Chapter 179 - 178: Sharpening the axe won’t interfere with chopping wood! [Ask for monthly tickets]
As if unlocking the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.
How much understanding one could temporarily increase in that state depended on whether their physical body could handle it.
Just as a small horse couldn’t pull a big carriage, forcing it to do so would only hurt both the horse and the person.
“Apart from the infinite enhancement, this Chaos Merit Holy Body can also elevate my physical body to its limit, which is quite terrifying.”
A glimmer of brilliance flickered in Xuanqing’s eyes.
When anything reaches its limit, it is a frightening thing. For reference, the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom enhances understanding to the limit that the physical body can withstand, allowing one to glimpse a little of it.
“However, the reason why the Chaos Merit Holy Body enhances the strength of the physical body is that it passively absorbs the energy of the Endless Void!”
“To elevate the physical body to the limit that the God Soul can withstand probably requires a long time.”
“If I want to speed up the process, I can only use time acceleration,” Xuanqing muttered softly.
[Time Acceleration (Integration of Void Stage)]: Unrestricted by species, it allows the target of Integration of Void Stage Realm and below to perform time acceleration.
He had relied on this function to refine the Chaos Pill, which originally took eighty-one years, in just a few years, ultimately achieving the Chaos Merit Holy Body.
After making the decision in his heart.
However, Xuanqing did not immediately use time acceleration, because the incense in the real world had accumulated for almost two months, and it was time to harvest it.
Moreover, the Gathering Qi Beads in the Taoist academies outside Changling City had not been replaced for a long time, and he could not afford to waste any more time.
“Exit the game!”
Real world.
Qingping Temple.
Almost two months had passed between the cultivation without the awareness of time and the blooming and falling of flowers.
Xuanqing opened his eyes, awakening from the game world.
“Huh-”
After returning to the real world, thanks to the time ratio relationship between the two worlds, he could clearly feel that his physical body was rapidly increasing in strength.
“I wonder if the Ginseng Fruit Tree can be transplanted into the real world,” Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
However.
When he recalled that it required a hundred thousand Heavenly Merits to redeem the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he stopped thinking about it and instead used the Immortal Official Document hanging from his waist.
“Qingyun…come quickly!”
Moments later.
The ground squirmed, and a little Taoist Boy crawled out.
“Sir, are we going to change the Gathering Qi Beads?” Huai Qingyun asked first, apparently knowing his mission well after so many trips.
Upon hearing this,
“No hurry to change the Gathering Qi Beads, I’ll help you improve your cultivation first!”
Xuanqing shook his head and said indifferently.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the work of chopping wood.
His god tablets were now spread across the entire Yan Country, and given Huai Qingyun’s current realm, at most he could only move within the range of Changling City. This was already a bit out of sync with the pace.
Fortunately, he had ‘Time Acceleration (Integration of Void Stage)’ and some Ginseng Fruits, which could be used to forcefully enhance his cultivation. Raising his cultivation?
Huai Qingyun was slightly stunned, but then he realized that Sir was going to help him improve his cultivation. He was a mix of surprise and joy.
Thump-
“Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir-”
After bowing nine times in a row, he finally stood up, the excitement in his eyes not fading for a long time.
There was no Spiritual Qi in the real world. As an Earth Deity, he didn’t have much incense, so there was no other way to improve his cultivation besides Sir’s rewards.
“Alright, don’t be like this among our people. Stand over here!”
“Yes!”
Huai Qingyun nodded vigorously and came to Sir’s side.
Immediately after that.
Old Master stretched out a hand and placed it on his head, and then an indescribable fluctuation emerged.
Gurgle Gurgle-
The divine power within him trembled, instantly being absorbed by his flesh and god soul, leaving the inside feeling empty and weak.
“Don’t be stunned. Quickly, eat this ginseng fruit!”
Huai Qingyun realized that there was a ginseng fruit floating in front of him and hurriedly swallowed it in one bite.
After the ginseng fruit entered his body, it turned into a boundless Chaotic Qi. Under the effect of time acceleration, it quickly nourished his flesh and increased his mana.
Moments later.
The time acceleration effect ended.
Upon calculating,
He had already consumed two ginseng fruits on Huai Qingyun’s body. If those loose cultivators in the Game World found out about it, they would be envious to the point of tears.
“Do you think you can completely escape from your body’s constraints now?” Xuanqing asked solemnly.
He had just spent a year… a year of using time acceleration, used it a total of ten times, and consumed a thousand Ingots just to let Huai Qingyun passively absorb the ginseng fruit.
“Sir, I feel great now, I can go wherever I want!”
Huai Qingyun’s cheeks flushed with excitement.
Being able to get rid of the shackles of the body meant that he could serve Master better, and thus make him more fond of him. It would be easier to get rewards and enter a positive cycle.
“Good, excellent!”
Xuanqing said three times, praising Huai Qingyun with a pat on the shoulder.
With a thought,
A Sumeru bag appeared in his hand.
“Qingyun, since you have completely freed yourself from the shackles of your body, I will assign you an important task!”
“In this bag are the Small Five Elements Cycle Formation, Soul-calming Jade Talisman, Serenity Jade Talisman, and the indispensable Gathering Qi Bead!”
As he spoke,
Xuanqing took out a map, depicting the entire Yan Country’s twenty-two provinces, including the location map of the 423 Taoist temples, including Changling City.
In addition to the eighty-one Taoist temples in Changling City, there were still three hundred and forty-two left that hadn’t been equipped with Gathering Qi Beads.
“Sir, should I go and install the Gathering Qi Beads in the Taoist temples outside Changling City now?” asked Huai Qingyun.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing waved his hand.
“Not yet. First, replace the Gathering Qi Beads in the eighty-one Taoist temples, then bring Elder Jingde to me. I will explain the follow-up matters.” “Yes, sir!”
Huai Qingyun nodded his head.
Soon after,
His figure transformed into a stream of light, leaving Qingping Temple with a speed several times faster than before.
Looking at the direction in which his disciple left,
Xuanqing nodded his head in satisfaction.
As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. With this speed increase, the efficiency of work will naturally be even higher.
It’s worth mentioning that,
He did not let Huai Qingyun install the Gathering Qi Beads in the remaining Taoist temples immediately because two months had passed since the Daoist Door Reform.
Under such circumstances, the construction of new Taoist temples in various places must have reached its final stage. Even if they were installed now, they’d probably have to be reinstalled in a few days. There was simply no need for it.
Two days later.
Huai Qingyun walked into the room with the replaced Gathering Qi Beads, followed by Elder Jingde.
“Master!”
“Palace Lord!”
