Chapter 171: Chapter 170: God tablets are spread all over the Taoist community.

Translator: 549690339

Dozens of blue rays shot out, and each Taoist, including the Old Heavenly Master, received one.

In an instant.

The blue rays entered their bodies and settled in their Dantians.

Everyone felt the mana in their Dantians, and they were extremely excited. This was genuine true method! They couldn't help but try to control the mana in their Dantians.

However.

They found that the mana in their Dantians was as hard as a stubborn rock. No matter how much they tried to control it, it remained immovable.

One by one, their faces turned red, but they couldn't control their Dantians' mana at all.

At this moment.

The voice of the palace lord rang in their ears again.

"You just need to call out the divine name, and you can use this mana!"

After the voice fell, the palace lord waved the whisk in his hand, wrapped the child envoy, and disappeared from the Discussion Hall with a whoosh.

"Calling out the divine name… What's the divine name of the palace lord?"

"Elder Jingming, are you stupid? The palace lord is a Standard Sixth-grade Daoist Immortal Officer!"

The Taoists came back to their senses.

"Taiji Left Palace Registered Fairy Officer Controller Thunder Order Matter!" A Taoist murmured the divine name quietly.

As soon as the words fell.

He found that the mana in his Dantian had instantly become as easy to control as his limbs.

The Taoist condensed the mana on the sole of his foot and gently stepped on the ground.

The next moment.

A soft feeling, like stepping on tofu, spread from his foot to his mind.

"Hiss-"

The Taoist was horrified.

Looking down.

His thousand-layer tread shoes were torn, and his bare feet were deeply embedded in the ground, leaving a footprint.

The other Taoists looked over with astonishment.

To know.

The floor of the Discussion Hall was made of granite marble, harder than cement.

This scene, like in a movie, appeared before them alive. What was even more shocking was that the one who caused this was their familiar colleague.

Such a psychological impact could drive anyone insane.

Immediately.

The Taoists couldn't bear it any longer. They recited the divine names one after another, and then stretched out their right foot, trying to step on the ground like that Taoist and test whether they could leave a mark on the Discussion Hall floor.

Seeing this scene.

Old Heavenly Master Qianqing's cheeks twitched slightly, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of anger. Just as he was about to erupt, he realized that he was no longer the Heavenly Master.

He immediately tugged at the sleeve of Elder Jingde beside him, and his meaning was clear.

As the current Heavenly Master of the Taoist community, wouldn't you manage these old Taoists? Would you let them step on the Conference Hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and make holes in it?

Meanwhile.

Old Daoist Jingde just laughed and shook his head without stopping or scolding them.

He understood the feelings of these old Taoist colleagues.

Even.

When he first mastered the true method, he was more exaggerated than these old daoists, jumping up and down.

"Huh-"

Old Heavenly Master Qianqing took a deep breath, and seeing more and more holes in the Discussion Hall, he couldn't help but step forward.

"You fools! This is the Conference Hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Look at this floor… Is it still walkable?"

Old Heavenly Master Qianqing pointed at the ground with his finger, huffed his beard, and glared at them.

???

• •

The Taoists were stunned.

They looked down at the ground and saw the dense footprints which made them feel extremely ashamed.

Impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil.

You look at me… I look at you… Everyone just wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill into, it was too awkward.

Seeing this scene.

"Hahaha- There's no need to worry, fellows. It's normal to be impulsive when you've just obtained the True Method!"

Elder Jingde laughed heartily.

As he spoke, his right hand waved, striking out a streak of mana and turning it into a Qingfeng, brushing towards the ground.

In an instant.

The pitted and trampled ground, covered in footprints of the old dao, visibly returned to its originally flat state at the speed of.

Seeing this.

Everyone took a deep breath of cold air in their hearts.

It seems that this was also the real deal, people like themselves who were just temporary workers couldn't compare to Heavenly Master Jingde.

"The divine power borrowed inside your bodies is limited, so use it sparingly. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regret

Elder Jingde advised with a sentence.

"Thank you, Heavenly Master Jingde, for your advice!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Master Jingde, for your advice!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Master Jingde, for your advice!"

With a way out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly clenched their fingers in a high position above their heads, before deeply bowing to Elder Jingde.

"Alright, now let's talk about the development of Daoism in the future," Elder Jingde said solemnly.

"If Daoism wants to develop, it has to go through reforms, get rid of the high and mighty, and go deep into the lives of the people."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment.

Elder Jingde's gaze swept around the room before continuing, "This is not only the intention of the Heavenly Master but also the palace lord."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's hearts settled.

After experiencing various miracles, their admiration for Xuanqing had long been sincere. As long as it wasn't something that betrayed faith or crossed the line, they would support it unconditionally.

Seeing this scene.

Elder Jingde nodded in satisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist friends, if you want to change the status quo, the first step is from the deep mountains and old forests."

"I'm sure you've heard of the development of Changling City's Daoist community to some extent."

"What Daoism has to do next is to take the Changling City Daoist community as a blueprint and change the entire Daoist sect."

"Of course, this process requires a lot of time, a lot of money. I am willing to donate 80% of the profits from Changling Pharmaceuticals to reform Daoism!"

As soon as these words came out.

Old Master Qianqing also spoke up, "my Trauma Medicine Group, I'll contribute 80% of the profits to develop Daoism."

Everyone was slightly startled, but they immediately understood.

"I, Daoist Jingming, am willing to contribute 80% of Okra Pharmaceutical's profits to develop Daoism!"

"I, Daoist Jingling, am willing to contribute…"

"I, Jing Shan. "

With the positions of the new Heavenly Master and the old Heavenly Master made clear, and having just come into contact with True Method, the crowd of Daoists did not hesitate at all.

Compared to the True Method, worldly possessions were no nobler than feces. Moreover, these worldly needs were never the main goal of cultivation. They were merely byproducts of the process.

"Hahaha- Well well well, my fellow friends, your enlightenment is high. I, Heavenly Master, will definitely report your merits to the palace lord!"

Elder Jingde said three good words in a row, extremely satisfied with his colleagues.

"The development of Daoism is a long and arduous task that cannot be accomplished in a short period. However, there is one thing that needs to be done immediately!"

"Within three days, all Taoist temples under your jurisdiction must worship the palace lord as the main deity and replace the god tablets with those of the palace lord!"

As soon as these words came out.

"We will faithfully follow the Heavenly Master's orders!"

The Daoists immediately responded. It was something they had agreed upon beforehand, so there was nothing more to discuss..

Just when Elder Jingde, the newly appointed Heavenly Master, and numerous high-ranking members of the Daoist sect, were planning the development of their sect.

On the other side.

Xuanqing had already brought Huai Qingyun back to Qingping Mountain.

"Qingyun, practice well. Strive to break free from the restrictions of your physical body as soon as possible. Once that happens, I will grant you the title of a Roaming God!"

"Understood, I will work hard, sir. But, what is a Roaming God? My Earth Deity heritage does not seem to contain any related memories."

Huai Qingyun first nodded heavily, and then asked curiously.

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing laughed, ruffled Huai Qingyun's hair, and gently said:

"The so-called Roaming Gods, are essentially the gods that patrol around. They are divided into Day Roaming God and Night Roaming God, umm… they are kind of like the leaders of regular Earth Gods."

"Oh, I see. In that case, I will definitely try hard to become a Roaming God.

Then, the next time there's a Heavenly Master succession ceremony, you won't have to protect me all the time."

Huai Qingyun seemed to understand all at once.

"Go on, replace the Gathering Qi Beads in the eighty-one Taoist temples!"

"Yes, sir!"

Watching Huai Qingyun's hurriedly departing figure.

Xuanqing nodded in contentment.

This time, by sending Elder Jingde to the Heavenly Master's position, and gaining the allegiance of high-ranking members of the Taoist sect, the Gathering Qi Beads will surely be spread across the nation.

When that time comes…he would neither have the energy nor the time to go around and replace them individually. However, Huai Qingyun cannot stray too far from his physical body now.

So.

He had previously placed a Ginseng Fruit within Huai Qingyun's body and gave him abundant power of incense fire, hoping that his child would grow up quickly.

"When the time comes, relying on Qingyun alone will be far from sufficient. I will need to awaken some spirits locally, brand them as subordinate gods, and give their management to Qingyun!"

Xuanqing thought to himself.

Speaking of.

Among all his subordinate gods, Huai Qingyun is the one closest to him. He used to have Fat Ya too, but due to the flow of time and her mortal identity, they've grown distant.

• •

Two days later.

Accompanied by tremors from the ground.

Huai Qingyun crawled out from the ground, carrying a Sumeru Bag. The bag was naturally filled with Gathering Qi Beads that had been exchanged from the eighty-one Taoist temples.

"Sir, I've put the items here, I'll go practice now-"

"Good!"

Xuanqing nodded with a smile and waved at Huai Qingyun.

Next.

Taking out all the Gathering Qi Beads from the bag, he enveloped them with his spirit and silently said in his heart:

'Recharge!'

[1156020 ingots, your current balance: 141W ingots!]

Hearing the number of one million one hundred and fifty-six thousand echoed in his mind.

The corner of Xuanqing's mouth lifted into a small smirk.

This number was slightly more than what he had anticipated.

Moreover.

This was just from eighty-one Taoist temples. Soon, all the temples across the Daoist community will have Gathering Qi Beads installed. How much would that be?

Furthermore.

If we were to wait until the Daoist reform is fully implemented and all the branches of the Daoist temple have completed their relocation to the towns and upgrades.

In such a case, the amount of incense fire that could be gathered each day would be an immense number.

By then…he could casually eat a Ginseng Fruit, and toss it aside after just one bite. Don't ask why, simply just for the novelty-

"Now that everything seems to be taken care of in the real world, it's time to enter the game to collect Essence Flowers and achieve the Chaos Morality Holy Body!"

Xuanqing laughed lightly.

"Enter the game!"

The Game World.

In the Black Wind Mountain Taoist Temple.

"Whoo~"

Xuanqing's eyes fluttered open, awakening.

A few days had passed in the real world, but it was already close to two months in the game.

He spread his consciousness.

Then he felt that Golden Boy Jin Ling and Silver Boy Yin Ling, his two senior brothers, were still lying in bed, looking pale.

Next to the two child-like beings, two squirrels were also chirping away.

The fact that they hadn't recovered after nearly two months demonstrated how exhausting it was to continuously employ the pestle for grinding medicine.

The next moment.

Xuanqing's figure disappeared from its original place.

When he appeared again, he was beside Jin Ling and Yin Ling.

There.

The two child-like beings on the bed, sensing the movement around them, propped themselves up with their arms, their faces as white as a sheet.

"It's… Junior Brother Xuanqing."

Yin Ling nudged his head then extended his right hand to shake Jin Ling who was still asleep.

"Good brother, get up quickly, we need to assist our junior brother in his practice."

"Hmm… ugh…so sleepy- Eh… it's Junior Brother Xuanqing." Jin Ling let out a yawn and listlessly greeted him.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

After some thought.

"You two senior brothers rest first, there's no rush for me to practice."

Upon hearing this.

Although the two child-like beings sighed in relief, they still felt a bit embarrassed, thinking they were holding Xuanqing back.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing, we…we can still hold on, it's nothing more than one more Chaos Pill."

"Indeed, indeed, my brother is right, just one more…" Jin Ling was about to echo his brother's sentiments, but was interrupted.

"Enough, my two senior brothers!"

Xuanqing pressed down on the two who were attempting to get up forcefully, and then earnestly said, "If we continue like this, there will inevitably be damage to your foundations."

"How about this, you two senior brothers eat some ginseng fruits, recuperate for a period, and then help me with practice. It's not too late."

"Unfortunately, I have exhausted all my ginseng fruits, so I need you two to wait a while. I will go to Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple to get some!"

At this moment.

Hearing that they were getting ginseng fruits, the two child-like beings were thrilled, but their excitement soon turned into disappointment when they heard there were no more ginseng fruits left.

However, there was a twist; their junior brother casually mentioned going to Wuzhuang Temple to get some more. Was it really that easy?

Thinking of this.

Jin Ling couldn't help but ask, "The Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple, even when we meet with Sir, we have to show the courtesy of equals, and ginseng fruits are a rare delicacy. How can we have them whenever we want?"

"Good brother, you're silly. Last time, our junior brother Xuanqing brought out hundreds at once."

On the side.

Ying Ling covered his forehead and reminded her helplessly, "Even though you are the older brother, why am I, as the younger one, always the smarter one?"

On realizing this, Jin Ling immediately broke into a silly grin.

Thinking of the delicious ginseng fruit, he wiped the drool that almost escaped from his mouth, and quickly urged, "Good, good junior brother, go and get the ginseng fruit, and I'll aid you in your practice then!"

"Hmm!"

Xuanqing nodded with a smile, then bowed, "Please wait for me here, my two senior brothers. I'm on my way!"

Having said this.

He left the room and flew towards West Niu Hezhou on a lucky cloud.

His trip to Wuzhuang Temple was not only to speed up some ginseng fruit growth with ingots but also for a more important matter.

That is…. to upload the ginseng fruit tree to the store!!

Longevity Mountain.

Tall trees were lush and green, their leaves as vibrant as jade. Mist pervaded the air, condensing into droplets on the leaves, gleaming with a crystal-clear luster.

Not far away, a lucky cloud drifted slowly, stopping at the foot of Longevity Mountain. Standing atop the lucky cloud was a Taoist holding a feather duster.

The Taoist descended from the lucky cloud and looked around at the environment.

"Tsk tsk- The Ginseng Fruit Tree is truly worthy of being one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, the spiritual Qi of this place has become even richer."

Xuanqing couldn't help but think to himself.

His Black Wind Mountain, compared to this Longevity Mountain, was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, and there was no way to compare them.

If a tree was also planted on Black Wind Mountain, it would probably transform Black Wind Mountain into one of the top Immortal Blessed Lands in the Three Realms in just a short time.

Arriving outside Wuzhuang Temple.

"Junior Xuanqing pays a visit to Great Immortal Zhenyuan!"

Xuanqing held his hands together, making a seal, and raising it high above his head as he shouted loudly.

For a moment.

Creak-

The door opened slowly, and the two child-like beings, Qingfeng and Mingyue, appeared before Xuanqing's eyes.

"Greetings, Daoist Xuanqing. Sir has sent us to receive you!" Qingfeng bowed slightly and gave a greeting.

Compared to their first meeting, Qingfeng and Mingyue were now much more polite. After all, this Daoist Xuanqing was someone even their master called a young friend.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, two envoys."

Xuanqing also bowed in return, not showing off his relationship with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan or acting arrogant.

Seeing this.

Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two child-like beings, nodded secretly in their hearts, and their impression of Xuanqing improved even more.

In a pavilion.

Leisurely music from a zither echoed around.

Within the deep and mellow notes, there was a hint of gracefulness. The music carried traces of the Dao, making the lotus flowers in the pond sway to the rhythm.

When the two child-like beings led a young Taoist priest holding a feather duster into the pavilion,

The zither music stopped abruptly!

"Haha, young friend, what brings you to my Wuzhuang Temple?"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan stood up and looked up and down at Xuanqing, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.

He hadn't paid attention to this young friend for a while, and his cultivation was now just a step away from condensing the Essence Flower.

More importantly, his physical body had undergone a tremendous change… It even faintly exuded a sense of breaking through the void. It was truly strange!

"Junior has come here to ask for some more Ginseng Fruits!" Xuanqing bowed his hands and spoke truthfully.

Asking for some Ginseng Fruits?

Great Immortal Zhenyuan's expression was somewhat strange, and he asked curiously, "Young friend, did you already eat up all the hundreds of Ginseng Fruits from before?"

Xuanqing was slightly stunned and hastily waved his hands.

"This junior couldn't possibly eat all the hundreds of Ginseng Fruits. Mainly, upon obtaining such a good item, I thought of my Ancestor Master, so I went to Douluo Palace and gave them to him as a gift!"

Hearing this,

Zhen Yuanzi had a sudden realization.

No wonder that when he went to Douluo Palace to discuss some matters with Old Lord a few days ago, he was treated with wine brewed from Ginseng Fruits.

Knowing the inside story, his impression of Xuanqing became even better.

You should know that,

For them, Ginseng Fruits were nothing more than delicious food, but for someone with Xuanqing's cultivation level, they were top-grade treasures.

Despite this, Xuanqing had still thought of his Ancestor Master. This junior was indeed a kind-hearted person.

"Old Lord is indeed enviable to have such a disciple like you."

Zhen Yuanzi sighed in admiration, then with a slight movement of his duster, he said, "Let's go, we'll head to the Ginseng Fruit Garden now."

"Yes!

The closer they got to the Ginseng Fruit Garden, the richer the spiritual Qi in the air became.

Upon entering the garden, the concentration of the spiritual qi reached its limit, condensing into a mist. One could feel their pores open and a refreshing sensation just by breathing it in.

"Huh-"

Xuanqing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He looked at the Ginseng Fruit Tree as due to the heavy fog formed by the rich spiritual qi, coupled with it being taller than before, so he could only see the trunk clearly.

"I'm starting now!"

"Please!

Xuanqing walked to the Ginseng Fruit Tree and touched the trunk with both hands. He closed his eyes and silently said 'accelerate' in his heart.

[Ding! -90,000 Ingots]

At the moment 90,000 ingots were deducted, an incredibly profound power enveloped the Ginseng Fruit Tree out of thin air.

Off to the side,

Great Immortal Zhenyuan's eyes slightly narrowed.

Even though he had seen young friend Xuanqing display his divine power several times, he still couldn't see through it. It was indeed extremely mysterious.

After a while,

Thirty Ginseng Fruits condensed at the top of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved his duster and picked off the thirty Ginseng Fruits, sending them all to Xuanqing.

Seeing this,

Xuanqing hastily said, "That won't do. I've already taken advantage of you before. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't have the face to come again!"

This…

Great Immortal Zhenyuan hesitated slightly, but looking at Xuanqing's determined expression, if he didn't accept, the other party might really feel embarrassed to come again.

With this in mind,

"Fine, but these fruits are just a snack for me." Great Immortal Zhenyuan said indifferently:

"Don't mention the fifty percent from before again, otherwise you won't be giving me face!"

Upon hearing this,

"Yes, yes, as senior says!" Xuanqing let out a bitter smile and quickly agreed.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan nodded in satisfaction, then took away three of the Ginseng Fruits as his sleeve waved.

Out of the thirty Fruits, he only took three…Taking only this ten percent was just to put Xuanqing's mind at ease. It was enough to show the appreciation Great Immortal Zhenyuan had for Xuanqing in his heart.

Subsequently,

The process of using 'time acceleration' again and again began.

However,

Xuanqing deliberately slowed down the process. Each time he used time acceleration, it took longer than the last.

He did this to conceal the final 'uploading' of the Ginseng Fruits.

After all,

Based on his previous experience, the more valuable the item, the more time it took to upload it to the store.

On the tenth time he placed his hands on the Ginseng Fruit Tree,

Xuanqing didn't use 'time acceleration' like before but muttered in his heart…

Upload!!!

[Product uploading… O.O1%….O.O2%….O.O3%…]

???

• •

Seeing the uploading speed in his mind that was a hundred times slower than a snail,

Xuanqing was speechless.

Although he knew that the more amazing an item, the longer it took, but after half a day had passed, the progress had only reached 0.03%.

If this went on, who knew when it would be completely uploaded. By then, Elder Zhenyuan beside him might mistakenly think he had ill intentions towards the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Just as he was considering whether to give up temporarily,

A notification in his mind turned the tide of events.

[Friendly reminder: The uploading time for this item is too long; players can spend Ingots to reduce the target to its infant form and reduce the upload time!]

"Hiss… Is this even a cultivation quantifier? It's clearly a gold-devouring quantifier!"

Xuanqing couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Seeing this,

The Great Immortal Zhenyuan beside him frowned slightly, comforting him, "There is plenty of time; my young friend, don't force yourself and hurt yourself!"

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing that,

Xuanqing opened his eyes and waved to Great Immortal Zhenyuan, indicating that he was fine.

With a thought,

[Ding- Do you want to spend 200,000 Ingots to reduce the target to the infant stage and upload it?]

It takes 200,000 ingots just to downgrade and collect it?

Although it feels a bit expensive, it's nothing compared to the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"Confirm upload!"

[-200,000 Ingots!]

Following the deduction of the ingots, the progress bar, which was originally at a snail's pace of a few percents, suddenly soared.

[Product uploading… 0.1%… 0.3%… 0.9%…]

Although the speed was still slow, the progress bar visibly increased.

Two days later,

A notification of a successful upload finally sounded in his mind.

[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful, Store increment: Ginseng Fruit Tree Sapling (100,000)]

"Hiss… It only takes 100,000 ingots to exchange?" Xuanqing gasped.

He originally thought that the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the ten great spiritual roots of Heaven and Earth, even in its infant state, would be unaffordable for him, but it turned out to be only 100,000 ingots, which was a bit too little, wasn't it?

He then muttered in his heart,

"Purchase Ginseng Fruit Tree seedling!"

[Ding- Not enough Heavenly Merit, purchase failed!]

Listening to the notification,

Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly, realizing that the 100,000 referred to 100,000 Heavenly Merits and not 100,000 ingots. It shouldn't have been so simple.

"Well, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is uploaded to the store eventually, and I'll be able to exchange it one day."

"Now, let's get the ginseng fruit first."

Xuanqing comforted himself in his mind, then, with a thought, accelerated time towards the Ginseng Fruit Tree again.

[Ding! -90,000 Ingots!]

As the ingots were deducted, the Ginseng Fruit Tree began to change, and the roots that pierced the void and went deep into the chaos began to wriggle frantically, absorbing the chaotic qi from the endless void.

Moments later,

As the thirty fruits on the Ginseng Fruit Tree ripened,

Xuanqing opened his eyes and removed his hands from the tree trunk.

"Young friend, it's just some ginseng fruits, there's no need for you to go all-out like this!" Seeing the task complete, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but advise.

He knew that the young friend in front of him wasn't just a disciple in Old Lord's heart.

"Hehc~"

Xuanqing gave an awkward laugh, not knowing how to explain himself.

Fortunately, the goal of this trip had been achieved, and although the Ginseng Fruit Tree sapling was a bit expensive, it was finally uploaded to the store.

"Thank you, senior, for your help. Now that everything is done, I won't bother you anymore!" Xuanqing clasped his hands in gratitude.

"Mm, alright, next time don't cause such a ruckus again. Remember to always act within your abilities!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan waved his hand.

"I understand."

"Good."

Moments later,

Seeing the young friend Xuanqing still standing in front of him, not moving, and showing no intention of leaving,

Zhenyuan was taken aback and then realized, couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You sly kid, are you trying to make me addicted to sending you off?"

"Alright, alright!"

As he spoke,

The duster in his hand waved, making ripples in the air, and directly tearing a hole in the space of the Primordial World.

Seeing this scene,

Xuanqing was overjoyed, quickly made a hand seal, raised it above his head, and shouted, "Thank you, senior, for sending me off, I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he turned into a stream of light and entered the torn hole.

Black Wind Mountain.

In the sky, waves of ripples spread, and then a dark hole was formed.

Seeing this scene.

The people of Black Wind Mountain, who had experienced this once before, understood that their Sir had returned, and they didn't crowd around him as enthusiastically as the first time.

Moments later.

Xuanqing leaked out from the dark entrance, steadied his body, and slowly landed on the ground.

"Tsk, tsk, it took half a month to get there, but only a moment to come back!"

Between the two.

It was like the difference between riding a small electric scooter and flying on a plane, which was why he shamelessly wanted to take advantage of the Great Immortal's convenience.

Afterwards.

His figure flashed and disappeared at the foot of the mountain, and by the time he reappeared, he had already arrived next to Child Jin Ling and Yin Ling Tongzi.

At this moment.

The two child-like beings leaned weakly against the bed, while two squirrels ate wild fruits they didn't know where they had picked from.

Seeing Xuanqing's figure, the two of them couldn't help but cheer up.

"Junior Xuanqing, have you gotten the Ginseng Fruit?" Child Jin Ling asked impatiently.

"Got it, got it!"

Xuanqing cupped his hand, then took out four Ginseng Fruits from his bosom and evenly distributed them to the two child-like beings.

Gulp-

The two child-like beings swallowed their saliva, exchanged glances, and then couldn't wait to start munching on the Ginseng Fruits.

"Mmm… Delicious."

"Refreshing!"

After they had eaten and drank their fill, it was time for them to work.

On the peak of Black Wind Mountain.

Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion.

With a thought in his heart.

He took out the last Chaos Pill from his backpack and swallowed it with a tilt of his head.

The moment the elixir fell to the bottom of his abdomen, the fierce and domineering Chaos energy exploded and rampaged throughout his body.

In fact.

With his already condensed Essence Flower body, even without the Pestle for Grinding Medicine, he could forcefully resist the power of the Chaos Pill, but it would be very troublesome, and there was no need to do so.

"Junior Brother, I'm here!"

Yin Ling Tongzi offered the Pestle for Grinding Medicine. Having eaten two Ginseng Fruits, it was as if he had taken a great tonic, his complexion was rosy, and his whole person's energy was uplifted.

Clang-

One strike followed another, and in no time at all, the raging Chaos energy in Xuanqing's body was suppressed.

Seeing this.

With practiced ease.

He followed the previous method, tearing off a small piece from the Chaos energy, and then controlled the Qi Flower and Essence Flower, using these two extreme powers to refine it.

Several hours later.

Accompanied by the last trace of Chaos energy being refined.

Humming-

There was a strange fluctuation coming from the back of his physical body, as if something was about to break out.

The next moment.

Crack… Crack…

The sound of breaking out of a shell came from his back, and numerous fine 'tentacle' roots grew out from inside.

"This is…?"

Xuanqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just when he thought there was a problem, information about these 'tentacles' appeared in his mind.

Chaos Body!

That's right.

These tentacles were the characteristics of the Chaos Body, and their purpose was to penetrate through the Primordial, link to the Endless Void, and continuously absorb Chaotic Qi from it to nourish the Physical Body.

