longer the time required to refine it.

And with one day in heaven equating to one year on earth… if it turned out to be ninety-nine days and eighty-one nights, wouldn't he have to wait for eighty-one years in the human world?

With that thought…

Xuanqing couldn't help but ask: "Ancestor Master, how much time will it take to refine the Chaos Pill?"

Upon hearing this…

"To refine this pill, it needs to undergo alternation of gentle and high heat in the Eight Trigram Furnace for forty-nine days before it can be completed!" The Old Lord responded with a meaningful smile.

Actually…

He was fully aware of what Xuanqing was thinking.

Sure enough…

Once he mentioned forty-nine days, this little slick didn't show any expression, but he could feel his disappointment.

As a result…

The smile on the Old Lord's face was even greater. He waved his hand and said, "Off you go. One day in heaven is one year on earth. You just have to wait for another forty-nine years in the lower realm until the pill is ready."

"Ancestor Master…-"

Having said that…

He waved his duster with his right hand and without letting him finish speaking, he sent him back to the lower realm.

After he completely left and disappeared…

"Hahaha- This bold and reckless little slick thinks he can take advantage of the Ancestor Master!"

Although the Old Lord was saying this…

The look of admiration in his eyes grew even deeper.

The Taoist has never needed people who are blindly loyal. Those with courage, a keen mind, and an understanding of flexibility are often the ones who can do things better..
