    “Don’t rush to earn merits, first verify the results of your cultivation.”


    Xuanqing focused and directed his attention to his Dantian.


    Feeling the baby-fist-sized vortex quietly floating in his Dantian, his face showed satisfaction.


    “The spiritual energy at ck Wind Mountain is indeed rich, making it suitable for cultivation.”


    With so much Qi in his Dantian, even without any divine powers or techniques, just by directly infusing it into his hands and feet would unleash immense power, right?


    He was eager to try out the results of his cultivation.


    Xuanqing looked at the locust tree, which still had traces of urine on it, clearly not suitable.


    Finally.


    He decided on a target: a half-human-height rock not far from the locust tree.


    Xuanqing walked to the side of the rock and stretched out his right hand into a palm.


    He mobilized his mana from his Dantian, pouring it into his palm and pressing down on the rock.


    Sizzle~


    A grating sound, like nails on a chalkboard that makes one wince, rang out.


    Incredibly, under Xuanqing’s empowered palm, the rock copsed like tofu, leaving a deep five-finger imprint.


    Having done all this, his mana consumption was less than 10%.


    “Who could withstand this palm strike in the real world?”


    A glint shed in Xuanqing’s eyes.


    This simple move was just him infusing mana into his palm, the most basic application of mana. What about after learning divine power techniques? How powerful would he be?


    What was even more terrifying was that he had only cultivated for a few days.


    Based on this, in the future, moving mountains, plucking stars and moons, and even achieving immortality may not be impossible.


    …


    After solving the food and drink issue.


    Xuanqing began to ponder another matter.


    That is, cing the peach wood from the game world in the real world to withstand lightning strikes and see if it could produce Thunderstruck wood.


    When the ck Bear Essence took out the thousand-year thunderstruck peachwood in the ck Wind cave, his heart was already contemting whether this would be feasible.


    If real-world lightning works, it would mean he has a method of mass-producing Thunderstruck wood.


    Checking the weather forecast.


    A thunderstorm would arrive in two days.


    To attract lightning in the real world, besides the presence of a thunderstorm, one also needs certain tools to assist.


    Fittingly.


    Xuanqing’s Qingping Temple, located halfway up the mountain, happened to have several lightning rods prepared in advance.


    Next up.


    Entering the game, he dug up a peach wood tree hundreds of years old in the ck Wind Mountain Range, cing it in the system backpack, and bringing it back to the real world.


    He then transnted the peach tree on an empty patch ofnd at the top of Qingping Mountain, finally tying the lightning rod to the tip of the tree to serve as a lightning attractor.


    Afterpleting these tasks, all that was left was to wait for the thunderstorm in two days.


    During the waiting period, Xuanqing did not idle, choosing to enter the game world for cultivation.


    Two dayster.


    The sky above Qingping Mountain became incredibly gloomy.


    Nowadays’ weather forecasts have be remarkably precise, predicting thunder and rain urately.


    The oppressive atmosphere didn’tst long.


    When the dark clouds in the sky reached the peak of their concentration.


    Boom!


    Apanied by a sh of lightning, a deafening sound rang out, unleashing the vast power of Heaven and Earth, like the furious roar of an ancient wild beast.


    It hit!


    The peach tree nted on the mountain peak, which had been fitted with a lightning rod, was sessfully struck by the lightning.


    Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Xuanqing’s face.


    However.


    He didn’t immediately go to pick the struck peach tree, because the lightning from the sky hadn’t ceased; recklessly approaching it could result in being struck by lightning.


    Only after the storm was over.


    Xuanqing stepped onto the mountain peak.


    The once vibrant peach tree had disappeared, reced by a scorched, ckened tree exuding a burnt smell.


    But appearances didn’t matter.


    What was important was that Xuanqing felt a familiar destructive aura from this ckened peach wood, the same as the aura from the Thunderstruck Peach Wood previously taken out by the ck Bear Essence.


    “Well, it seems I can mass-produce Thunderstruck wood in the future!”


    Xuanqing’s mouth curled into a slight smile.


    With modern technology, producing these so-called Thunderstruck peachwood would be as easy as getting as many as desired, right?


    Then.


    He broke the whole peach wood and put it in the Game Backpack. With this thing, he would naturally enter the Game World and exchange it for some cultivation resources and the like.


