Real World.

Qingping Temple.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

“Huh~”

He spent a full two months in the Journey to the West World, while in real life, it had only been six days.

“Activate Hang-up Cultivation!”

[Ding~ Hang-up Cultivation activated successfully!]

[Friendly reminder: During Hang-up Cultivation, 1 Ingot will be consumed per game day. If the balance is insufficient, the function will be automatically exited.]

Even when back in reality, he could still receive prompts from the system in his mind.

The picture on the phone also began to change.

On the screen.

Originally sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, the character woke up from a coma and immediately entered a state of serenity.

In an instant.

The mana in his Dantian was growing at a visible speed.

“Hiss~”

Xuanqing was astonished.

Why using Hang-up Cultivation had such a terrifying effect? The cultivation speed was almost close to his own twenty times the speed.

“According to the time flow of the two worlds, why is it twenty times?”

At the same time as being shocked, he was also puzzled.

Hanging up in the real world for a minute, the character in the game practiced for ten minutes, which should only be ten times by any calculation.

Xuanqing’s eyes were fixed on the character in the game.

After careful observation for a long time.

Finally.

He found the problem.

It turned out that after using the Hang-up Cultivation feature, the game character, under the control of the system, would practice in a manner most compatible with the physical body.

In this state, the speed at which the game character absorbs and transforms Spiritual Qi would greatly increase, reaching twice the speed of daily practice, which is reasonable.

After figuring this out.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but contemplate.

It seems that when closing the door for cultivation in the future, try to return to reality and then activate the [Hang-up Cultivation] function.

This not only allows him to escape from the dull practice, but also the cultivation speed is twice as much as normal practice.

Hang-up cultivation requires consumption of ingots, and obtaining ingots requires recharging merits.

“After making the Thunderstruck wood this time and exchanging for some resources, I need to find a way to get Human Merit. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go down the mountain and travel, I can’t just stay in the Taoist temple.”

Xuanqing felt the rapidly growing mana and had already made a decision in his heart.

…..

After watching the character in the game hanging up for a while.

Xuanqing started getting busy.

First, he put the extra lightning rods in the Taoist temple into the game backpack, and then headed towards the top of Qingping Mountain.

Upon reaching the summit!

A shovel appeared in Xuanqing’s hand.

Swish, swish~

With the blessing of mana, he turned into a merciless excavator, easily digging up the soil around him.

Soon, an elliptical pit with a diameter of two meters was dug.

After digging the pit, he did not stop, but continued to dig two slightly smaller pits next to it.

This time.

He spent a long time searching on Black Wind Mountain and found one thousand-year peach wood and two six to seven hundred years old peach wood.

In the Journey to the West World, due to the environment, trees that are thousands of years old are more likely to develop spiritual senses and become spirits.

This is also the reason why the thousand-year thunderstruck wood is precious. The ‘thousands of years without becoming a spirit’ is hard to come by, let alone being ‘thunderstruck,’ which makes it even more precious.

With a thought.

Opening the game backpack.

He took out the three peach wood.

And at the top of each peach wood, a lightning rod was tied to maximize the probability of attracting lightning in the upcoming thunderstorms.

“One thousand-year, two six to seven hundred-year, all made into thunderstruck wood, I wonder how many cultivation resources can be exchanged in the Journey to the West World?”

Xuanqing felt a little expectant in his heart.

He had already trimmed the massive roots of the three peach trees, and since they would eventually be struck by lightning, he didn’t need to worry about whether the injuries were severe or not. If they could survive a few days until the thunderstorm, it would be enough.

It took him the whole afternoon to finish all the work.

…..

The next day.

The gloomy sky made people feel extremely depressed, indicating that a thunderstorm was about to arrive.

It has to be said.

With the advancement of technology, the weather forecasts are now very accurate. Although they cannot precisely calculate the rainfall, they can correctly predict whether it will be a sunny or rainy day.

“Go and watch the thunderstruck wood!”

Xuanqing looked at the sky and whispered softly.

Although he had already witnessed the birth of thunderstruck wood once, watching this kind of thing was never boring to Xuanqing.

Before leaving the Taoist temple, he locked the door. This was not to prevent thieves in the wild mountains, but to avoid being damaged by the upcoming storm.

Arriving at the summit.

Whoosh~

The fierce wind howled.

If it weren’t for the reinforcement, the three peach trees might have been knocked down by the wind before the lightning struck.action

At this moment.

Xuanqing stood dozens of meters away from the peach trees, quietly watching them with anticipation, waiting for the arrival of the thunderstorm.

…..

…..

On the other side!

At the foot of the mountain.

A girl in a tracksuit, carrying a backpack, and wearing a ponytail carefully walked on the narrow stone steps.

“Sigh, it’s so hard to get a leave, and it’s approved on such a rainy day!” Yang Ying sighed with a worried expression.

That’s right.

This girl who returned to Qingping Mountain was none other than the intern journalist Yang Ying who had been here before!

Ever since Xuanqing’s talisman saved her life, she had always wanted to return the favor.

Her grandmother had taught her that although one should not seek to repay hatred with kindness, they must know to repay kindness with kindness and show gratitude with their actions.

“I hope Daoist Priest Xuanqing accepts these 50,000!” Yang Ying touched the backpack behind her, thinking like this.

The recent graduate didn’t have such an amount of money, so she had to scrape it together and overdraft from a borrowing app.

Drip~

A drop of water fell from the sky.

Yang Ying took a raincoat out of her backpack and put it on.

Although wearing a raincoat might not be very comfortable, it was much safer than an umbrella in the mountains with strong crosswinds.

Rainy day and strong winds!

Yang Ying walked slowly, taking more than two and a half hours to reach the Qingping Temple on the hillside.

However.

The main gate of the Taoist temple was locked, and it was locked from the outside, which clearly meant that Daoist Priest Xuanqing was not inside.

Seeing this scene.

Yang Ying’s mouth twitched slightly.

Before coming to the temple, she did send a message to Daoist Priest Xuanqing, but she never received a reply. So she came here in person to try her luck, but she didn’t expect this.

For a moment.

Yang Ying was a bit at a loss.

….

Afterward.

She waited for two hours at the entrance of the Qingping Temple but still didn’t see Xuanqing come back.

Just as Yang Ying prepared to leave.

Suddenly.

A voice as gentle as jade sounded behind her.

“Miss Yang Ying?”
