Not to mention how disappointed Yang Ying was at the county television station.

The scene returns to Qingping Mountain.

On this small path up the mountain, Xuanqing’s figure is running rapidly.

With his left foot stepping forward and the light body technique on both legs, he strides over ten meters directly up the mountain.

The moment he lands, his other foot exerts force, leaping again without any pause between take off and landing.

If a nearsighted person were to see this scene, they might think he was flying.

…

After running up and down the mountain like this, practicing in a loop for more than a dozen times,

Finally,

Xuanqing has completely mastered the ‘leg’ part of the light body technique.

“Now let’s try to lighten the whole body!”

The first layer of “Treading the Clouds” is not difficult; it mainly tests a cultivator’s control of mana.

Generally, as long as one practices diligently, with no mana coming from elixirs, they could quickly master it.

Although he was also using elixirs, the system’s ‘Hang-up Cultivation’ function allowed his body to fully develop, expelling toxins from the elixirs while absorbing their power without any adverse effects.

Afterward,

Xuanqing’s eyes narrowed.

The mana in his body surged, following the technique described in “Treading the Clouds” and circulating in an orderly manner.

The legs lightened in an instant, followed by the thighs, buttocks, waist, chest, neck, and head.

It took more than ten minutes for his whole body to become lightened.

At this moment,

Xuanqing felt an unprecedented lightness throughout his body, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

By coincidence,

A northern breeze blew by.

“Perfect opportunity!”

Xuanqing’s eyes shone, sensing the power of the wind, and then made a small leap with his toes.

The next moment,

His whole body appeared like a kite floating upwards as the airflow lifted him.

Higher and higher.

One meter.. two meters… three meters.. five meters!

He continued floating until the airflow ceased, as his body gently drifted down and landed on a patch of grass.

If any observer were present, they could see his body resting atop a weed after landing.

More importantly, that weed only trembled ever so slightly.

It was as if he was stepping on the grass without a trace!

“Phew!”

Standing atop the tip of the grass, Xuanqing took a deep breath.

The first half of the ‘Light Body’ technique was successfully executed.

However,

To fully master the ‘Light Body’ technique, he would still need some time to practice until he could achieve lightening at a single thought.

Despite several hours of continuous practice, he felt no exhaustion of mana.

“Tsk tsk, practicing techniques on Earth is really great, no need to worry about mana running out!” Xuanqing’s mouth slightly curved up.

You should know,

The time ratio between the real world and game world is one to ten.

This means that while he consumes mana on Earth, his avatar in the game world is recovering at ten times the speed, plus the double effect of Hang-up Cultivation, totaling twenty times the speed.

Under such conditions,

No matter how much he uses his techniques, the mana within his body never runs out.

“Keep practicing!” Xuanqing’s eyes were firm and determined.

Without a firm heart, one could not be called a cultivator.

…..

….

A flower blooms in pairs, each on a separate branch.

The next day,

A small town at the foot of Qingping Mountain welcomed a group of unique visitors.

They wore matching sports clothes in various shades of pink and white, with excited expressions on their faces.

These words, “youthful and energetic,” were fully displayed on these girls.

They entered a noodle shop.

The boss, who was originally dozing off at the counter, suddenly perked up.

Wow, so many people, big business here.

“Boss, give each of us a bowl of sliced noodles!” A girl at the front shouted to the boss.

“Alright, just wait a moment, I’ll get it right away.”

The boss rubbed his hands, counted the number of people, and quickly jogged towards the kitchen.

They were just a small town, besides the market days, there was hardly any business on weekdays. If they missed this order, they would be so upset.

In a while…

“Pork Whistle Noodles coming up~”

The boss served the noodles to them one by one, all the while curiously asking, “Girls, what brings so many of you to our small town?”

Upon hearing this,

The girls casually replied, “We’re all going to Qingping Temple to burn incense.”

Qingping Temple?

The boss was surprised.

Having lived in this small town for decades, he had never heard of a Qingping Temple that could attract so many young girls to burn incense.

“Is Qingping Temple a Taoist temple? Where is it?”

As soon as the words came out,

Suddenly,

Girls eating noodles gained spirit, and all chimed in, “Are you a local, boss? You don’t know about Qingping Temple?”

“Yeah, the boss…no, the Daoist priest of Qingping Temple is so handsome and has an excellent temperament.”

“Our county’s television station even went there for an interview, and you don’t know that?”

“It’s south of your town; there’s a big mountain there, and on the mountain, there’s a Taoist temple called Qingping Temple.”

…

The girls chattered away, like countless birds singing.

Although the girls’ words were messy, the boss still understood.

“So it’s that broken temple on Qingping Mountain you’re talking about, I didn’t expect it to have been interviewed by a television station?”

The boss was amazed.

He didn’t understand why such a dilapidated temple would attract the attention of a television station and so many beautiful young girls. It was quite strange.

Although he didn’t understand it, the words “Qingping Temple” were deeply engraved in the boss’s mind.

…

At the foot of Qingping Mountain,

The girls unfolded their collapsible climbing sticks, gazed up at the towering peaks, and set off without hesitation.

At this moment,

One of the girls, who liked to shoot short videos and share her life on social media, raised her selfie stick.

“Haha, spending the weekend mountain climbing with my sisters, going to Qingping Temple to burn incense, and to take a look at Daoist priest Xuanqing. Don’t be jealous, guys~”

While speaking,

She also rotated the selfie stick, looking around in a circle.

When the phone pointed toward the mountain, a black shadow seemed to appear on the screen.

“Huh…what is that?”

The girl curiously took her phone off the selfie stick and checked the playback.

Seeing this,

The rest of the girls gathered around, curious.

“Sisters, I’ll post the video in the group chat, and you can see what this black shadow is.”

Everyone hurriedly opened their phones and clicked on the video the girl shared in the group chat.

The video started playing.

A small black dot could be seen moving at an extremely fast speed on the endless path near the hillside.

However,

Perhaps because the distance was too far, the image was blurry, and they could only see a small black dot without distinguishing what it was exactly.

Just as the girls were all huddled around their phones, guessing and discussing,

Suddenly,

A gentle and elegant voice resounded.

“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, are you girls going up the mountain to burn incense at Qingping Temple?”
