The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

Chapter 253: Chapter 241: Carrot and Stick, About to Set Sail! 2

He thought to himself.

“Enter the game!”

Black Wind Mountain.

A young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and holding a duster in his hand opened his eyes. This was Xuanqing who had just logged into the Game.

With a wave of his right hand,

a neatly stacked pile of gold bricks appeared on the ground.

Huge wealth and Human Path destiny emanated from these gold bricks. A typical cultivator would be entangled in this cause and effect, doomed to encounter misfortune and a tragic death.

However,

his constitution allowed him to remain unaffected by these karmic riches.

Xuanqing sat down directly on the pile of gold.

With his thoughts,

“Draw the Gold Qi into the body-”

In an instant,

Xuanqing’s physical body seemed to turn into a water pump, producing a terrifying suction force. This suction drew the gold Qi from the gold bricks into his body incessantly, eventually refining it into his lungs.

As the gold Qi diminished,

the color of these gold bricks began to fade at a visible speed, eventually turning into a grayish-white color.

“Huh~”

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

He picked up a gold brick beneath him with his right hand and gently squeezed it. These grayish-white gold bricks seemed like ordinary rocks, easily crushed into fragments.

“It took a full ten tons of gold to complete the absorption of Gold Qi into my body. If I didn’t have the Real World… it would indeed be a bit troublesome!”

Xuanqing thought to himself.

Although the condensation of Gold Qi didn’t necessarily require gold and other basic materials like copper or iron would suffice, none could compare to the speed of cultivation or effectiveness of using gold.

“The lungs have completed their transformation and can now bear the Gold towards the Yuan.”

“So… next, I need to continue absorbing Gold Qi until the Golden Qi Chao Yuan is condensed!”

Afterward,

Xuanqing swept his duster, turning the gold bricks that had transformed into stone into dust. Then, he sprinkled the waste on the open space of Black Wind Mountain.

Immediately after,

countless gold bricks emerged from the Game Backpack and were laid on the ground, forming a small mountain.

“Continue refining!”

Xuanqing floated onto the small mountain made of gold bricks, sat cross-legged, and began the process of condensing the Golden Qi Chao Yuan.

Just like that,

Xuanqing entered closed-door cultivation. As the Gold Qi within the gold bricks was consumed, he took out more.

The cycle repeated!

Real World.

In the Conference Hall of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Yan Country,

Elder Jingde sat in a high position, with Elder Qianqing and Yang Ying sitting on either side of him.

Apart from them,

Twenty-two newly promoted Law Enforcement Division members… sat on either side of the hall, looking up at the three on the high platform.

“Now, more than 5,000 Taoist temples in the twenty-two provinces of Yan Country are fully prepared.”

“Your task is to maintain order in your respective territories. If any believers use supernatural powers to cause chaos, suppress them immediately!”

Elder Jingde’s expression was cold, and his voice was very serious.

Having followed Xuanqing for such a long time, he naturally understood what the palace lord needed and cared about the most.

Therefore, he would not allow any negligence in this matter, for he would not know how to face the palace lord’s kindness and trust.

“We will follow Elder Jingde’s orders!”

Below the platform,

the twenty-two Law Enforcement Division members responded in unison.

Seeing this,

Elder Jingde slightly nodded his head, and then, with a wave of his hand, condensed a large hand with Mana and grabbed the box beside him.

“Here are a thousand Sumeru bags, containing a total of one million array plate keys. You should distribute them according to…”

He explained the array plate keys and the cultivation matters in detail to the members of the Law Enforcement Division.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn’t believe that their palace lord was being so generous.

“I have told the palace lord that I guarantee these array plate keys will be distributed to those who have devout faith…”

At this point,

Elder Jingde’s eyes became sharp, and he said sternly: “I do not wish to see you make suicidal mistakes. Otherwise, without the palace lord’s intervention, I will destroy you.”

Everyone quickly lowered their heads and acknowledged his words.

Seeing this,

Elder Jingde nodded with satisfaction, his tone somewhat more relaxed, “Of course, I am not a pedantic person, and our Taoist sect also distinguishes between close and distant relationships.”

“So… I’ll grant each of you the privilege of freely distributing ten quotas to your close acquaintances!”

A big stick and a carrot ~

Although this technique is old-fashioned, it is very effective.

Not intending to cause chaos, everyone naturally wouldn’t dare after hearing these words.

When the Taoist sect does things… they don’t bother with evidence.

Even ordinary mortals can deduce many things through the Six Yao, let alone cultivators who have mana.

After the end of the meeting,

the twenty-two members of the Law Enforcement Division went their separate ways, each heading toward their respective province’s Dao Association and talcing charge of their territory.

Elder Jingde, Yang Ying, and Elder Qianqing, the three Taiji Hall elders, also left the conference room with smiles and laughter.

“Yang Ying, we will appreciate your hard work with the construction of the cultivation towers,” said Elder Jingde.

Yang Ying nodded confidently, replying, “In no more than two months, all Taoist temples will have cultivation towers built for practitioners who use the contemplation method.”

Hearing this,

Elder Jingde stroked his beard and smiled.

It should be noted that the so-called cultivation towers are mainly for those practitioners who use the contemplation method after starting the Human Path Cultivation.

After all,

practicing contemplation through prayer requires a quiet environment. The cultivation towers were their consensus after discussing among the three of them…

Each Taoist temple would have hundreds of cultivators, and if they don’t arrange things well, there would surely be problems, which the palace lord wouldn’t like to see.

So… they unanimously decided to build a cultivation tower specifically for cultivation in the inner courtyard of each Taoist temple!

By the side,

Elder Qianqing sighed with emotion, “We are getting busier and busier now.”

Even when he was a Heavenly Master, he wasn’t as busy as he is now. He still had time for fasting, chanting, meditating, and sitting in reflection every day.

“Haha, it’s good to be busy; being busy means we can help lighten the burden for the palace lord. If we truly become idle, we will probably feel nervous.”

Yang Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled.

At these words,

Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing looked at each other and nodded with laughter.

They had achieved what they had today thanks to the palace lord’s kindness. The reason the palace lord had bestowed his favors upon them was that they could share the burdens of these trivial matters with him.

If Yang Ying’s words were true and they were idling every day without doing anything, wouldn’t it mean they were worthless to the palace lord?

“Elder Yang Ying’s words are reasonable, but… in my opinion, the entire Yan Country will be in the whirlpool of a world storm,” said Elder Jingde with deep emotions, his gaze distant.

It seemed like he had already seen that in the years to come, the entire Yan Country and even the entire human world would undergo huge changes due to the cultivation path… and the opening of the Human Path.

And in this change, the Taoist sect would be the first to bear the brunt, and as the current controllers of the sect, they would naturally be at the very center of the whirlpool.

On the side,

Elder Qianqing also felt the same way, his expression somewhat somber.

Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit gloomy,

“Hehche-” Yang Ying laughed like silver bells and joked, “Elder Jingde, you just gave ten quotas to each member of the Law Enforcement Division in the main hall…”

“I wonder… if I have a quota?” Yang Ying raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly.

Hearing this,

Elder Jingde laughed and quickly said:

“Of course, we have been with the palace lord from the very beginning. As long as we carry out his commands, not to mention ten, even if there were a hundred, the palace lord wouldn’t mind.”

Yang Ying stuck out her tongue and waved her hands, “Elder, you’re joking! All I need is three quotas for my parents and a journalist friend!”

“Hahaha-”

Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing looked at each other and laughed heartily..
