“I shall go to the Loose Cultivator Trade Fair with the two of you!” Xuanqing smiled faintly and cupped his hands in greeting.
Upon hearing this.
Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She exchanged a glance.
As expected, although Daoist Xuanqing is said to have a profound background, he should not have much cultivation resources on him; otherwise, he wouldn’t be interested in the Loose Cultivator Trade Fair.
Gentleman Bai She seemed to be struck by a thought, “By the way, Xuanqing, have you used up those elixirs from the other day?”
“If you have, I still have some Solid Foundation and Nourishing Origin Pills left, you can take them first!”
After saying this, Gentleman Bai She pulled out several small porcelain bottles, containing Solid Foundation and Nourishing Origin Pills, which were superior to the Blood Enhancer Pills.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing smiled faintly, “Speaking of coincidence, I happened to come across a 600-year-old Thunderstruck Peach Wood some days ago, and I exchanged it with Dellow Daoist Bai She for these elixirs!”
600-year-old Thunderstruck Peach Wood?
Upon hearing this, the two demons were shocked.
In such a short period, Daoist Xuanqing had once again brought out thunderstruck wood, undoubtedly making them even more convinced of his identity as the reincarnation of a great ability.
“That’s fine, I’ll gladly take the 600-year-old Thunderstruck Peach Wood.”
Although Gentleman Bai She had already exchanged a 700-year-old Thunderstruck Peach Wood, this type of wood has a wide range of uses, and even if he doesn’t need it, he can trade it with others for materials.
After chatting for a while, Xuanqing proposed to take his leave.
The two demons immediately stood up to see him off.
“See you in three months, my friends!”
“Haha, take care, take care~”
….
Returning to his own cave mansion.
Xuanqing’s life returned to being peaceful.
He practiced in the morning, read scriptures at noon, and gave guidance to Fat Ya’s cultivation in the afternoon.

Every couple of weeks, he had to exit the Game and return to the real world to deal with his physical body’s needs, leading an enriching life.
Just like that.
Two months went by in a blink of an eye.
On this day.
Xuanqing, as usual, was seated in meditation, practicing the technique of breathing and nurturing Qi.
Suddenly.
A familiar mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
[Warm Reminder: There is a disturbance in the real world. Do you want to exit the game?]
“Huh?”
Xuanqing was slightly startled.
Could it be that someone had come to the Taoist temple in the real world?
“Exit the game!”
…
Real world.
Foot of Qingping Mountain.
A middle-aged man with a moustache and beard, leading five or six young men dressed in mountaineering clothes, chatted and laughed as they walked up the mountain.
They were members of the local mountaineering club, who, after watching Yang Ying’s video, felt a strong desire to come and offer incense.
Of course.
More importantly, they were particularly interested in the ‘Mysterious Taoist’ of Qingping Temple.
Although Duoyin’s video only had the voice and background of the ‘Mysterious Taoist,’ it gave people a feeling of a celestial and Daoist air.
“Do you think we can meet the Daoist Priest?”
“Who cares, this Taoist temple isn’t like a monastery where we need to ask for luck. If we don’t see the mysterious Taoist, we can just treat it as a sightseeing trip~”
“That’s right. After watching the video, I realized that temples and monasteries are different; monasteries are for monks, and temples are for gods.”
…
The members of the mountaineering team chatted idly as they continued their journey.
In no time.
Everyone arrived at the Taoist temple door.
Looking at the closed temple door, everyone looked at each other, wondering if they had just had the bad luck to come when the temple wasn’t open?
Just as they started worrying.
Giggle~
The door of the Taoist temple opened.
What appeared before their eyes was a young Taoist priest with a hairpin, dressed in a dark blue robe, with a gentle and elegant face.
What’s more, this young Taoist priest exuded a mysterious Daoist charm all over his body, which made people feel refreshed and calm at first glance.
They had never seen anyone with such a magical temperament before.
Even the mountaineering team members who had traveled all over the world and climbed numerous mountains couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune. Fellow laymen, have you come to the Taoist temple to offer incense?” Xuanqing asked with a kindly smile and a slight bow.
After hearing the voice that was almost the same as in the video with Duoyin.
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.
“Uh, yes, we’ve come to offer incense!”
The bearded mountain-climbing team leader hurriedly bowed and smiled.
For some reason.
In front of this young and unassuming Daoist Priest, the bearded team leader felt a mysterious sense of shame, which was really strange.
“Please come in!”
Xuanqing smiled and nodded, making a gesture of invitation.
It had only been a few days since Yang Ying’s last visit to the mountain when there were really laymen coming to the Taoist temple to offer incense, it seemed that the video effect was quite good.
It is said that people compete for their breath, and Buddhas accept incense for thirty minutes. It’s a good opportunity to see if the real world can give birth to Faith Merit.
Just like that.
Xuanqing walked unhurriedly ahead.
The mountaineering team members, on the other hand, followed cautiously behind him.
Like the bearded captain, they always felt a sense of self-conscious shame in front of Xuanqing, which was why they showed such an attitude.
In fact.
It’s not surprising that this situation occurs.
As the saying goes, “the power of God is like a prison, and the grace of God is like an ocean.” Xuanqing, who already has mana, is fundamentally different from mortals in some ways.
Entering the main hall.
Xuanqing pointed to the table in the corner, “The incense on the table is two yuan a bunch. Give three sticks of incense to the gods, and nine sticks to the Three Pure Ones. Don’t get it wrong!”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel surprised.
In this day and age, a big bunch of incense is sold for only two yuan, which is even cheaper than buying it at a convenience store.
The bearded captain couldn’t help but think of the time when he went to a real monk temple and spent two hundred yuan to buy a stick of incense.
“Our Daoist School is really honest!” The bearded team leader sighed with emotion.
Afterward.
The mountaineering team members bought several bundles of incense, each taking out nine sticks, and finally knelt on the cushion in front of the Three Pure Ones.
“Great Three Pure Ones, please bless me…uh…bless me with great wealth.”
“Great Three Pure Ones above…”
…
Just as the mountaineering team members were burning incense and praying.
Xuanqing’s gaze was fixed on the statue of the Three Pure Ones.
After a while.
When most of the young mountaineers had finished offering incense, there was still no sign of any abnormality on the statue of the Three Pure Ones.
Just as Xuanqing was wondering if it was impossible for faith incense fire to be born in modern society.
The bearded middle-aged mountaineering team leader offered incense.
As he saw the bearded middle-aged man, with both hands holding incense, respectfully kneeling down in front of the Three Pure Ones.
One bow~
Two bows~
It was not until the ninth bow.
A wisp of faint white smoke emerged from the top of the bearded middle-aged man’s head, mixed with the smoke burning from the incense in his hand.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing’s spirit was lifted.
With his mana, he could clearly sense that this wisp of faint white smoke contained a strange power.
This…should be faith incense fire.
