At the time Xuanqing was waiting for the return of the two child-like beings.
Nanshan Continent.
The Tang Dynasty’s Chang’an City.
Above a Buddhist temple, a goddess clothed in white gauze, stepping on a white lotus, and holding a Jade Purifying Bottle, emitted an aura of solemn holiness.
“It’s a 108,000-mile journey, long and difficult. Have you made up your mind to go to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures?”
“Amitabha, I am willing to make a solemn vow. If I can’t obtain the true scriptures, 1 will never turn back. If 1 don’t succeed in this life, I will try again in the next life. If I don’t succeed in the next life, I will keep trying in the next one and so on!”
A handsome young monk with red lips and white teeth knelt on the ground, his face full of determination.
“Excellent… Huh?”
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded with a smile. Just as she was about to say something to the eighth reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, which had become a monk.
Suddenly.
Her expression changed, and she noticed that her other self left on Yellow Wind Ridge had been destroyed by external forces.
Something went wrong!
Guanyin’s heart tightened, and she couldn’t care less about the Golden Cicada in front of her, who was destined to be sent to that gate of the curtain roll anyway.
“Start your journey to fetch the scriptures as soon as possible!” Leaving this sentence behind, she mounted the lucky cloud and hurried away.
Surroundings of Yellow Wind Ridge.
The skies filled with yellow sand disappeared after the Yellow Wind Monster’s death, and the area returned to its original lush greenery and clear waters.
Hum, hum-
Space suddenly wavered like ripples caused by water droplets falling into a calm lake.
A woman holding a Jade Purifying Bottle and standing on a lotus platform stepped out from the void. It was Guanyin herself, who had hurriedly traveled through space.
After glancing around her surroundings,
Instantly!
A bad premonition welled up in Guanyin’s heart.
She quickly closed her eyes, pinched her fingers, chanted incantations, and the space around her twisted and distorted. The events that had happened here were played back like a slideshow.
Moments later-
“Evil creature!”
Her face alternated between white and green, but she could only spit out two words in the end.
Elsewhere.
Longevity Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple!
A Taoist wearing a purple gold crown, carefree crane robe, shoes on his feet, silk belt around his waist, and holding a duster sat cross-legged.
“Heaven and Earth are connected by forty-nine threads, leaving a single glimmer of hope. It seems… it will be fulfilled by my young friend!”
Great Immortal Zhenyuan raised his head, looking towards the sky beyond, with eyes deep enough to see through the entire Primordial World.
He thought for a moment!
“Qingfeng, Mingyue, go pluck two Ginseng Fruits. I’m going to Douluo Palace to discuss the Dao with the Old Lord!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Above the Nine Heavens, immortal aura lingered, with auspicious clouds circling around.
Within the Golden Palace of Clouds.
With his crown removed, Jade Emperor laid sideways on a golden couch, propping up his head with one hand and holding a peach in the other, eating it leisurely.
Suddenly.
The movement of eating the peach paused slightly.
“Heh- quite interesting!” The corners of the Jade Emperor’s mouth curved upwards a little.
It has to be said.
After the Yellow Wind Monster was killed,
The entire Three Realms were in turmoil. Countless great beings turned their attention to the border area between the Nanshan Continent and the West Niu Hezhou.
There were various expressions on their faces; some showed joy, feeling incredibly happy, while others were pensive.
Not to mention the reactions of the outside world.
Here.
Xuanqing returned to Black Wind Mountain.
After resting for a few days, the time for cultivation with the two child-like beings finally arrived.
Gold Spirit and Silver Spirit, the two child-like beings, flew up from the foot of the mountain, chatting and laughing, their faces still full of lingering smiles.
“Did the two senior brothers have a good time?” asked Xuanqing.
“All ha – it’s very interesting, the human world is too much fun!”
The two children spoke in unison. Considering their enthusiasm, it’s no wonder they would secretly descend to the lower realm to become demons later.
Speaking of which,
Among all the demons in the eighty-one hardships, the ones transformed by the Golden Spirit and Silver Spirit were indeed rare demons that only occupied mountains and didn’t eat people.
“Senior Brother, let’s start practicing. After 1 help you refine a pill, my brother and I will go down the mountain to play!”
The silver-horned child rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Hearing this,
“Alright!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
Upon thinking,
A Chaos Pill appeared in his hand. He then swallowed it, and it became a huge and ferocious Chaos Energy.
The ferocity of this Chaos Energy was beyond comparison with the Chaotic Qi. Even after taking a pill to strengthen his body, Xuanqing could not handle it.
So, just like before,
He had to suppress the Chaos Energy first, put it into a dormant state, then tear off a small piece, and finally use the power of Qi Flower to refine it with sheer quantity.
“Junior Brother Xuanqing, here I come!”
In the process,
Yin Ling Tongzi, holding a wolf-toothed club-like pestle for grinding medicine, struck Xuanqing’s body to assist in refining the pill’s power.
During this process,
Xuanqing’s physical strength increased at a terrifying speed, practically changing every day.
Just like that,
Time flew by,
And two months had passed. During these two months, Xuanqing swallowed two more Chaos Pills, and altogether, he had swallowed three.
After all the Chaos Energy within his body was completely refined,
H
Hoo~”
Xuanqing opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and his face showed deep fatigue. Even the iron-like body could not withstand a whole month of high-intensity concentration to manipulate the Qi Flower and outwit the Chaos Energy.
“Thank you, two senior brothers, for your help. 1 have successfully refined the pill!”
“You’re welcome, Junior Brother. We will go down the mountain to play now, and see you in a week!” The two children casually responded, then turned around and went down the mountain to play.
Although using the pestle for grinding medicine required a lot of energy, the two children took turns, so they didn’t feel tired.
Watching the two children leave,
Xuanqing closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and recovered from the high-intensity mental exhaustion of the past month.
The next day,
After recuperating overnight, although he was still some distance from swallowing the next Chaos Pill, his mental strength had recovered a lot, enough to deal with daily affairs.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
It had been more than three months since he entered the game, and he wondered if the sweet potatoes had matured and how much the yield was.
With that in mind,
He took out the Immortal Official Document from his waist and dialed the summoning spell for Gentleman Bai She to come to Black Wind Mountain.
Moments later,
Gentleman Bai She entered the courtyard and respectfully saluted, “Subordinate Qingxu, greeting Sir!”
“Qingxu, have the sweet potatoes and other crops that the people of Black Wind Town planted been harvested?” Xuanqing asked indifferently.
Hearing this,
Qingxu nodded and answered, “Sir, as you commanded, the first season they planted sweet potatoes which matured and were harvested just a few days ago.”
“How much is the yield?” Xuanqing asked in a deep voice.
“Uh… the yield varies greatly, from as little as 2,000 jin (about 2000 pounds) per mu (about 0.16 acres), to as much as 8,000 jin (about 8000 pounds) per mu, so it’s impossible to give an average estimate!”
Gentleman Bai She pondered for a moment and replied cautiously.
As little as 2,000 jin?
Hearing this,
Xuanqing’s brow furrowed slightly..