It was like a blessing in disguise.

With a single thought from Xuanqing, the tentacles on his back wriggled, connecting to an empty space.

Then, like a straw stuck into a cup of water, an endless stream of Chaotic Qi was transmitted into his body through the tentacles as a medium.

At the same time.

A game prompt rang in his mind.

[Beep- Chaos Morality Holy Body metamorphosis in progress… 99.01%

99.02….]

Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Immortal Official Record Upgrade!

Translator: 549690339

Perhaps it's because the tentacles are still fragile.

During this process, one needs to concentrate. If there's even a slight relaxation, these tentacles will automatically retract back into the body, stopping the absorption of Chaotic Qi.

Xuanqing feels the transformation of his physical body and dares not relax at all.

Time passes by, minute by minute.

At one side.

Jin Ling Child and Yin Ling Child, seeing their Junior Brother refine the last Chaos Pill and then just staring blankly, could not help but feel curious in their hearts.

"Younger Brother, what do you think Junior Brother is doing?"

"I don't know, he should be digesting it, or it's a special kind of practice!"

"So what do we do now that we've finished our tasks?"

"Good brother, let's… play for a while first, just in case Junior Brother still needs help."

"Makes sense!"

As the two child-like beings move away, their voices gradually weaken.

Xuanqing is doing his best to control the tentacles behind him, wanting to fully transform his Body of Merits. This process cannot be broken.

He must reach a state where he can automatically absorb without the need for control to be considered fully transformed.

Like this.

On the top of Black Wind Mountain, he was left alone, practicing and transforming here.

Let's not mention Xuanqing in the Game World, who has once again entered closed-door cultivation.

Regarding the Real World.

Vice Presidents of Taoism from all over Yan Country, after leaving the Heavenly Master Mansion and returning to their own provinces, immediately convened local Taoist meetings.

The contents of the meeting mainly concerned the relocation and reform of Taoism, the replacement of the main god in worship, and most importantly, a substantial increase in benefits.

Most of the audience who came to participate in the meeting were overjoyed. They were pure and uninterested in fame and fortune, but they were not saints, so who would be at odds with money?

Liuyang Mountain.

This is a small hill located in a small town between Jiang City and Yang County, and there is also a Descendants' Temple on the hill.

"Outside the long pavilion… beside the ancient road-"

An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, carrying big and small bags, with a smile on his face, hummed an unknown little tune as he walked towards Liuyang View on the mountain.

The reason for his good mood was that he had just attended a meeting in the provincial city and learned that not only would the Taoist temple be moved to the city, but that there would also be twenty thousand yuan in expenses per month.

As an old priest who had renounced the world, he didn't care about these things at his age. Mainly, he wanted to make the two little cubs in the temple happy.

At the gate of the Taoist temple.

Faintly, he could hear the immature sounds of laughter and frolicking inside the temple.

A pampering smile appeared on his face.

Squeak- *

The main door of the Taoist temple was pushed open.

"Your master is back…" The old priest's pupils suddenly shrank, only to see a lump of mud coming towards him from the gate.

Plop-

Mud all over his face.

"Ahh- Junior Brother, you're done for, you smeared mud all over Master's face!"

"No…it wasn't on purpose, Master. It's just that Senior Sister was teasing me just now, so I was trying to get back at her…"

Two children, a big girl enjoying the disaster, a little boy frightened out of his wits.

Seeing this scene.

The old priest took a deep breath and silently recited a Serenity Spell in his heart. Coupled with his perfectly good mood, he didn't lose his temper.

"Hmph, you two mischievous little brats, come over and pick up the things. I've bought new clothes for you. Oh right, Jingwan, you mentioned before…."

Upon hearing this.

The two child-like beings looked into each other's eyes and saw disbelief in each other's expressions.

They had caused trouble, yet their master did not get angry. What was even more surprising was that the usually stingy master had bought so many things.

The three of them washed and tidied up.

They gathered in the back hall to eat dinner.

"Master, why did you buy so many things this time when you went down the mountain?"

"Yeah, Master, you seemed so happy when you came back. Did you encounter any good fortune?"

The old Taoist rolled his eyes and said displeasedly, "Jingming, if you hadn't made a mess on your master's face, your master would have been even happier."

"The reason why I bought so many things is that, when attending the meeting at the Provincial City Dao Association, I learned…"

He explained the upcoming relocation of the Taoist temple, the re-worshipping of the main god's tablet, and the increase in monthly expenses.

"Wow, does that mean we can have meat whenever we want from now on?"

"Wow- Sister is right." The two child-like beings paused in their meal, their eyes shining with joy.

The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, a hint of indulgence flashing in his eyes. Over the years, these two children had suffered along with him.

Although he felt guilty, he did not show it. Instead, he scolded them, "After dinner, both of you go to the main hall and prepare the god tablet that your master brought."

"After it is properly set up, respectfully kowtow and offer incense. This god is our source of food and clothing, understand?"

O~"

The two Taoist boys nodded, their understanding a bit unclear.

Similar situations to the one the old Taoist priest was facing were not uncommon. Among the 423 Taoist temples registered in Yan Country, the vast majority were like this.

Even Jiang City and Changling City, which were known as sacred lands of Taoism, only received slightly better conditions, with monthly fees being a few hundred yuan higher.

So.

When they returned to the Taoist temple, they dutifully placed Xuanqing's god tablet under the most prominent position of the Three Pure Ancestors Statue.

They also set up a sign at the entrance of the temple, stating the main god that the temple was worshipping and the need to offer incense to the main god first.

This was what was discussed at the beginning – before relocating the Taoist temple, regardless of how remote the original one was, they needed to worship the main god there.

And so.

In the entire Yan Country, all Taoist temples had an additional main god tablet.

A construction feast for the building industry began, and the rebuilding of more than four hundred Taoist temples was no small project, with profits similar to developing a new real estate project in a city.

The scale of operations going on in the world of Taoism would not escapes unnoticed by Buddhism, God Church, Bing Dong, Yi Si, etc.

The top leaders of the Asian branches of these sects were using their connections to inquire about the inside story.

Slightly more than a month had quietly passed in the real world amidst the turmoil.

On the game world side.

Xuanqing's expression seemed a little bitter.

It had been over a year since the beginning of the physical body's metamorphosis.

Although he felt from the start that the complete transformation of the physical body would take some time after swallowing the last Chaos Pill, he never expected it to take so long.

[Chaos Morality Holy Body Transformation… 99.8%….. 99.81…]

"Sigh, it has been so long, I wonder how much incense was wasted in the real world!"

While thinking so,

Xuanqing didn't dare to relax at all, working hard to maintain the connection between the tendrils on his back and the Endless Void.

Over more than a year of transformation, the tendrils on his back had undergone a great change, becoming finer and more transparent.

However, the change in the tendrils did not reduce the intake of Chaotic Qi. Instead, it became even more substantial and intense.

At this moment,

A thunderous voice rang out from all directions.

The Immortal Official Record…. leveled up!

Translator: 549690339

[Original Taiji Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official, Daoist Xuanqing who was in the Thunderbolt Department, accept the decree!]

[Because he has blessed the people and accumulated 5 million incense offerings, he is promoted to: Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector in charge of Thunder Department Mansion Affairs. His level is raised to the Fifth Rank.]

Dark clouds gathered in the sky.

The booming voice seemed to fall from the nine heavens, resonating in all directions and lingering for a long time.

Seeing this scene.

"I don't know how much incense was wasted!" Xuanqing sighed quietly.

He did not expect that in the real world, a total of five million incense offerings had already been accumulated. It would have been impossible to achieve this with just the 81 Taoist temples in Changling City alone.

It goes without saying that in the real world, Elder Jingde had likely installed his god tablet in all the Taoist temples of the Daoist sect.

However.

Compared to the wasted incense, there was a more pressing issue that he had to deal with at the moment.

When the Immortal Official Record is promoted, he must step forward to receive the decree.

But with his current state where even moving a little bit was a luxury, how could he fly into the sky to receive the decree?

"No matter, I'm only a bit away from completing the transformation process. I'll receive the decree after I'm done."

Xuanqing spared a glance for the brewing dark clouds in the sky.

Heavenly Court.

Heavenly music echoed, surrounded by a mist of qi.

The Palace of Fate in the Ministry of Civil Service.

An Immortal official with a black gauze cap bowed his head at his desk, dealing with today's affairs of citizenship.

"In West Niu Hezhou, 900 Li south of Biqu Country, one Netherworld City God has dissipated!" murmured the Immortal Official softly.

"This West Niu Hezhou is getting more and more chaotic!"

The Immortal Official rubbed his temple. This was already the ninth document about the disappearance of a City God that he had to process.

The reasons were pretty much the same; they all lacked incense, coupled with no one to guide the reincarnation, their wages… welfare… have all been dismissed, naturally they had no way out.

However.

After all, it was considered a 'natural disappearance', not a homicide, and with no one supervising, naturally no one wanted to probe deeper.

Just as the Immortal Official was dealing with his affairs, a document suddenly caught his eye.

"Huh, an Immortal Official promotion? A Standard Sixth Rank Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official, promoted to Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief inspector in charge of the Thunder Department Mansion Affairs?"

Ever since he took office as the Registration Immortal Official of the Palace of Fate, the majority of cases he processed were promotions from Standard Ninth Rank to Standard Ninth Rank, the highest being Earth God promoting to City God.

This was the first time he saw such a 'big event' as a promotion from Standard Sixth Rank to Fifth Rank!

"Daoist Xuanqing… Isn't this the Daoist who was bestowed with 800 Earth Gods last time?" When he clearly saw the information on the document, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He remembered the last time the boss gave a lecture.

Without any hesitation.

This Immortal Official used his own stamp, stamped it on the document, and passed it. Now he just had to wait for the recipient to accept the decree.

A moment later.

The document was still hovering above the desk.

The Immortal Official was taken aback again.

One day in heaven, one year on earth; some time had passed, yet this Daoist Xuanqing had not accepted the decree – what was he up to?

"This Daoist Xuanqing, relying on his deep background, does not step forward to accept the decree, does he expect this official to go to the lower realm personally to confer it?"

The Immortal Official frowned slightly, unable to resist murmuring a complaint.

At that moment.

An unexpected event occurred.

He saw the document suddenly emit a great light, and an immense authority emanated from it, making people unable to resist the urge to kneel down.

"It's a special pardon from the Jade Emperor, is it…"

The Immortal Official widened his eyes, reading incredulously, "Is this asking me, this official, to go to the lower realm and confer the decree on that Daoist?"

Very well-

The slap in the face had come so quickly.

Just a second ago, he was complaining about someone being privileged and then the next second, this happened. The fact proved that having a background truly is incredible.

Aside from the shock, the immortal official couldn't help but feel a bit sour inside.

"Ah- On an errand to officiate the ascension of that Taoist!

"Wait a moment… It's a bit too simple to just go like this, not quite appropriate. I should bring a congratulatory gift."

Despite the sour feeling in his heart.

But facing this Taoist, who is covered by his superiors and the highest boss, he of course would choose to respectfully provide his services- and… he even has to bring gifts on house calls.

At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, several Earth Gods, and Zhu Gangling, as well as the Netherworld City God, and others… all gathered together.

The strange phenomena in the sky had been ongoing for over half a month.

"Our master, the immortal official, has been promoted again, but has not come out for a long time to receive the recognition."

"Others are all rushing to accept recognition, but our master is…."

"King Gangling, do you think the Heavenly Court will blame our master?"

Hearing the worried words from the subordinates.

Zhu Gangling flashes a grin.

A joke.

It was just a simple promotion from a subordinate fifth-rank immortal official. Who dares to blame their lineage?

When he was Marshal Tianpeng, there were numerous late arrivals, early departures, disobeying orders, and flirting… umm… that doesn't count.

"All of you don't worry, even if we wait for half a year, your master will be fine!"

Zhu Gangling carelessly waved his hand.

On hearing this.

Everyone felt a bit relieved. They all knew that their master has an unfathomable background. This master's senior brother also possesses vast divine powers. Swinging his rake, he created a blessed land, presumably seeing things more clearly than they did.

At this very moment.

There was a sudden change.

They saw a mass of auspicious clouds appearing in the sky.

Following that.

A golden scroll appeared on the horizon, growing larger and larger, eventually hanging in the high sky above Black Wind Mountain, emanating tremendous divine power.

More importantly.

A mortal official, wearing a black gauze cap and exuding an aura of immortal spirit Qi, stood atop the auspicious clouds next to the scroll.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone was shocked, even Zhu Gangling on the side's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"It's over. The Heavenly Court has sent someone. They're definitely going to punish our master!"

"What should we do, what should we do? If that immortal official takes action against our master, then what could we do?"

"Ah- Whoever wants to harm the master, I'll fight with them, even if it leads to death!"

"What's going on…Could it be?"

Zhu Gangling's pupils shrank suddenly.

He thought of something unthinkable in his head. It was the calamity aura that entered Daoist Xuanqing's body when they killed the Yellow Wind Monster.

Connecting that to his experience, it was because this calamity aura entered his body that he unwittingly flirted with Chang'e.

Could it be… this is the disaster of his junior brother?

Just as everyone was anxious, like ants on a hot pot.

The immortal official in the sky began to speak.

[Original Taiji Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official Controller Thunder Order

Matter, Daoist Record, Secondary Sixth Rank Immortal Official, Daoist Xuanqing, listen to the decree!]

[Because of his blessings to the people, reaching the 5 million count of burning incense, the Jade Emperor decrees: Promote to Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunderbolt Department, rank from the fifth.]

As the words fell.

The immortal official, holding the scroll, voluntarily descended from the sky, landing next to Xuanqing who hadn't moved all this while.

"So Daoist Xuanqing was cultivating in seclusion, in that case, I will wait here for Daoist to come out, and then confer the title, to avoid interrupting your cultivation!"

The immortal official, with a smile on his face, adjusted the black gauze cap on his head and sat down cheerfully on the side..

Chapter 177: Chapter 176: Xuanqing's Ginseng Fruit Diplomacy!

Translator: 549690339

"It turns out that Sir Xuanqing is cultivating his divine powers behind closed doors. In that case, I shall wait here for Sir to come out, and then confer the appointment, so as not to delay your cultivation!"

???

Upon hearing these words, every one of the followers, including Zhu Ganglie, was dumbfounded.

The anticipated punishment from the Heavenly Court didn't exist, nor did the so-called transgression of heavenly rules. Instead, the heavenly immortals came down from the heavens to confer Sir with the decree.

The words that seemed to say "Sir, you go on with your work, and I'll wait here" were simply unbelievable.

Just as people were bewildered.

The immortal official took a step towards the crowd of followers.

"Are you all Sir Xuanqing's followers?" The immortal official stood with his hands behind his back, looking cold and indifferent as he asked the group.

Upon hearing this.

The followers came to their senses, and the most clever of them, Gentleman Bai She, quickly stepped forward, respectfully saluting the immortal official.

"Yes!

The immortal official nodded and then took out a purple-red crystal from his bosom, saying in a deep voice:

"Sir Xuanqing's promotion to a Fifth-Rank Daoist Immortal Official is both joyous and congratulatory, and I offer a Fairy Crystal as a congratulatory gift!"

"Thankyou, superior immortal!"

Gentleman Bai She bowed slightly and reached out with both hands to accept the Fairy Crystal.

The Fairy Crystal was cold to the touch, containing the rich Immortal Spirit Qi, which was a special product of the Heavenly Realm. It wasn't a rare treasure, but it wasn't cheap either, belonging to the category of regular natural treasures.

And so.

At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

In addition to Xuanqing's followers and Zhu Ganglie, there was now an immortal official dressed in an immortal robe and wearing a black gauze cap from the Household Registrar of the Fate Palace.

There are no years in cultivation, just a fleeting moment.

Everything that happened on the mountain naturally fell into Xuanqing's eyes, but his body's transformation had reached a critical stage, so even when the immortal official came to his side, he couldn't pay attention.

"Almost there!

Feeling the changes in his physical body, a gleam flashed in Xuanqing's eyes.

At this moment.

The tentacles on his spine had almost become so small they were invisible, but the connection between his flesh and the endless void became more stable.

He had a feeling that when the tentacles on his back were completely gone, his physical body would be transformed!

In an instant.

Another month passed.

Finally.

Whoosh-

The last bits of tentacles disappeared, and a unique Daoist rhyme emanated from Xuanqing's physical body, spreading out in all directions.

II

Huh?"

"Sir's showing changes."

"Hiss… The space around Sir is twisting."

At the moment when changes appeared on Xuanqing's body, the followers waiting at the foot of the mountain naturally noticed right away.

The immortal official also looked astonished.

With his insight, he couldn't see what kind of divine powers Daoist Xuanqing was cultivating. Instead, he only felt a sense of palpitation.

No wonder he has such a deep background; he must be the reincarnation of some great power!!

The immortal official secretly praised in his heart and immediately felt that his journey down to the mortal realm to confer the decree was not a disgrace after all because his opponent might be the reincarnation of a great power.

"It's time for Sir Xuanqing to finish his cultivation and be promoted to a Fifth-Rank Daoist Immortal Official!"

Having said that.

He flew towards the top of the mountain.

Black Bear Essence, Gentleman Bai She… and other followers, including Zhu Ganglie, all hurried up the mountain as well.

At this moment.

At the peak of Black Wind Mountain.

"Huff-"

Xuanqing opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of Chaos Energy that transformed into a sharp sword, flying into the distance and lingering for a long time.

The tentacles on his back had completely disappeared, or it could be said that they had merged into his physical body, forming a rainbow bridge between his body and the endless void.

Under such circumstances, without him actively controlling it, his body would passively absorb the chaotic energy of the endless void, continuously nourishing his physical body.

"This Chaos Morality Holy Body is truly amazingly mysterious, and it faintly has a similar feeling to the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Xuanqing thought to himself.

As one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, the Ginseng Fruit Tree can condense ginseng fruit.

The main reason for this is that its roots penetrate the primordial chaos and directly reach the Endless Void, absorbing the incomparably profound Chaotic Qi, and thus condensing the Ginseng Fruit.

Just as he was lost in thought,

He saw an Immortal Official wearing a black gauze cap and a fairy robe, holding a scroll emitting divine power in his hand, walking towards himself.

Behind this Immortal Official, followed the subordinate gods of Black Wind Mountain.

"By the order of the Jade Emperor, Daoist Xuanqing is requested to step forward and listen to the decree!" The Immortal Official said with a smile, cupping his hands and shouting loudly.

As soon as his voice fell,

The Immortal Official waved his right hand, throwing the scroll with divine power and the Jade Emperor's personal order into the air.

Hum hum

in an instant,

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, once again conjuring the heavenly phenomenon of immortal official promotion.

Meantrlhile,

[Original Taiji Left Palace Supervisor of the Immortal Officials, Daoist Xuanqing of the Sixth Rank, step forward and listen to the edict!]

[Because of his blessings to the people and the prosperity of incense reaching 5 million, he is promoted to: Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunder Department Affairs, Fifth Rank.]

For the third time,

such a magnificent voice echoed over Black Wind Mountain the third time.

Such an occurrence, since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, was unprecedented in the entire Three Realms.

Seeing this,

Xuanqing first greeted the Immortal Official by cupping his hands, then stepped forward, flying beneath the heavenly phenomenon.

"I, Xuanqing… come to accept the decree!"

Whoosh-

Divine power surged in the heavens and the earth, manifesting a golden light that enveloped Xuanqing completely.

Luck and divine power… such indescribable mystery, yet visibly and rapidly increasing.

Immortal official promotion represents the improvement of one's destiny, and the increase of one's authority in this world.

Moments later,

The heavenly phenomenon ended.

"Haha, congratulations to Lord Xuanqing on his promotion to the Fifth Rank Daoist Immortal Official. Achieving a Dao Court within days is just around the corner. Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to Immortal Official. Achieving a Dao Court is just around the corner!"

"Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to Immortal Official. Achieving a Dao Court is just around the corner!"

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on your promotion to Immortal Official. Achieving a Dao Court is just around the corner!"

Seeing the gathered officials,

Xuanqing smiled, first slightly bending his body to the Immortal Official, and then gratefully said, "The great sir who personally descended to the Lower Realm to confer the Immortal Official title upon me, it is truly my honor!"

"I have nothing much to offer, only this humble Ginseng Fruit, I hope the great sir would taste it and not disdain it!"

As the saying goes, using Ginseng Fruit for diplomacy was Xuanqing Daoist's unique way of navigating the Three Realms.

Having said that,

With a thought, he took a Ginseng fruit from his Game Backpack and handed it over.

"Sss…Ginseng Fruit?"

The Immortal Official was taken aback, shocked in his heart.

The background of the Daoist Xuanqing in front of him was truly too deep. First, it was the unconditional protection of his master, followed by the Jade Emperor's attention to the promotion of Immortal Officials.

Now, he even took out the Great Immortal Zhenyuan's signature treasure, the Ginseng Fruit.

Were all the great powers of the Three Realms sheltering this Daoist Xuanqing?

Chapter 178: Chapter 177: Unlimited Enhancement of the Physical Body?

Translator: 549690339

"Thank you, Lord Xuanqing, this ginseng fruit is a famous treasure in the Three Realms, and I have been unable to obtain it, so how could I despise it!"

The immortal official took the ginseng fruit, carefully placing it in his Sumi belt for safekeeping.

Such a treasure, he absolutely could not bear to eat it himself. Who knew when in the future, as a gift, it might play a huge role.

"My mission is completed, and it would be impolite to stay too long in the lower realm, so I shall take my leave first!"

"Haha, then I won't detain you, go slowly… take your time-"

Xuanqing laughed and gave a salute, watching the other leave.

Afterward.

He looked at the subordinates under Black Wind Mountain, "Follow me to the Divine Realm."

Finished saying that.

He courteously said to Zhu Gangling, who was nearby, "Brother Gangling, would you like to go to the Divine Realm or have some fun, I just finished closed-door cultivation and need to take care of business."

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Xuanqing, just go attend to your business." Zhu Ganglie nodded with understanding, holding his spiked rake, and disappeared underground, heading to the Netherworld.

Entering the Divine Realm.

"Tell me, how is the development of Black Wind Town now?"

When faced with the Old Master's inquiry.

As the leader of Black Wind Town's Government Office, Gentleman Bai She immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Reporting to Master, the development of Black Wind Town is currently going well, the people are farming orderly, marriages and births are happening rapidly, and the population growth is several times more than at the beginning!"

"However…" Gentleman Bai She hesitated:

"The last time you bestowed us with hybrid seeds, as time passed, even with the Earth God managing the qi of the leylines, the harvest has gradually decreased. Now it has returned to the level of only a few hundred kilograms per mu!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing slightly nodded his head, feeling unphased.

After all, these hybrid seeds usually grow for two or three seasons, and because there is no human interference in cross-pollination, they naturally revert to their original level.

This is also the reason why Xuanqing acquired an agricultural company with research capabilities in the real world, so he could produce hybrid seeds continuously.

"To prevent the spread of the seeds, I placed restrictions on them, and they will become ordinary seeds after two or three generations."

"You don't have to worry about it, after a while, I'll make more seeds!" Xuanqing waved his hand.

Gentleman Bai She suddenly realized, bowed slightly, and retreated.

Afterward.

The Earth God of Black Wind Town stepped forward, adopted the same ritualistic manner as Gentleman Bai She, then began speaking:

"Reporting to Master, the current scope of the Earth God domain in Black Wind Town… The total amount of divine power consumed in managing the earth… This is the remaining incense."

With that, the Earth God of Black Wind Town pulled out a small bag filled with gathering qi beads, brimming with qi energy.

This incense was produced when the people of Black Wind Town burned incense in the temple and Taoist temple, after deducting a portion for the consumption of the Eight Hundred Earth Gods, there was still some left.

However.

Xuanqing nonchalantly nodded his head.

He did not pay much attention to the incense of the Game World.

Firstly, because it couldn't be used as a means for the Immortal Officers to be promoted, and secondly, the quantity was too small. Even with the advantage of the time ratio, it still could not be compared to the real world.

Nevertheless, even the smallest mosquito leg was still meat, so Xuanqing accepted the gathering qi beads, enveloped them with divine thoughts, and silently recharged.

[Ding! 70058 Ingots, your remaining balance: 38W…]

Seventy thousand… not bad at all.

"Don't be stingy with the incense of the Eight Hundred Earth Gods, although the population of Black Wind Town is not enough yet, it will develop sooner or later."

Xuanqing looked at the Earth God of Black Wind Town and instructed.

"I will obey the Master's command!"

The Earth God of Black Wind Town bowed deeply, and could not help feeling happy for the Eight Hundred Earth Gods who had met such a generous and wise master, making their days much more comfortable.

Once the human race and deity issues were resolved.

Black Bear Essence stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sir, I have something to report."

"Speak!"

"After my cultivation practice, I happened to attend the Loose Cultivators Conference again. Many of them expressed that they wanted to join our Black Wind Mountain."

"They said that as long as they could join Black Wind Mountain, they would even be willing to become mountain gods or earth gods."

Hearing this,

Xuanqing understood in his heart.

It seemed that after seeing him confer the positions of 800 land gods last time, these loose cultivators had such a thought.

After pondering for a moment,

Xuanqing spoke, "Wanting to be a mountain god or earth god on Black Wind Mountain is not a problem. However, they must be of pure and good character, without any evil karma on them!"

Although he did not consider himself one of those 'righteous people' in the East Sheng Divine Continent, he would not tolerate those with heavy karma and bloodthirsty ferocity joining.

After all, these evil beings might cause trouble at any time, and then he would be innocently implicated.

"Your command will be followed!"

Black Bear Essence nodded, understanding the meaning of his master.

• •

After dealing with these mundane affairs,

Xuanqing was alone in the Divine Realm, pondering his follow-up cultivation.

"Now that the Flowers of Qi and Essence have formed, the next step is to cultivate the Divine Flower."

With a thought,

"Open Character Panel!"

[Name:Xuanqing

f Physique:Chaos Morality Holy Body.

