After opening the comment section.

Most of them praised his pleasant voice and his elegant presence just from his silhouette, among which many comments expressed their desire to visit the Taoist temple to offer incense.

After reading the comments,

Xuanqing felt reassured.

It seemed that in the near future, this remote Taoist temple would welcome its first batch of incense guests. He wondered if he could meet some people of destiny then, so he could earn some human merit.

“The video is well-made; you’ve put in a lot of effort!” Xuanqing nodded appreciatively and returned the phone to her.

Receiving Xuanqing’s praise, Yang Ying was overjoyed.

For her, Daoist priest Xuanqing was not only her lifesaver but also a highly skilled expert with real Daoist magic.

“Thank you for your praise, Sir. It’s my duty.” Yang Ying shook her head with a smile and then said, “It’s getting late; I have to go down the mountain.”

Xuanqing looked at the dark sky and the damp surface. It was not a good choice to go down the mountain at this time.

“Why not stay for the night and go down the mountain tomorrow morning?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Sir, but my vacation is over, and I have to go back!” Yang Ying pursed her lips and said.

As an intern journalist, she had only one opportunity to ask for leave every month. If she’s late or absent without permission, not only would her salary be deducted, but her record would also be tainted.

Seeing this,

Xuanqing didn’t insist further.

He sent Yang Ying to the gate of the Taoist temple and reminded her once again to be careful on the slippery road in the dark before he closed the temple gate.

…

After returning to his bedroom,

Xuanqing couldn’t help but marvel at how useful the auto-training feature was, as he watched his game character with closed eyes practicing on his phone screen.

The next moment!

“Enter the game!”

…

Journey to the West World.

In a cave on Black Wind Mountain.

Xuanqing, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and exhaled a long turbid breath.

“Open personal panel!”

[Name]: Xuanqing

[Grade]: Taiji Palace Chosen Scholar: Right Magistrate of the Five Thunder Court, Conjoined with Thunder Administration Affairs (9th Rank)

[Cultivation]: Qi Introduction (Intermediate)

[Cultivation Method]: Basic Breathing Method (Passive)

[Ingot]: 51

Xuanqing checked his character panel – only 51 Ingots were left from the original 60.

After nearly ten days of cultivation, plus the assistance of elixirs, although there was still some distance to break through, his mana had increased considerably.

“This auto-training feature is really useful; I should use it more often in the future!” Xuanqing thought, feeling the surging mana in his Dantian.

While using the auto-training feature, his talents were fully displayed, and his cultivation speed was twice as fast as usual.

Afterwards,

he walked out of the stone door.

Before even stepping outside, he smelt a tempting aroma of cumin mixed with chili powder from the roast, and then saw Fat Ya grilling a rabbit at the entrance of the cave.

Here,

When Fat Ya heard the noise, he found out that his master had left his retreat and hurriedly put down what he was holding, excitedly rushing over.

“Sir, you’ve finished your cultivation!”

“I wondered why it smelled so good; it turned out that Fat Ya was grilling. Have you been cultivating diligently these days?” Xuanqing smiled and patted Fat Ya on the head.

Fat Ya shyly stuck out his tongue and then replied, “Fat Ya didn’t slack off. This rabbit was sent by a pitch-black uncle, who said he was your friend!”

A pitch-black uncle?

The first thing that came to Xuanqing’s mind was the Black Bear Essence, as it was the only one on Black Wind Mountain that had such a dark appearance.

“So Fellow Daoist Black Bear has been here before, did he leave any messages?”

“Yes, he said that after Sir comes out of seclusion, go to Black Wind Cave, there’s important business to discuss!” Fat Ya blinked her big eyes.

“Alright, you watch the cave mansion, I’ll go to Black Wind Cave!”

Having said that, Xuanqing left the cave mansion, leaving Fat Ya behind, pitifully biting her fingertips.

…..

On the other side.

Inside the Black Wind Cave.

In front of the stone table, the two demons Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She were drinking honey wine and talking about the Gathering of Cultivators that took place every five years.

“Little Brother Bai She, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing is mysterious with a deep background. Do you think he could be interested in our miserable Loose Cultivator Trade Fair?”

With a lack of confidence in his words, Black Bear Essence took a sip of wine and raised his head.

At his words.

Gentleman Bai She chuckled and shook his head.

“Not at all, not at all. A while ago, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing came to me and traded a Thunderstruck Wood for…”

“In my opinion, Daoist Xuanqing’s previous life might have been the reincarnation of some great power, but in this life, he is poor and destitute.”

Gentleman Bai She paused slightly, took a sip of the fragrant sweet honey wine, narrowed his eyes, and continued:

“Now is the best time for us to grab onto his thigh. Big Brother, don’t you want to join Buddhism and Taoism and have an official identity? This task… I’m afraid it falls on Daoist Xuanqing!”

Hearing these words.

Black Bear Essence abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with an uncertain gleam.

Upon analysis, it was indeed possible that Daoist Xuanqing could be a great power reincarnated from Taoism. If there came a day… wouldn’t he have a chance to get Taoist acknowledgment?

At this moment.

Suddenly.

There was a knock outside the cave.

“It must be Fellow Daoist Xuanqing who has come out of seclusion. I’ll go greet him!” Black Bear Essence muttered, hurrying to the cave entrance.

Gentleman Bai She at his side also hastily stood up and went to welcome him together.

….

Outside Black Wind Cave.

When the two demons saw Xuanqing, their eyes lit up.

It had only been a little over two months, but they found that Xuanqing’s cultivation level had improved significantly, without any hint of being unsteady.

“Haha, long time no see, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, your cultivation has increased!” Black Bear Essence laughed heartily, greeting warmly.

Xuanqing cupped his hands and said, “It’s all thanks to the elixirs I got from Fellow Daoist Bai She!”

After exchanging greetings.

One human and two demons entered the cave and sat down at the stone table.

Black Bear Essence added another wine cup and enthusiastically filled it with honey wine for Xuanqing, “Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, please have a taste of the honey wine I brewed!”

Xuanqing took a sip and found it sweet and refreshing, full of fragrance, truly a lingering aftertaste.

He didn’t expect that this seemingly rough Black Bear Essence would have such a superb brewing technique, truly a case of appearances being deceptive.

“Great wine, great wine~” Xuanqing gave a thumbs up.

Black Bear Essence chuckled, “As long as Fellow Daoist Xuanqing likes it.”

After exchanging pleasantries, they got to the point.action

“Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, the reason I gathered you here is to inform you of something.”

“The Loose Cultivator Trade Fair, which takes place every five years, is in three months. At that time, loose cultivators from thousands of miles around will gather, sharing what they have. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xuanqing would like to go together?” Black Bear Essence spoke solemnly.

A Loose Cultivator Trade Fair?

Xuanqing was slightly stunned.

It was like a pillow being sent just as he started to feel sleepy; he was just thinking about exchanging the three Thunderstruck Peach Wood in his backpack for cultivation resources when the trade fair was announced.
