Chapter 243 - 138: Midwifery, Poisonous Woman
Wanting to establish a complete Immortal Hall is neither too difficult nor too easy.
Snakes, insects, mice, chickens, dogs, foxes, and ghosts—there are many cultivators among them, but most of these creatures lack education, and their quality varies greatly.
Xu Qing has always adhered to the principle that quality is more important than quantity. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to complete the establishment of the Hall. The Cat Immortal Hall still has a long future. Over the long years, they will inevitably encounter some highly virtuous immortals, and if fate allows, they might establish spiritual connections with them.
These things can’t be rushed. Xu Qing still prefers to be a hands-off shopkeeper. When he has nothing to do, he helps manage the Cat Immortal Hall, gradually solidifying its strength. Only such pure spiritual offerings can better withstand the calamities of cultivation.
Besides resisting calamities, the spiritual offerings also represent the accumulation of yin virtue. Xu Qing felt that this thing was similar to reputation; accumulating more reputation in the mortal world could never hurt.
After the branch hall’s opening ceremony, Xu Qing bid farewell to everyone and went to Jiugou Village with the crow from Chaotic Stone Mountain and the yellow weasel from Yellow Stripe Mountain.
Earlier, when the Cat Immortal Hall had taken the shepherd’s job, they had received the corpse of a hunter. That hunter had been a mountain driver but had died a violent death while chasing the shepherd.
At that time, Xu Qing had promised that once the abducted children returned home, he would handle the hunter’s affairs so that he could have a peaceful journey.
Now that the shepherd is dead and the Child-Giving Temple has turned to ashes, the hunter’s wish is fulfilled. It was time to send him off.
