Hearing a familiar voice.

The two demons immediately regained their senses and focused their attention on Xuanqing’s body.

The two could feel that, although only ten days had passed, the aura of friend Xuanqing appeared even more stable than before.

Could this be the power of a human genius or a rebirth power of a mighty one?

“Friend Xuanqing has a very extraordinary talent and profound foundation. I am envious of your cultivation speed!”

“I feel the same.”

The envy in the eyes of the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She could hardly be concealed.

You should know that when these two demons were at the same cultivation stage as Xuanqing, it took them several years to see any progress in their cultivation.

Yet for Xuanqing, it was measured in ‘days’. Indeed, comparing one person to another can be frustrating, and even more so for a demon comparing oneself to a human.

“It’s just a small gain, not worth mentioning!”

However, Xuanqing smiled indifferently and waved it off.

After all, his main purpose was to go to the real world to exchange some silver with an accumulated wealth aura. The Hang-up Cultivation simply came along with it.

As for why he had to go to the real world to exchange his silver and not directly change it like he did with the glass cup from the beginning,

There simply wasn’t enough time.

You should know the meeting place of the Loose Cultivator Trade Fair was on a desolate outskirts. Even the nearest town would require riding on clouds for several days.

“Have both of you finished selling your wares?”

Seeing the idle two demons, Xuanqing looked a bit surprised.

Black Bear Essence shrugged: “My honey wine is exquisite, liked by all scattered monsters, and even many humans buy it.”

“My elixirs as well!” Gentleman Bai She added.

Hearing this, Xuanqing nodded understandably.

After all, cultivation resources are always in high demand, and he had tried Black Bear Essence’s honey wine before; its taste was indeed unparalleled.

“In that case, could the two of you please wait for a while longer? I will buy something and we can go back together. How does that sound?” Xuanqing said with a smile.

Actually, according to his original plan, he intended to buy silver from Zhu Ganglie and then deal with the thunderstruck wood in his hands. However, since the two demons had already finished selling their goods, he couldn’t let them keep waiting for him. His skin was not that thick!

“No hurry, take your time, friend Xuanqing. We will wait here for you!” Black Bear Essence patted his chest firmly as he spoke.

…..

Arriving at Zhu Ganglie’s stall.

At this moment, there was nobody in front of the stall. Zhu Ganglie was idly lying down, basking in the sun while holding a spiked rake.

He did not expect to receive worldly riches this time; he was just trying to spread the word so he could sell his items at the next Loose Cultivator Trade Fair.

While Zhu Ganglie was dozing, a voice entered his ears.

“King Gangling, I have already prepared the silver, are those three secret books still available?”

Zhu Ganglie opened his eyes and looked at the little Taoist in front of him with some surprise.

Did he really manage to get a thousand taels of silver?

“The secret books are still here, but I need to see the money first, and then I will give them to you!” Zhu Ganglie muttered.

“Here are a thousand taels of silver!” Xuanqing smiled slightly as he took out a portion of the silver from his game backpack.

As soon as the silver was taken out, Zhu Ganglie could feel an aura of wealth emanating from it. This money had definitely been circulating in the human world.

Zhu Ganglie grinned and laughed heartily, “Friend, you are a man of your word. This silver is filled with wealth, no problem. Here… your secret books.”

“Thank you, King Gangling.”

Xuanqing bowed slightly and picked up the secret books “Ingesting Qi Decision”, “Five Elements Formation”, and “Treading the Clouds” from the stall.

…..

Returning to the foot of the giant ancient tree.

Upon seeing this, Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Friend Xuanqing, did everything go smoothly?”

“Things went smoothly, thanks to the help of the two of you.” Xuanqing bowed his hands in gratitude once again.

Gentleman Bai She smiled modestly, “As wet birth creatures, we are fortunate to have the esteem of Daoist Priest Xuanqing. These small tasks are nothing to be polite about.”

“Indeed, indeed!”

Black Bear Essence laughed heartily and nodded in agreement, then suggested, “Shall we go back and take my Black Wind Ha?”

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

And so…

With the gusts of the Black Wind, Xuanqing once again experienced the feeling of ‘Swift as the Wind, Rapid as Lightning.’

Although modern society on Earth has airplanes and other such means of transportation, compared to this fleshly horizontal flight, there’s still something lacking in the sensation.

It’s worth mentioning that…

When they flew over a human town, Xuanqing had Black Bear Essence stop for a moment while he bought two sticks of candied haws, only then did they continue their journey.

After all, he’d been gone for so long; he had to bring a gift back for Fat Ya.

After they returned to Black Wind Mountain…

Black Bear Essence brought Xuanqing to the cave mansion in the Black Wind Mountain Range and then flew away on his demonic wind.

…

In the cave house…

Fat Ya, who was gnawing at her finger while reading a book, looked up to see her master had returned.

“Sir… you’re back~” Fat Ya exclaimed and ran over, throwing herself into Xuanqing’s arms.

Xuanqing gently stroked her hair, his eyes showing a rare softness.

With a thought, Xuanqing took the candied haws he had bought in the town out of his game backpack.

Seeing this…

“Ah… candied haws~”

Fat Ya’s eyes lit up, as if they were filled with twinkling stars.

Fat Ya grew up without her parents and was raised by her grandmother. She rarely had enough to eat, let alone the luxury of candied haws.

Every time she saw someone eating candied haws, Fat Ya would cover her face with her hand and quickly run away because she was afraid her saliva would flow out.

“You eat it slowly. I need to undergo closed-door cultivation for a while. Avoid disturbing me unless there’s an emergency!”

“Don’t worry, Sir. Fat Ya will be good.”

Fat Ya licked the candied haw and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

…

In the cultivation room of the cave mansion…

Recalling Fat Ya’s expression when eating the candied haw, Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh softly.

In her day-to-day life, understanding Fat Ya always made him unconsciously overlook the fact that she was just a child.

“When I return to Earth, I’ll bring this kid some snacks and toys.”

Xuanqing murmured softly.

Then…

He took out the three secret books he had purchased from Zhu Ganglie.

Among the secret books, “Ingesting Qi Decision” is for cultivating mana and is their main cultivation technique.

The other two secret books, “Five Elements Formation” and “Treading the Clouds,” are talisman and body technique secret books, respectively.

“‘Ingesting Qi Decision’ can be cultivated while hanging up, but should ‘Five Elements Formation’ or ‘Treading the Clouds’ be learned first?”

After thinking it over…

Xuanqing ultimately decided to practice “Treading the Clouds” first.

After all, in this world, it’s not the strongest attackers who are the biggest winners, but those who live long and can laugh at the end.

No time to waste. First, return to Earth and activate Hang-up Cultivation, then practice “Treading the Clouds”!