    Back at the Taoist temple, hey down in position!


    With a thought.


    “Enter the game”


    ….


    ck Wind Mountain Range.


    In a cave.


    Xuanqing opened his eyes.


    He took out the Thunderstruck Peach Wood from the Game Backpack. He nned to use these Thunderstruck woods to exchange some medicinal herbs and elixirs from Daoist White Snake of Azure Dragon Mountain.


    When the ck Bear Essence took out the Thunderstruck wood earlier, Xuanqing could see the envy in Daoist Bai She’s eyes, and he knew he could definitely exchange some cultivation supplies for it.action


    Leaving ck Wind Mountain.


    As the saying goes, innocence bes a crime when there is something valuable in possession. To avoid exposing the system or being mistaken for having a Sumeru Ring or some other treasure.


    Xuanqing didn’t put the Thunderstruck wood in the System Backpack for the sake of convenience, but simply carried it on his shoulder instead.


    He walked toward the neighboring Azure Dragon Mountain.


    Snakes were everywhere along the way. Some of them were poisonous, while others were not. Somehow, they lived together peacefully without fighting, a fitting scene in the territory of the White Snake Demon.


    Upon arriving at the Azure Dragon Cave, he gently knocked on the Mountain Gate.


    Knock~ Knock Knock!


    “Dellow Daoist Bai She, I, Xuanqing, havee to pay you a visit.” Xuanqing knocked on the Mountain Gate and called out loudly.


    After a while.


    A white snake wearing a long gown and a crown emerged.


    “Haha, it turns out to be Daoist… Eh, what are you doing?” Young Lord Bai She was surprised.


    This… How did hee here carrying a tree? And why is the tree almost identical to the Thunderstruck Peach Wood that belongs to Big Brother ck Bear?


    ng~


    Xuanqing put the Thunderstruck Peach Wood from his shoulder on the ground.


    “I havee here to exchange this Thunderstruck Peach Wood for some cultivation supplies from my fellow Daoist!”


    Gentleman Bai She suddenly realized.


    As a rare demon who could practice alchemy, he often exchanged resources with others, and he was not unfamiliar to this kind of situation.


    Then.


    Gentleman Bai She squatted down and checked the Thunderstruck Peach Wood.


    Based on the taste and the tree rings, it was a peach tree more than 700 years old. However… why did it feel like a freshly struck Thunderstruck Peach Wood?


    It hasn’t rained these days, has it?


    Suddenly.


    Young Lord Bai She’s eyes widened.


    He thought of something.


    A month ago, at a gathering with Big Brother ck Bear in ck Wind Cave, when Big Brother ck Bear took out a thousand-year Thunderstruck Peachwood, this Daoist had asked if it was possible to produce Thunderstruck Peachwood artificially.


    At that time, he thought Xuanqing was just saying it casually and didn’t pay attention to it afterward.


    Now it seems… things are not that simple.


    Could it be that this Daoist really could summon the Heavenly Court Thunder Department, and bring down thunderbolts on the peach trees, thus artificially creating this Thunderstruck Peach Wood?


    Thinking of this.


    Daoist Bai She felt a chill down his spine.


    This kind of behavior was like burning precious wood just to light a cigarette.


    Not worth it.


    It really wasn’t worth it.


    However, the more it was like this, the more it proved that Daoist Xuanqing was not as simple as just being a candidate from the ninth product. His background was so profound that he could even influence the Heavenly Court Thunder Department.


    Could it be the reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse?


    Not daring to think further, Daoist Bai She took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the shock in his heart.


    “Daoist Xuanqing, there are three bottles of Blood Enhancer Pill and one bottle of Solid Pei Yuan Dan left here. Will that be enough?”


    “Good!”


    Xuanqing decisively nodded.


    “Daoist Xuanqing, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch the elixirs.” Daoist Bai She gave a slight bow.


    A momentter.


    Gentleman Bai She walked out with a cloth bag in hand.


    Receiving the bag.


    Xuanqing found that in addition to the four porcin bottles, there was even a decades-old dried Ginseng. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What is this…?”


    “Hahaha, a small gift not worth mentioning, please take it back and make soup or tea with it!” Gentleman Bai Sheughed.


    Xuanqing nodded slightly, not refusing.


    “Well then, thanks to White Snake Daoist.”
