Beyond practicing.
Another point is that if he goes to be conferred now, something like last time might happen again. He might be promoted again during the conferment.
Moreover, it only requires forty billion accumulated incense to advance from second rank to standard second rank.
This number might seem insurmountable for him before, but for the current Taoist… It is a very easy task.
To be aware.
With the huge population of the Great Yan Kingdom, the more it develops, the more Ingots they obtain every day.
Added with: one day in heaven equals one year on earth.
Even if converted to the Real World, if one day has passed in the Heavenly Court, a full month has passed on earth.
Under this circumstance.
Xuanqing has a feeling.
When he is in the closed-door cultivation of Five-element Wood Qi Chaoyuan in the Heavenly Court’s Flat Peach Garden, by the time his cultivation ends, his Taoist immortal rank might have been promoted several grades.
Then… going to Lingxiao Bao Hall for a one-time conferment that can save time and effort…wouldn’t that be better?
“Practice, practice!”
A spark is shown in Xuanqing’s eyes.
However.
He didn’t keep sitting cross-legged, instead, he went under a nine-thousand-year flat peach tree and picked a nine-thousand-year flat peach from the tree.
The reason for that.
It is because the following congealing of the Five-elements Wood Qi Chaoyuan, unlike the previous Wood Qi channeling, requires the consumption of the Ether Wood Essence in vast quantities.
In this case, the dispersed Ether Wood Essence in the air isn’t sufficient.
Crunch-
Swallowing a mouthful.
The juice filled his whole mouth and a different but equally delicious flavor, compared to the Ginseng Fruit, flowed from the tip of the tongue to his mind.
“Whew-”
Xuanqing widened his eyes, indescribable in enjoying the unique superb flavor.
Therefore!
No wonder the nine-thousand-year flat peach can be ranked as the same level of delicacy as the Ginseng Fruit.
Putting aside the effectiveness of both, judging from the flavor only, this nine-thousand-year flat peach… isn’t worse than Ginseng Fruit, and even has a smoother texture.
Of course.
Apart from the superb taste, after swallowing this peach, it turned into vast Ether Wood Essence, nourishing Xuanqing’s physical body.
“Go!”
Xuanqing manipulated the Ether Wood Essence in his body, absorbed it into his liver, and moments later… it condensed into a thread of Wood Qi Chaoyuan.
A nine-thousand-year flat peach only transformed to one thread of Wood Qi Chaoyuan.
To fill the whole liver with it, the number of nine-thousand-year flat peaches required, will undoubtedly be an enormous figure.
Thankfully.
He pondered about this issue before starting his cultivation, that was why he went to the Real World and harvested enough Ingots. Only then he came to the Heavenly Court equipped with abundant preparation.
He whisked the held duster.
The tail of the duster transforms into myriad threads, enveloping the nine-thousand-year flat peach tree.
Whoosh-
Splash-
Thousands of nine-thousand-year flat peaches were swept down by the duster like a raining shower, then suspended in the air.
Upon seeing this.
Xuanqing opened his mouth wide, with a suction force, swallowed dozens of nine-thousand-year flat peaches into his belly in a single gulp.
Bang-
Dozens of nine-thousand-year flat peaches turned into an enormous Ether Wood Essence and exploded inside Xuanqing’s body after initially engulfing.
Facing such a massive Ether Wood Essence, an ordinary cultivator would explode to death in an instant.
However.
Xuanqing remained calm and composed, his demeanor didn’t fluctuate at all.
He embodies the Chaos Morality Holy Body. Compared to the turbulent power of Chaos Energy, this Ether Wood Essence, though it’s somewhat plentiful, doesn’t amount to much in comparison.
“Refine!”
Xuanqing muttered a word in his heart, then closed his eyes, began to whole-heartedly refine the power from the nine-thousand-year flat peaches.
On another side.
Above Nine Heavens.
In the Golden Palace of Clouds.
The Jade Emperor, who was inspecting some scenes through the Vast Sky Realm, opened his mouth in disbelief, almost dropping the nine-thousand-year flat peach in his hand to the ground.
“Whew!”
The Jade Emperor couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
The reason he, the Emperor Haotian who governed the Three Realms, was so astonished, was naturally because… he saw Xuanqing eating the nine-thousand-year flat peaches in the scenes projected by the Vast Sky Realm.
At this moment.
The Jade Emperor looked at the nine-thousand-year flat peach in his hand, which he was eating slowly because he couldn’t bear to finish it all at once.
Then he looked at the scenes reflected by the Vast Sky Realm again.
The rascal swept the fruit off an entire peach tree with one brush of the duster.
To the Jade Emperor.
When he brushed past the peach tree, he was not only brushing on the peach tree but also brushing his heart.
“This rascal, such a way of eating, can hardly taste the flavor, It’s a terrible waste, a terrible waste…sigh~”
The Jade Emperor sighed in a low tone.
He suddenly felt that the nine-thousand-year flat peach in his hand, didn’t smell so good anymore.
Naturally.
He also knew that this peach was just a delicacy for him but for the kid in the scene of the Vast Sky Realm, it was a tool for his cultivation.
Perhaps due to the exciting scenes in the Vast Sky Realm.
Without taking small bites as he did before.
The Jade Emperor took a large bite directly, consuming nearly half of the nine-thousand-year flat peach in his hand, and the juice exploded in his mouth.
“Hu~”
The superb flavor brought by the Ether Wood Essence stimulated his taste buds, made him could not help but let out a satisfactory sigh.
“Tsk, tsk- although I can’t eat it hurriedly like that rascal, but… eating in large bites can refresh my heart thoroughly.”
The Jade Emperor thought silently in his heart.
However..
