I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 597 - 303: Family and the Burial of Clothes and Cap

Even the congratulatory ssage was longer than Temple Master Jingxu’s.

"This brat’s doing this, isn’t just to give Yizhen a gift..."

Temple Master Jingxu’s gaze fell on the two of them, full of suspicion.

Xu Qing didn’t know what the old woman was thinking. After giving the gifts and confirming that Tao Sani wasn’t seriously wronged and the old woman didn’t act recklessly on his territory, he returned.

However, just as he left, Jingxu urged Yizhen to open the gift box to see what exactly was inside this New Year’s gift.

Yizhen Daoist was also curious, so he untied the red silk and opened the gift box.

Inside, he saw a pair of clear and elegant earrings lying on the embroidered cloth in the center.

Daoist Yizhen was slightly taken aback, while the old woman frowned. Looking at the earrings, a green light flashed in her eyes, imdiately recognizing that these were not ordinary earrings but a pair of inseparable Youthful Appearance Dharma Artifacts.

If one earring was lost, then the whole artifact would lose half of its effectiveness, and the rejuvenating effect would also be halved.

The old woman felt more and more that sothing was off. When she saw her apprentice pick up the earrings as if wanting to try them on, she jumped up instantly.

"This little fox has bad intentions, pupil, let’s not accept his things! It’s just a pair of earrings; tomorrow, I’ll search for materials to forge you a better pair."

Yizhen, quick to react, put the earrings back into the gift box and stored them in his sleeve before his master could make a move.

At the sa ti, he changed the subject by saying, "Master, you haven’t seen what Junior Brother Xu sent you as a gift yet; it might also be a pair of earrings."

"What nonsense are you spouting? If he dares to give that, I’d throw him into the Nether River to fend for himself!"

Despite her words, when the old Temple Master saw the painting of the ascension on the gift box, she couldn’t suppress a feeling of regret as if born at an unfortunate ti.

Opening the gift box, inside there were no earrings as Yizhen ntioned, only a few bottles of pills, so dog skin ointnts, and a few strength pills wrapped in sugar paper.

Proof, even when a Primordial Spirit True Man is at a loss for words, they might laugh out loud.

Jingxu, extrely exasperated, laughed and said, "And you say he has no ulterior motives? He sends you a Youthful Appearance Dharma Artifact, but for , he sends so low-grade market ointnts."

"Does he think I have rheumatism or bone pain?"

Jingxu waved her robe, condensed from her Primordial Spirit, and aside from the dog skin ointnts and strength pills, the lids of the few bottles of pills also fell to the side.

Almost instantly, a rich dicinal aroma filled the entire courtyard.

Even Tao Sani, who was watching the commotion nearby, couldn’t help but sniff.

"Yellow Bud Pill, Cyan Essence Pill..."

Jingxu swallowed back the words she was about to say.

These pills, while not rare treasures, in tis of great calamity, when cultivators of pure cultivation hid themselves away, unwilling to easily use their powers, these pills’ value beca quite significant.

"This brat is quite generous, offering these beneficial pills for cultivation."

But the next mont, Jingxu realized and said, "These pills, although not bad, are sowhat unnecessary to . Ultimately, won’t I just give them to my disciple..."

"That little fox indeed has bad intentions!"

What Jingxu didn’t know was that when Xu Qing gave the gifts, he didn’t think too much about it. As a zombie, these pills needed by righteous cultivators were not only useless to him but harmful.

In Xu Qing’s eyes, these pills, rather than gathering dust in storage, were better shared, either as employee benefits for the immortals of Cat Immortal Hall or as goodwill gestures.

On the twenty-seventh of the lunar month, Xu Qing visited the funeral shop again.

"What are you here for again?"

Temple Master Jingxu flew out of the wooden box, guarding against Xu Qing like a thief.

Xu Qing chuckled and said, "Today is the day of our funeral association’s annual eting. I ca to fetch Tao Sani to the funeral shop for the eting and to discuss so business matters with her."

Jingxu’s expression softened slightly, but then she heard Xu Qing continue, "Golden Simurgh these days wants to catch bugs with it again. If you don’t mind, I’ll take it to a place full of bugs for a hearty al in a couple of days, at least ensuring it has a plump New Year."

Jingxu didn’t pay it much mind. That Golden Chicken was a guide she once used to head to the Underworld. Due to a mishap in the past, she no longer dared to use the Golden Simurgh to attempt entering the Nether River.

And that useless chicken had since beco a good-for-nothing, freeloading in the temple, doing nothing but crowing for food.

Beside her, Daoist Yizhen nodded and said, "Naturally, there’s no objection, but it’s another trouble for Junior Brother Xu."

"Ha! We’re family, no need to talk about trouble. Rest assured, Senior Sister, I’ll surely feed the Golden Simurgh well, ensuring it has a good year."

Xu Qing pondered silently, thinking the Golden Simurgh may seem like a useless freeloader to others, but in his perspective, even the most useless supernatural creatures could be put to use.

As night fell over Underground Street, the entire, otherwise empty funeral shop was filled with shadows of supernatural beings.

Xu Qing expanded on the founding concept of Cat Immortal Hall to its future plans, painting a continuous vision. The immortals listened with enthusiasm, even the astute Red-tailed Monkey falling into dreams of the future, captivated.

Why would no immortal doubt Xu Qing’s empty promises?

The reason is simple; the visions painted by the Sect Leader are genuinely fulfilled, often exceeding their expectations.

Last ti during the hall gathering, Xu Qing promised no less than thirty thousand incense offerings for each hall.
