Chapter 92: Chapter 91:1 simply wish to promote Taoism.

Just as he was about to ask directly.
It seed like he rembered sothing.
Elder Jingde hurriedly stopped talking, turned his head, and said to the Chief Officer of the Business Departnt:
“Layman Zhao, 1 and young friend Xuanqing’s next conversation may involve so Taoist secrets, so I hope you…”
Before he could finish his sentence.
The Chief Officer of the Business Departnt imdiately understood, laughed twice, and said generously, “Daoist Jingde, you guys chat, 1’11 go out for a smoke!”
Then.
He turned around and left, heading towards the front yard of the Taoist temple.
Although he was curious, compared to investing and building connections, his curiosity was not worth ntioning. Besides, when soone else directly ntioned this, one should know when to step back!
After he left.
Elder Jingde hesitated, thought for a mont, and then asked:
“Young friend Xuanqing, have you… practiced the True thod?”
“True thod, what is the True thod? If it ans cultivating Mana, I indeed have cultivated a little.”
Xuanqing did not hide anything, nor was there any need to hide.
Many cultivators, after encountering great opportunities, would hide themselves like insects in the darkness, even if they have achieved a certain level of cultivation, they would not have the corresponding realm.
What cultivators seek is an honest conscience, and living an honest life. If they shrink away from every encounter, what kind of Tao would they cultivate? It would be better to work in a factory and assemble screws instead!
“Is this… true?”
Elder Jingde’s breathing quickened, and he stood up abruptly, even accidentally flipping over the chessboard and table in front of him.
Crash-
The black and white chess pieces scattered, rolling all over the ground, but he seed not to hear them.
Ru Xiao’s eyes bulged by the side, her delicate jade hand covering her mouth, afraid to make even the slightest noise.
“Fine, 1 will demonstrate!”
Xuanqing said in a deep voice.
He understood Elder Jingde’s feelings very well.
As a fellow cultivator, encountering such a True thod is extrely passionate, just like the saying, ‘When you hear the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening.’
The next mont.
“Light Body!”
Xuanqing’s body flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Then.
As his right hand waved, a lucky cloud condensed under his feet. He lightly stepped on the cloud and floated in the air.
“Fog Riding!”
Elder Jingde’s body trembled.
He felt his brain spin, staggered to the front of the cloud with light-headed steps, and stretched out his dried hand to touch the cloud.
The touch was warm with a hint of coolness, like holding a piece of cotton candy in a fridge.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing floated down from the cloud.
With a thought.
He took out two jade talismans from his Ga Backpack, which he had refined earlier – the Serenity Jade Talisman and the Soul-calming Jade Talisman.
He poured a trace of Mana into the two jade talismans, activated their effects within half a ter around him, and handed them over.
“Daoist Jingde, you are getting old. You shouldn’t be so agitated!”
“This is…”
Elder Jingde subconsciously took the jade talisman.
In an instant.
A feeling of tranquility and peace enveloped the heart, and the delusions that arose from seeing the True thod had also dispersed a lot.
Visible to the naked eye, the flush on Jingde’s face gradually faded, returning to his usual calm and indifferent expression.
“These are the Serenity Jade Talisman and the Soul-calming Jade Talisman. 1 would like to offer them to Daoist Priest,” said Xuanqing with a slight bow.
He was rather respectful towards Elder Jingde.
Ever since his power of the soul strengthened, his perception of normal mortals’ emotions had beco extrely strong.
From Elder Jingde’s body, he could feel deep kindness and a pure heart of admiring the younger generation.
“This item is too precious, young friend. Please keep it.”
Elder Jingde waved his hand and cautioned, “In addition, young friend, do not reveal the True thod so easily in the future to avoid trouble in this mortal world!”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing looked at Elder Jingde in surprise.
With his soul strength, he could naturally sense that these words were genuinely heartfelt from Elder Jingde.
“Tall trees attract the wind; 1 know this truth,”
“However, as cultivators, if we hide like rats, even if we gain peace at this mont, it will leave behind inner demons in the future and be of no benefit to our cultivation!”
Xuanqing said leisurely.
Of course,
There was another more important reason.
With his current cultivation, not to ntion physically resisting cannons or sniper bullets, just with his soul strength, he could already sense danger before it arrived.
If soone wanted to harm him and could indeed cause him damage, he would probably know it before his assailant made a move.
‘Fortune favors the prepared mind’ is not just a saying.
Seeing Xuanqing’s attitude,
Elder Jingde didn’t continue to console him, instead asked tentatively, “Young friend Xuanqing, can 1… have the opportunity to refine this True thod?”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing first shook his head, then explained, “In fact, I have achieved the Dao by practicing the breathing and standing ditation techniques provided by the academy.”
“Actually, Daoist Priest, you also have noticed that although we Taoists do not attain the True thod by practicing these techniques for a long ti, we can still strengthen our bodies and maintain our health, living well past a hundred years!”
Upon hearing this,
Elder Jingde nodded.
He was not disappointed. In his life, he had only seen Xuanqing use this divine power, so it must not be sothing that could be easily replicated.
“That’s right, I am ninety-eight years old, and 1 can still run and jump, which may have sothing to do with our Taoist breathing and standing ditation practices!”
“Please take back the jade talisman, young friend. There is no need for such precious items at my age,” Jingde said with a laugh.
Seeing the True thod today was already extrely satisfying for him. Having cultivated for most of his life, he had long understood the principle of contentnt brings happiness.
Xuanqing waved his hand and casually said, “Once given, there is no reason to take it back. Besides, I still have so of these, Daoist Jingde, please accept it!”
“Well then…Thank you for the treasure, young friend.”
Elder Jingde hesitated for a mont, then solemnly stood up straight, making the Yin and Yang Fish Hand Seal with both hands.
“In the future, if there is anything that the young friend needs help with, please don’t be polite – just ask, and 1 will do my best to help!”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing smiled slightly and imdiately said, “There is indeed a matter I would like to ask for your help with!”
“1 have noticed that nowadays, the incense offerings in the world are all taken by those of the Shin sect. I can’t help but feel unhappy about this. 1 just want to promote our Daoist school, recover the incense offerings!”
“Qingping Temple is the starting point, and I plan to use it as a foundation to spread our branches throughout the world!”
He didn’t lie about this; he did indeed want to recover those incense offerings and promote the Daoist school in the process.
Upon hearing this,
“Well done!”
Elder Jingde’s spirit was lifted, and he imdiately clapped his hands in praise.
Nowadays, although the Taoist school followed the upper-class route and could not stand the increasingly comrcialized Buddhism, it would be a great boon for the Taoist school to gain a foothold at the grassroots level as well..
