The tailor’s shop for custom-made orders is located in the county town.
Under the temptation of money, the shop’s speed was beyond imagination. In just over half an hour, they tailored two Taoist robes.
“The little friend turned out to be a boy, he looks so cute in the Taoist robe!”
The tailor girl first praised Huai Qingyun, then said to Xuanqing:
“Daoist Priest, here’s your change, the twenty thousand yuan. If you have any other requests in the future, just contact me via WeChat, and we can deliver the goods to your door-”
“Thank you!”
Xuanqing nodded slightly and led Huai Qingyun on their way back.
Time passed, and it was now the afternoon.
In the Main Hall.
Yang Ying’s throat was a bit hoarse.
However, when she saw a few more people crowding the entrance of the main hall, she couldn’t help but continue to speak: “All the incense guests, please scan the QR code for incense on the side. The main god worshiped by our temple is…”
Hearing her voice, the incense guests woke up as if from a dream, and their eyes showed disbelief.
At this moment.
A little Taoist boy, five or six years old, wearing a Taoist robe, suddenly ran into the main hall.
“Sister Yang Ying, I’ve come to get the wooden fish. Sir said he’s going to start chanting.” Huai Qingyun said with a stern face and a slight bow.
In the main hall.
The incense guests saw Huai Qingyun in his Taoist robe and looked at him curiously.
This adorable child, wearing a Taoist robe, could it be Daoist Priest Xuanqing’s child?
When they heard that ‘the Daoist Priest is going to chant,’ they all became excited. To be more precise, most of them came here for the priest’s lecture.
So.
After burning incense and offering prayers, they all rushed to the courtyard outside.
Front yard.
Under the huge locust tree.
Xuanqing looked up at the treetop.
He saw that the branch he used to sit on before had grown into a round disc shape just big enough to fit a cushion.
Without thinking, he knew.
The reason for this change must be Huai Qingyun’s doing.
He didn’t expect that this kid, who looked silly on the surface, was actually quite thoughtful and considerate – a really good, caring attendant.
At this moment.
The youthful Huai Qingyun came running out of the main hall, holding a wooden fish in his hands.
“Sir, here’s your wooden fish!” Huai Qingyun blinked his eyes.
Xuanqing nodded, took the wooden fish, and with one leap, jumped onto the branches and landed on the spot grown by Huai Qingyun into a round disc.
He sat cross-legged, holding the wooden fish.
As a “dong” sound rang out, the originally bustling courtyard suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the sound, and they looked up at the sitting Daoist Priest.
Then,
Mysterious scriptures began to resound.
Everyone had a look of intoxication on their faces, their eyes tightly closed, as if they were in a trance.
Those who had come here once before and had experience, had already put their phones in their pockets.
As for those inexperienced or unbelieving incense guests, the sound of their phones falling to the ground could be heard, and the screens of the unlucky ones shattered on the spot.
At the same time.
A stronger power of incense fire emerged from these guests’ heads, fluttering towards Xuanqing, who was reciting the scriptures.
“I want it so much-” Huai Qingyun’s eyes gleamed, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
However,
He knew that this incense fire belonged to his master and was not for him to enjoy, so he could only stare at them being collected by his master using the Gathering Qi Bead.
Up on the treetop.
Seeing the longing look on his attendant’s face,
Xuanqing showed a smile.
With a thought in mind.
Mana within the body transformed into a pair of illusory giant hands, grabbing a handful of incense fire that drifted over, and then threw it at Huai Qingyun under the tree.
After that, the illusory giant hands also lightly touched the child’s head.
At this moment.
Huai Qingyun, who was drooling, was suddenly struck by a warm current, and then felt as if he had been gently patted on the head.
He looked up at the tree and saw the old man smiling at him.
Huai Qingyun grinned and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Sir to show his loyalty.
In the evening.
The Taoist temple regained its usual tranquility.
Xuanqing was in a good mood and even cooked a pot of Spiritual Rice in the kitchen.
It’s worth mentioning that,
Huai Qingyun, a little fellow who was obviously a plant, unexpectedly liked to eat Spiritual Rice too, which was really an alarming case of self-devouring.
Yang Ying also enjoyed the meal thoroughly, feeling extremely comfortable, her belly bulged, and she slumped in her chair, not moving an inch.
Having eaten and drunk to their fill,
It was time to talk business.
“Yang Ying, from now on, you don’t have to handle the reception of incense guests in the Taoist temple.”
Upon hearing this,
Yang Ying was shocked, she didn’t care about her swollen belly and quickly stood up. Her face looked panic-stricken.
“Daoist Priest, did…did I do something wrong? Please give me another chance, I’ll… I’ll change.”
Now Yang Ying had already understood that following the Daoist Priest, the benefits were not only that twenty thousand yuan monthly wage.
Aside from that, just the two jade talismans the daoist priest had given her were invaluable. If she were to sell them, she fears that even if the bidding price was one million, there would be buyers.
Therefore,
She didn’t want to leave the Daoist Priest’s side, nor did she wish to lose this job. She could only stare pitifully at the Daoist Priest, nearly letting her tears fall.
“You don’t have to be like this. I’m not trying to fire you!”
Xuanqing shook his head and then said, “I’ve thought about it. As for the reception of incense guests, we can let Huai Qingyun handle it.”
“As for you, the main focus should be on developing the scale of the Taoist temple, researching how to attract more incense guests, and even setting up branches in the future.”
“If you do well, I’ll give you a raise.”
After hearing these words,
Yang Ying thought to herself how she only wanted to stay by the Daoist Priest’s side, but when she met his eyes, she opened her mouth and didn’t dare to say it out loud.
After a moment of silence,
“Daoist Priest… I… I’ll work hard!”
“Hmm, do well, and what 1 can give you is not just a salary!” Xuanqing encouraged her once again.
Just like that.
The person in charge of receiving incense guests became the little Taoist boy, Huai Qingyun.
And Yang Ying, after being liberated, did not idle around, she specially handled the worldly affairs of the Taoist temple, such as managing the official website, handling procedures, and hiring construction teams.
As such,
After the road construction documents were approved by the government office, Yang Ying immediately hired a road construction team to come to the foot of Qingping Mountain.
Because they didn’t want to delay the visitors’ incense offering, the construction team started building up from the side of the small path, bit by bit.
Time slowly passed.
There was no concept of time in cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.
After continuously practicing drawing jade talismans for this period, Xuanqing’s “Five Elements Formation” had made great progress.
He had advanced from the ‘entry-level’ stage to the minor success stage.
Now, even if he didn’t activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom, he would have a one hundred percent chance of successfully refining the jade talisman, only slightly slower.
“Next, I’m going to attempt to refine compound jade talismans, as well as set up talisman arrays with different jade talismans!”
A glint flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes.
Just as he was about to make a move,
The prompt that appeared in his mind canceled his original cultivation plan.
“Beep! Player’s cultivation has reached the limit, standby mode for cultivation stops; continue to activate standby after a breakthrough!”
