Chapter 30: Chapter 29: Fat Ya’s Strange Question.
Translator: 549690339
The scene switches.
In the unimpressive cave mansion somewhere in the Black Wind Mountain Range of the Journey to the West World.
A body that had been sitting for tens of days suddenly opened its eyes—it was Xuanqing who had logged into the Game World.
“Hoo-”
Xuanqing takes a deep breath, surging out all the Qi in his Dantian, which then rushes towards the limbs and acupoints.
Without any hesitation.
After all, whether it’s Qi Introduction or Refining Essence into Qi, they are all just basics in the path of cultivation.
At this moment.
The entire Physical Body seems to have turned into a dry sponge.
When the Qi in the Dantian surged out, it was instantly divided cleanly by all parts of the body.
The Dantian becomes empty.
However, Xuanqing does not feel the slightest bit weak, instead, he feels fulfilled, as if he stepped from a boat floating uncertainly onto firm land.
Qi Introduction means introducing the Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Physical Body.
This final step is to completely integrate the Qi into the body, making the body more suitable for ‘Qi’.
About the time of a cup of tea later.
The surface of his body begins to exude a layer of black grease.
Contrary to the imagined ‘foul odor’, it exudes a smell of hot pot and stir-fried rice.
The reason for this.
Is because these things are not years of toxins but low-level energy produced by eating and excreting, hence they would have the smell of food.
“I’ve broken through!”
Looking at the black dirt on the surface of his body.
Xuanqing slightly frowns!
“Heaven and Earth Nature, disperse the impurities, the Profound Void in the cave, brightly shining Tai Yuan, in all directions….”
Accompanied by the fluctuating incantation of Yin and Yang.
The dirt on his body seems to dissolve into sulfuric acid, at a very fast speed, finally turning into whiffs of green smoke, disappearing with the wind.
Outside the Cave House.
Fat Ya is holding a strand of Foxtail Grass, her chubby little hand propping up her plump chin, boredly looking at the distance.
Suddenly.
Her dainty little nose twitches.
“Huh, why is there a smell of food coming from the Cave House? Could it be that Sir is not in Closed-door Cultivation but secretly eating?
Fat Ya tilts her head, murmuring to herself.
Just as she was considering whether to sneak into the Cave House for a peek, a voice sounded next to her ear.
“Fat Ya!”
“All!” Fat Ya quickly spat out the Foxtail Grass, standing up hastily, her small hands constantly rubbing the corner of her clothes.
“All, Sir, you have come out, Fat Ya… Fat Ya didn’t peek-”
After all, she’s just a few years old.
She hadn’t asked her yet, and she’s already confessing in a fluster.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing just laughed and shook his head, and then asked: “Fat Ya, has anything happened in the Cave House recently?”
“Sir, nothing has happened!”
Fat Ya stuck out her tongue, sighing a breath of relief in her heart.
Xuanqing nodded slightly, not at all surprised by the few months of tranquility. This was the normal pace.
After all.
This is a world where people engage in Closed-door Cultivation for years and decades. What could happen in just a few months?
Of course, this is all based on the fact that the ‘Journey to the West’ hasn’t started. Once the events of the Journey to the West start, the entire Three Realms will become lively.
“Fat Ya, seeing you bored all day, I’ll give you something to pass the time.”
“Wow- is Sir going to give Fat Ya a reward?” Fat Ya covered her face, looking surprised and expectant.
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He’s always in Closed-door Cultivation in his daily life, and no matter how sensible Fat Ya is, she is just a little girl after all.
Last time he thought, when he returned to Earth and logged into the game, he would bring Fat Ya a gift to pass the time.
With a thought.
A pile of children’s picture books appeared in Xuanqing’s hand.
The exquisite book cover and the colourful illustrations immediately attracted Fat Ya’s attention.
“Do you like it?”
“Thank you, Sir. Fat Ya loves it very much!”
Fat Ya was so excited that she kept bowing in thanks.
Every time someone brought a gift to their home, her grandmother would bow in gratitude like this, naturally Fat Ya remembered this gesture.
“Hahaha, good, good. I’m glad you like it.”
A small smile plays on Xuanqing’s face.
The breakthrough in his cultivation, coupled with the innocent smile on the child’s face, had put him in an extremely good mood.
However.
The moment Fat Ya got the fairy tale picture book, she asked a question that was hard to answer.
“Sir, this pig looks so strange, why does it like to jump in puddles?”
Fat Ya looked at the book’s illustrations biting her fingertips, asking curiously.
This…
Xuanqing was momentarily stumped.
He glanced at the fairy tale picture book in Fat Ya’s hands and saw a pig with a blowing machine head, happily frolicking in a puddle.
Well then, it’s Peppa Pig. As for why Peppa likes to splash in puddles, probably only the creator would know.
After a moment of contemplation.
“Perhaps this pig has cultivated a water attribute technique, thus naturally enjoying jumping in water!” Xuanqing replied mysteriously.
“1 understand.”
Fat Ya seemed to suddenly understand, and then said confidently, “Just like Fat Ya, who practices the Wood attribute techniques, I naturally like flowers and grasses, right?”
A promising pupil indeed!
Xuanqing gave Fat Ya a look of approval.
“Alright, play on your own, but don’t forget your daily practice!”
“Hmm..”
Back in the cave mansion.
Xuanqing took out the “Ingesting Qi Decision.”
Now that his cultivation had broken through to refining essence into Qi, his previous basic breathing exercises were no longer sufficient.
He opened up the secret book.
And read the summary on ‘Refining Essence into Qi’.
A drop of water, a grain of sand, and everything in the world has its own essence, Qi, and spirit, and humans are no exception.
This realm of refining essence into Qi mainly aims to temper one’s ‘essence’ to lay a foundation for the later cultivation of ‘Spirit’.
In the eyes of a cultivator, ‘Essence’ and ‘Spirit’ should be viewed separately. Only when the essence within the body is strong can it nourish the soul of a human.
After reading the introduction to ‘Refining Essence into Qi’ and the cultivation method in the “Ingesting Qi Decision”,
Xuanqing was full of admiration.
“As expected from the authentic Xuan Gate’s Qi nourishing method!”
Suppressing his eagerness, Xuanqing reminded himself that in cultivation, it’s important to be patient and calm. He needed to adapt to his new level of cultivation.
It had only just been a breakthrough, after all.
And so.
After several days of adjustment and stabilizing his cultivation, he resumed his practice.
Of course, with the abundance of ingots he had… For something like cultivation, using the game’s Al function was more effective.
“Exit game!”
In the real world.
On Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing woke up.
Perhaps due to the breakthrough in his cultivation, the moment he returned, he had a feeling and looked down the mountain.
“Huh… There are pilgrims visiting, and not a small number?”