[Grade:Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunder Department Mansion Affairs (Fifth Rank)

[Cultivation Method: Food-Qi Decree

[Ingot:380550

In the character panel, there were 380,000 ingots, and the rank column had become a Fifth-Rank Daoist Immortal Official.

What's more important was that in the physique column, the character had completely transformed into Chaos Morality Holy Body.

He is now very curious about what extraordinary abilities this Chaos Morality Holy Body possesses after achieving it.

A total of eighty-one Chaos Pills, as well as the assistance of Jin Ling and Yin Ling, followed by incubating for such a long period.

"Check physique!"

[Chaos Morality Holy Body: Rumored to be the physique of 3,000 gods and demons, the physical body is connected to the Endless Void, and with the passage of time can continuously improve the strength of the physical body without limit!

???

• •

Three question marks appeared above his head.

Nonstop improvement of the physical body?

A flash of astonishment crossed Xuanqing's eyes, and as time flowed, his physical body could be continuously improved without limit.

"So, the tentacles that appeared before were the connection between the Primordial Universe and the Endless Void, and as long as time passed, they could absorb the energy of the Endless Void and continuously improve the strength of the physical body."

"Is this…a nonstop improvement of the physical body?"

Suddenly,

Xuanqing had a flash of insight in his mind.

"No, the so-called unlimited improvement of the physical body requires one's own divine soul power to control."

"Just like the [Jue Sheng Qi Zhi, how effective it is depends on the strength of the body and the divine soul.."

As if unlocking the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.

How much understanding one could temporarily increase in that state depended on whether their physical body could handle it.

Just as a small horse couldn't pull a big carriage, forcing it to do so would only hurt both the horse and the person.

"Apart from the infinite enhancement, this Chaos Merit Holy Body can also elevate my physical body to its limit, which is quite terrifying."

A glimmer of brilliance flickered in Xuanqing's eyes.

When anything reaches its limit, it is a frightening thing. For reference, the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom enhances understanding to the limit that the physical body can withstand, allowing one to glimpse a little of it.

"However, the reason why the Chaos Merit Holy Body enhances the strength of the physical body is that it passively absorbs the energy of the Endless Void!"

"To elevate the physical body to the limit that the God Soul can withstand probably requires a long time."

"If I want to speed up the process, I can only use time acceleration," Xuanqing muttered softly.

[Time Acceleration (Integration of Void Stage): Unrestricted by species, it allows the target of Integration of Void Stage Realm and below to perform time acceleration.

He had relied on this function to refine the Chaos Pill, which originally took eighty-one years, in just a few years, ultimately achieving the Chaos Merit Holy Body.

After making the decision in his heart.

However, Xuanqing did not immediately use time acceleration, because the incense in the real world had accumulated for almost two months, and it was time to harvest it.

Moreover, the Gathering Qi Beads in the Taoist academies outside Changling City had not been replaced for a long time, and he could not afford to waste any more time.

"Exit the game!"

Real world.

Qingping Temple.

Almost two months had passed between the cultivation without the awareness of time and the blooming and falling of flowers.

Xuanqing opened his eyes, awakening from the game world.

"Huh-"

After returning to the real world, thanks to the time ratio relationship between the two worlds, he could clearly feel that his physical body was rapidly increasing in strength.

"I wonder if the Ginseng Fruit Tree can be transplanted into the real world," Xuanqing pondered in his heart.

However.

When he recalled that it required a hundred thousand Heavenly Merits to redeem the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he stopped thinking about it and instead used the Immortal Official Document hanging from his waist.

"Qingyun…come quickly!"

• •

Moments later.

The ground squirmed, and a little Taoist Boy crawled out.

"Sir, are we going to change the Gathering Qi Beads?" Huai Qingyun asked first, apparently knowing his mission well after so many trips.

Upon hearing this,

"No hurry to change the Gathering Qi Beads, I'll help you improve your cultivation first!"

Xuanqing shook his head and said indifferently.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife doesn't delay the work of chopping wood.

His god tablets were now spread across the entire Yan Country, and given Huai Qingyun's current realm, at most he could only move within the range of Changling City. This was already a bit out of sync with the pace.

Fortunately, he had 'Time Acceleration (Integration of Void Stage)' and some Ginseng Fruits, which could be used to forcefully enhance his cultivation. Raising his cultivation?

Huai Qingyun was slightly stunned, but then he realized that Sir was going to help him improve his cultivation. He was a mix of surprise and joy.

Thump-

"Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir-"

After bowing nine times in a row, he finally stood up, the excitement in his eyes not fading for a long time.

There was no Spiritual Qi in the real world. As an Earth Deity, he didn't have much incense, so there was no other way to improve his cultivation besides Sir's rewards.

"Alright, don't be like this among our people. Stand over here!"

"Yes!"

Huai Qingyun nodded vigorously and came to Sir's side.

Immediately after that.

Old Master stretched out a hand and placed it on his head, and then an indescribable fluctuation emerged.

Gurgle Gurgle-

The divine power within him trembled, instantly being absorbed by his flesh and god soul, leaving the inside feeling empty and weak.

"Don't be stunned. Quickly, eat this ginseng fruit!"

Huai Qingyun realized that there was a ginseng fruit floating in front of him and hurriedly swallowed it in one bite.

After the ginseng fruit entered his body, it turned into a boundless Chaotic Qi. Under the effect of time acceleration, it quickly nourished his flesh and increased his mana.

Moments later.

The time acceleration effect ended.

Upon calculating,

He had already consumed two ginseng fruits on Huai Qingyun's body. If those loose cultivators in the Game World found out about it, they would be envious to the point of tears.

"Do you think you can completely escape from your body's constraints now?" Xuanqing asked solemnly.

He had just spent a year… a year of using time acceleration, used it a total of ten times, and consumed a thousand Ingots just to let Huai Qingyun passively absorb the ginseng fruit.

"Sir, I feel great now, I can go wherever I want!"

Huai Qingyun's cheeks flushed with excitement.

Being able to get rid of the shackles of the body meant that he could serve Master better, and thus make him more fond of him. It would be easier to get rewards and enter a positive cycle.

"Good, excellent!"

Xuanqing said three times, praising Huai Qingyun with a pat on the shoulder.

With a thought,

A Sumeru bag appeared in his hand.

"Qingyun, since you have completely freed yourself from the shackles of your body, I will assign you an important task!"

"In this bag are the Small Five Elements Cycle Formation, Soul-calming Jade Talisman, Serenity Jade Talisman, and the indispensable Gathering Qi Bead!"

As he spoke,

Xuanqing took out a map, depicting the entire Yan Country's twenty-two provinces, including the location map of the 423 Taoist temples, including Changling City.

In addition to the eighty-one Taoist temples in Changling City, there were still three hundred and forty-two left that hadn't been equipped with Gathering Qi Beads.

"Sir, should I go and install the Gathering Qi Beads in the Taoist temples outside Changling City now?" asked Huai Qingyun.

Hearing this,

Xuanqing waved his hand.

"Not yet. First, replace the Gathering Qi Beads in the eighty-one Taoist temples, then bring Elder Jingde to me. I will explain the follow-up matters." "Yes, sir!"

Huai Qingyun nodded his head.

Soon after,

His figure transformed into a stream of light, leaving Qingping Temple with a speed several times faster than before.

Looking at the direction in which his disciple left,

Xuanqing nodded his head in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. With this speed increase, the efficiency of work will naturally be even higher.

It's worth mentioning that,

He did not let Huai Qingyun install the Gathering Qi Beads in the remaining Taoist temples immediately because two months had passed since the Daoist Door Reform.

Under such circumstances, the construction of new Taoist temples in various places must have reached its final stage. Even if they were installed now, they'd probably have to be reinstalled in a few days. There was simply no need for it.

• •

Two days later.

Huai Qingyun walked into the room with the replaced Gathering Qi Beads, followed by Elder Jingde.

"Master!"

"Palace Lord!"

Chapter 180: Chapter 180:1, a humble Taoist, desire to establish a nation in Black Wind!

Translator: 549690339

This Taoist.

Is none other than Xuanqing, who is searching for thousand-year-old ancient trees that can be transformed in various places.

There is no spiritual qi in the real world, and with the industrial development in recent years, the environment has been greatly damaged. Under such circumstances, ancient trees that can grow for a thousand years are rare.

Xuanqing's gaze falls on the thousand-year-old ancient tree beneath him.

With a thought in his mind, he purchases a Gathering Qi Bead from the Game Mall.

To transform a living being, the Incense of Sentient Beings is most suitable.

Although relying solely on mana can also transform a living being, the gap between the shape and intelligence compared to the Incense of Sentient Beings is huge.

"Go!"

He swings the whisk in his hand, extracting a portion of the power of incense fire from the Gathering Qi Bead, and envelops the thousand-year-old ancient tree in it.

In an instant!

Hum-

The original twenty-meter-tall ancient tree, under the influence of a large amount of incense, directly leaps to grow over thirty meters high, its lush branches and stems resembling a dark cloud covering the entire sky.

What's more important is.

Under this towering ancient tree, there is now a five- or six-year-old child who is undressed.

From the surface, the child looks about six or seven years old, with a slightly thin figure, and a pair of unique, intelligent cross-eyes.

"Ba…ba…" The cross-eyed child starts learning to speak, and the wisdom in his eyes deepens.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing rubs his forehead slightly.

As expected.

These wild trees, although they have grown for a thousand years, their spirituality is not as good as that of Huai Qingyun, who has grown for only a few hundred years at Qingping Temple.

Even using the Incense of Sentient Beings to transform them, their intelligence is still quite touching.

"Enlighten!"

Xuanqing shouts softly, infusing information about daily life, as well as changing Gathering Qi Beads and not hurting humans, into the child's mind.

The art of transforming has two steps, which can be compared to a computer. The former uses incense to build the hardware, while the latter 'Enlightenment' installs the software, so that it can operate normally.

Moments later.

The child's face is red, kneeling on the ground, and kowtows nine times to Xuanqing, thanking him for the transformation grace.

"Child…child… greet…greet Sir-"

"Ah- Get up, from now on your name will be Huai Twenty-two!"

Xuanqing sighed and said faintly, he didn't expect this little thing to not only have cross-eyes but also a stammer.

It can only be said that there is no spiritual qi in the real world, and these trees in the primitive forest, even if they have grown for a thousand years, have little spirituality.

"Yes…I…I have a name now, Huai Two…Two…Twenty-two!" Huai Twenty-two is quite happy, grinning and shouting happily.

"Huai Twenty-two, come, put on this collar, you have a boss called Huai Qingyun, and from now on you need to listen to Huai Qingyun's words."

As he said that.

Xuanqing takes out a collar from his arms and throws it towards Huai Twenty-two.

"Oh-"

Huai Twenty-two quickly catches the collar and puts it around his neck.

Whoosh-

With a flash of light, the collar turns into runes, directly attaching to Huai Twenty-two's neck, eventually entering his body and disappearing.

"Well, don't move around for no reason, wait here for Huai Qingyun."

"Yes…respect…respecting the Great…Great Sir!

Returning to Qingping Mountain.

Xuanqing sits cross-legged.

Recalling his experience over the past week, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

It only took him one day to craft twenty-two beast-controlling collars and spend a full six days searching for thousand-year-old ancient trees in various provinces.

More importantly, most of the transformed tree demons are quite similar to Huai Twenty-two, with dull expressions, dull personality, and touching intelligence.

Fortunately.

He transformed these tree demons not for them to go to college, but just need them to know how to replace Gathering Qi Beads.

"The issues in the real world have been dealt with, just waiting for the follow-up harvest."

Xuanqing looks forward to how much incense he will receive every day once all the Taoist temples in the whole sect are relocated.

Of course.

Before entering the game.

He gave the token for controlling the beast-controlling circle to Huai Qingyun and went to the agricultural company to get dozens of tons of hybrid grain seeds.

"Enter the game!"

Black Wind Mountain!

One week has passed in reality, but more than two months have passed here.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

He took out the Immortal Official Document and dialed the string of Gentleman Bai She, waiting for the other party to arrive and then handed over the dozens of tons of hybrid grain seeds to him.

Then.

He was alone in the Taoist temple on Black Wind Mountain, thinking about his follow-up cultivation.

"The Qi Flower… is the ultimate cultivation of mana, the Essence Flower… is the ultimate cultivation of qi and blood."

"So, to cultivate the Divine's flower and then gather it at the top, one must cultivate the Power of the Soul."

Thinking about it.

Xuanqing's eyes flickered slightly.

His Qi Flower relied on Ginseng Fruit, his Essence Flower relied on Chaos Pill, and even transformed into the Chaos Morality Holy Body.

Among the three flowers, two are quite extraordinary.

Now he has to condense the last Divine's flower, which cannot be ordinary, otherwise, it may be a hindrance during the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"Although the self-created part of the Food-Qi Decree can condense the Divine's flower, it cannot be compared with the Qi Flower and Essence Flower."

"It seems that… if I want to condense a matching Divine's flower, I have to find another way!"

After much contemplation.

Finally.

Xuanqing thought of the best plan to condense the Divine's flower.

"The Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter has the method to increase the soul. With the human path destiny as the foundation, it turns into a strength that nourishes the soul."

"In this world, the human race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth. A soul nourished by human path destiny will surely be extraordinary and not inferior to the Qi Flower and Essence Flower!"

"If combined with time acceleration, it can quickly achieve the Divine's flower, and when the Three Flowers gather, it will be a Golden Immortal perfection, forming an impermeable body!"

After a bit of thought.

Xuanqing made up his mind.

The cultivation of the Divine's flower would be based on the Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter, using the human path destiny of Black Wind Town to achieve it.

However.

Although the people of Black Wind Town are thriving, it is still just a small town, and the human path destiny is not yet sufficient.

"Establish the nation!"

These two words came to Xuanqing's mind.

With the foundation of Black Wind Town, it would develop rapidly after establishing the nation, and finally, it would be extremely easy to condense the Divine's flower with the nation's destiny.

As he thought this.

"Huh-"

Xuanqing took a deep breath.

He took out the Immortal Official Record and dialed the strings of all the subordinate gods under his command.

"All subordinates, gather in the front yard of Black Wind Mountain!"

Moments later.

Black Bear Essence, Gentleman Bai She, Qingwan, the Four Great Earth Gods, and even the City God of the Land of Darkness have all arrived in the courtyard.

"We pay our respects to Sir!"

"We pay our respects to Sir!"

The crowd under its command bowed down and called in unison, and their voices were like a rainbow, showing a strong momentum.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

Looking at the crowd in the courtyard, he said solemnly, "I have summoned you to announce something!"

"I intend to establish a nation…. in Black Wind Town!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 181: Chapter 181:1 have a technique that can grant the Destiny Golden Dragon body.

Translator: 549690339

Establish a kingdom?

Everyone was taken aback at first, then they looked at each other with confusion.

"Sir, although our Black Wind Town has been developing well lately, there are only over a hundred thousand people, and the territory is only a hundred miles in size. To establish a kingdom…"

Gentleman Bai She stepped forward with a worried expression and said with a bow.

"I know what you are trying to say."

Xuanqing nodded.

Establishing a kingdom in this world is different from just raising a flag like in the real world. It requires the right timing, location, and people.

The so-called right timing means that the kingdom you establish needs to be recognized by the Heavenly Court, otherwise, your country would perish due to disasters like continuous droughts.

The importance of location… stems from national luck. If the territory of your country is too small, it cannot bear the national luck, and even Golden Immortals with Three Flowers Gathering at the Top could not withstand the backlash.

And finally… People!

Unlike the location, in addition to the number of people, the health and wealth of the people also contribute to different levels of Human Path Qi.

The formation of a Human Emperor depends on an abundant supply of Human Path Qi. It is even said that the strength of a Human Emperor is related to the amount of Human Path Qi in his subordinates.

In summary,

With Black Wind Town's current territory of one hundred square-miles and a population of over one hundred thousand, it's a bit of a stretch to establish a kingdom.

"Everyone!"

Xuanqing's eyes were filled with a sharp gleam as he looked at his followers.

"Black Wind is located on the border between two countries. The issues of land and population are easily solvable."

As the saying goes, if you store grain, I store weapons; if there are any needs, just go take them.

Xuanqing hadn't paid much attention to Black Wind before because it was not closely related to the Taoist path, but now, the possibility of forming the Divine's flower depends on it, so he would naturally take it more seriously.

"For the population, anyone willing to come to Black Wind will be rewarded with one acre of fertile land and exemption from agriculture tax."

"As for the land, the Yellow Wind Ridge to the west of Black Wind, which borders the Western Hami Country, was once occupied by the Yellow Wind Monster before this humble one slayed it. Therefore, the Yellow Wind Ridge should belong to me!"

Xuanqing sneered.

Upon hearing their master's analysis,

The eyes of all the subordinates became brighter and brighter. As long as the problems of population and territory are resolved, wouldn't it be easy for their master to establish a kingdom?

As for the recognition from the Heavenly Court, they did not see it as a challenge. With their master's profound background, establishing a kingdom would be a trivial matter!

"Alright, that settles the matter of establishing a kingdom. All of you, go prepare and disperse. Gentleman Bai She, stay behind!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes… Sir!"

After bowing, everyone slowly retreated, leaving only Gentleman Bai She still standing there.

At this moment,

Just as Gentleman Bai She was wondering why he had been asked to stay behind, he heard a shocking statement.

"Qingxu, do you want to become the Human Emperor?"

Human Emperor's seat?

Gentleman Bai She's body trembled, and after he realized what was said, he quickly knelt down and said in fear and trepidation:

"Reporting to Sir, this subordinate is a member of the Devil Race, how can I assume the esteemed position of Human Emperor? This subordinate… is terrified!"

Seeing this,

Xuanqing's expression was faint, "In this humble one's service, the only humans are Qingwan and Black Bear, who has a careless personality."

"Under these circumstances, if you don't become the Human Emperor… should I become the Human Emperor?"

Upon hearing this,

Gentleman Bai She looked up and cautiously said, "Or… Sir, you could just pick any random human?"

"Hehe~"

Xuanqing sneered and waved his hand dismissively.

The saying "it's easy to know people's faces, but not their hearts" is true. Even if you carefully choose a kind-hearted and capable human, who knows if they will change after becoming the Human Emperor?

Under such circumstances, it's better to revoke Gentleman Bai She's Immortal Official status and let him become the Human Emperor. At least he knows the limits and will not betray Xuanqing.

"Qingxu, your original form is an ordinary green snake, right?" Xuanqing asked in a condensed voice.

"Yes, Sir!"

Gentleman Bai She nodded, a trace of dimness flashed in his eyes.

His humble origin had always been a pain in his heart, with slow cultivation and low status.

Before he joined Sir's sect, if it hadn't been for big brother Black Bear's care, his life as a small green snake would not only have faced difficulties wearing a Taoist robe and learning alchemy, but also merely surviving.

Xuanqing nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:

"I have a technique that uses the Emperor's Qi to refine one's body, transforming it into a Luck Golden Dragon body. The divine bloodline… is even better than the Dragon Clan!"

Upon hearing this.

Achieve the Luck Golden Dragon body?

Gentleman Bai She breathed rapidly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment.

Seeing that his subordinate had been silent for a long time, Xuanqing asked again, "Qingxu, are you willing to take on the position of the Human Emperor?"

"I'm… willing!"

"I'm willing to be the Human Emperor!"

Gentleman Bai She hesitated no more, bowed down, his voice trembling with emotion.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing nodded his head and asked again, "To become the Human Emperor, you need to revoke your immortal status. Are you willing to do so?"

"Subordinate… is willing!"

Gentleman Bai She's eyes were determined, still showing no hesitation.

If he was asked about the importance of his immortal status before he joined Sir, even if he knew it could change his bloodline, he would still hesitate between the two.

But since following Sir, everything in his devil race perspective changed. The so-called immortal status wasn't even worth mentioning for Sir, and even the Heavenly Court's Immortal Officials had to descend to the mortal world to confer upon Sir.

"Good!

II

Xuanqing nodded with a smile.

And so.

The establishment of Black Wind Town was decided. They just needed to wait for the population to grow slightly before they could hold the worship of heaven ceremony.

Black Wind Town.

At the Cross Street Intersection.

There was a constant stream of people, bustling with excitement. Various mobile vendors and wandering commoners were coming and going endlessly.

Ever since they planted new food crops, the entire Black Wind Town became exceptionally prosperous. The people's households were full of surpluses; either they turned the grain into alcohol or made them into pastry snacks.

It could be said… any wealthy and prosperous area was built upon the foundation of a worry-free food supply. Otherwise, there would still be frozen bones on the roads behind the gates of luxury.

"Announcement!

II

Boom-

A gong sounded, echoing through the streets and alleys.

Two young men dressed in government clothing were seen, one holding a bronze gong in front, and the other holding a list behind.

"The Blue Sky Lord feels the suffering of the common people… and wants to establish Black Wind Town… into the Black Wind Country. Upon the establishment of the country, every citizen will be allocated a piece of good farmland, with no agriculture tax and half of the business tax!"

"The government office is also offering rewards. Whoever brings one hundred people from Wusi Tibetan Region or the Western Hami Country, will get one tael of silver; whoever brings ten hundred people, will get a piece of good farmland; whoever brings over a thousand people, will get one hundred taels of gold!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

"Hiss-"

The surrounding crowd of people gasped in shock.

"No agriculture tax, doesn't that mean we can keep everything we grow?"

"My goodness- giving one piece of good farmland to each citizen in our country, and even giving gold and silver for bringing foreigners."

"Hey, Old Seven Wu, I heard that your sister married someone from Wusi Tibetan Country… why don't we…."

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Luck Dragon Pearl Upgrades!

Translator: 549690339

The news of Black Wind Town about to become a nation spread throughout the entire town and nearby villages. Particularly, the benefits after becoming a nation drove the residents insane.

Even.

Many residents from the Western Hami Empire and the Wusi Tibetan Empire on either side of Black Wind Town also got wind of the news.

It's said that people regard food as their sky. Just come to Black Wind Town, and you would be given a mu of good farmland for free. The temptation is even stronger than you can imagine.

Moreover, farming is tax-free?

What does that mean?

For the people in this world, most of them farm for others as tenants. If they produce one hundred jin, they will have to give up eighty jin.

Even if they themselves own good farmland, they would be taxed over sixty percent by the government office. It was not until Gentleman Bai She established the New Yamen that the situation improved.

Now, their agriculture tax is waived, they could harvest as much as they plant, and all they harvested belonged to themselves. It's simply beyond their imagination.

Insane.

Completely insane!

The citizens of the Western Hami Empire and the Wusi Tibetan Empire.

Anyone who found out the news, they all brought their families, crossed the long border, and headed for Black Wind Town.

The locals of Black Wind Town also didn't just stand there. They organized groups and went to the border to welcome these foreigners.

You should know that anyone who brings in a foreigner could earn one or two silver. If the accumulated number is large, they would even be rewarded with gold.

Of course.

Facing such a huge benefit, some people did have their schemes and did some things out of the norm.

But Xuanqing promulgated this policy to develop Black Wind Town, not to satisfy the selfish desires of a few.

Under the gaze of a deity subordinate, if you contribute your own strength honestly, then you deserve to be rich.

But if you have thoughts you shouldn't have and do things you shouldn't do, you will be welcomed by the wrath of thunderbolt.

Yes…the real wrath of thunderbolt, like the thunder from heaven.

Just like that.

With the madness influx of people from the outside and the locals actively welcoming them, the population was growing at a visible speed.

In such a situation.

Time slowly passed.

One month later.

In the crossroad of Black Wind Town, the original low buildings were completely demolished, replaced by five three-story buildings and one six-story building.

The five high-rise buildings are used to set up the five bureaus of History, Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, and Civil Law after becoming a nation. Each office occupies one big building as an office space.

In addition, in the middle of the five buildings, a taller six-story building was constructed.

This building naturally is the 'royal palace', used for the daily accommodation of the emperor and for conducting court meetings among officials, etc.

In front of the royal palace.

On the vast square.

A nine-meter high altar has been set up. Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, and a crowd under its command had all stood on the altar.

Below the altar in all directions.

The crowd of common people surged. These people were representatives from various villages and major families.

They were about to witness the birth of the Black Wind Kingdom in front of this palace.

"Worship Heaven!

A tremendous sound, like a muffled thunder, resounded from the high altar. If you listened carefully, you would realize it's the roar of the Black Bear Essence.

Then.

Above the altar, smoke raised from the igniting stove.

This expressed the intention of human beings' respect for heaven being communicated to heaven above.

The emperor performs the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping in front of

Emperor Haotian, and then scenting incense in front of ancestor's seats…

Though Gentleman Bai She didn't have any ancestors, he had Daoist Xuanqing. Having him lower-ranked is no different from having an ancestor.

At the end of the ceremony.

Gentleman Bai She, wearing a five-clawed black dragon robe, wearing a golden silk crown, held a golden edict in his hand.

Decree!

The edict was thrown into the nine cauldrons used for the heaven worshiping ceremony.

Boom-

The flame instantly burned the minor edict document, transforming it into a wisp of blue smoke that slowly floated towards the sky.

At the same time.

In a room within the palace.

Xuanqing sat cross-legged, his gaze firmly fixed on the direction of the altar.

When he saw the Gentleman Bai She in the black robe throwing the edict document into the Nine Cauldrons.

Now is the time!

A glint flashed in Xuanqing's eyes as his palm flipped, revealing a document.

The contents of the document essentially stated that the Black Wind Town was his, Xuanqing's territory, and that the establishment of the country was also arranged by him, Xuanqing.

In the end, the document also mentioned that this matter related to Daoist Xuanqing's cultivation and he hoped that the Heavenly Court would not hinder this matter… and so on.

Boom-

The document of the country's establishment burned by Gentleman Bai She at the altar!

The 'advisory' document burned by Xuanqing in the room!

Both documents burned at the same time, transforming into blue smoke that floated towards the sky.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Outside the altar.

Heavenly music echoed in the sky, giving rise to a five-colored rainbow bridge. Vaguely, a golden beam of light could be seen descending from the sky.

