Chapter 35 - 34: Incense Pearl? Gathering Qi Bead?
Chapter 35 - 34: Incense Pearl? Gathering Qi Bead?
As Xuanqing looked at the group of land gods,
A childish voice was heard.
"Sir, this grandpa looks very familiar!"
Fat Ya was seen biting her finger, pointing to the gorgeously dressed and rosy-faced Black Wind Town Land God with her finger.
Upon hearing this, memories of when Xuanqing first arrived at Black Wind Town came to mind.
He knew why Fat Ya felt familiar. The last time he went to the slums of Black Wind Town, he wanted to brush up some human merits, but was stopped by this land god.
It was precisely because of this that he and Fat Ya had the fate to be together, accepting such a sensible and lovely child.
At this moment,
After hearing Fat Ya's speech,
The land god of this small town showed a bitter smile.
"Superior Immortal, I was truly helpless about the past incident. I hope you can forgive me."
Having said that,
The Black Wind Town Land God took out a bead from his bosom.
"Little God has prepared an Incense Pearl as a congratulatory gift especially for the superior immortal, wishing you eternal happiness."
An incense pearl?
The other three land gods looked at each other and saw their surprise in each other's eyes.
The wealth of the town's land gods surpasses that of ours in the countryside. They even send such treasures as incense pearls as congratulatory gifts.
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing slightly turned his eyes and asked, "You tell me, what is this incense pearl?"
"Reporting to the superior immortal, this treasure is made of jade and engraved with formations. It can be placed on the divine statue to automatically absorb incense smoke, preventing the waste of incense."
"Automatic absorption of incense smoke?"
Xuanqing's heart moved.
Speaking of that,
At Qingping Temple on Earth, there should be no lack of incense.
But if he wants to collect it and exchange it for ingots, he must always keep guard inside the main hall. Otherwise, the incense faith hovering around the divine statue will begin to disperse automatically within an hour or two.
If there is this 'Incense Pearl' and it is placed on his divine tablet, doesn't that mean he doesn't need to keep watch in the main hall?
With this in mind,
"Alright, I indeed fancy this object, and I will accept it!"
Xuanqing's mouth curled into a smile, and his mood was incredibly good.
Once again, the other three land gods looked at each other, and then they started rummaging around in their bodies.
"As gods of the mountains and countryside, we cannot compare with the wealth of the town. We have prepared only some mountain treasures, please forgive us, Superior Immortal!"
Black Wind Mountain's Land God: Branches of five-thousand-year-old peach wood.
Azure Dragon Mountain Land God: Four hundred years ginseng.
Black Dragon Pool's Water God: A sheet of Jiao skin.
"Thank you for your kind intentions; I will accept them all!" Xuanqing smiled slightly and accepted these items.
He is now penniless, but these items are just what he needs.
It could be seen that these land gods had done their homework in private, knowing what he needed now.
The five-thousand-year-old peach wood branches could be made into a duster, while the Jiao skin could be made into a set of Taoist robes.
And that four-hundred-year-old ginseng could be handed over to Gentleman Bai She to help refine a batch of elixirs to enhance cultivation, each one being extremely practical.
On this side,
The four land gods waited until their supervisor had accepted everything before they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"We, the little gods, won't disturb the superior immortal!"
"Alright!"
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
After receiving permission, the four land gods left using their divine techniques.
.....
He watched a group of little gods leave.
Xuanqing returned to the cave mansion.
Fat Ya quickly came over and curiously asked, "Sir, who are those grandpas, and why are they giving you gifts?"
"Hmm..." Xuanqing pondered and then said leisurely, "They, are the immortals of the land, managing a territory."
"Ah... I've only heard of immortals in heaven, but there are also immortals on earth." Fat Ya exclaimed in surprise.
Then the girl seemed to think of something, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Those grandpas are all immortals, and they still give you gifts, aren't you the great immortal, an immortal from heaven?"
"Hehe~"
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.
His eyes were deep, his gaze seemed to look through the window of the cave mansion at the azure sky outside, as if gazing at the starry ocean.
"Fat Ya, you go and practice, I have something to do!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Seeing that Sir had important matters, Fat Ya obediently nodded and left the room.
After Fat Ya left,
Xuanqing looked at the harvest this time.
He took the 'Jiao skin,' 'Ginseng,' 'Peach wood branch,' and 'Incense pearl' out of the System Backpack respectively.
He focused his attention on the Jiao skin.
[Jiao Skin]: The skin shed by a 500-year-old water snake while transforming into a Jiao; smooth and soft, not contaminated by dust, nor afraid of fire.
"The Black Dragon Pool Water God is interesting, even giving his own shed skin as a congratulatory gift to me!"
Xuanqing smiled slightly, feeling quite amusing.
But on second thought, maybe it was because the Black Dragon Pool was poor and remote, and there was nothing else impressive beside some fish and grass.
He touched the Jiao skin.
A refreshing yet not cold touch, it would be perfect to make a Taoist robe, but unfortunately, he didn't know any cultivators who could forge it.
"I'll have to ask Fellow Daoist Black Bear and Fellow Daoist Bai She later, and if they can't help, I'll have to wait for the next Loose Cultivator Trade Fair."
He looked at the Ginseng.
[Spirit Ginseng]: Four hundred years ginseng, containing a huge amount of energy, it is poisonous to the weak if they eat it.
This ginseng was larger than a white radish, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance that refreshed the spirit upon smelling it.
This thing needs to be refined into an elixir to fully utilize its medicinal effects.
He looked at the next item.
[Peach Branch]: A branch from a five-thousand-year-old peach tree, carrying it with you can calm your Qi and concentrate your spirit, and also has the effect of warding off evil and exorcising demons.
"The handle of the duster can be made from this item, but I have to think carefully about what material to use for the whisk part."
He kept the peach branch.
His gaze fell on the last treasure.
The Incense pearl.
When the Black Wind Town Land God took out this item, the other three Land Gods showed obvious astonishment.
He didn't have the opportunity to take a closer look outside with so many people, but now that he was alone in the cave mansion, it was time to examine it carefully.
This kind of behavior was similar to pretending not to care when receiving a red envelope, putting it in a pocket, but secretly excitedly opening it later and counting how much there was.
"Huh?"
"Is it really this thing?" Xuanqing's expression was somewhat astonished.
He thought that the thing that surprised the other three Land Gods and could automatically absorb incense was indeed a good treasure.
[Gathering Qi Bead]: Made from Jade, engraved with a Gathering Spirit Formation, and has the effect of gathering spiritual Qi, can be used to speed up cultivation.
This so-called jade is actually jade from the Earth side.
And the process of making this so-called Incense pearl was carving jade into a bead and then engraving a gathering spirit formation on the jade bead.
Moreover!
This bead wasn't called an 'Incense pearl', its real name should be [Gathering Qi Bead], which is generally used by cultivators to accumulate spiritual Qi and accelerate cultivation.
