The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

With a humming sound, the machine started operating.

The vacuum chamber lid was closed, and the air inside was sucked out in an instant, followed by the connection of the transmission pipeline and the vacuum chamber.

Humming-

The centrifuge in the middle spun, generating a pulling force, evenly dividing the gas released by the Ginseng Fruits in the vacuum chamber into dozens of glass tubes.

At the beginning of the production line, the densely packed grooves formed many translucent, crystalline spheres.

Finally.

The produced spheres, containing a faint Chaotic Qi, rolled down the transport chute and into the receiving glass bowl.

One round of production’s command sequence was completed.

Machine stopped!

The two of them came to the front part of the machine, next to the final product receiving glass bowl and picked up a single sphere.

Although it’s called a Life Extension Capsule, its round shape has nothing to do with capsules; instead, it’s more like an elixir.

“Palace Lord, how about we call this item Life Extension Pill?” Elder Jingde hesitated for a moment and asked.

“Approved!”

Xuanqing nodded, agreeing with the other party’s suggestion.

He wasn’t good at naming things, after all, it was a cultivation item, so calling it a Life Extension Capsule was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

“Palace lord, what’s the effect of this Life Extension Pill? How much can it extend one’s life, and will the effect weaken over time?” Elder Jingde curiously asked.

Hearing this.

Xuanqing picked up the glass sphere.

He then wrapped it with his Divine Thought, sensing the degree of leakage of the faint Chaotic Qi within it.

In his perception.

The faint Chaotic Qi inside remained obediently in place, while the edible organic glass used for packaging was slowly decomposing by itself over time.

A moment later.

“If an ordinary mortal takes it, it can extend their life by about four to six years, depending on their physical condition.”

“Around the third year, the effect will gradually weaken, and eventually lose its effect completely,” Xuanqing explained.

When these words were spoken.

Elder Jingde let out a sigh of relief.

A full three years was already longer than the shelf life of most foods and medicines, more than enough.

“Congratulations to Palace Lord, with this item, you don’t have to worry about worldly wealth in the future!”

Elder Jingde smiled and said with a bow.

“Alright, leave the production of this to me, and as for how to turn it into money in the follow-up, I’ll leave it to you.”

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

He was a person who disliked trouble. Whether it was hiring Yang Ying, enlightening Huai Qingyun, or taking in Elder Jingde as a spokesperson, it was all for more convenient access to resources.

“Palace Lord, rest assured, leave it to me!”

“By the way, Palace Lord, can I take some Life Extension Pills with me now?” Elder Jingde considered and asked:

“On one hand, they can be used to deal with the Taoist Association, Changling City various institutions, and on the other hand, they can also promote the effect of Life Extension Pills.”

“You can!”

Xuanqing nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that items like Life Extension Pills would definitely not be disclosed in the early stage and could only circulate among the upper class of society.

Plus, once the relocation of all the Taoist temples in Changling City happened, which would be a significant event, there would undoubtedly be considerable resistance. With the Life Extension Pills to pave the way, everything would be much smoother.

Afterward.

The machine started up again.

Elder Jingde took several hundred Life Extension Pills before leaving Qingping Mountain.

“Palace Lord, 1 must take my leave now, I will handle the relocation of the Taoist temples.”

“Go ahead!”

Xuanqing nodded.

After Elder Jingde left.

He called Huai Qingyun over, taught him how to operate and use the machine, and handed over the production task of Life Extension Pills to the diligent child.

As for Xuanqing himself, he naturally returned to the Taoist temple to continue the cultivation of the 36 Heavenly Gangs.

Cultivation is like going against the current, you have to keep moving forward, or you’ll fall behind!

Meanwhile.

Elder Jingde, with several hundred Life Extension Pills in hand, was busy going around dealing with the arrangements.

Finally, the paperwork for the relocation of Changling City Taoist temples was settled, and the project was named ‘Promotion of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Culture in Changling City.’

Of course.

Although the paperwork was done, the specific number of relocations depended not only on the approval of relevant departments but also on the willingness of the palace lords of each Taoist temple.

So Elder Jingde informed all the palace lords of the Taoist temples within the scope of Changling City to attend a meeting at Changling City Taoist Association.

One week later.

Changling City Taoist Association conference hall.

Elder Jingde stood at the podium, looking down at the seats below.

More than one hundred Taoists wearing Taoist robes and shoes sat in the hall, of various ages, some alone, and some with their children.

That’s right.

A total of eighty-one Taoist temples under the management of the Taoist Association had just over a hundred people – on average, there weren’t even two people per temple.

“It’s not easy for the Taoist School!”

Elder Jingde lamented in his heart.

The development of their Taoist school was too uneven, with rich Taoists being incredibly wealthy and poor Taoists living in poverty, a polarized divide.

At this moment.

The entire venue was very quiet.

All the Taoists stared at Elder Jingde on the podium.

It’s worth mentioning that.

The reason they attended this meeting, besides the summoning of Changling City Taoist Association, was that each participating Taoist temple would receive a subsidy of ten thousand yuan.

They may be poor, but the Taoist masters still need to eat. Relying solely on the few hundred yuan subsidy every month could make life difficult.

Fellow Daoist Friends, Elder Jingde called this meeting to discuss the development and reform of the Taoist school.”

With a solemn expression on his face, Elder Jingde continued.

“Over the years, due to our Taoist school’s free and uncontentious nature, we have gradually become strangers in the hearts of the people.”

“If we allow this trend to continue, who will remember us in a few decades?”

“Given the current situation, I believe that the only way for our Taoist school to save itself is to change, to come down from the mountains, get closer to the people, and cultivate our hearts through worldly experiences.”

Most cultivators have a clear-hearted and desirous nature. Although they don’t consider money as dung, they don’t take it too seriously either.

So he didn’t start by using money as a bargaining chip, as that would only make all the Taoists resentful.

Sure enough.

After hearing Elder Jingde’s words.

An elderly Taoist with somewhat cloudy eyes stood up.

“Chairman Jingde, it’s not difficult to come down from the mountain, but how can we survive at the foot of the mountain? Are we supposed to learn from those monks and ask for alms from the people?”

As soon as he said this.

It happened to voice the concerns of the more than one hundred Taoists present.

Indeed-

If they were willing to open the “door of convenience” to the people like the Buddhist monks, their wealth-gathering speed would definitely surpass that of Buddhism.

But the key is that, with their Taoist temperament, they would rather be poor themselves than do such things.

Seeing this scene.

Elder Jingde smiled faintly.

“Fellow Daoists, you don’t have to worry about this problem!”