Black Wind Country… has been established!"

Amid the cheers of countless commoners, Gentleman Bai She in his black robe leapt into the air.

In an instant.

A golden beam of light enveloped Gentleman Bai She, completely eradicating the demonic energy on him and instead giving birth to an imperceptible special energy, named Dragon… Energy!

We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!"

We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!

We salute the King of Black Wind Country, long live the king!

The people fell to their knees one after another, shouting in unison, celebrating the birth of their king.

They were sincerely congratulating the birth of their king.

To be honest.

No matter what kind of world, or what era it is, the common people at the bottom of society are extremely simple. They will support whoever is good to them.

Even the Tang Dynasty, which is a Celestial Dynasty, does not have a country like Black Wind that allocates land and exempts agricultural tax.

Under such circumstances, if they do not support Black Wind, who will?

Palace.

Inside the room.

Xuanqing was jolted awake.

He could sense an indescribable energy gathering in the sky above Black Wind

Town… no, it should be said, above Black Wind Country.

"This world… really is magical, it is much more prosperous than the real world, but there is not a trace of what you would call luck."

This is no longer just about the existence of spiritual energy.

Xuanqing felt that this probably involved rules, the difference in the operation of the rules of heaven and earth between the two worlds.

What's more.

Under this strange force of national luck.

Xuanqing felt that the 'Dragon Pearl' within his body had a faint reaction.

You should know.

This Dragon Pearl was originally condensed from the Human Path destiny of Black Wind Town.

Now that Black Wind Town has leaped to become Black Wind Country, naturally this Dragon Pearl also started to react.

With a thought!

A pearl emitting a golden glow floated in the air.

Xuanqing gently stroked the Dragon Pearl, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Luck Dragon Pearl, it's time for you to advance too!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Miserable Gentleman Bai She!

Translator: 549690339

"Go!"

Xuanqing threw the Dragon Pearl in his hand forward, turning into a streak of light and shooting into the high sky.

In an instant.

The national luck of the Black Wind Country began to stir crazily like a tornado, revolving around the Dragon Pearl.

As it raged around the Dragon Pearl, it eventually formed an invisible luck whirlpool.

Humming-

During this process, the Dragon Pearl's aura underwent some indefinable and indescribable changes, and its shape gradually transformed from a round bead to a square shape.

In the end, it formed a small square box with a sculpture of a nine-clawed golden dragon shining with sacred radiance on the top.

Jade seal!

This Luck Dragon Pearl unexpectedly transformed into the shape of a jade seal under the power of the country's fate.

Xuanqing's heart moved.

He waved his right hand, taking the hovering Luck Dragon Pearl, which had already transformed into the appearance of a jade seal, into his hand.

On the bottom of the jade seal, eight dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing characters were engraved… Divine Decree, Luck Golden Dragon.

"Divine Decree, Luck Golden Dragon!" Ahint of an inexplicable meaning shone in Xuanqing's eyes.

Long ago.

When he practiced the "Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter", he had already transformed the human-path luck of Black Wind Town into his own Destiny Luck Dragon Pearl.

It could be said that at that time, the human-path luck of Black Wind Town was already bound together with his Destiny Luck Dragon Pearl.

Now that Black Wind Town had become Black Wind Country, his Destiny Luck Dragon Pearl naturally upgraded to a Luck Jade Seal!

Moreover.

He could clearly feel that manipulating the national luck and human-path luck of Black Wind Country through this Luck Jade Seal was as easy as lifting a finger.

"Not bad!" Xuanqing's mouth curled up in a smile, as he nodded in satisfaction.

Under these circumstances, the 'work' was done by Gentleman Bai She, while Daoist Xuanqing only needed to 'enjoy' the final results.

On the surface, Gentleman Bai She was the Human Emperor of Black Wind Country, but in reality, Xuanqing still had the final say, and both human-path luck and national luck were under his control.

"The Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter describes that the Luck Jade Seal condensed from national luck has the ability to nourish the soul and enhance the soul!"

"Let's give it a try!"

Xuanqing murmured softly.

He held the Luck Jade Seal in his hand, then silently activated the "Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter". Finally, his soul passed through his body and attached itself to the Luck Jade Seal.

The moment they made contact.

A strange chilly sensation spread throughout his soul.

"Hmm~"

Xuanqing couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

No doubt.

The enhancement of the soul was always more soothing than that of the physical body. The so-called floating in immortality could not even describe a tenth of it.

He closed his eyes and felt his soul grow even purer under the nourishment of the Luck Jade Seal. Although the improvement was slow, it was very stable.

Under such circumstances, the Divine's flower condensed would definitely be much stronger than the normal one.

"Luck Jade Seal… Not only can it control luck to fight enemies, it can also nourish the soul. It truly is a treasure-"

Xuanqing's eyes opened, and he couldn't help but exclaim as he felt the improvement of his soul.

It had to be said.

The cultivation technique given to him by the Ancestor Master was simply too formidable. He even wondered if the Ancestor Master had foreseen this scene, which was why he gifted him the "Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter."

Speaking of which.

Except for the Qi Flower that he himself accomplished using Ginseng Fruit, the Essence Flower was arranged by the Ancestor Master with the Chaos Pill, and the final Divine's flower was condensed using the cultivation technique bestowed by the Ancestor Master.

This was more than just being fed by the heavens – it was like the heavens directly put the food in his mouth.

"My soul has improved just by attaching itself to the Luck Jade Seal for a while!"

"Now, let's try using time acceleration!" Xuanqing was quite expectant in his heart.

However.

He didn't dare to use too much, as tapping into time acceleration during this process required the consumption of external energy.

And the divine spirit attached to the Luck Jade Seal was consuming the national luck of Black Wind Country.

"A year?… No… half a year… Never mind, let's start with the smallest unit 'month' and give it a try!"

Xuanqing shook his head, murmuring in his heart.

Although the 'Luck Jade Seal' as the supreme treasure, has the ability to absorb a certain amount of national luck before harming the kingdom, it is similar to the function of 'automatic power cut'.

But being cautious is never wrong.

"Activate the time acceleration for one month… target myself!"

[ Beep! -9 ingots]

At the instant when the ingot was deducted, the time acceleration state was activated on his body, and the divine spirit attached to the Luck Jade Seal began to tremble constantly.

In an instant.

The national luck in the Luck Jade Seal was absorbed by the divine spirit, and then the new national destiny power was condensed from the human path destiny of the Black Wind Country.

"Ah~"

Xuanqing couldn't help closing his eyes, indulging in the pleasure of the divine spirit upgrade and unable to extricate himself!

The promotion of the divine spirit is more addictive than the promotion of the physical body, which transcends the essence of life.

Like this.

Repeatedly.

Just as the Luck Jade Seal had just condensed, under the effect of time acceleration, it was quickly absorbed by the attached divine spirit, and then continued to condense, and continued to be absorbed….

The flourishing national luck of Black Wind Country was being consumed at a visible speed.

Although national luck can recover over time as long as it is not permanently deprived.

However, if too much is consumed at once, the national luck cannot bear it, causing some bad things to happen in the kingdom.

This moment!

The Luck Jade Seal trembled slightly as if sensing that continuing to absorb it would harm Black Wind Country, and automatically stopped absorbing the national luck.

At this moment.

In the sky of Black Wind Country, the immense Human Path Destiny power, when the national luck was consumed to a certain extent, gave birth to a wisp of… Plague Qi!

Golden Luang Hall!

In the Imperial Study Room, the oil lamp flickered, casting a long shadow of a figure in a dragon robe.

Gentleman Bai She was holding a brush, constantly writing something.

Next to him, there were mountains of memorials and documents, all of which were the national strategies to be implemented after the founding of Black Wind Country.

His face was full of fatigue, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Phew- Finally finished reviewing all the memorials from the history department, so tired… But I can still hold on… Keep going!"

"I hope Sir condenses the Divine's flower sooner so that I can also borrow the national luck to achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body!"

Gentleman Bai She had a smile on his face.

He was now full of energy, and as long as he worked harder, Sir would be able to condense the Divine's Flower more quickly.

It is worth mentioning.

No matter whether Xuanqing wants to condense Divine's Flower, or Gentleman Bai She wants to achieve Destiny Golden Dragon, they both need the assistance of Black Wind Country's national luck.

In such a situation, Xuanqing, being the 'Sir', naturally must take priority, and only after Xuanqing condenses the Divine's Flower can Gentleman Bai She, the junior brother, have his turn.

Just as he was full of energy and preparing to review the memorials.

Suddenly.

Gentleman Bai She's face changed abruptly, feeling a suffocating sensation in his chest, and sweet blood surged from his internal organs.

"Pu~"

A mouthful of blood was spit out.

II

National Luck Backlash?"

"Sir… Sir… What… What did you do?"

Gentleman Bai She's eyes turned white, blood mixed with foam poured out of his mouth, and he fainted..

Translator: 549690339

Here.

Inside the room.

When the Luck Jade Seal could no longer draw upon the national luck, after a while, time acceleration finally stopped.

"Hu~"

"The Qi Luck Controlling Dragon Technique is really extraordinary. Just in such a short time, the power of my soul has grown a lot."

A glimmer of surprise flickered in Xuanqing's eyes.

Then,

He realized that something was wrong. He noticed that the Luck Jade Seal, floating in the air, had faded in color and its aura was not as thriving as it had been in the beginning.

"Huh… could it be…?"

Xuanqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a golden light, using the Earth Leaping Golden Light from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts, he instantly left the room.

He arrived above the Black Wind Kingdom.

A wisp of Plague Qi was lingering around him, emanating a chilling and uncomfortable aura.

In an instant.

A bitter smile surfaced on Xuanqing's face, and he already knew what was going on in his heart.

He hadn't expected the newly-established Black Wind Kingdom to be so weak that it had exhausted its national luck just by using the minimal time acceleration of one month.

Luckily, the Luck Jade Seal is a supreme treasure, and it automatically stopped when it sensed that continuing to draw upon the kingdom's luck would cause severe consequences.

"Sigh… poor King Qingxu."

Xuanqing let out a sigh.

Through the Luck Jade Seal, he had already sensed the condition of Gentleman Bai She, the king.

Although the Luck Jade Seal stopped at the end, leaving only an indistinguishable wisp of Plague Qi,

Gentleman Bai She, as the King of Black Wind Kingdom, was already extremely exhausted from the sacrificial ceremony, as well as from the overloading mental work required to review the memorial books.

This final, faint backlash of luck was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

In the entire Black Wind Kingdom, the commoners were not affected, nor were the officials. Only Gentleman Bai She, the king, had fainted from exhaustion.

Temporarily ignoring the faint Plague Qi in the air,

Whoosh!

Xuanqing disappeared from the sky.

When he appeared next,

He had already reached Gentleman Bai She's side.

Looking at the slumped Gentleman Bai She who had fainted on the table,

"Qingxu, oh Qingxu, why are you pushing yourself so hard?" Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly, unable to suppress his emotions and muttered.

With a thought,

A Ginseng Fruit appeared in his hand.

"Go!"

The Ginseng Fruit turned into a streak of light, shooting towards Gentleman Bai She's mouth. Just when it reached the mouth, it transformed into Chaotic Qi, healing Gentleman Bai She.

Moments later.

"Hmm…"

Gentleman Bai She slowly came to, and the scene before him gradually became clearer. The figure in a Taoist robe came into his view.

"Sir… subordinate… how did I fall asleep here?" Gentleman Bai She shook his head, still in a daze.

Seeing this,

Xuanqing sighed and shook his head, saying, "You have overworked yourself, plus I went overboard in drawing the kingdom's luck just now, causing you to fall into a coma."

"I fed you a Ginseng Fruit to wake you up. It was my carelessness that made you suffer. I hope you won't hold any grudges."

Upon hearing this,

Gentleman Bai She was shocked and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully. "No, no, it has nothing to do with you, Sir."

"Sir has given me such an opportunity, which is already a great fortune. How could I?"

"It's because I want to help Sir gather the Divine's flower as soon as possible to achieve my Destiny Golden Dragon body!"

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing smiled.

It has to be said that Gentleman Bai She is very good at dealing with people in various situations. For example, this time, even if his mistake caused the other party to be injured, the other party took the initiative to shoulder the blame.

"Alright, I understand your intentions. Keep up the good work, and I will not let you down!" Xuanqing waved his hand.

He took out another Ginseng Fruit and threw it to the other party.

"Ah…this~"

Gentleman Bai She unconsciously took the Ginseng Fruit. When he saw the fruit clearly in his hand, he seemed a little at a loss.

However,

He also knew his Sir's character: steadfast and decisive. He shouldn't take what wasn't given, but he couldn't refuse what was awarded either.

"Thank you, Sir!" Gentleman Bai She carefully put away the Ginseng Fruit and bowed deeply again.

"Mmm!" Xuanqing nodded slightly before casting Earth Leaping Golden Light and leaving the Imperial Study Room.

Gentleman Bai She remained in a bowing position, watching his Sir leave before slowly standing up.

After taking a Ginseng Fruit, his spirit had fully recovered. He didn't rest but continued to sit at his desk.

His heart was extremely eager to achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body, and with Sir's encouragement, he naturally needed to work even harder.

"Continue reviewing!" Gentleman Bai She took a deep breath and focused on reviewing the enormous pile of documents.

The next day.

Black Wind Mountain Peak.

Xuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the bustling Black Wind Kingdom below.

In the prosperous national destiny, a wisp of Plague Qi mixed in like a piece of rat feces in hot soup.

Although it couldn't cause any harm to this newly-built kingdom and would disappear over time, this process was very slow and could not continue to nourish the God Soul.

Therefore,

He planned to manually expel this wisp of Plague Qi, using a simple method: as a Daoist Immortal Officer, he would burn a letter to heaven and borrow the power from the Plague God Mansion.

With this thought,

Xuanqing took out a yellow talisman with a wave of his right hand.

Considering his current status, unless it was a major event like founding a kingdom or worshiping heaven, he didn't need to undergo complicated procedures. He just needed to burn a yellow talisman and send it to heaven.

"Duo Zha solemnly orders the Eastern Green Plague Ghost, Rotten Wood Spirit,

Southern Red Plague…"

With a chanting incantation, the yellow talisman burned without fire, turning into a wisp of blue smoke, floating straight up to heaven.

Moments later.

Xuanqing's brows furrowed.

Although the yellow talisman had been sent to the Heavenly Court's Five Plague Departments, not only was there no power of the Plague Gods, but there was not even a single message in return.

This was quite intriguing. Could it be that the Five Plague Gods… didn't respect Daoist Xuanqing?

As he was lost in his thoughts,

Suddenly,

In the distant sky, five dim lights appeared, accompanied by a sacred aura and a large cloud of auspiciousness, descended onto Black Wind Mountain.

"Hahaha- We, the Five Plague Gods, pay our respects to Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunder Department Affairs!"

Xuanqing looked over.

He saw five immortals dressed in green, red, orange, white, and black, with different appearances, walking towards him.

The Five Plague Gods descended in person?

"I just wanted to borrow the power of the Plague Gods, but it unexpectedly caused the Five Plague Gods to descend directly?"

Xuanqing felt his brain short-circuiting.

The previous promotion of the Daoist Immortal Officer could be attributed to the cultivation of the Chaos Morality Holy Body, which made it impossible for him to teleport, so he had to let the Heavenly Court Household Department Office's Immortal Officer descend.

But now he hadn't done anything, and he swore… he had just burned a yellow talisman..

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Five Plague Order!

Translator: 549690339

Lost in thought.

The five Epidemic Gods had already come to his side.

He threw away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and regardless of the other party's intentions, since they had personally descended, it was natural to greet them according to etiquette.

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, I have seen all the Epidemic Gods!" Xuanqing pinched the Yin-Yang Finger Gesture and slightly bowed in salutation.

The five Epidemic Gods were:

Spring Plague God Zhang Yuanbo in a green robe, Summer Plague God Liu Yuanda in a red robe.

Autumn Plague God Zhao Gongming in an orange robe, Winter Plague God Zhong Rengui in a white robe, and finally Central Plague God Shi Wenyi in black clothes.

At this moment.

The Central Plague God Shi Wenyi, dressed in black, stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed his hands andsaid:

"I have met Daoist friend Xuanqing. After receiving the Daoist friend's yellow talisman in our Plague Department, we learned that the Black Wind Country in the human world was created by you!"

"So… we came down to the lower realm, firstly to deal with the Plague Qi, and secondly to congratulate Daoist friend on the joy of founding the country!" Central Plague God Shi Wenyi stroked his beard and laughed.

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing suddenly realized, and then repeatedly bowed his hands, "Ah, it's really embarrassing and frightening that such a small matter has troubled all the adults to personally come down to the lower realm!"

"All the adults…please sit in the house!"

"Hahaha- Daoist friend, please!"

Upon entering the house.

After a round of greetings.

Xuanqing finally figured out why the five Epidemic Gods had personally descended.

In fact.

This matter was related to the promotion of the Immortal Official and the Immortal Official of the Household Registration and Destiny Bureau, who personally conferred the promotion on him a while ago.

After that Immortal Official returned to the Heavenly Court, he couldn't help but share the matter while playing chess and discussing the Dao with his friends.

After hearing about it, the immortals naturally felt amazed.

An edict from the Jade Emperor personally sent an immortal official to confer the promotion on the Daoist. Such a thing had never happened since the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court is not big, and the circles of the gods mostly overlap. Basically, any interesting news will spread quickly in all directions.

The five Epidemic Gods naturally also learned of this news, and upon further inquiry, they learned of Xuanqing Daoist's extraordinary background.

He is a good friend of Star Lord Taibai, a disciple of Douluo Palace, and a bosom friend of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhcnyuan Great Immortal. This background is truly profound and extensive.

Just then.

At this moment, a yellow talisman burned onto the Plague God Mansion, and the five Epidemic Gods discovered that it was actually sent by the rumored Xuanqing Daoist, who had also founded a country in the mortal world.

After much deliberation, and feeling bored in the Heavenly Court, the five Plague Gods decided to come down to the lower realm and make friends.

"I never expected that my humble name would actually be circulated in the Heavenly Court. Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable." Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.

"Haha, Daoist friend has an extraordinary foundation and deep blessings, truly enviable!" Autumn Plague God Zhao Gongming said.

It is worth mentioning that this Zhao Gongming is not the other Zhao Gongming, he is just one of the five plagues of the simple Plague Gods.

Central Plague God Shi Wenyi continued: "Your Black Wind Country is newly founded, but we have no divine objects to offer. We can only present you with a Five-Direction Plague Order, which can manipulate the rules of the heaven and earth plague qi."

"If you encounter the birth of plague qi in the future, having this order will be much more convenient!"

As he spoke.

He took out a token of green, red, orange, white, and black colors and handed it to the other party.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing did not hesitate to accept the token and thanked him with a bow, "With such a generous gift, I will humbly accept it!"

"I also have a gift in return for you all, I hope you won't be offended!"

As his words fell.

A refreshing fruity fragrance filled the entire room.

There were five silk handkerchiefs floating in the air, and each handkerchief had a Ginseng Fruit on it. The fruity scent emanated from them.

"Ginseng Fruit…?"

The five Plague Gods were moved.

They had already heard in the Heavenly Court that this Daoist Xuanqing, who is fond of giving Ginseng Fruits as gifts to friends, was indeed like the rumors.

"Hahaha, Daoist friend Xuanqing is really kind."

"Thank you, Daoist Friend. Speaking of which, we haven't tasted the Ginseng Fruit yet!"

"Indeed, thanks to Friend Xuanqing's blessing, today we can taste the Ginseng Fruit!"

Smiles on the faces of the Five Epidemic Gods, each of them taking one.

They couldn't help but think that coming to the mortal world was really worth it. Not only did they befriend Xuanqing, who had such a profound background, but they also got to eat the Ginseng Fruit, which could only be enjoyed by the great Daoist immortals.

After eating the Ginseng Fruit and chatting for a while, the Five Epidemic Gods took their leave to return to the Heavenly Court, inviting Xuanqing to visit the Plague God Mansion when he went to the Heavenly Court.

Watching the Five Plague Gods leave.

Xuanqing's eyes flashed with an unusual light.

Unconsciously,

he had built a reputation for having a 'profound background' in this world, and a mere yellow talisman could make an immortal controlling "authority" descend to the Mortal realm.

"The Five Plague Gods are quite interesting, especially that Zhao Gongming, who turned out to be just an ordinary Plague God, not the great Zhao Gongming who killed all directions in the Battle of Conferred Gods!"

Xuanqing shook his head.

He now understood that this Game World was far from a simple Journey to the West setting.

However,

No matter what background this world had, it wouldn't affect his practice and pursuit of the Great Dao!

"Let's try this Five-Direction Plague Order!"

Xuanqing's right hand turned and took out the token that the Five Epidemic Gods had given earlier.

Throwing the token into the air,

In an instant,

this token, shining with five colors, floated in the air, emitting five colors representing the powers of Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Central plagues.

Targeting the plague Qi in the sky above Black Wind Country,

"Confer!

H

The colorful light on the token condensed into a powerful sword that shot towards the Plague Qi.

Puff-

The Plague Qi was hit by the sword of light, just like a fragile bubble that bursts with one poke, and disappeared instantly.

"Not bad. With this order, dealing with plague Qi in the future will be much more convenient!" Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

A few Ginseng Fruits in exchange for such a treasure and solidifying a relationship with five powerful immortals seemed to be worth it.

Next,

it's time to continue practicing.

With a thought,

a Jade Seal with a strange energy was summoned. After a day of recovery and the removal of the Plague Qi, it had returned to its original appearance.

",

Cultivate!

It

Xuanqing sat cross-legged, his God Soul emerging from his body and attaching itself to the Luck Jade Seal.

This time, he did not use the 'Time Acceleration' function, as Black Wind Country was too weak to withstand even the minimum unit of one month's time acceleration.

While Xuanqing was immersed in closed-door cultivation,

Black Wind Country,

Inside the Golden Luang Hall,

Young Master White Snake sat high on the Dragon Throne, looking down at the officials in the main hall.

"Court Meeting!"

Accompanied by the high-pitched sing-song of the Ritual Officer, loyal officials bowed in salute, shouting in unison, "Your Majesty, may you live forever and ever!"

At this moment,

this newly established Black Wind Country had its first court meeting after its founding.

PS: Don't be too bothered by the term "Long Live" appearing in any dynasty.. This is a fiction Game World, which has some similarities with history, but is also different!

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Card Store Glitch, Ingot Exchange for Merits?

Translator: 549690339

"All dear ministers, please rise!"

"Thank you, the king!"

The ministers loudly responded with salutations.

Speaking of which.

These ministers in the court were originally the scholars, old gentlemen, merchants, etc., who were brought in by Gentleman Bai She and Black Bear Essence when the Black Wind Town Government was established.

Compared to other countries, the approach taken by Black Wind Country may seem a bit childish, but it was a necessary step, considering the country's humble origins as a small frontier town sandwiched between two nations.

"My dear ministers, our newly established Black Wind Country faces a bleak situation in terms of both population and economy."

Gentleman Bai She said solemnly.

Speaking of which.

He was not interested in worldly power, but if he wanted to achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body, he had to develop Black Wind Country.

"Do any of you have any good suggestions for the development of Black Wind Country?" Gentleman Bai She asked with a focused voice.

Upon hearing this,

the ministers looked at each other, and finally, an elderly man with a clean white beard stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the most pressing matter at hand is to address the issue of stability concerning the large influx of people into Black Wind Country."

"Although every person has been granted one acre of farmland, the spring ploughing season has passed, and the second season of summer ploughing has not yet arrived. The gap in between is difficult to manage!"

As soon as this statement was made,

the ministers began to nod in agreement.

The old man who had spoken had previously been the town head of Black Wind Town. After the establishment of the new Yamen, he became the Minister of History.

"What my dear minister said is reasonable!"

Gentleman Bai She nodded appreciatively, then turned his gaze to the other ministers and continued to ask, "Do any of you have any other suggestions? Feel free to bring them up!"

Seeing this,

"Your Majesty, I believe we should focus on education, as the sage once said…"

"Your Majesty, I suggest that we provide porridge relief to the people from the government or temporarily lend them food…."

"Your Majesty, I believe we should take full advantage of our geographical location by gathering fish and refining salt, and actively engage in trade with the surrounding countries."

"Your Majesty…"

Inside the main hall, the ministers spoke one by one, with most of them drawing on their own experiences to express their ideas.

• •

A moment later.

The main hall became quiet once again.

"My dear ministers, whether providing porridge, lending grain, promoting education, or trade, all of your suggestions make sense!"

First, Gentleman Bai She encouraged everyone with a sentence, and then he continued, "However, I think that the most important thing at this moment is…road construction!"

Road construction?

Upon hearing these two words, the ministers were confused. Before they could react, they heard a famous saying that would resonate throughout the world.

"If you want to be wealthy, build roads first!"

Gentleman Bai She said solemnly.

This statement was something he learned from Sir, who also explained the advantages of building roads first and why it is important.

"My ministers, the saying 'if you want to be wealthy, build roads first' is not something I came up with on my own. It dates back to the ancient days of the Pre-Qin Dynasty when the cutting of canals led to the prosperity of half of the country."

"Moreover, although our Black Wind Country has high-yielding divine seeds bestowed by Sir, and we have no shortage of food, we cannot simply give it to the newly-arrived people for free, so as not to encourage laziness."

"Therefore, I plan to…substitute work for relief, and let the newcomers invest in road construction and infrastructure before the next farming season."

"In addition, I intend to heavily promote the development of the Commerce Department by using national funds to establish cement and brick factories…."

Afterward,

he explained the so-called 'state-owned' factories, private trade, and various other concepts that were difficult to understand for the people of this era.

Speaking of which.

Gentleman Bai She's understanding of these things was due to his daily interactions with Sir, as well as to the face that he had specifically consulted with him after the founding of the country.

Upon hearing these words.

From the initial state of confusion, the officials gradually became enlightened, one by one, and were suddenly amazed by the revelations.

You should know.

