When he regained consciousness, the surroundings had changed, showing that he had already entered the game world.
“Phew-”
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
In the real world, the initiation of this automatic cultivation progresses slowly and painstakingly. Even when the cultivation reached the limit of a minor realm, it would still go unnoticed.
Transforming essence into Qi.
Essence refers to one’s vital energy.
And in the subsequent Qi transformation, the transformation of the innate energy within the body is carried out. After initially introducing Qi into the body and transforming the physical body, it further polishes the physical body, so it can accommodate more Qi.
The essence and Qi are complementary to each other, strengthening one will nurture the other.
This is why introducing Qi into the body and refining essence into Qi are considered foundational in the path of cultivation.
“Breakthrough!”
Xuanqing muttered quietly in his mind.
The mana within his body began to circulate rapidly, breaking through the thin barrier that hindered further enhancement.
If the breakthrough of the major realm is akin to a transformation in the echelons of life.
Then the breakthrough of the minor realm is like breaking the original limit on the current life stratum, giving the physical body the potential to go a step further, and ultimately achieving a transformation on the life echelons of the major realm.
A mist rose.
His body was feeling warm, as if he was in a hot spring.
Shortly after.
Hunger waves began to assault his brain from his body.
It’s due to the previous limit being broken, and the body can now continue to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, strengthen the physical body, and increase the amount of Qi it can accommodate.
“I’ve broken through!”
There were no surprises at all.
You have to understand.
After activating the automatic cultivation feature, the game character will cultivate in the most fitting and stable manner.
Under such circumstances, there won’t be any ‘bottlenecks’ or ‘obstacles’. It is as though a newborn child instinctively cries after being swatted on the butt.
“Refining Essence into Qi (Mid-Stage)!”
Xuanqing stood up, feeling the changes in his body.
Compared to before, his skin, flesh, and bones had become more resilient.
If he had to dodge a gun in the past, the current strength of his physical body should allow him to face it directly. His muscular strength could probably stop a bullet.
Of course, even if he could withstand it, he wouldn’t just stand there and let others shoot.
The biggest change was in his internal organs.
Each breath was now more profound.
Thump- Thump-
His heart seemed to have been beefed up with an engine. Each beat brought more power and vigor.
“Phew… Not bad!”
Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curled up, his mood was terrific.
For him, nothing in this world could be more joyful than improving his cultivation, slowly enhancing his power bit by bit.
A thought came to his mind.
“Open character panel!”
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Grade]: Selected Scholar of Taiji Palace, Left Judge of Wulei Institute, Officer of Thunderbolt Department (Ninth Rank)
[Cultivation]: Refining Essence into Qi (Mid-Stage)
[Cultivation Method]: Food-Qi Decree
[Divine Ability]: Cloud Stepping Travel (Great Success), Five Elements Talisman Array (Beginner)
[Ingot]: 160
On the character panel.
The Immortal Official Record remained the same; he was still a Ninth-Rank Immortal Officer. To advance further, it looked like he would need to accumulate more incense offerings over some time.
The reason he was left with only 160 ingots.
Most of them were spent on the “Five Elements Formation”. Compared to “Treading the Clouds”, which is a simple travelling technique, it is much more complicated.
Even so, his “Five Elements Formation” is still at the beginner level, only able to forge single attribute Five Elements Talismans.
“Exit cultivation to see if Fat Ya has been lazy with her practice these days!”
Xuanqing stood up and stretched lazily.
Crack-
Eve ry bone in his body made a crisp sound, which was not due to bone hyperplasia, but a phenomenon caused by breakthroughs in cultivation.
Just pushed open the stone door.
Then, he heard a familiar thick and muffled voice from outside.
“Fat Ya, go and check if Sir’s stone door is open yet!”
“Wait a moment, Uncle Black Bear ~”
Step, Step, Step, Step –
Accompanied by hurried footsteps.
Fat Ya lost her balance and stumbled forward. Just as she cried out in shock, expecting to fall to the ground.
She was surprised to find that she had not fallen to the ground. Instead, she was in a warm and safe embrace.
“All- Sir!”
Fat Ya looked up, her eyes twinkling with joy, “Sir, Uncle Black Bear, Uncle Snake, and those seniors from the other day, they’re all waiting for you outside!”
“Hmm?”
Xuanqing was slightly taken aback.
What happened to make Black Bear and White Snake, along with a group of Earth Gods, all wait outside the cave mansion?
He patted Fat Ya’s head and stepped outside.
“Sir!”
“Sir!”
The calls of “Sir” entered his ears.
Looking at it, Xuanqing saw four Earth Gods gathered, standing on the left of the cave mansion, while the Black Bear Essence and Bai She Gentleman stood on the right.
It looked like.
His subordinates had split into two groups.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Black Bear Essence and Bai She Gentleman had bullied the Earth Gods for years, it was normal for the two groups to not get along.
“Why have you all gathered here?” Xuanqing asked in a clear voice.
Everyone looked at each other.
A moment later.
The Earth God of Black Wind Town stepped forward, cupped his hands and carefully said: “Superior Immortal, you are now the Left Judge of this area, rightfully listed as the Standard Rank Nine Immortal, but you haven’t established any Taoist temples since taking office. That’s why we have come!”
“Establish a Taoist temple?”
Xuanqing was slightly surprised, it seemed… from the literal sense… it should mean building a Taoist temple?
Seeing this.
The nearby Bai She quickly came forward and explained:
“Sir, after becoming an immortal, you need to build a Taoist temple in your territory. By doing this, the salary from the heavenly court can be distributed smoothly. It also provides a place for your followers to settle in.”
“Hehe, it’s time to establish a temple. 1, the Black Bear, am now your man, Sir. I can’t stay in a mountain cave like a clueless beast anymore.”
The Black Bear Essence laughed stupidly with anticipation and chimed in.
Hearing this.
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
He had no idea that after officially becoming a Ninth-Rank Immortal Officer, building a Taoist temple in his territory was of such importance.
Put simply.
This action is like appointing a county head, but instead of establishing a county government office, the county head chooses to live in a hotel every day.
In that case.
There was nothing more to say, he would build the Taoist temple as everyone suggested!
“As a novice superior immortal, I was ignorant about many matters. Do you know what preparations must be done to build a Taoist temple?”
As a newbie superior Immortal, he was unclear about many things, such as what needed to be done after becoming a Ninth-Rank Immortal or what preparations were needed to build a Taoist temple.
“Sir, we need to prepare money!”
Money?
Xuanqing was completely astonished.
He was lucky that he hadn’t been drinking water, otherwise, he would have choked.
The Land God of Black Wind Town, as if seeing his leader’s confusion, quickly explained.
“We are Gods of the Human Path, this temple-building matter, must be done by the people under our rule, and also… it involves providing meals and paying wages..”
