Xuanqing nodded with gratitude and said, “The Great Immortal has shown great kindness towards me, not only gifting me the ginseng fruits but also aiding me in achieving this heavenly immortal body.”
Upon hearing this.
The two of them were even more shocked.
Sure enough.
From the moment Taoist Xuanqing took out the ginseng fruit, it indicated his association with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. Now upon listening, it turned out that even the heavenly immortal body was a favor from the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
Incredible- Absolutely incredible!
What is the background of this Xuanqing?
Star Lord Taibai silently pondered. If Xuanqing was merely a disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, it wouldn’t have merited such a devotion from the Great Immortal.
“You are a blessed young man, truly enviable!” Star Lord Taibai bowed his hand and added, “Well then, I shall take the ginseng fruit with gratitude.”
Upon saying so.
He accepted the ginseng fruit from his hands.
Since everyone was a cultivator, there was no need to fuss over it like ordinary mortals. Moreover, a give and take relationship lasted longer.
While talking.
The three had already arrived beside the Ascension Altar.
“Young friend, we’ve now arrived at the Ascension Altar, so I won’t be accompanying you up. Hopefully, in the future, we’ll have a chance to get closer.” Star Lord Taibai chuckled with a bow in his hands.
Xuanqing quickly raised his fingers, bowed in respect and said, “Thank you, Elder Taibai and Elder Huode, I shall take my leave now.”
Taking a step forward, he entered the Ascension Altar.
Humming-
With a familiar sensation of dizziness, he was transferred to the upper heavens.
When he opened his eyes again.
He found himself outside the Douluo Palace.
The Golden Child Jin Ling and the Silver Child Yin Ling were already expectantly waiting.
“May you enjoy immeasurable longevity and fortune. 1 pay my respect to my two senior brothers.” Xuanqing politely greeted them with a bow.
“Junior Brother Xuanqing, Sir has sent us to receive you!”
“Indeed- Indeed.”
The two child-like beings were thrilled to see Xuanqing. For them, the time spent with Junior Brother Xuanqing was the happiest since they had arrived at the Heavenly Court.
As their words fell.
The two child-like beings, one on the right and one on the left, held Xuanqing’s hands and led him into the Douluo Palace.
“Junior Brother, you left last time without finishing your story. We’ve been tormented by endless thoughts and sleepless nights. After you’ve finished with your tasks, you must complete the story!” Yin Ling Tongzi said expectantly.
“True! What my brother said is true. We couldn’t sleep at night-” Jin Ling Tongzi also nodded and echoed.
Xuanqing smiled wryly and explained, “One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth. I have important matters to attend to in the lower realm. I’m afraid I will have to tell the story to my two senior brothers at a later time.” “All.. 1 see, all right!”
The two child-like beings were immediately disheartened, but they were also courteous and understood not to interfere with their junior brother’s business due to their own desires.
Arriving at the entrance of the Ancestor Master’s room.
Xuanqing respectfully bowed and spoke loudly, “Disciple Xuanqing, seeking an audience with Ancestor Master!”
“Enter!”
The ethereal voice seemed to echo from all directions.
He entered the room.
“Xuanqing, instead of cultivating earnestly in the lower realm, what brings you to my Douluo Palace?” Taishang Laojun asked calmly, with his back turned to him.
“Reporting to Ancestor Master, the disciple happened upon some ginseng fruits in Wuzhuang Temple. Bearing in mind the great kindness and virtue of the Ancestor Master towards me, I came here to offer them to you!”
Xuanqing lowered his head, with a respectful expression on his face.
While talking.
He took out four hundred ginseng fruits from his game backpack, leaving more than a hundred for himself to cultivate.
Upon witnessing this.
Taishang Laojun finally turned around, a clear look of admiration in his eyes.
“Oh?”
“Is your heart truly willing to give up a large portion of this precious Ginseng Fruit to honor me?” The Old Lord asked with interest.
