Translator: 549690339
Real World.
Qingping Temple.
Xuanqing, sitting cross-legged, suddenly opens his eyes.
Since his cultivation reached the late stage of Qi Introduction, his body had been greatly strengthened, and maintaining a posture for a long time would not cause any discomfort.
The first thing he did after waking up was to look at the game screen.
“Open the automatic training feature!”
The next moment.
The game character, who had fallen asleep because of quitting the game, immediately began to practice and took elixirs according to the preset rhythm.
With a time ratio of one to ten between the two worlds, after opening the automatic training feature.
Xuanqing could clearly feel that the ‘Qi’ in his body was increasing at a visible speed, constantly washing over his physical body.
This continuous improvement felt truly addictive.
“This game is amazing, even when the phone is turned off, it doesn’t affect its operation at all.”
Xuanqing shook his head and charged his phone.
As soon as the phone was turned on, there came a continuous ringing of text message notifications.
He checked the messages.
Apart from various advertisements and scams, there were several messages from Yang Ying, all asking when the temple would open.
After some thought.
Xuanqing typed in the input box, “Miss Yang Ying, how do you know that my Taoist temple is closed?”
A moment later.
A message notification chimed on the phone, a reply from Yang Ying.
“Daoist Priest Xuanqing, I’m very sorry to bother you, it’s just that many of my friends in the group chat are urging me to ask you when the temple will be open.”
???
Seeing this reply, Xuanqing was slightly startled.
What does ‘friends in the group chat’ mean? Could it be that many people want to come and worship, and have even created a group chat for it?
Although it felt a bit strange, he didn’t dwell on it, and after sending a message saying ‘the temple is now open’ to the other party, he didn’t bother with it any more.
Because, compared to these worldly matters, he was more looking forward to the secret manual “Treading the Clouds.”
Subsequently.
With a thought.
A quaint, green-covered book appeared in Xuanqing’s hand, exactly the “Treading the Clouds” he had bought from Zhu Ganglie.
Upon opening the first page.
Preface.
“Treading the Clouds: Riding the wind and stepping on clouds, when the great achievements are accomplished, one can control the lucky cloud.”
Despite this simple introduction, Xuanqing didn’t look down upon it.
To know that in the Journey to the West, most demons travel by demonic wind and rolling black clouds when flying.
Even a great demon like the Black Bear Essence traveled by controlling black wind. Controlling a ‘lucky cloud’ was already extremely rare.
“That Zhu Ganglie is interesting too, after falling into the mortal world, he actually exchanged this secret technique for worldly money, I wonder what he had in mind.”
“Could it be that he’s preparing to take it as a dowry to marry Gao Cuilan at Gao’s Manor?”
Xuanqing muttered softly.
However.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, he immediately shook his head. It was absolutely impossible to marry Miss Gao.
According to the timeline of Journey to the West, at this moment, Miss Gao wasn’t even a tadpole yet; her father was still a child.
Unable to figure it out.
Xuanqing didn’t bother to think about it anymore. As a serious cultivator like him, he would never get stuck on something trivial.
He continued to read “Treading the Clouds.”
The entire “Treading the Clouds” secret manual was divided into three levels:[Light Body][Controlling Wind][Cloud Rider].
The first level, ‘Light Body’, was based on one’s own mana, applying it to the physical body in a certain pattern, making the flesh and blood extremely light.
Once accomplished, the body would be as light as a goose feather, easily leaping hundreds of meters while walking on water.
The second level, ‘Controlling Wind’, was to further perceive the force of wind in the air on the basis of Light Body, allowing the wind to carry the light body.
As for the third level, it became somewhat mythical.action
By condensing mana to form a lucky cloud, one had to reach a state where their feet tread upon it but don’t fall, and then ride the Gang Wind, able to travel dozens of miles with a single puff.
“First practice this Light Body on the first level!”
Xuanqing’s eyes narrowed.
He mobilized the mana in his body, and according to the technique recorded in the secret manual, applied it to his legs.
In an instant.
A floating sensation surged into his mind.
“Go!”
With a slight effort.
His whole body was like fitted with a spring, shooting forward at a speed that lightning could not even cover its ears.
Bang~
A loud noise.
The wooden wall of the bedroom was directly cracked open with a big hole.
And Xuanqing’s body, after flying out of the hole, slid for more than ten meters before finally lying down in the courtyard.
“Cough cough~”
Xuanqing looked somewhat embarrassed, immediately dispelling the mana gathered on his legs, and then unsteadily stood up.
This…
Fortunately, after such a long period of cultivation, the physical body had been strengthened under the nourishment of Qi.
If it were an ordinary person, such a bump might not necessarily kill them, but it would at least leave them crippled.
“Do not practice in the room without being familiar with it!”
Xuanqing looked at the big hole in the bedroom and the shattered robe on his body, then made this decision in his heart.
Afterward.
He directly went outside the Daoist temple.
Maybe the news of ‘closing the observatory’ had gone out, or perhaps the previous short video had been forgotten.
The whole Qingping Mountain once again regained its tranquility.
This endless stone step trail extending from the temple down was very suitable for practicing the Light Body in “Treading the Clouds.”
Once again, following the first layer operation method in “Treading the Clouds,” mobilizing the body’s mana and applying it to both legs.
With a slight effort.
Suddenly~
In a swoosh.
His entire body was like a sharp sword, rushing towards the foot of the mountain.
The speed was so fast that the tattered clothes on his body and the air friction produced a “whirring” sound.
…
Meanwhile.
County TV Station Office.
At an inconspicuous corner desk, after seeing Daoist Priest’s reply on her phone, Yang Ying was delighted.
Yang Ying used a form to block her head, then secretly peeked out through one eye, scanning the entire office.
Hmm… the boss isn’t here!
She quickly opened a group chat called ‘Fans of Daoist Xuanqing,’ and then her hands seemed to transform into octopus tentacles, rapidly typing a message.
[Brothers and sisters, Daoist Priest is back, and he said Qingping Temple is now open!]
As soon as the message was sent.
Immediately.
This ‘Fans of Daoist Xuanqing’ group chat was like cold water pouring into hot oil, causing an uproar.
“Wow, great, I want to go to Qingping Temple to offer incense!”
“Hmph, you above me, you really want to go and offer incense?”
“Sisters, let’s organize a group to climb the mountain tomorrow, sign up if you want to go!”
“I want to go… I want to go.”
“+1”
“+1”
…
Seeing the excited scene in the group chat.
“This lady is also going to see… No… to offer incense!” Yang Ying’s face could not help but show a half-smile.
However.
She suddenly realized something, it seemed her vacation this month had already been used up.
“Sigh!”
A myriad of thoughts finally turned into a long sigh!
