Chapter 136 - 135: Immortal Official Promotion, Returning to Reality!
??
Xuanqing was speechless.
His brother’s personality was a bit eccentric.
But then he thought about this guy who, in the Journey to the West adventure, would casually divide his luggage and fondly play with monkeys, a truly terrible deeds.
“Brother Zhuanglie, if you have something to say, just tell me directly.” Xuanqing subtly retreated from Zhu Ganglie’s embrace.
“Hehe~”
Zhu Ganglie grinned, his eyes crafty. “Brother, Old Zhu has a lover who is about to be reincarnated as a human. I would like her to cultivate on your Black Wind Mountain… for when the time comes….”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing suddenly understood.
When he went to Douluo Palace, he learned that this guy developed a fondness for a Rabbit Spirit from the Devil Race.
However, since the rabbit spirit’s background wasn’t respected, Zhu Ganglie found a back door. He had her commit suicide and then reborn as a human, which solved the issue of her identity being problematic.
“You mean that Mao Erjie, who is to be reincarnated as a human, will cultivate on my Black Wind Mountain, right?”
“Yes, yes, it would be even better if you could give her a ginseng fruit, it will make her ascension to immortality easier,” Zhu Ganglie nodded repeatedly, a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
“Alright, I promise. However…” Xuanqing first nodded, then hesitated a bit.
Hearing the first part of the statement, Zhu Ganglie’s smile widened, but hearing the “however”, his heart sank.
“However what? Brother Xuanqing, speak freely. If I can do it, 1 will, even if it means risking my life,” Zhu Ganglie quickly assured.
Xuanqing nodded and softly said:
“I’ve recently made an enemy. He’s a demon called Yellow Wind Monster. His cultivation has already consolidated the Three Flowers of the Cauldron, reaching the Taiyi Realm, and he’s very good with wind summoning skills; it’ll be quite troublesome.”
“If brother Zhuanglie could help me eliminate this devil, the sister-in-law will have a safer time cultivating on Black Wind Mountain.”
“So that’s the problem, we are going to fight! Leave it to me, let’s go and clean up that Yellow Wind Monster right now.”
Zhu Ganglie grinned, flaunting his nine-toothed rake.
In his heart, he sighed with relief. The request was reasonable and straightforward. He was ready to kill the Yellow Wind Monster and get things done quickly.
“There’s no hurry, the reincarnation of sister-in-law is more important. You might as well go ahead, and after you’re finished, we’ll deal with the Yellow Wind Monster.”
Xuanqing waved his hand, not in a hurry at all.
After all.
Under normal circumstances, the Yellow Wind Monster will probably stay in the Wusi Tibetan Empire until he becomes a difficulty for the scripture-fetching team and then gets removed.
“Hahaha- good brother, then we’ll settle on this, and I’m going too.”
“We’ll meet again!”
Zhu Ganglie laughed heartily, his rake on his shoulder, he rode a lucky cloud and flew away.
Just like that.
With the departure of the last guest, the Ascension Banquet ended perfectly.
“All subordinates gather!”
Moments later.
Two Demons, Four Little Gods, Qingwan… all the subordinates gathered in the courtyard, waiting for their master’s orders.
“The Ascension Banquet went well. You’ve worked hard.” Xuanqing said, comforting them.
“We’re not tired. It’s our honor to share Sir’s worries,” everyone responded.
Xuanqing nodded approvingly, then took out seven ginseng fruits from his bosom, distributing them to his subordinates.
“You all have been working hard for several months before and after the Ascension Banquet. Here is a ginseng fruit for each of you as a reward.”
All the recipients were nearly drooling as they accepted the ginseng fruit. They bowed deeply and shouted in unison: “Thank you, Sir, for your generous reward!”
“Black Bear, stay. The rest of you can go,” Xuanqing waved his hand at his subordinates.
When they all left.
Only Xuanqing and the Black Bear were left in the courtyard.
