Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

There was an eager glint in Sun Dajun's eyes, and his desire to experience flying again was almost beyond words.

Hu Qing looked at this dull young man and couldn't help feeling a bit of sympathy in his heart. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to better use his enthusiasm.

After all, work is the easiest way to dampen a person's enthusiasm. When something you like becomes work, I don't think anyone will like it.

"Sun Dajun, I understand how you feel, but flying is no joke. It requires preparation and timing."

Hu Qing's voice was calm and firm. He needed to make Sun Dajun understand that nothing should be rushed.

Sun Dajun nodded, indicating that he understood, but his eyes were still full of expectation.

During the chat with Hu Qing, Sun Dajun began to talk about his life situation.

"My home is in the south of the city, and now it's just my mother and I who depend on each other."

Sun Dajun's voice was low, with a subtle hint of melancholy. "My mother always hoped that I could change my fate through studying, because I... I'm not cut out for cultivation."

Hu Qing listened carefully. He could feel the helplessness and bitterness in Sun Dajun's words.

Sun Dajun continued, "At private school, I was often bullied by my classmates because of my introverted personality. The teachers also thought I was useless. I failed the imperial examination and now I can only help my mother sell some homemade wine at home."

A gleam of light flashed in Hu Qing's eyes. He felt that although Sun Dajun had no talent in cultivation, his honesty, diligence and love for flying made him see Sun Dajun's potential.

"Sun Dajun, I feel sorry for what happened to you, but I don't think you are mediocre."

Hu Qing's tone was encouraging. "Hot air balloon flights need manpower. I think you can join us. This way, you can also learn some new knowledge and lay a foundation for future continuation."

After hearing this, Sun Dajun's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Hu Qing to give him such an opportunity.

"Master Gu, are you really willing to let me join? I will definitely work hard!"

Hu Qing smiled and nodded. "Of course, I need people like you. However, flight training takes time, and you need to be patient."

Sun Dajun nodded repeatedly, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

For him, Hu Qing's proposal was not only an opportunity to learn new skills, but also an opportunity to change his destiny.

The two continued their conversation in the living room, and Hu Qing introduced Sun Dajun in detail various aspects of hot air balloon flying and how he would participate in it.

Sun Dajun listened very carefully and raised his own questions and ideas from time to time.

Qingyin was busy in the yard, occasionally looking into the living room. Seeing Hu Qing and Sun Dajun talking so happily, she felt happy for them.

Hu Qing and Sun Dajun finished their discussion in the living room, and Hu Qing raised the issue of wages.

"Sun Dajun, since you have decided to work here, you will get 20 silver coins per month. If you perform well at work, you will also get additional commission." Hu Qing said seriously.

Sun Dajun was very surprised to hear the amount. He had come here just for his love of flying and didn't expect to get paid.

"Mr. Gu, I just want to learn how to fly. I can't accept this money." Sun Dajun quickly refused.

However, Hu Qing insisted that since Sun Dajun worked here, he should be compensated accordingly.

"Sun Dajun, you should be paid for helping here. This is what you deserve." Hu Qing said in a firm tone.

Sun Dajun couldn't persuade Hu Qing and finally had to accept this condition.

The two signed the contract, and Sun Dajun's face showed an expression of gratitude and seriousness.

He knew that this was Hu Qing's trust and recognition of him.

Just then, Hu Qing noticed that it was almost the hour of Si.

He suddenly remembered that the kerosene he bought from the county government office was still in the yard and had not yet been added to the hot air balloon's heating device.

"Sun Dajun, you're here just in time. I need your help." Hu Qing stood up and took Sun Dajun to the yard, pointing to the barrels of kerosene. "We need to add this kerosene to the heating device."

Sun Dajun nodded and watched Hu Qing's operation carefully.

While operating, Hu Qing explained the steps and precautions to Sun Dajun.

"First, turn on the heating device, then slowly pour the kerosene into..."

After Hu Qing demonstrated it once, he let Sun Dajun try it himself.

Although Sun Dajun was a little confused at first, he quickly mastered the technique.

He carefully poured the kerosene into the heating device. Although his movements were a bit clumsy, he finally completed the task successfully.

Hu Qing stood aside and watched Sun Dajun's operation, feeling satisfied with his learning ability and adaptability.

"Well done, Sun Dajun. You learn quickly," Hu Qing encouraged.

When Sun Dajun heard Hu Qing's praise, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu. I will try my best." His voice was full of confidence and expectation.

Hu Qing stood in the yard, looked around, and found that there were not many pedestrians at this time. He felt that this was a rare opportunity to teach Sun Dajun without being disturbed.

He decided to take Sun Dajun flying personally so that he could learn the key points of flying through practice.

"Sun Dajun, let's do some flight practice now." Hu Qing's tone revealed determination and confidence.

Hu Qing took Sun Dajun to the hot air balloon, checked the wear of the hemp rope in detail, and explained to Sun Dajun the importance of the inspection.

"These hemp ropes are related to flight safety. If they are found to be severely worn, we must replace them immediately."

Afterwards, Hu Qing asked Sun Dajun to enter the hanging basket first, while he stood outside and pondered for a moment.

He decided to take along his two parachutes, which hadn't been used since they were last made.

Doesn’t Sun Dajun like flying? As a benefit for the newcomer, we must take him for a good ride.

After Hu Qing entered the basket, he began to explain the operating steps of the hot air balloon to Sun Dajun.

"First, we need to light the heater to heat the air, and then the hot air balloon will take off." Hu Qing said as he demonstrated the operation.

Sun Dajun listened attentively, and then followed Hu Qing's instructions and performed the operation himself.

Although he was a little unfamiliar at first, he quickly mastered the operation.

Hu Qing was satisfied with Sun Dajun's learning ability, and he decided to let Qingyin join in.

"Qingyin, come in too. I'll teach you how to control the hot air balloon to land."

Qingyin walked into the hanging basket and listened carefully to Hu Qing's explanation.

Hu Qing taught her how to control the rise and fall of the hot air balloon by adjusting the power of the heater, and explained the steps for landing.

Under Hu Qing's guidance, Qingyin quickly mastered the key points of landing.

Then, Hu Qing asked Sun Dajun to start operating the hot air balloon and conduct the actual flight.

The hot air balloon slowly left the ground, and a nervous expression appeared on Sun Dajun's face.

He carefully controlled the heater to allow the hot air balloon to rise steadily.

As the hot air balloon gradually rose, Sun Dajun gradually relaxed.

He began to enjoy the flight, an excited smile on his face.

Hu Qing stood aside, looking at Sun Dajun and Qingyin, feeling relieved.

He knew that they had all mastered the basic skills of flying and would soon be able to operate a hot air balloon independently.

The hot air balloon flew slowly in the air, and the scenery below gradually became smaller.