“Willing, of course 1 am willing.”
Xuanqing smiled and immediately explained, “My entrance into this path of cultivation is all thanks to the protection of Ancestor Master. Without Ancestor Master’s help, all would be in vain!”
Upon hearing this sincere and heartfelt words…
The Old Lord was very pleased and even more satisfied.
“Good lad, this Ginseng Fruit can increase your cultivation when you consume it, but for me, it only satisfies my taste buds. Are you sure you are willing to give them up?”
“Compared to the favor of the Ancestor Master, these mere four hundred Ginseng Fruits really don’t count. Ancestor Master, please just take it,” Xuanqing said again.
Upon hearing this…
“Hahahaha-”
The Old Lord responded with a hearty laugh, “You little slick, your words are watertight.”
“Well, besides your intentions, this conduct reflects your filial piety. I certainly should not be petty.”
“I have here a book of the ‘Tiangang Thirty-Six Method’, it will be my gift to you.”
“Besides these Ginseng Fruits… I will keep a few, the leftover will be refined into Chaos Pills.”
With that said…
The Old Lord waved his duster, and with just one move, he took away all the over five hundred Ginseng Fruits. He then formed a golden beam of light with his finger and shot it towards Xuanqing.
Whoosh-
Xuanqing was momentarily dazed.
Then, he found that in his mind, there appeared a copy of the ‘Tiangang Thirty-Six Method’ divine power techniques.
It’s worth mentioning.
Many people misunderstand that the Thirty-Six Method is about morphing into thirty-six different things, but that’s incorrect.
‘Tiangang Thirty-Six Method’, refers to the thirty-six different divine abilities of the Taoist practice, among them are: Reversal of Creation, Reversing Yin and Yang, Moving Stars and Changing Constellations, Reversing Time, Summoning Wind and Rain, Shaking Mountains and Moving Earth, Fog Riding
These techniques…
Even if you individually take out one divine power, it’s an extraordinary power. Now, all these thirty-six powers integrated into one, it’s power and creativity are limitless.
“I wholeheartedly thank Ancestor Master for his generous gifts.”
Xuanqing’s heart was filled with joy.
Indeed…
He needed to keep clutching at the strong thigh. The Taoist has always valued deeds over intent. Just as long as he expressed his filial piety, given the magnanimity of the Ancestor Master, he would surely not treat him unfairly.
All of a sudden…
He remembered a problem. Although he didn’t know what a Chaos Pill was, the fact that it was made from Ginseng Fruit told him that it wasn’t something ordinary.
Normally, the more precious the elixir, the longer the time required to refine it.
And with one day in heaven equating to one year on earth… if it turned out to be ninety-nine days and eighty-one nights, wouldn’t he have to wait for eighty-one years in the human world?
With that thought…
Xuanqing couldn’t help but ask: “Ancestor Master, how much time will it take to refine the Chaos Pill?”
Upon hearing this…
“To refine this pill, it needs to undergo alternation of gentle and high heat in the Eight Trigram Furnace for forty-nine days before it can be completed!” The Old Lord responded with a meaningful smile.
Actually…
He was fully aware of what Xuanqing was thinking.
Sure enough…
Once he mentioned forty-nine days, this little slick didn’t show any expression, but he could feel his disappointment.
As a result…
The smile on the Old Lord’s face was even greater. He waved his hand and said, “Off you go. One day in heaven is one year on earth. You just have to wait for another forty-nine years in the lower realm until the pill is ready.”
“Ancestor Master…-”
Having said that…
He waved his duster with his right hand and without letting him finish speaking, he sent him back to the lower realm.
After he completely left and disappeared…
“Hahaha- This bold and reckless little slick thinks he can take advantage of the Ancestor Master!”
Although the Old Lord was saying this…
The look of admiration in his eyes grew even deeper.
The Taoist has never needed people who are blindly loyal. Those with courage, a keen mind, and an understanding of flexibility are often the ones who can do things better..