Before the founding of Black Wind Country, they were nothing more than local gentry, or perhaps merchants and businessmen, and they had never heard such astonishing words.

"Long live the King! We salute you with utmost admiration!"

"The King is wise! We salute you with utmost admiration!"

One by one, the ministers bowed down, chanting slogans from their mouths, but not to flatter, but to genuinely admire from their hearts.

Just like that.

The first court meeting of Black Wind Country set the tone for the future development of the entire kingdom.

Spring comes and goes, and another year passes.

Time flies in the cultivation, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Black Wind Mountain Peak.

A wave invisible to the naked eye descended from the nine heavens, falling onto the body of Xuanqing, who was seated in closed-door cultivation.

Feeling the energy fluctuation hovering around, the God Soul attached to the Luck Jade Seal returned to the physical body.

[Ding! 1000 Innate Merits]

"Hoo~"

"Innate Merits… the salary from the Heavenly Court, this… another year has passed."

Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes and took a long, clear breath.

Looking at the Innate Merits in front of him, he suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.

"The Gathering Qi Bead, filled with incense, can be uploaded to the store."

"So., does that mean that as long as you store these innate merits in something, you can upload it to the store too, then., exchange it for Ingots?"

Thinking of the possibility of such a 'loophole,'

Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Moving in his heart.

In his hand appeared a fist-sized, semi-transparent crystal stone shining with a faint blue light.

That was… a Spiritual Crystal!

The so-called Spiritual Crystal was a crystal stone containing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. If placed in some cultivation novels, it would be the legendary Spirit Stone, only that the Spiritual Crystal was more advanced.

"To accommodate the innate merits, the Spiritual Crystal must first release the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy inside, then transform it into top-grade Gathering Qi Bead."

Xuanqing held the Spiritual Crystal in his hand.

The method of refining the Spiritual Crystal into a Gathering Qi Bead was learned during a previous chat with Five Plagues. It is said that the immortals of the Heavenly Court mostly do this.

"Go!"

With the immense mana of the Qi Flower, Xuanqing forcibly stripped the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy from the crystal.

Then, imprinting the 'Gathering Qi' formation on the crystal using the method of refining Gathering Qi Bead, it can now be used to store the innate merits.

In just a short moment,

A crystal stone that could store Innate Merits was completed.

[Small Qi Storing Crystal Stone: A strange crystal stone that can be used to store Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, netherworld energy, Human Merits, and Innate Merits.

"So, this object is called the Qi Storing Crystal Stone!" Xuanqing marveled.

Then,

With a thought,

He manipulated the Gathering Qi Crystal Stone, stuffing all the Innate Merits given by the Heavenly Court into this small crystal stone.

"Upload this item to the mall!"

[Product uploading…1%…6%… 51%…89%…100%!]

[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful, Mall increment: Small Qi Storing

Crystal Stone (10..1W)]

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Accumulating Ten Million Incense, Returning to Reality!

Translator: 549690339

In the store, there was a new item called 'Small Qi Storing Crystal Stone', with a price marked at 100,000.

More importantly… the unit of this '10.1W' price was ingots, which meant that it was possible to exchange ingots for higher-level Innate Merits.

"A Qi Storing Crystal Stone containing a thousand points of Innate Merits would require more than 100,000 ingots. If we subtract the value of the crystal stone itself, that means…"

"The exchange ratio between the two is one hundred to one?"

Xuanqing's mouth slightly curved up, feeling overjoyed.

Actually,

He didn't care about the exchange rate between ingots and Innate Merits. He just wondered if he could use the store to exchange Heavenly Merits as well?

If he could use the store to purchase Heavenly Merits, then it would be of great use.

"Open the store!"

Subsistence Pill (7), Basic Breathing Exercise (100), Taoist Novice Suit (100), Gathering Qi Bead (10), Full Qi Gathering Orb (20010), Chaos Pill (99W)… Ginseng Fruit Tree (100,000 Heavenly Merits)… Small Qi Storing Crystal Stone (10.1W)!

Looking at it,

The items in the game store had become quite varied, from the cheapest Subsistence Pill to the newly uploaded Small Qi Storing Crystal Stone.

However,

Among these items,

The one Xuanqing cared about the most was the Ginseng Fruit Tree that belonged to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots. It required a total of 100,000 Heavenly Merits to exchange for it.

After killing the Yellow Wind Monster, he only gained 10,000 merits, which was still far from the required 100,000 merits.

But if he could use the store and ingots to buy 'Heavenly Merits', wouldn't that be much easier than continuing to kill disaster-causing demons like the Yellow Wind Monster?

"If I can exchange for the Ginseng Fruit Tree, my cultivation after the Integration of Void Stage will be much simpler." Xuanqing's eyes were deep, and he was calculating in his mind.

Above the Integration of Void Stage is the Great Luo Realm. It generally requires eliminating the three corpses – past, present, and future.

For each corpse, a treasure is needed to bear it. As one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is naturally very suitable.

Of course.

With Xuanqing's current cultivation level, he was still in the mid-stage of the Integration of Void Stage, far from the Great Luo Realm.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts,

Suddenly,

Winds rose, clouds surged in the sky, and the dark clouds covered the entire land in temporary darkness.

Boom-

A thunderbolt split through the dark clouds.

"This is the vision for the promotion of an Immortal Official Record. Could it be that my incense has reached ten million?" Xuanqing looked up and couldn't help but whisper to himself.

Previously, when his incense reached five million, he was promoted to

fifth-rank from the base rank. To be promoted from the base fifth-rank to the standard fifth-rank, he needed a total of ten million incense.

As expected,

As the thunderbolt shattered the dark clouds, a vast, divine aura descended.

[Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunder Department, Daoist Xuanqing to listen for the sealing!]

[Due to his merits to the people and the flourishing of his incense, reaching more than ten million, he is promoted to: Taiji Left Palace Cavity Ming Upper Demon Subduing Supervisor, standard fifth rank!]

Seeing this scene,

Xuanqing remained expressionless, with no emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Whoosh-

He lightly tapped his toes, and his whole body floated towards the area under the sky where the vision appeared.

"I… accept!"

In an instant,

A giant pillar of light, radiating an incomparably mysterious aura, enveloped him.

Under the influence of the light pillar, Xuanqing's destiny in this world slowly elevated, bit by bit, until it reached the level of a standard fifth-rank Daoist Immortal Official, before finally stopping.

As for all this,

Xuanqing was already well-versed in this, so naturally he didn't feel that anything was out of the ordinary.

Even his subordinate gods had become accustomed to their master's seemingly flying-fast promotion speed among immortal officials, and they were busy with their own tasks, not gathering around to watch as they had done before.

For Xuanqing now, whether his Daoist Immortal Official rank was promoted to the standard fifth rank or even the fourth rank, it would not have any fundamental meaning as long as there was no new system function unlocked.

Anyway, at present, in the whole Three Realms, as long as they were eminent members of the Taoist community, they more or less had connections with him, so the rank of the immortal official would not affect his development.

On the contrary.

The accumulated '5 million' incense from the fifth rank to the standard fifth rank would make people even more expectant.

"In the game world, only a little over a month has passed in the real world, but the accumulated incense has gone from the original 5 million to 10 million incense."

"It must be that the relocation of the Taoist community in the real world has been completed, but I don't know how long it will be and how much incense can increase every day!"

Xuanqing thought to himself.

Just in time.

There was temporarily nothing else to do in the game world, and his practice with the Divine's Flower required waiting for the development of the Black Wind Country.

Why not return to the real world and see how the relocated Taoist community has developed, and take a break in the process?

Although the overall refreshing feeling brought by the soul's improvement during cultivation was good, after a long time, it was inevitably a bit boring. It would be nice to go back and relax.

"The God Soul is attached to the Luck Jade Seal passively using the Black Wind Country's National Luck to nourish the God Soul; under such circumstances… I should be able to use Hang-up Cultivation!"

Back at Black Wind Mountain.

Through the Immortal Official Document, he sent a message to one of his subordinate gods, stating that he would continue with his closed-door cultivation and not to disturb him unless something significant happened.

Following that.

Xuanqing sat back in his original position.

With a thought, he sacrificed the Luck Jade Seal, and his God Soul emerged from his body, attaching itself to the Luck Jade Seal.

After completing all this.

"Exit the game!"

Real World.

Qingping Temple.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

The first thing he did after waking up from the game was to activate the Hang-up Cultivation status.

"Activate Hang-up Cultivation status!"

[Beep! -1 Ingot…]

With the deduction of the ingot, the character in the game world automatically operated the "Qi Luck Controlling Dragon" technique, using the National Luck in the Luck Jade Seal to nourish the God Soul.

In an instant.

The comfort brought by the nourishment of the soul at ten times the usual speed swept over his mind.

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing shuddered involuntarily and couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Originally, after a year of soul cultivation in the game world, he had become accustomed to the refreshing sensation of God Soul's improvement, but this sensation suddenly increased… tenfold, which was overwhelming for anyone!

It took a full thirty minutes for him to recover from this ultimate comfort.

When he had calmed down.

"Qingyun, hurry to Qingping Temple!" Xuanqing patted his Immortal Official Record on his waist.

Moments later.

Accompanied by the ground's slight trembling, a small figure slowly emerged from the ground.

"Greetings, Sir!" Huai Qingyun bowed, but his voice sounded weak.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Well, my good child, why are you so listless?"

"Sigh-"

A sigh echoed.

Huai Qingyun's expression was full of misery as he rubbed his temples, "Sir, why are those tree demons so stupid compared to others?"

"Just the simple task of collecting and replacing the Gathering Qi Beads, it takes at least hundreds of repetitions to teach them… Sir… I'm so tired."

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh and cry.

In his mind, he couldn't help but picture the scene when he was enlightening the ancient trees. Those guys with squinted eyes and drooling mouths, low IQ, and completely looking like landowner's dumb sons, each one more twisted and uneven than the other.

"You've really worked hard, Qingyun. Come here, I have something nice for you." Xuanqing consoled him with a sentence and waved at him.

With a thought,

He took the salary provided by the Heavenly Court from the Game Backpack and infused it into Huai Qingyun's body.

In an instant,

"Ah~"

Huai Qingyun closed his eyes and let out a soft grunt.

Although Innate Merit didn't have much use for the current Xuanqing, for Huai Qingyun, a tree demon like him could use it to purify his divine soul and rid himself of its negative aura.

"That was so comfortable, thank you, sir!" Huai Qingyun licked his lips, his expression containing a hint of satisfaction.

"Hmm!"

Xuanqing nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Go, remove and replace the Gathering Qi Beads that have been placed during this period."

"Yes, sir!"

• •

It only took two hours of work.

The ground trembled slightly,

Huai Qingyun, holding a Sumeru Bag, arrived and said, "Sir, I've brought all the things."

Upon seeing this,

Xuanqing couldn't help but be surprised.

Previously, it took Huai Qingyun a whole day to replace the Gathering Qi Beads of the 81 Taoist temples in Changling City.

Now that the whole Yan Country was covered, more than 400 Taoist temples could have their Gathering Qi Beads removed in just two hours. The increase in efficiency was not small.

"Well done!"

Xuanqing praised him and asked casually after taking the Sumeru Bag, "Qingyun, has the Taoist temple been relocated completely?"

"All have been moved, and the relocation was completed half a month ago. I even attended the opening ceremony-" Huai Qingyun replied.

Hearing this,

Xuanqing understood.

No wonder they have accumulated tens of millions of incense offerings in such a short period of time; the relocation had been completed half a month ago.

"Alright, you can go now."

"Yes, sir!"

Huai Qingyun bowed and then spun around a few times before slowly sinking into the ground.

Next,

It was time for the harvest.

Xuanqing looked at the Sumeru Bag, looking forward to how many Ingots he could harvest this time, and whispered in his heart:

"Convert into Ingots!"

[Ding! 440W Ingots!, an alert sounded in his mind.

Xuanqing's mouth slightly curved upwards, a full 4,400,000 Ingots. This was the most Ingots he had ever received.

With a thought,

"Open Character Panel!"

[Name: Xuanqing

[Physique: Chaos Merits Holy Body.

[Grade: Taiji Left Palace Dongming Upper Daemon Slayer Zhileiting General Manager (Fifth Rank)

[Cultivation: Integration of Void Stage (Mid Stage)

[Cultivation Method: Food-Qi Decree

[Divine Ability: Qi Luck Controlling Dragon (»), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Minor Success), Five Elements Talisman Array (Perfection)

[Ingot: 6,362,004

On the Character Panel, the remaining Ingots section showed a total of 6.36 million.

It's safe to say that this is the first time Xuanqing has had such a massive amount of Ingots since obtaining the cultivation quantifier.

"6.36 million Ingots, I can't spend them all, there's no way I can spend them all!"

A look of worry appeared on Xuanqing's face as he shook his head and muttered softly, but if you looked closely, you could see that the corners of his mouth were already struggling to keep from turning up.

He silently calculated in his heart.

About thirty-five days had passed since the last incense handover, and during those thirty-five days, he had gained 4.4 million.

Before the Taoist temple relocation, only Changling had the Gathering Qi Bead, with around 30,000 incense offerings per day, which means that in the first twenty-one days, he should have gotten 630,000.

After the relocation of the Taoist academy, in just fourteen days, he gained 3.77 million incense offerings… considering this.

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing couldn't help but gasp.

According to this calculation… after the whole relocation, the daily incense offerings reached a staggering 269,000, almost 270,000.

Although there might be some errors in it, it's definitely an astonishing number.

"One day with 270,000, one month with 8,100,000, one year… 97,000,000, rounding up to 100 million!"

Even if they knew that the relocation of the Taoist academy would increase the incense offerings, the actual calculation still made them excited.

Originally.

He wasn't very confident about the future promotion of the Daoist Immortal Officer, but looking at the current situation, there was hope for his future promotion to the first grade and establishing a Dao Court.

More importantly.

The current daily income of 270,000 incense offerings is far from the limit of the Taoist academy.

You should know that there were 423 Taoist temples in the Taoist academy alone.

Just in the two holy lands of Changling and Jiang City, there were 201, while the other twenty cities had a total of 222.

Moreover, the daily 270,000 incense offerings were divided among every Taoist temple, amounting to about 636 each.

It should be noted that one or two points can be contributed by a healthy adult with a little bit of reverence, and at least 4-5 points for devout ones.

Even taking the average of 3 points means that the daily flow of incense offerings for each Taoist temple is just over 200 people.

Therefore.

The current situation is… there is still a lot of room for improvement in the total number of Taoist temples, and there is a significant room for growth in daily incense offerings at each Taoist temple.

With these two factors combined, the amount of incense offerings that could be gained each day could be an unbelievably shocking number that one might not even dare to believe.

With this in mind.

"Sigh-" Xuanqing took a deep breath, reciting a serenity spell in his heart to calm himself down.

"There is still a lot of room to expand the Taoist academy, but… I'll leave such matters to my subordinates."

Xuanqing thought to himself.

Then.

He took out his phone from the Game Backpack, connected to the Internet, and sent messages to Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and Yang Ying, the three core members of Taiji Hall, asking them all to come to Qingping Mountain.

It's worth mentioning.

He placed the phone in the Game Backpack because he found that the molecular movement of objects in the Game Backpack is stagnant.

In lay terms, the time inside the backpack is stopped, so the phone would not consume power when placed inside.

• •

About an hour later.

A civilian helicopter flew over Qingping Temple and landed in the parking lot, where two elders and a woman in professional attire disembarked.

These two elders… were Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing, and the woman was naturally Yang Ying..

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Divine Power is Complete!

Translator: 549690339

"Greetings, temple master!"

"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, Two Elders, Yang Ying, you guys have come by helicopters!" Xuanqing greeted them with a smile.

Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing exchanged a smile.

"Thanks to the blessings of the temple master, now the whole Taoist sect is connected in one breath, merging and expanding enterprises. In order to save time and develop better, our sect has applied for several air routes and has equipped ten helicopters."

Hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded with satisfaction.

From the surface, the Taoist sect seemed inconspicuous, but in Yan Country, it had considerable influence.

The reason for this was that the path of the Taoist sect was formerly for the elites, while now it was expanding into ordinary people, naturally exploding with great energy.

After exchanging pleasantries, they got straight to the point.

Xuanqing's face turned serious as he said in a solemn voice, "Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying, all three of you are the backbones of Taiji Hall."

"I called you here to discuss how to continue expanding the reach of the Taoist sect and attract more layman to the Taoist temple to offer incense."

"In fact, you should see it now, the fundamental purpose of me establishing Taiji Hall is for the incense…how to get incense while ensuring stability!"

Upon hearing this,

The three of them fell into deep thought.

After a moment,

Yang Ying was the first to speak:

"Temple Master, if we want to increase incense now, we can only start from two aspects, one is to expand the number of Taoist temples, and the second is to increase the influence of the Taoist sect, thereby increasing the number of visitors to each Taoist temple."

It must be said,

After such a long period of training, Yang Ying was no longer the naive little journalist who used to work in the television station, where her suggestions would be rejected.

"Yang Ying, what you said is in line with what I thought."

Xuanqing nodded, he also thought the same way, and then looked at Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing, "Do you two elders have any suggestions?"

Hearing the temple master's question,

Elder Qianqing, who had just joined Taiji Hall not long ago, didn't know Xuanqing's temperament and didn't dare to speak casually.

On the other hand, Elder Jingde raised his hand and shared the ideas in his mind, "The old Dao responds to the temple master, I think Yang Ying's words make sense."

"As for how to choose to increase the influence of the Taoist sect, I am not very familiar with this. However… if we want to continue expanding and increasing the number of Taoist temples, I am afraid we will face a problem of insufficient manpower!"

"Currently, the fresh blood of the Taoist sect mainly relies on the Taoist Academy in Jiang City, which mainly enrolls new graduates every year!"

"Even if the audience's welfare benefits have been increased due to the temple master, and the number of applicants has increased, we will have to wait for several years after graduation to have enough manpower!"

Upon hearing the words of Elder Jingde,

Xuanqing's brows furrowed slightly.

After thinking for a moment,

He asked, "How many registered Taoists do we have in our sect now?"

"Nine hundred and eighty people!"

Elder Jingde blurted out the number without any hesitation.

In fact, he had been paying attention to this issue since he first became the Heavenly Master, which is why he was so clear.

Nine hundred and eighty people…

Hearing this number,

Xuanqing couldn't help but fall silent.

It should be noted that,

There are currently a total of 4.23 Taoist temples in Yan Country, but there are only 980 people. On average, each Taoist temple has only two people.

The actual situation might be even worse. Before the migration of the entire Taoist sect, some famous mountains and Taoist temples had several or even ten Daoists, while the remote ones were mostly empty and deserted."

After thinking for a moment,

Xuanqing made a decision in his heart and then said,

"Two ciders, what you have to do is to expand new Taoist temples on the basis of the current number of people, and create the third sacred Taoist site outside Jiang City and Changling."

"Next, increase the academy's efforts to attract talent, lower the admission requirements, and improve the welfare treatment of students."

Hearing that.

"Yes, Palace Lord!" Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing glanced at each other and then solemnly nodded.

Xuanqing looked at Yang Ying.

He thought that with Yang Ying's ability, it was a waste to just be responsible for charity now.

"Yang Ying, your task now is to make every effort to enhance the influence of the Taoist School, whether it is online promotion or offline promotion."

"Don't be afraid to spend money, and if you encounter any obstacles, let Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing handle them."

Hearing this.

"Yes, Palace Lord!" Yang Ying stood up straight and answered seriously.

"Alright, you may leave!"

The three of them bowed and left the Taoist temple, heading towards the parking lot.

On this side.

Watching the followers leave.

Whoosh-

Xuanqing's figure flickered and he arrived at the back mountain of Qingping Mountain.

In the Game World, the system has been set up to gain experience automatically, only waiting for the Black Wind Country to develop slowly, without his need to do anything.

"So, the time has come to focus on cultivating divine powers!" Xuanqing murmured softly.

You should know.

Although he is already close to the realm of Golden Immortal without leakage, in terms of divine power, besides the Qi Luck Dragon Mastery Chapter, which has no rank, he has only mastered the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method".

It's worth mentioning that.

According to the incense income he gets every day, even if he turns on the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for 24 hours a day, he would still have a surplus of 190,000.

The consumption is less than the gain… which means the perpetual motion machine of Xuanqing's Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom!

Xuanqing felt heartfelt regret. It could be said that since he began practicing, he had never fought like this before.

With no shortage of Ingots now, it's natural to spend heavily.

"Activate the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for a month!"

[Beep! -2,592,000 Ingots, balance: 3.77 million…]

The moment the ingots were deducted, he entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, casting aside ordinary people's wisdom.

Xuanqing's eyes were filled with a faint light, and his observation power and comprehension had been enhanced to the limit of his physical body and divine soul.

With a thought.

He began practicing the Tiangang Thirty-six Method.

All kinds of unclear things from the past became easily understood in the state of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.

More importantly.

After achieving the Chaos Morality Holy Body, his physical strength has increased more than a hundred times, and under such circumstances, his comprehension ability has improved several times compared to before when he activated the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state.

That is because his divine soul has not yet condensed the Divine's flower, otherwise, the effect would be even more terrifying.

About the comprehension of the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method"… it was visibly improving!

• •

Just like that.

Time passed slowly.

Two months passed, and it's worth mentioning that Xuanqing, who didn't lack ingots, renewed the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom state without any hesitation when it came to an end.

Hard work… will eventually come back to reward.

One day.

Xuanqing's eyes were full of joy as they opened..

"Phew-"

"It wasn't easy, after sixty days and nights of cultivation, I finally have a decent divine power."

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

With a thought in mind.

[Ingot: 458,020

In the Character Panel's [Divine Ability] column, the suffix of "Tiangang Thirty-six Method" has become the state of great achievement, and the remaining Ingots were just a little over 450,000.

"It's been two months, and the hybrid grains in the game world should be running low. It's time to replenish them," Xuanqing thought to himself.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Yang Ying, asking her to bring more hybrid grains to Qingping Mountain.

Of course.

Not only the seeds, but the real world has been two months, and according to the previous daily 270,000 Ingots of income, there should be 16 million incenses by now.

"Tsk tsk, the more Ingots I spend, the more I have. I can't use them up-"

"When I have time later, I'll go to heaven to ask our ancestors what treasures can hold Heavenly Merits."

As long as he finds a treasure that can hold Heavenly Merits, he can upload it to the mall and exploit a loophole, eventually achieving the goal of exchanging Ingots for Heavenly Merits.

He remembers that in the store, for 100,000 Heavenly Merits, he can buy a Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Although it is far from the Slaying Corpse Realm, it is always good to be prepared.

About an hour later.

Yang Ying arrived at Qingping Mountain in a helicopter.

However, it was strange that she came empty-handed and did not bring the hybrid grains as Xuanqing requested.

"Yang Ying, is there any problem with the grain?" Xuanqing asked with doubt.

Yang Ying nodded.

"Palace Lord, because we have brought a large amount of hybrid grains to the mountain several times, we have attracted the attention of the relevant departments, and they have already begun investigating us."

"If we continue to bring the seeds, I'm afraid… we might get into trouble!" Yang Ying's face was a little solemn, and her tone was somewhat panicked.

Hearing this.

Xuanqing shook his head slightly and then said indifferently, "Don't worry about exposure. In fact, my existence is not a secret in the eyes of the Yan Country's upper class."

"Anything involving the Government Office should be left to Elder Jingde to handle!"

Not a secret?

Yang Ying was secretly surprised and then cautiously asked, "Palace Lord, what do you want these hybrid grains for… if it's not convenient to say… then your subordinate…"

"There's nothing inconvenient to say."

Xuanqing waved his hand noncommittally.

He had long been invincible in this real world, and the reason why he didn't talk about these things was just because he was too lazy, not because he couldn't.

"The world is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Buddhism has the concept of three thousand small worlds, and Taoism also has many desire realms."

"I control a kingdom in a small world, with a population of millions, and the technology level is roughly at the time of the Tang Dynasty, which is why I need a large amount of hybrid grains."

At these words.

Yang Ying's pupils suddenly contracted.

Though she knew her palace lord was using so many grains for some special purpose, she never expected that he was actually in control of a kingdom, and that… the feudal dynasty was at the level of technology in the Tang Dynasty.

More importantly, from the palace lord's words, it seemed to learn some incredible news that there were countless worlds in this world, and it seemed that the palace lord could even travel through some small worlds.

sigh*

Yang Ying took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and then slightly bowed, "Sir, should I go and load the hybrid grain now?"

"Go!"

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

As he watched Yang Ying's departing figure, a thought crossed his mind, and he came up with an idea.

"Wait a moment!"

Yang Ying stopped in her tracks, turning her head with a puzzled look.

"I have one more thing for you to do. After you go down, recruit some psychology experts, history experts, top authors who write transmigration novels… and other experts from various fields to form a workshop!"

"As for the name of the workshop… um, just say it's for developing a game. Don't be afraid to spend money and don't worry about getting into trouble. There's nothing in this world that I can't handle."

Xuanqing said lightly.

Although these words might sound a bit exaggerated, he was not exaggerating at all. Even if there were a nuclear explosion, he could handle it.

At this moment.

Yang Ying was stunned, but then she realized what was happening.

She was a smart person and quickly figured out that her master was ostensibly setting up a workshop, but in reality, he was recruiting advisors to learn from each other and help develop the feudal dynasty in another world.

"Understood. I'll arrange for the hybrid grain to be sent up first, and then set up the workshop."

Yang Ying bowed and then slowly backed away.

After leaving the room.

Yang Ying first used her phone to contact the agricultural research institute and arranged for a truck to deliver the hybrid grain immediately.

She then pondered how to set up the workshop.

Oh, it seemed that there was a top author named "Handsome Old Bai" on the internet recently. He had a rich imagination and strong logical ability.

"Sir said not to worry about money, so I might as well recruit this author first." Yang Ying muttered softly.

Compared to other experts, this type of author, even a top author, was relatively easy to recruit.

One silver donation could help her get the author's contact information, and then another gold donation, and she would be able to meet with the author.

