Chapter 36 - 35: The Long-Cherished Wish of the Black Bear Essence!
Chapter 36 - 35: The Long-Cherished Wish of the Black Bear Essence!
He picked up the Incense Pearl and examined it closely.
"The patterns of this Gathering Spirit Formation are quite complex. If it were to be done by humans, it would probably take a lot of practice!"
"However...."
A slight smile appeared on Xuanqing's lips.
If humans were doing it, there might be mistakes, but if it were done by a precision carving machine, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce them?
Jade was a good treasure in this extraordinary world.
However, on Earth, it was merely a slightly nicer ornament. With his current ability, he could have as much of it as he wanted.
Xuanqing's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Speaking of which.
His biggest advantage compared to the natives of the Journey to the West World was that he had the backing of Earth, a large world.
Although the Journey to the West World seemed more powerful, in reality, if one understood some astronomical knowledge, they would find that Earth in the real world was not inferior at all.
There were countless Earths in a solar system, and the Milky Way Galaxy was at least two trillion solar systems big.
In the universe where Earth was located, there were countless Milky Way Galaxy-sized areas that could be observed.
"I'll ask Fellow Daoist Black Bear later about the value of this Gathering Qi Bead in this world!"
Xuanqing's eyes sparkled.
If the Gathering Qi Bead was valuable, he wouldn't mind being a "broker" between the two realms to earn cultivation resources. It wouldn't be embarrassing.
...
While Xuanqing was in the cave house, thinking about how to acquire resources.
Not far from his cave house, in a hidden cluster of trees.
A black and a white figure were peeping at Xuanqing's cave house through the gaps in the leaves.
"Big brother, have those Earth Gods already gone far?"
"Hehe, they've gone far already!" The Black Bear Essence's eyes shone with white light, which was clearly the effect of infusing his demon qi.
The two demons exchanged glances, then stealthily emerged from the bushes and headed in the direction of Xuanqing's cave house.
...
Moments later.
"Huh... Black Uncle, White Uncle... Are you here to see Sir?" Fat Ya greeted them enthusiastically.
As if remembering something, her little face turned red, and her chubby hands covered her face, leaving only a small gap to peek at the Black Bear Essence.
"Ah, I forgot to tell Sir that you've been looking for him, Black Uncle!" Fat Ya's voice sounded soft and guilty.
In the cave house.
Sensing two powerful auras approaching.
Xuanqing put away the Incense Pearl and walked out of the cave house, only to see the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Black Bear, and Fellow Daoist White Snake, please come in and sit down!"
"Fat Ya, make a pot of tea!"
He invited the two demons into the cave house.
The trio sat around a stone table.
"Um... Congratulations to Daoist Priest Xuanqing on becoming a Ninth-Rank Immortal Officer. We've come to...to..."
The Black Bear Essence's deep voice sounded hesitant and awkward, making him seem rather shy.
Seeing this scene.
Gentleman Bai She looked anxious.
His big brother Black Bear was good in all aspects, except that he was too thin-skinned.
At once.
Gentleman Bai She stood up.
"Ahem!"
"Daoist Priest Xuanqing, to be frank, my brother and I plan to join you. As long as you accept us, we'll offer you Black Wind Mountain and Azure Dragon Cave!"
After he finished speaking.
Gentleman Bai She pulled the still stuttering Black Bear Essence back a step, and then deeply bowed to Xuanqing in front of them.
This scene.
This startled Xuanqing.
"Fellow Daoist Bai She, Fellow Daoist Black Bear, what are you doing?" Xuanqing hurriedly went forward, trying to help the two demons up.
However.
It seemed that the two demons had made up their minds. No matter how Xuanqing tried to help them, they wouldn't get up.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing couldn't help but speak, "Both of you, I am just an insignificant ninth-grade sesame official, with my cultivation only at the stage of refining essence into Qi. What merit or capability do I have to receive such treatment from you?"
???
Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She were stunned.
It seemed that Daoist Xuanqing didn't know how powerful his own identity was.
Upon thinking about it, it made sense. According to the two demons' speculation, Daoist Xuanqing should be the reincarnation of a great power, and hadn't awakened his previous life's memory yet, so it was reasonable for him not to understand many common things.
After thinking it through.
The two demons felt that they needed to let Daoist Xuanqing know that his identity was already very powerful.
"Sir may not know that even a ninth-grade position in the Immortal Records has distinctions!"
"The ordinary mountain gods and earth gods are ranked ninth, with their lowly statuses not included in the immortal records."
"The gods of great rivers and famous mountains start at the standard ninth-grade, and although they are included in the immortal records, their growth is limited and they will never advance in their lifetimes."
At this point.
Gentleman Bai She looked intently at Xuanqing.
"But Daoist Xuanqing, a Daoist Immortal Officer, is extremely special. Now, after being promoted and included within Donghua Emperor's jurisdiction, even in the Heavenly Court, you are a renowned person!"
"Furthermore, Sir is a human, with extraordinary talent, the future prospects of which cannot be estimated!" Gentleman Bai She spoke passionately.
Black Bear Essence, who stood beside him, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Again, Gentleman Bai She kowtowed, "Both of us are loose cultivators, and only wish to join under Daoist Xuanqing's tutelage. When the time comes for you to rise, please grant us the opportunity to join the immortal records!"
"The same goes for me!" Black Bear Essence quickly kowtowed as well, and added this sentence.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing's expression was somewhat startled.
He never imagined that in the two demons' eyes, his identity would be so great and his future so bright.
However, upon reflection.
Perhaps the Heavenly Court's immortal records were like the establishment on Earth, something that countless people desired but could not attain.
Of course.
There was also something Xuanqing didn't know.
That was that the two demons had already regarded Xuanqing as the reincarnation of a great power, which they had beautifully mistaken when he took out a thunderstruck wood earlier.
At this moment.
Having learned what the two demons were thinking.
Xuanqing felt at ease. Seeing that the two demons were still kowtowing, he opened She swallowed his saliva constantly.
Clearly, both demons were extremely excited.
his mouth and said:
"Both of you have been taking care of me. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely strive for the opportunity for both of you to join the immortal records!"
"Phew~"
Black Bear Essence's eyes were red, gasping for breath. Beside him, Gentleman Bai She swallowed his saliva constantly.
Clearly, both demons were extremely excited.
When it came to it.
Some bitter experiences could only be understood by going through them oneself.
Just like Black Bear Essence, he once had aspirations and went all the way from his hometown in Beiju Luzhou, crossing mountains and rivers, to finally arrive at the sacred land of cultivation, East Sheng Divine Continent.
However, after arriving in East Sheng Divine Continent, he found out that without any background and being just a beast, he couldn't even dream of seeking the Dao, and couldn't even enter the gates of any sect.
Having been turned away countless times, Black Bear Essence, who realized that there was no hope of entering a Daoist sect in this life, finally arrived at the edge of Nanshan Continent and settled in Black Wind Mountain as a carefree king.
Thinking back to those days.
Black Bear Essence couldn't hold back any longer; even with his head raised, he couldn't keep the moisture from welling up in his eyes.
Murmuring to himself.
Finally.
"Sir!"
