It’s worth mentioning that.
After reaching the Integration of Void Stage, aside from a few special cultivation techniques, most of them lost their effectiveness.
The so-called Integration of Void is refining one’s own void and integrating one’s own path. The best path is always the one walked by oneself.
“Since I became an immortal through the ‘Ingesting Qi Decision’, I shall take this as my foundation and develop my own cultivation techniques.” Xuanqing made up his mind.
Ingesting Qi Decision makes one swallow a mouthful of innate energy to nourish the physical body and the god soul. When combined, they can shed the mortal body and achieve the immortal body.
“Great Immortal Zhenyuan once said that after becoming an immortal, one needs to cultivate the Three Flowers and verifying Gathering the Crown, and also collect the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Qi within their chest to verify the Chaoyuan Power.”
“Only in this way can one reach the realm of Three Flowers Gathering At The Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan.”
“What 1 need to do now that 1 have an immortal body is to thoroughly stabilize and refine it before 1 can carry on with my follow-up cultivation,” Xuanqing pondered.
In layman’s terms,
In the Integration of Void Stage,
Early Stage: As the immortal body is just formed, the task is to temper the immortal body and maximize its development.
Mid Stage: Condense essence, Qi and god soul into the Three Flowers.
Late Stage: Cultivate the basic laws of the Five Elements and condense the Five Qi in the corresponding five internal organs.
Ultimately, cultivating to the Three Flowers gathered at the top and the Five Qi in the chest transformed into Chaoyuan power is the cultivation of the Integration of Void Stage.
Let’s not talk about the realms for now.
Before cultivating, Xuanqing retrieved the power of incense fire from the several ‘Gathering Qi Beads’ placed on the divine statue to avoid wasting it due to the time difference.
“Begin cultivating!”
With a thought,
A fist-sized Ginseng Fruit, shaped like a baby, appeared before him, emitting an enticing fragrance.
Gulp-
He swallowed it.
The Chaotic Qi in the fruit transformed into an incredibly rich life essence, nourishing his physical body.
It’s time to return to the real world and activate the automatic training feature.
“Exit the game.”
In the real world.
The main room of the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple.
“Huff-”
Xuanqing opened his eyes and woke up.
However,
As soon as he returned to the real world, he felt something was amiss—a strange sense of disconnection.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
He had spent two months in the game this time, which amounted to seven days in the real world. How could such an eerie situation arise upon returning?
The sense of disconnection was not very strong, but it persisted continuously.
Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
If one were to ask what the difference was between this login and the previous ones, it was that he had shed his mortal body and achieved the Way of Celestial Immortals there.
“Could it be because of the condensed immortal body and the attainment of the Heavenly Dao?”
After thinking it over,
That was the only possibility.
Fortunately,
The feeling of disconnection was very weak. If one did not pay close attention, it wouldn’t be noticeable at all. As long as it didn’t intensify, there was no significant harm.
“First, cultivate, then gradually explore later.”
Xuanqing shook his head.
“Activate automatic training!”
[Ding- You have successfully entered the automatic training state!]
Accompanied by the system prompt, an incredibly fulfilling sensation swept through his brain.
“Comfy!”
Xuanqing closed his eyes, feeling an unprecedented comfort.
It should be noted,
That this time he had prepared hundreds of Ginseng Fruits for closed-door cultivation. After activating automatic training, he set it up to ingest Ginseng Fruits for cultivation.
Cultivating was comfortable in itself, and with the double effect of automatic training plus the tenfold time difference between the two worlds, this comfortable feeling was enhanced to the limit.
After a while,
Having adapted to this sense of comfort,
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
Standing up,
Just like every time before returning to reality, he first charged his switched-off phone, and then called Yang Ying, his subordinate.
Half an hour later,
A black business car entered the parking lot.
Worth mentioning is that.
The person driving the car was a short girl wearing glasses, while Yang Ying was sitting in the back seat.