Qingping Temple.

Afternoon.

Accompanied by the rumbling noise, more than a hundred trucks loaded with hybrid grain unloaded their cargo in the back of the Taoist temple and then hurriedly departed.

Xuanqing naturally sensed this scene.

Whoosh-

Xuanqing, who was originally sitting cross-legged, flickered and appeared in the back mountain, and then swung his right hand to collect all the mountain-like grain into his Game Backpack.

After finishing all this.

"In two months' reality time, it's almost two years in the Game World. Send the hybrid grain to Qingxu and see how the development of Black Wind Country is going." Xuanqing waved his hand to lay down the formation, and directly sat cross-legged on the spot.

With a thought.

"Enter the game!"

Black Wind Mountain.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

Summoning the Immortal Official Record, he initiated the connection to

Gentleman Bai She.

"Qingxu, come to Black Wind Mountain quickly!"

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan Invades!

Translator: 549690339

Moments later.

Gentleman Bai She, clad in a black dragon robe, arrived at the Black Wind Mountain.

"I humbly greet, Sir!"

"Tsks, it's been a while, and you've completely dissipated the demonic aura about you. Truly fitting for a Human Emperor who is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth." Xuanqing was impressed by the sight before him.

"My ability to rid myself of the demonic aura is all thanks to the position of Human Emperor bestowed upon me by you, Sir!" Gentleman Bai She deeply bowed in gratitude.

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded and casually asked.

"How is the Black Wind Country's development going?"

"In response to you, sir!"

"In the past two years, the Black Wind Country has completed the renovation of the Imperial City, and…opened up three new cities. At present, the total population has exceeded two million people."

"We have constructed two cement official roads running through the Black Wind Country. The monthly production of the country's self-operated cement factory… self-operated brick factory… self-operated glass factory…"

"Moreover, as per your instructions, we have encouraged the citizens to engage in commerce and open private factories. Currently, decent progress has been made in the textile industry, furniture factories, and salt fields."

"As per your instructions, we have also opened several commercial routes to the Tang Empire. Our self-operated glass and private textile factory products are selling very well in cities south of the Two Realms Mountain."

Accompanied by Gentleman Bai She's narration, an image of a thriving state was painted in Xuanqing's mind.

Taking into account the human path power of the Black Wind Country, which is at least several times stronger than before, it was evident that Gentleman Bai She, the Human Emperor with a demon body, was diligently managing the kingdom.

In fact,

Xuanqing was not at all worried about whether Gentleman Bai She could manage Black Wind Country well.

What Xuanqing needs is not the king of expansion.

What he needs more is a loyal and obedient Human Emperor who, as long as he follows his plan, combined with the assurance of real-world technology, even a pig could manage the Black Wind Kingdom well.

"You've done well, keep working hard, so I can help you achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body by condensing the Divine's flower as soon as possible!" Xuanqing encouraged.

"Yes, Sir!"

Gentleman Bai She nodded solicitously. His eyes were filled with ardent anticipation, and he had made up his mind to work even harder to enable Sir to condense the Divine's flower sooner.

"By the way, Sir, there's something I need to report to you!"

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Xuanqing was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously.

"This is the matter…" Gentleman Bai She began cautiously: "Some time ago, an envoy from the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan said their country's population was dwindling significantly, and asked us to cancel welfare benefits, otherwise…" "Otherwise what?" Xuanqing scoffed. Even though Gentleman Bai She had not finished speaking, he already had a pretty good idea of what the envoy meant.

"Otherwise, they will send troops to attack our Black Wind Country." Gentleman Bai She shared helplessly.

"How did you respond?"

Xuanqing stared at Gentleman Bai She.

If the latter were to exhibit weakness in such matters, he would consider whether it was time to replace the Human Emperor.

However.

Gentleman Bai She, having followed his master for such a long time, naturally understood Xuanqing's temperament, and indeed did not disappoint.

"In response to Sir, I had this envoy's ear cut off, and told him to convey a message to the King of Wusi Tibetan. If it's war they want… the Black Wind Country will meet them head-on!"

"Qingxu, you've done well. This is the spirit of the Black Wind Country!"

Xuanqing nodded approvingly.

Pretty much,

People aspire to go higher, water flows to the lower place. The citizens of the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan who chose to migrate to Black Wind did so naturally in search of a better life, a full belly.

Meanwhile, the envoy's words reminded Xuanqing of a certain capitalist in the real world.

Refusing to raise workers' wages – glorifying it as necessary for market survival, for the other businessmen to survive, raising the flag of greater good while engaging in exploitative activities.

Hearing the praise from our Sir.

Gentleman Bai She let out a sigh of relief. He was a little worried that Sir might blame him for causing trouble.

"Sir, Wusi Tibetan Kingdom has a population of tens of millions, and a military force of millions. What do we need to do to deal with them?"

It's worth mentioning that.

The history of this world and the real world is not exactly the same, these empires and kingdoms, regardless of population or territory, are all incredibly vast.

Like this Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, it was just a small frontier country in Nanshan Continent, but it also has tens of millions of population and also had millions of kilometers of territory.

"Don't worry, although immortals cannot directly participate in mortal wars, it's not a problem to set up a murder formation and delay for several years." Xuanqing said indifferently.

Of course.

What he didn't say was that ordinary immortals could not participate because they were afraid of the huge karmic force.

But as a Chaos Morality Holy Body, he would not suffer from karmic backlash for whatever he did in this world.

If the other party knows the current affairs, with his character, naturally, he disdains to slaughter mortals, but if the other party dares to jump in front of him, he will not indulge it and will kill it directly. As simple as that.

"By the way, how many high-yield grains are left in Black Wind Country now?" "Reporting to Sir, due to the increase in population, the high-yield grains have been used up, and the third season has been planted, resulting in a significant decrease in yield." Gentleman Bai She answered.

Hearing this.

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

Then.

He swung his right hand, took out the hybrid grains from the game backpack, and piled them up into a small mountain on the ground.

"Take these grains away. I will send more before they're used up." Xuanqing said in a deep voice.

"If there's any movement in the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, remember to inform me. If there's nothing else, you can leave!"

Backed by the complete industrial system of the real world, as long as you spend money, even if it is more grains, you can get it.

"Yes… I'll take my leave!"

Gentleman Bai She bowed and then turned into a breeze, flying towards the palace of Black Wind Country.

Black Wind Mountain.

He was the only one left, sitting cross-legged.

He looked in the direction of Nanshan Continent, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable color.

"Wusi Tibetan Kingdom… I hope you know what's good for you. If you dare to disturb my cultivation, as a Taoist Master, I don't mind getting involved myself."

Xuanqing sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Of course.

Even if he gets involved personally, he is not going to slaughter those ordinary people and junior soldiers, but rather to decimate the upper echelons of the opponent.

Remember, ordinary civilians and soldiers just want to scrape by.

As the saying goes, "the happy people suffer, and the dead people also suffer." Whenever there is a war, the beneficiaries must be those behind-the-scenes upper echelons. The suffering masses are nothing more than sacrificial fodder.

After dealing with these matters.

With a thought.

"Luck Jade Seal!"

Hum-

Xuanqing produced the Luck Jade Seal, which hovered in the air.

The present Black Wind Country was countless times stronger than at the beginning. He planned to try time acceleration again.

His god soul came out of his body, attached to the Immortal Official Record.

"Start half a month time acceleration!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: It seems… I have no choice but to disturb Sir's tranquil life!

Translator: 549690339

"Ding, -9 ingots"

Accompanied by the deduction of ingots.

In an instant.

The floating Luck Jade Seal trembles, like a water pump, crazily absorbing the power of national luck.

The vast national luck, like nourishing fluid in the womb, nourishes the God Soul. The pleasure brought by the improvement is more than ten times that of ordinary practice.

"Hiss-"

Xuanqing's enjoyment was so extreme that his eyes rolled back, he took a deep breath of cold air, resembling an angry guy from a certain Hong Kong movie.

After a while.

The effect of accelerating time for a month ended.

"Phew~"

Xuanqing opened his eyes. After awakening from the immense pleasure, he perceived the national luck of the Black Wind Kingdom for the first time.

In his perception, the national luck is slightly weak, but it no longer appears as overused as before.

And this weak national luck is recovering at a visible speed. He estimated that it would be completely back to its original state in just a few days.

"Now, the Black Wind Kingdom can withstand accelerating for one month. As long as it continues to develop, it can sooner or later withstand acceleration for half a year…one year…several years."

"By then… using national luck to form a Divine's flower will be possible in no time!"

Xuanqing had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with this result.

Then.

He sat cross-legged and started practicing the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom, deriving the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method" while waiting for the national luck of the Black Wind Kingdom to recover.

Just like that.

The following days were spent practicing Divine Power… accelerating the Luck Jade Seal…waiting for national luck to recover…practicing Divine power. It was a cycle.

On the other side.

The capital of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom…Wusi City!

Inside the main hall of the palace.

The civil and military officials had already been waiting on both sides of the main hall. As the Minister of Singing called…for the Court Meeting.

An old man dressed in black dragon robes, under the support of many Ministry of Rites guards, sat on the highest Dragon Throne.

In an instant.

"The ministers meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground, shouting loudly.

Seeing this scene.

The king of Wusi stroked his beard and smiled. Even after decades, he still enjoyed this scene of looking down on everyone.

"All my ministers should stay alive. Is there any matter to report?"

"Minister…There is a matter to report!"

As soon as the words fell.

A middle-aged man in a purple and green coloured robe stepped forward to bow, with a strong look of resentment on his face that couldn't be waved away.

"Your Majesty, I was sent to the Black Wind tiny country, as you commanded, asking them to stop using disgraceful means to plunder our people."

"But…that king of Black Wind turned out to be a barbarian with different customs. He not only cut off my right ear but also ranted, telling us to send troops to the Wusi Kingdom."

The middle-aged envoy turned his head to show his wound.

Upon hearing this.

All the officials in the hall…and the king of Wusi looked over, and indeed saw that this imperial doctor… was missing an ear.

Seeing this scene.

The King of Wusi's face was like frost, and he slapped the Dragon Throne hard with his hand.

Slap!

"The tiny Black Wind Country, just a remote small town, has dared to rebel against me…."

As soon as these words came out.

The ministers below began to discuss heatedly. For this arrogant Black Wind Country, they were disdainful.

Immediately, a General in armour stepped forward with his hands held horn-like.

"Your Majesty, the Black Wind does not know its place and is extremely arrogant. I am willing to serve Your Majesty, lead the troops to the Black Wind Country and…exterminate them!"

Upon hearing this.

"Hahaha- Good."

The King of Wusi laughed a few times, nodded in satisfaction, waved his big hand, and said loudly:

"General Wen, everyone knows of your bravery, I permit you to lead one hundred thousand troops to exterminate the Black Wind!"

Hearing the phrase 'the brave men all know'.

General Wen could not help but lift his head, looking extraordinarily proud.

He immediately knelt on one knee and roared with his fists clasped:

"The subordinate obeys the order!"

On the other side.

In a martial arts arena of Black Wind Kingdom's capital.

"The subordinate obeys the order!"

A determined man with a sturdy figure, holding the Black Wind flag, loudly shouted towards the high platform.

He was a general of the Black Wind Kingdom and behind him, there were soldiers divided into numerous small squares. There were probably tens of thousands of them.

And on the high platform.

Gentleman Bai She stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at all the soldiers in the martial arts arena, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Next moment.

"Attention!

A loud bellow.

Swish-

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood straight simultaneously, feet together, bodies slightly leaning forward. Their actions were orderly and neat, giving off an indescribable charm.

Subsequently.

The black flag in the general's hand suddenly swung to the right.

In an instant.

"Wind- Wind- Wind…" Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, their voices soared like a dragon rising to the sky, exuding a momentum that made one's heart tremble.

The flag in the general's hands waved again.

Da…Da Da..Da Da… The soldiers began to run, increasing their speed in tune with the waving of the flag.

Watching the practice in the martial arts arena.

Gentleman Bai She felt somewhat shaken.

This Black Wind New Army was trained based on a 'military manual' given by Sir.

"Sir's wisdom, truly as vast and immeasurable as the ocean, this kind of new army training method can actually train the soldiers to the point where thousands of people act as one."

"Unexpectedly, just simple tasks like folding blankets, walking in formation… and so on, these seemingly useless things, can actually cultivate the soldiers to such a degree of cohesion, where tens of thousands of people act as a single entity."

Gentleman Bai She's eyes, looking in the direction of Black Wind Mountain.

Sir isn't just backed by a deep background, this wisdom is also beyond any bounds, the reverence in his heart is becoming more and more intense.

Half a month passed in a flash.

This day.

In the Imperial Study Room.

Gentleman Bai She was reviewing the memorandum.

Suddenly.

"Reporting-"

A guard walked into the room, knelt on one knee, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Wusi Tibetan Kingdom has sent out General Wen Ma and a million soldiers, they have already set off from the capital!"

A million troops?

Gentleman Bai She was shocked, his face filled with mixed emotions.

Previously, through the drill, he learned about the strength of the Black Wind Army, but even if it was stronger, there were only tens of thousands, how could they deal with a million soldiers.

"Dispatch all spies, I want to keep track of the enemy's movements at all times!"

"Yes!

The guard nodded his head, knowing the urgency of the matter, he refrained from engaging in formalities, and directly turned to pass on his king's order.

After the guard left.

Gentleman Bai She stood up, moving back and forth with his hands behind his back.

If it was any other king, perhaps an emergency court meeting would have already been convened to discuss how to deal with this matter.

But for Gentleman Bai She, the Human Emperor, no ministers are more reliable than Sir.

"Sigh.. I can only go and disturb Sir's peace!"

Gentleman Bai She let out a long sigh, then turned into a breeze, flying towards the direction of Black Wind Mountain..

Translator: 549690339

Black Wind Mountain.

Seated cross-legged on a cushion, Xuanqing can't help but tremble slightly with his body while his gaze seems somewhat hazy.

Moments later.

"Hoo-"}

Xuanqing let out a long sigh, finally returning to normal. Though so much time had passed, he was still unable to resist the comfort brought by time acceleration.

In this half-month period, he had already undergone time acceleration five times, and his God Soul had improved to some extent.

As for the cultivation progress of the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method," however, it still remained at the completed stage. To reach perfection, there's still a distance to go.

"Sir-"

A voice came from a distance.

The White Snake Gentleman, dressed in a black dragon robe, hurriedly walked toward Black Wind Mountain.

"Sir… The Wusi Tibetan Kingdom has sent troops. A general named Wen has led one million soldiers to leave the royal capital, heading towards our Black Wind."

The White Snake Gentleman bent slightly, his tone somewhat anxious.

It's not that he cared deeply about Black Wind Country, but the development of Black Wind Country would determine whether the Sir could condense the Divine's flower, and whether he could achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body.

For any cultivator, no matter how indifferent their character, they can't help but be involved in matters of cultivation.

One million troops?

Xuanqing frowned slightly, "Are you sure that the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom only has a population of tens of millions, not hundreds of millions?"

"Aah… Huh?" The White Snake Gentleman paused, not quite understanding the meaning of Sir's words, but still replied: "It's not hundreds of millions, just tens of millions of citizens."

"Hehe!"}

Xuanqing smiled slightly.

According to the agricultural level of this era, a kingdom with tens of millions of people could only have a maximum of one million soldiers. Otherwise, they could not afford to feed them.

Even so, these million soldiers were scattered all over the country, and it was impossible to mobilize them all unless it was a battle for the country's survival.

For example.

This situation was much like that of real-world billionaires, who, though they may claim to have tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth, would struggle to gather even one billion dollars in cash.

"No need to worry, the so-called million-strong army is nothing but a bluff."

Xuanqing laughed and waved his hand, then explained: "Qingxu, you may not know, but in human countries, when it comes to war, leading tens of thousands of troops can be called an army of hundreds of thousands, and leading hundreds of thousands can be called a million-strong army."

"In my humble opinion… The Wusi Tibetan Kingdom can mobilize at most one hundred thousand."}

Upon hearing this,

The White Snake Gentleman suddenly realized, murmuring softly, "So it could be like this…"

If, as Sir said, the other side had only one hundred thousand troops, with the strength of Black Wind's army, he had the confidence to crush the opposition in a one-on-one battle.

That's right.

Black Wind Country had one hundred thousand new soldiers, and because Black Wind's territory wasn't very large, these soldiers could be mobilized entirely.

"Alright, there's no need to worry about this Wusi Tibetan issue; I refined an Array Disk a few days ago."

As he spoke,

A palm-sized jade disk appeared in Xuanqing's hand, with colorful lights flashing upon it. It vaguely seemed to have five colors intertwined.

"This Array Disk contains the Five Elements Ring Array. The Five Elements cycle between Heaven and Earth to kill enemies and trap people."

"If the Wusi Tibetan's troops are too numerous, even if you can't defeat them head-on, you can use this Array Disk to keep them outside our territory."

"Yes, Sir!"

The White Snake Gentleman let out a sigh of relief, took the Array Disk, and left Black Wind Mountain.

With Sir's Array Disk and given the other side's bluff, he now had absolute confidence in fighting against the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan.

Watching the White Snake Gentleman leave,

Xuanqing smiled and shook his head. Then he activated Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom and began practicing the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method" in his mind, waiting for Black Wind Country's National Luck to recover.

As the saying goes,

Before troops and horses are set in motion, provisions must come first.

Fighting a war in this era was no simple matter. The mobilization of personnel, the supporting logistics, and civilian laborers were not just small numbers.

To move out with an army of ten thousand, at least five thousand civilian laborers must be deployed for logistics support in order to operate normally.

And so.

On a broken stone official road, an endless line of armored soldiers formed a long dragon, moving forward at a slow pace.

"General Wen, the logistics are in place, we can speed up now."

"Hahaha- Good, that's great."

General Wen laughed heartily, and then ordered, "Flag Soldiers, listen up! All soldiers, move at full speed!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Flag Soldier responded, and immediately waved the flag in his hand according to a certain pattern, conveying the orders of his general.

In an instant.

The flag soldiers scattered throughout the formation waved their flags one after another, continuing to convey the orders down the line.

In an age without communication… they could only rely on flag signals… beacon fires… and the like to convey information from above.

Here.

Above a grand and majestic city, countless armored soldiers with spears guarded it. The name of this city was Sha City.

Sha City was a new city established after the founding of Black Wind Country. It was rumored that there used to be a Yellow Sand Spirit haunting this place before being exterminated by an immortal, hence the name Sha City.

"Report… The enemy has set up camp ten miles outside the city."

"Scout again."

Gentleman Bai She waved his hand, issuing orders with a cold and stern expression.

As the first stop for the Black Wind Country, he took it very seriously and came to the frontline of the battlefield with the Array Disk he obtained from Sir.

About four hours after the enemy set up camp…a massive army appeared, dense and black, heading towards Sha City.

The enemy…is here!

At this moment.

The city's defenders were on high alert, while the attacking enemy soldiers outside were filled with bloodlust. The two armies confronted each other, charged with a killing aura.

To ordinary people, it only seemed that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive after the confrontation between the two armies.

However.

In the eyes of Gentleman Bai She, who had been cultivating, a different scene was unfolding.

Dragons!

There were two illusory Dragons of Slaughter with scarlet eyes hovering above both sides.

The power of Human Path Destiny…has manifested.

"This is truly terrifying."

Feeling the pressure that was coming head-on.

Gentleman Bai She's pupils suddenly contracted, as he thought to himself… No wonder there's a saying circulated in the Three Realms: "When empires battle, immortals don't intervene!"

He had a feeling that if he dared to directly slaughter the enemy soldiers in this war, he would probably be strangled to death by the manifested Destiny Slaying Dragon in no time.

Right now, it's just a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, and the manifested Destiny Slaying Dragon already possesses such power. If it were a battlefield of millions or even tens of millions, even the most powerful beings in the Three Realms would not want to face it.

This is also why the Merit Holy Body of Xuanqing is a constitution even the Western Tathagata, who presides over the world, admires but cannot possess.

Of course, these were aside from the main topic.

Looking back to the battlefield.

At this moment.

The soldiers of the enemy country outside the city surged, and some had pushed carts, siege weapons, or held ladders, charging toward Sha City while shouting slogans.

"Attack the city!

"Reward the first one to reach the city wall with 10,000 gold coins and the title of Marquis!"

On the other side.

Black Wind Mountain.

A Taoist sitting cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something.

"Hoo~"

Xuanqing stood up and looked at the Luck Jade Seal floating in the air!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: The Miracle Appears!!

Translator: 549690339

Only to see the Luck Jade Seal suspending in the air, the national luck contained within it stirred the calm water like a giant object, creating huge fluctuations.

Through the Luck Jade Seal.

Indistinctly.

His eyes seemed to see a picture, in which a black and a red light group were constantly intertwining and devouring each other.

Each time they entwined, the black light group would grow larger, and the national luck of the Black Wind Country would also increase accordingly.

Upon seeing this scene,

He realized that the black light group in the Luck Jade Seal represented Black Wind Country, and the red light group represented the enemy.

The drastic fluctuations of national luck in the Luck Jade Seal could not continue to nourish the God Soul until the war stopped.

Xuanqing's eyes looked towards the direction of Sha City, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate the distant distance and see the fierce battle on the battlefield.

After some thought,

"I shall go and see this first battle belonging to the Black Wind Country!" Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.

With a thought,

A lucky cloud emerged beneath his feet, carrying him towards the direction of Sha City.

Meanwhile,

On the battlefield of Sha City,

After numerous rounds of attacks, the Wusi Tibetan side had left nothing but corpses, and the siege had made no progress at all.

Morale gradually declined.

Until the shout of 'Seal a Noble, Reward Ten Thousand Tael of Gold' became useless, no matter how the supervision team drove them, they could not make the soldiers move forward.

Seeing this,

General Wen of Wusi Tibetan Kingdom frowned, knowing that the siege could not continue, otherwise, there would be a risk of soldier mutiny due to heavy casualties.

Retreat!

With an order,

Countless soldiers felt a sudden relief in their hearts, finally not having to advance to their deaths.

However,

Just when they retreated and no longer continued the siege, they found to their surprise that the huge gate of Sha City… had opened.

The gate… had opened by itself.

Countless black-armored soldiers with long spears in hand, marching in perfect unison, chased after retreating Wusi Tibetan soldiers.

The enemy had gone through several rounds of siege and had depleted both their momentum and physical strength. In contrast, Black Wind Country, relying on the advantage of the city, had not consumed much.

Under such circumstances,

The distance between the two armies rapidly closed.

Seeing this,

General Wen of Wusi Tibetan, realizing that retreat was impossible, turned around and ordered his soldiers to fight back.

In an instant,

The two great armies clashed like a mountain torrent, as if thunder roared through the valley and waves rushed against the mountains.

Just in an instant, the soldiers of Wusi Tibetan Kingdom understood what was meant by tacit understanding and combat power.

Decisive defeat,

Defeat more quickly than besiegement.

Soldiers collapsing like a landslide, the defeated Wusi Tibetan soldiers, confronted with the deterrence of the supervision team, turned against them with the weapons in hand.

"Surrender and you won't be killed!"

"Surrender and you won't be killed!"

Hearing the voices around, the soldiers of Wusi Tibetan Kingdom dropped their weapons without hesitation, and lay down on the ground, curling up and holding the back of their heads.

All over the battlefield,

Most people chose to surrender, with only a small portion still stubbornly resisting, namely General Wen of Wusi Tibetan Kingdom and his personal guard.

Finally,

With the death of the last personal guard beside him, countless long spears pierced through his body, making him feel extremely cold-hearted.

The only people left standing on the battlefield were the soldiers of the Black Wind Country.

Victorious.

"Wind!

Someone shouted the slogan of Black Wind Country.

In an instant,

"Wind!

"Wind!

Tens of thousands of Black Wind Country soldiers, waving their weapons in hand, had fanatical expressions on their faces as they shouted the unified slogan.

This momentum made the soldiers, who were cowering on the ground in surrender, shiver in fear, their eyes filled with deep dread.

After the victory.

Naturally, it was time for them to return to the capital.

Sha City.

Both sides of the road were packed with civilians.

Facing these soldiers who had triumphed and protected their homes, their faces were filled with longing.

Cheers and songs of praise filled their ears.

Step…step, step!

Black Wind Country soldiers marched in neat steps, their faces filled with pride, enjoying this moment of honor.

Some soldiers displayed sadness on their faces. They were either injured in battle and disabled, or they lost their daily companions and brothers in arms. There were no wars without casualties.

"Alas, my leg is crippled, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fight with my brothers anymore."

"Don't mention it, that damned enemy chopped off my hand."

Some injured and disabled soldiers, lying on stretchers, had despairing expressions on their faces as they quietly chatted with their companions beside them.

At this moment.

Suddenly.

Fine, feathery rain began to fall from the sky.

The raindrops fell on the soldiers, a slight chill surging through their hearts.

Then a miracle happened.

The injured soldiers visibly began to heal at an astonishing speed, returning to their uninjured state.

Those with severed hands and feet, along with the growing flesh at the wound, as well as the lingering itch, surprisingly developed new flesh and regrew an arm or leg.

A miracle… a miracle had occurred.

Everyone was shocked, rooted to the spot.

Before they could recover, they heard a mighty sound seeming to come from all directions and above the nine heavens.

"For those who died in battle, build war monuments and record their achievements, becoming immortal ghosts for eternity!"

The soldiers instinctively looked up and saw an awe-inspiring god-man on a lucky cloud, too otherworldly to stare at directly.

Divine power, protect all living beings!

After a long while.

Only when the lucky cloud in the sky dissipated, the soldiers seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly knelt down, their expressions extremely fervent.

"Black Wind Sacred Mountain, protect our troops and people, long live, long live, long live!"

"Black Wind Sacred Mountain, protect our troops and people, long live, long live, long live!"

"Black Wind Sacred Mountain, protect our troops and people, long live, long live, long live!"

The unified slogan echoed again. Not only the soldiers but also the people in Sha City knelt at this moment, thanking for the miracle's arrival.

