Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing smiled slightly, his attitude still humble. "Your Majesty, I have only applied some insignificant knowledge here. The production and use of the spirit ball still needs further improvement and perfection.

I am willing to pass this technique on to the court's artisans, so they too can create and use spirit balls. I believe that only the state, and only Your Majesty, can carry this technique forward."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, Gu Yang. I also hope that you can pass this technology on to the court's craftsmen so that they can also make and use spiritual spheres. This will be of great help to the development of our country."

The emperor looked at Hu Qing with deep eyes, and he was satisfied with the young man's ability and loyalty.

"Guyang, you have brought such valuable technology to the country. I should give you an appropriate reward. What reward do you want?" The emperor's voice was full of sincerity.

Hu Qing stood before the emperor, his attitude humble yet firm: "Your Majesty, I do not need any reward. By handing over the technology of the Spirit Ball to the nation, I am serving the country and fulfilling my duty."

When the emperor heard Hu Qing's answer, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by admiration: "Guyang, your selflessness makes me feel gratified. But your contribution is enormous, and I cannot let you give it in vain. Please consider it again, is there anything else you need?"

Hu Qing smiled faintly and made his request: "Your Majesty, if you must reward me, I only ask to be able to sell the spirit balls among the people to make money to supplement my family income. I hope this technology can bring convenience to the people of this country and make my life better."

The emperor pondered for a moment. He understood Hu Qing's intentions and also saw the potential of this technology among the people:

"Gu Yang, your request is reasonable. I agree with your request. You can sell spirit balls to the public, but you must abide by the relevant regulations of the court and not abuse this technology."

Hu Qing was filled with gratitude when he heard the emperor's decision. "Your Majesty, I thank you for your generosity and understanding. I will abide by the court's regulations and use this technology appropriately to bring convenience to the people."

After expressing his wishes, Hu Qing respectfully took his leave from the emperor.

He stood at the gate of the palace, holding the spirit stone and the "Life and Death Battle Method" in his hands, his heart full of lofty ambitions and infinite longing for the future.

The sunlight shone on him, warm and bright.

Hu Qing took a deep breath, feeling the fresh morning air and the atmosphere of this bustling city.

He knew that a new chapter in his life was about to begin.

Hu Qing decided to settle down in Haitian City first. He needed a stable place to live, a place where he could practice and study the "Life and Death Battle Method" with peace of mind.

At the same time, he also needed a shop where he could sell aura balls in order to make a fortune.

He planned to buy a house in the central area of Haitian City. As the capital of the country, Haitian City not only has a superior geographical location but also rich resources, making it an ideal place to conduct business activities.

Hu Qing took a step forward and walked towards the real estate market in Haitian City.

He knew that buying a house required careful consideration, not only of the location and environment of the house, but also of the price and future development potential of the area.

In his previous life, he worked hard for decades before he and his wife could afford the down payment to buy a house in a school district. However, due to urban development, the school moved away and the house prices depreciated.

Hu Qing began to ask around in Haitian City, looking for a suitable property.

He spoke with real estate agents, toured several properties, and finally found a house that met his needs at a reasonable price.

It is located in a small courtyard about three miles away from Tingfeng Tower. The downtown area is nearby. The front room used to be a small bookstore, which was put up for sale after the owner ran away.

After completing the house purchase procedures and spending nearly 150 gold coins, Hu Qing finally settled down in Haitian City.

He stood at the door of his new home, his heart filled with satisfaction and joy, as he finally had a place to settle down.

Hu Qing came to the market in Haitian City and carefully selected furniture and daily necessities for his new home.

He knew very well that a comfortable living environment was crucial for both cultivation and daily life.

In the furniture section of the market, Hu Qing picked out a set of simple and practical furniture, including a sturdy wooden bed, a wardrobe and a desk.

He chose a three-piece bed set with soft texture and elegant colors to ensure that he could get enough rest after practicing.

Later, Hu Qing came to the Yahang, where many servants were for sale. He originally considered buying some maids to reduce the burden of daily housework.

However, after some thought, he decided to give up the idea. Hu Qing believed that by doing it himself, he could not only save money but also maintain his independence and freedom.

Hu Qing's heart was filled with perseverance and determination. He knew that as a practitioner, the most important thing was to maintain inner peace and focus. Excessive material enjoyment and dependence could interfere with his cultivation progress.

After leaving the dental clinic, Hu Qing turned and headed to the market, where various production materials and tools were gathered.

He plans to buy some raw materials for making hot air balloons and consider making a hot air balloon that ordinary people can use.

Hu Qing carefully selected the materials needed to make a hot air balloon in the market, including lightweight fabrics, fuel, ropes and some necessary tools.

He hopes to create a hot air balloon that is both safe and easy to operate so that ordinary people can also experience the joy of flying.

Hu Qing returned home with the purchased furniture, bedding and materials.

He personally arranged the furniture and laid out the bedding. Although the process was a bit tiring, looking at the decorated room, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Then I started to build a simple studio in the left room of my new home, preparing to start making hot air balloons.

Although the process may be challenging, Hu Qing is ready.

Hu Qing was busy in the studio all afternoon.

He carefully cut the fabric, sewed the airbag, and installed the basket and heating device according to the design he remembered. He tried his best to do his best in every step, but after all, this was his first time making a hot air balloon by himself, so some mistakes were inevitable.

When everything was ready, Hu Qing ignited the fuel and watched the hot air balloon slowly rise into the sky with anticipation. However, the result was not what he had hoped for.

The hot air balloon swayed not far from the ground, flew less than half a meter before losing control and eventually crashed to the ground.

"Don't break, King of Fall Resistance!"

Looking at the tattered wreckage of the hot air balloon, Hu Qing shouted, but he was not discouraged. He knew that any innovation and invention would not be smooth sailing.

He squatted down and carefully examined every part of the hot air balloon, trying to find out what the problem was.