Clink-
The car door opened.
Yang Ying got out of the car and walked to the driver’s side, “Lily, don’t wait in the car, since you’re here, go in and burn a stick of incense!”
“All, burn incense?”
The girl called Lily, who was in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but look surprised.
“Yes.” Yang Ying nodded and then left the parking lot, walking quickly towards the direction of the Taoist temple.
Lily adjusted her glasses frame.
Although she was curious about why her boss asked her to burn incense, she had heard that burning incense at Qingping Temple only cost two yuan, so it didn’t matter.
Meanwhile.
Yang Ying had arrived at the inner courtyard.
Knock- Knock Knock
“Come in!”
She pushed the door open and walked in, only to see the Daoist priest sitting in a chair and hurriedly greeted him.
“Daoist Priest.”
“Hmm, how’s the development of the Daoist temple recently?” Xuanqing asked casually, as he had left in a hurry last time and hadn’t paid much attention to the real world here.
Upon hearing this.
“The development of the Taoist temple is going smoothly, and the construction of twelve Taoist temples is coming to an end.”
“However, if we continue to develop at the current pace, the follow-up funds may be somewhat tight, because we only have input and no output!”
Yang Ying replied.
“Right, 1 still have to go to the Business Bureau to change the nature of the company’s operations to traditional culture tourism, otherwise the business documents won’t be available.”
“Also, our Taoist temple’s main audience is the young group online. Once the twelve spots are open, there may be fewer visitors.”
“Thus, I plan to go to the towns and villages for publicity, expand the source of incense guests, and target the huge group of elderly people in the villages and towns.”
With the other party’s explanation.
Xuanqing roughly understood the current situation.
He had already anticipated the problem of insufficient funds since he never aimed at making money, but at acquiring the power of incense fire.
However.
When the other party mentioned ‘going to towns and villages for publicity,’ a trace of disaster aura flashed across their face and disappeared.
Disaster aura?
Xuanqing was somewhat taken aback.
It is important to know.
The disaster aura is not the so-called ordinary ‘blood disaster,’ but it implies that a huge disaster is about to happen.
Just like the large number of disaster victims who flooded into Black Wind Town before, they had just experienced the sky full of yellow sand, which is why the disaster aura was born.
Now.
Xuanqing saw the disaster aura on Yang Ying’s body, although it was only a flash, it was indeed a real disaster aura.
A catastrophe… is not a trivial matter.
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing said solemnly, “Repeat the last sentence.”
“I plan to go to the towns and villages for publicity, expand the incense guests
… um, is there anything wrong with this, you mean?”
Yang Ying was somewhat surprised, thinking that she had done something wrong.
As expected.
When the other party said the words about going to towns and villages for publicity again, the disaster aura reappeared and flickered, then disappeared.
“Hold on!” Xuanqing waved his hand, and immediately started divining.
He closed his eyes, pinching hand gestures in his hand, constantly changing.
With his current cultivation, divining ordinary people, he didn’t need to use magic tools, just using his bare hands was enough.
Moments later.
The divination result came out.
This disaster aura’s source was not on Yang Ying’s body, or rather, she was affected but not in danger.
That’s why the disaster aura appeared and disappeared in a flash.
However.
During the divination, he found that a young girl beside Yang Ying had died in the disaster, which was the source of the disaster aura on Yang Ying.
“Yang Ying, do you know a short girl wearing glasses? What’s her relationship with you?” Xuanqing opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
“All… a girl with glasses and short stature?”
Yang Ying was slightly startled, as the topic jumped from work matter to this question, which made her a bit slow to react,
But she knew that Daoist Priests like Xuanqing would never make a mistake without reason.
“Daoist Priest… you must be talking about Lily, she’s my secretary.”
After thinking about it.
Yang Ying had a picture of Lily in her mind; a short child wearing glasses and related to her, the only one was this little assistant.
“Call her over, I need to confirm something!”