The miracle just now… and the divine words that followed made them realize that under the protection of the gods, they don't need to worry about injuries or disabilities, and even after death, they would have a place to go.

At this moment.

In the hearts of these soldiers, they even felt a bit envious of those who had sacrificed themselves, becoming immortal ghosts, free from the suffering of reincarnation.

As for those prisoners with shackles on their feet, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, as the fate of different people was truly different.

Black Wind Mountain.

A lucky cloud floated past.

Xuanqing descended from the sky and returned to the Taoist temple.

What had just happened was, of course, his doing. For these soldiers who fought for Black Wind Country and his Tao, he was not stingy at all.

With the burning of tens of thousands of incense, he created this miracle.

Moreover.

After observing this battle, he also found the shortcomings of the Black Wind Country soldiers: their equipment was too poor.

About this.

Xuanqing had an idea in his heart..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Establishing an Overseas Production Base!

Translator: 549690339

Nowadays, the Black Wind Country can be said to have grown so strong by relying on real-world agricultural technology.

So.

Facing the problem of poor equipment in the Black Wind Country army, the first thing he thought of was to return to the real world, using the powerful industrial capabilities of the real world to produce a batch of alloy armor, weapons, and so on.

Of course.

Maybe someone would say, why not take hot weapons instead, wouldn't it be easy to conquer the world?

In fact.

Xuanqing initially thought so and even planned to become Gatling of Namu Bodhisattva.

Even.

For this, he once experimented and brought back some firearms from a hot-weapon club to the Journey to the West World. However, the result was disappointing.

Hot weapons brought to the Journey to the West World had greatly weakened power due to different Heaven and Earth rules, and their lethality couldn't even compete with ordinary bows and arrows.

However.

Even without cheating items like hot weapons, relying on the powerful industrial system in the real world can easily develop and strengthen the Black Wind Country.

"Besides armor and equipment…maybe…some medicine should be prepared."

Xuanqing pondered slightly.

Suddenly.

An idea flashed in his mind, and he fiercely slapped his thigh.

"Medicine…what medicine to bring, the divine power techniques in the Game World, jade talismans, and elixirs…healing injuries and regenerating severed limbs are all too easy."

To his knowledge.

Thousands of years before the end of the Wude era, in the Central Plains of China, it was still the end of the Han Dynasty.

There was a formidable Human Race who was trying to use the National Luck of the dynasty to create a new Dao Court.

And that person was best at using various talisman powers and even developed talisman water specifically for mortals, which had a very low cost and excellent value.

As for the final result… it was a tragic end of soul scattering and true spirit annihilation because of the backlash of National Luck.

This point… is somewhat similar to the history of the Real Three Kingdoms, but there are some differences. After all, one is a myth and the other is the real world.

In fact.

In Taoism, many Taoists who practice by borrowing the power of dynastic Qi Luck are Daoist Immortal Officers.

This is why the status of the 'Dao Immortal Officer' is so high because they have the ability to exert influence on dynasty Qi Luck.

In other words.

Daoist officials who practiced in the dynasty could use their influence to increase incense for the gods they favored.

Of course.

These are off-topic. Let's not mention them for now.

• •

"I'll exit the game first, create a batch of alloy armor, then research talismans for mortals to heal."

"And… researching jade talismans for mortals might take a long time to activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom. I'll need a lot of incense, so it's time to harvest."

Xuanqing's eyes gleamed.

That Human Race expert died without fulfilling his Dao Court ambition, but Xuanqing possessed the Chaos Morality Holy Body. He was impervious to karma and catastrophe and didn't worry about National Luck backlash.

Thinking so, he made up his mind.

Then.

He took out the Luck Jade Seal, and his divine spirit emerged from his body, attaching it to the Luck Jade Seal. Only by exiting the game in this state could hang-up cultivation be activated.

"Exit Game"

Real World.

Qingping Temple.

It's been more than two months in the Game World, but in the real world, it's just one week.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

First of all, he started the hang-up cultivation status, and then sent a message to Huai Qingyun with his Immortal Official Record to replace the Gathering Qi Bead.

He also called Yang Ying to visit Qingping Temple.

moments later.

Yang Ying arrived at Qingping Temple by helicopter first.

"Greetings, temple master!"

"Mm."

Xuanqing nodded slightly, then asked, "How's the story game workshop coming along?"

"Master, we have recruited a top writer, two psychology professors and a sociology professor."

"And according to the information about the feudal dynasty you provided last time, the top writer is leading the research, collecting data from the Internet, with suggestions from the three professors, we've written an elementary version of 'On the Development of Divine Feudal Dynasty.'"

Such effective action couldn't help but surprise people.

You should know.

It's been less than two weeks since Xuanqing asked Yang Ying to set up the workshop last time.

Xuanqing was curious and asked:

"Not only have you hired people, but you've also achieved something in such a short time?"

Upon hearing this.

Yang Ying smiled and immediately explained, "With money, anything is possible. That top writer even stopped updating his novels, and the other professors also quit their jobs at their respective schools."

"They've been doing nothing but collecting data and studying the divine feudal dynasty background you've given for some time now. They've been working day and night for these few days."

As soon as this was mentioned.

Xuanqing suddenly understood.

That was true; if you had enough money, you could even make ghosts work for you.

"First send me the electronic version, then make a paper copy and print it like the books I asked you to print before. Use traditional calligraphy for the font…" "Yes, temple master!" Yang Ying replied.

"And try to create two hundred thousand sets of fully enclosed heavy ancient armor, five hundred thousand sets of light battle armor, and one million long spears within a month."

"Whether you place orders at home or abroad, or acquire large machinery factories, it's up to you."

???

• •

Yang Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled the words the temple master spoke last time.

Creating so many ancient equipment is probably for the use of the ancient society dynasty in that little world.

Although she didn't understand why he didn't get hot weapons from other countries, but chose to get cold weapons, there must be a reason for her temple master to do so.

"Alright, temple master, I understand!"

Yang Ying nodded and suggested, "Temple master, you might need various materials in the future, why not establish a base overseas? It's always a bit inconvenient in the mainland!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Xuanqing fell into thought.

In his conception, the early development of Black Wind Country would mainly rely on the power of modern industrialization in the real world.

Both Changling City and Jiang City are inland cities, and they are indeed a bit inconvenient.

Xuanqing looked at Yang Ying.

"Yang Ying, if I asked you to go overseas and establish a non-profit industrial system, could you do it?"

He stopped for a moment and thought about it. Then he added, "By the way, since overseas can be quite dangerous, I can grant you extraordinary powers that won't be affected by guns.."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: With so many incenses, how can they all be used up?

Translator: 549690339

Extraordinary power?

Yang Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.

She couldn't help recalling her palace lord's various miraculous abilities, as well as the powers shown by Elder Jingde in her mind.

"I… I am willing!" her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner unrest.

As her words fell,

a pair of immaculate hands like warm jade touched her head, their warmth making her cheeks slightly flushed.

However,

before she could think more, she felt an indescribable force pouring down from the top of her head like a waterfall, rushing straight down.

"Ah~" Yang Ying's eyes trembled slightly, unable to suppress a soft moan.

"Focus your mind and carefully experience the mystery at your Dantian."

Xuanqing scolded in a low voice.

Then,

he took out a ginseng fruit from his game backpack, and sealed the energy of the fruit, leaving only a small opening, allowing it to release its energy at an extremely slow speed.

"Alright, take some time to understand it."

"Thank you… Palace Lord!"

Yang Ying suppressed her excitement, made a hand seal, and raised it above her head as she bowed in gratitude to the palace lord. She had learned it from some Taoist disciples.

Seeing this,

"Hehe~"

Xuanqing chuckled lightly, giving her an approving look, and then instructed her, "Press your right ring finger down a bit, and completely close both of your thumbs!"

"Ah… Oh, I understand."

Yang Ying quickly adjusted her hand seal.

Next,

like Elder Jingde, Yang Ying, who had just acquired extraordinary power, was eager to control the mana in her body and experience various basic mana enhancements.

However, after all, she was different from those Taoists who had practiced breathing and health-preserving techniques from a young age, so she was not able to control the mana in her body as she wished.

"Ah ya~"

Yang Ying held her breath, her face turning red, but she only managed to move the mana in her Dantian slightly.

Seeing this,

Xuanqing shook his head, extended his finger, and flicked it against Yang Ying's forehead.

Bo-

In an instant,

Yang Ying felt a stream of knowledge pouring into her mind, mainly about the application of mana and a Light Body Art Seal, which seemed to be called something like… Cloud Stepping Travel.

"Alright, go and practice on your own, as for the matters of the overseas base, you can handle them yourself." Xuanqing waved his hand.

"Hoo~"

Yang Ying took a deep breath, nodded her head and said, "Yes, Palace Lord, then I'll take my leave."

As she turned to leave,

Suddenly,

the ground wriggled, and a tiny Taoist boy slowly emerged from the ground.

"Huh… Sister Yang Ying?"

The person who had just arrived was Huai Qingyun, who had just replaced his Gathering Qi Bead. He was somewhat surprised and didn't expect to bump into her so coincidentally.

However,

"Qingyun??"

Yang Ying was even more astonished.

This was the first time she had seen Huai Qingyun coming out of the ground, and combined with what Sir had said about Qingyun not being human, could he be a loach spirit?

Although she was very curious about Huai Qingyun and wanted to chat with him, she knew she still had a mission to complete.

"Huai Qingyun, come to see your sister when you have time, ha, I still have a mission to do, bye-" Yang Ying pursed her lips and smiled, bidding him farewell.

"Oh~"

Huai Qingyun tilted his head, and responded softly, then entered the room.

Upon entering the room,

he saw his master, and quickly bowed in respect.

"Qingyun pays his respects to Sir."

After speaking.

Huai Qingyun removed the Sumeru Bag from his waist, "Sir, here- the Gathering Qi Beads have all been replaced."

"You've worked hard, Qingyun!"

Xuanqing took the Sumeru Bag and patted the other's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"It's not hard work, I'm happy to help Sir," Huai Qingyun quickly waved his hand and then said.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

",

Go ahead!

After sending Yang Ying and Huai Qingyun away.

In the room.

Only Xuanqing was left alone.

He looked at the Sumeru Bag in his hand, looking forward to how much incense he could harvest.

"Recharge!"

[Ding! 21915005 Ingots]

"Tsk tsk, over 21.9 million ingots, not bad, not bad!"

Xuanqing's mouth curved slightly upward, and he was overjoyed in his heart.

As expected.

As long as he did a good job in farming, the subsequent harvest would be like a snowball, only getting bigger and bigger.

"It's been seventy days since the last harvest of incense, which means an average of 310,000 per day."

"Compared to before, the daily harvest has increased by more than 40,000. The expansion and opening of new Taoist temples haven't been that fast, it seems that the publicity has played a role."

As for this.

Xuanqing was very satisfied with the situation. As long as he continued to work steadily, the future harvest would be even greater.

He thought of something.

"Open Character Panel!"

[Name: Xuanqing

[Physique: Chaos Virtue Holy Body.

Looking at the number in the ingots column on the Character Panel.

"Over 22 million, it's simply too much to use up just for opening Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom."

"If it's used to speed up Great Immortal Zhenyuan's Ginseng Fruit Tree, it would be a bit of a waste, it doesn't make much sense

Xuanqing frowned slightly.

There is a saying, when money reaches a certain number, if you can't spend it, it's really a troublesome thing.

"It seems I need to find a treasure that can carry Heavenly Merit as soon as possible and upload it to the store to exchange these ingots for Heavenly Merit."

Heavenly Merits.

Not only can it be used to buy high-level items like 'Ginseng Fruit Tree' in the game store, but it also plays a huge role in cultivation.

Not to mention anything else.

When one reaches the Integration of Void Stage Late Stage, when they absorb the Five Qi in the chest and condense Chaoyuan Power, Heavenly Merit can help speed up cultivation.

Even… at the peak of the Integration of Void Stage, when breaking through to the Three Corpse Realm, it still has a certain effect and can increase the chance of killing a corpse to some extent.

This is just the effect on cultivation.

For refining Magic Treasure, refining Elixir, etc., adding a little Heavenly Merit can play a key role, greatly improving quality.

Even in the eyes of the Three Realms Great Power, Heavenly Merits are rare treasures.

Unfortunately, there is only one way for the creatures of the Three Realms to obtain Heavenly Merits, and that is to pass through the Quantity Tribulations brought down by the Heavenly Path.

Of course, this is a digression.

"Check the accumulated incense!" Xuanqing muttered silently.

[Ding- Your current accumulated incense: 32.56 million…]

"I'm a standard fifth rank Daoist Immortal Official, and I need 50 million to be promoted to secondary fourth rank. There's still just less than 18 million left for a promotion.."

Translator: 549690339

That's why the promotion of Immortal Officials is important.

It's because, in the Game World, according to the Heavenly Court's rules, for ranks below the fifth-rank Immortal Register, due to their immense numbers, they are conferred by the Heavenly Court's Household Register Department.

Once an Immortal Official is promoted from 'Standard Fifth Rank' to 'Secondary Fourth-Rank,' they need to go to the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Bao Hall, where the Jade Emperor personally appoints them.

In simple terms,

Immortal officials below the secondary fourth rank are unimportant to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Path rules are enough to govern them. It is only when they reach the secondary fourth rank that they are given importance.

"When I go to the Lingxiao Bao Hall for the conferment of the secondary fourth rank, I'll also visit Douluo Palace to ask the Ancestor Master what kind of object can carry the Heavenly Merit."

Xuanqing secretly made plans in his heart.

As for the 18 million incense required for the promotion, with his current accumulation rate of 310,000 per day, it would take no more than two months at most.

Even if the Taoist operations continue to improve and more Taoist temples are opened, the time required will continue to shorten.

So,

the matter of converting Ingots into Heavenly Merit can be considered after the Immortal Official's promotion, and there is no need to think too much about it for now.

What he wants to do now is to develop Black Wind Country, as originally planned.

With this thought in mind,

Xuanqing took out his phone and opened an email sent by Yang Ying.

The email's title:

"On the Development of Divine Feudal Dynasty"

After opening the email, the content appeared before his eyes, listing many methods. The first method made him both laugh and cry.

"Military rule with divine authority…and modern hot weapons…"

Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh.

He quickly skipped the first point because hot weapons have no power in the Game World.

He also didn't know why this was, perhaps it was related to Spiritual Qi or the rules of Heaven and Earth in both worlds.

"Enhance soldiers' faith and combat will, and add a specialized group for ideological work in the army…extract militia training…"

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

He had already adapted the three top online time-traveling novels into translations and gave them to Gentleman Bai She. He even personally guided the latter for several days.

Continuing to read further,

Xuanqing found that the content of "On the Development of a Divine Feudal Dynasty" was already very comprehensive, mainly incorporating aspects such as commerce, religious divine power, military, and other aspects into one book.

It includes public content from the Internet, private content from universities, the imagination of an expert of online novels, and the opinions of several professors and experts.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

As the ancient saying goes, three cobblers can surpass a Zhuge Liang, and among three people, there is bound to be a teacher. Although he could think on his own, it would require a lot more effort. Now, all he had to do was spend some worldly money, which was useless to him.

He closed the book "On the Development of a Divine Feudal Dynasty" and put it in his Game Backpack.

"Next, create a Talisman with high cost-effectiveness for mortals to heal wounds and diseases in the Talisman path!"

Xuanqing muttered softly to himself.

He could not and has no energy to perform miracles for the common people every time. However, he didn't want the people of his domain to suffer from illness and pain.

He could not manage other places but had to take care of the people within his territory who believed in him.

With a thought,

"Activate Ten Days of Absolute Knowledge Discarding Wisdom!"

[Ding! -864,000 Ingots]

With the deduction of Ingots, he entered the state of transcendent comprehension, and his insight reached its limit.

"The path of Talismans contains the profound principles of Heaven and Earth. I'm afraid I'll have to start with Yin-Yang Five Elements…"

Under the state of Absolute Knowledge Discarding Wisdom,

storms of intelligence raged in Xuanqing's mind.

While Xuanqing was researching the path of Talismans in the Real World using the Absolute Knowledge Discarding Wisdom,

On the other side.

In the Game World, an unusual event occurred.

Wusi Tibetan Kingdom.

In the court.

The old king sat high on the Dragon Throne, his face full of worry different from his previous confidence.

"Our soldiers of Wusi Tibetan have attacked the Sand City of Black Wind Country numerous times but have been blocked by the multicolored light barrier each time."

"My beloved ministers, do any of you have a solution?"

The king's voice echoed throughout the main hall.

Below.

Upon hearing their king's question,

the ministers on both sides of the main hall kept their heads down, silent and introspective.

What could they do?

Although the Black Wind Country is weak, it has the aid of gods, and they are merely mortals. How could they be the opponents of gods?

"Incompetents! You arc all so eager for benefits but silent when problems arise!"

Slap ~

With a furious expression, the King of Wusi Tibetan waved his sleeve and swept down the water cup and lamp on the table.

Clang ~ Ding ~

The lamp and water cup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, eventually rolling to the feet of an official with eight purple patterns on his hat, startling him.

At this moment.

A booming voice came from outside the hall.

"Amitabha… Your Majesty, don't be angry. This humble monk has a way to break the multicolored barrier."

Before they could see the person, they heard his voice.

The next moment.

Two ragged monks with exposed upper bodies walked into the main hall at a leisurely pace.

Seeing this scene.

Both the king and all the ministers were dumbfounded for a while.

Where did these insane monks come from on this sacred court ground, and how could they dare to claim they could break the divine methods of the Black Wind Country?

Immediately.

A general in charge of the guards became furious.

"Where did these filthy monks come from, daring to spout nonsense on this sacred court ground? Where are the guards responsible for this place? Hurry up and throw these filthy monks out!"

The doorkeeping guards outside the palace turned pale with fright, almost wetting their pants. They hurriedly entered the main hall, trying to take the two crazy monks away.

At this point.

"Wait!"

A voice came from the high platform of the Dragon Throne.

With an expressionless face, the King of Wusi Tibetan stared at the two monks and asked sternly:

"You said you could break the evil magic of Black Wind Country. Do you have any proof?"

Evil magic?

The two half-naked monks glanced at each other and laughed.

"Your Majesty, it's not evil magic but a formation! As for whether this humble monk has the ability to break the formation…"

His words paused just then and his mouth slightly curved up. Then…

In the blink of an eye…

One of the monks transformed into a Buddhist Arhat, with golden light shining on his body, reflecting onto the eyes of everyone in the main hall, exceptionally dazzling.

????

The old king was baffled.

Why didn't you just say you were an expert before? Why did you have to pretend to be a beggar monk first?

If there were any transmigrators present, they would undoubtedly tell him: this was the act of playing the fool to catch the wise!

Translator: 549690339

"I am Arhat Fuhu from the Buddhist Shimen!

"I am Arhat Moke Jiedi from the Buddhist Shimen!"

Their voices rang like church bells, bouncing off the walls of the main hall as if they had special effects.

The two lunatic monks had vanished, having transformed into two holy-looking, golden-clad venerable luohans.

Upon seeing this scene,

The people in the court seemed to awaken from a dream.

"So it's the venerable luohans from the Shimen, come… make seats for them quickly!" The king stood up in shock and hurriedly called out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Arhat Fuhu and Moke Jiedi did not hesitate. Instantly, they teleported to the king's side.

"Haha, it is my honor to have you two in the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan." The king laughed with his mouth wide open, then courteously exchanged greetings before continuing, "May I ask about the method to break the array you mentioned earlier…?"

"Don't worry, Majesty. We monks can easily break the array, but looking at the few temples in Wusi Tibetan, why don't we just…?"

And so,

Arhat Fuhu discussed with the King of Wusi Tibetan how to break the array and what price they needed to pay in the court.

On the other side of the Game World,

Black Wind Country.

In the Imperial Study Room.

Clad in a black dragon robe, an elegant young king perused through piles of documents as tall as half a person.

After a while,

White Snake Young Lord rubbed his temple and put down the documents.

He didn't know why,

But he felt something was wrong today, as though his entire being was languishing. At first, he thought there was a problem with his practice, but after checking, he found nothing wrong.

Just as he wondered what was going on,

Suddenly,

A voice of announcement came from outside the door!

"Reporting to the king, urgent news from 800 li away!"

Urgent news from 800 li away?

Upon hearing these words,

White Snake Young Lord's heart skipped a beat.

Having been a king for so many years, he was no longer naive and understood the meaning of "urgent news from 800 li away."

The next moment,

An errand soldier rushed in, kneeling on one knee with a frightened expression on his face.

"Your Majesty… it's terrible, a big disaster is looming." The soldier gasped heavily, and after recovering slightly, continued, "The enemy kingdom of Wusi Tibetan is invading Sha City again. General Yang had no choice but to activate the Five Elements Array, but… but two golden figures appeared and shook the array with a single punch, almost making it collapse… I'm afraid… Sha City is going to fall!"

When these words were spoken,

White Snake Young Lord sprang to his feet.

The news implied that the array Sir had bestowed upon Sha City was about to be destroyed by two golden figures, sending waves of shock and fear through him.

Without paying any attention to the soldier on the ground,

With a wave of his hand,

A gust of wind intermingling with lucky clouds brushed past.

When the kneeling soldier looked up, his king had already vanished.

Black Wind Mountain.

A cave mansion halfway up the mountain.

The black bear essence was lounging leisurely, with a goblet of honey wine in hand, sipping slowly.

Ever since Black Wind Mountain became a cave heaven and blessed land, he seldom descended unless it was necessary.

In such an idyllic atmosphere,

Suddenly,

A gentle breeze wafted by.

"Little Brother Bai She… you?"

Before he could react, he was being pulled away by the White Snake Young Lord, flying in a certain direction.

Seeing the anxious expression on the White Snake Young Lord's face, the black bear essence knew there must be something significant happening. Thus, he gave no resistance and even assisted with accelerating.

"Big brother, it's not good! The Wusi Tibetan Kingdom is invading, and Sha City is about to be breached!"

"Ah…what about Sir's bestowed…"

"The formation is broken too, they said two little golden men came, I'm guessing it's those people from the Shimen causing trouble."

"It's those damn Shimen guys again, watch me, Old Black, crack their heads!" said the Black Bear Essence, grinding his teeth. He was a bear that held grudges, and he hadn't forgotten what happened in the past.

The two talked as they flew towards Sha City.

A moment later.

They arrived at Sha City.

On the spot, they found two monks radiating golden light, punching the golden shield of Sha City one after another, and the shield had already cracked.

At a glance.

They recognized the two monks with golden light. One of them was an old acquaintance, Mo Ke Jiedi, whom they had crossed paths with before.

Seeing such a scene

enraged both demons, who immediately charged forward.

"Hey, you two monks, how dare you interfere in the mortal world! Wait for me to clean you up, tie you up and send you to the Heavenly Court for punishment!"

The Black Bear Essence roared, his body suddenly enlarged, and his bear paws emitted a terrifying aura.

On the side.

Gentleman Bai She remained expressionless, not saying a word as he charged forward. The Emperor's Qi that he had cultivated was surging out of him, reinforcing his physical body.

As they faced the two demons charging at them.

Mo Ke Jiedi and Fuhu Luohan just smiled weirdly, not knowing what they thought in their hearts.

"Go!"

A silver pillar appeared in Mo Ke Jiedi's hand and headed straight for Gentleman Bai She, trying to trap him.

Fuhu Luohan wasn't idle either.

Fuhu Golden Body!

Radiating golden light, Fuhu Luohan transformed into an indestructible Vajra body, even his eyebrows turned golden.

"Take a palm from your bear grandfather!"

At that instant.

Both collided.

Brute force clashed with brute force. Both the Black Bear Essence and Fuhu

Luohan were experts in physical combat. When they collided, the force they generated made space tremble.

With a punch and a kick, the sound of air explosions filled the ears.

For a time.

Black Bear Essence and Fuhu Luohan were evenly matched.

Compared to the evenly matched battle there.

Gentleman Bai She was having a hard time.

Mo Ke Jiedi's thrown pearl transformed into a Nanming Fire Golden Light Shield, which trapped Gentleman Bai She inside.

"Hehe, little green snake, you have the Emperor's Qi, I won't hurt you, but… you just stay in there!"

Mo Ke Jiedi grinned and joined his hands together in a slight bow.

Immediately after.

He flashed golden light, using the Shimen's Golden Body technique, ignoring Gentleman Bai She, and continued to attack the formation protecting Sha City.

Boom-

Thunderous rumbling-

Finally.

The shield in the sky above Sha City cracked more and more, and in the end, it exploded like a spider web.

It's broken…the formation shield is shattered.

Seeing this scene.

Gentleman Bai She, who was trapped in the Nanming Fire Golden Light Shield, couldn't help but fume with anger. After roaring, he went mad and rammed his head against the shield.

"No…Sir won't let you off." Gentleman Bai She's mouth corner overflowed with a trace of blood, his breath wilting.

Next to him.

Black Bear Essence's heart sank, knowing that the other party was well-prepared, and perhaps only Sir could break through this situation.

He clenched his teeth.

"Little Brother Bai She, I'll help you, you go find Sir!"

As soon as the words fell.

He endured Fuhu Luohan's punches and temporarily withdrew from the battle. He used all his strength to shatter the shield that trapped Gentleman Bai She with one blow.

"Go quickly!" Black Bear Essence roared, his body transformed into hundreds of feet, followed by a roar to the sky: "I dominate the world!"

Translator: 549690339

Here.

Real World.

In the back mountain of Qingping Temple, a Taoist sat cross-legged, surrounded by numerous glowing runes, mysterious and unparalleled.

"Hoo~"

Xuanqing opened his eyes, his expression tinged with a hint of fatigue.

Using the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom continuously took a heavy toll on his God Soul, which had not yet condensed a Divine's flower.

"A month and a half… a full month and a half has finally enabled me to comprehend this set of talismans with the highest cost-effectiveness for mortals."

As the thought crossed his mind.

A blank jade plaque floated in the air.

"Coagulation Jade Charm!"

