Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Cloud Rider!

This heartfelt cry of “Sir” was a genuine expression of emotion.
Compared to the emotional outburst of the Black Bear Essence, Gentleman Bai She on the side, though excited, managed to maintain composure.
At this moment.
Xuanqing wore an expression of regret.
Although he graduated from the Daoist Academy, he had also attended compulsory education before that. Naturally, he knew about someone named Zhou Shuren, who had written a story about unconventional land.
He too had been the same, originally a Daoist friend, but now had become a master.
“Sigh!”
Xuanqing sighed, shook his head, and cast these thoughts out of his mind.
Cultivators should pursue the Great Dao with ease and freedom; such sentimentality was a bit too attached.
With this in mind.
He no longer dwelled on these issues.
With a thought.
Xuanqing took the Gathering Qi Bead out of the Game Backpack and asked, “Do the two of you know the value of this Gathering Qi Bead?”
Upon hearing this.
Just as the Black Bear Essence was about to answer, Gentleman Bai She pulled on his sleeve.
“Cough, cough, now that we have followed our master, you should just call us by our nicknames. The term ‘Daoist Friend’ is a bit beyond us.”
Gentleman Bai She looked solemn, lowering his head and clasping his hands.
“That’s right, that’s right. Little White is right, from now on, Sir, you just call me Old Black!” said the Black Bear with a deep voice.
“Don’t waste time on titles. From now on, I’ll call you both Black Bear and White Snake,” said Xuanqing, shaking his head, without a doubt.
Whether it was Old Black or Little White, both names seemed a bit insulting to people… no, insulting to demons. Even if he wanted to assert authority, there was no need to do so in their names.
“Yes, Sir!”
“Sir, the value of the Gathering Qi Bead you just asked about is roughly equivalent to a thousand-year thunderstruck peachwood.”
“However, the Gathering Qi Bead has a wider range of uses. It is in high demand among human cultivators, monster and demon clan, and even immortals and ghost immortals!” Gentleman Bai She explained in detail.
Hearing this.
Xuanqing had a clear understanding.
So this ‘Gathering Qi Bead,’ although not a highly valuable treasure, was a best-selling item with a wide range of uses.
It made sense.
This Gathering Qi Bead had the effect of gathering Qi, whether it was Spiritual Qi or Yin Qi. It was reasonably expected to be a popular item.
After learning the value of the Gathering Qi Bead.
Xuanqing had a plan in mind.
When he returned to Earth, he would see if he could find a processing factory to mass-produce such Gathering Qi Beads, or else simply buy a high-precision lithography device for himself.
Afterward.
He handed the four hundred-year-old ginseng to Gentleman Bai She and had it turned into an elixir.
In terms of the Jiao skin, it was a pity that neither of the two knew a refiner. They would have to wait for the next large-scale gathering of loose cultivators.
“Sir… what should Black Bear and 1 do now?” Gentleman Bai She inquired cautiously.
Now that they had a background and a master, they naturally couldn’t be as wayward and casual as before.
Xuanqing hesitated for a moment.
“1 plan to build a temple here in a while, and you can come and help then. For now, you can return to your cave mansions!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The two demons bowed their fists and slowly left the room.
After the two demons left.
Xuanqing went out and reminded Fat Ya that he would continue his closed-door cultivation for a while. He asked her to watch the house carefully and work hard on her cultivation.
Then.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and assumed the cultivation posture.
“Exit the game!”
Real World.
Qingping Temple.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
Taking into account the promotion to the immortal world, he had spent two days in the Game World, but only a few hours had passed in the Real World.
“Open the automatic training feature!”
[You have successfully opened the automatic training feature!]
The moment the hang-up cultivation function was activated, the mana in his body visibly increased in speed.
“As expected, ‘Ingesting Qi Decision’ is a legitimate Daoist internal Qi cultivation technique. The cultivation speed is at least several times faster than the previous incomplete breathing method!”
Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved up, and he couldn’t help but feel admiration in his heart.
It was strange that Zhu Ganglie exchanged such a technique for worldly silver and gold with this value of over sixty jin of silver.
“Since I can automatically cultivate my mana, 1 should now focus on learning divine techniques in the real world!”
“I’ve already mastered Light Body and Controlling Wind in ‘Treading the
Clouds’ – now all that’s left is the final step, Cloud Rider.”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
He looked outside the window, everything pitch black, indicating that it would still be a while until dawn.
With a thought.
He took the book “Treading the Clouds” out of his game backpack and opened it to the last chapter.
“Condensing fog into clouds, using mana…” Xuanqing murmured quietly.
About thirty minutes later.
Xuanqing put the book down, his eyes shining brightly, “Indeed, mastering cloud riding is much more difficult than the previous two steps!”
“I need to turn my mana into fog, then condense and maintain it as clouds.
Next, I’ll step on the clouds in a Light Body state and finally, use Controlling Wind to manipulate cloud movements.”
“This is like multitasking with three abilities!”
If it were before, mastering such difficult techniques would have taken at least a year or more.
However, now it’s much simpler by just activating the [Jue Sheng Qi Zhi] state. The only downside is that it consumes more incense every time.
Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved up.
It was still early, so he decided to give it a try. However, the third cloud riding step was not suitable to practice indoors. He had to go outside!
At the peak of Qingping Mountain!
Whoosh-
The strong wind howled.
There was a lot of moisture in the mountain air, and even the improved
Xuanqing still felt a slight chill when the wind blew on him.
“First, let’s learn how to condense fog into clouds!”
Xuanqing waved his right hand, mobilizing the mana covering his entire body. The next moment.
Numerous tiny water droplets condensed, reflecting a white light under the moonlight.
“Condensing fog is not difficult.”
Xuanqing’s eyes brightened, and then he shouted low, “Form clouds!”
Sploosh-
The fog dispersed and turned into countless silver-white crystals that drifted away and vanished with the mountain wind.
“Again!”
Xuanqing didn’t feel discouraged. After all, with the automatic training feature
activated, his mana was constantly replenishing itself.
Moments later, he successfully condensed fog and then proceeded to the next step of forming clouds.
Eventually.
Accompanied by a ‘sploosh’ sound, the fog was scattered by the mountain
wind, and forming clouds failed once more.
“Again!”
Sploosh-
An hour later.
After countless failures.
Xuanqing finally admitted the reality and had to acknowledge that his talent was somewhat lacking when it came to mastering techniques.
Be aware.
This was just the most basic step of forming clouds, and there was still an even harder multitasking step ahead.
“As expected, 1 am not a talented candidate!”
Xuanqing smiled slightly.
After reconfirming this once again, he no longer hesitated.
“Activate Jue Sheng Qi Zhi for 1 minute!”
