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!!
