Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing spread out the leather and carefully marked each part of the parachute with a special marking tool.

His movements were skilled and precise, and each cut was just right.

He then began sewing the cut leather pieces into the shape of a parachute, ensuring that every seam was secure and strong.

During the production process, Hu Qing conducted small-scale tests from time to time to ensure the parachute's opening mechanism and bearing capacity.

He knew that in actual use, the parachute must be able to deploy quickly and withstand the impact of falling.

Night fell quietly, and Hu Qing's busy figure in the workshop finally stopped.

He had just completed a parachute, the making of which had taken him a great deal of energy, but he was pleased with the result.

Although this parachute is not as good as the work of professional craftsmen, it is sufficient to deal with emergencies and ensure safety.

Hu Qing simply packed up the tools and materials on the workbench, walked out of the workshop, and saw Qingyin already waiting quietly in the dining room.

The food on the table exuded an enticing aroma, it was obvious that Qingyin had already prepared dinner.

Hu Qing walked over, and the two began to have dinner together. Although Qingyin's cooking skills could not compare with those of the chefs at Qianweilou, every dish revealed her care and ingenuity.

As Hu Qing tasted the dishes, he couldn't help but admire Qingyin's cooking skills.

After dinner, Qingyin stood up and began to wash the dishes. Hu Qing looked at her busy figure and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that Qingyin was a well-behaved woman, and she would never eat first unless she was waiting for him to eat together.

"Qingyin, you don't have to wait for me to eat anymore." Hu Qing said softly, with a hint of concern in his tone, "You eat first and leave one portion for me. I'm a cultivator, so skipping a meal is no big deal, but you're different. You need to eat on time to maintain your health."

When Qingyin heard Hu Qing's words, she paused for a moment while washing the dishes. She didn't respond immediately, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she softly replied, "I understand, sir."

Hu Qing felt relieved when Qingyin didn't object. He continued, "The life of a cultivator is different from that of an ordinary person. I hope you understand. Of course, I'll try to come back on time and have dinner with you."

Qingyin finished washing the dishes, turned around, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Sir, I understand. Don't worry about your cultivation, I will take good care of the family."

As the night deepened, Hu Qing returned to his room and continued his practice.

After finishing her housework, Qingyin returned to her room and prepared to rest.

A night without words...

Early in the morning, after Hu Qing prepared breakfast carefully for Qingyin, he gave her a few brief instructions and went out to the private school.

He walked with a brisk pace, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming hot air balloon promotional program.

When Hu Qing arrived at the private school, the sun had already filled the entire yard.

He found the scholars he had hired before, who were waiting for Hu Qing's arrival in the study.

"Young Master, you are here." The scholars saluted Hu Qing respectfully.

Hu Qing smiled in response and walked into the study. He saw a cabinet full of flyers. These scholars were obviously working very hard to make more money.

In accordance with the agreement, Hu Qing paid a reward of about one gold coin based on the progress of copying.

The scholars took the gold coins with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Sir, we have prepared these flyers. Are you satisfied with them?" The scholars showed the flyers to Hu Qing.

Hu Qing carefully examined the flyers and expressed his approval of the scholars' work.

"Well done. I'll leave these flyers at the private school and come back to pick them up later."

After leaving the private school, Hu Qing went straight to the county government office.

He needed to obtain the county magistrate's consent in order to conduct hot air balloon promotion activities in Haitian City.

At the county government office, Hu Qing explained his plans and objectives to the magistrate.

After hearing this, the magistrate expressed his appreciation for Hu Qing's innovative spirit and agreed to his request.

"Mr. Gu, your promotion is unprecedented and indeed novel. I allow you to promote it within the city," said the magistrate.

After obtaining the county magistrate's consent, Hu Qing asked the county magistrate to provide a few guards to help post flyers.

The guards followed Hu Qing and posted flyers in the streets and alleys of Haitian City.

After a busy day, flyers were spread across every corner of Haitian City.

Citizens began to notice these flyers, and the topic of hot air balloons gradually spread among the citizens.

As the flyers were posted, the citizens of Haitian City began to discuss this novel device enthusiastically.

They are full of curiosity and interest in this hot air balloon that can take people into the sky.

"Look, what is this? A hot air balloon? Can it really fly into the sky?" A citizen asked curiously, pointing at the flyer.

"I heard that it was invented by an ancient mansion. I don't know where the ancient mansion is, but they are planning to display this hot air balloon publicly." Another citizen replied.

Hu Qing felt very satisfied when he saw that his publicity plan was successful.

He knew that this publicity event would attract more attention and viewers to his hot air balloon test flights.

But in order to maximize the impact of the hot air balloon test flight, heavyweights such as His Majesty the Emperor and the Chief of the Guards must be invited.

The afternoon sun shone through the treetops as he set out on his way to the palace.

When Hu Qing arrived at the palace, the sun was shining brightly. He told the guards his purpose, and they immediately took him to the captain of the guards.

Hu Qing explained his request clearly and concisely. The captain of the guards nodded and led Hu Qing to the emperor's study.

Hu Qing met the emperor in the magnificently decorated study.

The emperor was sitting behind his desk, looking at Hu Qing kindly.

"Guyang, why did you come to see me?" There was a hint of curiosity in the emperor's voice.

Hu Qing took a deep breath and told the emperor in detail about his hot air balloon project and tomorrow's test flight plan. His words revealed confidence and anticipation.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have developed a device similar to the Aura Balloon - a hot air balloon. However, unlike the Aura Balloon, it does not require spiritual power and can be used by ordinary people. I hope that Your Majesty and the Captain of the Guards can come to the test flight site in person to witness this miracle." Hu Qing said respectfully.

When the emperor heard Hu Qing's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by strong interest.

"Oh? Ordinary people can fly? This is an unprecedented feat."

The emperor praised Hu Qing repeatedly and expressed his admiration for his talent and courage.

"Gu Yang, you are such a talented person. I am very interested in you." A satisfied smile appeared on the emperor's face.

Hu Qing waited quietly for the emperor's reply, and the atmosphere in the study seemed a little tense.

Finally, the emperor slowly spoke and agreed to Hu Qing's request.

"Okay, I will go there tomorrow with the captain of the guards to see what's so magical about your hot air balloon." The emperor's words were full of anticipation.