“Sir, what can 1 do for you?” The Black Bear asked, scratching his head.
“Black Bear, among my subordinates, you possess the highest combat power. Prepare to fight with a devil beside me in a few days,” Xuanqing said gravely.
Unavenged grievances are a disgrace. The Tao always pays good with good and evil with evil. The Yellow Wind Monster expelled the disaster victims and tried to ambush him.
He even tried to kill him in person, causing him to experience excruciating pain due to his wind attack. If he doesn’t seek revenge, this hatred won’t leave later.
“Yes, Sir, I’ll attack anyone you tell me to!” The Black Bear Essence revealed a brutal look, his body emanating strong murderous intent.
“Hm… you may go now.”
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
Suddenly.
As if he remembered something, he took out a ginseng fruit from his chest and instructed the Black Bear Essence:
“Hold on a moment, I’d like you to go to the Netherworld and deliver this ginseng fruit to the City God!”
“Certainly-”
The Black Bear Essence took the ginseng fruit, then used a spell to travel to the dark Netherworld of Black Wind Town.
Back in the courtyard.
Xuanqing lay alone on the chair.
“Yellow Wind Monster, Yellow Wind Monster, you’ve messed with me, so now you’re in deep trouble!”
He squinted slightly, pondering over the situation of the Yellow Wind Monster in the neighboring Wusi Tibetan Empire.
The cultivation of this Yellow Wind Monster was only at Taiyi level, and both Black Bear Essence and Zhu Ganglie were at the same level.
Moreover, the majority of the Yellow Wind Monster’s combat power was concentrated in the Samadhi Divine Wind. As long as they could borrow the strength of Wind Lady, they could easily incapacitate half of its power.
Under these circumstances.
There was no way for the Yellow Wind Monster to turn the tables.
But.
The thing that Xuanqing worried about was not the Yellow Wind Monster itself but the possibility of being secretly thwarted by the people of Shimen when dealing with the beast.
That was why he had called Zhu Ganglie to assist. That way, they could quickly obliterate the beast before Shimen had a chance to react.
As he was contemplating deeply.
All of a sudden.
A crisp game notification sound echoed in his mind.
[Player has accumulated up to 200,000 points of incense, promoted to a regular seventh-grade Immortal Official!]
As the notification finished.
Since he was still within the game, he directly triggered the ‘Immortal Officers Promotion’ mechanism of the Heaven and Earth rules.
The next moment.
Hum hum-
Waves of divine rhythm emanated from his body.
At the same time.
The originally clear sky, devoid of any clouds, started changing; a layer of dark clouds began to gather above Black Wind Mountain.
Rumble-
Accompanied by a deafening thunderous roar.
[Taiji Right Palace Supervisor Immortal Official, Supreme Pure Department of Lushu Signing Books, Thunderclap Capital Affairs, Daoist Xuanqing, listen to the decree.]
[Because of his benefits to the public, his incense offerings have reached over 200,000, so he is promoted to: Taiji Left Palace in charge of Immortal Officer Shangqing Destiny Signing Secretary Leiting Commander, with a rank of Seventh Level!]
An incredibly familiar voice, an incredibly familiar presence.
Sure enough.
Xuanqing was already certain.
The promotion mechanism for immortal officials in this world might have strict restrictions for other immortals. Even if their points from the burning incense were sufficient, they might not necessarily be able to advance.
However, for him, it appeared to operate automatically according to the natural order; the promotion was instantaneous as soon as his incense offerings were sufficient.
“To accumulate 200,000 incense points so quickly, it seems the progress on the Real World side is quite good-”
Xuanqing murmured to himself in his mind.
Perfect timing.
The Ascension Banquet in the Game World had just finished, and there was no rush to deal with the Yellow Wind Monster, as it couldn’t run away anyway.
Next.
It was time to hang up for a serious cultivation session, train his Immortal Body to perfection, and only then could he break through to the next stage of cultivation.
He made a decision with a thought.
“Exit the game!”
