Xuanqing stood up, flicked his duster, and a lucky cloud appeared in front of them. He had already displayed the divine power of cloud-rising in the air.
“Come on!”
“Oh-”
Huai Qingyun nodded, leaped up, and flew onto the lucky cloud.
Hekou Town.
A small town not too big nor small, located near the source of Qingping River on the border of Liucheng County.
In the suburban area of the small town, a newly-built Taoist temple named Hekou View, covering an area of 400 square meters, was built.
There were two Taoists, old and young, in the Taoist temple. The old one was eighty years old with white hair, while the young one was only fourteen or fifteen.
“Jingyang, come, you wipe the outside of the main hall, remember to wipe every place!” The elder Daoist smiled kindly and commanded the little Taoist. “Master, didn’t we just clean it yesterday? Do we have to clean it again today?” The little Taoist’s eyes widened, his face a disbelieving expression.
“Foolish, you itchy forget that the new or renovated Taoist temples must be wiped every day for the first seven days.” The elder Daoist’s face became serious.
Hearing this.
The little Taoist suddenly remembered the scripture’s rule about house cleaning for the first seven days after moving into a Taoist temple.
“Sigh-”
He sighed deeply, his whole body slumped down in defeat, but he could only reluctantly obey, picked up the bucket and cloth, and started wiping outside.
While wiping.
He saw the notice board placed at the entrance.
The notice board stated that after entering the Taoist temple, one must first offer incense to the main god of the temple, and also explained some simple rules, such as offering incense to the Three Pure Ones with nine incense sticks and nine bows, no photography in the Main Hall…not accepting merits, and so on.
“Master, you said that this Immortal Official from the Shangqing Department is also a Taoist, then why do we have to make him our main god instead of directly worshiping the Three Pure Ones?” The little Taoist asked the elder Daoist next to him who was sweeping the ground.
As soon as these words were spoken.
“Haha-”
The elder Daoist first laughed loudly, then raised his eyebrows and said, “Why… because he gave us money, to put it bluntly, even if the Three Pure Ones wanted to come down the mountain to accept the incense, they would still have to rely on this Taoist brother’s financial support!”
Most cultivators have a free and easy personality and are not bound by trivial matters. They also revere the Three Pure Ones in their hearts, unlike some Buddhist monks who always say “Amitabha” but have dirty hearts.
“So that’s how it is, he’s really rich!” The little Taoist suddenly realized and exclaimed.
“Yes, it’s not just about money, but also a kind heart and a heart to promote Taoism-”
The elder Daoist stopped sweeping and looked into the distance.
To move all the Taoist temples in Changling City out of their remote locations would probably cost a few billion.
No admission fees, no high incense, free food for incense guests, and a monthly salary of twenty thousand yuan for them, these elderly Taoists.
Well… the other party did want some face, insisting that the main god of the Taoist temple be him, but compared to what the other party had invested, this little bit of face was nothing.
This was also the reason why the elder Daoist was willing to come down from the mountain. If the other party was willing to promote Taoism, they, these old men, could not say how much help they could provide, but at least they should not drag the other party’s legs.
At this moment.
Not to mention the elder Daoist in the courtyard who was feeling how good Xuanqing was.
A lucky cloud indeed drifted from afar, eventually stopping above the Hekou Taoist Temple.
“Let’s become invisible first-”
Xuanqing first made a hand seal, hiding himself.
Then with the duster in his hand, he gently tapped on Huai Qingyun beside him, hiding his entire body as well.
Afterwards.
The two of them slowly floated down onto the roof of the Main Hall.
With a thought.
Three jade talismans and two blank Gathering Qi Beads appeared in Xuanqing’s hand.
There were three jade talismans: Serenity Jade Talisman, Soul-calming Jade Talisman, and a miniature Five Elements Ring Array Jade Talisman.
“Qingyun, you take a look, this Five Elements Ring Array Jade Talisman will be hit in the space above the main hall, with about two-tenths of its effect stimulated.”
Speaking of it.
Xuanqing placed one of the jade talismans at the position on the roof that exactly corresponded to the position of the god tablet and then injected mana into it to stimulate its effect.
In an instant.
A small space of about half a square meter appeared.
“Next, stimulate the effects of the Serenity Jade Talisman and the Soul-Calming Jade Talisman vertically downward, and remember to cover the front of the god tablet and the position of the cushion.”
Xuanqing lifted a tile and pointed to a cushion in front of the god tablet below.
“Oh, I understand, Sir. Finally, put the Gathering Qi Bead in, right?” Huai Qingyun nodded and answered first.
“Smart!”
Xuanqing had a smile on his face, touched Huai Qingyun’s head, and praised him.
“Hehe~” Huai Qingyun chuckled, there was nothing more worth being happy about for him than being praised by his master.
“Alright, since you’ve figured out how to do it, leave the rest of the Taoist temples to you, and I’ll go back first!”
“Yes, sir, you can rest assured.”
After watching his master leave.
Huai Qingyun looked at the pile of Jade Talisman and Gathering Qi Beads in his hand and flew to the next Taoist temple with full enthusiasm.
Qingping Mountain.
After Xuanqing returned, when he was about to continue to cultivate divine powers.
“It seems like 1 forgot something.”
Suddenly.
He remembered.
Two months ago, he asked Yang Ying to buy seeds for 20,000 mu of high-yield grain and acquire an agricultural company.
However, he was obsessed with practicing divine powers and completely forgot about it. Even more importantly, his phone was shut down for a long time, and only Huai Qingyun, the subordinate god, could contact him.
Thinking of this.
Xuanqing turned on his phone.
As expected.
A bunch of information popped up, including a message from Elder Jingde saying that all the Taoist temples had been relocated, and Yang Ying saying that the seeds had been purchased and asked when they would be sent over, as well as the company been acquired, etc.
“Sigh- I’m a bit incompetent as a boss!” Xuanqing sighed and criticized himself in his heart.
Then.
He dialed the other party’s number.
Beep- beep… the call went through.
“Hello, Daoist Priest, you’ve finally come out of your seclusion. When will you send the high-yield grain seeds?” Yang Ying’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Tonight, as for the location, it’s the same place as last time when we sent the flour!” Xuanqing said.
“Okay, there’s one more thing. The agricultural company has been acquired, and it’s…currently under our company’s umbrella. What do you think…how should we handle it?”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing frowned slightly and said after a moment of thought: “Keep the research institute and production department of the agricultural company, and dismiss all the others. This company doesn’t need to make a profit.”
“Yes!”
Although the instruction was a bit strange, Yang Ying didn’t find it strange coming from the Daoist Priest and quickly agreed.
At night.
Xuanqing came to the hillside.
He received all the seeds sent by Yang Ying into the game backpack, and after doing this, he continued his closed-door cultivation of the 36 Heavenly Gangs..