Xuanqing's fingertips acted as a brush, his strokes as flowing as a dragon. With just a finger, he engraved the blank jade talisman, causing shards to fly off.

In no time at all.

A jade talisman emitting a gentle aura was successfully crafted.

"Upload to the Mall!"

[Product uploading…5%..56/o…99o/o…100%!]

[Beep- Congratulations, upload successful, Mall increment: Coagulation Jade

This low-level jade charm used for mortals was promptly uploaded, the progress bar filled instantly, and uploading was successful.

"View!

"Each jade charm can be used about twenty times before it is recharged by the surrounding spiritual energy in about one or two days!"

Xuanqing tested the effect of the jade charm.

Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.

While this Coagulation Jade Charm was no match for the spell he cast himself, it had the advantage of being convenient and quick, and could be purchased in bulk from the store.

After successfully uploading this Coagulation Jade Charm, he didn't stop his work. Instead, he took out another blank jade charm.

"Continue!

Xuanqing's eyes shone with brilliance.

He had spent more than forty days not only researching one type of highly cost-effective talisman but also developing a whole set for healing and curing diseases.

"Exorcism Jade Charm… Upload!"

[Product uploading…6%….99%…ioo%!]

[Beep- Congratulations, upload successful, Mall increment: Plague Dispelling

[Plague Dispelling Jade Talisman: Reusable jade talisman for treating diseases. Once its energy is depleted, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to recharge.

"With this Plague Dispelling Jade Talisman, common illnesses like headaches, fever, and colds can be dealt with easily."

And so.

He crafted more than ten types of jade talismans in a row, all for daily use, and all could be recharged and reused conveniently and quickly.

The majority of these talismans only cost 20 Ingots after being uploaded to the mall. The most expensive one, used for Limb Regeneration, only cost 100 Ingots.

[Limb Regeneration Jade Talisman: Reusable jade talisman for limb regeneration. Once its energy is depleted, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to recharge.

Looking at so many kinds of jade talismans in the mall.

Xuanqing had an idea.

"With so many types of jade talismans, covering most ailments, I can use them to set up free medical clinics throughout Black Wind Country!"

"By village, each village will have a set of jade talismans; in towns, they will be distributed by the street."

"In this way… wouldn't the game world's Black Wind Country be the first to achieve universal healthcare?"

As he thought about it.

Xuanqing couldn't help but wear a strange expression on his face.

Indeed.

Both the real and game worlds had their merits. While the industrialized real world hadn't achieved universal healthcare, it could easily be done in the game world using just jade talismans and cultivation.

As Xuanqing was contemplating the matter of 'universal healthcare.'

Suddenly.

The appearance of a game notification broke his train of thought.

[Beep! There is an urgent message in the game, do you want to enter the game to handle it?]

[Beep! There is an urgent message in the game, do you want to enter the game to handle it?]

[Beep! There is an urgent message in the game, do you want to enter the game to handle it?]

Three consecutive notifications rang out.

"Urgent message?"

Xuanqing felt his heart tighten.

He had already informed Gentleman Bai She and Black Bear Essence that they should not contact him unless there was an emergency.

So… The appearance of this notification meant that something significant had happened in the Game World.

With this thought in mind.

Xuanqing didn't dare to delay and muttered in his heart.

"Enter the game!"

Game World.

In the Taoist temple on Black Wind Mountain.

After logging in, Xuanqing's God Soul returned to his physical body from the Luck Jade Seal.

"Eh… the national luck on the Luck Jade Seal has actually declined."

At the same time.

He saw Gentleman Bai She pacing anxiously outside the formation with a pale face.

Whoosh-

Xuanqing waved his right hand, lifting the formation.

Gentleman Bai She, who had been keeping an eye on the formation, hurriedly rushed forward and said angrily, "Sir… disaster has struck."

"I don't know how, but the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan has colluded with the

Shimen of Mo Ke Jiedi and Fuhu Luohan of Sha City…"

"My big brother Black Bear is being besieged by the two of them, and we have no idea about his situation now. Please save him, Sir!"

Gentleman Bai She's face was filled with sorrow as he quickly recounted the events.

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing's eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

What a Shimen, targeting him since he arrived in this world, and now using such despicable means.

"Let's go, follow me to Sha City!" Xuanqing coldly snorted, swinging the whisk in his hand at Gentleman Bai She and then using the Earth Leaping Golden Light to rush towards Sha City.

The Earth Leaping Golden Light, as an explosive traveling divine power in the "Tiangang Thirty-six Method", is many times faster than the ordinary cloud-rising in the air.

In a short while, they arrived near Sha City.

However.

The scene before his eyes ignited his anger to its limit.

Black Bear Essence was drenched in blood from head to toe, with several places showing exposed white bones, and his breath was extremely weak.

Whenever Black Bear Essence tried to escape, Fuhu Luohan would stop him and then Mo Ke Jiedi would torture him.

It was obvious.

The only reason Black Bear Essence hadn't perished was that the opponents wanted to play a cat and mouse game with him.

Upon seeing such a scene.

"Damn Bald Donkey!"

How could Xuanqing accept it?

The Qi Flower and Essence Flower bloomed together, and it wasn't over yet.

The Luck Jade Seal within his body had already been offered.

In an instant.

Xuanqing went all out directly.

Three of the most powerful forces were bestowed on the whisk, swinging it at Mo Ke Jiedi and Fuhu Luohan, who were still toying with Black Bear Essence.

On this side.

Mo Ke Jiedi and Fuhu Luohan hadn't even figured out what was going on, and were just enjoying toying with Black Bear Essence.

"Amitabha, Black Bear Donor, why hasn't your master arrived yet?" Fuhu Luohan clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion.

"You, a sinful creature who refused to guard the temple when you were asked

to… Let's see if your master can save you now. Hehehehe-"

Mo Ke Jiedi laughed even more mockingly, with undisguised disdain in his words.

In fact.

The reason they let Gentleman Bai She escape was to deliberately lure Daoist Xuanqing out.

Although they couldn't harm Daoist Xuanqing personally due to his profound background, making him witness his subordinate being tormented like this would still vent their anger. Moreover… if they could break his Dao heart with this, it would be even better.

In their impression.

Daoist Xuanqing was just a small piece of trash with a profound background but weak combat power. Now that they had the heaven-defying treasure granted by the Bodhisattva, they were not afraid of Daoist Xuanqing at all.

However.

The next moment.

A whisk turned into thousands of feet, carrying a huge power and a unique aura of cause and effect, appeared in front of them and got closer and closer..

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Turning Against?

Translator: 549690339

The huge duster was already sweeping in front of them when the two finally reacted.

It's not that they were not vigilant, but Xuanqing had the blessing of the Luck Jade Seal, and the rich aura of the Human Dao National Luck on his body matched that of Sha City's Luck. Moreover, they were too busy torturing the Black Bear Essence, so they didn't notice any of this.

Whoosh-

The duster swept over them, like a thousand knives cutting at once.

Mo Ke Jiedi had no strength to resist at all, and just took the hit head-on.

"Ah…"

The pain of countless heart-piercing wounds and millions of ants crawling on their bodies made Mo Ke Jiedi scream in agony, covering his face with both hands.

He had numerous small wounds all over his face, each wound very small, but densely packed.

What's even more terrifying is,

This strike contained the power of Human Path Destiny of Black Wind Country, which is not ordinary mana. So, not only was his physical body injured, he also suffered a certain amount of karmic backlash.

"My cultivation, my cultivation is declining… Fuhu Luohan… save me."

Mo Ke Jiedi wailed, rushing to Fuhu Luohan's side, his face filled with indescribable horror.

All of this,

Happened in just an instant.

Only after seeing the desperate Mo Ke Jiedi in front of him did Fuhu Luohan come to his senses.

Ignoring the Black Bear Essence on the side, he hurriedly mobilized the Buddha Power within his body and frantically channeled it into his companion, Mo Ke Jiedi.

In just a short while,

The causal power of this duster strike had directly reduced Mo Ke Jiedi from a Venerable with two relics to having just one relic.

It is worth mentioning that

Buddhism cultivators don't cultivate Three Flowers, but condense relics instead. A single relic is equivalent to the initial stage of a Golden Immortal, and three relics are equivalent to the realm of cultivating Three Flowers.

Of course, the realm is just the realm, and the true combat power of the Daoist cultivating Three Flowers is countless times stronger than a Buddhist with three relics.

After receiving the pure Buddha Power from Fuhu Luohan, Mo Ke Jiedi's cultivation finally stopped declining.

At this moment,

Mo Ke Jiedi's eyes were filled with hatred, completely devoid of the appearance of a Buddhist monk.

"Evil… Daoist Xuanqing is so evil that I almost lost my last relic."

Fuhu Luohan didn't speak, and frowned as he contemplated something.

On this side,

After swinging the duster, Xuanqing didn't care about Fuhu Luohan on the side and went to the Black Bear Essence instead.

"Black Bear… it's all right now!"

On the ground,

The dying Black Bear Essence heard Sir's voice, and when he saw Sir's figure, he finally relaxed.

His lips quivered, and his eyes welled with tears.

"Sir…" Black Bear Essence opened his mouth, and after calling out these two words, he could no longer hold on, and fainted.

Xuanqing helped him stand up and handed him over to Gentleman Bai She.

Afterward,

He looked at Mo Ke Jiedi, who was lying in Fuhu Luohan's arms, his gaze cold enough to make anyone shiver.

"What… do you want to do?"

Fuhu Luohan's heart sank, and he stuttered the question.

He felt incredibly bitter. He had really believed Mo Ke Jiedi, who said that Daoist Xuanqing's combat prowess was not that great, that the other party only had extensive connections, and that his cultivation was not high…

At this moment,

Hearing the words… "what do you want to do?"…

"Hehc!

Xuanqing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He didn't bother with these two bald donkeys and swung the whisk in his hand, with a sky-covering momentum, attacking Fuhu Luohan.

Whoosh-

The duster, containing the Essence Flower and Qi Flower, already possessed immense power, in addition to a layer of tenacious karmic power like maggots on a bone.

With this duster strike,

Immediately,

Fuhu Luohan's soul nearly escaped.

He threw Mo Ke Jiedi, who was in his arms, to the ground, bit off his own tongue to perform a secret Buddhist technique, forcibly broke through the space, and barely escaped the calamity.

He managed to dodge it, but his companion in his arms was not so fortunate.

At this moment.

Mo Ke Jiedi's pupils suddenly contracted, feeling as if the time between heaven and earth had slowed down.

That deadly duster, in his eyes… grew larger and larger, while his companion had already gone far away.

He could only watch helplessly as the duster approached him.

Slap-

The sound of the duster hitting the flesh was not loud, but it was very crisp.

"Ah…."

The agonizing scream was loud, echoing through heaven and earth, like a lingering sound resonating back and forth.

Mo Ke Jiedi's cultivation, like a reservoir during flood discharge, leaked crazily, and the last relic could not be saved.

Realm fell!

Seeing this scene.

Fuhu Luohan, who was beside him, was horrified, but also relieved that he had narrowly escaped just now; otherwise, the duster would have hit him.

Cannot fight… absolutely cannot fight…

Escape!

Fuhu Luohan had no thoughts of resistance and just wanted to flee this place and escape from this terrifying Taoist.

He couldn't help but think of Kong Xuan, once famous in the Primordial Age, who would inflict physical pain with just one brush, but would also take away cultivation.

"White Tiger Mount!"

Fuhu Luohan formed a hand seal, summoning a giant Dangling Eye White Tiger with a flash of golden light and leaped onto its back.

Roar-

The Dangling Eye White Tiger roared, and the bell around its neck rang 'dingling dangaling'. It turned into a golden light and quickly fled towards the West.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, naturally not wanting the other party to escape so easily.

"Qingxu, leave Mo Ke Jiedi to you to handle!"

Having said that.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts… Earth Leaping Golden Light!

With golden light on his feet, he chased after Fuhu Luohan. As for the dying Mo Ke Jiedi on the ground, he didn't need to worry about White Snake Lord handling it.

He pursued… he escaped… impossible to escape!

Although Earth Leaping Golden Light, as one of the 36 Heavenly Gangs' tracking powers, had poor endurance, it was extremely fast in short-distance flight.

However.

The Dangling Eye White Tiger under Fuhu Luohan's feet was also not slow.

As the saying goes, dragons move like clouds, tigers ride the wind. As one of the Four Sacred Beasts, the White Tiger was very good at controlling the wind.

They chased each other!

After a long time.

Xuanqing frowned, and a faint impulse to give up rose in his heart, because going further would be Buddhism's West Niu Hezhou.

Suddenly.

An unexpected occurrence happened.

The Dangling Eye White Tiger stopped abruptly with a leap, threw Fuhu Luohan off its back, and then turned around, rushing towards Xuanqing.

With such a change.

Fuhu Luohan stumbled in the air, barely stabilizing himself.

Here.

Seeing the White Tiger rushing towards him.

Xuanqing was also taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to give this

Dangling Eye White Tiger a duster… but then he realized something was wrong.

This Dangling Eye White Tiger… had no hostility in its eyes.

During this brief pause.

The Dangling Eye White Tiger had reached Xuanqing's back and gently rubbed its several-meter-long head against his body.

Huh?

Has it turned on its master?'

Translator: 549690339

This moment.

Venerable Fuhu was even more confused. He never expected that his White Tiger Mount would pull such a trick while he was running away.

It was just a moment's gap.

Xuanqing made his move.

"Bald donkey, die!"

Whisk in hand transformed into a sky full of willow strands, covering the entire space, and the bone-chilling National Destiny Power was even more terrifying for the cultivators.

"No…"

Fuhu Luohan roared, but no matter how loud the sound, he couldn't block the arrival of the whisk, which struck him directly in the face.

In an instant.

A tragic scene like Mo Ke Jiedi's, happened to Fuhu Luohan.

Flesh blurred, blood pouring, and even more terrifying, every wound contained the power of Black Wind Country's national destiny.

Cultivation… started to decline.

Fuhu Luohan's heart and soul shattered, not caring about escaping, and all the Buddha Power on his body poured into the wounds to suppress this strength.

However.

His situation was not good at this moment.

If he didn't care about the wounds on his body, then his cultivation would inevitably decline under the corrosive force of the National Destiny.

But if he uses the Buddha power to block it, it would delay him from escaping, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

How to choose between the two dilemmas?

"Daoist Xuanqing, don't push people too much, this monk will fight with you till the end!"

Fuhu Luohan's face was fierce.

Suddenly, his body burst out with an extremely dazzling golden light, and his whole body's momentum began to climb constantly, clearly seeming like he was preparing for a big move.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing slightly frowned.

Although he could resurrect infinitely, the feeling of death was not pleasant, he wasn't a masochist, it was natural to want to live.

However.

The next moment something unexpected happened.

Whoosh-

After Fuhu Luohan burst out with a huge fluctuation, he turned into a stream of light, and at a speed that broke through space, he fled towards the direction of West Niu Hezhou.

He escaped?

Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and could not help but mutter: "These bald donkeys are such great actors, I really thought they were going to fight to the death."

Moreover, the other party was carrying a declining cultivation, and using a secret method to escape.

At this speed, he was already faster than using Earth Leaping Golden Light, and as they approached West Niu Hezhou, there was no need to continue the pursuit.

Not caring about the fleeing Fuhu Luohan.

Xuanqing turned around and looked at the huge Dangling Eye White Tiger, his voice cold, "Why did you, White Tiger, betray Fuhu and hide behind me?"

To be honest.

He was quite curious in his heart, if it wasn't for this Dangling Eye White Tiger's betrayal at the critical moment, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with Fuhu Luohan.

"Meow-"

The Dangling Eye White Tiger lay down, its whole body quickly shrinking, eventually becoming the size of a small kitty.

"Meow- Meow!

It used its own claws to point at its neck, seemingly trying to express something.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing picked up the now kitty-sized Dangling Eye White Tiger and looked at its neck.

He saw a golden hoop about the thickness of a thumb around the kitty's neck, with dense Sanskrit runes carved on it.

Feeling it.

Xuanqing closed his eyes and sensed for a while.

"Restriction…Seal… Oh, this power… it turns out to be an Incense Fire Spiritual Treasure!"

With his knowledge in runes and formations, he naturally sensed the principle that this magic treasure, which trapped the Dangling Eye White Tiger, was operating on.

"Incense belief is born from mortals, so what the Incense Fire Spiritual Treasure fears most is naturally the power of Human Dao National Luck."

"No wonder you little tiger took the opportunity to betray and hide behind me."

Xuanqing smiled slightly.

Then.

Pinching the soft flesh on the back of the White Tiger's neck, he dangled it in front of him.

The kitty-sized Dangling Eye White Tiger was suddenly held in the air, its short limbs frantically clawing at the air as if trying to resist, but to no avail as it was pinched at its soft spot.

"Little guy, do you want to break the shackle around your neck?"

As these words were spoken.

The little kitty stopped moving, and then its small forehead furiously nodded, gasping for air with its mouth open.

"However, as a humble Taoist, I have no cause for helping you. In fact, you are the mount of Fuhu Luohan, with whom I share some grievances. So…why would I help you, then?"

Xuanqing's mouth slightly lifted as he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this.

The little kitty grew anxious.

"Meow meow-meow…"

Its limbs danced excitedly, and its mouth constantly smacked as if it wanted to say something, but it was tightly restrained by the golden hoop around its neck and could only make a meowing sound.

"Tsk, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, and then his face grew serious as he asked, "As a humble Taoist, I don't treat you as a pet mount like the Shimen does."

"Seeing that you and I share a fate, how about you become a protector Taoist child for this humble Taoist? I will release you from your misery and help you leave the Shimen. What do you think?"

Upon hearing these words.

Little White Tiger no longer struggled, and the entire tiger fell into deep thought.

Moments later.

Perhaps it saw the huge torments and humiliations it had gone through in Shimen, that even becoming a child seemed better to it than being a mount.

"Meow-"

Little White Tiger's eyes were crystal clear, and after letting out a soft coo, it nodded its head, expressing its willingness.

"Hahaha- Well, today I have gained another child, a great white one."

Xuanqing laughed heartily.

The next moment.

The Luck Jade Seal!

A jade seal with a powerful National Luck hovered in the air.

Feeling this aura.

The little White Tiger's eyes lit up, and it wanted to pounce on it, but it was caught by the neck in mid-air and had to keep clawing at the air with its limbs.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll draw out this National Destiny Power so as not to hurt you!"

Xuanqing shook the little White Tiger in his hand and reassured it with a gentle tone.

Then.

With a thought –

The hovering Luck Jade Seal began to spin, emitting its National Destiny Power. Under Xuanqing's control, it condensed into a conical phantom shape.

"Go!"

The National Destiny Power turned into a cone and pierced towards the golden hoop on the White Tiger's neck.

Zzzz-

The runes on this golden hoop, when they touched the cone formed by the National Destiny Power, seemed to melt like bubbles in contact with sulfuric acid, and they dissolved at an extremely fast speed.

In just a short moment.

It had all melted away.

"Meow…"

Finally regaining its freedom.

The little White Tiger cheered and jumped around excitedly, expressing its joy and happiness.

After cavorting for a while,

It suddenly remembered that its benefactor was still by its side, and it had to bow to him as its master.

However.

The word 'Sir'… it just couldn't bring itself to say it, and its face was filled with conflicted emotions.

After some thought,

"Um… Can I… Can I call you 'brother'?"

Little White Tiger transformed back into a kitty and snuggled into Xuanqing's arms, constantly rubbing and acting cute.

"Pfft~"

"Alright, alright, I'll accept that."

Xuanqing gently stroked the furry head, smiling and agreeing.

All cubs are cute, especially the fluffy ones.. When they act this adorable, even the mightiest men can't resist!

"Hehe- My name is Bai Ling'er, what's your name, big brother?"

Little White Tiger… no, Bai Ling'er laughed playfully, tilting her head to ask curiously.

She was not born long before she was caught by the Shimen, so she is extremely curious about many things in the outside world.

"I am Xuanqing!"

Xuanqing smiled, then asked, "Ling'er, I see that you also have a cultivation base of the Golden Immortal realm, why don't you transform into human form?"

Transform?

Bai Ling'er muttered, then said helplessly, "I am one of the White Tiger Clan of the Four Sacred Beasts. To transform, I need at least to be in the Taiyi realm."

"Sigh, I really envy the Dragon Clan, they can transform… easily as soon as they are born."

Hearing this,

Xuanqing nodded in understanding.

In this Game World, the more powerful the race, the harder it is to transform.

Although the Dragon Clan produced a powerful creature like the Ancestral Dragon, on average, they are still not as strong as the White Tiger Clan.

"Alright, you can follow me!"

Xuanqing called to Bai Ling'er, then released a gentle breeze and headed towards Sha City.

"Woo hoo~ Here I come…" Bai Ling'er leaped, riding the Gang Wind to catch up. Her speed was so fast that even Xuanqing's Earth Leaping Golden Light couldn't keep up.

Sha City.

Upon the towering city walls,

Young Lord Bai She kept his eyes on the Wusi Country soldiers who fearlessly charged at the city walls below.

At his feet lay Mo Ke Jiedi, like a puddle of mud, his vital energy so weak that one couldn't help but wonder if he would die the next moment.

"Your Majesty, I fear Sha City… cannot be defended!"

A stalwart man clad in armor, his face resolute, spoke gravely to Young Lord Bai She. He was General Yang, the defender of Sha City.

"Don't worry… Just go and reassure the soldiers, continue to defend the city." Young Lord Bai She waved his hand.

Although the climbing soldiers below the city walls seemed as fragile as ants in his eyes,

the strange and domineering power of Human Path Destiny in the battlefield cannot be blocked, even by an emperor.

Therefore,

Young Lord Bai She could only watch helplessly as the enemy soldiers climbed the walls of Sha City, slaughtering the defending soldiers.

However, he didn't worry much, because as long as he waited for Sir to return, everything would be resolved.

After such a long time,

Young Lord Bai She believed there was nothing his Sir couldn't handle, even the powerful Guanyin of Shimon had suffered defeats at Sir's hands, right?

Hearing his Majesty's words,

"This…" General Yang hesitated, but chose to trust his country's master and immediately ordered the soldiers to defend the city to the death.

• •

At this moment,

The battle became even more intense.

The spirits of both the defending soldiers and the attacking Wusi Tibetan Country soldiers were stretched to the limit.

Facing relentless attacks from an enemy force ten times larger than the defenders of Sha City, they knew they couldn't hold on, yet they hadn't collapsed.

But Black Wind Country was different.

Black Wind Country's soldiers were not afraid of disability on the battlefield, as they were protected by the gods. Even if they were disabled, as long as the battle ended, they could recover.

They were also not afraid of death, even harboring a secret longing for death in their hearts.

For no other reason,

But to have their names engraved on the War Monument after death, their fame would last forever, an accomplishment in terms of reputation!

They can become ghosts, enjoy the protection of Black Wind Country's fate, not fall into reincarnation, not enter hell, and avoid the suffering of reincarnation… This moment is the real benefit.

"Hahaha, I've killed five enemies, and there's bound to be a place for me on the merit monument!"

A soldier of Sand City, looking down at his chest with a long spear embedded in it, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but his face was filled with a smile, followed by bursts of laughter.

This unusual situation… made the soldiers of the Wusi Tibetan country in front of him shiver, and the hands holding the long spear couldn't help but loosen a bit.

It was in this gap.

"Die!"

The soldier with the spear in his chest leaned forward, his bloody face twisted, his mouth biting the throat of the stunned enemy.

"The., the sixth, that's enough!"

Thump-

The Sand City guard had a smile on his face as he fell from the city wall. At the end of his life, not only did he go down with the enemy before him, but he also grabbed the ladder on the city wall and fell together.

This scene.

It was not an exception.

Throughout the battlefield of Sand City's defense, countless occurrences like this took place. Faced with the fearless Sand City soldiers, none of the Wusi Tibetan enemy forces could reach the city wall.

Even if the supervising army of Wusi Tibetan country here wasn't forcing them with a bow and arrow, threatening death if they retreated, the attacking soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

On this side.

In contrast to the bloody battle in Sand City.

Xuanqing and the newly adopted child Bai Ling'er were experiencing unparalleled joy along the way.

Perhaps it was because they had just escaped the endless suffering of Shimen, and for the first time experienced the happiness of freedom, Bai Ling'er turned into a chatterbox, with questions coming one after another.

Even… it made Xuanqing feel like he was dealing with Fat Ya when she was a child. Although it was annoying, there was also a sense of warmth.

"Alright, up ahead is the border Sand City of Black Wind Country." Xuanqing pointed to the distance with the whisk in his hand and introduced it to the little kitty Bai Ling'er on his shoulder.

Upon hearing this.

Bai Ling'er stretched out her front paw and asked curiously as she licked it.

"Wow… Brother Xuanqing, it seems like your city is at war, do you need me to help?"

"No!"

Xuanqing waved his hand, "War in the human dynasty is a fight for fate. If interfered with casually, it will suffer from fate backlash… You can't handle that with your little body-"

While talking.

The person and the tiger had already arrived above Sand City.

"Sir… You're here!"

Gentleman Bai She was overjoyed and quickly rode the breeze to the man's side, bowing and saluting.

Immediately.

He saw a… little cat… no… a little tiger on the gentleman's shoulder?

"Hehe, this is my newly adopted disciple, called Bai Ling'r." Xuanqing introduced with a smile.

Hearing this.

Gentleman Bai She couldn't help but take a closer look at the little kitty, then respectfully saluted and said, "So it's Sister Ling'er, my name is Qingxu!"

"Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Qingxu!"

The little kitty-like Bai Ling'er stood up on her hind legs, her two paws together as if saluting.

After saying hello.

"Sir, Sand City is about to be breached!" Gentleman Bai She looked at the soldiers on the city wall, his eyes full of concern.

"Good!"

Xuanqing nodded slightly, a touch of coldness in his eyes.

He wouldn't care about these mere soldiers fighting for a living, but officers above the rank of centurion must die!

Others worry about the consequences, the backlash of their fate.

He is not afraid!
